It was raining hard when Sakshi arrived home, and the short distance between the garage and the main building had caused the rainwater to run down her body.

She tried to be cheerful as she came in. Kapil stood by the door, a sly smile on his face. She hugged him and moved inside. A maid followed behind with her bag.

"How did it go?" Kapil asked after she greeted her parents and got a water bottle from which to drink.

"It was stressful but worth it." She forced a smile. "I need to rest, and I'll be out soon."

She had a long shower, during which she reminisced about her journey. She cherished every moment of it, and she yearned for another opportunity of that sort. As she lay in bed trying to get some sleep, she rolled her eyes as she felt pressure on the bed. Kapil had joined her.

    Pleasing Preshant was never a big deal. She just had to hop on top and ride, he came quickly, and that was because she was good at what she did, not what someone else may think. Although maybe that contributed, it didn't matter. So long as he gave her what she wanted, she would stick around and give him what he wanted, the relationship was mutual, and everyone was fine. She came off him and rolled to her side of the bed as he came through, clearly satisfied with the journey they had been through.He turned to give her a knowing smile. "You are naughty." He saidHer laugh was loud but not from her heart. "I will be cooking your favorite today." She said and watched as his face lit even more."You've always been the best." He said, and she laughed some more. He coughed lightly and grabbed his glasses by the bed stand. "When did you say you are making the journey for your shopping?She blinked as she sat up. "Yes, that's right. I'll be meeting with some designers to go through what they

    Driving uptown to work, Sakshi grinned sheepishly. With Kapil and Ritu out of town, she didn’t need to check her back while she had fun; she had packed a few bags and planned to move to Sunil’s place after work. She would stay there for a few days. She knew her dad was barely around, so he wouldn’t notice.She bobbed her head to Mile Ho Tum by Neha Kakkar as she turned the bend to the street just by her workplace. It was a busy day, and there was a lot of work to be done, but all she could think about was Sunil shoving himself inside her. Ritu was about to begin her business full-time, and Sakshi couldn’t wait for her to be entirely out of the house so there would be no one to care about her whereabouts and what she did and didn't do.The future looked bright, and she hoped it would keep up that way. She swerved into the parking lot and waved happily to the gateman, who slightly frowned as he gestured to her to reduce the volume of her music. She rolled her eyes and yelled an insincere

    They turned the plane into a bit of a playground, and it had been hard to swallow her moans, so she bit hard on his shoulders so much that the ache was unbearable, and for the rest of the flight, he had left her wanting more. They had to be careful, though. She knew any mistake of getting caught would cause a scandal so significant that it could ruin everything they had, so enjoying themselves while applying intelligence was an essential criterion in succeeding in whatever they've been doing.Dinner was simple; she loved eating light in the evening, but she went extra light today because of what was to come later. As the guards all retired to their floors, she took a quick shower and changed into a thin film gown she had bought specially for the occasion. It was red, and her underwear could be seen through the dress. It was red and was everything a man would want to see after a stressful day.When she heard the doorknob turn, she got to her feet and waited while he locked it, double-ch

She was not going to lose her source of peace and joy just as soon as he came, and while Kapil tried to use the negotiation approach and convince Sunil, they just came to warn, and Ritu was not taking chances. Despite Kapil’s advice to stay still, she charged at him fiercely, and what followed was something no one could explain, but when the trigger went off, there was one person on the floor coated with blood. The remaining two stood in disbelief, mouths agape, and they didn’t need a medical examiner to confirm there was no life in the body on the floor. That body belonged to Sunil.Speechlessness turned to fret and then finally screams of terror, and Kapil put his hand over her mouth to shut her up. “For God’s sake, Ritu, be quiet.” He held her tight until she went silent and nodded to everything he said.
