"Oh my god! Are you serious,Meera?" Eleanor sounds ecstatic after hearing what I say.
"Yes." I hate it. I hate to say it. But I have to do this. The money is necessary and Dhruv's stated amount is more than enough to save Sonia's life.
But what about me? How am I going to stay with someone I hate from the core of my heart?
"It's amazing news, Meera. Honestly, I was so worried about you rejecting it and disappointing Mr. Saxena. But you made a smart decision,love. I'll say this to Mr. Saxena immediately."
"Okay. But Elen, what should I do next?"
"You've to sign the contract after reading and verifying everything written in it. John will be adding the negotiations you both agreed to in it."
Wait. Who's John? Is it the old lawyer guy?
"Okay. Let me know when it's coming."
"Oh,sure. It won't

"You agreed to the offer?!" Lai exclaims more than the questioning my statement." I told you,Lai. Me repeating it won't change the truth." I retort.Lai sighs and leans on her study desk, folding her arms over her chest."I hate your mom. I can't believe she asked you for money, better to say blackmailed you emotionally putting Sonia's education on stake!" She scoffs and looks outside her window on the west wing of her room."Well,she did. And she's not my mother. She can never be. Sounds cheesy like Cinderella but it's the truth. I don't even know whay father saw in her to replace her with my actual mother." I look down at my chipped nails. There's no nailpolish in them. I don't remember the last time I wore nailpolish."Maybe,she manipulated him.""Possible. But that doesn't matter now. Right now, I need a huge amount of money to st

"Meera!" I hear Laila calling me from behind. I wipe my tears and turn around with a grim face."Hey. Are you okay?" She comes near me and wraps her arms around me in a hug. I hug back."I'm so sorry from my mother's side. You know how she is. Please don't take her words seriously. She doesn't stay in a good mood nowadays. It's a daily drama I face." She rubs my back while her breath fans my hair strands."It's ok,Lai. I don't mind her words. And I don't think harsh words affect me anymore. It's a habit inaugurated by my mother." I press my lips tear, trying to suppress my tears from flowing down.Lai breaks the hug and looks at me with sad eyes."Please don't do that." I say with irritation."Do what?" Lai asks completely confused."Look at me with sympathy. You know that's the last thing I want." I say.&nbs

"Dhruv Saxena!" I say out of shock.God heard me when I said that a lot happened today.Lai on the other hand is jumping on the bed like the overexcited idiot she is."Glad that you recognised me. Since we'll be spending a lot of time together."Creep."Oh." That's all I reply. I don't know what else to say and other than that,Lai is literally leaning on me.I signal her to behave and sit on the bed,but madam is too excited for her own good."I called you to tell you how much happy and suprised I am to hear that you agreed to this. Even though, I don't see any reason for you to reject a guy like me, yet I always keep table for the odds." I can sense his cocky smile over the phone.There's every reason for me to reject him. But only one reason to stick to the deal. Money."Hmm." I reply

I stutter for a minute. Will he reject the contract?I am having mixed emotions. A part of me wants that to happen which is very evident by now. But the other part of me wants to hold onto it because of the benifits I will get from this deal."Well, since I have a good mood today, I won't judge you on that basis. But remember this as an important lesson, Miss Adarsh. I don't like to be hanged on anything. I hope you take care of that." His voice reaches my ears as a warning.Suddenly, I feel like shooting this guy from the phone. Why is he so disgusting when he opens his garbage mouth?"Okay. I apologise for my behavior,Mr. Saxena." I say in a straight tone with not a tinge of devotion in it. Honestly, I don't even want to care.Again, sure you want to have a deal with this guy,Meera? I question myself. He's even more difficult than the units I have

"How do you feel?" Lai closes her almirah and brings me a dress."What do you mean? What happened to me?" I raise my eyebrows. Did I get sick recently?Lai rolls her eyes at me and puts the dress on the bed."You just signed the contract. How do you feel?" She hops beside me on the bed."Seriously,Lai? How am I supposed to feel? I don't know. Maybe I feel like dancing and screaming 'Yes! My already screwed life is going to be more pathetic ever. Congratulations on the development'. Or maybe, I should jump off the roof. I'll give you the responsibility of planning my burial ceremony. Yayy!" I raise my hand,faking joy.Lai sighs and pats my shoulder."Don't worry,babes. It'll be fine. I hope that Saxena guy is better than the creep he sounded like yesterday.""Yeah, trust me. I want that more than you do. I'm thinking of ways

I gulp in the hot curry, letting the question burn my throat.Mrs. Sharma is an expert in throwing two bombs the same day."Umm,mo-" Lai starts speaking but I interrupt her."Sure,aunty. After finishing dinner, I'll call mom for a talk." I smile nervously.My stepmother won't be a problem if I explain her everything. Because she's the main reason I am into this mess. So I'll text her about it before I call her.But what about the package? What should I show her? Damn!Lai eyes me from the corner,but I avoid her glances. I'll explain her everything later. Our eye to eye secret code sharing may induce suspicion from aunty. Now I believe every word Lai said about her mother.She really is Sherlock Holmes 2.0."Come on, Aarti. The girl is here after a long time. Why do you disturb her with such stupid questions

"Should I come with you?" Lai asks me while rubbing her eyelids. Sleeping beauty is finally awake."No need. You stay here. I'll go to Eleanor to get my dress and makeup." I say wearing my tank top over my bra. I tie my hair in a ponytail carelessly and don't care to put anything in my face."You should apply some balm to your lips. They are cracking up." Lai looks at me with droopy eyes. Seriously? Even a sleepyhead can see that how bad my lips are? Great.I sigh. "Where's your lipbalm?" I ask, looking around.."It's in my college bag. I always carry it with me. In the first chain." She yawns, eating half of her words in the process.I unzip her bag and get Babylips out of it. I press my finger on the balm surface and brush my finger over my chapped lips. Geesh! They really are bad.I put it back in the bag and check my look on the mirror. Though,it do
