“You want me to put red chilli powder on her head?” He asked Rose, lifting an eyebrow and others were confused too. Except for Leo, Pasha, and Rose, as they laughed like maniacs, while Mishka put her palm on her mouth to suppress her laughter. “No, silly boy, this is vermillion. It’s a symbol of matrimony in Indian culture like we wear rings on our ring finger,” Rose explained. Christian nodded his head, pursing his lips. His eyes travelled to Mishka, and he glared hard at her, “I know! I was just kidding,” He snapped, and the latter nodded, composing herself. “Okay, now take this out a little on your finger and apply it in the middle of the hair partition,” Rose explained, and Christian followed the ritual. He put the vermillion in the hair partition and Mishka closed her eyes. A slight of vermillion fell on her nose. Everyone was looking at them lovingly, including Vera, and Danny took lots of their pictures on his phone. Jake and Jessica entered the scene right on time, and they
Mishka quickly wiped her tears when she heard a knock on the door. She stood back on her feet, composing herself, and opened the door with a smile on her face. “Sir Christian is waiting for you in the car,” Agatha said, and Mishka’s smile dropped.“Why?” Mishka asked, furrowing her eyebrows.“I don’t know. Sir Leo asked me to deliver the message to you,” Agatha answered, and Mishka nodded her head. She picked up her mobile from the side table and walked out of the Knight mansion.She opened the door of the back seat and sat next to Christian. “What happened? Why you called me here?” She asked Christian, but he ignored her question and asked the driver to start the car when Jake knocked on the window and Mishka rolled down the window on her side.“Where are you going? I thought we will have breakfast together.” Jake asked, leaning at the window.“Yeah… I was about to join you guys, but Chris called me here.” Mishka answered, taking a glance at Christian, who was busy on his phone.“But
Christian suddenly felt guilty about his behaviour with Mishka in front of his employees. He didn’t intend to do it, but his impulse took over him. He looked at her hurt expression when his employees laughed at his silly remark, and as Mishka turned to leave, he stopped her. “Okay, you can sit here, but don’t disturb us,” Christian said, and Mishka turned to look at him. “Thanks, I will not disturb you!” Mishka said and entered the room. “You can take that seat,” Christian gestured to the last chair at the end of the long wooden conference table and focused back on his laptop. Mishka nodded her head with a smile and sat on the chair which was far away from him and his team. Tapping her long slender fingers on the glass table, she looked at the spare laptop lying in front of her, and then looked at Christian. “Can I use this laptop?” She asked, and Christian looked at her, raising his eyebrow. “Certainly you can, but it’s not working,” Christian said and glared at his team. “Okay,
In the President’s office, on the twenty-fifth floor of Knight Group, “May I come in?” Mishka asked, tilting her head. “Oh yes, please come in.” Danny smiled, rising from his chair, and Mishka walked in with a small white sheet of paper in her hand. “You asked for half an hour and you are back in just fifteen minutes.” Christian narrowed his eyes. “You failed to solve the problem.” He said, taking a glance at his wristwatch. Mishka opened her mouth to answer him, but he interrupted. “Anyway, it’s alright. Danny, call that hacker Karen Shaw. I hope he is free to entertain us.” Christian sighed, gazing at Danny when Mishka interrupted him. “I have already dealt with the issue, and I have tracked the IP address. This is the detail. Call the cops and they will do the rest of the job.” Mishka forwarded the white slip in Christian’s direction and the latter stared at her, slowly taking a look at the white slip on his desk. Danny, watching Christian’s embarrassed face, wanted to laugh ba
“What the hel….” Mishka turned and screeched loudly, but watching Christian’s intense eyes pinned at her. Mishka’s next word died in her throat.“I'm taking my wife out for lunch, so you, my dear cousin, better focus on your work and stop intruding between the newlywed couple,” Christian said in a domineering voice, one that sends chills down the spine, and without waiting for his response, he disconnected the call.“Who decided we are going out?” Mishka asked, folding her arms beneath her breast.“I decided,” Christian responded calmly, and before Mishka could react, he continued, “It’s my way of saying thank you for the help you provided today and the last time.”Mishka looked at him, narrowing her eyes, “It’s fine. There is no need for you to take me out for a lunch.” She answered, and Christian slightly opened his mouth at her blunt refusal. Danny, on the other hand, was amazed, too.It was the first time that someone rejected a lunch date with his Greek god-like friend. Danny stil
“Did you find how the chandelier fell?” Pasha asked his trusted man on the phone call, and his eyes widened when he heard the reply from the other side. “What?” He shrieked. “Yes, someone cut the rope of the chandelier and tried to kill them.” The man from the other side answered. “Did you check the CCTV cameras?” Pasha asked, biting his lips. “Yes sir, but all the cameras on the second floor are blank, nothing recorded.” “I see,” Pasha responded. “But when we checked the recording near the bar, we saw Jake looking up at something, and then storming towards the staircase. He might know something regarding this. Do you want me to interrogate him?” The man asked, and Pasha furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “No, officer, I will look into this matter personally. Anyway, thanks for the help.” Pasha said and ended the call. He remembered an incident from the past where someone tried to kill Luke as well when Leo announced his retirement and was about to hand over Knight Group to Luk
Christian watched Mishka rushing inside the mansion and rested his head on the steering wheel and called Danny. “I fucked up again!” He sighed. “What did you do now?” Danny asked, genuinely concerned about him. “I don’t know! I feel trapped. Since the day I’ve taken her signature, I feel suffocated! I can’t breathe.” Christian explained his feelings. “I don’t have any commitments toward her, but I feel like I’m cheating on her.” Danny sighed on the other side as Christian continued. “The world seems to disappear when I am with her. I am trying to shake off this feeling, but failing miserably. I don’t want to be like Vera, who was in love with someone else and married someone else, destroying three lives!” “Calm down, Chris!” Danny said. “No matter how much you try to convince yourself that Mishka isn’t the right one for you, your heart knows the truth! Why are you insulting Mishka every now and then? Are you afraid that her qualities will make you fall for her or are you afraid bec
Christian mumbled sorry to Mishka stroking her cheek. He was about to pick her up in his arms when he found her clutching something in her hand. Christian leaned forward, knitting his eyebrows in confusion, and opened her hand only to find a small decorated elephant-faced wax statue. Christian picked it up in his hand, and levelling up to his eyes, he smiled looking at it. He knew it was a statue of Lord Ganesha (The destroyer of obstacles), one of the prominent Indian Gods of Hindu Mythology. Christian put the idol of Lord Ganesha inside his pocket and carefully picked up Mishka in his arms. He walked back to his room and laid her down on the bed gently when he found one of the shirt’s buttons stuck in his pendent. Staring at her face, Christian tore his button as he didn’t want to disturb her. He covered her with a comforter and retrieved the idol from his pocket, walking to the wooden wall mounted stand. Removing the expensive vase he especially brought from Italy, Christian pl
