I was sitting inside my office and my breathing was still uneven. The event happened in Mr. Aryan’s office was still fresh in my mind. What does he want? What did father did to face his wrath? Remembering his menacing attitude gives me Goosebumps.

I remember he was smiling at me when I saw him coming from behind the bookshelf. And the smiling face brings an unknowing satisfaction within me. But upon hearing about father his attitude changed. His face was so infuriating. His each word were so intimidating. His handsome face changed into a demoniac one. I feel disappointed.

Wait!! What? Disappointed? Me? Because of his face, not because he is going to destroy my father. Crap!! What is it with you Harika? Why are behaving like this in front of him? You know he is going to destroy your father, that your family. Don’t you get it? He is your enemy. And your father is in coma. As his daughter you have to fight for him to save the hotel. Yes, you have to find a way to fight him. Sighing I started doing my work.

There is an exhibition of the famous jewellery designer starting from Monday for a week. I have to make sure all the arrangements are done properly.

By evening almost all arrangements were done. Now the hall decoration is pending. I gave necessary instructions to staff and made sure everything will be done. Then i headed to my office, grabbed my bag and walked to the elevator. I entered into the lift and the doors were closing. All of a sudden a hand came in between and doors opened again.

Again the same dark eyes appeared and they were looking at me. But now there was no amusement in them instead there was an unreadable emotion.

It looks like he was trying to find something in my face. He entered the lift stood near me. I looked away from him. I can feel his stare on me. It was silent inside the lift. I sighed, not knowing what to do.

“Still thinking of ways to save your father?” he asked suddenly. I looked at him. “You know, you should rest your brain. There is no way to save him from me. And you are not a match for Me.” he said with a mocking tone.

Wow. He always succeeds to piss me off. I felt insulted. A frown appeared on my face. How could he judge me like that? Like everyone he too thinks I am here just because of my father. Why no one can see the efforts I am making.

“Well, you don’t know that until I try. And you are just a board member. The majority of the shares are still with my dad. So don’t keep your hope high. Do you think that I will back off by seeing your all action hero act? Fine, I agree I was indeed surprised. But i’m not scared of you. Will see who wins.” I said with confidence.

Now it’s his turn to frown. He was about to say something but the lift’s doors opened and I hurriedly came out of the lift.

“Ok then, see you tomorrow Mr. Aryan. Have a good evening.” I smiled and said.

I walked fast to the parking lot. It took me a lot of courage to not show my nervousness in front of him. I doubted he will follow me to my car so that he can give me a answer to my face. I was about to open my car door.

“It’s Vedant.” I heard him saying. I stopped on my track and turned back. He was standing a few meters away from me. I gave him a questioning look.

“Vedant. My name. But I prefer you call me Ved.” He said in a slow and husky voice, looking at my eyes with an unreadable expression. I looked at him confused. He looked away immediately and got into his car drove away.

What is this man up to? Sometimes he is so intimidating, that staying near him itself brings me fear and sometimes he is as calm as an evening breeze.

Thinking that, I got into my car. I put my head on the steering wheel and took a deep breath. I really needed a break.

I smiled thinking of the one person I can rely on. Kavya , Kavya Shekar. My best friend, the only one who knows all my secrets. Only one who knows what I went through. It was her who gave me strength to get up from the hell. She was the one who asked me to take the counselling. She was with me when I was going through my divorce, which my father despised very much.

Ok stop, no need to go there again. Let not think about it. Sighing I called my best friend. “Hey, how about a girls night. There was a lot in my plate today. Really need a break. will you come over?” I asked.

“Oh, someone seems very desperate. Fine I will be there by 7.” She said. I agreed and drove to my apartment.
