" Ya Allah.. Where is your phone Fai.. With which girl you were last night? And you didn't even informed me.. At least I could have seen her.. Aargh.. Forget about it.. Without your phone what are you gonna do? What about the press conference? And.. And this failure of yours will shake the whole share marketing. "

" Shut up....!!! " Shivaay almost roared at Zane who was going on blabbering and running around Shivaay's cabin from morning.

" Shutting up me won't work. Now your priority is to find your phone. Or else ready to be failed. " Zane said in a serious tone.

" Failure... That word doesn't exist in Shivaay's life. And about my phone.. Let's wait.. We still have time for press conference. " Shivaay said in a cool attitude, which of course irked Zane's nerve.

" Dude.. How can you be so calm? We are almost standing on the tip of thorns.. Then.. " Zane was again blabbering out of anxiety.

While Shivaay just focused on his phone, which is actually Amaya's. Don't know why, but he felt really weird as he touched the phone. A sought of feeling, which he never felt.

He looked at the screen, and it's wallpaper. Same as his.

" Fai... Are you even listening to me? Here I'm trying to put some sense into your ' sharp ' mind, as all says... And you are admiring that stupid phone of don't know whose.. " Zane said in a frustrated tone pointing out the word sharp as a taunt.

" Zane.. Calm down...its really harmful for your health. Stop being hyper, your pressure may shows variation okay. " Shivaay said as he tried to open the phone.

" Hainn... Look who is talking about being hyper. Here our company is almost at the verge of being embarrassed due to your stupid missing phone.. And you are sitting here calmly and giving me lectures about how being hyper effects our health.. Seriously? " Zane almost yelled at him in disbelief.

" Done.. " Shivaay said out of blue, making Zane confused.

" Done what? " He asked raising his eyebrows.

" The phone is unlocked. " Shivaay said showing him the phone screen.

" How did you do that that? " Zane asked throwing his hands in amusement.

" Unlocking a phone isn't that difficult for me. " Shivaay said as a smirk lingered on his lip.

" Of course... After all, you have that ' Sharp ' mind. Right? " Zane said in a mocking tone.

" Absolutely right..!! " Shivaay said as he went through the call list of the phone.

" Aahahha... How many times I have asked you for that fucking unlocking trick... But you never teach me. If I knew it, how many hot chick's phone I would have opened. " Zane said with a sad pout.

" That's why I never disclosed that technique to you. Never invade in a girl's privacy. It's out of my morality. " Shivaay said still focused on the phone screen.

" Huh..? Look who is talking. The No. 1 playboy of North India. " Zane said with a chuckle.

" I never stick to any girl, unless it's profitable. And the girls throws themselves on me. That isn't my fault." Shivaay said with a hard look and focused back to the phone screen.

" Okay okay.. I agree that you are that, ' Play gentlemen ' type. But now our problem is not that. But the Asian company. " Fai said as he plopped down onto the couch.

" So let's get going.. " Shivaay said getting up from his chair.

" Where? " Zane asked being clueless.

" You forgot? We have a press conference within few hours right? " Shivaay asked him with his signature smirk.

" Aahaa..! Finally.. Like finally you got your brain back that I think you lost with that horny PA. But.. Did you find your phone? " Zane asked as he relaxed a bit.

" Nope..! " Shivaay said casually as he walked out of his cabin.

" Hainnn..? If not, then where are you going? And why? " Zane asked him almost jogging with him.

" We are going home. " Shivaay said smirking at all his female staffs, who were throwing their best seductive smile, which he didn't care at all.

" Home? For what? " Zane asked him holding Shivaay's shoulders stopping him from his marching.

" I wanna change my tuxedo. I should look more presentable infront of the press right? After all, it's the great launch from Hooda empires to the digital world. " Shivaay said with a light smile.

" Dude... Have you gone nuts..!? " Zane yelled at him as they reached the parking lot.

" Not at all.. Now come. Let's get ready." Shivaay said with the same light smile.

But Zane could easily recognize that, the smile on his face says something else. Because the Shivaay everyone knows never smile wholeheartedly. There will be only his signature smirk or that poker face. Zane tried his best to find out something from his eyes. He knew his buddy isn't that easy case. Something is cooking in his mind.

But what..!?

His eyes..That crystal hazel pool.....The most beautiful and difficult eyes.

That none can read.. Except one person.

His Ppa..!!!

" What kind of human being is he..? Is he even a human being? Now a days I really doubt in that.. I must take some classes from Abba how to handle this junior hulk who is the updated version of Senior hulk. Only he can help me with this. " Zane thought to himself.

Zane with a clueless face sat in the car and both of them drove to Hooda mansion.

On the other hand Amaya was quick enough to unlock Shivaay's phone with the help of one of her friend.

" Woo-hoo... Hotness overloaded babes.. " Amaya's friend said as she scrolled through Shivaay's galary.

" Hey....Stop drooling over him. I just need those information regarding the presentation. That's it. " Amaya said completely uninterested to even look at his photos.

Scrolling through his file manager, finally she got what she needed.

" Yes.. Finally.. I got it. I need to create the presentation and submit it to Mike. Yes.. Finally our company will be on high.. " Amaya squealed in happiness and ran to her cabin and started working on the presentation.

And after her 3 hours of hardworking, she copied the presentation in a pendrive and barged in to her Boss's cabin.

" Mike Mike Mike.. " Amaya ran to his table startling him.

" What is it Amaya? " He asked as he straightened on his chair.

" Here you go with the presentation. Take a look and mail it to the "Quasars Enterprises " as soon as possible. " Amaya just said everything in a single breathe.

" Oh Jesus... Thank you so much Amaya. " Mike said as he connected the drive in his system.

" Actually Shivaay deserves this thanks. The more he thinks, he is smart and intelligent, the more he is a nut case. " Amaya laughed at her own statement.

" Ammu... Don't underestimate him. You don't know him better. What he thinks or does at the next moment, we can't predict. " Mike said with a smile, but in a serious tone.

Amaya made a bad face and scoffed at him.

" I don't care.. Let him do whatever he wants. I'm Amaya Mittal. I'm not less than him. " she said with a smirk and left from the office.

" What will happen, if a nuclear bomb and atom bomb will come in contact with each other? "

Mike asked to himself and shook his head as he imagined it himself.

" Jesus.. Keep me and my company safe. " He muttered and started working in the mailing process.

On the other side, both Shivaay and Zane reached Hooda mansion. He parked the car and walked in. But only to be stopped by jaan.

" Fai... I'm asking you for the last time. If you ignored me this time, don't come to me for anything. " Jaan said as she crossed her arms around her chest.

" Oohoo... Jwalamukhi mode is turned on.. " Shivaay said looking at everyone.

" When is that mode off by the way. " Faisu commented from aside.

" You shut up. And Fai... Call Shri right now. We all want to talk to him. " Jaan said in a serious tone.

Shivaay looked all and his eyes stopped at Sidharth. Sidharth nodded slightly making him sigh.

" Okay.. "

Shivaay took out his spare phone and dialed Shravan's number.

" Put it in speaker. " Vaishu said coming forward.

Shivaay did as she said. Everyone heard the ringing voice and with each passing seconds their curiosity kept on increasing.

Except one. Shivaay...!

He stood there, as if thinking what's there to be this much curious. After sixth ring, finally he attended the call.

" Hey.. Faiiii.... My brother. How are you..? "

There came his voice making everyone smile.

" I'm fine. And.. Jwalamukhi is here to talk to you. " Shivaay said playfully earning a glare from jaan.

" Shri.. When are you gonna come back. I'm telling you dare to try to ignore me nor cook up any story. " Jaan almost. Almost warned him.

" Offoo my jaan.. Don't worry. This time I'm coming. I will be there after two days. And there will be a special gift for you. " Shri said to all with a chuckle which was really a melody.

" Gift? What gift? And dare you come back without the girl's number whom I asked. " From nowhere Zane jumped.

All looked at him with wide eyes. Vaishu smacked straight on his head and his wincing started.

" Shri.. Whatever you bring or not, at least come soon, thinking that two oldies are living here counting their days. " Zoya came forward and said.

Only to be taken in a hug by Shivaay.

" Daadi please.. You both are not gonna go that soon. You will be there even to see my baby. Isn't it guys?" Shri asked indicating everyone.

" If you wanna give baby to your daadi and daadu, first you have to marry anyone..!" Jaan said to him sarcastically.

" Of course.. Baby won't come from air.. " Zane said taking jaan's side.

" Aahaa.. Zane baba seems really aware about all the process. " Shri asked over the phone.

" Of course I'm.. " He said with so much proud earning looks from all.

" Now.. Where are my carbon copies.. Papa, Fai.. You two there? " Shri asked.

" Yeah.. " came their reply in unison.

He know more than a short reply, he won't get anything from both of them through the phone. So he is more than happy by that.

" Okay fine then.. I gotta go. See you all soon. Bye all. Love you.. " Shri yelled at them out of happiness and disconnected the call.

" Now happy? " Shivaay asked him his eyebrows.

" Yeah.. But about what gift is he talking about? " Jaan asked and looked at all.

" What if he is gonna bring his girlfriend chachi..? " Shanaya asked out of blue making all look at her.

" OMG OMG OMG.... Will he? " jaan squealed out of happiness and looked at Fai with hopeful eyes.

" He is your laadla... I'm just brother. How could I know.. " Saying this he just walked away.

" Whatever it is.. At least he is coming. That's enough for me. " Zoya said and smiled in content.

Everyone got busy in the preparation of press conference. Where as Zane was walking around all worried and tensed, not knowing what's cooking in that hulk's mind. Getting dressed he walked up-to Shivaay's room. He got inside and saw that he was dressed in a pitch dark blue tuxedo revealing his sexy neck tattoo and the one on his left chest. He was fixing his hair infront of the mirror.

Zane walked up-to him and turned him around making him groan out of annoyance for spoiling his hairstyle.

" What..? " He just shooted.

" What you mean by what? I'm here burning out of tension and you.. You are building Taj Mahal on your hair? " Zane almost yelled at him.

" Shut up Zane. As far as I am breathing, I won't fail. You know me better. " Saying this he walked out leaving Zane behind him.

" Ya Allah.. Kaha phahsa diya muhje.. Why can't be anything simple in his life.. " Zane muttered looking up and walked out following him.

In the hall everyone was ready for the conference. So many business partners, clients and many others were present there. Shivaay walked upto them and shook hands with them. He grabbed a drink and was talking to one of his client.

" Faisu.. Is everything okay with Fai? I mean.. He looks little down. " Sidharth asked faisu looking at Shivaay.

" What are you talking Sid. We all know Fai very well. He never fails in any of his projects. Just chill. " Faisu said and patted his shoulder.

" That's why I'm worried. He never fails. He hates to fail. So he gets what he wants, by hook or by crook. Like you said, he is a successful business man, he never failed in his professional life. I wish he won't fail in his personal life. " Sidharth said with a hint of fear in his eyes.

" Hey.. Sid. What are you talking.. Everything will be fine. And even Shri is coming, and he will look after the company, so Fai can take more time for his music label. " Faisu said trying to cheer him.

" Faisu.. Do you really think Shri can handle this business empire? There is a great difference between both of them. That is... Fai thinks and acts according to his mind.. But.. Shri only do what his heart says. Which is a weak point for business. " Sidharth said as he sighed heavily.

" Chill.. Nothing will happen. " Faisu just consoled him.

All of a sudden there was a murmuring sound. With each second, the sound increasing.

" Fuck..! This deal got out.. " Zane said as he saw the news of knight empires being dealing with quasars empires.

" Fai.. What's all these..? This girl just cracked the deal with your efforts. " Zane said, but nothing changed in Fai.

He just walked up-to the podium and whole the camera focused at him.

" Hey everyone.. I'm Shivaay. Shivaay Hooda. From Hooda empires. The empire which my Ppa and chachu has built up. But.. Am I deserved to be the CEO of this empire? It's really a big question. And about the launching of this business to the digital world need a comparable deal with us.

If you check the business news, you can see, the knight empires cracked a deal with the quasars.. One of the top 5 business group. So when I'm launching, I should have a deal which is up-to them.. Right? "

Shivaay said as everyone looked at him. All family members looked at him with frowns. For the first time their Fai is laging time during press conference.

" But unfortunately, I don't have any deal with me to shake the digital world of business. "

He stopped and looked at all. All the family members were shocked to see him defeated. Except one.

His Ppa..!

He knew something is cooking inside his mind.

" So.. Everyone sees this launch as a failure.. But you all are wrong. It's the step towards the success. So here comes my friend, Mike Knights. Owner of knight empire. And I have collabed with 70 percent of knight empire with Hooda. So together we are going to be the world's best digital business website. "

Shivaay finished with a smirk as he remembered, how he found Mike's number from the phone and after the deal out news, he just called Mike and put his idea forward, to which he agreed instantly.

" So.. My brother Shravan will be here soon and will take over the CEO position. And about the new deal, it will remain as Knights achievement. " Shivaay said and dismissed away.

" Such a shark he is.. " Zane said out of blue.

" I knew it. He will get what he wants." Sidharth said to faisu.

In Mittal mansion, Amaya was watching the news and was dumbstruck.

" No wonder, he is the business man of the year. Deal is someone's else, company is also someone's, but Victory.. Just Shivaay Hooda.

" Fuck..! Boss just sold out the company. " Amaya huffed out of anger and drove to her office. She barged in Mike's cabin and saw him sitting there calmly.

" Mike.. What have you done? You just sold out the company? It was my presentation, our team work. Then how.. " She asked him in disappointment.

" Amaya.. Relax. What's the big deal in this. It's quite natural to have collabs."

Mike said casually.

" But it was my hard work. "

" Better you yourself talk with Shivaay. " Mike said.

" Yes.. I'm going to meet him only. Let me see him. " Amaya raged out and drove towards Hooda mansion.

Not knowing that she is gonna give a shock to almost everyone.

In Hooda mansion everyone congratulated him. And all walked out and only the family members were present. Everyone started leaving. A peaceful silence occupied the mansion. But was soon dead as a loud shout startled everyone.

" Shivaay Hooda.. "

Everyone got startled by the voice.

" Shivaay... Shivaay I said come down."

Amaya who reached Hooda mansion just got in without any notice and shouted for Shivaay.

Jaan was the first one who came in the hall. But as soon as she saw Amaya, she went numb, as if someone has paralyzed her. Within no time everyone reached there.

" Avneet.." A mere whisper escaped from vaishu's mouth.

Not knowing what to do, ever stood there numb. Sidharth was taken aback, confused, shocked, what not..

But everyone's trance broke as she yelled for Shivaay.

And there he came. Actually, he was changing, that's when he heard her voice. He had already opened his white shirt button, but as her yelling irked him, so he walked down like that itself.

His well builded body was in HD view. But Ammu didn't had any time to drool over that. She is fuming out of anger.

" A warm welcome Ms Amaya Mittal. " Shivaay said as he walked towards her with his smirk.

Both Amaya and Shivaay standing face to face. Just two feets away.

All others just looked shocked by hearing the name and the person. Moreover Shivaay welcoming her. Nothing made sense to them.
