As soon as rahul came to know about lakshmi from Arjun's mother, he immediately set off to Newyork.

He reached his mansion and called his men to dispatch a search team for her. He came to know that arjun too was searching for her after 'all' he has done to her. He is not going to let arjun catch her at any cost.

' It's okay if I don't find, but I would surely not let arjun find her at any cost.'

He knew Vihaan all too well and he knew that Kaira is dumb. Though she might have taken revenge on Lakshmi which Vihaan wouldn't have accepted but Vihaan had a 'thing' for lakshmi which rahul observed whenever they visited their home , as once he noticed when arjun made lakshmi sit on his lap and rahul didn't miss the grunting sound from vihaan while observing the couple.

' Damn it.

I did never guess that he would actually try to seperate them , arjun is one of us

Dammit.

He should keep his fucking hood to himself. '

Rahul quickly got dressed up in a crisp white shirt and black pant.

He took car keys from the Butler and left the mansion.

All he could do right now is

Search like others

And keep an eye on arjun.

On the other side,

Vihaan hasn't slept at all since he got the news of her missing. He wants to destroy arjun for hurting his angel. He already started his game with his family....

He entered his study and sat on his chair with his one leg on the other one. He spinned the black stone paper weight on his dark mahagony table.

' Those photos did their work to raise a havoc in that family, who raised a bastard.

Soon

Very soon

I will make the whole family

Shatter into pieces.

My angel...

Where are you?

No one will hurt you now...

......Come back to me....

Stop hiding dear.....'

Vihaan didn't leave any cards unturned in the whole city.

------------------------------------

Somewhere in newyork

A girl is crying and screaming at a person who is about to pull a trigger at an innocent girl who hasn't done any wrong.... She wasn't involved in anyone's murder.... She can't kill anyone....she is soft hearted angel....

" will you people just shut up ! " screamed Alexander looking at his daughter and lakshmi who are crying for some lady in the TV.

He looked at them who are still sobbing cupping their mouths.

" you do surely know how to make my daughter cry " he said while switching off the TV.

" get lost " was the only two words Lakshmi uttered while turning the TV on with remote.

Alexander was shocked even more when his daughter pushed his hand away while he was trying to make her move.

Though he was angry, he controlled himself.........and groaned as soon as those two females started crying again watching TV.

He looked at floor where Ibbu and dog were playing with pen stand , clips and comb.

Who gives this stuff to play?

Alexander immediately removed pen stand and clips as they can hurt the child. He looked at Lakshmi who is stuck to TV and he knew that it was of no use to budge her.

He took the baby in his large hands and went to the kitchen to get rid of the small ink marks on his fingers. He handled babie's hand with care in his large ones.

All the while the baby was silent and looking at Alexander's large fingers rubbing on his small ones to get rid of the ink.

As soon as Alexander was done with washing, he was about to take him to the couch when Ibbu held on to his sleeve and pulled , grabbing his eyes towards him. He pointed his small index finger towards the fridge and Alexander moved towards the fridge and opened it.

Ibbu pointed at chocolate milkshake while Alexander was perplexed if he could let the baby drink it.

He dosen't really wanna deal with Lakshmi now...

He sighed and took the tin out and poured it in a small glass.

He kept infront of the baby with a straw so that he dosen't pour on himself and his mouth won't be stained....in this way he dosen't have to face that over protective woman.

Ibbu is enjoying his milkshake and suddenly the glass fell down on the tile flour breaking into multiple pieces.

Before Alexander could remove the baby, lakshmi ran from the hall way and Alexander was stuck to floor looking at her.

He couldn't even move a bit.

The infamous mafia lord of Russia

Never had a fear and

Never showed his weakness (daughter)

Is right now scared of the little woman who is running like as if she is going to kill someone...

His face didn't give him away as he was still maintaining his cold facade but Lakshmi is giving out multiple glares and murderous vibes.

" Ibraheem!

With whose permission you are drinking it!? " she yelled angrily at Ibbu and the baby pointed at Alexander with an innocent expression . While Alexander looked like a deer caught in red light.

Ibbu gave a smug expression which Alexander saw and went unnoticed by Lakshmi.

Lakshmi looked at Alexander and then back at her son.

" does it pain? Rasgulla? " she asked softly as soon as she saw the broken glass pieces on the floor.

The baby nodded a 'no' , and she was relaxed after checking his small body...

" Aryan Atharva Ibraheem Singh Rajput ! " she said sternly while grunting her teeth. There was 360 degrees turnover in her behaviour within a few seconds.

" you lie?

Do you think that your mother will not know what you do?

Why are you blaming on innocent one? ( Alexander cringed at that word as no one has ever used it on a son of Lucifer like him)

You asked him right?

the drink....( Lakshmi asked coming close to babie's face while Ibbu's face paled and Alexander almost wants to get away from this place by seeing her face....)

Tell me

Will you lie again?

Ha ?

Tell! " lakshmi asked sternly still close to his face and Ibbu nodded a 'no' with tears brimming in his eyes. Though it's hard on a child but parenting him in a right way is very necessary especially in this spoiled world. Somethings need to be taught from the start when the kid does wrong maybe even for fun if he does, he might get used to it later. She dosen't want anyone to get hurt because of her son in anyway. He is too intelligent for his own good and she is hell bent on making him walk in the right way.

" I don't want you to lie from here on,

Lying is bad,

very bad,

it's a grave sin as it's an injustice to the truth.

The consequences of lying will hinder you and not only yourself but me too.

Lie for saving a life

Lie for protecting your loved ones

Lie for a greater cause

But donot make lying a habit.

Your whole existence will become a lie.

Do you want it? "

Lakshmi asked again and this time Ibbu didn't have tears in his eyes but he was rather staring at his mother's serious face.... Though he couldn't understand a few sentences she spoke, but he understood that his mother hates the concept of lies.

Baby nodded his head in response said " no aiying " in his baby words to which Lakshmi smiled and nodded saying " no lying " and she touched her scrunched nose with babie's nose and both of them smiled.

Alexander just stood there looking at both with no words in his mouth. He was shocked with the way she was dealing with her son because he knew that, that baby will sure cry seeing her angry face because he never dealt in such a manner with his own baby girl even now....

But what amused him more was Ibbu's response after keenly listening to his mother even though he had tears in his eyes initially but now he nodded accepting his mother's word.

He left the mother and son duo in the kitchen and went back to his study.

He poured himself a shot and started thinking about his daughter. He dosen't want anyone to hurt his daughter....not even touch her....He changed himself for his daughter....

But then he remembered Lakshmi...

' She is good soul from the beginning and you are a bad one so you ought to change yourself for your daughter ' said his subconsious....

' True that ' he thought....

' Maybe this was the reason why my dad never tried to seperate the mother and son as he found the son to be more useful for his empire.... '

He knew it from before,

the reason why his father made this little inexperienced woman as his secretory.

But he is not interested in her,

He respects her stance for her son

not only shields him from the world

but also prepare him for the world too....

But he can't get to like someone only because she is good and rare to find in this world.

She is innocent

She is broken

She is bleeding

But she is strong....

She is a good teacher for her son.

He knows everything about her....

He can't get to love her,

He couldn't even get to like her...

But he surely dosen't hate her like he hates the rest of the world and himself.

But he couldn't get out the fact that his daughter is more attached to her now....

Rose wants Lakshmi and needs Lakshmi to feel safe and sane....

Though he could also provide them, but as said,

it requires two to make one.

" Only if she had her mother.

A good mother. "

He mumbled and let the shot burn his throat.

He loved her.

But she didn't.

He couldn't even say his daughter what her own mother is......

He drank the whole bottle and removed his clothes entering his room which is connected to study.

As soon as he entered his room, he went inside washroom and sat in the bathing tub slowly . The water started filling the tub and he continued drinking remembering her.....

First time he saw her when he went to his sister's university. She was standing near the baseball court and holding a bag. As soon as a girl approached her, she gave her bag to her friend and both of them left.

His eyes didn't leave her until she got inside her car and left.

From then on,

he frequently went to pick up his sister from university.

He used to gaze at her...this continued for a week until he saw her giggling with an interwined hands with another male. She kissed him on his lips for a brief second and Alexander's anger boiled more....

All he could see was her beautiful smile and pretty face.... He wants her, though he tried to get rid of those thoughts but her face dosen't leave his mind....

He thought that maybe after having her, he could get rid of her from his brain.... But that was his biggest fault.

He drugged her with a rape date drug as she wouldn't remember this day of her life....

Even after he had her

He couldn't let her go off his bed...

He kept on tracing her eyes, nose and lips while she is laying on the bed unconscious and naked under the sheets....

He made love with her....

Which he never did with anyone....

His heart pained...

Maybe he felt bad...

So he decided to make her his and giver her a beautiful life she deserves.... Though he is a devil, but he can look after his angel....

Giving all his love to her....

( This was his next big fault. )

As soon as Ella woke up

She was shocked to see a man beside her and she screamed seeing herself naked under the sheets...

She was about to get away from there but she was held back by Alexander hugging her from behind... She tried to get rid of him and suddenly her body stayed still listening to " I love you " from his mouth and a kiss on her shoulder....

He promised her

though she was reluctant to give him a chance

....but she did in the end...

.

.

.

.

As the time passed by they enjoyed each others company and ella too adjusted to his domineering behaviour....

It was until one fine day when Alexander returned to his home and didn't see ella.... They have got their names registered as wife and husband long ago...but they still didn't have an official marriage infront of the world as Ella didn't want one which Alexander obeyed and respected her decision as she thought that it's a waste of money which they could donate to orphanage.....

As soon as his Butler informed that ella went to Sir Rodriguez's home, he reached his father's mansion as soon as he can....

His father said that she came to meet his sister but she left and Derek offered her lift.

Derek is his distant relative who works in one of their sub branches.

He immediately went to Derek's house to only find them in doing a deed.

That instant....

He was broken

Shattered

He confronted her, to which she just rolled her eyes covering her body with sheets.

" you don't want inheritance from your father,

you can't satisfy my needs. " as soon as she spoke them, she looked totally different....

A stranger....

His heart pained alot in mere seconds with mere words....

Yes

He didn't want his father's inheritance nor the throne because he wanted to keep his own family away from all the gruesome deeds that his paternal family does....

He wants to have a small happy life with his wife and future children...

He made this up only when he got married to her....

He wants to leave his past behind and embrace the beautiful future....

He changed for her

He sacrificed for her

For her

For his children's life

He is ready to work in a 9 to 6 job.

Ready to make his body sweat and earn money for his family.....

Only if he did observe her from the start...

Only if he did see her staring at him even before he saw her....

Only if he did see her see him like a prince with money

rather than a king of hearts....

Her well hidden greed exposed the moment she came to know that Alexander's brother will be the heir of the Empire as Alexander denied taking up the position.

Though she tried for the brother too but he maintined his distance as she was his elder brother's wife for whom his elder brother gave away the crown.... He didn't want to tell this to his elder brother because he didn't have the heart to break his heart...

Alexander let her go

He couldn't even bare to see her face

So he let her go...

When he came to know that she is 2 months pregnant , he requested her and even signed a deal with her of 10 million dollars as she wanted and she wouldn't want to have any relationship with the child after birth, to which Alexander accepted... His heart ached at seeing his broken family and his child without a mother even though she is still growing in Ella.

.

.

.

.

.

.

As soon as Rosellina was born, he took her away from Ella, he didn't even let his daughter have her milk as he felt disgusted by her

and on himself for loving her.

Ella had intercourse with Derek while she was pregnant and Alexander knew it.

But he didn't say anything.

He let it.

Now that his baby girl is out

He was happy

As soon as she opened her eyes,

He knew for sure that he has to protect the only one which is left in his family....

His angel....

His baby girl....

His bud....

When Rosellina turned 2 , Ella came to know that Alexander is going to crowned as the next heir of the empire. She went back to him with the hopes of getting him and her child back.... To have a secured lavish life for the rest of her life....

Though she tried emotional black mail that her daughter needs her and he needs her too and as well as she needs him too... She was very wrong to leave him for Derek who seduced her..... She has been spitting lies which Alexander wondered if this was what she has been spitting from the start....

Seeing Alexanders unfazed expression and no emotions in those eyes, she knew that he won't change. He threw papers on her face which stated that baby is his and they are already divorced as soon as his rose was born. Ella fisted in anger and left from there after getting humiliated...

She married Derek Smith and became Ella Smith now..... Mrs. Smith.....

Once when he came to know that she contacted his daughter which shook him to core, he went to her house and thereatened her to not to come near her daughter which shocked Ella as she saw that he changed into more worse-self than before.....

~~No more lies the dream family he~~ dreamt of....

But what shocked him was the doll she kept to spy on his daughter....

A doll costed his ex wife her husband's company....

.

.

.

.

.

Angel couldn't find her father.

She heard the sound of water, opened the door slowly and went inside the washroom.....

She was shocked for a second seeing her father leaning onto the wall in the tub. His eyes were closed,

she went and touched his hand on the edge of the tub and shaked it....

When her daddy didn't wake up, angel ran to lakshmi's room.

Lakshmi was trying to sleep when angel barged in with tears and fear in her eyes. She pulled Lakshmi immediately towards their room saying ' papa papa ' and lakshmi ran picking up her pace as she understood that something is wrong with Alexander.

As soon as she entered Alexander's room , for a brief few seconds she couldn't see anything because of the darkness of this dark room.

She ran inside the washroom and saw him in the bath tub. She shivered looking at him and her legs didn't even move forward.

Pulling up herself, she looked away and said rose to take care of Ibbu as he is alone in room. Rose nodded and left after staring at her father for few more seconds with longingness.

Lakshmi looked around for a few seconds not knowing what to do. She can clearly see him in his boxers....

only boxers....

Tattoes all over his body made her shiver more.....with those trembling hands she touched his arm to only make him open his eyes.....
