Chapter 41: Chapter 41
"I haven't heard anything from Neil from the last 48 hours. What's he upto? I guess you know where is he?", Logan asked his wife pacing around his room.
"I have no idea, honey. Infact he is not receiving my phone calls too. And did not come home since our last meeting.", Alexia, his wife replied applying make up on her face.
"Do you have any idea what's going on his mind? Neither he was telling us anything nor involving us in any of his plan. Just pray to God that his steps don't create trouble for us. Otherwise, we all will be in danger again.", Logan said making himself comfortable on the couch.
" You don't have to worry at all, honey. You know I had manipulated our son against Abeer so much that he would not even doubt on us anymore with our intentions. Earlier, I used to tell him how Abeer had snatched everything, his place, his love, his family from him and threw us out of this family. I filled his mind with so much hatred towards Abeer that in future he would never even dare in his dreams to go against us. ", Alexia replied with a smirked on her face.
" Thank God that at that time when our family threw us out of this place you didn't tell the truth to our children and cooked up some fake stories against Abeer so that we did not reveal ourselves. Otherwise, my son must hate us for our sins. But till now, I don't understand why our daughter Roselet never went against Abeer. Infact, she prefers Abeer over Neil. Whenever she has given a chance to choose she would definitely choose Abeer over his real brother Neil. ", Logan said thinking for a while.
" Well even I didn't understand her love towards her cousin, Abeer. She never believed on our fake stories against him too. But what can we do in this matter? She is already suffering so much. Just pray that she will become fit and fine soon .", Alexia said to her husband.

" Marco is not a good choice for our next project Boss. Why are you taking him as one of our investor?", Liam said after looking at the files in his hand which Neil had given him to check.
"Did I ask for your opinion Liam?", Neil replied with a poker expression on his face.
By the way if you are so much interested in this topic then let me inform you I will make him partner as I'm helping him out with his illegal weapons crossing across the border while he will help me out financially by investing in my next hotel project where I would do my illegal business easily and noone will doubt on us as it would be a family restaurant where families come to enjoy themselves on the ground floor and first floor. And our other floors will be involved in our illegal business activity. ", Neil explained his ideas towards his future.
" But Boss.... ", Liam tried to explain his point but his sentence was cut in between by Neil.
"And if you are having any problem then let me know. Because I won't take seconds to fired you from your job.", Neil roared in anger making Liam shut his mouth.
"The moment I knew that you were going to replace Abeer boss I would have left my place at first. But I can't, unfortunately. Not before searching Abeer boss and giving his position back to him. Till then, even if I don't want I have to work under you, under your orders. ", Liam said to himself in his heart and leave the place.

Since after they came back from shopping they didn't share a single word to each other.
" Is that normal or Am I thinking too much? Why her behaviour is not looking normal towards me from the time we returned from our shopping?", Abeer asked himself seeing Khushi who was busy adjusting things she brought from the shopping.
"Umm.. Well Khushi while walking around outside I have seen people very excited, like there is some festival going around? Is that there is something I am missing?", Abeer asked Khushi, trying to start a conversation between them.
"Yeah.. That's because it's Christmas eve and tomorrow we will celebrate Christmas. So they are excited to celebrate it with their family and friends that's why.", Khushi informed Abeer without looking at him.
"Oh! It's Christmas. In my worries I forgot that festival. So what's your plan?", Abeer asked trying to talk with her again.
"Nothing... I have no plans.", Khushi declared and went towards her bedroom and slammed the door behind her, making Abeer's doubt right that there is something fishy.
"Oh! My God I haven't seen her anger side till now. How I am going to tolerate this side of hers patiently? Because I have never tolerated anyone's tantrum. Everyone surrounding me used to tolerate my anger, my tantrums when it comes to me whether out of fear or of respect.", Abeer talked to himself.
" And not to forget its Christmas tomorrow. And she has no one around to celebrate this festival with. Would I do something special for her? So that her anger also fade away with that. But why should I put so many efforts just to make her mood normal again? ", Abeer questioned himself in confusion.
" Because you can't see her like that stupid. You can't be happy if she will roam around you in anger. So it's better to make her smile before her volcano like anger burst out on us. ", Abeer's heart replied, clearing his confusion.
