Vikram POVA week. Seven excruciatingly slow days. Seven days since I am cooped up in this magnificent mansion which has now started to feel like a bloody cage.After our last meeting in the dining area, where my boss had in not so threatening manner appointed Rahul as my shadow, my life has become like a prisoner put under strict security. All my belief about Rahul being my friend flew out of the window in the past seven days. He is an asshole, just like his brother.And there is not even a day went by where I did not think about thousand and one ways to kill him. He practically made my life a living hell in the name of taking care of me.After our meeting in the dining area Arjun and Rahul started doing all the digging except nothing came in our hand. Every clue we tried to follow led us to dead end. Two days later one of our trusted guards, Joseph guarding our Mumbai mansion called us to inform that they received a pen drive along with a note attached to it. But that was not what ma
Shweta POVI flung open the door and just when I kept my right foot outside to escape from this hell hole, the door was harshly closed. He fisted my dress from behind and I was pulled back in his embrace. His bare naked front hit my clothed back, and his arms banded around my midriff, my feet barely touching the ground now.A scream escaped my lips due to the frustration of not succeeding as well as fearing the consequence. He would surely kill me or worst rape me again till I bleed from every hole of my body. My survival instinct kicking in, I thrashed in his hold with everything I had, to reach for the door once again, as it still remained unlocked.I knew it from every cell of my body that he won’t spare me today, definitely not after the stunt that I had pulled now. With renewed determination, I dig my nails in his arms drawing, scratching it along the process.“Stop it.” He gritted furiously.“Let me go you bastard.” I screamed on his face and my hands went for his face to scratc
AYAAN POVPlacing the post mortem report on the table, I slumped in my chair.My father, Viren uncle and I are currently in a hotel in Daman. After our previously planned blast did not go the way it should have been, we thought about changing our tactics.There was utter chaos in all over Maharashtra. None of the gang members could even guess what we are looking for or who we are looking for. Raising further suspicion that either they were not involved in Aadi uncle’s murder and Shweta’s abduction at all or the culprit is just way too smart to get caught.With all the chaos taking place between the gangs, it is easy to conclude that a war is on the way. When it would happen no one could guess, but it is sure to happen. Since it has been a long time, that my dad and Viren uncle had stepped down from their position as a boss, no one would suspect us.And about me, I am just a ghost in our world just like Shweta. Whoever, knows about my existence, except our trusted men, are six feet und
Continuation of the conversation from ‘She is the cause’ARJUN POV“Both of you, out now.” I screamed at Vikram and Rahul, who are still rooted on their spot, unable to process or still trying to process the valuable information she has unknowingly provided.I don’t mind having them here, it is just this is not the right time. My head is already bursting and I could hardly keep my eyes open due to lack of sleep and the headache that has accompanied my sleep deprivation.Maybe I should have talked to her sooner. At least we would have gotten some lead about that person who had literally robbed us our peace of mind.As much as I hate her or at least try to, I won’t deny the fact that my sleep deprived eyes would get the much needed sleep its craving, in her presence. There would be no nightmare or blood and I would not be waking up sweating.I know it all. I have experienced it all once, while aiding her on the first day of her period. I laid beside her with no intention of sleeping, ye
ARJUN POVI woke up with a soft body pressed against mine. Her head on my hand, face pressed against my chest, an arm around my torso and a leg over my legs.I have been awake for the past one hour but somewhat I did not have the heart to get up. This small room which is smaller than my bathroom and this bed somewhat made all my pain and exhaustion go away. It’s eleven in the morning. As far as I remember, we went to bed around eleven in the night. I slept for more than ten hours. I don’t remember when was the last time, I slept for so long, but it is the longest I have slept in the last three years.The maids knocked the door twice. First to bring her clothes, so she can freshen up and second to bring breakfast. And I dismissed them both the times and went for sleep again and I slept. That itself is a miracle considering my sleep pattern.Shweta sleeping for so long is what caught my attention. She would normally wake up around eight in the morning. In fact, she would be awake even b
RAHUL POVI was getting irritated as well as frustrated because of my so-called best friend, Vikram. I don’t know if I should bang my head on the wall or his. The idiot went out of his way and hacked Siddharth Mehra’s company’s computer system.Why?So that he can add our fake names to his clients list with whom he has meetings today. That Siddharth Mehra is going to have a bloody heart ache, if he has a slightest inkling to what Vikram is up to nowadays. Now, he wants me to convince Arjun Bhai, to permit us to go out so that he can meet his lover boy.The meeting is in three hours i.e. at four p.m. and it is already one p.m. Apparently, I have just two hours to convince bhai, because it would take around one hour for us to reach his office.“You promised you will convince Arjun.” He said irritated, as if I am not fulfilling my promise to him.“I promised you nothing. I said I will try to convince him, and I asked two bloody days’ time for that.” I gritted and continued “Just what the
Vikram POVMy foot tapped on the white marble floor impatiently. Rahul was busy reading some business magazine. There were several buildings which held the name Mehra Group of Hotels in the city. All the buildings looked magnificently grand as if they came just out of a well talented architecture. It screamed of money and luxury, making me realize how rich he is.The photos and the pictures available on the magazines and internet did not give any justice to its true beauty. The moment our car entered the gate, our door was opened by two valets. I am grateful for Rahul, that he decided to bring his Bentley for the meeting. We had to show that we are here to invest in Siddharth Mehra’s new project. Therefore, we had to look rich enough for people to believe we are investors.It is altogether a different matter that we don’t have even a slightest idea what the project is about. But who cares. The moment I will meet him; I am sure he will understand. And I hope against all odds that he do
Rahul POVShe walked in, like a queen and behind her stood four guards protecting her. They probably don’t know that she does not need protection from others, people around her needs protection from her. If anything, Riya Mehra is a force to be reckoned with. Her beauty being one of the most lethal weapon she carries around.Her eyes scanned us head to toe as if measuring our intention and then she smiled. A smile so evil that would put the devil to shame and she uttered the words that made the ground beneath us slip.“Well, well I will be damned if it is not the great conman Rahul Sighania and the coward Vikram.”She bloody knew us. Vikram and I looked at each other understanding the gravity of the situation. She knew then it also implies her brother knew too. Vikram’s face looked pale. My friend is scared, not because we were caught red-handed but because he would lose the only chance he has to meet Siddharth. If she has already conveyed our fraudulent way to come here, then there i
