Chapter 76: Chapter 76
After enjoying their dinner together, Scarlett dropped Abeer at his apartment.
The level of excitement reached its fullest when Scarlett was with Abeer as he fulfilled his promise without any excuse that made her so much happy as she discussed everything with him from her school to her tuition which she really wanted to share with her family.
But as usual her family did not have that much time to spend with her, which made her feel like alone every time. But today she was on cloud nine after spending time with Abeer.
"These kids are so innocent like what to say. They don't need expensive things to become happy. They find their happiness in these small things which we adults can't find that easily and that's why we suffered.", Abeer spoke to himself and turned towards his apartment.
Slowly he made his way towards the living room without making any noise with the fear of being caught red handed by Khushi.
" So finally you came? Care to tell where you have gone without caring to inform me about your whereabouts.", Khushi questioned from behind making Abeer numb for a moment.
"Oh! No, I really get caught by her so easily. The man from whom everyone fears so much is hiding like a rat to not get caught by that cat Khushi. How time changes, really no one can predict!", Abeer was busy talking to himself in his heart, forgetting Khushi who was waiting for an answer from him.
Khushi snapped at him to take him back from his thoughts of the world that was when Abeer realized the reality.
" Umm... I went outside. ", Abeer answered.
"I guess someone told me that there are very big big mice here and it will take time to catch them all or Am I really started dreaming with open eyes?", Khushi asked looking at Abeer.
"Is this really the end of my story here? Will she now kick my ass and throw me out of her house?", Abeer questioned himself by closing his eyes.

Liam turned to see who was laughing so loud and was shocked to see the source of voice.
"Boss, why are you laughing? Should I call the doctor? Are you alright?", Liam asked, running towards Mr. MALHOTRA.
"What do you think Liam? I am some foolish old stupid man who would let my build up empire ruin so easily?", Mr. Malhotra asked, making Liam surprised at his question.
"What.. What do you mean boss? I thought you chose Neil and would transfer everything to him and retire then.", Liam stuttered.
"Oh! SHUT UP. Do you really think that stupid grandson of mine deserves to become the next Mafia king?", Mr. Malhotra asked, raising his eyebrow.
"But boss you have decided..", Liam's words were cut in between by Mr. Malhotra.
"Don't forget, I am your Boss, not you are mine. A student will remain a student in front of his teacher, no matter how successful he becomes.",Mr. MALHOTRA responded.
"Then what's that announcement of Neil becoming the next Mafia king?", Liam asked, confused totally.
"That's my next move of my plan. And soon everyone will know about my plan when it will be successful till then enjoy the game.",Mr. Malhotra revealed, making Liam shocked.
"Okay boss now I will take your leave now.", With that Liam turned towards the door to leave from there when Mr. Malhotra's warning made him stop on his way.
" You are my trusted man Liam, that's why I shared it with you. I hope this will remain a secret between us otherwise you know the consequences." Mr. Malhotra said, taking a puff from his cigar.

"Don't you have any manners? Don't you know eavesdropping is a bad manner?", Damian questioned.
"You know very well that I am a bad girl. Then how can you expect me to be well mannered? Hmmm?" Stella questioned back.
"Don't you dare to say a word against you otherwise the consequences can be worse Stella. Why do you always mistreat you? Why can't you respect yourself just like you always do me?" Damian questioned.
"Because from the beginning you made me think that I am not that type of girl who could be loved by you. That's why I started thinking of myself bad.", Stella confessed with moistened eyes.
"How could you stupid? How could you think of yourself so low? Could not you see whenever it for you I went against everyone to protect your self respect? And remember one thing true love never make you doubt on yourself. It never lets you question your own identity. In Fact, it will help you to grow with your partner together. True love will make you feel your existence right. It will make you share every moment with your partner whether it's happiness or anything sad. If that is making you feel shame on yourself then I am sorry but that's not true love at all.",Damian explained.
" I.. I.. I am sorry. I thought like that before but now I understood how wrong I was and realized why every time when it came to me you raised your voice for me. ", Stella spoke with tearful eyes.
" Stop crying, girl. I warned you before not to cry in front of me. I don't know ways to stop you from crying and I can't see tears in your eyes. ", Damian said wiping her tears.
" I did not know that you knew so much about true love. You surprised me with your lecture on love. Tough guy like you, who never shows any kind of emotion on his face, knows so much about love, isn't it strange? "Stella questioned.
" Don't judge a person by its look baby, you never really know a person just by its look, for that you have to know them by their heart and spend time with them to know their real behavior. And how they behave with people small to them and older to them when no one is really watching them tells a lot about a real person's personality. " Damian replied, kissing Stella on her lips.
