Chapter 2

Wearing his suit he came out of the closet while a butler was already standing with his black coffee. "Leave it here and don't make me breakfast. I am going for some business" he said and the butler nodded at him before leaving his room. 

    Sipping his black coffee he stared at the picture for a long while. It was a picture of a girl looking elsewhere, it seems like the picture was taken without her knowing. The dimples on her face caught his eyes while she was smiling. 'Beautiful smile' the thought crossed his mind which soon he shrugged off. 

      Her coffee brown eyes were gleaming with happiness. She was looking happy in the picture, unaware of the storm coming her way that will turn her life upside down. He was going to snatch her smile soon. "Shanaya" his voice echoed in the eerie silence of his room as he stared at the picture. As he was a predator looking at his prey "The key of my plan" His voice was deep and his eyes were void of any emotions. 

         A knock on his door broke his trance. "Come in" he responded putting the picture back in the drawer. A woman in her mid-twenty entered his room. Her heels made a sound slamming against the tiled floor. She was wearing a beige colour shirt matched with a brown coloured pencil skirt, and with her high heels and bold makeup, she was spreading an aura of a lady boss.

     "Avyaansh, finally you are here" removing her shades with a smile, her voice sounded with the excitement laced with her words. She walked towards the couch in his room and took her seat. "How did you know I am back?" he asked, walking towards the couch with the coffee mug in his hand and sitting across from her, picking up his iPad from the tea table and going through the emails. 

"Just like you don't consider informing me about your arrival. I don't appreciate answering you" she spat back, picking up the magazine from the table. He looked at her with amusement and shook his head. "Natasha, you are impossible," he said, deliberately pausing in between. 

     "How's the office going?" Avyaansh asked, sipping his bitter coffee. "Everything is going smoothly as you wanted," Natasha replied. "When are you planning to make your appearance in the company?" She asked further. "Within a week," came his reply. 

  

      "You were coming the day after tomorrow, then what's the reason for this sudden arrival?" Natasha asked, flipping the page of the magazine in her hand. "Why should you wait for tomorrow when you have today?" His reply only puzzled her and she rolled her eyes at him. "You don't take any step without a plan, now care to explain?" She pressed her lips together, putting the magazine back on the table and concentrating on him thoroughly. 

   

      "Wanted to give you a surprise," he said while his lips twitched into an evil smirk. "And what is that?" She asked, giving him a knowing look. "I found his weakness" as soon as the word left his mouth she tilted her head in his direction while an evil smile played on her lips. 

Avyaansh Malhotra: 26 years old, a successful self-made billionaire, running a famous company RM holdings in real Estate. His icy blue hypnotizing orbs can turn any girl on her knees. His 6ft tall height and broad chest with a well-built muscular body make his appearance more irresistible. A handsome face with a cold heart, known as a ruthless billionaire in the business world. Used to be a playboy, a womanizer in his university life and maybe still is.

             "Finally done with the classes" Tanya spoke, heaving a sigh as the professor left the class. "I thought that lady dragon would eat my brain," Nia said dramatically with a broad expression and they all laughed. They were leaving the class after attending their last lecture. 

"Surely she never liked you" Tanya mocked her and Nia rolled her eyes. 

"As if I am going to make a relationship with her" Nia spat back flipping her hair. "How? By marrying her only son?" Tanya joked and earned a slap on her shoulder. "Tanya" Nia huffed while Tanya burst into a fit of laughter. 

   "Let's go to the canteen, or I will faint right here" before Nia could retort Tanya whined and Shanaya chuckled at the duo and they all walked towards the canteen. 

         "Guys I am so fed up with the assignment and now when it's completed let's have some fun. What do you say?" Nia cooed in excitement chewing on her sandwich. "What about Pubs? Tonight?" Tanya suggested taking a sip of her juice. "No, there's a big No for me," Shanaya said, having the last bite of her burger and wiping her hands with a tissue. They were in a cafeteria unaware of someone taking their picture secretly and sending it to his boss. 

  

       "Don't spoil the mood, you are coming and I am not taking no as an answer" Nia declared, rising from her seat and banging her hand on the table loudly, bringing everyone's attention to them in the cafeteria. "Sorry guys. Carry on" She said with an embarrassed smile and sat back on her chair. "Dad won't allow me to go to the Pub. I can't come" Shanaya reasoned, sipping her oreo shake.

     "Daddy's princess, who told you to inform your dad," Tanya said sarcastically. "What do you want me to do? To lie to him? No way," Shanaya refused clearly, lying to her father didn't sit well with her. "Shanaya dear. Please. Can't you do this little favour for me? Please, please, please" Nia showed her puppy eyes which were impossible for Shanaya to refuse her besties. "But what will I tell dad?" She asked in a defeated voice, making both girls grin in victory. 

        "Just tell him that we are doing a combined study at my home. I am sure uncle won't refuse" Tanya suggested. "Really! And what about those elephants who stick with me like a shadow all the time" Shanaya huffed, totally annoyed with her bodyguards whom her father hired for her safety. 

   Rajeev never allowed her to go anywhere without the bodyguards. And if it were not for them on the day of fresher's party she won't know what would have happened to her. "Just bribe them," Nia said nonchalantly, leaning on the chair back. 

    

     "And you think they are easy to bribe. Dad didn't hire them without a quality check" Shanaya rolled her eyes. "Don't worry babe. I will handle your elephants. Leave it on me" Nia winked at them with a mischievous smile and later both joined her.
