A Mother's Will

Chapter 7

It was around lunch time now, when she was still walking around the huge palace. Ayaan then popped from behind and surprised her, and they then had a cat and mouse chase around the palace from the 5th where the library was, to the 6th where Riyaan had occupied a room to himself, and Kiara took the other extreme room of the floor, alongside Uncle Suraj's room, and then to the 4th floor, where they disturbed Uncle Param.

On the 4th floor also lived Ayaan, Raj Pita Pritam. Rooms for Amit and his tiny family were kept on the same floor, so he could have his place whenever he visited; nevertheless, he tried his best to be there for them. It's not easy to own a business after all. There were rooms for Abira and her family on the same floor.

Finally, on the third floor, the noise pierced the ears of the queen Ramaya, the second wife of Karanveer, and her daughter Akira, while Kabir simply watched them from the sitting area near the temple. He rather enjoyed that, and when they finally entered Jovana's room, Jovana was amazed to see the very quick renovation and was very pleased with it. She immediately shifted with only one bag. Ayaan asked her if she only had one bag, to which she said the rest was at her house in New York City. She planned quite suddenly to come to India when she was in Milan, so at that time she only had one bag, so she came with it.

Now, Jovana was a rich and successful girl; she had houses almost in every major city around the world, like New York, London, Paris, Sydney, Seoul, and Delhi, and the list goes on. She had almost 23 flats and 9 bungalows across the world; quite a property she had, and in every house of hers, which was perfect in every aspect, and Jovana having OCD herself kept everything nice and tidy, which means every fucking thing had to be neat.

Jovana told Ayaan, "I will go shopping this afternoon; don't worry." They both then went to the dining room and had lunch after everyone was done having lunch because Ayaan could sense the discomfort in her behavior and he knew she had not eaten anything nice last evening. They both talked, and by now they had found the common topics of conversation, business, love, and books. They never really got time to spend with each other, but they were exploiting it all now. He then asked Jovana if he could drop her somewhere; Jovana agreed, and Ayaan dropped her off at a mall. Jovana shopped for perfume, shoes, and two pairs of clothes with matching jewelry, and then took her car to her newest office and her first office in India. She had planned on making India her South-Asian headquarters.

Jovana had planned on making 10 launches within 10 days across India at the same time, so to make a name for her brand, it was a publicity trick. It was very late at night when she returned from the office, around 10 p.m., and around this time only, the whole family sat by the garden and had their desserts like every day. When she came, she was called by Ayaan to join, so she did. She picked up the lassi cup and was about to eat it. When Akira asked where you were returning from this late in the night, Jovana looked at her and said I had work to do and left the garden for her room. She was awake late in the night working on the launch ideas.

When she was hungry and came down to eat dinner, Ayaan said, "I knew you did not eat." They both talked over the dinner, and Jovana told him about the launch, and she said I have this appointment in two days at the ministry in Delhi; something was up with her arms deal, and they wanted to refine the contract. Ayaan said we have to increase the security anyway, and he will send a bodyguard with Jovana tomorrow. After all, it was the question of her security. After the threats and attacks happened, it was necessary for her to be safe like all other family members.
