Manik's breath was fanning gently over my forehead as a few tendrils of my hair moved. The water droplets on his body glistened with the dim light. He stood strong with an intense gaze while I stood like a weak feather; quivering. We both resembled to the lion and the deer. 

I tried to move aside but he pulled me closer raising an eyebrow. He had an audacity to challenge my strength. I used all my strength to push him away from me by placing my fists on his rock hard chest. The more I pushed the more I bounced back to him. After struggling for a long time he finally gave up and loosened the grip on me. 

I took few steps away from him flaring my nostrils and pointing my fingers at him. His painting on the wall was enormous but the person standing in front of me was stronger. I doubt which one is more scary looking; the person in front of me or his painting with the tiger. 

"Don't you dare to touch me again." I shouted. My legs still trembling with fear while he casually tied the robe tighter around his waist. 

"If I were you, I would keep my voice down." He smirked. "Especially after entering the mansion through the vegetable supplies." 

I opened my mouth wide. How did he know? Did he also enter in the same way? Actually wait, he is The Boss here. Realization hit me hard and I tried to question him again just for the sake of my sanity. "Are you really the Boss here?"

"A single touch from me made you say that? Not bad!" He joked and I fumed. 

"I mean to say, The Boss of Malhotra Empire." I clarified. 

He turned his back to my face and picked up the wine glass in his hand and served himself from the bottle. "I would have shared the drink with you but there are two things important here. Firstly, I do not share anything which belongs to me. And secondly," he paused and faced me again while leaning his lower half body on the wall. "Miss Nandini Murthy doesn't drink."

He twirled the glass and slowly sipped the wine from his perfectly shaped lips. His eyes not leaving from my presence. Even if I moved an inch aside his eyes would move with me. Is he an automated robot? 

"Even if I drink Manik, I would never accept it from you." I said as anger started bubbling inside me slow and steadily. 

"Manik? It's been very long time since anyone called me by my first name. After all, I am the Boss here." 

How dare? He get to enjoy little things by destroying others world. 

"You must be feeling so high right now. After killing my family, destroying my world and making sure that I would live in constant suffering." I yelled but this time my eyes started tearing up without my consent.
