Love Lies Bleeding

15. Ms. Randhawa!

Adhir's POV

"How am I supposed to meet Viktor Sokolov? He doesn't trust anyone. He just never allows anyone near him. It's a private party with exclusive security." I asked him. "Looks like someone is scared of that so-called exclusive security." Ahalya taunted me.

Only she can impress me every single time. I know why she is provoking me. "I don't fear anyone, sweetie," I said in a deep voice leaning towards her. "I can make that possible. You can go as 'The Adhir Shetty and boss of the Panthers.' You just need to have an alliance with the Italian mafia." Suddenly a voice spoke. Veer!

"See, I told you, he is useful," I whispered in Ahalya's ear. "But, he is still a kid." She whispered back. "Veer! You are not supposed to end up in the Mafia world. Stay off it." She said in a stern tone. "Didi, I'm not getting involved in the mafia. I'm already into this world. Relax, I can handle it." He declared, as brave as my lady.

"Let him be. We are there to protect him. Anyway, he'll soon leave abroad for further studies." I said in a low voice. "Now, speak, how are you going to send him in?" Sid said, leading him to stand.

"Hacking and expert devices. You can go and come out without any issues." He said in excitement. I turned to see her reaction. She tilted her head in surprise. I tapped her shoulder, mouthing it's ok.

"So, We need a lady who will help us to divert the attention from Adhir." He explained further. "Sid and I'll be arranging new spying gadgets which will help you cross the security and get all the information. These devices are highly advanced cameras and microphones, and I'll be monitoring from outside. Any problem, immediately we can move out." Veer clarified.

"Wait, where am I? I'll be with you, right?" Sid asked, confused. "Sid! You will be with Adhir inside the party because mafia bosses never attend parties without their second in command. And who'll be the lady that'll go with Adhir." He said.

"Definitely, not my sister," Ryan spoke. "I thought you were sleeping till now." She said in annoyance.

"I'll go with Adhir. I'm not letting any other woman touch him." She spilt, and I got stuck at the last sentence. "Any other woman what?" I jumped in response. "Nothing! I'll be attending the party with you. No more questions, and Ryan, relax, man, we will take care." She said, shushing Ryan. 'We!' I felt butterflies.

"Then it's decided that my daredevil and I will be attending the party along with Sid and Ryan and Veer will be outside, being prepared." I stood up concluding our plan. "What exactly are you going to do there?" Ryan asked because we were talking only about going inside. "We will know the boss of Vipers! What else do we need?" Ahalya said, getting up from the table. We are waiting for D-Day.

A/N POV

And finally, the D-day has come.
*On the D-Day* Around the evening time. "Sweetheart, are you done?" Adhir said checking his watch. They were all prepared for this day.

They'll find the snake who has been in hibernation for many years. "Yeah!!" Ahalya said, getting down the steps. Her heels clacked and echoed in the hall. He looked at her approaching figure. His eyes glued to her. He was eying from head to toe.

"This isn't the first time you have seen me in this sense of dressing. What's with that look?" She asked, reaching down. "What look?" He asked, still maintaining the same look. "You are looking at me as if... I'm an angel." She replied with a smile.

"You look... I'm out of words. How should I describe you? I should be a writer to do that, unfortunately I'm a mafia man. You look heavenly gorgeous! My Daredevil." He said putting his finger under her chin. She shyly smiled.

"Let's go. We have a lot to do tonight." Saying this she tapped his shoulder. "After you, my lady." Adhir showed the way to the car.

Ahalya wore a sleek maroon, long, backless dress, revealing her collar bone and paired it with black strappy heels along with the diamond earrings, which complimented Adhir's black tuxedo with maroon detailing.

They reached the destination, where the party was held. They were provided with the masks. Both of them entered the party with exclusive lens cameras and microphones, which were in their control to escape the security.

Adhir sat at the bar counter ordering whiskey. Ahalya sat at a table, waiting for him to complete the drink.

A woman with bare minimum clothes reached out to Adhir. She started to touch him, more like seducing him. Ahalya, witnessing all her actions, couldn't stop but reached out for him.

She stood between both of them and started to trace her hands on him. Slowly, she moved her hand to his hand, which was holding the whiskey glass; she moved to sit on his lap. Taking the whiskey glass from his hand she made him drink it from her hand.

He slowly whispered, "I think you know what you are doing. If you continue to sit like this, you'll awaken the beast in me. I hope you can handle him." "I'm not afraid of the beast though." She pushed her hair back from her shoulder, giving a proud smile because the woman just went back in defeat.

"Guys, we can clearly hear you. And Ahalya, have some shame, your brother is listening to all this shit." Ryan said through the micro-speaker. She retreated from his lap and stood up. "So.. you were saying something," Adhir asked, teasing her.

In response, she gave him an affectionate punch on his arms. "Guys, focus." Said Veer from the other side of the microphone.

"Let's have a couple dance." Said an Italian man. Both Adhir and Ahalya started to dance. "Is this necessary for us to dance? I want to know who the Viper's boss is." Ahalya said, moving with the beat.

He turned her around and pulled her close to his chest. "Where will he go? I have to attend the meeting as I did the business out of the Russian mafia's consignments. Soon I'll be in alliance with Viktor." Ahalya saw a group of people surrounding a table. "I think he is here." She gestured towards the table.

While she tried to move away from him and dance, he pulled her into a hug, whispering, "Stay alert when you are on the field, Ms. Randhawa." And proceeds to tie her mask which was supposed to fall.

He immediately traces his fingertips on her bare back, which gives her goosebumps. She stepped back at the sensation, he held her hand and got her off the dance floor. He bent to whisper as the volume was high. "Sid is here to set the meeting. You don't have to reveal your identity to Vipers. Relax my daredevil. Let's have a drink." Saying he took her to sit at a table.
