Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The next day, I woke up from my bed and waited for Eleanor's call. She informed me earlier that Dhruv has planned another date between us. I don't mind that and I will be getting the pay, so that's what really matters. But other than that, what keeps revolving around my head is the memory of what Dhruv said a few days back. Whatever he meant by it, for some reasons, it made me feel good inside. I don't know if I am just being stupid or not. Because Dhruv's expressions appear very genuine and a person like me who is a walking lie detector did not catch a thing in my brain device.
Sonia sleeps peacefully in front of me and I smile at her. Her health has automatically turned better after she came here. I cannot take her to a doctor right now because I don't have the money,but once I get this month's cut, I will make sure to give her a check-up. It is more because I am worried what kind of things Udipi made her consume. The mere thought of it mak

I look at the man sitting beside me through the corner of my eye. I usually don't feel like a pervert, checking out guys but this one is exceptional. He is really good looking and I can't help but steal some glances. Is he the one assigned to look after us? Hmm. He is wearing a formal black suit under a white shirt and a red tie. It enhances his blonde hair that is short and has a neat cut. I can tell he is from here."Hi! What's your name?" I ask in a jolly voice but all he does is stare out of the video and does not respond. I grunt. Such arrogance. Nowadays, I can see people worse than Dhruv on the street including him. Not even a name? That is straight cut rudeness!"Don't worry, Meera. He is very professional with his work. It is more because of beautiful women being Sugar babies, he keeps his voice to himself. Or he knows he will drift away." David says from the front seat."Oh.

Dhruv does not revolt for once when I pull him towards another ride and then another. He strangely remains silent and there is no hint of him being angry. And I feel powerful. Since Dhruv did not make any contact with me but rather I did, it does not break the clause of the contract. Not that I am interested in holding his hand or anything. He just looks a bit pale and lost in this amusement park which makes me come to this assumption that he is not used to living like this. And rides nauseate him. Plus, blondie here is in no shape to take care of him. He looks like he is lost in his own world and hardly pulling through."You should have told me earlier that you don't like rides." I say and he flushes."I—they are childish. I don't understand the concept of enjoying something like that." He defends and I chuckle."Come on. They are not that childish. But I do respect your point. Not
Being His Chapter 71
The journey to my house is peacefully silent. No one makes a noise or tries to start a conversation. And strangely, it does not feel required at this moment either. Dhruv looks past his side of the window without spilling a word. I do the same, but my thoughts are more or less focused on our moment on the Giant wheel. It felt too magical to be true. Did I fall asleep and dream about it? I don't know. The mixed emotions induced from the incident render me silent and blondie behind... Well, he does not even fall into the context. No one can tell that he is sitting behind our seat.Dhruv was sceptical about taking him along because it is weird. But since rules are rules, he had to. I seriously don't get the concept of having someone like him with us to keep a watch. What are we? Five year old kids? Though the fact that we went into an amusement park, and Dhruv bought a bag full of potato chips proves the above statement. He offered to give both

"You know what happened??!!!" Lai screams and squeals to the extent that I have to close my ears shut. These are the times I feel my future will be deaf, if not blind."Stop it! First of all, how would I know? Secondly, you are screaming too much! If Aunty hears you another time, the fate of your day will be spent in the hands of scrubbing dishes and cleaning the floor. Do you want that?"Laila gasps. "Yeah, yeah. You are right. I just got one day to relax. I can't do household work." Her eyes grow wide and look in space."Exactly, my point. Now spill all the details, from head to butt. Did any guy try hitting on you?" I wiggle my somewhat existing eyebrows. If Eleanor and her torturous team of hell did not fix, I would have to question their entire existence resting on my forehead. I have to give them the credits for that. Farming eyebrows in barren land is not an easy job.&

Dhruv calls me at night, after I go through the net to look for a job for Laila and we come to the conclusion that she should try out teaching nursery students because she loves kids. He tells me about her next date which is tomorrow, which unfortunately also collides with the day Laila is going for her first job interview. Now, knowing this girl, I cannot leave her alone on her own. Or else the interview staff will kick her out in a second. So I came up with a plan."Uh, can we make this a bit early this time?" I ask and squeeze my eyes in anticipation of what his reply would be."Early? But why?" He asks from the caller's end, and clear disappointment reflects in his voice."Eh... it's because one of my friends has an interview tomorrow so I have to really go with her. It is really important for her future." An exhale comes from the other side and there is a moment of silence. A silence that s

Laila hops on the car with me following her lead. She settles on her place, talking about my dress when something catches her eye on the back. "Ah!!!" She screams."What?" I look to your back and find Blondie sitting in the backseat with a stoic face. How am I not surprised?"Who is he? When did he get inside the car? Oh my God, don't tell me…" her eyes grow wide at blondie. "...he's a terrorist!! David! Do you have any guns in your car? We must protect ourselves—""I am not a terrorist." A masculine voice comes from somewhere and I look around, trying to track the source of the voice. Did someone else talk here? Finding no one, I look back at Blondie whose blue eyes shoot daggers at Laila. Did he...did he really talk? He opens his sealed mouth again. "Don't call me that. I hate them." His hard eyes look down and he grunts."What is the proof that you are

"You seriously did not do that!" I point at the fallen train."No." Laila pants. "I just pressed the lever. That's all. Why would I be so stupid to break the train like that?""But it did break! What do we do now? We broke the school's property. Do we have to pay for it?" I look around and then walk towards the door to check if anyone is here or not. The corridor is empty and it does not look like anyone passed from here, since this is the last room. "Nobody was here. Then, let's do one thing. Put the toy back like it was before. I am sure they do not inspect toys that much. If they see any abnormalities later, we will say we don't know." I whisper and Laila nods her head.We bend over to the floor and start putting everything back in place. A few seconds later, the toy train station looks completely untouched. Laila bites her nail. "Nobody would understand that the train is broken, right?

"What the—" Dhruv looks down at the plastic empty bottle that hit him with utter disgust. "Who did this?" He looks up at the four of us, and his angry, hazel eyes look at me in realisation. I walk towards him with a guilty face. "Meera?" He points at the bottle that lays on the ground."I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I should have seen you coming. But it wasn't my intention at all." I touch his forehead. "Are you hurt?" I just hope this does not make me lose my job. This is the first time Dhruv is hit by something. The business tycoon is hit by a plastic bottle.Dhruv's hard eyes soften at my touch and there is a swirl of mixed emotions in them. Amusement? What is so amusing in this? "It's... alright. I'm okay." He fumbles with his words as he stares at me."Are you sure?" I scan his head and it looks clean. Nobody would be able to tell that he was hit by a plastic bottle. That also

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
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.
