2024-10-29 19:42:56I step out of the car and walk without sparing a glance at Dhruv. Of course, I don't want him to see the smile I have on my face. Duh!
I walk to Eleanor's office. I told Dhruv to drop me here as I need to get changed and then go home. Basically, I can't go to Lai's home wearing this fancy sexy black dress. Then,it will be the last day I stay at her house.
I enter the building and hear Dhruv's car driving away.
Today was amazing! I really loved the location and food of the hotel he took me to. But , that doesn't mean I am into him or interested in him in any way. Nope.
I wanted to give him the Illusion that I am. That will make the game much easier.
He definitely thinks that I am stupid enough to not see the motive behind his behaviour. It's not very hard to figure out.
I enraged his ego. So he wants to take revenge

"Meera!" Eleanor looks at me and gives a smile."Hi." My eyes drop on the little chum sitting on the bed and staring at me with her round green eyes."She is your daughter?" I ask"Yeah." Eleanor turns towards the little chum and smiles at her."What's her name?""Pearl." Eleanor repliesI walk towards the bed and sit close to Pearl.She keeps staring at me with a finger on her mouth."Hello,buddy. You're so pretty. " I say with a smile. She doesn't respond back but just keeps sucking her finger and looks at the bed." I love your cheeks. Can I have them?" I forward my hand to touch her cheeks and press them lightly. She is so cute."Okay,baby. Let's get you to sleep." Eleanor pulls Pearl in her arms and

"How many hours more?" I whisper in Lai's ear."A few minutes more. Mom is finishing." She whispers back with her eyes close and hands joined in prayer.I sigh and close my eyes again and do not dare to move from my praying position.I hear the bell ring. It is definitely aunty ringing the holly bell over the idols of our Hindu Gods.I feel someone poke my right arm,so I open my eyes and find aunty standing in front of me with her hands forwarded towards me. I understand what she means and I fold my palms ,one over the other to review the sweet. It's called 'prashad' in our place.I pour it in my mouth and jerk off the excess,not forgetting to touch the sweet on my forehead before I gulp it in. Well,I was taught all of it in India. Puja was more common there. My dad used to do it regularly. While me and Sonia tried to disturb him. Stran

"What did she say?""Have to go on another date with Dhruv and then I am eligible to ask for the month's salary." I say to Lai."That's good. Don't wait for it. Ask Dhruv whether he is interested to go on a second date." Lai says in excitement."Eleanor told the day of my last date that I was supposed to go on a date this Sunday with him.""Oh. That's the end of this week. " Lai's face drops."I will bargain for another day from Udipi. But the money is important. I need to go on this date." I say."Okay. But today is already Thursday. Shouldn't you be informed about when and where your next date will be?""Not really. Eleanor sometimes informs me about my date quite late. Like the day before the date. But it didn't cause any problem." I reply to Lai's question.Lai loo

I open the bathroom door and walk out.Lai looks at me and runs to hug me."I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said you like that. I know how much you are stressed about all this. Don't worry, everything will be fine."she says while caressing my back.I break the hug and look at her."Yes,it will be. And I don't need to care about what Dhruv thinks about me. He is not the best guy to judge me. And even if he does,why does it matter to me?" I explained to her."Yeah. You are right. But what about the date? Did he agree?" Lai asks in concern."Yes he did. I'm going to meet his family this Sunday." I confirm."That's great! Then you will be able to get the money!" Lai exclaims in happiness."Yeah. But before that,I have to ask for a day or two from Udipi. Dhruv definite

Dhruv's POV"What happened to the sales this month?" I ask sternly, looking at Samuel who is trying to avoid my gaze.Well, he should. He laid eyes on what's mine. I have to give him a taste of what happens when you mess with Dhruv Saxena."I didn't prepare the report. You said that you wanted the report ne-" I raise my hands to interrupt. His vicious face is increasing my temper."I don't have a room for your excuses Mr. Rodrick! It is either done or it is not." I look straight at him."It's not done." He says in a low voice.I smirk internally. Good."Well then in that case, I don't think you need to be a part of this project anymore." I see him look up at me with shock evident in his face."But-" he turns around at the other members who do not say a word. They surely would not.

The car parks in front of Eleanor's office. I hop out of the car, thanking David and walk towards the entrance.The day is sunny,the sky being super clear and there's a light breeze blowing the trees and my rebellious hair strands.What I discovered a few days ago was definitely scary. That's why I thought to talk to Eleanor about it before I prepare myself for the worse. Meeting the Saxena's.I walk inside the elevator,more like jumping inside. I feel good today. Maybe it's the weather. A few days ago, I was weeping about my reputation in front of Dhruv. But then,why should I worry about someone who's not worth the attention? And I will not be responsible for what people think about me. Because they didn't see my struggle or my problems. I do.I walk out of the elevator, singing Shape of You in my head."Eleanor?" I knock on the door and cal

"Do you think that the cab driver heard us?" Lai whispers I'm my ear."I'm not sure. But I did notice him looking at us when you said about Saxena's." I shrug.We walk up the stairs towards the entrance of the mall. Unlike any other day, it is full with people here and there. Since it's the weekend.We walk past the security check and enter the air conditioned first floor."I just love the smell of all those costly products and makeup and stuff." Lai inhales deeply.I scoff in return. Why does everyone have to terrorize with the idea of makeup. Well, as a matter of fact, Lai here is just the opposite of me. She loves makeup!"Let's take an escalator." I run forward, putting Lai in shock."Hey! Wait for me!" She runs me.I giggle and run towards the escalator. I love escalators. Wh

Where am I? I ask myself, looking around the vast hall. It looked royal. With huge white marble pillars and red curtains on the gold plated windows.Sunlight passed through the open windows, lighting up the hall."Welcome." I hear a lady's voice from behind.I turn around to come face to face with a silhouette. Strange. Her face is blurry. It's only her body that I can see. What the fuck?"You have come at the right time." She says in a high etiquette but grave way. If that even makes sense. More or less,her appearance screams danger."Where am I? Who are you?" I ask.The lady starts laughing as if I told her a joke."You ask me who I am after playing with the mind of my son?" She asks in a sarcastic tone.I get it. She is Dhruv's mother.

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

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

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.
