**At K. K. Corporation**"I am submitting my reports to you," Shakti said to Mason, who was staring at her."Give me the past accounts records of the clothing lines," Shakti said to him. He nodded and stood up from his seat."Alright," Mason replied. Shakti wrapped up her work and started to move, but Mason stopped her by standing in front of her."How are you, sweetie?" he asked her sweetly, his blue eyes staring into her two blazing orbs."Mason, I don't want to talk to you, and why the hell are you even here?" Shakti was angry at him. She had been tolerating him for the past few weeks, but not anymore."Why can't I work in India?" Mason said dramatically, which increased her temper."Do whatever you want, but just stay away from me," Shakti said and moved, but he pulled her towards him.His hands were on her forearms. Shakti was shocked by his sudden actions. Her heart was beating very fast, and she was scared but didn't show her fear to him."Mason, don't forget who you are and who
"She seduced me first," Mason blurted out, and Shakti gasped at his accusing words.Her eyes filled with tears, and Rudra saw her red, moistened eyes. He started throwing punches at Mason."No one knows her better than me, so stop pointing at her character; otherwise, I'll bury you alive," Rudra said.Shakti's heart swelled at his words. Her red eyes started shedding tears. Neil wanted to crush Mason because he had already taken hits from Rudra."You are fired, Mr. Heart," Neil said."No one in our company has ever done something like this. Our company gives equal opportunity and protection to our employees, but what you did is unforgettable and unforgivable. When she said leave, it means you have to leave her," Neil said, his jaw twitching."You are lucky that Mr. Kashyap is not here; otherwise, you wouldn't be standing on your feet," Neil added."Out. Go out of my company," Neil said, but Shakti stopped him. "No, Mr. Khanna. He will not repeat his actions in the future. Let him go th
**This chapter is the extended version of the chapter "Dark Secrets of His Possession" from my second book, "Billionaire's Intoxicating POSSESSION "**---Shakti had been living with Rudra at his house for two days. He had not been home during that time, but finally, he called her, though only for work.Rudra asked her to retrieve a file from his cupboard. Shakti sighed as she went into his bedroom and opened the cupboard.She found a file and read a few bold letters carved on it: "VIKRANT."Shakti handed the file to Rudra's team member who came to collect it.While working, Shakti suddenly remembered that something had fallen from Rudra's cupboard when she was searching for the file.Shakti went back to Rudra's bedroom to search and found an envelope.The envelope was sealed, and Shakti's mind nagged her to open it.Shakti remembered how Rudra had threatened her not to touch any of his belongings, but "MERE RUDRA" (MY RUDRA) was written on the envelope, and she went against her morals
Rudra bolted out of the house and left Shakti alone. She didn't know what to do at the moment, so she dialed Neil's number. Neil picked it up on the second ring."H-Hello? Brother Ne... Neil," Shakti stuttered badly."Sister?" Neil replied as Shakti's heart was racing and her mind was praying for Rudra's safety."Ru... Rudra," Shakti said and burst into tears."What happened? Just tell me clearly," Neil panicked when he heard her crying."Rudra went somewhere. He got to know that he has a son with his dead lover," Shakti said and wiped her tears."What?" Neil was shocked too."Yes! He went to meet someone named Pari," Shakti said and cried loudly again.Neil was shocked and didn't know how to handle the crying Shakti."Sister, don't worry. Okay, I know where he went. I'll call you later," Neil said, cut the call, and called Arjun to inform him about the situation.Shakti started reading Mompi's letter again and cried loudly, but her tears were not for her own broken heart.She was cryi
**At Porishma's House, Delhi** [Last chapter continued] When Porishma came back from NY with Davis, Rudra, Arjun, and Neil were already there. Rudra was staring at Ansh with mixed feelings.At this moment, Porishma knew that she had lost Rudra forever. He would never forgive her for the betrayal.It wasn't a betrayal for her, but it was for Rudra because Porishma hid the fact about Ansh. She did it because she knew that Rudra got married, but she didn't know that the marriage never happened.Why? Because Shakti went to help her friend, but Porishma was unaware of this fact.When Aunt Asha saw Porishma, she immediately took Ansh back to his room.**PORISHMA'S POV:**"Rudra," I whispered his name, but his eyes were empty.Neil and Arjun were present at my house, witnessing the betrayal of a friend."Pari," Rudra said my name sadly, and I felt my heart freeze at his broken self."Why? Why did you do this to me, Pari? I was your friend," Rudra's voice cracked."I never hid anything from
"Hello! Is this Arjun Kashyap's number?" Shakti asked softly."Yes, Arjun Kashyap here," Arjun said in his usual beastly tone as he knew that if he got a call from an unknown number on his personal number then the caller was from his family."I'm Shakti," Shakti said, and Arjun instantly knew who she was."Yes, sister! What happened?" Arjun asked as Pashika turned around to look at him."Sorry to disturb you, brother, but I was trying brother Neil's number, and it's not reachable," Shakti said sadly, and Arjun sighed weakly."No, it's fine. Neil is in Shimla. What's wrong? You can share it with me," Arjun asked as his eyes were on his Beauty, who looked away from him and his intense, enchanting eyes."Brother, Rudra isn't at home. It's been a week, and I'm trying to hold on, but I don't know where he is," Shakti said as she whimpered.Shakti was a strong woman but became weak only because of Rudra and his broken self. She was sad and heartbroken because Rudra lost both his love and his

Her father had been asking her to return home, and this time, she was willing to go back.But at the moment, she was sitting in a café, staring at Porishma. Both Shakti and Porishma were seated across from each other, trying to talk, but they didn’t know where to start."I did not know that his marriage never happened", Porishma said sadly, and Shakti giggled at her words."I ran away from the wedding," Shakti said, and Porishma stared at her.Shakti laughed at Porishma’s shocked expression and then they began to share their pasts with each other.Porishma told Shakti why she came to Delhi, how Mompi followed her, and how they met Rudra. Porishma shared her life with Shakti, and Shakti also disclosed why she left on her wedding day. The two g
**A Month Later, at the Police Station:**"Sir! Here's the report on Vikrant's men," Rudra's team member said as he handed over the files. Rudra read through every detail meticulously."I’m heading home now, so keep all the files in the drawer and lock it properly," Rudra instructed his trusted team members."And one more thing—keep your eyes open for any tiny bit of information on Vikrant," Rudra added, and his team nodded in agreement."And what about Shakti's report?" Rudra asked."Madam is fine. Her brother got married last month," his team replied, and Rudra sighed loudly."Sir! Someone has come to see you," the office guard informed Rudra.Rudra nodded and walked out of the office, where he found her—Porishma, with a fearful expression, staring down at the floor. Rudra shook his head in disapproval and moved towards her."What are you doing here?" Rudra asked in his monotonous tone."I came to meet you, Rudra," Porishma said with a small smile on her lips."But why, Pari? I thoug

Then why are you saying things again and again? And don't forget that your delivery date is near," Rudra said, making her sit down on the bed.He put her legs on his lap and massaged her swollen legs.

Shakti stopped and ran out of the room, bolting inside the bathroom."I've told you so many times to take care of yourself, but you're being very brave, Kore. Always ignoring my warnings, huh?" Rudra said, rubbing her back as she emptied her stomach.Rudra was losing his temper whenever he found her crying, nauseated, or feeling dizzy, which made her body weak."If you don't take care of yourself, I'll definitely send you to either Mumbai or Rajasthan.
