"No no no!!!!! This man! He is a lier, he filled your ears against me, trust me Raman. I....I really love you. Don't leave me." Samaira lower lip trembled looking at infuriated Raman.

"Love!! I never loved you Samaira, never. And exactly when I gave you impression that I love you?" Raman growled back, he was definitely not going to consider that he is talking with a woman.

"Lie! It was love Raman. The way we used to talk all the times, bare our hearts with each other, spend evenings over cup of coffee, helped each other in lows. It's is love Raman. I will divorce Vikram and we will live together, happily." Raman felt disgusted on himself recalling the time which he spent with her considering her just as a friend.

"I thought we were friends, you spoiled it Samaira. Remember, I don't love you and I am never going to leave my wife for you!" He continued to bash Samaira, pulling out his hairs from his scalp.

"Really!!! You will not leave your wife? You might not love me now but trust me with time you will start loving me Raman." Samaira tried to cup Raman face, he freed himself from her grip and moved his steps back.

"Never Samaira, never. This can happen only in your dreams. You better stop claiming the same and delete those pictures right at this moment."

"You mean you are not going to divorce your wife? You mean whatever happened between us was a lie?" Raman taken aback looking at Samaira face, like something possessed her. He could feel his rapid heartbeat thumping against his chest.

"Nothing had happened between us Samaira, why can't you get this thing in your mind?" Raman yelled with frustration visible in his face.

"Hmm might be, but would you be able to make it believe same to your wife? Your hot headed wife who never believe on you, you're already a culprit in her eyes. Just wondering what would she do when she will see all our pictures I have captured?" Samaira smirked looking at Raman, she had played her cards well leaving everyone tight lipped. Vikram and Raman were flabbergasted when they heard her words, Vikram knew Samaira can cross any boundaries but what she has done today was beyond their imagination.

"Are you trying to blackmail me?" Raman threw his hands in the air, passing disgusting looks to Samaira.

"Certainly. You deceived me Raman, I will not leave you." Samaira yelled over Raman leaving him shunned.

"Stop defaming him Samaira. He has done nothing. Nothing at all. It's all in your head." Vikram tried to stop Samaira but she was not ready to listen anyone.

"You stay out of it Vikram. You have done it knowingly and Raman I will not let you dump me." Samaira continued to yell her lungs out, Raman called his personal security guard who pushed her out. Samaira was terminated from her job that day only and very next week Raman flew back to India. He thought leaving Switzerland would solve his problems but only if he knew, his troubles are just only begun.

"Samaira was not ready to listen us, I have tried ways to make her understand that I had never such feelings for her but it appear like she has given deaf ears to me. At the same time, I got call from headquarters that they want me back to Mumbai to fix the ongoing issues in the company and if everything goes according to the plan than by the end of the November, I would be appointed as the new CEO of the PSR India. Ii immediately flew back to India, I hoped my absence would make things better and Samaira and Vikram would sort out the things but one fine day I got a call from Vikram and he told me that Samaira is missing along Amaaya." Raman started to narrate further incidents, "Few days later after I came back to Mumbai I got a call from Vikram where he told me Samaira went missing with Amaaya. She used to stay in one of condo apartment of PSR but she was not there, neither at the hotel where she stayed earlier.
