Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Abeer's movement stopped in midway seeing Neil and Marcus together, talking with one another.

"What are they discussing together?", Abeer asked himself seeing the scenario in front of his eyes.

"I can't even go there and listen to their talking. But wait a minute, Didn't Neil know about Marcus that how badly he was behind my life? He wanted to kill me whenever he got a chance. Then what the hell is Neil doing with him?", Abeer cursed under his breath in his deep angry voice.

Suddenly Abeer remembered the voice message sent by his personal secretary before his accident took place where she warned him strictly to stay away from his loved ones.

" No..No.. That can't be true.. The person who was involved in my accident was none other than my own cousin brother, Neil Malhotra.", Abeer realised remembering how the strange incidents started happening to him after Neil joined him in his Mafia world.

" I have to inform about this to Luca. May be that may help him in his investigation.", Abeer reminded himself in his mind.

"Just make yourself comfortable here, Marcus. You know I am going to buy this hotel soon for my new work here.", Neil informed taking sip from his glass.

"Work? What kind of Work? If you are comfortable to reveal then only.", Marcus questioned with a smirking face expression.

"Well you know.. I am not like Abeer bro.. I have a bigger mindset. Not like him who had some principles set in his life and he could go against his ethics at any cost.

I mean if you have that power, then grab that opportunity only for yourself. Why to look after the ethics and principles for that?

In his rule women were not harmed at any cost. But under my rule I'll use them for my own benefit because according to me, they are the great source of building our business empire.", Neil announced in his devilish tone.

" Umm.. Interesting my boy.. I'm really impressed with your thinking and not to mention that if you need any help from my side then I am ready to invest there financially so money will not be a problem for you in case if money is a problem.", Marcus informed, a devilish smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you so much for offering your help as I will need it in future till the time I will replace Abeer bro position in the ceremony that would happen to take place soon in future. Until then, I am just working like an alternative, who has no power and money of his own. So right now, I am just waiting for that ceremony day eagerly so that I will become the new Mafia who will rule this world the way I want with full access and power.", Neil replied finishing his drink in one go.

" It sounds like we are going to become a great partner in future. Because your ideas are quite impressive to me. I really appreciate your thinking. ", Marcus said and forwarded his hand in Neil's direction.

They both shook hands and Neil started showing his future plans to Marcus on his laptop.

" The more I remind myself about him, the more I forget that he doesn't belong to me. I have no rights on him so how could I expect something from him?", Khushi scolded herself for overacting outside on Abeer.

"I think from now onwards I have to maintain a distance from him. After all I am only looking after him till he recovers from his injuries and get back his memory after that he will leave my place and move to his own world. I am just looking after him as a responsibility. Nothing more than that. So kindly stop attaching yourself to him. Now onwards, I will maintain a special gap between us.", Khushi announced in her heart after thinking for a while.

" I am sorry Khushi, I don't want to hurt you with my words. I was saying something else and you took it completely wrong. ", Abeer apologised from behind making Khushi turned around to face him.

"You don't have to Mr. Stranger. Frankly speaking, you did not hurt me there. Why are you apologising to me? You haven't done anything wrong. So please don't say sorry for anything. Anyway lets go. I have purchased the things I needed for us. So now time to leave from here otherwise you might get cold as you said earlier.", Khushi responded and leave the place without waiting for Abeer's reply.

Abeer watched Khushi's retreating figure and was confused with her sudden change in her behaviour towards him.

" Is there something I am missing? Why doesn't it feel like things are okay between us?", Abeer talked to himself in his heart.

Damian was pacing in his cabin thinking deeply about something in his mind when he heard a knock on his door.

"Come in.", Damian responded.

"Boss, I have a good news for you.", Stella, his personal secretary said with a smiling face.

"Hmm...Tell me.", Damian said stopping himself from taking his next step and moving towards his chair to make himself comfortable there.

Damian is a man who believes in talking less and proving himself through his actions. His aura and his personality is enough to let any girl drool over him. Stella was no exception to this. She secretly has a crush over him since the time she landed to her job of being his personal secretary. Despite of, how rude he was being towards her sometimes or how sometimes he treated her harshly in his anger she never left him alone. But Damian has no idea about it. He treated her just like his other normal member of the gang.

"We have led our spies behind Neil Malhotra to know about his every moves and steps he would take in future. And one of our spy told us that he was seen with Marcus, the old enemy of Abeer in one of our hotel.",Stella informed her boss.

"Good. It means our plan is working slowly and slowly. And I am really sure that this stupid, Neil Malhotra will surely fall in our trap and that day my revenge to this family will get done. I will be the happiest person on the earth that day.", Damian declared, again immersing himself in his world of thoughts.

" Yes boss. I will inform you with further latest updates soon related to them soon. But if you don't mind would you please let me know what that family in real had done with you that you wanted to destroy their whole family, their each and every member?", Stella asked being confused about this revenge topic.

" That's none of your business Stella. How many time I have to tell you that just do whatever I instructed to you. Apart from that don't put your nose in any of my matters. Don't forget you are just a worker here, working for me, nothing more than that.", Damian replied in his angry voice making Stella flinched at her place in fear.

Damian words hurted Stella making her eyes moistened. She nodded her head in understanding and then she immediately left the place without looking back.

" I don't want any disturbance in my life and if it comes after scolding you every now and then, then I am ready for it too.", Damian said to himself in his heart seeing Stella's retreating figure.
