Roshini’s P.O.V."Come inside, Myra. Stop staring at me with the door open." I tried to act all cool, but inside, my whole body was doing somersaults!She gazed at me for a few moments before stepping inside and locking the door. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath to brace myself for her inevitable questions."What the hell are you wearing? And what were you doing?" She interrogated, approaching me and scrutinizing me from head to toe, her face still flushed with embarrassment."Babe, I was feeling a bit itchy down there," I lied, to save my ass. If I confessed to what I had actually been doing, she would have definitely kicked me out of the room, in just my panties and bra. I knew my bestie well."Ohhh... It must be some infection. I have some V wash. Go use it, you'll feel better," she suggested, her voice filled with concern, but my eyes widened in horror as Kabir burst into laughter over the phone.Shit.Myra and I exchanged wide-eyed glances. I hastily switched off my phone,
Zayn’s P.O.V."Zayn, are you ready?" Kabir asked on the call as I stood wearing my black tuxedo with a black shirt.After returning to the room from the garden, I took a hot shower to try to divert my mind from everything.Now it was around 9:30 a.m., and I was all set to leave. Today was very important to me. In the meeting, I would finally confront that rascal Oberoi.We had everything planned; now all we had to do was wait and see how he would approach me. My blood was already boiling at the thought of him. Today, I would finally meet him, and I already had an urge to kill him right there. But no, I decided to wait. I would kill him, but slowly and steadily, making him beg."Yes," I replied. Kabir and Marco were already waiting for me in Pune, with the meeting scheduled for around 11."Don't be late," Kabir teased, and I knew where he was going with that."It's an important day, Kabir. Very important," I replied before ending the call.Exhaling deeply, I reminded myself to stay foc
Zayn’s P.O.V.As I headed to the airport after confronting my enemy, I was consumed by rage. The person who had shattered my life was living freely, and I couldn’t allow him to find peace, not anymore.My mind churned with the intensity of my fury towards him. He had been within arm’s reach, and I had yearned to end him, to make him suffer.“Relax, Zayn. Please. I understand your feelings. I feel the same, but we need to stay composed.” Kabir said, placing his hand on my shoulder, sitting beside me in the car backseat.“I wanted to kill him, Kabir. Brutally.” I confessed, my gaze burning with fury.“I understand, man. I feel the same. But today, everything unfolded just as we expected,” he replied, and I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself.The meeting and the after-party had proceeded smoothly, and as we had planned, Oberoi himself had approached me regarding the Pune branch of the hotel we intended to open.Well, why wouldn't he? Getting a partnership with a number one billionaire
Kabir’s P.O.V.Zayn and I were heading towards his room, both of us seething with anger towards the culprit who had dared to steal the file.Zayn was striding ahead, his steps quickened by his fury, and I hurried to keep pace with him, but out of nowhere, someone yanked me into a corner, leaving me completely shocked.Then, my eyes fell on a person standing in front of me with a smiling face.It was Roshini."You're here? Damn. Was the whole 24 hours of no chatting and calling just an act? You came all this way for me?" She exclaimed, her smile widening, catching me off guard.I opened my mouth to explain that her assumptions were incorrect, but she didn't let me speak."Was I so irresistible that you couldn't resist?" She teased, raising an eyebrow as she flashed a mischievous grin."Rosh-"Before I could finish my sentence, she pressed her lips against mine, pulling me closer by my collar, leaving me stunned. I forgot everything as I responded to the kiss, gripping her waist and pu
Zayn’s P.O.V. I entered the room and my heart pierced as I saw her sobbing, sitting on the edge of the bed. I don’t know what I’m going to say to her, and I don’t know how to console her. I’ve never talked softly with anyone, so I don’t know how to say sweet things to cheer someone up. However, seeing her, I want to do something for her. I desperately want to do something that might bring a smile to her face or stop the tears she is shedding, which are piercing my heart. Shaking my thoughts away, I took a few steps closer to her. “Myr- Myra—” As she looked at me, she stood up immediately in fright, making my heart ache. I didn’t want her to be afraid of me. Never! I approached her and gently cupped her face with my palms. She was looking down, but as soon as my palm touched her, she slowly lifted her hazel eyes to meet mine. We kept staring at each other, but her eyes continued to shed tears, which made me feel even more guilty. “Hey, please don’t cry. You look beautiful
Zayn’s P.O.V.“King, I think we should back out now. I don’t think it’s safe to go inside. We’ve lost 90% of our men. I’m pretty sure that we have some rats in our group, and we need to figure that out first.” I clenched my fists, suppressing the urge to kill Marco upon listening to his words. If he were not my right hand, he would be dead by now.“King—” He halted, catching sight of my face, now reddened by anger. He gulped down his saliva and apologised, taking a step back.Good!I knew he served as my second-in-command, but it didn’t grant anyone the privilege of giving me suggestions.No one could tell the Russian Mafia how to execute their tasks. No one.“I’m being generous towards you, Marco, to keep you alive.” I glared at him. “And always remember that I’m the King of Russia who never backs out of his mission. I’ll make it happen once I decide something.” I declared in a stern voice, leaving no room for argument. He just nodded, looking down, feeling scared and ashamed.I roam
Myra's P.O.V“I’m sorry, sir.” I murmured, my voice hardly heard as I lowered my gaze to the floor.“Your apology will not change the fact that you caused us a loss, Myra.” The manager of the hotel, where I worked in the housekeeping department, growled through gritted teeth. His voice echoed through the room, causing me to tremble in fear.My heart raced, and I trembled in fear as memories of past traumas flashed through my mind.“Just because you have been one of our punctual employees, we forgive you. However, you must repay the amount.” He continued in a serious tone.His every word sent shivers down my spine, returning me to a time when voices like his had struck me with terror.I nodded, trembling, unable to find the words to respond. I stood there, paralyzed by fear as he glared at me.“Now clean up the mess you made, and the rest of you, is there a movie playing? Get lost.” He barked, and I jumped, hearing the loud voice, which made others laugh at me.I bit my lip, fighting b
Zayn’s P.O.V."How is he doing, doctor?" I asked, clutching the phone, trying hard to control my emotions.I couldn't fall weak. I couldn't!"He's still the same, King." I closed my eyes, hearing the response, which I had a clue about, but every time my heart wanted it to be different. I didn't want to face it again."Take care of him." After saying this, I quickly hung up the phone and wiped the lone tear that was trying to escape my eyes without my permission."I know whatever I say won't make you feel any better, but like I always say, I'll repeat it. You're not alone in this. You know that, right?" As I heard Kabir's words, a faint smile spread across my face. He placed his hand on my shoulder from behind, hoping for a response.After turning around, I responded, giving him a sad smile. "I know, Kabir." He just stared at me for a good ten seconds before engulfing me in a hug. I closed my eyes, almost falling weak, and hugged him to gather some courage.Kabir and I had been best fr
