POV: Armaan
I jerked my head up to see her... Fucking NAINA!
"Pfffff," I heard Kartik spit out his drink.
I aggressively stood up from my chair, anger running through my veins. Fire in my eyes and hatred for the women standing right in front of me. The audacity she has!
"WTF are you doing here?!" I shouted very aggressively, if tone could kill she would've been dead the second I raised my voice.
"Bab- sorry sir, I'm your new personal assistant. If not here where else would I be?" she said innocently.
"You are not my PA," I said with gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes I am. Like it or not I am your PA," she snapped back. The fucking audacity!
"Get out before I call the security!" I pointed towards the door, hoping she got the message.
"No! baby I'm here to clear all the misunderstanding between us, please listen to me," she begged.
"What is left to listen to? You cheated on me!" Armaan roared while Kartik was enjoying the show with full attention.
"And you didn't? I was forced to do so. This was not out of my will!" she said with teary eyes.
"I don't care! Get out! Or else I'm calling security," Armaan was now on the edge of losing his cool and doing something he knows isn't going to be good for her.
"You can't kick me out! I am your temporary PA and the sooner you get that shit in your head the better. I still love you! Everything was a misunderstanding. Armaan, right now you are angry and you won't understand me so let's meet up for lunch tomorrow," she said while putting her one hand on my shoulder.
I jerked her hand of, "No! Get the fuck out of my cabin, my building, and my fuckin life unless you want me to kick you out of this fucking planet!"
"You can't I signed a contract with the company," she hands me the paper and my eyes widened.
It said that she could not be fired or thrown out of the company until her temporary position contract did not end. If she gets fired, I will have to hand over the whole company to her. I looked down the contract paper to see my sign at the bottom of the paper, when the fuck did I sign this paper? I always read any agreement before I sign then how? and that's when it hit me.
Flashback:
"Mr Mehra, we need you to sign this paper from your dad. It's from the Patels, they need you to sign the papers as soon as possible for the deal to continue," one of my employees held up the paper. I took it and was about to start reading when my friend James came into my cabin.
"Long time no see Mr Mehra," he said formally while nodding his head and I did the same.
"Now you remember me?" I glared at him.
"You're lucky I'm here, I don't mind ghosting you," he comfortably sat on the couch.
"Sir, it's really important. Could you please sign it," the employee begged.
"Mehra, let's catch up. Let's go have some coffee, by the way, I have to leave for Germany in two hours so make it quick," he demanded.
I looked down at the papers in front of me and they looked like at least 20 pages. That'll take me forever to read so I quickly signed the papers, I don't trust my dad but I know he won't fuck up in business so I just signed it.
Flashback ends.
"Look Armaan, please meet me for lunch tomorrow at 1:15 pm, I want to tell you everything. I want to clear all the misunderstandings between us, and the reason why I left you was because of your dad," she said while looking into my eyes, tears gathering up.
Anger was still boiling in me, I wanted to smash everything around me. I was on the verge of losing my calm, what does my dad have to do with all of this?
"Meet me tomorrow," and just like that she left.
"Damn, you're in deep shit, yeh tho moye moye hogaya" Kartik got up from his seat.
"Fuck!" I screamed.
"Calm down," Kartik patted my shoulder.
"How the fuck am I supposed to calm down with this shit? Kartik, my dad is involved in this, I don't know how but he's involved in this and I want to know why. I have to go tomorrow," I said while trying to control the anger that was begging me to burst out.
"And how about Kiara?" Kartik questioned. How about Kiara? How about her? What will she think?
"I'm not going to tell her," I said while loosening up my tie. I can't breathe with all this.
"What if she finds out?" Kartik is stressing me out.
"How will she know?"
"But-"
"Enough! I'm going to meet Naina tomorrow and get all the answers. I'm not going to tell Kiara and she will never know, and I'll make sure she never finds out about this. Don't you dare tell her anything about this Kartik or else you will see a side of me that you wish you never saw," threatening him I stomped out of my cabin.
...
"Patidev, it's 10 pm, did you not hear me when I said to be back soon?" Kiara hugged me from behind. What do I tell her? So basically, my ex is now my PA and will be for some time.
"It's okay though, but next time this shouldn't happen," Cinnamon turned me to face her.
"Come let's eat?" she started heading towards the kitchen but I grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to me making her land on my hard chest.
"Babe, we have to go back home... tomorrow," I said while locking my eyes with hers and she nodded. Wasn't she going to ask why?
"Okay, but you have to come with me to the temple tomorrow," she said with a smile and I raised my eyebrow wondering why.
"It's Maha Shivratri tomorrow and I really want to take blessing for our new life together," she said still smiling.
"What's Maha Shivratri?" I questioned. I'm sorry but I never really celebrate these things, I don't even know half the god's name and their backstory. I don't even know their significance to this world. I am clueless.
Her eyes widened in shock, "You don't know what Maha Shivratri is?" she asked while I shook my head in denial.
"You're so cute! I'll explain everything to you tomorrow. Just come with me!" She commanded and I nodded my head. Her words started making my heart pound fast, "cute" she called me cute! Why the fuck am I acting like a desperate teenager whose crush just complimented him? What are you doing to me Ki?
"Come on now let's eat! I'm so hungry," she whined. She didn't eat? It's bloody 10 pm and she still hasn't fed her stomach.
"Why didn't you eat?" I asked without shouting. I tried to be as calm as I could while anger was at its peak.
She cupped my cheeks, "Did you eat?"
Oh, I see now. She didn't eat because I didn't eat. I haven't eaten, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't eat. What century are we in? It's 2024 not 1869.
"You didn't eat because I didn't eat?" I raised my eyebrow while she nodded her tiny head.
"I thought we should eat together," she said looking down.
I put my finger underneath her chin and lifted it a bit up for her to meet my eyes.
"Just because I didn't eat doesn't mean you don't. Sometimes I may come late from work that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat. I know eating together is preferable but still, sometimes I won't be able to come home early and I don't want you to fall sick, okay," I calmly said and she nodded her head in acceptance.
"Good girl," I patted her head.
"I'm not a dog," she said while squinting her eyes, giving me a death glare.
"But you are my girl," I winked and she gave me a light punch on my shoulder.
Kiara started serving me while I looked at her glowing face. How can someone be this pretty? But that someone is mine, which makes me feel proud.
Kiara sat on the seat opposite me which made me pout.
"Why are you sitting opposite me?" I questioned with an upset face.
"It's better to sit opposite if you want to have a conversation," she said while putting a morsel in her mouth.
"I'd love a conversation but I'd also like some physical conversation as well," I smirked as she choked on her food. I poured water into a glass and forwarded it to her mouth while she gulped it down in one go.
"You are so shameless," she said while a blush crept up her cheeks.
"Wow, wifey this morning told a different story when you pinned me to the wall," the smirk was still planted on my face. The bold move she made this morning made me proud of her and of me. It feels like she is comfortable around me.
She sighed and we started talking about our day, how she went to the mandir (temple) with Ma and how I lied saying I had a "great day" at work even though it was one of the most traumatic days of my fuckin life.

On the other side, a male figure stands tall with a glass of whiskey, wearing a formal expensive suit.
"I will give you three million dollars if you do it," he spat venom out of his mouth.
"I want him ruined at all costs. His reputation, his career and most importantly... his love life," he took a sip of his whiskey.
"Don't worry, I want the same," a female wearing a short dress was sitting on the bed with red wine in her hand.
"If we do this, what will we get?" Another man wearing black said while sipping his whiskey.
"She already got 1 million dollars just by being his PA, imagine what you'll get when you help me ruin him," the first man said.
"I have all the money in the world, I don't want money," the man wearing black said.
"What do you want then?"
"His business, his company, his fucking position," he demanded as he was desperate.
A smile crept up the other's face, "of course," and they all laughed evilly.
"And I want Kiara, I don't care what you do with Armaan but I want Kiara at all costs," another man wearing jeans and a hoodie poured himself some wine.
"You all are hungry for his things, but don't worry your demand will be met once you do what I tell you to do. Our second plan will be executed soon," the man wearing a formal expensive suit said,
"It's time for your destruction Mr Armaan Mehra!" he continued, a smirk planted on his face.
