CHAPTER.................2
Piya had thought Kabir was different. All through their two year relationship, he had reassured her of his respect for her beliefs. It turned out he was just saying that so he could marry into her family's money. It had come out after the party that he was practically broke, and his parents had cut him off, so he needed to keep her happy and get into some money. All this had been spread out for the world to see in every gossip column in the country. After two weeks of everyone trying to hide everything from her, and some crazy stalker letters offering to teach her how to not be an ice queen, as the press called her, she decided enough was enough and headed for a small but nice mountain retreat.

The advertisements promised a quiet, out of the way vacation, and this was not the kind of place anyone in her group would go, so she knew it was perfect. It was the off season, so there had been very few guests at the small resort, and either the staff really didn't read the papers, or they were just discreet enough not to mention it. No one had bothered her for the entire two weeks she was here. Piya made a note to be sure to add the place to her regular vacation destinations. One she would visit alone.
Everything was packed, so she grabbed her bags and set off for the front desk. Sitting at the desk was Avni .

She was such a sweet woman, in her early forties with long straight dark brown hair that she kept pulled into a ponytail. She had been there everyday for the last two weeks. She was the manager and had her own apartment at the resort. "Hello, sweetie, is it time to go already?" Avni asked as she saw Piya's bags.
