Vidya's POV
I entered our mansion with a frustrated expression that's why not a single servant greeted me. But I heard a soft voice from behind when I was heading towards my room.
"Mumma what happened to her?", one of the servant's children asked.
I stopped and turned around with the same cold face.
"Had a bad day cutie", I replied which changed her expression from happy to sad.
"Don't Worry di!! It's fine. You know what my Mumma sings bhajan for me whenever I feel sad... Go tell your Mumma to do the same it'll help you to relax didi ", she replied calmly with a smile.
I forced a smile and told her, "I've no Mumma cutie ".
I headed towards my room because I didn't have the strength to face that kiddo.
I love kids because they're pure-hearted in this cruel world, but I wasn't a pure-hearted kid. I'm the reason why she wasn't here anymore.
I changed after taking a chilled bath. No one's home so I felt relaxed... I stretched myself on the chair while the coffee was resting beside the chair. I checked my tomorrow's schedule. Suddenly, that bastard Ayansh's face flashed in my mind. I wish I could bury him alive... Bastards like him, don't deserve this Earth. I wish that day I wouldn't stopped Mrityunjay... Mrityunjay!! Ah... Why everything is revolving around him? I closed my eyes in frustration and shifted my mind to other activities.
.
.
After a while, we met at the dining table, I refused to eat because I'm already full. I was about to leave but my father insisted on sitting with them.
I knew they both would bombard me with millions of questions so I asked my dad about his day in the office, to shift the topic from my date. He has just supervising things since I took the CEO post. We talked for a while but...
Akshita switched the topic back to my date. This bitch!!
"How was your date?", she asked with curiosity.
"I don't wanna talk about that?", I replied coldly.
" You have to", my dad commanded.
I banged the table to control my rage... " he's a total bastard", I replied.
"Like others?", Akshi questioned and I ignored because if I say no, they will admit it as a yes for marriage.
" Mind your words Vidya", my dad replied with rage.
I stood up from the table without wasting a single minute while Akshita tried to calm him down...
.
.
I entered my room and slipped into the bed... I closed my eyes praying to sleep without any nightmares suddenly his face flashed back in front of me and my mind felt calmness. His hazel eyes, glowing face with no expression, and his height... Everything was perfect, he looked breath-taking in formals. He was handsome and a gentleman. Gentleman!! The way he ignored other women's glares and the waitress's desires to divert his gaze from me to them was commendable.
I smiled but his words echoed my mind, "because I've lots of time to spare on some lady..." I stood up and sat quickly... " I'm not some lady... you jerk... I'm VR", I said to myself.
" He's better than your previous dates...", my mind argued...
"No way he's the worst... Idk why I'm giving a speech on him... he don't deserve to be in my mind...", I argued back which was baseless because he was best among all of them... They all have lusty eyes but his eyes seem to be pure but emotionless... They all knew how to buy love by throwing some pennies but he, himself was a prince. Still agreed to meet in a cozy place without his bodyguards and all.
He's different but an asshole... At least they all treated me the right way, not like him... some lady... my foot!!
"I know all of them", his words struck my mind...
How the fuck he knew everything about me?? It wasn't easy to know about me because I avoid discussing my things on camera even my picture was rare to find... Still??
Leave it... Why am I even thinking about that jerk... Let's sleep...
I was about to sleep when I heard Akshita's voice...
"May I enter?", she asked while standing near the door...
"I'm not in a good mood", I replied while covering my face with a blanket...
"I'll make your mood... I mean good mood", she replied.
She dragged the blanket and slept beside me.
I was facing the ceiling when she asked, "What happened?? Tell me in detail."
I took a few seconds to censor the whole story and then told her everything...
" Damn!! You can call me Jay... You are stupid. He was being romantic, but you are a sarcastic bitch.", she replied while punching my arm.
I forgot to censor that part... "Step out of your delusions... He's an asshole and I'll not let your delusions become true. Now get out of my room", I replied which made her mood switch to a sad one.
Is she all right?? I wanna ask but I'm not that expressive most of the time. She hugged me and stepped towards the door. Something's wrong...
"What happened?", I asked her while turning my gaze towards her, my question made her turn... "Nothing, just missing mom and Dad", she replied while forcing a smile.
My uncle and aunt died eight years back in a road accident. We lived together but they moved to Germany for some business purposes. He was the VP and COO of our company.
My dad and mumma loved both of us equally and so did my aunt and uncle. She was with them in that car, but she survived.
I had seen her crying and feeling the same pain which I felt for several years because of nightmares... I didn't want her to be in that situation again...
"Sleep with me... Come", I said gently. She hopped on my bed and hugged me like a kid.
That's the difference... She kept her inner child alive to fight her battles but I...I buried that child alive because that child was responsible for everything... every misery... every nightmare... her death...
I was struggling to sleep so I took my phone. My P.A.'s message was floating on the notification bar. I tapped the notification and opened her text, "Ma'am as per the President's order, you're granted about 2 weeks of leave and I'll update him till next two weeks. Take Care"
What?? A leave? Why?? I need to ask him... I slowly removed Akshi's hand from my chest and moved to his room...
I knocked on the door and he permitted me to enter. He was reading some documents.
I stood in front of him and asked, "Why did you grant me a leave?? What are you cooking Dad?"
He replied while looking towards the papers, "I'm not cooking anything. I thought you needed it"
"I don't need it... You know that I've to supervise many tech-related work. Plus our new hotel's staff selection is going on and I need to check them too...", I replied frustratedly.
"I'll handle those things for a few weeks and that's final. I'm the President so you've to work according to my will.", he replied.
I stepped out of his room because I didn't want to cross my limits. I can sense that something's wrong with him or the company. I need to find it out!

Mrityunjay's POV
After the date, I went straight to my secret base to torture some mother fuckers.
Anirudh had been there for so long beating the shit out of them, but they haven't spoken a single word. I reached there in a few hours because it was in the woods...
I entered the warehouse and then used the secret door to reach the underground base. I entered the passcode and verified my face then the main door slide, I took 20 steps in darkness to reach the next door which could be unlocked only by my and Anirudh's fingerprints. Security is a must in this world, especially for the dark side of the world...
The door opened and I heard a scream full of agony, he must've been screaming for a long time but due to the soundproof walls, I wasn't able to hear anything before.
I walked toward them; my steps were short but the fear inside them bounced too high which made me smirk with pride...
"They spit out something?", I asked Anirudh who was standing beside them holding a scalpel.
My gaze shifted to the wounds near their kidney area... "Nah! I performed a live surgery skipping general anesthesia, but these bastards still didn't spit a single word", he replied with frustration.
"You took out their kidneys?", I asked with a straight face.
"About to take them but I'm running late... must attend a family gathering, so I'm leaving now after cleaning these blood spots", he replied and walked towards the bathroom.
"Hung them up to the ceiling", I ordered my men.
"Should I bandage these open wounds near their kidney area", one of them asked. I disapproved.
They were naked but covered in blood and deep scratches all over their body. Blood was dripping from their fresh wound, giving me some relief.
I opened the wall glass cabinet and took an axe. The dim yellow light fell on the bit, it shined while my fingers traced its edge. I walked in, to and fro motion, in front of them while their eyes turned red out of fear and pain.
They weren't able to make eye contact and kept hissing in pain which annoyed me.
"Shut up...", I screamed while adding "He used a scalpel and you're hissing. Imagine when I chop your legs with this beast..."
Three of them glared at me at once and one of them asked, "Why are you doing this...to us?"
"Why did you kidnap those little kids from my territory?", I asked.
"Answer us...you...", one of the bastards screamed which boiled my blood and I chopped his left leg with one move.
He screamed in endless pain and fainted immediately, couldn't fall because his hands were tied to the ceiling.
"Here's the trailer", I said while grabbing the other's chin and added, "Answer my questions from now on...You're not supposed to question me."
"We kidnapped them for child trafficking.", he replied.
"Who's your leader?", I asked.
"We....we have no idea... He's anonymous", he replied.
Again, a lie, now he'll die... I chopped his head with one simple move and the blood spots got absorbed by the black wall.
I moved a little grabbed another man's neck and choked him a little.
"Truth...", I ordered with fiery eyes.
"He... He was telling the truth... We...We got the orders on call and...and follow them but... we didn't know it was your territory...", he said while shivering. "They are my people and you guys tried to hurt them that was your mistake.", I replied and choked his neck, till his last breath escaped his body. Easy death tough.
"Take out their body parts and sell them on the dark web...Keep in mind taking out that bastard's body parts without killing him", I ordered my men.
One of them questioned, "On the Dark web?"
"You're new here, right?", he nodded, and I added, "We sell this kind of bastard's body parts on the dark web because these monsters don't deserve to enter the normal world even after their death... Send money to those children's parents."
They all nodded, and I moved towards the bathroom to clean the dirt from my body and soul.
I used to do Shiv Aradhana, but I stopped doing that after the day I lost her. I know it's childish but I'm his child and I have the right to be childish in front of him... To show my love, my anger and my pain to him...
"I'm not that close to you", her words replayed in my mind out of nowhere and my calm mood shifted to a fiery one. You could be that close but the tactics you played today were enough to not cross my limits with you... I know she had zero interest in dating, and she met new dates because of her father, I thought she respected everyone around her, plus the way she interviewed Ani, made me think that she loves her family. Indeed, she's perfect but her egoistic side can't be borne by me.
.
.
I reached the haveli and I was already an hour late. I prepared my reasons to reject her but throughout the way, I could only think about her being dressed in red attire which made her look so elegant. She might look more breath-taking if she had bangles in her hands... "don't fall for looks!!", my mind reminded me again and I took its advice.
I entered and was bombarded with tons of questions from Maa...
"Where you've been? You're an hour late... How was your date? You behaved well, right?", she asked while Dad asked me "Covered everything?".
He knew about our dealings with such monsters so I nodded.
"You're ignoring me...", she said with an annoyed tone.
"No maa, I'm not ignoring you... I chose to answer the main question", I replied while hugging her.
We moved to the dining room.
"Tell me about your date...", she asked. "It was too annoying but I acted well because you told me to", I replied. "Good!! How's she? I've seen her a long time ago", she replied with a faded smile.
"She's a crackhead... Do You know her? You've seen her?", I asked.
"Hm... I'm talking about how she looks", she replied.
She knew her... But how?? She didn't belong to a royal family.
"She looks elegant and...", I stopped because I knew admitting such things meant digging a grave for myself. "And?", my dad questioned.
"Like a witch", I completed.
"Jay!! Your words...", he replied while glaring.
"Look I'm clearing myself here, hum us ladki se shaadi nahi karenge aur na milenge.", I said while leaving the dining area.
(I won't marry that girl and not meet her again)
"But you said that she's elegant. Mujhe wahi ladki raani banne k kabil lagti h", my mom replied.
(I think she's perfect to be a queen)
"Shakal surat sab kuch nahi hoti maa... She has too much ego and I can't bear it", I replied while making eye contact with her.
(Face and beauty are not everything)
"She's perfect Jay. Don't judge her this quickly. She's perfect for you and for being a queen of Banaras", she replied with concerned eyes while adding, "Give her a chance. For me!!"
This woman... Yaar!! I screamed in my mind. A chance?
For me, the first impression is the last and she told me to use my reasons so that we can't meet again. What should I do...
"I'm going to meet her tomorrow", she said.
"What?? Why??", I asked while frowning.
"I want to that's why", she replied coldly while adding "You're giving her a chance and that's final"
"Maa... Don't force me. It'll make things worse, and you know that", I said while my dad glared at me.
"Don't cross your limits, Jay... You are already 29 and at the age of 30 you'll be appointed as a king, but the kingdom needs a queen too and it's mandatory as per the rule of our royal family that whoever becomes a king must have been married, if you don't want to marry anyone. We'll appoint Randhir as the king", he said expressionlessly while my mother patted his shoulder.
He's my cousin and an alcoholic brat even though he's of my age, still he's too irresponsible to handle the kingdom. I knew they wouldn't appoint him as a king but still, I didn't want to take a chance of handing my people in the hands of some shit.
"I'll give her a chance", I replied and left for my house.
