Beast and the wild cat /CHAPTER 1 A&B on page 3 / 11th March

Manik's POV-

I was working in my office looking at the pictures of the photo shoot that was conducted by me when my phone rang.

"Hello." I answered it in my all time arrogant and cold voice.

"Good morning Sir, Alya here. Sir your work has been done. She is ready to do the photo shoot... a bridal photo shoot to be more accurate." She informed me calmly and I smirked.

I knew she would fall for the trap. I used her weakness against her only. Now nobody can save her from me ... nobody...!

"Good job Alya. You can take the leave which you asked me for after she joins." I replied coldly to her not showing her my excitement and disconnected the call.

"5 years... 5 long years and now I finally have you here. You have made me waited for so long now you won't be spare for this." I smirked thinking about it.

-----------------------------------------------------

I still remember the day. Our convocation day. It was suppose to be a start of our beginnings but she disappeared, without saying a word, without dropping a message, nothing. My world stopped there. She was my life, my heart, my soul, my breath. I was just alive, but not living.

My life was a mess after she left. I didn't knew what I was doing. Drinking and partying was only the aim left in my life. I thought may be this could help me to make me forget her but nothing worked.

People who cared for me started worrying about my shattered life and that is when I took control over myself. But still it was impossible for me to get back to the real me as that would make me more weak which I did not wanted.

After fixing my broken and shattered life, the new specimen that was formed is now me, the ruthless, arrogant and rude Manik Malhotra, who unfortunately is a big name in the photography field.

I searched for her like maniac in all these years, but all in vain. It was 2 weeks before when I spotted her in an event and that's when I came to know my Nandini was now the model Niti. She changed her name.

She opted for modeling only on my suggestion. She is beautiful, charming and with a prefect figure, required for modeling. But my Pari.. yeah, that's what I call her as she is still an angel for me that was sent in my life. My Pari, being the innocent and shy soul she is, did not liked exposure and even did not tried to wear short dresses though it would fit her curvy figure perfect. For that we took another option and she started modelling for the ethnic and bridal wears.

One thing I was sure about that even though she disappeared from my life, she must have not given up on modeling because with time she developed a huge passion towards it. And that's when I utilized all the perks of being in the news of paparazzi. I searched for her in the entire modelling and fashion industry but no one knew her. Now I know why.

2 weeks before when my assistant Alya , who was also assigned to search Nandini, attended the launch of new bridal wear collection and saw her walking on the ramp. She had send me her picture , which was enough to make my breath hitch. She looked indeed like a Pari.. That red lehenga was looking a masterpiece just because it was draped around her body.

Now Alya had contacted her on the behalf of a fake agency and asked her to do a bridal photo shoot, of course keeping my name confidential. And as I said, I knew she would fall for the trap, she did.

She agreed for the photo shoot and now tomorrow she will be here, and this time forever.
