To become a doctor was my dream since childhood and here I was, Dr Taysa Knight, a physiatrist.

I have just moved back from LA. I terribly missed my family there. As soon as I entered the house, I engulfed all of them in a big hug. Mom was so happy that she cried a bit. Dad, like always, kissed my forehead and welcomed me home.

The thing I was shocked about the most was that there was no sight of my beloved little brother.

"Where is Ash, mom?" I asked while looking around for him.

She smiled and said, "He's busy handling a meeting. Your father is being quite strict on him, you know"

"Serves him right. How can he miss my homecoming?" I huffed and sat down.

"He'll be here soon sunshine. Any minute now" dad said while glancing at his wrist watch.

Few minutes later, I heard my brother indeed. He was asking one of the maid if I was home or not. When she said yes, he cursed loudly before entering the living room.

As soon as he saw me, he smiled a sheepish smile and made his way towards me with open arms. I got up smiling at him but as soon as he reached me, I punched him hard on the stomach, earning a gasp from our mother.

That moron, acted like I've destroyed his internal system whereas I know he barely felt anything.

"Can you stop your nonsense?" I asked in a bored tone, raising my one eyebrow.

He stopped making stupid hurt noises and grinned at me like nothing happened. The next thing I realized, his hands were wrapped around me as he hugged me tightly. I returned the hug with same enthusiasm.

No matter how hard we fought but at the end of the day, we were siblings. I love him as much as he love me. And he might be younger than me but he's too very possessive of me. He protects me like he's the elder one.

"I missed you" he whispered.

"I missed you too" I smiled and he kissed my forehead.

After so much of talking we sat down and had a delicious dinner. Eating it with Family made it taste more delicious then ever. I talked non stop about LA while all of them listen to my every single word.

Mom suddenly asked me about boyfriend in excitement, when I saw both my father and brother got froze. They kept watching me firmly when I saw no, as if looking for the lie to be caught.

Mom lightly slapped my father's arm but he only smirked at her and leaned towards her for a kiss. Mom blushed like a school kid but returned his kiss.

I awed at them, clearly missing their love while staying in LA. I love them both very much and I adore them a lot. There is no doubt that my father is a very rough and tough man but when he's near us our mom, he forgot all anger and got lost in her beauty. Hearing her laugh can make him smile even in his worst mood.

She was the only one who can tame his beast.

Mom hasn't changed much with the age. In fact, she looked like a few years older version of me. At many gathering and functions, people often got confused on us being sisters.

After the dinner, I said good nights to everyone and went upstairs to my room. I took one long shower and dressed in my PJ.

When I was about to turn off the light, I saw Asher entering my room. I sat back on the bed and smiled at him.

"Hey" I said.

"Hi. Ready for bed?"

"Yes. I'm so tired with all traveling. What about you? You need something?"

"Umm...no. Well actually yes. I wanted one favour" he said nervously.

"Shoot" I asked getting curious.

"Well there's this party the day after tomorrow. It's basically a office meeting but there will a small celebration afterwards. I was thinking if you could join me?"

I was shocked. I stared at him for minutes. He sighed thinking I'll reject it. "It's okay. You can sle-"

"The great Asher Knight doesn't have a date?" I asked while smirking.

His nervousness was replaced by a murderous glare. But my smirk only widen up.

"I do have thousands of girls. I just don't to ask them. They are so clingy. Fuck. It annoys the hell out of me" he said. I laughed and patted his back.

"Don't worry little brother. I'll go with you. But you have to come with me tomorrow to hospital. I have to check some information and ask them from when I have to join"

"You got the job?" He asked jokingly.

"That's why I'm here, you idiot" I said and slapped his back head. He laughed and kissed my forehead.

"Sleep now. You need rest. Good night" saying this, he pulled up the covers and turn off the light.

"Good night Ash" I whispered.

"Welcome home Taysa" was the last thing I heard before drifting off to sleep.

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

I was getting ready for the party Asher had informed me about. I wore a red jumpsuit with knee length slits in front on both legs. Then I did my makeup and soon I was ready to go.

As I descend down the stairs, all eyes got focused on me. Mom smiled as brightly as ever and quickly gave me a warm hug. I smiled and returned it.

"You're looking marvelous, sunshine" she grinned.

"Thank you" I said while giggling. Dad came and kissed my forehead before complementing me.

Since Asher was already present at the party, I had to go by myself. Dad asked the guards to protect and then turned towards me.

"If any boy approaches you sunshine, just call Asher or any of the guards, okay? I'll make sure the guy won't get away alive" he said sternly.

"Lucifer!" Mom gasped at him. But he ignored her and raised his eyebrow at me. I laughed but nodded my head.

After saying bye to everyone, I got inside the car. Soon the driver took off. I smiled to myself thinking about Asher and dad's possessive side. It annoys me sometime but I adore it too. It make me feel safe.

It was not like no one approached me before. Many did but I politely denied each of them. They were nice but not for me. But I know I'll meet my match someday and when I'll meet him, I'm sure Asher and Dad will also accept him.

My trail of thoughts broke when the driver announced we have reached. Suddenly the door by my side opened and I saw my little brother standing there formally. He wore a blue suit, with a red suit handkerchief, matching my dress. He was looking good. Any girl can fall for him.

I smiled and placed my hand over his, getting out of the car. I thanked the driver before turning towards Asher.

"You are looking gorgeous" he complemented, "just like a pig". My smiled vanished and I punched him hard again. He laughed out loud and shield himself. Brothers never complement their sisters. It's like a universal truth.

"Moron" I huffed and made my way inside. I felt like I was being watched but I didn't paid much attention to it because I was pissed at my brother. He ran towards me quickly as we waited for the lift.

On reaching the party, he wrapped his arm around my waist possessively and glared at every soul watching us. I rolled my eyes. He introduced me to some elderly people.

After sometime, we made our way towards the bar. I ordered a glass of juice and he some hard drink.

"You stay here. I'll return in a few minutes" he said to me and walked away.

I felt the tingling effect again like someone was watching me and this time I turned to look around. I didn't got to see anyone that suspicious. I shrugged the thought and took out my phone to keep myself busy.

"Who might you be?" A deep voice came from behind which made me shiver. I turned around to see who was it and found myself speechless.

The man was tall and broad, looking not more than 26-27 years. He was dressed in light blue suit. His hairs were tossed around messily, enhancing his look. He was extremely handsome.

I frowned at him remembering the question he asked.

'Who are you to ask me who am I ?'

"I think you should introduce yourself first as you were the first one to approach" I said smiling sweetly.

His smirk turned into a glare, before again turning into a evil smirk.

"Smart mouth you got"

"Since childhood" I shrugged and turned to the bar again, completely ignoring him.

I felt his eyes on me for few minutes as I continued to drink my juice. It was hard not to squirm under his intense gaze but I controlled myself.

"You don't know me. Do you?" He asked in amused tone.

"Why? Should I?" I asked again facing him.

"Hmm. You should. After all, it's me who we are talking about" he said in a self boosted tone. Full with arrogance and ego.

"Cocky much?" I asked raising my one eyebrow.

He was about to say something again when Asher returned. I sighed in relief. He smiled at me apologizing, but stopped when he noticed Mr arrogant in front of me. He frowned and glared at him.

"What is he doing here?" He asked once he reached my side.

"Nothing. Just boosting his self ego" I shrugged.

"Let's go" he grabbed my hand and pulled me up from my seat.

"Oh she's with you. I was wondering how can a girl like her can be alone" Mr Arrogant said from behind. Asher stopped walking and turned towards him with clenched jaw. My eyes widened up and I stopped him from doing anything stupid.

I rubbed his arm up and down in soothing manner and asked him to calm down.

"Stay away from her" he said in a low threatening voice. I kept my hands rubbing his arm but it stopped when I heard what Mr Arrogant said next.

"You think I'll go after her? I don't care about whores like her. And you being a manwhore yourself, shouldn't ask me to stay away from girls" he mocked. I froze in shock.

'What did he just said?'

I looked up at Asher and saw his eyes were dark with rage. He clenched his fist and was about to punch that idiot when I stopped him.

I went to a waiter standing nearby and took a glass of red wine and walked to him elegantly. I sweetly smiled up at him. A little too sweetly.

"Do you know Mister, that stain of red wine doesn't go that easily?...." I asked in a sweet voice. Till now people were turning towards us and watching us curiously. Some even started whispering.

'Perfect '

"...Well you'll find out that soon" saying this, I throw the red wine at his face and suit. Everyone gasped out loud as I glared at him. He was too shocked to move. So I continued, "and on the bright side, see you had a new shade on the suit in the memory of today's wonderful evening". A sarcastic remark was enough to make that statue move.

I again smiled sarcastically and turned around towards my brother, who was smirking proudly at me.

"Have a wonderful night everyone" he mocked and wrapped his arm around me while we both walked out.

Little did I know, the person soaked in wine only smirked and mumbled to himself "You're gonna be mine, tigress. Soon. Very soon"
