A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

"I've alredy told my decision to you, Mr. Mehrotra. This land is not for sale. It's our ancestors' land and we aren't selling it even for billions."

Hearing Prasad Kumar Purshottam, I couldn't stop myself but chuckle dryly. Slipping the leftover wine, I kept the glass on the table and looked around.

I am in Amritsar right now, meeting with the wealthiest man of Punjab, Prasad Kumar Purshottam to claim what is due. The so called ancestors' vast thirty acre land he is talking about was ours. My great grandfather and his brothers inherited this land from their ancestors. But during British rule, this came under them.

And after Independence, when the government was distributing the lands back before the act against it was passed, Prasad Purshottam's witty father took the chance and somehow claimed our land as his. So, basically they did fraud. But still being good enough, I was providing him money worth more than the land to this old man.

But, as they say some people are born fools, he is one of them.

"It's okay Mr. Purshottam. I think you should keep your ancestors' land, afterall it's their last symbol for you, no?" Old man looked confused with my sweet talks and from my peripheral vision, I noticed Rahul shaking his head in disbelief and I smirked before continuing.

"Besides, ancestors doesn't come back, your son will, though that's a different thing that after ten to fourteen years, but don't worry, he will."

And when Prasad Purshottam sat straight, I leaned back and sat comfortably crossing my one leg over my knee.

"What- what do you mean?" He stammered and I felt good. God, this is so much fun.

"Wait, you don't know? But how can't you know that your son, who by the way is going to give his nominations for elections this year, is himself a drug addict and drug supplier too?" I feigned innocence but smirked when saw all the colours on his face draining out. I signalled to Rahul and he nodded before showing the file to Purshottam who gulped as he kept turning pages, where all the illegal business and crimes of his oh so loving son were mentioned.

And as I said, this is so much fun.

"What- what do you want?"

"As if, you don't know?" For a moment, just for a moment, I felt bad for this man, but then I remembered that he knew about all the activities of his son and still he never stopped him, he isn't actually worthy of being a father.

"How much money will you give?" Now that really made me chuckle.

"Now, here is where you're wrong Mr. Prasad Purshottam. This deal was in money until twn minutes ago, but the moment you gave your final answer, I changed my mind. Now here, how this deal will work. You'll sign on the papers, naming this land on My grandfather- Mr. Amarnath Singh Mehrotra's name and I'll keep this secret and proofs safe with me. Otherwise, just for your information, Shrey Khanna, the owner of BGW News Channel, is searching something against your son. The decision is yours."
