Dhriti's pov:-

Look at that man....how he is throwing his sarcasm towards me. I don't know how I will work with that man?

"Riti.....what are you thinking?" Aju's voice snapped out from my thoughts.

"About Aarush Malhotra.......Do you know when he entered to cabin he was staring at me without blinking his eyes." I said to Aju.

"How anyone can stop himself from staring at you because you are looking hot and beautiful at the sametime , Riti." Arjun said with a smrike.

"Oh.....please don't start again Aju." I said with a smile.

"Why didn't you call me in your meeting Riti?" Ruhi asked me.

"You are working on that new project so I think that don't disturb you and called Aju. Anyways Aju is roaming here without any works." I said with a smile.

"Oh....this girl. I was flirting with Riti, on correct time you entered....you spoiled my mood." Aju said

"Oh....sorry for spoiling your mood but can I ask something, you only flirt with Riti, why?" Ruhi said her voice seems bit serious. What happened to her? Whenever Aju stay close to me , cares me, her face changes. Is she jealous ? I have to find if Ruhi has any feelings for Aju or not.

"Because she looks hot not like you. You always in this saree and Anarkalis........ how can I flirt with you?" Aju said by winking his eyes to me.

"It's not cool Aju." I said to Aju because I understood Ruhi is hurted by Aju's word.

Ruhi didn't said anything and leave from my cabin.

"Aju go and say sorry to her...she is hurt by your words." I said to Aju .

Aju gone near to Ruhi.

I continued my work.

Here Dhriti is driving the car to her basement. She reached the basement.

"Hey....DK , Why are you late?" Chris asked to Dhriti.

"Sorry Chris....there were so much work to complete in office so that's why I got late. Leave all these....where is our new guest? Is he really enjoying the hell I made for him?" Dhriti asked with devilish smrike.

"Yeah....you are guest is writhing in pain." Chris said with smrike.

Dhriti and Chris walk inside the basement. There is a man who is tied on iron chair. There is blood stains in his pants and as well is in the floor.

"Did you enjoy my ice water therapy?" Dhriti asked

"Oh....you didn't took that bullet Chris. I told you to gave him first aid ,right? " Dhriti said as if acting sympathetic towards him.

"Oh...I am so sorry DK. I forgot that." Chris said with smrike.

"No problem Chris....now we can do it...." Dhriti said this gestured something to her man.

"Anyways...what is your name?" Dhriti asked to him.

"Ab.....Abhay....." He said with shivering voice.

"Oh....Abhay......very nice name but this name and you will erase from this earth soon ." Dhriti said with devilish smrike.

Her man bring a glass of water and tin bottle. She take that glass of water and pour that water in his wound . He screamed with pain because it was salt water.....

"Hey....hey.....why are you screaming, I have only started my first aid and if you scream like this what will I do ?" Dhriti asked.

"Bhaiya..." Dhriti called the man near to her and gave the tin to him. It's redchilly powder ,he opened the tin and put all the powder in his wound. He again screamed louder but no one can hear him because that place really inside a forest .....there is no houses,no people.....like a haunted place....so no one dare to come there.

Dhriti grabbed his hair and said.....

"Is it paining? This pain is not enough for you. You want to see what the real hell is ? You want to know the pain when a women becomes a prey of wolves like you. You tried to molest a small girl , right? So you will get worst punishment for that...." Dhriti said to him and loosened the her grip on his hair.

"Chris.....you know what to do? Actually I want to torture him but today I wear a white shirt ,if I handle him the blood will get stain on my shirt. So you have to handle it...okay." Dhriti said to Chris.

"Don't worry.....DK , I will handle it." Chris said.

Dhriti came out of the basement and drive the car to her house. When she reached house Arjun is waiting for her.

She entered the house...

"Where were you ?" Arjun asked.

"Uh....I am....I was at beach.....for refreshing my mind." Dhriti said a lie by smiling.

"You are lying. " Arjun said with suspicious on Dhriti's behavior.

"No....I am coming from beach." Dhriti said.

"Okay then. Go and fresh up. After that cook something because I am terribly hungry." Arjun said by putting his hand on his stomach.

"Okay....just wait for 5 minutes." She said and run to upstairs.

After sometime Dhriti came downstairs and Arjun is watching T.V.

"What are you watching ...?" Dhriti asked this and walked towards kitchen.

"I am watching football match." Arjun said and stand up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen.

"Today , we can cook pasta ,okay." Dhriti said

"Okay fine......Your Royal Highness." Arjun said by bowing his head.

Dhriti smiled at his antics and started to cook .

"Yeah....pasta is ready." Dhriti said.

"Oh.....finally" Arjun said these and took the plates. Dhriti served the pasta and they started to eat by watching football match.

After cleaning the dish , Dhriti and Arjun come out from the kitchen.

"Aju...."

"Yeah....."

"Tomorrow....I have to go Takur's office." Dhriti said

"Why?" Arjun asked.

"Now they are our partners....so I have to visit their office." Dhriti said.

"I know they are our partners but why you have to meet them?" Arjun asked.

"If I don't go and meet them, the will start to doubt. I don't want to take any risk that will spoil my plan. " Dhriti tried to make him understand.

"Okay fine then I will also come with you." Arjun said.

"No....you will not come with me ,you go with Ruhi in our site." Dhriti said.

"Okay fine." Arjun said.

They both leave to their rooms.

______________________________________

Next morning,as usual Dhriti come after her jogging now she gone to take a cold bath . After taking a bath ,she dressed up her wound and get ready for office . Today she is directly going to Takur's office so she leave house early by saying to Arjun.

Now Dhriti is driving the car alone. She is thinking about her next plan to destroy Takur's business. 7 years ago because of Dhriti they overcome their bankrupt but now she will destroy their business.

Her car crossed the gate of Takur's industry. She parked her car and get down from the car . She walked in the office and gone to Sidharth's cabin.

"May I come in..." Dhriti asked by opening the door.

"Yeah.....Dhriti.....I mean Dhriti Krishna. " Sidharth said by standing up from seat . Dhriti entered the cabin and Sidharth pulled a chair for her.

Dhriti's pov:-

He is hardly trying to act like a decent boy infront of me but I know what is he.

"Why this sudden visit?" He asked me.

"Actually I am planning to conduct Villas project launching program. So I think to discuss with you about it and make a decision. " I said with a fake smile.

"Oh...I see. You can fix the date in which you are comfortable." He said to me.

"Okay....then I will fix it and inform you. Anyways where is Hitesh sir?" I asked . I have no interest to waste my time talking useless things but I have to find where are they going and whenever they are in crisis from where did this much money come from. From above all that I have to find information about Red Marvel.

"Dad is on a business tour." He said

"Oh....so I think I have to fix a date when your dad is here. When will he come back, will he take more days to come back? " I asked.

"No,just one to two week he will be here. He is in London for solving some business issues. After that he will come back." He said and his phone starts to ring.

"Excuse me...." He said

"Yeah....of course. I am leaving." I said this and I was about to go but suddenly he fall towards me ,his one hand is my arm and another hand in my waist . I am feeling very disgusted by his touch. By his touch , dark incident happened to me flashed in my brain like a film . His touch is burning my skin.

"What....the...." I said but I controlled my frustration.

"Sorry.... I am really sorry." He said but in his eyes I can see the lust for me. Now I understand.......he fallen into me knowingly.....no....no.....he pretended that he is falling.

"It's okay." I said in my cold voice and leave from his office and get into my car. When I was driving the only thing in my mind was the incident happened a while ago. I am feeling suffocated....I stopped the car and come outside of the car for inhaling some fresh air . After taking some deep breath I become normal. I get into my car and drive it to my office.

When I reached office Arjun and Ruhi is not there. I directly walked towards my cabin. I sit on my swivel chair and rest my head on the chair. I don't know why I am feeling this much frustrated now....that incident is not erasing from my mind.

"Mam....." It was Henry.

"Yeah...." I said

"Mam here is the daily report of Villa project and this file you have to sign it." Henry said by keeping files in my table.

"Okay, I will sign it. For sometime no one should enter my cabin. I have to sit alone." I said to him. He nodded his head and leave from my cabin. I stand up from chair and walked towards glass window. I was thinking the incident happened in Sidharth's cabin and that was the same scene when I met him seven years ago for first time.

Flashback(seven years ago):-

I was walking in the park searching for my friend Nithya . I searched her everywhere but I can't find her. I was trying her in phone also,she is not taking my phone but suddenly a man bump into me and fallen to me placing his one hand on my arm and other on my bare waist because I am wearing a crop top . I feel something strange by his touch in my warm body by his cold hand for a moment our eyes came into contact . When I came to senses I step aback .

"I am really sorry." He said to me.

"It's okay....." I said in my soft voice.

"Hey , what's going on here Bhai. " It was my friend Nithya and I shocked when she pronounced him by Bhai.

"What happened ,Ritu? Why are you standing still? He is my Bhai Sidharth Takur." She said to me.

"I'm Dhriti Das. Nice to meet you." I said to him and forwarded my hand and he also forwarded his and we shaked our hands.

"Nice to meet you." He said.

His sound was sincere , I think that he good guy and he is like a prince charming. But I made great mistake in judging him.

Flashback ends.

That was the day I myself cursing. If I hadn't seen him , my life will be really opposite to this. I will be remain as little flower in my family like 7 years ago. But I loss everything.......everything.....just his touch make me this much weak......No I can't become weak. I have to take my revenge.....I want to destroy everyone who destroyed me 7 years ago.

"Riti......" It was Arjun. He turned me facing towards him.

"Hey....what happened.....why are you crying? Did that Sidharth misbehaved with you? How dare he...... I will break his nose today." Aju said and he was going to leave the cabin but I stopped him.

"No....Aju.....don't do anything please....." my voice is shaking I don't know when my tears started to roll through my cheek. He hugged me and said

"Okay I don't do anything but please tell me what happened there."

I told him everything happened in Sidharth's cabin.

"Oh.....this was the matter." Aju said

"Why are you saying it casually , he is making chances to touch me." I asked to him.

"Because it is casual. Look at me ,now I am also making chance to touch you. Because you are hot and sexy so how anyone can stop himself from touching you. It's not Sidharth's fault." Aju said to me I know he is trying change my mood.

"Oh.....so you also misusing the situation. You are making chance to touch me." I said pulling him from hugging me.

"Yeah..... how can I miss the chances to touch you?" He said with smrike and wiped my tears.

"Today I gonna kill you ,Aju." I said to him. After hearing my words he started to run through my cabin.

"If you can..... catch me..." He said to me.

"Don't run...Aju ..... don't play with files it is important files...Aju....stop running. "

Finally I catched him. I put my hands around his arms.

"Now how you feeling?" He asked me.

"Relaxed.....thank you for changing my mood." I said this and hugged him. At the same time the door of cabin opened. Aju and me are standing in the same position.

"I'm..... really sorry...." It was Aarush Malhotra, my another head ache .

"Why are you saying sorry now?" I asked to him.

"Because I disturbed your moment." He said. Oh....God this man always think everything opposite.

"Please come inside, you have come here to check the progress of your project,right?" I asked him.

"No....I just come here to give this files." His answer made me shock. Aarush Malhotra directly come to here to give a mere file. I can't believe.

"Okay." I take the file from his hands . He leave the cabin after giving file to me. Is he planning something new? Because he visited here to give a file.....something is fishy.

"Okay...enough our chit chats let's get to work." I said this to Aju.

We both got busy in our works.

After sometime Ruhi entered the cabin in a rush.

"Did you see the breaking news now? " Ruhi asked with tension.

"What happened ...." I asked to her.

"Take your phone or laptop and look yourself." Ruhi said in serious. As she said I looked in my laptop. My eyes get widened by the news.

"What the hell? How these...." I shouted .

"What the fuck! How these photos......" Aju said.

"Founder and CEO of AURA Group of Company Dhriti Krishna's Affair with Arjun Arora who is Partnar and legal advisor of her own company ."

"Dhriti Krishna and Arjun Arora in Relationship. Their intimate photos got viral."

"Is really DK'S Affair is going with Arjun Arora?."

"Will business partners become life partners?. "
