Chapter 2

 Chapter 1

The man in his early thirties stood near the window of his hotel room watching over the garden below where the party was thrown to celebrate his so-called "Mama and Mami's wedding anniversary". 

A cynical smile came across his face as he saw his mama sitting around with a group of businessmen trying to gain at least some sort of importance and his aunt sat with a bunch of ladies no doubt boasting and showing off her newest jewellery collection.

His eyes roamed and settled on Aaryan his cousin brother and an only child of his uncle and aunt. He was as usual was flirting with a bunch of ladies, it remains to be seen who will go with him at the end of the day.

His sister Ishani was dancing with her new boy toy Sunny and his adopted sister Siya was with their grandmother chatting.

That left two people who were missing from the party his stepmother Anupriya and his most loyal companion/friend Aangrey, well he knew whereabouts of one of them. 

Aangrey was at present in one of the hotel rooms torturing an employee who thought it was wise to leak information on his business deal to his opponent and he was certain that in no time Aangrey will get that information for him. It was his job and he is best at it. 

He saw his stepmother emerging from one of the hotel buildings and went to join his aunt and after some time a man emerged from the same building tried to comb his hair and left to meet his friends, well it seems his stepmother has started a new affair...

"What are you looking at that interests you more than me?" came a feminine voice as he felt hands come around from his back and play with the knots of his bathing robe which were tied at the front. He turned to look at Mrs.Nayesha Gupta a lady in her late 40's looking at him seductively with just a bedsheet wrapped around her body.

"Nothing just looking after my family" was his indifferent reply

"Oh really! anything that holds your interest?" He looked at her carefully, took a sip of whiskey from his glass and replied "yes, in fact, I just saw your husband and my stepmom emerging from a same hotel building and probably same room.

"Oh" came a reply.

He gave her a bitter smile and said but of course you knew, and you thought it would be fun if both of us... It was not a question, but the statement, the tone of his voice made nayesha uneasy. She tried to recover herself as she gave a nervous smile and said, "are you angry?" She started playing with his knots again trying to look coy.

"Hardly I know my family well enough to not get surprised at any point of time now"

"So, come we can surely have one more round she said in a sultry voice and dropped the sheet around her body.

He stood there staring at her before he replied "No... I have some work to do and anyway this was just a little break from the party, hope you understand" saying this got dressed quickly.

As he reached the door and was about to exit, she asked hopefully "can we meet again?"

He smirked as he said, "I don't like repeats" and left the room.

She stared at the door for good five minutes with her mouth agape before she started to get dressed to join the party. Well she had heard rumours about him being a jerk and today she experienced it first hand, but when she got an opportunity to spend time with him and for once he showed a little bit of interest in her, why would she miss such a chance. After all, even though he was a jerk, he was best in bed.

As soon as Aangrey entered the party he made a beeline to his boss, who in turn excused himself from his associates and joined him.

"Work is done! Actually, it did not require many efforts, I just warned him about how unpleasant it will be if he withheld the information" Aangrey gave a cruel smile.

"And...?"

"And we have reversed the situation, tomorrow Mehta's will get a shock of his life. I have made sure the betrayer won't show his face again" replied Aangrey.

"Good...now make sure dadi and siya reach home safely, others can take care of themselves"

"Sure boss"

Aangrey saw his boss leave, he knew tomorrow is very important for his boss. Vansh was after this deal since last one year. They can't afford it if anything go wrong. he sighed and headed towards dadi and siya.

"Vansh?" as soon as he reached them dadi questioned

"Left" was his only response to which he saw the old woman's eyes filled with sorrow.

 He wondered how come she is not used to her grandson's eccentric behaviour till now, When it is continuing for so many years, this is not something new. His sister Siya patted her grandmother's hand who herself was quite sad. Maybe he could not understand this considering he was an orphan and the closest thing to a friend/family he has was Vansh. His other family members were less said the better.

"Boss ordered me to take you both home, do you want to stay more or...?"

"No...we will come" replied siya and they left the party.

Ishani saw them leaving and glared at Aangrey's back. “Of course,” she thought "Siya and Aangrey deserve each other, bloody orphans". Ishani could never understand why it always bothered her that Aangrey always dropped Siya home, it was not like he took her home alone dadi is with them all the time but still, she didn't like it…
