Riddhima

After what felt like eternity, a knock on the door brought me out of my inner woman.

I was beyond furious at the fact that my own boss would be such narrow minded to think that girls are powerless.

Heaving a sigh, I mumbled some incoherent shit and opened the door.

I was met with a pair of dark orbs.

A familiar one at that, right then and there, my inner woman returned and I was furious yet again.

I would have possibly shut the door on his face but he had already pushed past me, entering my premises.

Irritation flashed through my face immediately and I do not care if he fires me anymore.

I would be glad if he actually fires me.

I do not want to serve as a servant to him anymore.

Even if I was not one, I took care that no harm came to him. And he just..

He sat across me and glanced towards me. "What do you want, sir?" I asked him bittersweet, while gritting my teeth.

He motioned me to sit down which I did even before he could say.

Detest flashed in his face. I loathe him for the hurt he has caused.

"How far do you know?" Oh, he meant about the stalking.

"Approximately three weeks" my short answer with an unbothered face, startled him.

I was not facing this man, my face never met his to remind him about his wrongdoings.

"It has been that long?!" he practically screamed at me. How dare this man.

Choking on air, he continued, "How much exactly?" I turned to him with a scowl.

My cold attitude seemed to bother him, good, it should.

"Today I was chasing down one of them, but did not manage to catch that one." I stated turning a blind eye.

"Wait, what do you mean one of them?" he stated, his eyes widened in realisation.

I gave him a look, and that also bothered him but he kept his cool.

"There are not just one of them, one is keeping an eye, the other is implanting the threats and I will not be surprised if there are more" I said shrugging my shoulders.

He gave me a Are-you-for-real-? look.

And I gave him a cold stare.

"Ok, so you are saying there might be more out there and you are not sure how many, you chased one down today but you lost it and then you came to my office to check on the threat but made a lie when I bumped into you there, right?" I nodded my head.

"Did you see that person's face or noticed something strange, maybe a clue on how to reach that person" he asked me investigating furthermore.

I turned to look at him, trying to think why he was so calm and is there a way to track that one person down?

True to my words, he was calm, keeping his cool. Realising that there was one thing that distinguished that person, "a tattoo, kind of weird like an eye with, umm... something like this" I drew the tattoo on a piece of paper.

It was quite weird, that this is a different type of tattoo because there was no one who wore that kind of tattoo.

An eye, curled lashes, not satanic but creepy enough to bring shudders.

He took a look at the paper and turned towards me. "Ok, we will work on this together" he stated and started walking out, wait what?!

"Whoa, whoa, my help is limited, I will not help you from here, you are on your own from now" I stated matter-of-fact ly.

He stopped midway and turned around.

And I heard a bang on the table and me saying, 'that is how'. He, he, he recorded it! With the video!

All the cool and cold attitude overflowing from me stopped, went dry and my folded arms, unfolded.

My eyes widened as realisation hit me hard, he recorded my footage of eccentric strength and now is blackmailing me to help him with his mess.

"Sorry, I did not hear you, pardon?" he sarcastically expressed.

"That, that is blackmailing! You, Mr. Vansh RaiSinghania, are blackmailing me! That is against law!" I pointed an accusing finger at him.

"Heard on the news that a girl worked as a superhero for a kid and saved her from being kidnapped, it was you, was it not it?" he stated while smirking at me.

He knows! He knows about that as well! Great work Riddhima, you just got doomed!

"I can submit this to the police as evidence on who brutally harmed an individual of this country" he walked out while saying those words.

"Well, he was a kidnapper, a, a bad guy, that is ok if I defend a small kid against that bastard!" I shouted at his retreating figure.

I can just imagine that playful smirk on his face, he got me there, damn!

Vansh

Quite easy, I found a flaw in her eccentric strength and used it against her.

I did not like her behavior towards me so I confronted her.

Learned some truths about the stalking, surprising enough, she was actually protecting me with a good plan.

But she could have at least told me about it.

I huffed in annoyance.

Some, one or two day ago, a shocking news came into my view about a girl kid talking about how she was saved by a superwoman.

At first, I thought, the kid was delusional but seeing her, I thought of taking out a secret operation and found out that it indeed was her.

The kid immediately recognised her after seeing the photo. Lucky enough, I shut her to say anything or else it will bring harm to not just her reputation but my company's as well.

So, I shut the kid off by bribing her and her family.

The shock on her face and her reaction gave me spine tickling laughs but I controlled it.

"I can submit this to the police as evidence on who brutally harmed an individual of this country" I walked out while saying those words.

The proud smirk displayed on my face while I heard her saying something like, the kidnapper was not a good guy himself and it was ok to defend a young kid against a dangerous man.

I chucked a bit and went back. Even if I was blackmailing her, I wanted her support and cooperation to find that threat my family and I are in.

I braced myself and my heart, it was time to face the danger and I will not let anyone harm my family.

I was determined to get that bastard and give that bastard the worst of punishments.

After this, it is a win-win situation.
