Chapter 71: Chapter 71

"I think Liam would be suitable for this position as he was the most loyal to our gang.", Mr. Malhotra suggested, sitting on his chair.

"What the hell.. That poor Liam?", Neil asked in shock.

"Yes.. Do you have any problem my child?", Mr. Malhotra questioned, raising his eyebrow.

"But Grandpa, don't you think you have better options than him around you?"Neil asked feeling annoyed.

"I can't see someone performing better than him in this field, Neil. Do you?", Mr. Malhotra questioned.

Neil was fuming in anger inside but masked his emotions as he didn't want his grandfather to know about his hidden intentions.

"Why the hell Grandma lied to me? I thought I was going to be the next representative but it seems here Grandfather has some other plans."Neil spoke to himself in his heart.

" I am talking to you son. Why are you not responding to me? ", Mr. Malhotra asked, snapping his finger trying to grab his grand child's attention.

" Oh! Yes Grandpa.. What are you saying? Could you please repeat. I was lost in my own world of thoughts for some time. ", Neil mumbled.

" I have sent your name, son. I was just kidding with you. Don't get panicked and angry. Your grandmother had already proposed your name to me.",Mr. Malhotra smiled looking at Neil.

Neil started smiling too hearing this. He could not believe that finally his dream was getting fulfilled now.

" Ma'am I think you should start acting more real. Because Scarlett is now in the phase of growing. She starts having so many questions in her mind regarding her family and that's why she would try to inquire more.", Mrs. Briganza informed.

"I know Mrs. Briganza and for acting like her real mother I was hired but you also know that my sick mother needs me more at home. I can't leave her like this totally. It's my duty to serve her. Please try to understand.", Emily, (Scarlett's fake mother) explained her side.

"But Ma'am she is really small and girls of her age need their mother and father beside her. Damian Sir has strictly instructed me to forward this warning to you. You can't take so much leave, especially now. I want you to be more attentive towards her.",Mrs. Briganza warned Emily in her warning tone.

" So what's your plan for the evening, Miss.? ", Abeer asked out of the blue.

" Plan? What type of plan? ", Khushi questioned confusingly, stopping her work in the middle.

" I mean to say the weather outside is really pleasant. Why don't you go out for sometime so that you would feel better? ", Abeer asked.

Abeer was trying to move Khushi outside of the apartment so that he would also go to meet Scarlett as he had promised to her earlier.

" No Arnan. I have no plans of going out. I have lots of work to do so it's better to utilize my free time in doing this.", Khushi proposed, focusing back on her work.

"Oh! No, if she won't go outside, how will I fulfill my promise that I have made to Scarlett?", Abeer spoke to himself in his heart.

"Now stop crying, Doll.", Damian wiped away tears from Stella's cheeks making her eyes pop out in shock hearing the endearment Damian used for her just now.

"How could I stop crying? When I know my life is a total waste. I will never get someone who would love me back with all his heart without any selfish reason, just pure love for me. Someone who would be ready to fight against the whole world for me but would never let anyone raise their fingers towards me. In his arms my morning starts and in his embrace my night ends, who would pamper me, tolerate my mood swings. I know God has not made someone like this for me. So for a change I thought to play with my destiny.

I made a boyfriend who would fulfill all my wishes and in return I will give him my virgin.. ", Stella stopped herself from speaking when she found herself in the air.

Damian raised her in a bridal style and made his way towards the washroom. Stella clutched his shirt tightly and closed her eyes in fear of what next he was going to do with her.

" Boss.. Please leave me. You are scaring the shit out of me. Please keep me down.", Stella started pleading, clutching Damian's shirt more tightly.

Damian opened the washroom door and put her below the shower and started the knob of the shower making her wet fully from top to bottom. She was wrapped up in her towel but her eyes bulged out in astonishment seeing her Boss action making her speechless and numb for sometime.

Damian was watching her silently crossing his hands on his chest. His eyes never leave hers. But not for once he tried to take advantage of her situation or touch her inappropriately or misbehave with her.

"You must be thinking why did I put you here at this late night time? So let me answer you doll, no one I repeat no one has the audacity to touch or lead their eyes on things or people who belong to me. And sweetheart don't forget that you only belong to me so you can't give anything to anyone without my permission.",Damian spoke in his husky voice coming towards her ear and kissed her forehead making her close her eyes.

Chills ran down her spine witnessing the proximity between her and Damian. He never got this close to her in his entire work time. Neither does he show any of his feelings towards her. But today he surprised her with his behavior. She wanted to believe that this was the reality but somewhere she was scared what if it turns out to be a dream.

"If dreams are this beautiful then I really don't want to wake up ever. I want to sleep forever so that you would come like this and make me feel happy like this with your presence.",Stella spoke, her eyes being closed.

For the first time she actually started enjoying in the shower so late at night when it was too cold outside, forgetting her pain and remembering only her love.

Her love for Damian.
