the devil's star (Completed)

chapter 1-the contract Marriage

Hai Teri meherbani
Ke adhero se hum mukar gaye
Hai Teri meherbani
Ke bin jaane hi yu
Savar gaye..

(This is the song with English translation for those who don't know English)

A boy is seen siting on his window with guitar in his hands. He seems to be in a deep thought. He has a photo frame in his hands in which one boy and one girl are framed.

*MANIK'S POV*

Where are you my star? I tried finding you. But I couldn't. You promised me that you'll never leave me. Please come back to me. You made me believe in love again. Please come back to me.

I still remember the first time I met. How can I forget? I was grumpily sitting on one of the bench of park and you came next to me and started mimicking me to make me feel good. Haha! You were so cute. And I know you are cute now too.

FLASHBACK
(MANIK IS 10 YEARS OLD AND NANDU IS 6 YEARS OLD)

Today my mom (reminder she's manik step mom) is dragging me to a orphanage. Papa has gone out of country to attend some important conferences so she has asked mom to visit angels orphanage.

Now mom is asking me to come with her and since I love my mom so much so I agreed to go with her.

In less than 10 minutes we reached the orphanage. Mom went inside the orphanage incharge's office to talk, and I sat grumpily on the park bench of the orphanage my arms folded.

Suddenly a girl younger than me came and Sat beside me and mimicked my actions. This brought an unknowing smile on my face.

I soon hid it and said "who are you?" She smiled cheeky smile and said "hi I am nandini murthy. Others call me nandu. What is your name?"

I rudely said "manik Malhotra" giving her a hint to leave Me alone. But I guess she didn't get my hint and started talking.

"You know Mrs. Riya, the in charge of this orphanage said that I was found on the gate of the orphanage when I was 2 days old with my name and surname and a note which said Please take her in, we won't be able to raise her
And from them, Mrs. Riya raised me. I love her alot. What about you? Will you be my friend?"

FLASHBACK ENDS

and unknowingly, I started opening up to you. How my mom cheated on my mom, how after her death, I got a better mom. My neyonika mom.

From then on, I used to come everyday to meet you. Years passed and one day, when I was 18 and you were 14, I had to leave India for a week because mom wanted to go to London for some work for a week and since dad was busy with his meetings, I went with her.

And when I came back to meet you, you weren't there. The in charge said some couple adopted you and said to not reveal their identity or tell anyone where they went. Not even the owners.

I felt sad. After few months, when dad died in a car accident, I drowned myself in work, after I became the multi billionaire and also the mafia king, i sent search parties for you. But everyone failed. I even got the best detective in the world, but he also failed.

Where are you my star? Today I have to go do a contract Marriage because my dad left a will that if I don't get married, I won't get the rest of his property.

But don't worry, I won't give her the status of my wife. She'll be my wife only for 6 months, ans she'll just be a mere servant for me who'll do all the work of my mansion.

The only person who'll get my love and the status would be you. My nannu. I love you nannu. Please come back to me.

"Mannu!" I was pulled out of my thoughts by my mom calling me. After quickly wiping my tears, and quickly giving back a yes, I went inside my bathroom to get changed in a suit for the court marriage.

I hate girls except my mom because of my real mother. She cheated on my father with an older guy just for money. And my hate towards women were served right when the girl I am about to do a contract Marriage, what was her name..yeah! Pari singhania.

Her parents told me that she'll take 6 crore for the six month contract Marriage. Bloody gold diggers.

----×----

We our currently now sitting inside the court for our contract Marriage. We'll do nothing grand. We won't even exchange garlands. We'll just sign the marriage papers and then done.

Soon after, pari came and her face was very similar. Button nose, chubby cheeks, and pouty lips. No no. She's just a gold digger. She can't be my nannu. My star won't stoop so low and do such a thing. And my nannu always had a smiling face. Her face is emotionless. But when she saw me and her eyes landed on my bracelet clad hand, her eyes shined and she smiled. Huh! Probably saw my Rolex limited edition 2 crore watch And got excited seeing I am quite rich.

But when she locked eyes with me and she saw my hard glare, her face changed again to emotionless and looked down and started playing with her dupatta.

Soon we were called for signing the marriage papers she sat inside my car and we started our journey to Malhotra mansion.
