Fine , Make Me Your Villain .

It's been a month since the accident took place . And everything was going smooth . Jenni got discharged from the hospital two days back and today she decided to visit her favorite place .

Nahhh it's not , any other place , it's her cabin . It's her life , it's her wish , it's her solace . After losing faith on people , that's the only place she felt solace .

She entered the office and the office went quite . They were stunned to see her in office , they thought their boss might slack some more days but here she is and they know , it's going to be a big day .

With all thoughts aside , she sat in her seat and she could think only of the accident , she knew there's more to it . There is something more to everything these days she thought to herself.

She wanted to know it . Being on her own , taught her few things and the most important is to look out for herself . She called Kavya in and asked her for her daily schedule . And was looking through it .

Arjun was seen no where around in the office , and that made her worried . And when she was about to go look for him .

Kavya again came barging in the cabin with sweat dripping from her forehead . She looked so pale and she was shivering from all that Jenni could see .

She immediately made Kavya sit and asked what happened . Kavya took deep breaths and composed herself .

She then began saying everything which made Jenni's blood boil . She kept herself sane and was wondering when everyone started plotting against her .

She was shook by Kavya and was brought back to present . The duo then immediately went rushing to check their factory at the city limits , she was shaken to the core by Arjun's behavior and not the fire. It's what makes her who she is . She becomes attached to her loved ones and their actions affect her more than they know.

By the time they reached their factory , the fire was put out and all of the injured were taken to the hospital. She gulped down her angst and apprehension and pulled up a stoic face before she got down from her car . She walked fast yet she maintained her composure and elegance , she walked to the police officers and the head of the fire department to know about the incident and sent Kavya to check on the Manager to know the extent of fire and the damage done.

Right when she was about to open her mouth and fire questions to the officers , Arjun came correcting his bandage and that caught her attention, she was quick to mask it and Arjun caught it too. Arjun shook his head to let her know that he is absolutely pissed about her arrival and her health condition.

She focused on the officers and started to fire her questions , she wanted to know everything that has happened. She wanted her power back , even though she felt tired to her bones. The Officers were stunned to see her there , yet they managed to give out the details.

Right around the midnight someone out from the company has entered using duplicate key codes and started disarming the alarms and they went about to blow the whole factory away. When the night shift guys found out about the fire they quickly called in assistance and that helped to put out the fire soon without much damage. She was beyond pissed , but she thanked the officers and asked them to send any information they find about the arson.

She was shaken and tired , she didn't need additional drama in her life now but here they are with an arson this time. When she thanked the officers and turned to reach the manager , she bumped into someone who nearly made her fall .

But right when she thought she would hit the ground , she felt a hand wound around her hip which helped her to manage the footing. She opened her eyes to find a rich brown eyes , which were in so much panic that she felt it in her bones . Within a second , she unwound herself and took a step back in reflex and mumbled a quick sorry.

She again found herself looking at those guileless alert , champagne eyes . They looked sort of relieved and she couldn't fathom why she couldn't take her eyes off from those bewitching eyes. But her defense mechanism from the past kicked in quick much to her dismay and she took another step back from their bubble , bursting the moment .

The flustered man quickly looked around with embarrassment, while she found the idea of a grown man blushing kind of amusing. She cleared her throat and caught his attention again and that's when she noticed the camera dangling from his neck and the press ID stuffed into his front pocket .

All the fluster and amusement dropped the second she found press lingering there and her guards went up quick . He noticed the change in demeanor but stood quite expecting her array of questions . Rather she just muttered a thank you quickly and started to move forward .

Suddenly out of the reverie he was in , "Jenni" he called out making her stop in her tracks. And even before they could continue the conversation, Arjun came there while stretching his arm . Jenni threw a glare at his side and stormed out of the area .

Arjun and the Man looked at each other and shrugged before getting on their way .

It was late evening the same day and Jenni was eating the ears off Arjun for his careless behaviour. He was simply resting and behaving like a 12 year old child , which pissed her more.

They were bickering and fighting about the incident and the motives when her phone rang . She always records her call cause she's someone who can complete a deal in a phone call nowadays. And thank God for that foreboding behaviour.

When she took the call and waited for the other person to speak , all she could hear was utter silence . She waited and waited and when was about to cut the call , she heard something which made her straighten and more alive .

She kept completely quiet throughout the call and after a good five minutes, she cut the call and stood rooted to her place .  She knew everything was going to start now but she expected them to be secretive, she didn't expect them to make a direct threat.

She turned to Arjun and repeated the words she heard to make sure she hear correctly, "Appa and Amma are having a target on their backs now." This drained the colour out of their faces, She never publicly talked about her parent's details yet she knows it's simple to know her details in this era.
