The next day when Shanaya was leaving the college she got a call from her father. Rajeev asked her to come to the office after she's off to college. She spotted the car waiting for her on the porch. "Okay dad, I'll be there," she said and hung up the call. She hopped in the back seat and the car drove off. She was engrossed in her phone when she felt the heated gaze of someone. In an instant, her head shot up at the rearview mirror and the driver immediately averted his eyes. The driver was wearing a mask and a cap while driving the car. Weird. She felt odd but didn't voice out but soon her mind got alert when she saw the car was moving in a different way instead of the office root it was driving in the opposite direction and she uttered "this is not the root to the office" she looked at him from the rearview mirror but he didn't say anything. Her brows furrowed when he ever so slowly lifted his left brow glancing at her through the rearview mirror and that was it. Her mind got c
He was driving her to the office while she was sitting in the passenger seat. His fingers brushed against her thigh whenever he reached out to change the gear. That mere touch sent chills down her spine. She was sitting in his car stiff but there was havoc in her heart. "Stop here," she said meekly when they were a little distant from the office. "But we are a little away from your father's office," he said, frowning. "I will walk… a little. Dad might…see you" she stuttered fidgeting with the seatbelt. 'Smart girl' he chuckled inwardly and nodded at her. She got out of the car and he drove away without sparing her a single glance. "What's wrong with him? At Least he could say bye" she pouted looking in his direction and left. "Where were you, Shanaya? I was waiting for you" Rajeev let out as she walked into his office. "Sorry dad, I got late," she said meekly while taking her seat. "Alright dear, I need your signatures on these files," he said, forwarding her bunch of files and sh
"What the hell have you all been doing for all these months? Avyaanh shouted. His loud voice roared in the corridor out of the VIP ward making everyone shiver in fear. A woman probably in her late forties was lying like a corpse on the hospital bed. Her condition was critical. The best medical team was assigned to treat the woman who was in a coma for the last three years. "S…Sir, we're trying…our best b…but she's not responding…to the treatment," a senior doctor among them spoke out while his whole being stuttered. Who wouldn't fear the man standing in front of them was none other than Avyaansh Malhotra. A ruthless businessman who was capable of demolishing this hospital and ruining their career in a flick of a finger. "We have called the specialist from Italy for her treatment. He will be here by this weekend" that same doctor enunciated after a while and Avyaansh dismissed them. He looked at the woman who was none other than his mother Shreya Malhotra. After that tragic incident
"You don't have to pick me up we are going to Nia's place for the assignment. I had spoken with dad" Shanaya declared when Neil parked his car near the porch. "Okay, give me a call when you are done, I'll be…" Shanaya didn't let him complete and say. "No need. I will come by myself" and got out of the car as did Nia and Tanya. She had told her friends about her meeting with Avyaansh today and surprise was written all over their faces. Tanya and Nia didn't leave a chance to tease her. They were happy for their best friend as she was for the first time doing something on her own.After college Shanaya was waiting at the library. Nia and Tanya left after bidding bye to her not before giving her a teasing smile that made her palm her face. She was checking her phone now and then. It's been half an hour since she was waiting and after a while, her phone buzzed. She instantly picked up the call seeing his name flashing on the screen. Her heart was beating at an unusual pace and she took de
Shanaya pushed him and ran to the random side "now catch me if you can" shouted back at him. He shook his head and ran after her. She was laughing and running around the shore freely. She felt delighted and wanted to be careless for a while. As she saw him approaching her she ran faster screaming in excitement but not faster than him. He grabbed her wrist easily but her feet twisted and they both fell on the sand. Her back hit the ground and Avyaansh was on top of her hovering over her. Both were panting hard after the run and were staring at each other. None of them said a word. Avyaansh dipped his head in the crook of her neck and inhaled her hair. She shivered in his hold and shut her eyes. Her intoxicating lavender scent was addicting him and he wanted nothing more but to inhale her intoxicating smell. However, he pushed his arms and stood up it was then she released a breath that she was holding. Avyaansh forward his hand and she grasped it and he pulled her up. "I have somet
"So, everything is going according to the plan?" Natasha asked, taking her seat in front of the wooden desk in his cabin. "You should know better as you kept a watch on me," Avyaansh said calmly while working on his laptop. They were in the office and Natasha came to his cabin to confront him. "It seems easy to trap her as she's already in love with you. Just one kiss and she went all mushy in your arms, no?" Natasha mocked rolling the paperweight in her hand. Her gaze was dead set on him. Avyaansh's head snapped at her and his jaw clenched. "I told you it was a part of the plan. I had to make it look real" He gritted every word. For the last two days, Natasha had annoyed the hell out of him by bringing up that topic again and again. Although he didn't plan for that kiss, it was the heat of the moment and he got carried away. But the thing is that he didn't want to define himself so he just lied about it as a part of the plan. Natasha sensed the thing which Avyaansh was unaware of.
He was driving his black sedan on the streets of the city for a long time. It was lunchtime when he left Singhania heights and till now he was driving on the streets taking over the neighboring cars. He halted his car on the vacant road and heaved a breath. Taking out his phone he dialed his security team. "I want every detail about this man by tonight. Do whatever you have to do. I need the reports by tonight, his background, family everything" ordering his best hacker team he drove back to his office. "Send Natasha ma'am to my cabin," he ordered his assistant going inside his cabin when Tarun instantly replied "Natasha ma'am went out for a meeting, she left some files for you to sign," he said, forwarding the file files to him. He busied himself with work which could distract him for some time. He went through his laptop and completed his pending work. It was already off time as everyone left. Tarun also left after informing him and he nodded. He decided to leave and talk with N
The next day after breakfast she was in her room when she got a message from Neil. 'Get ready, I'll pick you up in an hour'. She sighed and got up from the couch and walked into the washroom. She changed her dress into a simple white shirt and blue jeans. An hour later Neil picked her and they drove to the shopping mall. Avyaansh was in his office working on his laptop when he got the call from his man. Sliding the green icon he answered the call. "Sir, I got the CCTV footage of that jewellery shop and sent it to you already. They are in a fashion boutique right now" that man said and he hung up the call. After a minute he received a video and played it on his laptop and saw her entering the jewellery shop with Neil. He watched that video keenly and his blood boiled looking at the footage when Neil dragged her to one of the corridors and pushed her against the wall with a jerk. The footage has no sound but he could see her fearful eyes and shivering in her body. 'Was she afraid of h
