The chapter was long. So it is divided in half to make it less costly. Thank you for reading :)
New York,"DROP THIS CASE OR ELSE YOU WON’T LIKE THE CONSEQUENCES"Mishka read the text from the private number and smirked, “Bloody cowards!” She muttered, slamming her mobile on the desk and her assistant flinched.“What’s wrong?” She asked, peeking into her mobile, and her eyes went wide.“Omg! The threatening message again? This is the third time since you’ve taken this rape and murder case,” the Assistant said and Mishka rubbed her face.“They think I’ll back out,” She smirked, wearing her eyeglasses back when she heard her assistant saying.“You really should!”Mishka knitted her brows, “What?? You can’t be serious!! I will not leave this case at any cost,” She declared.“This case is getting media attention day by day. Will you take risk appearing at the court?” The assistant asked and Mishka wandered back in the memories when she saw Christian’s picture with Andrea.“He has moved on! I don’t need to worry if they find out about me. But what if they try to take Kiara,” Mishka w
Luke was waiting for William in his office when his assistant informed him about the latter’s arrival and the next minute William walked in. “Hey!” Luke greeted.“Hey!!” Willian took a seat opposite him and sighed.“What would you like to have?” Luke asked.“Tea,” William said, and Luke ordered two cups of tea through the intercom.“So what was so urgent that you wanted to meet me today?” Luke asked and William forwarded the file.Luke took the file from him. “What’s this?” He opened the file and his eyes went wide.“You got the land deal!!!” He said and William gave a proud smile.“Impressive, I was waiting to crack this land deal, but you won, Congratulations!” He said, closing the file giving it back to him. “This calls for a celebration.”William nodded. “But I am not here to show you my success. I am here to make an amazing deal.” William said, and Luke knitted his eyebrows.“What deal?” He asked in an uncertain voice.“That day I heard your and Vera’s conversation in the study r
It was a lunch break at the school when Eric came to meet Kiara in the junior wing and found her sitting alone on the bench in the garden. Eric noticed Kiara’s unhappy face and sat beside her. “What’s wrong?” He asked, “Mom refused to give you a personal phone?” Kiara nodded with a downward curve on her lips, “But that’s not what I am thinking about,” She said. “So what is it? You fought with someone again?” He asked with an amused expression on his face and Kiara darted her eyes in his direction. “Come on, Big B!! You’re saying as if I only fight with everyone. You all are so bad,” She pouted, looking away, her eyes turned misty and Eric found something wrong with her as it’s difficult to make his sister cry. “Hey... Hey!! What happened? Did anyone say something to you? Look here,” He said, but when she didn’t respond, he changed his position, and came to sit on the other side of the bench and forced her to look at him. “What happened?” He asked. “Where is our daddy?” She snappe
London,“Andrea, calm down,” Leena said as Andrea was furiously walking back and forth, frustrated with her father’s action.“Calm down? What Christian must be thinking about me? What will Uncle Luke think about me? What will Knights think about us??” She shot a series of questions and sat on the couch with a thump, holding her head in her hand. “Oh, my God!!”“Calm down, sweetie. You’re overreacting,” Leena said calmly, and Andrea removed her hand from her face to glare at her.“Overreacting??” Andrea asked, arching an eyebrow at her mother.“Yes, it’s common in our world. Even I and your dad’s marriage was an arrangement by our family. Your dad was in a relationship with another woman and I had a boyfriend, but both of us compromised for our families and see where we are today. We are happily married. We are one of the top ten business families in London. What do we need more? It’s common in business families.” Leena said.“But do you and dad actually love each other?” Andrea asked
Knight Mansion,Everyone was sitting in the living area with tea in their hands when Vera broke the news about Jake. “What??” Leo screeched.“Yes, and he left a message that he doesn’t want to have any relationship with us. We all can consider him dead. He is out to restart his life and he doesn’t want his past to meddle,” Vera repeated the cop’s words and everyone turned silent.“This is so similar,” Rose said, and every set of eyes turned in her direction. “Mishka didn’t give us a chance to talk to her before leaving, and Jake did the same. He, too, doesn’t want to have any ties with us and both left without leaving any traces behind. What is happening?”“The cop got a call from someone, a woman was inquiring about Jake. I tried to ask him, but the cop declined to give any information,” Vera said.“It could be Jessica?” Rose guessed.“Or maybe Mishka!” Leo rubbed his stubble when the door burst open and Daniel walked in. He briefly glanced at them, but instead of joining, he ran up
Danny and Maya were standing at the London Bridge. There was a long silence between them. Maya thought Danny would understand her silence and will speak himself, but now it looked like he would not break the ice between them even if they stand there all night.“Are you going to say something?” She asked him while her eyes were pinned on the cruise on the Thames river.“Yeah, that cruise looks beautiful. I think we should get married on a cruise or you want to get married as per Indian culture or maybe we can get married as per Pakistani culture. You know my grandpa has origins from Pakis….” Before Danny could continue ranting, Maya cut him off.“Who is Andrea?” She snapped at him.“Daughter of William Donovan?” He said, a mild mocking in his tone.“Danny, I will kill you and throw your body in the Thames,” She threatened him, but he laughed in response, looking at her flushed face.“Oh.. no, you can’t make yourself widow,” He jested again and Maya took a deep breath to compose her rag
“I am glad you decided to take my case,” Nikhil said to Mishka as she signed the papers. They needed to submit to the court so that she could appear as their company lawyer. They were currently sitting in Nikhil’s office and Riya appeared with a pile of files in her hand.“I hope you’ll tackle the media. I am not comfortable with them,” Mishka said, looking at him through her rectangular eyeglasses.“Don’t worry about them. You won’t face any trouble. However, you’ve already planned out everything smartly and I don’t need to do anything, but I’ll make sure everything falls into place.” He said while Riya took the seat opposite him beside Mishka.Mishka nodded, “Okay, I’ll take my leave.” She picked up her bag as she stood up when Nikhil spoke again.“I’ll transfer the money right away,”“Oh no! We haven’t won the case yet,” Mishka said.“I trust you and I am sure you’ll make me win,” Nikhil countered.Mishka smiled, showing off her dimples, “This is blind trust, Mr Khanna, and it only
The manager of the local eatery introduced Aryan to fellow staff. “Okay, Aryan, Stella will show you around and help you understand how we work. I hope you’ll have a great time here,” The manager said and left Aryan with a girl in her late twenties. “Wear this,” She forwarded a blue apron in his direction and Aryan quickly wore it. Stella looked at Aryan from top to bottom, and he looked from a decent background. “Pocket money?” She asked and Aryan looked at her, confused. “Huh!” Aryan knitted his eyebrow. “You’re doing this for pocket money?” She asked. “Oh, no! I need some money to enrol myself for a course so I thought to do some part-time job to support it,” He replied and Stella nodded. “Okay, let’s start!” *** Knight Mansion, It was past lunchtime, but no one had an appetite. They were just sitting in the living area, silently trying to sink in Mishka’s death news, when Christian walked in. He walked to them and the atmosphere of the room felt like they were mourning ov
