Neil's Point Of View:°°°I sat looking out of the large window in my cabin. Still soaking the truth. It had been a week since the incident. It had really been a long one.. for both me and Akansha. Nesha had been released from the hospital.I sighed."Neil–", it was Akansha."Hmm.", I said not turning towards her. In office we were strictly professional."We're opening a branch of Imperium in Singapore and someone has to go and see that the work is done. ", She said in a business - like tone. I stood still looking out as something just came over me.I turned towards her. She was in her favorite white shirt with a pencil skirt with red lipstick. She looked gorgeous enough to make anyone feel weak on their knees. I was tired of this revenge thing. It was too stressful and I needed a break.A permanent break.She was right, it was not get fault alone. I had been the brat and then I expected her to trust me. I walked up to her as she looked straight into my eyes. She had a piercing loo
Akansha's Point Of View°°°I sat signing papers of different company sanctions and sending emails to different people. Neil had turned away and gone. When ever I thought of it my heart ached. Tears iched my eyes but somehow I managed to control them. And then there was Nesha to who I had to lie, that her dad had gone for only a few days. There was a lump in my throat.Why was it so difficult?Why couldn't we be together? Why?Now I wanted him to be and he managed to leave me and go again. Does he not understand how much I need him?I sat silently as I stopped my work. I shut my eyes in pain when suddenly there was a hurried knock at the door."Come in.", I said completely tired."Ma'am–", it was an employee, most probably the person who Neil had asked to get his tickets ready."Yes?", I asked trying to sound normal."Ma'am, Mr. Parker–", his voice broke away as if he was about to give some bad news. I immediately sat up and asked,"Yes.. what about him?", I asked unsure of whether I
Akansha's Point Of View°°°"Leave me alone!", I said irritably."Akansha?", It was the voice I so longed to hear.I turned to find him standing with a puzzled expression."You're okay? You look like–", I pressed my lips on his without thinking twice. Just to make sure it was him. He did not move away, he just stood still, half - shocked, half - amazed. I pulled away after a while.He looked like he was in a daze. I did not care if he actually was.I hugged him tightly, as if my life depended on him.Neil's Point Of View°°°I stood still as she hugged me tightly, crying uncontrollably."Sshh..", I whispered wrapping my hands around her and resting my head in her shoulder."You are such an a pig!", She said still not leaving me."Okay, for now I'm forgiving you but don't call me that again..", I said as she hugged me tightly."I hate you!", She screamed at me."Yeah, great, but I don't want tomorrow's headline on the newspaper be 'Split in the Parkers at the Airport'.", I said smir
Neil's Point Of View°°°Akansha sat quietly as I gave her an unsure look and started,"Look, after you you know put me in jail..", her expression turned into an unpleasant one as I placed my hand on hers and continued,"Anyways, so after I was released I had nowhere to go and as you know my ego couldn't have allowed me to return to you, so I was you know walking around on the Howrah Bridge, with no purpose. It was a warm evening and I was just looking down at the Ganges. That is when I suddenly noticed this woman running towards me at full speed. She was approximately twenty eight, as she immediately cluched onto my hand."Please save me.. they are coming behind me!", She said crying.I nodded and turned in front to find two men who ran upto me."Leave her and go! It's our business!", They were tall and looked like goons."Yeah, but she's not interested in coming with you guys.", I stated as the woman went and stood behind me, hiding away from them."Ay! Stop being a Hero, move!", On
Neil's Point Of View°°°I paused relieving the memory."Neil, continue.", Akansha said bringing me out of my trance. I nodded and continued,"Anyways, he took me to his palace like mansion. You know he reminded me of this one villian from a certain T.V. soap I had been watching.. I can't recall..""Shut up with nonsense and continue!", Akansha said. Obviously I did not want to tell her what happened after that but there was definitely no other choice. She was Akansha Goenka. I signed and continued,"Never mind, he gave me a nice cozy room to stay in and all the amenities that a celebrity should get, but the point was even if I thought I was a celebrity, in truth I was not. Nevertheless this great thought did not cross my mind then. Next morning I was bathing in peace when suddenly the bathroom door opened. Thankfully I was wearing my boxers and standing under the shower. Sarah walked in and looked at me as if extremely amused."I think I deserve some privacy, miss.", I said immedia
Neil's Point Of View°°°"I stared at him in shock. "How?", I asked in a soft whisper."That is something we will talk about sometime later. Now, you should be bothered about what to do.", He said with a smirk."So, my Britisher slave, how does it feel to finally be under an Indian's rule?", He asked, smirking."Wait, don't tell me, you are some reincarnation of some freedom fighter, here to take revenge. If that's the case, dude it wasn't me.. it was other dead guys.", He started laughing."Oh, you thought we were shooting a daily soap?", He went back to his demonic laughter, like I had cracked the joke of the century."Anyways..", he said getting back to normal, "You have to murder your parents with this gun."I froze. He said it like he wanted me to bring one kilogram of potatoes for him from the market. "Excuse me, what?!", I asked, regaining my voice."Yes.", He said coldly turning away."I won't!", I shot back at him."Then you'll die.", He said simply taking a gun from his bo
Neil's Point Of View°°°I continued,“I stood still gulping nervously. I had not expected that one. He looked at me with an unpleasant smile."So, what do you expect now, Mr. Parker?", He asked holding me up by my face. "Peace.", I whispered as he left my face."That's actually optimistic, sir, but just to inform you.. I am not that good. You got my son killed, and now I will get you. In fact I wanted to kill your parents but they were damn lucky.", He said turning his back to me."Nevermind, I'll kill you and feel better. How does that sound?", He said smirking."Sir, what do we do with him?", The man holding me up asked."Take him to the basement and kill him.", Mr. Basu said as I was pulled backwards and pushed into the dark basement. I felt weak and powerless as I struggled to sit up. "Let him be here for a while. I'll get the gun by that time.", One of the men said and left. I struggled to get up. Just then someone walked in."Ma'am, why are–""Leave.", It was Sarah's voice.
Neil's Point Of View°°°My blood went cold as I immediately released Akansha and stood up. I immediately rushed to the door and opened it. There was silence. Deadly silence."Nesha? You're there?", I asked softly.No reply. My heart was thumping madly in my chest. "Nesha! This is not funny, stop pranking us!", It was Akansha, she was as anxious as me, or maybe more.No reply."You check in that room Neil while I check the drawing room.", She said pointing towards Nesha's room. I immediately opened the door and stepped in. It was dark but I suddenly felt her hands wrap around my waist. I heaved a sigh of relief. I knelt in front of her."What happened?", I asked, softly."There is someone in your room.", She said as I turned immediately.Akansha was about to open the door. "Akansha!", I called out instantaneously.She stopped and ran back here. Her eyes were welling with tears as she immediately hugged Nesha."Where was she?", Akansha asked as I stood up."Mom, I was hiding here,
Neil's Point Of View :For moments silence hung.I was expecting the death reaper to finally show up.But nothing of that sort happened. No death reapers.And then, I heard another gun shot through the deafening heart beat of mine.Akanksha held Rehan's arm tightly, upwards. Two bullets had pierced through my Mercedez, out of the car. The man with a gun on my chest was just about to change his position when I caught hold of his wrist. I immediately twisted it with all my might. I heard him groan. Snatching the gun from him and shot him instantly. I pointed it at Rehan's temple then. "Looks like the tables have turned, bestie.", I said feeling a huge amount of relief.I heard him clench his jaws, annoyed at the turn of events.He released the gun he held as it fell on the floor of the car."Parker, you have no idea about the trouble you are inviting.", He stated coldly."Don't give me a lecture about my well being, buddy. I am doing just fine killing you off.", I said as he held his
Neil's Point Of View : All three of us sat down at our table. Ready to enjoy. Akanksha looked at absolute peace. She was happier than ever. I knew it.We sat back and ordered food.I pulled out my phone to check some mails while Akanksha busied herself with Nesha, asking her about her homework and teachers.Leaving the underworld was not as easy as it had seemed. Although I had not mentioned that to Akanksha yet. If she knew the depth of the situation she would probably panic - and I did not want that to happen anymore. Raghu had been sending me updates about Rehan.Rehan was my rival. When the whole mafia dealing had started with Basu, I had been introduced to several aspects of the underworld. One of them was definitely the rivalry. Rehan was from another gang ready to do everything possible under the sun just to get me dead. And to get that threat off even if you walked out of the Mafia-Verse was impossible.I forced a smile and sipped on my mojito. Nesha was talking about some
Akanksha's Point of View :Almost a week passed by, without much chaos.I had returned to my post as the CEO of my company and Neil had promised to quit all his illegal business and switch completely to the legal bit.Raghu and Sarah had of course kept to their underworld affair. Dad had returned to London.And, Nesha had finally gone back to school, much to my mental peace.I sat back on my recliner. The evening was setting in outside the large french windows of my office.What a mess our lives had been for the last few years! I shut my eyes, drawing in a deep breath when my phone buzzed. I picked it up from the desk without even checking the name."Hmm?""How is my McQueen doing?", It was him, asking in the most Neil like tone possible."Your McQueen is chilling, McDumbo.", I said grinning as I spoke."Nesha is back home by now.. right?", He asked.I looked at the wall clock of the cabin."Yes.. obviously. She reached home three hours back.", I said sitting up."Is everything okay,
Akansha's Point Of ViewNeil immediately became alert at the sound."I'll check.", Raghu said as he walked out of the room slowly.Neil immediately lifted Nesha in his arms and looked around for a way to escape.There was none.I gulped nervously as I stood up.Raghu returned after a while grinning."What happened man?", Neil asked."Tony Stark, it's your acquaintance.", He said as Neil raised his brow."Neil Parker.", I instantly knew the voice as I froze.Nesha looked at me in confusion.The man who walked in was smiling, immediately his smile gave way to a shocked expression."Dad..", I mumbled nervously."Akansha.", His voice was steady.I looked at Neil.He was smiling at me.My dad looked down at Nesha who was giving her signature confused look that she had inherited from Neil."Now who are you?", She sounded almost annoyed as she crossed her hands in front of her, eyeing Dad.Dad looked back at Neil who was standing and looking around knowing everything.Sarah signalled Raghu a
Akansha's Point Of View°°°We had finally reached a farm house kind of a place. Neil pulled me in with him. He was bleeding profusely and so was I but that did not matter more than saving our lives.We barged into the house as Neil immediately shut the door behind us. "Bring Mommy!", I knew exactly who was it. There was a thump of something being thrown onto the floor."You daughter is just like you.", Neil said tapping my shoulder.I looked at him with narrowed eyes."She's your daughter too.", I said as he smirked.Our eyes locked.His eyes were numb, there was silence but he spoke so much through his eyes.We stared, as if time had stopped.There was another loud thump.We immediately snapped out of the trance."I guess we should go otherwise she's gonna wreck the whole house.", He said as I nodded, holding his hand."Someone's being too romantic.", He said as we started walking towards the room.I looked at Neil and smiled.Something never change."Nesha.. look listen—""I want
Akansha's Point Of View••I stepped back into the building to find Raghu running out."Akansha? Come on.. I'll have to—""Where's Neil?", I asked."He.. he's okay. He's told me to take you.", He said as if unsure.I knew he was lying.I gulped."Take Nesha and leave.", I said."But—""Just do what I say.", This was a command. He was taken aback for a moment as he immediately nodded and walked down to the car.I looked down at the ground once."Tell her that I'll bring her Neil back.", I turned and told Raghu.He nodded."I will.", He said with a pained smile."Take care, Akansha.", He said before turning back to the car.I immediately ran back into the building."And you thought you'll get out of this Neil?", The man spoke as I froze. I shut my eyes.He was caught.No Akansha.. you can't give up...I immediately rushed to the door, soundlessly. Tip toeing.I stood by the door to find Neil look up at Rehan hatefully. He was tied to the same chair where Nesha had been sitting. "You
I ran back home.I had to reach them on time.Akansha's Point Of View°°°I slowly opened my eyes. My hands and mouth was tied. It had been quite sudden. After Neil had left two men had suddenly entered the house using a window. I had no idea how that happened but whatever it was I was scared. I tried to throw something at them but it was to no avail. Someone had used chloroform from behind.My head ached."Do you really think Parker will come?", One man asked another.It was a dark and damp room. I was sitting on the floor."He will. I know him. He's one emotional fool.", The other man replied.I looked around.These two men stood exactly in front of me. Their backs towards me."I want a chocolate!"I froze.It was Nesha's voice. I started struggling, trying to free myself. They had my daughter here!"Get this kid a chocolate.", The man who had spoken second said."But—""Do it.", The man said coldly."So, tell me, what's your name?""Nesha Goenka Parker.", Nesha replied as I struggl
"Neil.. wake up.", Akansha whispered. I could feel her breath on my bare chest."I don't want to.", I replied turning away digging my face inside another pillow beside me. She slapped me on my shoulder."Get up.", She said giggling.I looked down at her. "You look like an angel, did I ever mention that?", I asked with a smile."Complements won't help. Get up. I'm sure you wouldn't want me to remove this blanket when the door is open. You know your daughter.", She said giggling. It seemed like she was laughing from within.I smiled at her."Wear you clothes, Mr. Parker and then kindly shut the door so that I can wear mine. Your clothes are beside you.", She said as I sighed."You know I'm still you boss.""At work, sir. The whole world knows that the wife rules in the house.", She said sliding up to my face. Her hair fell beside my face."You know I was not lying when I said you looked like an angel.", I said, brushing her brown hair softly."I know.", She whispered before kissing m
Akansha moved away. It was instantaneous and I had well expected it. "You are what?", This time her whisper was that of unsurity. "I'm a Mafia. A Gangster.", I turned towards her and said."Neil, but what about Imperium? What-what is it then?", She asked, almost pleading that I should say that I'm lying."It is, what you call a way, to hide my actual occupation.", I replied, I could see the disbelief in her eyes.The King of The Underworld was nothing to be proud of. Especially if that man was your husband. "You–you killed all those people?", She asked softly.I nodded, feeling guilt surge through my being."How could you, Neil? How–""I told you that you shouldn't know it–""Shut up!", She screamed standing up."You are a freaking murderer, assasin, drug addict, terrorist, everything! And you sir, are telling me that I shouldn't know it!", She was shouting by this time."I'm.. I'm sorry..", I whispered under my breath."No! Wait, you think I shouldn't know that the man I live with
