NANDINI"Hello, Mr Malhotta. How are you?"I politely spoke, resting myself on the chair of my office."Who are you? I was told someone from the Rane's have called," Malhotra spoke in a confused tone.I chuckled. It was me who pitched in the idea to Avinash to use the name Rane to talk to Malhotra because he was eager to hand over the project to Kaal and I didn't want that. So, being a part of the Rane family worked for me."Well, I am from the Rane family. Nandini Rane," I calmly replied."What do you want?" He asked.It felt like he was eager to hang up the call, but I was in a mood to play around."Do you know saheb?" I asked him in a freeing tone."Yes. I am indebted to him for his kindness towards my business," he replied.I knew Malhotra's background. If it hadn't been my nanu, he would have gone bankrupt. "Well, I am her granddaughter, Nandu," I informed him."Oh. Nandu. I am so sorry I couldn't recognise you earlier."His tone of speaking changed immediately. I smirked, the c
KIARA"Rudraneel, answer my question," I demanded.Moments after we fucked each other, he was wearing his pants and rushing to go and that frustrated me. I knew it was something urgent, so I needed to know."Something came up," he replied."What came up?" I asked him.I removed my quilt and picked up my panties to wear."Kiara, trust me, it's nothing," he argued."If it would have been nothing, then you would have told me," I basically shouted at him while hooking my bra."Okay fine. It's something related to work, so I have to go," he responded, calming a bit down."Rudraneel, I am your boss at work, so tell me," I demanded.What the fuck is he hiding from me?"Baby, trust me. I will manage it by myself," he muttered, walking towards me and pressing my arms."Ok fine. Then I will go with you," I replied."But...""It's an order," I shouted, interrupting his statement in between."Ok. Get dressed up and let's go," he scoffed.I could notice the frustration in his head. I had to know w
RUDRANEELI was shocked when Kiara pointed the gun at Malhotra's groin. For a minute, I could feel the pain in my pants but I controlled my expressions and looked at her.The way she used it, it was much more dangerous than death and something that I would have never thought of."No! Please! Don't shoot. Please! I won't hand over the deal to Nandini," Malhotra cried out.I was pretty much impressed, Malhotra turned sides in less than a second."So, whom will you hand it over?" Kiara questioned, her face was pretty serious but at that moment, I wanted to laugh. I would have brought her here in the first place, I overthought the shit out of it earlier."You... I mean, Kaal. The deal will be offered to Kaal, that too at double the amount." Malhotra's voice trembled as he said that but it was enough to get the work done."That's good," Kiara smirked.And then, she quickly moved the gun and put it back in her pocket while I couldn't help but continue to stare at her.As she was done, she
NANDINI"Nandini, what's going in your head?" Avinash asked me.I smirked. This guy still doesn't know why I tried to snatch Malhotra's deal in the first place and that's why he panicked the hell out of himself when he got to know Kaal snatched the deal."There's a lot. But one specific thing is for sure," I winked."And what's that?" He gave me a plain expression "That, the deal with Malhotra was just a cover up," I spoke as I stood up and walked towards him."Cover up for what?" He asked.I smiled, he was still that naive kid and I knew that."For a better deal, so that Kiara couldn't get a hold of it," I chuckled."What do you mean?" He asked, confused."Actually, I managed a deal with the French Mafia," I confessed."What?" He was shocked."Yes. And you know about French Mafia, right?" I questioned him."Yes. They're the most powerful Mafia Clan in the entire world," he spoke."Yes. And I managed to crack a ten million dollar deal with them," I confessed."What?" His mouth fell o
KIARAI knew how Nandini worked. After messing up our plan in the past and betraying me, she had started to pretend that she was guilty about whatever happened. She never interfered with our deals, and even if I snatched away from her deals, she didn't pound on me. So this time, if she managed to snatch one of my deals, this wasn't something usual. It must be something other. Maybe she had used this as a cover-up to keep us busy."I think you might be true," he spoke as he sat beside me.I looked at him, he looked concerned."Well, I have to know about it," I responded."Kiara. Let me say something," he muttered holding my hand.I moved a bit towards him to face him and looked at him."What?" I asked."Stop this now," he spoke."Stop what?" I questioned."Snatching away Nandini's deals and other stuff. This is going on for a long time, I think we should stop this now," he responded."But why? She has to suffer, Rudraneel. She chose her own personal interest over my wellbeing and I ca
RUDRANEEL"Reet? You... You mean my masi?"I asked, stammering at my words.I thought my entire maternal family was dead and I had killed the last one remaining, my granddad. But I was wrong. I did have a little sister."Yes. The daughter of the woman... who got killed by your... Your stepbrother for absolutely no reason," she scoffed.I looked at her. And even though I was devastated at the news I just got, I could see pain, anger and hatred in her eyes. Now I understood her every motive, every doing."That guy killed your mother... Do you really think a promise is much... Much more important than the woman... who gave birth to you?" She asked me in a voice full of hatred.I looked towards the floor, and even she was heavily injured, she was looking at me straight in the eye. I couldn't face her, while she continued to look at me like I am her culprit."Rudra, that woman was the reason for your existence and you... You couldn't avenge her death? Okay," she chuckled."L...leave that a
KIARAAfter breaking the kiss, I looked at Rudraneel. His face was calm and it felt like he was at peace. I smiled as I didn't let him leave my hand."Rudraneel," I muttered."Yes?" He looked at me."I know this might sound weird, but I want you to do something for me," I spoke."And what's that?" He calmly asked."I want to spend a day carefree. Like I don't want any worries, whatever it may be. Even if it's my job or the work we are doing or anything. I just need one day's break and complete rest. I am exhausted," I confessed."What kind of rest?" He asked.I looked at him in confusion."Like the one where you would slouch on your bead and remain like that for an entire day, or the one where you would live carefreely and enjoy a couple of adventures?" He asked with a slight smirk."The second one," I pouted.It has been a long that I hadn't let myself go. Ever since I got to know about Mukul's illness, I had never had such a day where I would be completely carefree and enjoy the day
RUDRANEELThe next morning when I opened my eyes, I saw Kiara, sleeping peacefully. I couldn't help but smile at her.She had cuddled herself in my arms like a baby and her mouth was slightly parted open as she slept like a baby. She looked cute in my shirt as it was too big for her. I couldn't help but adore her endlessly.These two days were blissful for me and I felt so good. Kiara finally admitted she wanted to be with me and I felt like I wanted nothing more. It felt like everything was slowly falling into place. The intimate moments we spent, the kisses and touches, everything felt pure bliss.I continued to stare at her when my phone pinged. I reached my phone and checked the notification. I saw the text sent by Avni."Milan wants to meet you." The text read.I looked at Kiara, she didn't look like she would wake up anytime soon. I slowly got up from the bed and slid in my t-shirt. And then, I slowly walked out of the room.I reached Milan's room and Avni was waiting for me out
NANDINI The moment I saw Rudra pointing the gun towards Kiara, I knew I had to stop him. I quickly got up and rushed towards him and before he could pull the trigger, I punched his hand and the gun fell down. "Rudraneel!" Kiara panicked.He looked at me, while I stood there. "What are you doing, Nandini?" He shouted at me."I am stopping you from a lifetime of grief and guilt," I responded."What do you mean?" He asked. I rolled my eyes."Look at you. You're miserable," I spoke, pointing towards him, "and look at her, she has turned maniac in your love," I spoke, looking at her. "Nandini," Kiara growled."Shut up, Kiara." I yelled, "you have spoken a lot, now, let me speak." She looked at me, completely taken aback.I turned towards Rudra."So, you turned her into this monster, and now, you're going to kill her? Is it so easy?" He looked at the floor, like a kid who has been scolded."And then, after you kill her, then what? Will you be able to live with yourself? Will you be
KIARA I was calmly sitting on the chair, looking at two of my victims. Well! I wouldn't say them as victims because they were the culprits, Nandini and Avinash. They were tied and hung upside down from the ceiling of the roof. I bought them at the place that was closest to my heart. My old home, my apartment that was set on fire by these two. I continued to stare at them. Today, no one would stop me from killing them, and that's what I wanted. I had this urge to kill Avinash for ages, and now, I would be able to kill Nandini too. I calmly sat there, waiting for them to regain their consciousness, and in a few minutes, they did. I looked at them and smiled. "Welcome to your hell," I spoke and got up from my chair. It took a moment for them to understand where were they, and when they got the hang of it, they started struggling, to escape from the ropes, but I wasn't letting them do that. "Kiara..." Nandini screamed while struggling."Kiara! Where have you brought us?" Avinash qu
KIARA "Because look at you. You aren't even in your senses," Milan replied. I was startled by his words. I looked at him completely confused. "What... What do you mean?" I questioned."You know very well what do I mean. Look at you. The moment since you got the news, you're behaving like a maniac. You got unconscious, and then you were attacking on the doctor. You have no control over yourself," he continued to school me. I was getting frustrated at his words. I rolled my eyes and gave him a blank look. "If you want me to not go complete maniac. Then take me to him." I gave him an ultimatum.He gave me a look and then gasped."Fine. Come with me," he muttered. I walked after him as he took me towards Rudraneel. As I went closer to him, my heartbeat grew more as I was worried about him.And within a few minutes, I was standing in front of the room where Rudraneel was in. I gulped as I held the door knob and took a deep breath, and then, I walked inside. The moment I got inside,
MILAN "So? What are you thinking?" Avni nudged me as I was sitting quietly in my room. "Nothing, it's just..." I paused while speaking."It's just?" She looked at me."I don't know, I am feeling like something isn't right. Something worse is going to happen soon," I confessed. "What? What are you saying? Nothing is going to happen. Yeah, we're pretty much stressed due to the attacks and police pressure, but all of this is just for a few days," Avni reasoned out."I don't know. I'm feeling like something is off," I replied, thinking about my gut feeling. "Anyways, is boss home?" I asked her."Not yet," she replied. And then, I heard a rapid knock at the door that startled us.We looked at the door, and then we looked at each other, pretty confused all of a sudden. And then, I got up to get the door. The moment I opened the door, I was shocked.Kiara was standing there, crying and panting. She looked miserable and a mess. My heart sank for a moment, thinking about what happened.
A month later KIARA "Okay, so now, what to do next?""Now, cover the vessel with the lid and let it cook for thirty five minute s in medium flame," Avni Di answered. I did the same and took a deep breath and then looked at her. "I hope the end product is good," I muttered, worried."It will be. You're making this with love," she winked. I was cooking lamb biryani, one of Rudraneel's favourite dishes. I had never cooked it before that's why I had asked Avni Di's help. These months have been stressful at work, with frequent attacks, and pressure from the police and the government, it was a bit difficult to keep it up. But still, we managed somehow. Rudraneel had asked me to take a break from all the underground work and just focus on my day job at the laboratory. At first, I was reluctant, but then I considered the police pressure and knowing the fact that I might put my colleagues in the laboratory in danger if I continued both, I agreed to take the break. The moment I took a
AVINASH The only person who could dare to do this was none other than Kiara. She would for sure plan an attack on us. "Are you nuts? Why would Kiara do this?" Nandini questioned, looking at me.I was surprised. Didn't Nandini get the logic behind this? "Who else would have done this Nandu?" I retorted.I had lost a few of my men, and right now, I was furious. "Why Kiara?" She questioned."Because she has all the reasons," I answered."How?" I sighed and then looked at her."Tell me, what has she been doing in these years? She has been snatching our deals?" I questioned."Yes," she answered."So, maybe she got to know about this huge deal with the mafia in Paris. And that's why, out of frustration, she took this step," I reasoned. "No. She can't do this," Nandini rolled her eyes."Why not?" I questioned."Because snatching deals and a fucking attempt to murder are two different things," she shouted at me. "Kiara is insane, Nandu. Don't forget this. She can attempt this," I argue
KIARA I don't know why but it felt like my mind was screaming at me that behind this attack were only the two people, Avinash and Nandini. "No. They can't do this," he muttered.I was surprised at Rudraneel. He was disagreeing with me. "How are you so sure about them?" I questioned."I just am. They... They can't do this," he replied. He looked firm at his decision and that was confusing."Then who else can do that? Who else has knowledge about all of our locations? Who else could dare to attack me and you? Who... Who else would stay at our major locations without a budge... And... And who else would break down all the security barriers? Avinash is your nephew, Rudraneel. He knows it all," I argued. "No he doesn't," he replied.I stared at him in absolute distaste. "How are you so sure?" I questioned him."Because till the time Avinash lived with me, I had never informed him a bit about my security and locations, and after Akhil bhaiya's death, I had changed all of our security
RUDRANEEL The moment Kiara fell on my arms, I panicked. She had been shot and I freaked out. The first thing that I had on my mind was to kill the person who dared to shoot her and that's what I did. I continued to fire bullets at the person who shot her until I saw him falling on the floor, dead and ripped apart. And then, I picked up Kiara in my arms."Kiara, open your eyes," I tapped her cheeks, hoping for her to remain conscious.She slowly opened her eyes but it felt like she was still losing her consciousness."Nothing will happen to you baby, nothing at all," I muttered. My left arm hurt due to the bullet that hit me there, but at that time I couldn't care more. I was worried about her, and I wanted her alright at any cost. "Kia... Please, baby please keep your eyes open," I cried out.I had hugged her tightly as I wasn't ready to let her go at any cost. Within a few minutes, I heard footsteps approaching us. I had tightened my grip on Kiara and stayed still, looking arou
AVINASH "So. Our work here is done," I looked at Nandini as we sat in our car."Yes," she nodded and the driver drove the car. The moment we landed here, we had an immediate meeting with the mafia and we were able to finalise our deal. This was a victory for us because this was the biggest deal that anyone could ever crack and now, I wanted to celebrate. "I want to celebrate now," I happily announced."We will. But before that, I do have a surprise for you," she winked, looking at me."Surprise?" I stared at her."Yep," she nodded. As the driver drove, I got to figure out that we weren't going back to our hotel and at that time, I could see the Eiffel Tower nearing. I felt nervous and excited at the same time. What was in her head? What was she even planning? I thought about it, but then, the driver changed his route and we weren't going towards the entrance of Eiffel Tower anymore. "Where are we going?" I asked."The Eiffel tower," she replied."But we just passed from the entr
