Everything about her past will be in acrylics and conversation between ridhan and mahi will be in unity)

M

It is my story...when I found him, five years back......my short lived fairy tale....

"Happy birthday my baby" ...someone shooked me...I woke up and rubbed my eyes...and a smiled formed on my lips...

"Doll" ....I jumped out of excitement.

"Happy birthday sweetie" ...she hugged me and kissed my forehead...my doll

"You remember?" I asked her because neither mumma nor pappa ever had wished me..

"How can I forget my baby's birthday?"..she questioned me

"Let's cut the cake"...she said excitedly, she is five years older than me..and my everything..

I looked at my side to see a beautiful strawberry cake roll decorated there..

My doll prepared this for me..

After cutting the cake..we both ate it half and left the rest half for tomorrow..

"Okk, now sleep.. tomorrow you have College na"...she said and left the room not before kissing me...

People used to feel special on their birthdays but I always feel more alone..I wish life can also be a cherry for me... something is missing, something very important...

After covering myself with duvet..I tried to sleep but I can't...my mind unknowingly drifted to that incident in the college..he..beast..

He helped me and saved me from that guy..but he is scary....after he took me with him..he aided my wounds so softly, like I was some kind of doll..his touch never disguised me, It would be a lie if I says I didn't feel comforting...

What I am saying? I shouldn't think like this he is the md of my college...he is like a teacher to me...

I woke up and looked at the clock to see I am already late... I jumped out from the bed and went inside the bathroom, my room was neither too big or nor too small, infact it was cute...I love it..

After changing in a black crop top with jeans, I applied a tint of coal with my nude lipstick...I don't need any makeup..

I walked downstairs and saw everyone sitting on the dinning table...I took my seat quietly...and sat beside my doll...

"You are forgetting the rules of this house"...papa said in a hard voice, my grip on the fork automatically loosened..I just woke up late...

"I...an..m sorry" ..I apologized..despite I was not wrong, they don't even remember my birthday...

"Be ready at night, my buisness partner has organised his anniversary party we have to go there"..he announced..

"But papa today is mahi's birthday..we can't go there.".doll argued with him...

"She is not a child Mahira this party is very important for me..or anyways birthdays come every year.. but important deals comes rarely"..he explained her calmly because he loves her, unlikes me..

"It okk doll..., You all should go. I have to complete my assignments"...I assured her with a weak smile...she looked towards me sympathetically...

I got of from my chair and moved outside..my tears started flowing...why? Why they treat me different.. his buisness partners anniversary is more important than my birthday...I don't know when with all this thoughts I reached in front of my college gate.. wiping my face..I was about to enter when someone interrupted me...

"Mam" ..I turned in the direction of voice and saw an man standing in black coat..

"Yes?" I asked him..

"Please come with me aditya sir seeks your presence"..I said looking down..I frowned..who is aditya sir? And why is he calling me

"Who is aditya sir?" I asked him confused..he looked towards me surprised..

"You don't know him" ..he asked me...I shooked my head negatively..

"He is the MD of this college and a multibillionare.. India's no. one buisnessman any other discription.".

He described with a tiny of smile playing on his lips..

"Oh, you are talking about beast" ..but as soon as i realised I changed my words, "I mean sir...but why is he calling me?" I asked him..

"You can ask yourself"..he shrugged..I nodded but I am scared of meeting him, his blue balls holds so much fire in them.

"Okk, let's go" ..he said and motioned me to follow him...After sometime I standing in front of his office with shaky breath...I knocked twice to hear come in , in a deep voice... meekly I walked inside..as soon as I walked inside I was greeted with fragrance of expensive wood mixed with his colonge..his whole cabin screams perfection, power and dominance..

"Done checking out my cabin?" I snapped out from my thoughts and looked towards him, he was giving me a smirk. my eyes scanned the handsome Greek god sitting in front of me..

"No..si..r I was not checking out your room"...I defendent myself...

"I can see..so now let's come to the point, as you know your exams are over so now you are going to work under me as intern in my company...for now you are my PA...so start your work"..he ordered monotonously...I gawnk at him with my mouth open and close. Guards of this man..

"Sir I am not going to work for you" ..I told him firmly..his eyes darkened at my response...

"I didn't ask you ms. verma...I informed you"...he said in a hard voice..

"But I don't" ....he cut me off..

"YOU HAVE TO"...his voice became loud as he walked towards me..I walked back until my back touched the wall..

"S..I..r plz" ..I requested him to maintain some distance between us..

"You will work with me either by will or by force"...his voice was low..he tucked few strands behind my ear.I heard him mumble something but I was to lost to grasp anything...

"Understood?" He asked giving me don't- dare-to-defy look ..I nodded meekly because something inside me said you needs work....

"Words" ..his loud voice boomed in the room..

"Y..es sir...."

"Good girl , so your first task is to arrange a birthday party..I want everything to be ready by evening"..he ordered creating some distance between us ...

"Sir but I don't know anything about it, then how can I?" I asked him..

"My secretary will help you despite it is only for two people" ..he shrugged and walked back towards his seat..I nodded and walked out...but how it can be a party with only two persons...he is duffer..

His secretary informed me everything about the arrangements and destination..

what is my luck on my birthday I am preparing for someone else birthday...he or she must be very special because beast cared for him/ her..

At evening

"Everything is ready?" I looked up to find him leaning on my small cabin for him, which was freaking large for me...

"Yes sir" ...I stood up but the diary fall from my hands out of nervousness. I heard a chuckle or say a sexy sound but I looked up he was standing stiff. I frowned..

He asked me to seat in the passenger seat of his black Ashton Martin..I hesitated but eventually sat with was full of an uncomfortable silence..

We went in one of his seven-star hotel as Mr. Dean (secretary) informed me ..

We walked inside and my eyes became wide seeing the beauty inside...it only screams money and money..he walked like a king in his crisp black armani suit..with dusky shades and tiffany and co. Now I know why girls swoon over him..I was lost in my chain of thoughts when I bumped into a wall..oouch..but the next minute I found two arms around my waist..

"Ms. Verma keep your eyes open" ...he said with an smirk..mahi you just find ways to embarrass yourself..I muttered a low sorry..

We reached the private area but no one was there..it was indeed a special person by looking at the decorations..

"Sir, there is no one" ..I informed him..

"Because no one is meant to be" .. I heard him saying something under his breath..(I will tell you details in later chapters)

....

...

And that day for the first time in my twenty years of life I celebrated the thing called birthday.. unknowingly a smile crossed my face remembering that day...

Days started passing I didnt realise when it became three months working with him...but I needed money. I needed money for her surgery...

Unknowingly I started getting attracted towards him, the way he walks, his words, his coldness, his snapping..he started revealing my inner shades which I was unware about..he made me do every work I was scared of..he made me realise my importance, self love, how to be confident..I don't know when I started winning against my every insecurity..

He never used sweet words or said I like you..infact he used to snap me every second, he was more cold towards me..but whenever I starts crying, I saw something more than regret flashing into his eyes..which was hurt and pain..

I learned to fight for myself, I was like only passing my years till now, but now I started living...I cared less about my parents attention because my heart was occupied by him..

I got result of my every hardwork whenever I used to saw the pride glimpsing in his eyes for me...

But somethings remains same just like his possessiveness, he was the same dominant, controlling aditya arora like he is now...

He never allowed me to talk with any boy, neither I can talk about them..and if he found that I talk with any other boy except him, he used to punish me by giving me more work...and whole day walks like a sulky bear..

He made me understand the true meaning of love, he gave me a new life..first he made me fall for myself, he made me learn to accept myself...then I found myself falling for himself.. very badly...indeed he is the best manipulative buisnessman.

Sometimes or say everytime I used to feel his eyes one me, but he was reserved never the one to express his feelings neither happiness nor sadness..he was not cheesy and cute..instead he was hard and hot headed man..and my every doubt got confirmed when I found someone donated huge fund in the NGO I worked..

That day I felt someone is there, someone who is protecting me, walking with me in my every step of life..My heart concluded only one name Aditya...

There was a girl in my NGO nitya, she was just five years old...but God cursed her with a lethal heart disease (cad)..when I first met her I found another mahi in her..her heart was occupied with the pain of disease and my heart with the pain of loneliness..

I decided to help her, I started working in a cafe, owned by a old couple.. the pay was not too much but for me it is very important...but as I got the job of his pa I got sufficient money to buy her and my necessities..but there is only one fear in my heart what if I will not be able to save her?..what if..?

"Is she alive?" I look towards him and smiled...

"Yes, now she has grown up.. studying in the top most school of Mumbai owned by him..."

He helped her,when I disappeared after that day, I have nothing with me..the guilt of leaving her was eating me..

"So how she is fine now, I mean who helped her in her surgeries and all the medical procedure?" He questioned still not understanding..

"It's him, maybe we are not together but he was with me in my every heartbeat, every words, every step.."

"He helped her, he even went to hospital at the time of her surgery...she loves him..he was her arrogant bro.."

My feelings started developing more and more..he never left me alone..all day I used to work with him..I used to give presentations, speeches , It became easy for me to express myself...

You see today I am the most successful businesswomen.. it's all because of him..he gave me everything..he made me what I am today..

And finally he broke his shell, when he saw my father slapping me...

"What the fuck!" I Heard someone cursing..and that someone was non other than ridhan...

"Ree don't curse.." I schooled him...he muttered a sorry..

"But why that bastard slap you?" He asked me..

"Don't say like this"..I glared at him...

"They are not my real parents..." I chuckled bitterly..
