ARJUN POVPast“Tanu. Tanu.” I called entering our house and removing my shoes and socks.“Arjun Baba, you came early today.” Sarla Aunty asked.“Haan (yes) there is no more meetings today so I thought I will have lunch at home. Where is Tanvi?” I asked removing my coat and watch and gave it to a maid.“She is in her room. She said she is feeling sleepy and wanted to rest.” Sarla aunty replied.“Sleepy at 1’o clock in the afternoon?” I asked again.“Yes baba. She said because of tablets she is feeling sleepy, so I let her rest. I was just going to wake her up for lunch and you came.” She said.“Okay. You set the table, I will bring her down. And Sarla aunty please take help from other maids. Don’t do everything by yourself.” I said but knew she would not listen; she never did till now. Especially after our multiple failed attempts to get pregnant, she had taken the responsibility of our diet on her shoulders. And I am forever grateful to her for being a second mother to Tanu.Turning
Shweta POV“Give me the passcode, Arjun.” I asked rather demanded.Letting out a humorless laugh, he mocked “And here I thought you would threaten me with something like ‘I would chop your fingers and unlock your phone.’ But nope, here you are still asking for the code as if I would tell you just like that. Are you really a don’s daughter or some imposter? You should really start behaving like a Mafia Heiress otherwise the villains in our world will eat you alive.”Taking a deep breath and once again reminding myself that he is carrying a bloody freaking gun and could practically kill me within a fraction of second, I controlled my anger and said “Stop behaving as if I am asking for some nuclear launch codes or your safety lockers code.”“Trust me I would have given you both if I have knowledge about those without any hesitation. But not my phone. That’s beyond your reach. So be a good girl, listen to me and give me my phone back before it turns ugly for both of us.” It was a warning
Third Person POV“Let me go.” She whispered, her voice hoarse from all the crying yet one could not miss the fire in her dark orbs.“I am not the one holding you.” He stated, indicating her hold on his wrist with his eyes. Shweta’s eyes travelled to his wrist where she has held him and she immediately left his hand as if she would get burned if she touched him.She walked up to him, her toes almost touching his and her head reached up to his chest. Lifting her head, her bloodshot eyes met his, “You can never avenge your wife’s death. Your revenge is bound to remain unfinished.” The hurt she was feeling, she wanted him to feel at least one percent of it. And she knew she did hurt him with that one single sentence. It was visible like day light with the way his body turned rigid.Arjun clenched his jaw in anger and before he could give lash out at her, she continued “I am not her culprit. I never was. She did not know me. I did not know her. In this lifetime, we never crossed path and e
Arjun POVPastWe are in Dubai for more than one month now. This one month was absolute bliss and hectic for both us. We both were extremely busy indulging ourselves in extending our business as well as enjoying the city as tourists. There were back to back meetings with investors, employers, managers, civil engineers and so on. Tanvi was more than happy as she is finally able to put her MBA degree to some use also she is finally able to move around without any bodyguards tailing behind her.I own multiple chains of hotels and motels all over India. Rahul and I thought about extending our business in foreign countries too. Considering our line of work, it was kind of difficult to leave India and stay in another country for longer period of time to set up new hotels in other countries. After giving it an ample amount of time and thought, Rahul and I decided to go ahead with our plan. We were considering different tourist spots which are cheaper and affordable for Indians like Bali, Vie
Arjun POVPastWe all have heard and believed in love at first sight. Something that is not very uncommon. But have you ever fell in love with someone who has not even arrived in this world yet. Someone whom you have not even met. All you had seen is a tiny black dot in a black and white picture. And you know deep in your heart that your whole existence would revolve around that person.That person would soon be the reason for your existence. And you know you would protect it with your life. This is the exact feelings Tanu and I, are going through for the past ten days.After receiving the good news in the hospital, Tanu had cried rivers. Her tears were unstoppable. For the first time in the past five years, they were not tears of sadness or broken hope.Instead they were tears of happiness.Tears of relief.Tears of surprise.Tears of fulfillment of a desire.Tears of fulfillment of prayer.Tears of hope and many more.She had cried her heart out, hugging and kissing me not caring ab
Shweta POVIn the hushed embrace of the night, memories came haunting. Sleep, the only coping mechanism that I had used till now was far away from me eyes tonight. All his atrocities flashed before my eyes.The echo of cruel laughter of that monster and his men and the wound inflicted on my father’s body, did not let me close my eyes. After my recent encounter with him, I am sure about one thing. His revenge-driven mind would not let me go without breaking me beyond repair.There are times when his logical mind kicked in and he let me go unharmed. But there were also times when he stripped me of my dignity without any remorse and I am scared of that part of his mind.He won’t let me go unharmed every time. If there is one thing I am sure about then that is his primal need to avenge his wife’s death. And he would do it at any cost. So I have to be prepared. I can’t always escape merely by back answering him.I have to be prepared when I meet him next time. Also I have to think of way t
Third Person POV“Yes. Yes. I know. I know that monster’s name. His name is Ar……Aaaaaaaaaaaa” Before she could take her tormentors name, the phone was snatched away from her hand making her scream in horror and terror. Fear of getting caught and the aftermath, gripped her throatAnd she turned her head, ready to face the monster and what or she should say whom she faced left her frozen. The face which welcomed her was not the one she thought it would be.“Baby, Shweta. Jaan, are you there? Shweta, are you okay? Tell me you are okay. Shweta. Shweta.” They both heard the voice coming from the other end of the call and before Shweta could answer, the call was disconnected by the snatcher.Ayaan grew restless the moment the call got disconnected. The caller Id being blocked made it difficult for him to reach out to Shweta. Yet he tried calling the private number from the call list again and again but to no vail. The call got disconnected automatically every time he dialed.“Aaaahhhh.” He
Riya POVRelief coursed through me the moment Vikram bhai and Rahul left the room. I slumped on the chair in exhaustion and took a deep breath, grateful that it is all over and it went exactly as we planned.Rahul.Rahul Singhania.The man who made the ground beneath my feet slip.Tall, dark and confident, exuding a calm and murderous aura at the same time. Sharp jaw line and piercing eyes that would lead anyone’s soul naked. Left my soul naked for his bare eyes. And the impeccably tailored expensive suit, he was clad in exuded sophistication and elegance. Turning every one’s heads wherever he goes without any effort from his side. A man of refined style and natural charisma.If anything, I was not prepared for the Rahul, I met today. I did not brace myself for a man who stood extremely relaxed irrespective of the fact that I knew he was a mafia man. My team did their fair share of research before trapping them in our web of lies.Yes, lies.Everything is a lie. I expected a fierce per
