I slumped down on the floor tiredly that's when I noticed the time.Aaj tho paka job sa nikal denge mujhe Ayyappa bacha Lena please.what's wrong with today.subha sa galat ho raha hai ab agar job sa nikal diye gaya tho kay hoga kuch nahi hoga bas apna career ki band bazigi aur kuch nahi.hey probhu meri saat hi esa kyun...

[ I'm definitely going to be fired today. Oh Ayyappa, please save me. What's wrong today? Everything has been going wrong since morning. What if I'm fired now? Nothing will happen, my career will be ruined and nothing else. Oh God, why does this happen only to me...?"]

My subconscious -ha aur agar jaldi nahi gayi na tho paaka job khatam.

[Yes, and if I don't leave quickly, my job is definitely finished (or gone)."]

Me- ha ha taunt mat mar ab tu.

[ Don't taunt me ]

Pata nahi yeh Mera picha kab chori gi jab dekho tab taunt Marti hai, pata nahi isko bagwan na help ka liya veja tha ya phir...

[ I don't know when she will stop following me/chasing me; whenever she sees me, she taunts me. I don't know if God sent her to help me or..."]

Shit, shit it's already five thirty come on yarr you can do this .i said to myself, now please don't judge me for this agar aap ko kuch kar na hai life me tho khud ko dilasa dena jaruri hai.and this is what I am doing now first I took the responsibility of poster making. and that shopper keep was not ready to take the order. After lots of requests and paying him triple of the payment he took the order and I hope by tomorrow he completes or else jo hoga mere sath kal vo history mai likha jayega.

I was so imposed in my thought that I bumped into a wall hitting my head hard .Ab yeh rasta ka beach dewar kaha sa aya.ouch zor sa lagi Ayyappa mera sar while I was talking to myself.

I heard a deep husky voice asking me "Are you okay"with this I looked up to the man who was already looking at me intensely.If look could kill then I am already dead by this gorgeous man standing infront of me.

My subconscious - ji mar jana but he is asking you something idiot, stop staring at him.

I immediately said sorry and ran from their. God how can I be like this first I am late.second I was staring at a stranger like a creep and then without saying anything ran away. No no I said sorry uff Ayyappa he must be thinking I am some mad person. I hope I never meet him again. I entered the lift praying .

Author POV__

Luka who was on the stairs now was  stopped by Gabriele He looked at him , rising his eyebrows saying "what now?" without any delay Gabriela said "so what is the plan! because as far as I know you .

You have already made up your mind to kidnap her, am I right or am I right ?"

Luca just gave him his signature look and said " later"  with this he went to his room and rushed to open his laptop only to be lost in her beautiful brown eyes.

Sleep was long gone, the only thing which was stopping him to go to her home and kidnap her was his brother who is a commando.

As he knows a slight mistake and her brother would not leave him. it's not that he is afraid of him, it's  just that he is his brother in law and he doesn't want to harm him as after looking up all the information . He very well knew that  for her, her  brother means a lot to her and for her he can do anything,

But what made him curious about his brother in law was  why he is hiding being a commando and rather showing that he is a businessman.

He settled himself on the bed still lost in her thoughts.

As the sun dipped below the skyline of Mumbai, casting a warm glow across the bustling city, Aadhya Malhotra stood on the balcony of her small apartment, the cool breeze ruffling her hair. She gazed out at the twinkling lights, her mind racing with thoughts of the life The memories of her parents tugged at her heart, but she couldn’t dwell on them now. She had her brother Raghuveer to protect, and the weight of her responsibilities pressed heavily upon her.Aadhya’s breath caught in her throat. There he was, the man who had haunted her thoughts since their first meeting. He exuded power and danger, a lethal combination that both terrified and intrigued her.

As the night progressed, the atmosphere shifted. Whispers of tension filled the air, and Aadhya could sense the undercurrents of danger lurking just beneath the surface. She felt the pull of fate drawing her closer to Luca, a connection that transcended the shadows of their worlds.

Across the room, Luca caught her gaze, and for a brief moment, the chaotic noise faded away. Aadhya felt as if they were the only two people in the room, bound by an invisible thread that promised both peril and possibility.
