That man took out his strong leather belt to beat the other man who was lying on the ground. Then suddenly someone caught him from behind.
"Boss! Control kijiye...aise yeh marjaayega, aur ye uske liye aasaan maut hogi. Aap jayiye, main handle kar lunga sab."
"Theek h Aangre, bas yaad rakhna iski saza aisi honi chahiye ki naa ise maut mile aur naa hi zindagi." He patted Aangre's shoulder and left from there but not before giving a death glare to the already dying man.
As per his boss's order, Aangre instructed the guards to take that man to there hideout where he is he going to experience the living hell.
On the other hand, Vansh got into the car and the driver who was waiting for his boss since 4-5 hours drove back to the VR mansion.
Lighting his cigarette, he looked out of the car window, and he saw a couple walking on the sidewalk holding each other's hands.... looking at them, it seemed like they love each other very much. He also needs someone like this in his life whom he can love endlessly and the other person should do the same...but his bad luck that he never got true and faithful love from anyone and those who truly loved him also left him....but then also he was determined that he will find his love soon and then she will be his only.
4 years later
At Mehra industries
In her cabin, Riddhima was sitting on the leather couch and was sipping her coffee with her eyes fixed on the laptop screen.
Physically she was the same Riddhima that was four years ago. The same short heighted but prettiest girl, same big doe eyes, plump cheeks and lips....all were same but mentally she was totally different. She changed herself for good. She buried the chirpy, joyous, carefree self deep down her current arrogant, bossy and cold hearted self.
Someone knocked at the door,
"Who is there?" She asked.
"Ma'am me, Raj." The other person replied.
(Raj works in Mehra industries as an assistant manager)
"Good morning Ma'am."
"Hm, Mr. Agrawal se meeting fixed hui?"
"Ma'am, vo actually abhi apni family ke sath vacation par gaye hain, to..."
"Raj, tumhe pata h naa ye mera dream project h aur tum bilkul bhi serious nahi lag rahe. Aage se agar koi bhi mistake hui to tum agle din se office mein nahi dikhoge. Now go and do something worthy....."
Raj nodded and left from there as soon as he can coz he didn't wanted all of her anger out on him.
Riddhima was little frustrated as she is not getting a suitable land for her next project that is also her dream project, 'Blue paradise Resort and Club' though only first stage planning is done yet she decided the name of the Resort.
She picks up the file lying on her office desk started checking the details of a land that was suggested by a broker.
"Oh God! Yeh bhi sahi nahi lag raha.." She held her head in frustration.
Then suddenly someone again knocked the door. After Riddhima gave the permission, a girl who was probably in her mid twenties entered with a pile of files..
"Riddhima mam, I have got all the information about the lands which were shortlisted. See, they are more than 25..." Mishti said excitedly.
Riddhima glared at her over chirpy behaviour. Once, she was like that too but then something happened and her behaviour changed drastically. As she witnessed how this world is in real.
"Mishti, you have to keep these files at your desk...not in my cabin." Riddhima said while trying to be as calm as she can.
"Sorry mam..aaj kal itna kaam dete ho aap ki mein aur sab bhul jaati hu.." Mishti replied and in middle only realised that she did a blunder.
(Mishti is Riddhima's assistant and a sweet happy go lucky girl)
Riddhima asked her to immediately move out of her cabin as she was already having a headache and talking with Mishti will surely increase it.
" Mam, office hours are about to get over, may I go." Ignoring what all Riddhima told her Mishti asked it in a single breath.
Riddhima observed the clock and realised that she have to leave early today as her father has to discuss something important.
"Hmm..." She said while standing up and then quickly collected her things.
At Mehra Mansion
There was a pin drop silence in the study room despite the presence of all the members of the house.
Arjun said breaking the silence, " Dad, aisi bhi kya baat h ki aap ne sabko yaha bulaya h aur ab kuch bol bhi nahi rahe."
Vikram replied in serious tone, "Our company's shares were falling and and after the withdrawal of shares by 2-3 investors our company was not in good state... So in order to avoid our company getting bankrupt....I.."
"What??" Riddhima and Arjun suddenly shouted in union before letting Vikram to finish what he was saying while Dhruv was just staring his father with a shocked face.
"Dad! You never discussed with me about anything related to this.. why?" Riddhima said in disbelief.
"I thought I will solve this by by own but things didn't worked out in a right way... Now you all don't have to worry...I have got a new investor for our company and he is going to join us after 2 days." Vikram sighed.
"How much percent of shares he bought?" Arjun asked quickly.
"49% of total."
"Dad, this is too much. How can you do this? Mehra family did so much to build it and you...(he sighed) now we have to listen to his consent too and on top of that we'll also lose some of our rights..." Arjun replied annoyingly.
"This is final... I even signed contract with him. No ifs and buts."
Riddhima and Arjun made a face.
"Dad! What is his name?" Dhruv asked with curiosity.
"Vansh Raisinghania" Vikram replied and left from there immediately after wishing good night, followed by others.
Riddhima reached her room and went for a quick night shower. After 15 minutes, she came out of the bathroom and saw Sita standing with the food tray.
"Mujhe kuch nahi khana h...aap bhi jaake rest kijiye raat ho gayi h." She said instantly without waiting for her to ask or say anything.
Sita left because she knew that Riddhima was no longer the same old one whom she could force feed.
Riddhima was sitting on her favourite egg swing chair in the balcony. A round table was there near to the swing chair, on top of that 3 Vodka shots glasses were kept. She took one and drank it in a one go. She was frustrated, disappointed, sad...the reason was not only related to their business but his father too. They are a happy family in front of the world but only she knows what they are in real. They all live in the same house but like strangers. Except Dhruv, no one even bothers to ask about her health or something else and now Dhruv is also busy with his career. She was feeling conjusted in this world where no one loves her in the way she wants...but now at this point of life she knows that thinking about soulmates and all will do nothing because such a person is not there in her destiny.
But little did she know that someone is going to enter her life and will change many things for good and will love her truely, deeply, madly.
And she drank another shot with her mind occupied by negative thoughts only....She is not some alcohol addict or drink everyday but only when she is upset or had a stressful day or in parties.
Innumberable thoughts were running in her mind. For once she thought what if Aditya bhaiya was right and his father will just use her for business profit and will never give any authority to her. She know she is overreacting a bit but she also has some insecurities. Dismissing those thoughts, she started thinking about the new investor 'Vansh Raisinghania', she Googled him immediately....
"He seems to be ok..." She thought looking at his pic in an article.
After reading few articles about Vansh she decided to disperse all the thoughts and to sleep...but unfortunately it was far away as she was upset from her father and her loveless life too.
Two days later,
Today Riddhima got late as she spend the whole night in searching about her new project.
Now she is about to reach her office but her mind is still occupied by her conversation of yester night with her bhabhi.. she is missing her and Anya so much. When she got to know 3 and a half years back that they were shifting in Houston, Texas she felt it will be easy for her because at that time she was busy with someone else......but then she thought, thinking about those things is useless as she cannot do anything, suddenly she remembers that today Mr. Raisinghania is coming. She wasn't so happy or excited but then also she wanted to meet him to find out what is so special in him that her Dad is impressed by him so much.
She reached her office and saw some girls in the corridor who were talking or better say gossiping something making a group.
"What you all are doing here in the office hours? All of you go and do your respective work." She said in an authorative tone. All the girls left immediately, just then she saw Mishti also standing there. She asked, " What were you doing with them? I have told you to adjust everything in my office before I come and instead of doing your work you were gossiping..." Riddhima said angrily.
"Sorry mam, Sir instructed me to call you immediately that's why I was going to ask the receptionist about you but before that only those girls stopped me. And I also wanted to know about whom they were talking so I stopped there..." Mishti replied while fiddling with her fingers.
"Did Mr. Raisinghania arrived?"
"Yes maam, and one girl even told me that he looks very handsome....she saw him at your father's cabin."
Riddhima gave her a 'she can never change' look and left towards her father's cabin.
"Good morning dad, and sorry I am late today. Where is that new investor?" R said in a single go.
"Till when you'll disappoint me Riddhima? This is his first day with us and you are late today, despite telling you several times you didn't payed attention..." Vikram almost shouted on her.
"Dad! Aapko nahi pata ki main kyu late hui to aap kaise bol sakte h aur rahi baat Mr. Raisinghania ki to mujhe koi fark nahi padta ki koi mere baare mein kya sochta h." She spattted back. She is pissed at him as for her all about he care is business and fame.
"You are taking it in a wrong way.. anyways..leave it.....Vansh is waiting for you in your cabin, go and meet him." Vikram said controlling his anger.
Her look,

She left immediately from there and when she reached her cabin she realised someone is already present in there. He was tall and his back was facing her. As soon as she entered he turned around. For a moment she was freezed and started thinking that, "He looks more handsome in real than in those pics and his dark brown orbs are intimidating, he has perfect jaw line and his black suit...Oh no! What I am thinking..I am not a teenager who will drool over him...." Her thoughts were interrupted by a husky voice,
His look,

"Hey beautiful.." Vansh said with a bright smile.
"Hello Mr. Raisinghania..this is Riddhima Mehra." Riddhima replied in a professional tone.
"I know... I mean I guessed it."
"Hnn, Dad told me to assist you in checking all the files related to our upcoming projects...so I think we should begin our work."
"Itni jaldi? Maine to aapki kubsoorati ko abhi tak sahi se dekha bhi nahi..." Vansh replied with a flirtatious smile.
"Excuse me..." Riddhima shrunched her eyebrows.
"I mean to say ki abhi to maine aap aur aapke kaam ko sahi se jaana bhi nahi h." He said with a sly smile. "Before starting my work I need to do an office tour, and vese bhi it's your responsibility only to accampay me."
"Yeah...I..ah..ok, I will take you to the ground floor first. Aayiye." She said with a fake smile and turned towards the door and rolled her eyes with irritation.
