2024-10-29 19:42:56I stutter for a minute. Will he reject the contract?
I am having mixed emotions. A part of me wants that to happen which is very evident by now. But the other part of me wants to hold onto it because of the benifits I will get from this deal.
"Well, since I have a good mood today, I won't judge you on that basis. But remember this as an important lesson, Miss Adarsh. I don't like to be hanged on anything. I hope you take care of that." His voice reaches my ears as a warning.
Suddenly, I feel like shooting this guy from the phone. Why is he so disgusting when he opens his garbage mouth?
"Okay. I apologise for my behavior,Mr. Saxena." I say in a straight tone with not a tinge of devotion in it. Honestly, I don't even want to care.
Again, sure you want to have a deal with this guy,Meera? I question myself. He's even more difficult than the units I have

"How do you feel?" Lai closes her almirah and brings me a dress."What do you mean? What happened to me?" I raise my eyebrows. Did I get sick recently?Lai rolls her eyes at me and puts the dress on the bed."You just signed the contract. How do you feel?" She hops beside me on the bed."Seriously,Lai? How am I supposed to feel? I don't know. Maybe I feel like dancing and screaming 'Yes! My already screwed life is going to be more pathetic ever. Congratulations on the development'. Or maybe, I should jump off the roof. I'll give you the responsibility of planning my burial ceremony. Yayy!" I raise my hand,faking joy.Lai sighs and pats my shoulder."Don't worry,babes. It'll be fine. I hope that Saxena guy is better than the creep he sounded like yesterday.""Yeah, trust me. I want that more than you do. I'm thinking of ways

I gulp in the hot curry, letting the question burn my throat.Mrs. Sharma is an expert in throwing two bombs the same day."Umm,mo-" Lai starts speaking but I interrupt her."Sure,aunty. After finishing dinner, I'll call mom for a talk." I smile nervously.My stepmother won't be a problem if I explain her everything. Because she's the main reason I am into this mess. So I'll text her about it before I call her.But what about the package? What should I show her? Damn!Lai eyes me from the corner,but I avoid her glances. I'll explain her everything later. Our eye to eye secret code sharing may induce suspicion from aunty. Now I believe every word Lai said about her mother.She really is Sherlock Holmes 2.0."Come on, Aarti. The girl is here after a long time. Why do you disturb her with such stupid questions

"Should I come with you?" Lai asks me while rubbing her eyelids. Sleeping beauty is finally awake."No need. You stay here. I'll go to Eleanor to get my dress and makeup." I say wearing my tank top over my bra. I tie my hair in a ponytail carelessly and don't care to put anything in my face."You should apply some balm to your lips. They are cracking up." Lai looks at me with droopy eyes. Seriously? Even a sleepyhead can see that how bad my lips are? Great.I sigh. "Where's your lipbalm?" I ask, looking around.."It's in my college bag. I always carry it with me. In the first chain." She yawns, eating half of her words in the process.I unzip her bag and get Babylips out of it. I press my finger on the balm surface and brush my finger over my chapped lips. Geesh! They really are bad.I put it back in the bag and check my look on the mirror. Though,it do

"What do you think?" I say nonchalant of the dress I am wearing, which may be worth a fortune. Wait. Can I steal and sell it for money?"Meera! You look stunning. Red is so your colour " Eleanor smiles at me.For a second,I actually feel flattered. For a second.And there comes back my headache. I just want to cut off my forehead for today."Thanks" I walk over to the mirror and stare at my reflection.Eleanor isn't flattering me. She's saying the truth! My body does look good.My eyes roam over my entire silhouette,not like a pervert, please. The silky red evening gown cascades down my waist smoothly and the fabric hugs every single curve of my body, emphasising them. The V-shaped neckline ends below some of my cleavage and I can't help but wonder that I do have a sexy cleavage. Born and brought up in Indian culture,my body has always been

It's been an hour or so and I feel my heart beating in my chest. Maybe, it's the anticipation of my meeting with Dhruv.I stare at the left side window, watching the streets pass by. The high-rise buildings are visible through the light on the windows. They look stunning.The tears in my face have dried long ago. I can't cry too much or else my makeup will be ruined. Even though I despise the idea of all this creamy stuff on my face, I don't want to look like Valak on frenzy mode in front of Dhruv.I lean my head on the headrest, not caring about how it will ruin my perfectly ironed hair. Well, I do care. But I just can't manage all of this together. I like the clumsy me with my hair in a simple ponytail or a bun and wearing my comfortable cheap clothes.I sigh. I just pray that all of this gets easier with time.Six months,Meera. Six months.I re

Dhruv's POVI wake up with the morning rays inviting my eyes.Finally, it's happening. I didn't expect that girl Meera to accept the contract. I can see the pain in her eyes and the hate she holds for me. She thinks that she can put up that facade,but that's where she goes wrong.You don't play in front of the master player thinking that you can win.Smirking over my thought, I move out of my bed and reach out for the glass of water kept for me by Lia,beside my bed.Sipping in the lukewarm water, I stand in front of my glass door that leads to the balcony. The view from here is refreshing. It reminds me how small the world is and how I stand above the race, holding the leash of those struggling ants who call themselves human.After finishing my drink, I walk over my workout wardrobe and pull out my black track pants and grey hoodie.&nb

Dhruv's POVI am excited to meet her today. Not because I want to see her,but I want study her further and know how far can she carry that fake facade of hers."Sara! Have you cancelled all the meetings today?" I ask Sarah while putting on my wrist watch."Yes,sir. Though Sir..." She stops in between her words, scared to speak ahead."What is it?" I look at my reflection on the mirror. I look perfect. It'll be good for a start. Though I don't think Meera is a girl who likes a guy from his appearance. Another trait of her that intrigues me."It-it...Mrs. Saxena called today." She says with her voice trembling. Sara knows my temper.I close my eyes to control the rage building inside me. My jaw turns rigid and all I can see is red. That woman just loves to ruin my day!Control yourself! Not today. Today, you need to be at my best be

That's all. Then, I'll leave.

Being His Epilogue
One month later, I finally got custody for Sonia. Thanks to Dhruv and his high-paid, fancy private investigators and lawyers on the run, it was a piece of cake. Udipi was immediately charged and found guilty in the court. I never expected this day would come. But my heart is finally at peace. I got what I craved for a long time. Freedom from Udipi Adarsh. My house was free from investigation and so I shifted back there. Though I kept making stupid reasons to stay in Dhruv's mansion. Hey, don't judge me right away! It was not because it was comfortable. The house he gifted was no less than heaven. But it was because...you get it right?So, I had to forcefully drag myself back to my house with Laila and Sonia. Aunty and Uncle did not have a single clue that their daughter had done a heroic job of getting me out of the grasps of jail and actually visiting a police station. I don't even want them to know because Aunty will certainly pass out from
Being His Chapter 101
We rush past the people towards the counter of the Airport. The moment the car stopped, Dhruv's men told him that they had spotted her and stopped her in time. Sonia is also with them. The news itself made my adrenaline rush kick in and without a second thought and a second glance,I ran to the entrance. Of course it was a mistake, since the security caught me. But Dhruv got us through within a few seconds. He didn't even have to say anything. The moment the guards saw him, they understood who he was. I believe power gives that to you.A few seconds later, I spot a woman standing with a child, talking to a few men wearing black suits. My eyes grow wide in recognition and my heart feels like it will break through my ribs and land into my hand. Udipi notices me and her face loses all its colors. But all my attention is taken over Sonia who is still crying. Her one cheek looks very red. Did she slap her? That bitch! I lunged at her, in between th
Being His Chapter 100
In a moment, the police barges in the house and in front of my eyes, Sonia is dragged by Udipi Adarsh. I try to explain to them why I have kept my sister with me,but due to lack of evidence, they don't believe me. Plus, now they will take me in custody because according to Udipi's claim, I forced Sonia to stay with me. And because of my Sugar baby job, I am trying to push Sonia into prostitution.It takes only a few hours to find myself standing in the police, begging the officers to believe me. But they rather push my words away and consider me as the accused. What has this day turned to? Tears stream down my eyes as I stand helpless, cuffs in my hand, ready to get under the bars. Is this how my life is going to be now? And what about Sonia? I don't know what that disgusting bitch would do to my sister. Sell her to a brothel? Get her married? All these thoughts keep haunting me. And I would be able to do nothing. If I had some time, I would

"Um...I—" I don't get any words to say. I believe Dhruv will say something about it, but he stares at me too. Waiting for my answer. Marriage? Why is this topic even coming up?"Would you?" Dhruv asks and I look at him. Is this some kind of proposal? What should I do? It reminds me of Eleanor's story. The way her rich husband left her. Wait! What the fuck! Marriage shouldn't be a topic here at all! I am too young, well according to me I am. This is not the time to get married. Also, I am not going to marry Dhruv! Especially after hearing what Eleanor said. We have just got to know each other."I don't know." I look down at my nails, and there is silence for a moment."Means, you are not sure that my brother is the one for you?" Harsh asks in a serious tone. Where the fuck is this coming from?"Brothers, I think this is too much. Why ask such a question righ
Being His Chapter 98
Meera's POVI put on the pearl white dress Eleanor brought for me without any hesitation and sit for the two hours long torture. Why can't makeup be relaxing like a spa? After the torture is over, I look at the mirror to find my enhanced face with all the makeup and shit. "Eleanor?""Hmm?" She responds behind me, looking through something on her phone."Dhruv came to my house yesterday but I did not see Blondie—I mean the guy who is incharge of watching over us.""Yes, I know. I wanted to discuss about it with you and Mr. Saxena today but since there is a change of plan, I have to shift the meeting to some other day.""Okay. Also, are you sure that Dhruv told you to dress me up in a certain type of clothing?""Yes. He called me again after ending the call to give me specific instructions on how you shoul
Being His Chapter 97
Dhruv's POVI stare at the lady, who Ajay claims to be Meera's mother. It is hard to believe that the claims are true because she has nothing identical with Meera. And there is a certain malicious look in her face that only experienced eyes can catch. Which I certainly have. "Oh, I see. Hello Mrs. Adarsh."She nods her head with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Saxena. It is very nice to finally meet you.""Same here. I am fortunate that I could meet you. Meera does not speak much about her family. So I believed you did not live with her.""Ah, yes,yes. I actually come from Kolkata. I recently came here. Meera did not say anything?""No.""Oh…" she looks down. "Why would she, of course." She mumbles,but just in the way it is audible to both Ajay and my ears. Does not fit right with me."S
Being His Chapter 96
Dhruv's POV"Boris, make sure my suit is ready for today. I will be home by four in the evening." I tell him and he bows his head. I have told Sia to get my schedule ready today. I had plans to take Meera out,but thanks to my family, it is all ruined now. Yet, I am glad that I still get to spend my time with her. I had told Eleanor about the change in plans and she agreed to do all the arrangements. Though I don't have a clue on what arrangements she was talking about because Meera needs none. A beauty like her can bewitch people with anything. I loved her choice of wearing a saree when I took her to meet my family. One of the things I love about her. She knows what she needs to do. I don't understand why she keeps telling me that she is not good enough to earn a luxury like the one I have gifted her. A woman like her can make anything stand worth millions. She has the brains for it. I need to show her how smart she is. And how brave.
Being His Chapter 95
I gasp at her words. "What! But why?""It is because even if you show your love, not telling it means not considering it at all. This will give the next person the impression that you care for them but not anything more than that.""Wait a minute, love? I don't—" I hesitate. I don't love him, right? Love is a deep word to even start with."Leave it. Let's get some food. I bought some vegetables from the market. Can you make something out of them?""Hmm. Bring the packet here." She brings the packet before I start putting the vegetables on the kitchen island and see what I can make out of them. Yet my head revolves around what Lai said a few minutes ago. Will I lose him if I don't tell him my feelings?***********The next day, Eleanor calls me to her office very early and I give Lai the responsibility to take care of Sonia.
