Third Person's POV
.
"I can't believe that you lost from a girl.", My best friend said, on which I glared at him.
Hell, even I couldn't believe that a girl beat me in a debate competition. For the first time, I felt that even a girl had a brain. I meant all I had seen were those girls whose brains were in their knees.
And that was the beginning of my love story.
I made sure that she never realized that I used to keep an eye on her all the time. Something was differently odd about her, and after keeping a tab on her every move. I came to know about her miserable life through my trusted resource.
My father's driver, who used to live who was the same neighborhood. (You can check Prologue for this. I have mentioned about a man over there). He told me how her parents treated her like shit since the very first day when they settled in their neighborhood.
I couldn't help but wonder how one could survive after handling all these tortures!
She might be known as the weakest person in the school, but for me, she was the strongest and toughest girl I had ever known.
I didn't realize when my curiosity for Falak changed my feelings for her. I started falling for her mind by each day more than before. But I couldn't approach her and share my feeling for her because of my reputation in the school and because of the fact which my father really was!!
But I couldn't control myself when I saw her crying in her hideout place on her own birthday. My best friend warned me about it, but I couldn't sit silently without making her realize that there was someone in her life that loved her without her knowledge.
When I received her message the day when she didn't attend school, I knew I had to do something before it was too late.
'I'm not alright.
'Please take me from here, or I will die.'
.
"What happened? You look troubled? Is it Falak again?", My best friend asked, reading my restless expression. I showed him the message, and he furrowed his eyebrow. Just like me, even he hated how everyone treated her like trash.
"Let me talk with my father.", He said. "I'm sure he can help in this situation, but…
"But my father will also come to know about it, isn't it?"
"Yes!"
"Just talk with your father. I will deal with my father later.", I muttered, knowing my father was going to be super-duper mad after learning that I involved myself in a matter of a girl, not only that I involved myself in the mafia.
****
My father was tapping his finger on the table, and I was standing like a scared cat in front of him. I might be a daring teenager, but I was afraid of my father.
"Are you going to speak?"
"I…I don't know what to say, Dad.", I whispered in a low tone.
"Two people are found dead in that girl's house, Son. What were you thinking before doing something like that?", He exclaimed, on which I focused my eyes on the concentre below my shoes. "You involved yourself in those things which I hate the most, girl and Mafia."
'I know, dad.', I mentally said but didn't say anything.
"You are going to stay away from that girl. I'm sending you away from here."
"But...
"I don't want to hear a thing from you. You might have saved that girl from hell as for now, but if I want, then I can send her back to that hell or worst. And trust me, you won't be able to stop me from doing so." I knew I had to listen and agree with his orders because I wasn't in the position to fight back.
But one day, dad. One day when I would fight with you for her. I promise.
"In return, you will keep her safe, right?" I asked hopefully.
"In return, I will send her away from present hell. But I'm not going to look after her. She will have to face and handle everything in her life on her own.", He countered back.
Though I wasn't satisfied with his statement, I had to agree with it.
Because it was not that bad, right?
She was a tough and strong girl. I was sure that she would be able to survive alone.
At least for a few couples of years.
"Okay!"
***
"How's she?" I asked my best friend.
"She will need at least a month or two to get back in her shape. She has broken ribs, bruises all over her stomach and body, and not to forget, her vocal code has also been damaged. She also had surgery for internal bleeding."
"You're doing no good to me by giving me so much detail.", I hissed though deep down, I wanted to know each and every detail of my girl.
"What did your dad say?"
"As expected to say away from her.", I muttered, rubbing my forehead. "And I will have to do that whether I like it or not!"
"Well, you were already prepared for it, weren't you?"
"I was, but never did I think that I would have to leave her this soon. I started to finish my school, high school, college, everything with her without her knowledge."
"Stop overthinking and smile because I'm coming with you.", he said and kept his hand around my shoulder. "Let go and pack our bags.", He added.
No matter how much I wanted to be mad at him. I couldn't.
Because today he helped me by saving my girl's life, and I knew I would be forever indebted to him after this incident.
'Senorita, we will meet soon.'

Falak’s POV.Ten years later!!.“You bitch”“Mom, dad,”“Do you really think that they are your parents? The person whom you consider as your father is actually your kidnapper, who kidnapped you when you were off just a few hours from your parents.”.Immediately I opened my eyes and looked around in fear. I was sweating badly and breathing heavily to fill my lungs with oxygen.‘It was again a dream.’, I thought and wiped my swe
Falak’s POV.“By the way, Dad asked me to give you this.”, Jacob said and forwarded an envelope toward Father Gregory. “And there’s one more cheque from my end as well.”, He added.“Thank you so much, child.”Jacob nodded, and after giving one last look at me, he left my room. I wanted to run after him and request him not to say anything to Lance, but I couldn’t move an inch for a while.“I hope you don’t mind him coming to your room, Falak. He had taken my permission before coming here.”“No issue, Father.”, I responded, and the moment he left my room. I ran
Falak's POV."Sooooo?" Ashley asked curiously when I couldn't take off my eyes from that note for a while. I tore my concentration from that note and looked at her. "Who's he?", She asked again, raising her brow.I didn't say anything for a while because I was battling in my mind whether, to tell the truth or not?If yes, then how much?"Helloooo? Dreaming about your boyfriend already?", She asked."He's not my boyfriend.", I responded."Then? Who's he? And what does he mean by mentioning that 'It has been ten years since I bought something for you. I hope you would
Falak's POV . Albert untied my hand and removed that piece of shit from my eyes before dropping me at the orphanage. "Thank you.", I said genuinely because a part of me was also scared because of the thought that what if that mysterious lover didn't take my rejection like a gentleman. "I wish even I could say the same.", He muttered in a tone that was loud enough so that I could hear it clearly. I wanted to ask why he said so, but then I didn't have the right to ask him this question, right? "Good night, Albert.", I said, on which he looked surprised. "Good night, Ma'am.", He responded before closing the door of the car. And soon, the car moved away from there. Once the car disappeared from my si
Falak’s POV . Jacob’s eyes followed where Ashley was looking and then stopped at me. I gave a nervous smile, but he didn’t acknowledge it back and stormed toward the cabin. Wow! What a great start to the day! “From when bosses started arriving at the office this early?” Ashley exclaimed. “I’m so dead.”, I muttered in tension. “Yea! He’s such a good-looking greek god that any girl would be ready to die to him.”, She joked, on which she earned a glare from me. “Okay, sorry!”, She muttered. “By the way, I think he already knew that you’re his personal assistant, and he knowingly told those mean things to me so that you can listen to him.”
Falak’s POV.I looked at everyone’s faces when the presentation was over. I was confident that I had done well and was expecting to hear some good responses but the moment that devil opened his mouth. His words broke my heart.“There are many errors in the report. So, this needs more work. So, fix it and present this to me tomorrow. Once I will confirm it, then we will share the final report with everyone.”, Jacob said in a harsh tone when I realized that I was waiting for their opinion, especially his; after all, he was my reporting manager. Immediately the smile which had been on my lips till seconds before left, and I nodded my head in an understanding way.He could have said the same in a polite way.
Falak's POV.After finishing my lunch, I returned back to my desk to get back to my work. I tried to work on the reports, but one after another, new work came up because of which I couldn't.So, in the end, I decided to do this at the orphanage and handle today's work as the top priority. Because I was scared that I might end up mixing both the work if I tried to act multi-tasking staff, which I was not.***"Let's go?" Ashley said, showing me the time."I will be staying here for a while.", I said, showing her the file. She nodded in understanding."Fine! Text me when you're home."
Falak’s POV.‘I shook my head vigorously and slapped at his hand. And was about to scream when he placed his palm over my mouth.“Don’t you know that Daddy hates bad baby girl, huh?”, He said, coming dangerously close to me.“Mmmmm” I tried to call for my mother, but I couldn’t. He started touching me in an improper way. All I could do was cry and be scared of this monster.“Oh, you have a phone now! I didn’t remember my sister mentioning anything about it!”, He said, taking the phone from his other hand. I tried to fight back but failed miserably. After all, I was just thirteen years old; that
Falak's POV . "Aren't you going to leave?" Ash asked when I was hitting the keyboard as fast as I could. "I will be staying for a while.", I responded and then looked at her. "Remember, Saira was looking for a job here?" "Yep!" "I was thinking about discussing it with HIM. That's why, after finishing my work, I will be spending some time with him." "You could have directly said NO instead of explaining all those things, you know," She teased, on which she earned a glare from me. "Fine! Fine! I'm leaving, and don't forget to text me once you're home."
Falak's POV.A whole week passed, and I didn't hear anything about HIM from him or Jacob. I sometimes looked at Jacob helplessly, but his answer was still the same: 'he was not the right person to answer my question.' Only God knew how stressed I was in the recent days with the thought that what if…what if Klaus would change his mind in these days and would be planning to stay with Angela all his life.That mere thought made me feel heartbroken.It was not that I would blame him for anything because he could be leaving me to fulfill his responsibilities, so a part of me wanted to hit him for breaking all his promises which he did to me.But what if he would have other reasons to shut
Falak's POV.I was expecting to see Klaus at the airport when I landed in Melbourne along with Mom, Ashley, and Saira but was disappointed to see Maria.But somehow, I consoled my heart to not feel bad."Maria, please take the car to Ashley's house first.", I said after settling in the car."I was going to ask the same.", She responded, buckling the seat belt."By the way, why didn't you come to receive us? Where's Albert?" I asked indirectly, even though I knew Albert would be with HIM."Actually, he is with Sir in Sydney. Something came to them at the last moment. So, we changed the plan at t
Falak's POV . "No, Dad," I screamed loudly because I really thought that he would kill Lance for saying something so stupid, but all of a sudden, Uncle came between Lance and dad. I didn't see him reaching near Lance! It might be because I was so engrossed in all the other things that I didn't notice that. "Step aside, Vyom," Dad roared angrily. But Uncle didn't move an inch. Dad glared at him, but he stayed in his position, unaffected by dad's angry glare. I was praying to god that because of this incident, they wouldn't raise their hand to each other. That would be the last thing in the world that I wanted to happen because if that happened, then the r
Falak's POV.Camella and Kush went on their honeymoon on the evening flight. At the same time, Dad and Mayan were nowhere to be found. I knew dad could be near Lance, but where was Mayan?I found Uncle Vyom free after the newly wedded couple left for the honeymoon. He was doing something on his phone when I approached him."Uncle""Yes, princess.", He answered, locking his phone and sliding it into his pocket."Do you know where Lance is? I want to meet him.""Why do you want to meet him?", He asked, raising his brow."Just to see how he is doing
Falak’s POV.Next morning!I reached near my dad to share everything with him instead of playing James Bond on my own. I meant I could have kept this new to myself but then…I wasn’t not experienced as much as he was. On the top, I was not irritating him because I needed some stupid doll or something. This matter could be serious as well.“From when you’re feeling like this? I mean, like you are being watched?” Dad asked.“Since last morning.”“Then why didn’t you tell me about it yesterday itself? A lot of things could have happened in the last 24 hours?”, He asked, his jaw clenched. I lowered my head, not knowing what to say? If I would say that I felt like Klaus was keeping an eye on me, then he might have gotten more pissed than he was already!“Don’t get angry with her, Aarvik. She might have thought that she would be overthinking or something.”, Vyom Uncle interrupted, trying to calm down my dad. “So, better we check the CCTV area rather than discussing wh
Falak's POV.After a few hours!!'I will be leaving in an hour or so, are you going to spend some time with me or not? If not, then just let me know; I can leave right now.' I read Klaus's message, and my eyes widened in the realization that I had forgotten that fact.Shit!Shit!I turned toward him and found him getting irritated. Jacob and Angela had already gone back to their room to rest because they were getting bored, and I could say that Klaus was feeling the same after all; it was not his wedding. On top of this, because of this wedding, he was not getting a chance to spend time with me.'Sorry. Let's meet on the terrace.', I texted him. I knew how mad he would be, but he would leave any chance to spend time with me.I whispered in Saira's ear that where I was leaving so that all of a sudden, everyone wouldn't start a search mission."Enjoy your time but don't do something naughty with hotty.", She winked."Saira! He h
Falak's POV . When everyone saw Klaus's injuries the following day, they started answering numerous types of questions related to this! But thankfully, Mayan took responsibility for it, stating that his protective brother turned on him when he found Klaus too close to me. I couldn't say about the others, but I was sure that Dad would have guessed the real reason behind Klaus's damaged face. Since it was the wedding day, there was a lot of work to do and check all the arrangements. That's why I was running here and there with some or the other work, and Ashley was helping me as my right hand. "Your Lover is calling you again.", Ashley commented on who had held my phone. Because my hands
Falak's POV.While my brothers were looking at me, Klaus was glaring at them. I didn't see him getting angry when they were hitting me, but the moment I was going to get hurt, his demeanor changed immediately. I didn't know how to calm him because he was not leaving Kush's hand."Please…No!!" I whispered. He jerked Kush's hand, but his anger was not leaving his side."I'm sorry, Falak. I didn't mean to hurt you." Kush apologized and looked at me in concern."And you didn't.", I said and gave him a small smile. "But…you should have talked before raising your hands on Klaus.", I expressed my disappointment, shaking my head."But.." Mayan started s
