"..." Her back was facing the gate. Although she heard his identity loud and clear, she didn't turn her back to face that man. Unknown with the reason she felt danger. The feeling she felt was inexplicable and had no meaning but had a sense of fear. Finding herself and about her feeling absurd she rolled her eyes and spoke. "Mr. Smith... I sure remember you... Let them in, guys." She said to the bodyguards sent by Roy. In front of her eyes, the old man walked around her before taking his seat in front of her. Before Serene could even take a quick look at that old man, Riya from her back, suddenly came and stood beside the table. "Serene. Please, believe me, I didn't try to go against you. No matter what, I can't ignore his orders." She desperately said.Riya's eyes were honestly begging for Serene's forgiveness. This morning her grandfather ordered her to call Serene to make an arrangement with her. When he got to know about the fact that she did not even save Serene's number,
"Revenge? No Mr. Simon. It wasn't a revenge. It was more like a punishment to you for not educating your granddaughter properly. And to your company for having a heiress like her." Serene replied with an eye roll.Not for once did she ever thought about avenging herself. All this time, all she had in her mind was to punish Riya's family. Having money and power it comes responsibility too. It's only right for them to be punish for spoiling their child and then that child is making problems in others families and to other kids. It's just a punishment.Karan starred at the girl. His experienced eyes can easily judge right from wrong. In Serene's eyes there was not a cent of anger or awkwardness of lying. She was saying truth and mean her every words.He was surprised to see her not loathing him or Riya or to the situation they are in at all. Her back was straight and know it's roots. She wasn't scared a bit. What she said is what she meant, and she was standing on it confidently. Her su
"Do you know who I am?" Karan asked"Have you sent your granddaughter out for this?" She asked back."Just answer me, Serene. Do you know?""Mr. Simon. You are ex- CEO of Simon enterprises. Do you like to blow your own trumpet?" Serene tiredly answered."No. But i was expecting more. Kinda disappointed now." Karan replied with his discontent look. He didn't expect that the girl would know nothing about her own truth."Is there something more that I need to know? Why don't you tell me on your own? Why play this game and waste my time?""Okay so you tell me Miss Serene, do you know why your brother and your boyfriend are so much against me? Or do you know why you and your brother has invested in every major company but not in Simon's?""Amm because you guys aren't worthy of us to have any shares of yours?""You really think so? I highly doubt it. Because as much as i remember that you actually bought one percent shares of my company. But because your brother didn't want you to do so, yo
Coming out of the door Serene straight walked towards Roy's car. Sitting on the shotgun seat she spoke. "I want to be alone somewhere for a while. Do you know any such place."Serene's eyes and her behaviour right away told Roy that something was wrong. Understandably he didn't try to disturb her with questions, he just nodded and drove off.Roy worriedly kept checking on her from time to time. But even after half an hour Serene spoke nothing.Roy kept on driving and she kept on looking outside the window. After another ten minutes her phone rang.The ring instantly broke her stupor. Her body shook with the sudden sound. By this action Roy instantly knew that something major had happened. He never saw Serene this way. She looked very weak as if she was dying. He wanted to call Soham or Harry, but in front of her he couldn't. He drove to the lake side but Serene didn't get off. Roy had to call others but he didn't want to leave Serene alone.When her phone rang again she disconnected
Serene hurriedly walked towards the building elevator. Following her, Victor was also coming.Inside her mind lot's of things were running. Earlier she denied Soham just to make him feel guilty while he attended the dinner with HSH. And once he was in the middle of him feeling guilty she would come in front of him as his surprise. But again, nothing worked out.In a minute their elevator finally reached the 7th floor. Victor swiftly took the lead and showed Serene the way towards the meeting hall. Once Serene actually reached the hall gate, she stopped and took a deep breath before opening the door.'Slam!' Serene opened the door with full force....a minute ago"Sir do you really think we should do this?" One of the directors from Orion company spoke hesitantly.When other directors saw their finance department head coming forefront to give his advice, they also got courage to speak up too. "Sir no matter what but i don't think this solution is good for Orion." Though Soham is way
"Last time I had to jump out of a window to save my ass. And today you almost sued me for asking you on a date!" Serene frustratedly said."Ahh my life. I planned all this for a month and this is what I got in return. Hmph! My fortune definitely sucks! Why does it never go with my plan!" Looking at Soham's eyes so close she didn't mind before dramatically saying it loud."So you are saying that it's all my fault?" Soham speechlessly looked at her. Where everything was done by her, should he be blamed for that?But hearing her words he finally realised from when Serene knew about his identity. At his one year anniversary party, Victor had told him that his CEO is attending this party with a disguise. And then Serene was adamant that she didn't drink and drive particularly because she actually never did. Finally he got what actually happened."Not everything but 99% yeah..." Serene said without batting her eyes. Soham drily laughed and rolled his eyes. Seeing no ounce of her realising
"I... Whatever..." Serene shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly. And left his embrace before taking her seat back to the table.People around them were dumbstruck by their relationship revelation. Fiance? Aren't they too young for that? But then again comparing it to the maturity level they are way level ahead than their age kids. However the thought of HSH and Orion having a martial bond is something which not just excites them but also makes them feel relieved. Combining both shares from Serene and Soham it already gets around 85. Soham is known for taking risks in just a year, having a shareholder as his fiance and how HSH trusted Orion once, people from Orion were relieved that in their company, the clash of opinion will be least."Come we should go back." Soham said. He stood in front of her and beckoned her to hug his waist by her legs. Serene was about to do that when Harry from the other side of the table stood up and said. "Why is she going with you? She will come back with m
"That i have a secret boyfriend. And I am eloping with him the next day. Wanna join us? It will be fun..." Serene replied."Do you want me to kiss you right in front of everyone? Believe me I badly want to." Soham said. He meant it when he said that he wanted to. When he entered the restaurant he noticed every man's attention on his girl. Even after he took his seat in front of Serene those men were still eyeing his girl as a predator and this made his blood boil in anger. Everyone loves the beauty outside but when it's come to accept the beauty from inside no one wants to do it wholeheartedly. And this kind of person is worse in character and Soham didn't want these people to even like his Serene or it would be an insult to her. He wanted to kiss Serene to tell everyone his relation with Serene. He always wanted to show off his relation with Serene to everyone to let them know their place and won't dare to court his woman.Serene instantly backed off by Soham's warning. His eyes we
"After an hour, those who haven't followed our rule, will be followed by our lawyer and his rule in court. Get that?"The second Harry finished his sentence all people around the court took out their phone from their pockets in hurry. Not wasting time, they logged in to their account to delete their comments and articles."This is bullying! How can you do that just because we expressed our views!" One of the boys from the group voiced out arrogantly."Harry, how can you do that to us just because of a few random or childish comments!""He can't! I'll call my dad!!" One by one students started speaking up their mind.'Scoff' Harry rolled his eyes with disgust. Giving a smirk to the girl who spoke at last, he walked slowly before speaking. "Well I think you must not have heard about my sister yet. You really think that you stand a chance in front of her even? You know what bullying is? Let me add one thing then." "Whoever posted an article, means article, accusing my sister's characte
"WOW!!!" Serene groaned loudly. She finds it way more idiotic that they all are blaming her just because of one single picture. She wanted to slap those mouths but also didn't want her hands to get dirty."You did not bother to ask me once but were too busy to blame me at once! Huh!!" Serene yelled.The girls surrounding her got a little baffled with her question and comment. It's true. Once they decide to blame someone because of jealousy, they don't care about the facts and truth, they only believe in what they want to.-Ignoring the fight between Serene and others, one of the students out of the crowd said worriedly. "Hey first someone stop Soham and Harry or they will kill them!" While Serene was fighting verbally with other female students, Harry and Soham didn't stop themselves from hitting those faces like their own punching bag.-"Then you tell us what is going on right away!" One of the girls shouted from the crowd to Serene's comment."Why would I tell you my personal thi
After hearing that, Manager instantly knew what Serene meant to do. Pointing his finger to Riya, he said in an aggrieved manner. "NO!! Please. Don't do anything to me. I was ordered by that bitch. She wanted us to rape you and make video of it. She came to us. It wasn't us. Please forgive me. Please don't do anything to me."Riya's eyes widened. She isn't afraid of consequences but at that moment she was very much afraid of Serene's punch. She was scared of that pain which those bulky men suffered. Being embarrassed in front of Serene, she felt ashamed. "You bastard! How dare you act like this against me. She might punish you today, but I can punish you for the rest of your life!" Riya shouted in anger and in shame too.Manager got a little scared of the situation. Though he misjudged Serene initially, but, he was sure that he didn't misjudge Riya. He could tell that Riya does hold power in her hands. She paid them in advance without blinking her eyes. He feared offending any big pow
"Even after all this time you actually think that he would take your side? Idiot." Saying that Serene gave another slap."Soham! Help me. She would disfigure me!!" Riya called for help again.On the other hand, once Soham heard all the sounds of slapping and crying, he felt a little annoyed. Without looking up from his phone he asked. "Are you done?" "Huh?" For a second Riya forgot all the pain caused by Serene. With widened but teary eyes, she looked at Soham.Till now Riya's attention was more on Serene and didn't notice Soham's reaction to all the view inside the office All managers with their subordinates were lying down and crying in pain. Whereas Serene was holding Riya's hair and pinning her to the wall.Anyone who sees such a thing would be horrified or even a little nervous. But Soham was standing there and looking at his phone and sometimes at Serene as if everything was as simple and clear as water. There was no ounce of sympathy for her anywhere in his eyes. In fact the
"What are you doing?" Serene asked and took her seat beside Soham on bed.Taking the towel from her hand, he started rubbing her hair. While drying her hair, he spoke. "Serene in less than two months we will be engaged. We will be bound to get married, no matter what." His voice wasn't loud or normal but low and intense.Serene turned her body. Facing him face to face, she bent and put her chin on his shoulder. "Why are you scared?" She asked playfully.""Serene do not joke. I am serious." Soham sternly said. The posture they had was making it more comfortable for him to rub her hair.Serene made a face. Scratching his shirt, she asked. "Okay but what do you want me to do then?" "Are you getting what kind of decision you are making? Don't just think about jealousy or possessiveness. It's way more than that my love."Right away looking up from his shoulder, Serene glared at him. "And my love is more than that. Yeah i was scared earlier but because i didn't have any reason to jump our
"Did you tell Serene that Mr. and Mrs. Shetty are very scary and won't accept Serene in their family?""..." "..." Neither Bhumit said anything nor Varun did. They both stayed silent to that question."Speak." Harry said with a threatening tone. Bhumit was still a little firm on not speaking anything but, Varun got scared in milliseconds. Wasting no time Varun answered. "Yes we did. We told Serene that Mr. and Mrs. Shetty won't like her indirectly.""Why?" Harry asked right away confusedly. If it was someone else it would look like that they are seeding a feud between Soham and Serene, but clearly neither Bhumit is that kind of person nor Varun at all... Then why?"Just for fun.""Sorry?" "I started it at first and then made Bhumit to follow. Well we did at first for fun and thought that we can clear out things later. But then we forgot. However I guess she hasn't forgotten about that yet." Varun said the last sentence meekly."You bet. She will never forget that. In fact she is ve
"Count again my love." He said. The mansion was big, and it took a while for them to get inside. On their way all kinds of flower beauties were present like scenery view.Hearing that, Serene pondered for a second. To her side looking at Soham, she answered. "Well. One is for you and one for me then-"Cutting her words off in between Soham spoke. "Who said we are having two different rooms at our new home?" His lips already twitched not with just disagreement but also to his girl's stupid thought.Giving his words another thought, she realised what he meant and want. Serene's mouth gaped. Nodding her head in understanding she looked at the front again before continuing with her plan. "Okay. Let's start again. One big room for us-""-One floor" Soham right away corrected their mansion plan.When he said that he wants to give the best to Serene, he meant it. He isn't good with planning but he is adamant of giving her all what he got. He doesn't even know what is all, but, whatever a co
“Hmm, here.” Kiara took her friend Cathy's card out of her wallet and passed it to the salesgirl.Taking that card from her, the salesgirl swiped it accordingly. However even after swiping it thrice, it didn’t work. With an uncomfortable smile, that girl passed it back to Kiara. “Sorry ma’am but your card isn't working.”“Huh?” Kiara almost explained loudly.“It’s not working madam.”“... try this.” Saying that Kiara passed another card of Cathy’s. But no matter how many time the girl tried it still didn't work. With disappointment she passed the card back to Kiara's hand. "Sorry ma'am."The girl politely said. If it was with any other person, she might felt little annoyed as that person literally wasted lot's of her time, but because it was Kiara, that girl was just disappointed.Earlier when Kiara saved her from those two girls, she was all lightened up. But what excited her the most, was the cart that Kiara filled up and not to forget her commissions. But after being a victim of w
Next day..."Oh! You guys are all back to your lovey dovey scenario?" Harry disapprovingly looked at the couple. He was expecting one or two dramas as a show but in front of him both Serene and Soham were coming downstairs holding each other's hand.Serene proudly smiled. Leaving Soham's hand she held his arm tightly. "Of course. We can't always fight with each other. We already did it a number of times."Soham looked at her with indulgence. Pulling a chair for Serene he beckoned her to take seat.Harry disgustingly looked at them. With a twitch lips he complained. "Hey. She is not a kid.""I am taking your car." Soham said."No bike!" Serene exclaimed. "I want to ride a bike today. Please."Serving her with a sandwich and bun, he shook his head in denial. "No. There's really a thick layer of fine dust today." "Waahhh!!" Serene groaned with frustration. Looking unbelievably at Soham she spoke. "You can always find an unreasonable reason to stop me from whatever I desire.""Then why
