2 It irked Anaya, but she was more concerned with salvaging the situation, so ignored Ameya’s words. The party and further drama was all planned by Anaya. She had planned to make use of Chan and Ameya’s drunken actions as a reason to throw Chan out. Ameya was promised a role in an upcoming film if the plan succeeded. But who knew, Chan would react so harshly? He was so clear headed and decisive that Ameya didn’t even have a chance to kiss him properly. If Chan was even a bit hesitating, then Ameya would have taken it to the next level and then Anaya would make an issue out of it before anything happens. That was the plan, but everything flopped. “I should go back the next day itself. There is no way you would keep your promise after the plan failed, right? I should at least not miss my classes.” Ameya said with disappointment filled in her eyes. Keeping everything within the family was always the best. That’s why Ameya’s help was asked, instead of an outsider. But it rebounded. “

3 “I have something to discuss with you. When will you have time?” Jina was straight forward with her words. Though Chan had no idea what that was about, he still said, “Fine. But I won’t be free until evening. If it’s urgent, how about we talk on the way to the office?” “Okay. I will wait for you at the bus stop.” Jina said and walked downstairs. Chan hesitated for a moment and then went to have breakfast. Food was something Chan never wanted to miss. So he always tried to eat in time. As agreed, Jina was waiting for Chan at the bus stop. When the bus came they both got in. Jina sat at the last row and invited Chan to sit with her. Jina was sitting at the window seat and her hair was flying in the wind on to her face. In the morning sunlight Chan found that beautiful, but without any expression he sat next to her. “What’s going on between you and Ameya?” Jina asked without any delay. The question took Chan by surprise. “How did you know?” Chan asked in reply. “That’

The First times
Chan got off at the city hub and walked to the Lilac Works. On the way to the office he stopped to watch a huge building under construction. It was the tallest in the city and was under the final finishing works. It was rumored that the whole building was of a single corporation, but which, no one had any idea. Chan looked at the construction for a moment and then went to the office. Everything was normally running in the office, when Anna, secretary of Chairman Shaw ran over to Chan. Chan had admiration for Anna, who always wore an office suit, and a professional attitude. She was very diligent at her works and a good colleague too. So no matter what the task was going to be, Chan would comply at Anna’s request. “Are you busy now? If not, can you do me a favor?” Anna asked Chan in a pleading voice. Chan nodded at Anna, without much reaction. “Master Ahn has informed that he will be coming back in a few days. He will be accompanied by some business partners, so we need to prepare a

Mistaken Identity
Chan was still recovering and days went by slowly in the Lilac mansion. He had his own room and Anaya and her mother’s maids took care of him meticulously. Lian Shaw informed Chan, that it was because of his fractured rib that Anaya wasn’t sleeping with him in his room, in afraid of hurting him. Everything went by smoothly and Chan enjoyed the king like treatment from everyone. In the blink of an eye, he became the young master of the Shaw family. The care and love from everyone made his recovery faster too.The mail notifications made Chan wake up from his memories. He kept back the envelope and photo back into his bag. Anna had sent her share of files. Other departments are going to take their time in preparing. Since the inspection was over, Chan wasn’t having any other immediate work other than what Anna had given him. So he went to get a cup of coffee from the café across their office. But to his surprise he saw Jina there.Jina had a meeting with Ron Hailey and both of them were

The story behind
Except Jina, everyone was in utter shock. Jina kept looking at Chan and asked, “So, you are saying that, you aren’t Neil Lichen, but his assistant. According to you, it was us, who mistook you as Chan and it was our mistake to not look into who you really are.” Jina walked from behind the sofa and stood in front of Chan and continued, “Then explain why you were the one in the car that night Neil was meant to come to the Ochre city? And please explain why you had Neil’s identity card with your photo in it? Who are you in real? And who are you trying to fool?” Jina questioned him without any leeway and turned to sit at the single sofa nearby waiting for Chan to reply. It was then Shen Shaw grabbed on what on Jina had said. Whatever Jina said was true. He had seen his face in photographs before. How can they be so stupid to mistake someone else as Neil? After all Neil Lichen of Lichen Consortium was not some unknown person. Everyone knew how successful and powerful the young master of Li

The Blame Game
Shen Shaw stammered upon speaking. He cleared his throat again and said to everyone, “I don’t remember seeing two cards that night. All I saw was of Neil’s. How can I mistake Neil’s and Chan’s photo and mistake him as Neil? I also don’t know how this happened.” Jina found that Shen Shaw’s words can’t bring a clear picture to the troubles present. She thought about the things again to find out where the loophole was. Clearly, someone was lying or someone did a blunder. It was then Chan spoke to Shen Shaw, “Of course, you wouldn’t have seen both cards. Neil’s card was in my pocket and my card was in the bag. You must have seen Neil’s card and mistook me as Neil. But then again, you all must have seen Neil’s pictures before. How can you not recognize between me and him?” Chan’s words made sense. Now everyone looked at Shen Shaw. Shen Shaw felt guilty and looked around to find an excuse for himself. In the dark night and tensed situation, he would have made the mistake. He started to bl

The Wedding Scam
In Shen Shaw’s study, Lian Shaw and Anaya were staring at Shen Shaw with an urge to beat him up. Shen Shaw was thinking of a way to escape from his wife’s wrath as he knew it was him to blame now, for the blunder that happened. “Why are you not saying anything Shen? How are we going to solve this now? Do you have any idea, what kind of a mess you brought on our daughter? Will you open your mouth and say anything before I lose my patience completely?” Lian Shaw shouted at Shen Shaw after closing the door of the study room. “What should I say now? I did what you asked me to do. How can you just blame me for everything? I also didn’t know it wasn’t Neil. Even you and Anaya couldn’t recognize. Since it was your plan from the starting, why don’t you itself suggest a solution?” Shen Shaw passed the ball to Lian Shaw. Anaya, who was already brimming with anger on her own stupidity shouted, hearing her parents fight, “Will you two just shut up? I must have been momentarily stupid for believ

Jina Shaw not a Shaw
It was going to be a year since all these happened. Everyone had their hopes on Neil and his return, but that never happened. There was no news about him or his family during this time period. Gradually Anaya lost her patience and since then she had been trying to oust Chan from her life. Chan was now sitting in the rooftop garden sipping his coffee slowly. The cold was stronger here than at the road. But he enjoyed the moment and the view from here. As he went through all the things that had happened in the last one year, he felt astonished and disappointed at the same time. Chan had seen many things that kept him rewire his thoughts about people, especially the Shaws. “Humans are also animals and animals are governed by survival instincts. So am I.” Chan remembered what Jina had told about herself. In the past year, Chan also saw how different Jina was. ‘A lonely soul, in the middle of a crowd.’ For Chan that was Jina. He was still worried about what Jina was up to. Meeting Ron Ha

Unwanted Guests
For the next two days Chan avoided Jina at all costs. He wanted to see a flustered Jina and was enjoying seeing her searching for him everywhere. But on the third day, to his surprise Jina showed no interest in looking for Chan and this made him upset. This also made Chan to decide to meet Jina that day itself. So he fixed an appointment with her late in that evening, in the Lilac mansion itself, for avoiding any doubts. He had it all planned, but that’s when something unexpected happened. As Chan was getting ready to leave the office, he saw Anna running around with some files in a rush. It was already time for her to leave, but she doesn’t seem to care about that at all. There wasn’t anything urgent pending, so what made her busy, unknowing to Chan, made him suspicious. Chan brought a cup of coffee for Anna and enquired, “You don’t seem to be leaving any time soon. What came up all of a sudden?” Anna took the coffee from him and said, “Oh, I was craving for some sugar. You are the

Accusations
Inside the room, Jina was standing with a whiskey bottle ready to be broken on to Leo’s head. Leo, who was standing next to Jina, was smiling sheepishly seeing Jina’s tantrums. He was asking her to come to him obediently with his right hand and walking towards her slowly. Both Leo and Jina were shocked by Chan’s arrival. Chan rushed in and took the bottle from Jina’s hand by force and stood in front of her. He said to Jina, “You are not strong enough for this. So stay back. Don’t do anything rash.” “What the hell are you doing here? By any chance, are you playing the knight to save the damsel in distress?” Leo mocked Chan and stood there with his hands on hip as Leo was losing patience with both Jina and Chan. “If I have to, I will. But I never expected you to use an idiom correctly with that brain of yours. I am surprised.” Chan retorted. “You…What do you think of yourself? Master of this house? Or are you having an affair with her? Is that why you are so riled up now?” Leo was bo
