45. Together

Vansh sat on the couch, leisurely and opened the envelope. As expected, Riddhima had placed these documents in his office so that she can frame him for plagiarism. Well, it won't be exactly framing. "A naive approach to get back on me, Riddhima." He clicked his tongue and shook his head side to side. "Nah..."
If he is right, which he is, then, in a few hours, there will be a raid in his large mansion for these documents. She knew he had no cameras in his personal office so there would be no evidence to even point a finger at them. All of this for that Rajveer to restore what he had already lost. Vansh brought out the lighter from his upper, right pocket in his shirt and burned the pages along with the envelope to ashes.

Rajveer was clicking his shoes against the floor, while sitting in his room. His phone ringed and he went to pick his call immediately.

"Riddhima?"

"I am coming back. I have done as we planned. Now if God is with us, our trick should work. Have you informed the team?"

"Yes, they will raid his mansion in two hours. Do you think he took the bait?"

"I think so. I guess I know him well enough to successfully let him fall into his own trap."

"I don't like that."

"What?"

"...."

"Rajveer?"

"You, knowing him well."

Riddhima didn't reply to him after that. There was silence on the other side of the phone. He heard a knock on his door and got up to open the door.

Riddhima entered and Rajveer looked at her stunned. She was wearing a maroon, high slit dress with spaghetti straps and black pencil heels.

"You don't like that?" Riddhima mocked and closed the door behind her.

"I... From where are you coming?" Rajveer gaped at her and at her seductive walk towards him.

"I got this ready in just fifteen minutes. How do I look?"

"W...Why?" His throat felt dry.

Riddhima laughed softly. She walked closer to him and put her arms around his waist.
"Why... To show you, how much I know you." Her hands went up his back, to his nape, she stroked his hairs at the back of his head, just above his neck, loving the feel of his soft hairs in her hands.

"Riddhima..." Seeing Rajveer all nervous and ruffled up, Riddhima bursted into a laugh.

"Roma, Sejal and me are going for a party. I had not even dressed up properly. My hairs are already a mess. What did you think?" Riddhima settled herself on the bed, keeping a pillow behind her back.

"For a moment, I thought, somebody's else soul had gotten inside you."

"Well, what about Mahesh?," asked Riddhima.

"He has taken the bait. He had already given the other two songs to his boss. This time, he didn't even bother to change lyrics."

"Dad, I need your help. There are people who had helped in plagiarising my album. Some strong police team that can go against them and Vansh Raisinghania."

"You have started an unnecessary enmity with that mafia, Rajveer. I want you to..."

"I know, dad. My life is not in danger here. He is just playing petty games. Can you help me in this?"

"We would need an evidence."

"I will manage that. A strong evidence. Against my men that had betrayed me and against Vansh. Mahesh thinks that I have not discovered that he is a mole planted by Vansh Raisinghania. And that Ranjit, I will make sure to establish his singing career to new heights."
