Author's POV

After selecting the dress, Sia paid the bill, Kabir declined for the suit, Sia tried to convince him but he didn't take it, so when Kabir went ahead with Pihu, Sia paid for the suit and said to deliver all that to her villa.

She came near them, after that she bought some accessories for pihu, she saw Kabir liking a watch but it was expensive so he walked ahead with pihu but Sia saw it and also buy it, after the shopping, they all eat in a restaurant and was returning to SR corporation, Pihu slept in Kabir arms.

After reaching the office, Sia tried to take pihu in her arm but pihu was tightly grabbing kabir shirt even in sleep, so he said he will take pihu to her cabin, they came top floor from her private lift, they enter in her cabin and Kabir lied pihu on sofa, and carefully freed his shirt from her grasp, Sia covered her with soft duvet and pecked her forehead.

Kabir went to his cabin and started working for the upcoming project. she also sat in her chair and worked on her laptop, After an hour later a knock came on her cabin door. "Come in..", she said, Kabir entered the cabin with a file in his hand, he came near her desk and put the file on the desk.

"Ma'am, I checked this file, please sign it", she took the file from him and looked before signing it and gave it to him back, Kabir took it and turned to go in his cabin again when Sia stopped him.

"Kabir".

"Yes ma'am", he asked turning to her.

"After tomorrow the day there is a business party, so you're accompanying me", she said it was not looking like a request it was an order.

"Huh.. but why me ma'am", he asked.

"Cause you're my assistant", she said nonchalantly.

"be ready at 7 we had to reach the venue at 8", she said before turning her gaze on her laptop again. he said okay and left her cabin.

In evening, Sia finally looked up from her laptop and rest her head on headrest, "fuck this, it's all are tiring", she muttered and looked to the side, pihu was still sleeping, a small smile came on her face, she stood and went near her and caressed her hair, pihu stirred in her sleep but didn't wake up, she chuckled.

"Bilkul di pe gyi hai vo bhi bohot soti thi..", she whispered and suddenly she realized what she said and her smile fall down, a flicker of pain cross through her eyes, before she composed herself and came out of her cabin, she was looking like this and then her eyes fell on Kabir's cabin, his cabin wall was made of glass, she was looking at him. Kabir was sleeping putting his head on the table.

(She has definitely gone to Di, she also used to sleep a lot)

Without any noise she entered his cabin, her eyes fixed on his peaceful face, she clicked a button and the wall turned blur, a file open in his desk and a pen in his hand, means he was checking the file before he slept, he was looking so damn cute and innocent that she didn't be able to take off her eyes from him.

She went near him and kept looking at his face, his black hair falling on his forehead. She brushed the hair away from his forehead, her gaze moved from his face to his lips, she felt a urge to touch his lips.

"Tum pagal kar rahe ho mujhe Kabir, tumhari ye nazdikiyan.., tumhara ye saaf dil, jo dusro ko taqleef mei dekh ke dukhta hai, kahi tumhara mera yu kareeb aana tumhe tod na de.., par ab.. ab chah ke bhi tum mujhse door nhi jaa sakte, ab tumhe rehna hoga mere kareeb, agar tum door gye to ye SR sab tabah kar degi, par tumhe apne pass hi rakhegi, cause for me, now you're the only Sanity which can calm my inside demon", she thought before turning around to go.

(You are driving me crazy Kabir, your closeness.., your pure heart, which hurts seeing others in pain, may your coming close to me break you.., but now.. now you can't go away from me even if you want to, now you will have to stay close to me, if you go away then this SR will destroy everything, but will keep you with her, cause for me, now you're the only sanity which can calm my inner demon)

she reached the door and opened the door, before leaving she looked at him, her eyes held a possessive edge, obsession a feary and dangerous obsession. A smile on her face, "Mendhak".

After two days

It was evening, all the employees had gone home, only Kabir and Sia were on the top floor, Kabir was working in his laptop when there was a knock on his cabin door.

"come in" he said, an employee came there and keeping a bag on his desk said, "Kabir sir, SR asked me to give this to you and said that it is time to leave so you please get ready", saying this he left without listening to Kabir's answer.

Kabir looked at the paper bag and opened it, he was surprised, this is the same suit, which he had seen that day in the mall but he had refused it. "so did ma'am bought it for me", he thought, his heart skipped a beat he took out that suit and then a box also came out.

He looked at the box and take it in his hand, as he opened it, his breath hitched, it was same watch which he liked in shop, there was a note also, he opened it, wear it and came down quickly and dare you to refuse to wear this.

A laugh came out of his mouth," is she threatening me", he muttered and looked at the suit and watch, he thought for a while before going to washroom to change.

After 15 minutes he came out, and damn, he is looking handsome, that black 3 piece suit is perfectly fitting his body. His shirt top two buttons were open which made his chest visible, he wear the watch and looked at his wrist, it was shining in dim light.

He came down in the parking lot and looked around for her car, suddenly a car came in front of him, the car window slid down and sia face came in view, "sit quickly", she said, he nodded and opened the passenger seat door but was surprised when he saw Victor sitting there already.

"Sit in the back seat", he said without looking at him and close the door, Kabir opened the back door and sat inside, as he looked at Sia his breath stuck in his throat, she was looking devastatingly beautiful, the black evening gown perfectly hugging her curves, making her more beautiful and hot, her hairs were open, light makeup with nude lipstick making his heart go crazy.

"Are bhai tu itni zor se kyu dhadak raha hai..", he muttered under his breath putting his hand over his heart to calm it down.

(hey why are you beating so hard)

"Kyuki ye maal bilkul bawal dikh rahi hai", his subconscious mind said, making his eyes widen in shock to his own sinful thought.

Sia felt his gaze so she looked at him, he quickly averted his gaze, his face turned red in embarrassment, a smirk came on her lips, she was looking at him head to toe, handsome.., she thought.

"Let's go..", she said and the driver started the car. the whole ride was quiet only their breathing sounds coming, she rest her head on seat and closed her eyes, "Boss are you fine", victor asked in his calm voice. "Hmm..", she hummed without opening her eyes.

"You should have rest, you already burning in fever and still going there, did it's really important to you to go", victor said, his voice still stoic but there was little concern.

Kabir looked at her with surprise and without any thought he put his hand on Sia forehead to check her fever, she froze in her place, her body going rigid, she suddenly jerked his hand away, and Kabir instantly realized what he did, "I.. I'm sorry ma'am.." he apologized.

"Don't dare to touch me again", she said her voice filled with coldness, he gulped and nodded he clung to the car door.

Victor saw this and an unreadable expression came on his face, "Jis insaan ko apne paas rakhna chahti hai usi ko aise door kar rahi hai, use dara rahi hai, aise nahi chalega boss, you have to come over from your past, you had to move on", he thought looking at Sia with rear view mirror her expression was frustrated, she rubbed her two fingers on forehead.

(The person whom she wants to keep with her, she is pushing him away like this, she is scaring him, this won't work boss, you have to come over from your past.., you had to move on..)

She looked at Kabir who was practically sticking to car door, she felt bad to lash out on him, she wants to say something, but she felt that the words stuck in her throat. she turned her gaze from his face, her fist clenched, she looked at rear mirror and saw victor looking at her, her anger increased again.

"perché hai detto questo?", she said in anger its Italian language so Kabir can't able to understand.

(Why did you said that)

"Non l'ho fatto intenzionalmente" he said with calm demour. she sighed and closed her eyes again.

(I didn't do it intentionally)

After some time they reached, victor came out and opened the door for Sia, Kabir also came out and stood beside her. Then another car stopped there, and Abhay came out of it, he was looking damn hot in his grey 3 piece suit.

His eyes met with Sia for a moment before he turned his gaze, he went to the other side and opened the passenger seat door, a girl of around 24 years came out.., she was looking beautiful in red saree, with mangalsutra in her neck and sindoor in her hair partition, she had light makeup on her face.

Sia's eyes fell on that girl's neck where there was a mark of a love bite which she probably tried to hide with makeup but it was slightly visible, Abhay saw where Sia was looking, a smirk came on his face, he slid his hand in her waist and said to Sia, "oh SR also has come here.."

"why, should I not have come?", she said her voice filled with anger and disgust. "Oh c'mon why are you angry, look let me introduce you to someone, meet her My Wife.. My Life.., Mrs. Ruhanika Abhay Khurana", he said pulling Ruhanika more close to himself.

Ruhanika looked at Abhay then Sia and bowed down in embarrassingly, "Abhay ji everyone is looking please leave", Ruhanika whispered softly.

"Now my wife is so beautiful that I can't stay away from you Rooh..", he whispered but loud enough to reach the words in Sia's ears.

Sia looked at him for a few moments, there was no emotion in her eyes, as if she was looking at some stranger, then she turned and entered the hotel. Kabir and Victor also followed her.

"Abhay ji.. why are you doing this, she must be feeling so bad, after all she loves you...", Ruhanika was saying when Abhay looked at her in anger, she shut her mouth and bowed her head.

"You don't need to tell me what I have to do, I want to torment her, so do as I say don't forget that our marriage is just a contract so stop giving me this advice like a wife..", he said with gritted teeth, his grip tightened on her waist, a painful whimper came out of her mouth, he heard it and removed his hand from her waist.

"Let's go", he said and grabbed her hand and they both also entered the hotel, she felt pain Ruhanika but still kept a slight smile on her face.

Sia met with some other businessman, her face held the cold authority and she was talking in her usual cold tone, Kabir was standing behind her.

Suddenly someone put his hand on his shoulder. He turned and was surprised to see Aarav and Prerna there. "Bhai.. Bhabhi, how come you both are here", he asked, he was already quite bored but now when his brother and Bhabhi were there, he was happy.

"Due to my boss's health being bad, he could not come, so I had to come there, so I came here with Prerna", Aarav said.

"It's good bhai you came, I was feeling bored", Kabir said with a slight pout. Aarav and Prerna chuckled, "oh by the way have you bought this suit?" Prerna asked. He looked at his suit and a slight smile came on his face.

"Are you blushing Kabir", Prerna said with a surprised look, "ha.. what.. no.. why would I blush..", Kabir said while looking here and there.

They were talking when Kartik and Raina also entered from the main door, they both were coming inside holding each other's hands, everyone's eyes went towards them and some big businessmen moved towards them and bowed their heads in respect before them

"Oh god this is really Kartik Dixit..", "but why is he here.., isn't it a business party but he isn't a businessman..", some people started whispering.

Kartik and Raina looked around the whole hall and their eyes met Sia, but she turned her gaze, they both passed by her, "can we talk Sia..", Raina said.

"I'm not interested..", she said turning and went to the bar counter, she took a whiskey glass. Kartik and Raina saw her then went near Abhay and hugged Abhay and Ruhanika.

Ruhanika was quite comfortable with Raina, so they started talking to each other.., Sia's eyes narrowed, her grip tightened on her glass, Prerna was looking at Sia only, then she walked towards her, Aarav and Kabir also came there.

"when did you start drinking alcohol..", Prerna said and tried to grab the glass from Sia's hand but she moved the glass away from her reach and said.., "jabse sabne saath chord dia", she said and gulped down the whiskey.

(Since everyone left)

Her eyes were still on those four, prerna also looked and said, "he is the same police officer but why is he here, This is a business party, isn't it".

Sia chuckled and said, "who said he is just a DCP.., he was the youngest general in Indian Army.., but cause of one war he got shot in his hand so he had to leave the position, so he became DCP, but he has his family business, Dixit Empire, they makes weapons but now he wants to come to the corporate world also, and Raina..", she paused and looked at Raina, a small smirk on her face,

"She is in the military, a well known youngest military pilot, done 10 missions without any fails, currently helping in her family business, a modeling company and she is CEO of Mathur industry, anything else", she asked sipping her whiskey while Aarav, Prerna and Kabir were looking at her with mouth hung open and wide eyes.

"what the hell, they are really powerful, that's why that day her one push was also quite intense, She was a trained officer.", Prerna said still in shock. then Abhay's eyes fell on Sia, their eyes contact was intense, none of them take their eyes off each other, but there was no love between them, hatred.. only hatred was visible without any limit.

Kartik came between them so their eye contact broke, Kartik could feel the heat in this moment, the air around them felt thick. Just then Sia's eyes fell on a waiter who was coming towards Abhay, he had a plate of food in his hand but in his other hand which was down, there was a knife, that waiter's eyes were only on Abhay.

"Damn it..", Sia cursed and put down her glass and started going towards him, Abhay's eyes fell on her, his eyes narrowed, then suddenly Sia moved the slit of her gown aside and there was a knife in a rubber near her thigh, she took out that knife, her eyes were still on the waiter behind Abhay, Just as he took out his knife to kill Abhay,

Sia took out her knife and threw towards him, Abhay eyes widened, he turned to the other side, and the whole room went silent for a moment, everyone was watching that scene with wide eyes, Kabir Prerna and Aarav were also watching all this with their wide eyes, then that man's scream echoed, and Abhay turned and saw the man in whose hand Sia's knife had stabbed, then his eyes went to the other hand of that man in which the other knife was.

He turned towards Sia with surprise who came near him and took out his knife from that man's hand, and the man hissed in pain, but it seemed as if she was not bothered by his pain at all, she picked up some tissue paper, cleaned the knife, put it back in the rubber band on her thigh and adjusted her gown, by then Abhay's guards had also reached there and took that man away from there.

Sia turned to leave from there, but Abhay said, "why did you save me, you too wanted to kill me, then why did you save me" his voice was surprising.

Sia looked at him with a raised brow, "because if I give you death so easily then it would not be fun, you will have to suffer, every day, every moment", she said with an intense gaze and came back to Prerna.

In the whole party everyone started talking, and looked at Abhay and sometimes Sia,

"what was this", Prerna was stammering. Sia picked her glass again but didn't reply, Victor came there and whispered something in her ear, her eyes turned dark and a smirk came on her face, "well done, let's see how his face is gonna lose its colour", she said and sip her drink.

"What do you think how much loss would have occurred", Sia asked sipping her drink. "At least 10 crores", Victor said without any expression.

A smirk played on her lips, "whom are you talking about..", Prerna asked, now she is feeling odd near her, an unknown danger felt near her.

"Ab shuruwaat hogi.., Abhay khurana ki barbadi ki.., har us dard ki jo usne mujhe diya.., har us ghav ki jo uske bhai ne mujhe dia.., har us insult ki jo uski family ne ki.., ab ye ghayal sherni shikar pe nikli hai.., aur pehla vaar ho chuka hai.., dekhte hai kaise bachayega Abhay khurana apne pariwaar ko.., khoon ke aanshu na rulaya maine usko, to mei bhi Sia Raichand nhi", she said her eyes held a danger and intense anger for him.

(Now it will start.., Abhay Khurana destruction.., for all the pain that he gave me, for all the wound that his brother gave me, for all the insult that his family did.., now this wounded Sherni has come out to hunt, and the first hunt has already happened, let's see how Abhay Khurana will save his family, If I didn't made him cry with tears of blood, then I'm also not Sia Raichand)

Sia's eyes fell on Abhay, who had just received a call from someone and on hearing something from the other side, his face turned stoic and anger appeared on his face, his eyes met Sia's, his eyes burning in rage, he was giving her death glare her

"I have to leave, Kartik, you drop Ruhanika home.." Abhay said and left from there without listening to anyone.

Kartik, Raina and Ruhanika kept looking at him dumbfounded, then Kartik's gaze fell on Sia, who had a smirk on her face and she was enjoying her drink.

"Let's go, now the work is over here", she said to Victor and turned to go, but her head felt dizzy, she stumbled but Victor held her, Kabir looked at Victor's hand which was on her shoulder, his jaw tightened.

"You already had fever and you have also had a drink now see what happened", Victor said with his usual calm tone. "I'm fine", she said and stood carefully. Prerna put her hand on her forehead and her eyes widened.

"oh god Sia you have a very high fever and what is alright, do you have a little sense or not, if you had so much fever, what was the need to come, and on top of that you drank alcohol too, can't you take care of yourself", Prerna started scolding her, Sia was looking at her in surprise, and a slight smile came on her face because a lot had happened since someone worried about her so much.

"Oh my Rajdhani express, calm down, I am really fine, I'll go home and take rest then this fever will also go away", she said stopping Prerna., she glared but stop scolding her.

"Fine", she said.

"Kabir, will you go with Prerna and Aarav, right?" Sia asked.

"Yes you go home and take a rest", Kabir said. So she nodded and went from there with Victor.

"By the way, I forgot to ask who this man was", Prerna said looking at Kabir. "Oh, this is ma'am's bodyguard, Victor", Kabir replied.

"Okay"

"It's not okay Prerna.., I'm sorry I am saying this but I feel you should keep some distance from this Sia..", Aarav said with a serious face.

"What.. but why..", Prerna asked in surprise.

"Why?, didn't you see, she had almost killed that man.., and that night Abhay Khurana had said that he had come back to destroy Sia.., and that threatening call.., something is wrong with this girl, she is not the way she shows herself to be.., and didn't you hear it, she also wants to take revenge from Abhay.. not from him alone but from his family and she has killed Abhay's brother also.., she is a murderer.. prerna..", Aarav said with seriousness, but the fear was visible in his eyes.

"But Aarav..", prerna tried to say something but he cut her off and said, "I don't want to listen Prerna.., the more distance you keep from her the better it will be.. I don't want any trouble, I don't care how she was before but now she can be anything but not innocent, so keep away from her and Kabir..", Aarav turned to him, Kabir stiffened in his place,

"You.. start looking for another job.. I don't want anyone from our family to be near that Sia.., as soon as this month ends, take your salary and leave this company, apply somewhere else for a job", Aarav said with no further arguments.

Kabir rooted to his place, he felt his chest tighten, a pain he didn't know why he was feeling but he didn't say in front of Aarav, he looked at prerna who was equally hurt, her eyes saying all this which she didn't able to say from her mouth.

They all came out of the party, Kabir was sitting on the back seat, Aarav was driving and Prerna was sitting on the passenger seat, Kabir was looking towards the outside.., only Aarav's words were ringing in his mind. 'Leave this company, apply somewhere else for a job'

He was not feeling good at all, the car window was open and his hair were flying due to the wind, he put his head on the window and started looking at the going road, he closed his eyes and her face came in front of him and he opened his eyes with a jerk..., unhappiness was visible in his eyes.

He was feeling a pang in his heart just with the thought of leaving the company, he was feeling restless, he kept his hand on his restless heart "why am I feeling this..., why am I not liking bhai decision for the first time..., I have always accepted bhai decisions, but this time my heart is not ready to accept this", he thought and rubbed his chest to soothe the pain.

"Tujhe company chord ne ka dukh ho raha hai ya Sia ko, kahi pyaar to nhi ho gya tujhe teri Sia ji se." his subconscious mind said, and this time he didn't even know the answer, but his heart beat fasten just thinking about this.

"Am I really falling in love with her?", this question hung in his mind like a unsolved puzzled.
