Akash stared at Meera in surprise, "Why'd you do that?"Meera rolled her eyes at him, "Why wouldn't I? You just lost everything. My whole plan is ruined because of your silly mistake and you ask why I pushed you? Pfft." She scoffed as she stepped closer to him."Looking at you right now, I see no difference between that miserable Arjun and you." She added.Akash racked his brain trying to figure out how to respond to Meera's change in behavior. "Meera! You really compare me to your ex because of my business decline? I thought you loved me, so you were only after the Maratha industries?"Meera's lips curved into an evil smile, "Love? You have to be joking. Nothing matters to me more than money and power and since you failed in helping me get what I want, I might as well just get rid of you already. You're useless to me."Akash's brows clanked without his realization, "What do you mean by that?" "It's over Akash, I'm breaking up with you." These words hit Akash so hard that he felt hi

Rohan quickly picked up the files, "uh nothing I was just making sure they were complete." Arjun didn't buy his excuse, his suspicion started growing. Rohan was definitely up to something."Complete? Were any of the papers missing?" "No..I mean yes …what I meant was I was just checking if the papers were intact, you know? Making sure everything is in order." Rohan stuttered, trying to make the perfect excuse.Arjun was no fool. He could see through Rohan, good enough to understand he was lying right now. Rohan tried to change the topic before silence filled the room, "aren't you supposed to be at the meeting? Why are you out here so soon?" Arjun walked into the office, his right hand tucked into his pants. He didn't stop walking until he got to his seat, "Meeting postponed." "Ah…I see. Well now that you don't have any work, why don't you just go through these sorted files? This one needs your signatures on them." Rohan said, extending the same file to Arjun.Arjun took the file f

The attention of everyone in the hall turned in the direction of the voice.“Who are you?” Darmesh questioned“Come on stage Purab.” Arjun ordered.In few walks, Purab joined Arjun on stage.“Mr Purab here is a trained detective. I started suspecting Rohan few days ago when he tampered with my files. Since then, he helped me monitor rohan’s movement. So i’ll let him do the talking.” Arjun gave way for Purab to present his evidence.Rogan's body produced more sweat than normal. He looked so jittery at the moment but he knew better than trying to exit the event.“And that video shows how Mr Rohan created a fake profile to deceive Mr Arjun. This was his last plan. to tell him about some investor who was willing to invest in Nexumcore with a hundred million dollars, get Mr Arjun interested and then secure ownership to Maratha industries while pretending to be business partners with him.”Mr purab’s last words put everyone in silence. “They were right when they said never to trust a book

“Ah!” Rohan cried as he regained balance on his feet. He turned to see who threw the vase and his eyes met an enraged Meera. Meera threw another vase but Rohan dodged it.“Have you gone crazy? What are you trying to do? How’d you even get here? ”Rohan asked all at once in annoyance. Meera pulled him by the collar, “Yes i have gone crazy. Give me my money! I know you’ve hidden it somewhere so you can have it all to yourself and i’m willing to spare a few dollars, just give me my money! I’ll be ruined if you don’t give it back.”Rohan pushed her away, freeing himself from her grip. “I already told you i don’t have any money with me okay? Stop bothering me already.” Meera trembled in fear, her hands were shaky. “No no no, this can’t be happening. This certainly cannot happen! My life, my career, my status... All of it! It’s gone! No!” She fell on her knees in tears.Rohan threw an irritated look at her. “Stop overreacting okay? You’re not the only one who incurred losses okay? I was g

Meera raised her hand to strike Arjun but he caught her hand mid air."You want to hit me? Try it again and I'll make sure your arms are disconnected from their sockets." He threatened, his voice sharp.Arjun flinged her hand away from his, throwing them in the officers direction. "Take her away. And make sure she never steps her feet in this premises again." Meera was enraged, "You dare to treat me like this? I'll make you pay Arjun. I promise to ruin you." Arjun scoffed, "Empty threats. Do your job guys." Meera glared at the officers who gripped her arms immediately, "Hey, I demand you let me go! Who gave you the right to touch me like this? If you don't let me go, I swear I'll arrest you two." Arjun heard her voice fade away as he got into the car. He seemed unstoppable at the moment, he had the wealth and power he needed to deal with whoever was bold enough to go against him.The head to Maratha industries…He finally got the recognition he had been trying to avoid and now he

Riya was beyond surprised, “How's that even possible? He can't even afford expensive clothes and he's the owner of such a boutique? Tell me another joke.” She scoffed.Miss Arya smiled as she moved closer to Riya, “Why'd you think the customers gasped from the news on their phone? I saw everything. That's why they all went quiet, look around.” Riya surveyed the room, her gaze darting from person to person.She was right. Riya moved her gaze back to the woman in front of her, she was at a loss for words.Seeing the situation, Miss Arya shook her head in disappointment.“You should never judge a book by its cover, Miss Riya. You talked so rudely to my boss and now I'm afraid I'll have to…” “Miss Arya.” Arjun's sharp voice cut in.“I'll handle it myself.” With a quick clap, Arjun ordered the officers and his secretary to leave.Riya's face grew pale from the embarrassment. She was shocked at the turn of events, she bit her lower lip hard in regret.“You wanted to embarrass me didn't you

Riya dropped her phone in surprise, "Nothing!" She responded in a sing song tone.Bani narrowed her eyes at Riya, "Didn't look like nothing. Tell me what you were doing here." Riya rolled her eyes, "Hey you're just a cleaner here okay? So act like it. Now get on with your work before I'm forced to hit you."Bani glared at her, "You didn't have to be so rude. I'm sure you're up to something silly, that's why you were so startled. Hmph." "Yeah whatever. Now get out!" Riya roared, gesturing towards the door. Bani left, washed over by embarrassment."Stupid girl. She made me drop my phone. I hope it's okay." Riya said as she picked up phone.***********"You always have a bad habit of never arriving on time." Riya didn't let the approaching man get to her before scolding him."Ugh, come on. I was on set. Besides, I'm only ten minutes late." Krish removed his sunshades as he got to her.Riya turned away from him with crossed arms, "Still. You should apologize." Krish massaged his foreh

Arjun frowned after reading the message, he dropped his phone, moving his hand towards the landline."Report to my office immediately." Arjun ordered, clocking the landline in position almost immediately.Rahul opened the door, "Here I am sir.""Find out what's going on in hall B at eight thirty right now." Arjun instructed.Rahul made a few scrolls through his phone and found the answer, "A huge party. A lot of people would be attending. And there are..""Who's the host?" Arjun cut in.Rahul went through his phone again, "Some man named Krish Tandan. He's celebrating the success of the new movie he featured in. Oh and there's a co host." Arjun hummed, "Who?" "Riya.. Riya Verma." Rahul said.A smirk creeped upon Arjun's face, "Cancel whatever I have scheduled for eight thirty. I have something else to handle.""But sir, you.." Rahul said.********"Babe, look over there. He came! I can't wait to see him get a phobia attack when this place gets rowdy." Riya whispered behind Krish's e

"Nowhere…we were just..going to the toilet." Haider said."Yes yes." Sam added."The restroom is that way but you two were heading towards the exit. Now come with me." Arjun's man pulled Sam and Haider back to the party."Krish, what is this? So you don't only plot in acting but now in reality? I'm disappointed." Mr Norman scolded.Krish lowered his head, overwhelmed by disgrace. "Mr director, I…I promise it's not like that. That man up there embarrassed my girl. I just wanted to help her get back at him." "So stupid of you." Mr Norman retorted."He was busy defending his girl as If he didn't plan the whole thing with her. Man took his acting job personal." Manav, a jealous colleague scorned at Krish."Riya is such a wicked person. Who would try to use someone's illness against them? That's such a lowly act."

Krish halted in his tracks immediately and turned slowly."You're not escaping from here so easily. You'll pay for your crimes, foolish man." Krish's eyes reddened in anger as his eyes met Manav's.A policeman walked over to Krish, putting him on handcuffs too."I'll get back at you for this."

How are you doing today?"Arjun pursed his lips, "You said we are friends right? So why are you still so formal with me?" Zara's lip curved into a half smile, "Apologies. It just sounds so odd for me to address you informally, you know? Especially wh
