Unknowingly, the office was peaceful before the storm. "Liya, come to my office now!!!",the boss yelled. Everyone had been waiting for this , fearing that she might unleash her wrath on Liya. Liya was terrified as she went into her boss's office—that is, Alana Hart, the ruthless criminal lawyer and boss.When it comes to her work, she doesn't accept any errors. Her family is her only source of love and safety.The file flew towards Liya as soon as she entered the room.

"What the fuck is this Liya? I told you to look at this case and you to take it, but why are they demanding me?"

"I apologise, ma'am. I spoke with them, but I was unaware that they would do something like this"

"Make it right before tomorrow; I don't care.Leave now!"

I was furious beyond understanding

I was furious beyond understanding. I had the worst day ever.Unexpectedly, my sister in law called. I was taken aback."Hey sis"

"Hi Ana!" "you sound tired Elara, what happened?"

"Ah, nothing I was meant to prepare dinner for your brother's friends , but I'm trapped in the hospital due to two back-to-back surgeries. I was hoping you could go home and make dinner for them."

"Alright Ela. No worries."

"Thank you, love"

Following her phone call.I sighed since there was no way I would say no. I got up, grabbed my car keys, and told my assistant Sarah that I was leaving.I drove there for thirty-five minutes and then took the private lift to their penthouse.My older brother and his wife reside in separate house.To quote my  brother, "I need my privacy." After entering the house,I changed into something more comfortable, my gym clothes which I grabbed out of my car. And got to work in the kitchen. I have no idea how much time has gone by. I was almost finished.Suddenly I felt like there was a cold metal press against my skull. I snatched up the knife out of impulse, twisted it around, and held it to his throat.

Icy blue oceanic eyes staring back at me.He had a menacing yet seductive gaze. Even though I'm tall, I reach upto his shoulder.I asked him, "Who the fuck are you?" "I should be the one asking the questions, sweetheart." Oh my god, he had a deep, powerful tone. A shiver ran down my spine.

Eventually, someone yelled, "What the fuck is going on here and why are you laughing Ashton?" He was astounded.I turned to face him and saw that he was none other than Cillian, my brother's closest buddy.My brother, who was standing next to the refrigerator and carrying a water bottle, caught my attention.When did he enter?

"Lower the gun and knife Adrian and Alana," was said by a voice that I knew was that of Saathvik.

His eyes are captivating, just like his name made my breath catch.What on earth was I thinking? Ugh, Alana.

All of a sudden I am embarrassed by everyone's presence.

"Ana meet my friend Adrian and Adrian that's my sister" my brother introduced us.

He said, "She looks homeless; I thought she was an intruder." I was furious as hell."Excuse me , this is called gym clothes." He sneered with filthy disdain.

"What are you doing here, Ana?" Ashton asked before any of us could continue speaking."Ela had a surgery, she called me and asked if I can cook for you and your friends "

"why didn't she called me, we could have cooked" "what Ash hot water?" his friends laughed cause Ashton can't cook.

From behind, he whispered, "Well, something better than you." I immediately recognised the voice and turned to look at him only to discover that Cillian is dragging him out of there.

I yelled, "Get out," as soon as I noticed that Ash was still grinning.He gave up and walked away.

After I had done cooking and set the table, I came outside to discover them lying together on the couch and playing damn video games.who would say they are owner of the company and mafia leaders."Dinner is set at the table, I'm leaving," I yelled as I headed there.I disregarded his presence.As my purse was near him I approached him and grabbed my purse.

Feeling everyone's eyes on me, I asked, "What?" "Nothing", they collectively retorted.

"You can't go out like this, Ana. Wear some fucking clothes," my other brother Alex said. We are not on talking terms.Well we had a fight few days ago. "who are you, Alexander ? Anyways I'm heading to Siya's residence to prepare her."

Before he spoke, there was complete silence. At that moment, everyone's eyes shifted to Saathvik, who happens to be siya's brother.

"Groom is visiting her today and she might get married; please don't put more obstacles in her way."

"Shit," that captivating voice said . Alex then started yelling at Vik in anger. I didn't give a damn, so I just grabbed my purse and walked out, only to have him pin me to the wall in the parking lot ..Ahaan..I could feel my face being touched by his breath.His woodsy mint scent engulfing me. I was trembling from his contact yet I felt safe.

"Wear this fucking coat, you left a wrath there and everyone is beyond pissed." his voice was cold as ice.

I couldn't form any word and closed my eyes when he forced me to wear the coat.He wasn't there when I opened my eyes.I inhaled deeply and walked out. what is happening to me why am I affected by him.
