In Dubai (On The Day Of Party)
The grand palace-like building was decorated with flowers and lights. It was decorated as if it is a grand party of a very rich family but the truth was that it is a party where all the powerful and dangerous mafias are going to meet. One by one, many people were arriving. A beautiful black Bugatti La Voiture Noire arrived. Everyone's attention shifted to the car because the aura exuding from the car was telling them that the person who came is not someone to be messed with. They intensely stared at the car, as a bodyguard came out of the passenger seat and opened the back door. They all were shocked as they never expected that a beautiful young lady will come out of the car and elegantly walk inside the mansion. Then, a black and white Rolls Royce Phantom arrived and another beautiful lady, as young as the the lady who came before, came out of the car.

After getting down from the car, Vishakha quickly, yet gracefully, went to Sonam, who came just before her. All the people present were looking at both Vishakha and Sonam. Both women were looking stunning in their black and white gowns. As they walked in, the host of the party came to them and greeted them. After meeting and talking to some more people, Vishakha went to give her speech, which she prepared after being forced by Sonam. And Sonam went to the cocktail counter as she never liked parties. She ordered a mocktail and looked around as she had already delivered her speech.

Aarav had arrived early as he did not wanted any hassle. All the women present there were drooling over him. He looked very handsome in his black tuxedo. All women just wanted to go to him and win his heart, but Aarav's cold face and dangerous aura was stopping those women. He just wanted to go from there right away but his secretary, with lots of difficulty, convinced him to stay there for a while and give his speech. So, he just sat there and started to think about what had happened before a while. He smiled a little while thinking about it.

(FLASHBACK STARTS)

He was sipping on his glass of red wine, when a gorgeous woman, who was walking to the stage to give her speech, caught his attention. In her black and white gown, her light brown skin was shining and making her look like a goddess. That woman went to the stage and gave her speech. "Oh, so her name is Sonam. Very beautiful, just like her", Aarav thought. Then he turned to his secretary and asked, while pointing towards Sonam, "Secretary, tell me about her." His secretary opened the file, that contained all the details about all the people present in the party, and looked for Sonam's details. "Boss, she is one of the new Indian Mafia Queen, SAM. Real name is Sonam Malhotra. Age, 22. Nationality, Indian. Father, Nivaan Malhotra. Mother, Damini Malhotra. Siblings, one sister. Name, Drishti Malhotra. Known for being bubbly and sunny to her family and friends, cold to strangers, and merciless to those who try to hurt her family and friends. Trained for her position for 7 years. That's all for now, boss", his secretary told him everything about Sonam that was in the file. "What do you think? How will she act infront of me? ", asked Aarav. A cold voice replied him from behind, "Cold as the Himalayas." He looks behind and saw Vishakha glaring at him. He smirked and said, "Oh, Miss. Venom. Pleased to meet you." "Don't you dare pull any shitty trick on Sam", Vishakha calmly yet coldly warned him. Aarav chuckled and said, "Too late, Miss. Venom." Vishakha sighed to calm herself, as she knew nothing can stop the Italian Mafia King. She looked at him and said, "Aarav, it's not like I don't want Sonam to be happy or something. It's just that I want her to get everything best because she deserves the best. I know nothing can stop you now but please don't hurt her. She is not just my best friend. She is my life. A tear in her eye, and I will form a ocean of blood of those who hurt her. And don't think that I'm joking. I'm dead serious about her. If you promise me that you will keep her happy, even if it costs your life, I'll help you in winning her heart." Aarav knew that Vishakha will really do what she said and her threat was a real one. Aarav gave a reassuring smile and said, "I promise that I will keep her happy anyhow and at any cost. Now, happy? Miss. Sister-in-law?" He smirked as Vishakha laughed. "That was fast ", Vishakha said while laughing. She suddenly stopped laughing and became fully serious again. "Listen, before you even try to make a move on your soon-to-be wife, you have to get approval from your sister-in-laws first. By sister-in-laws, I mean me and Aarna." As she was talking to Aarav, she heard a round of claps which meant that Sonam's speech has ended. So, she just quickly said to Aarav, "Be prepared, in next five days, you will have to go through 5 tests. If you win with a 10 on 10 in every test, then I will tell you some secrets to impress Sonam. Got it?" Aarav was amused by this sudden challenge, so he just nodded in reply to Vishakha. Vishakha sweetly smiled, "Good. Best of luck."

(FLASHBACK ENDS)

"I will do anything to have you, my sunshine. Sonam, now you are mine. Only. Mine." Aarav thought to himself while watching Sonam and Vishakha going back.
