Metanoia (Shubman gill×Ishan kishan)

Chapter 34

Shubman's POV

The tap of dress shoes resonated through the empty corridor which lead upto the huge underground gym. As the heavy double doors opened,we are greeted by obnoxious loud cheering.All the finest recruited guards of the Kishan empire gathered around the boxing ring,in which a match is going on.Heat,sweat and adrenaline dominating the atmosphere of the room.And,Ryle,my bodyguard Shawn and I stood there in our tailored suits like a sore thumb.

"You see the tall,lean guy up in the ring?",Ryle shouted over the noise,and my eyes instantly caught the image of the guy,delivering some hard punches to the buff guy. "That's the new recruit."

The assassin who will be guarding my Ishan from afar.

Looks can be deceiving and the guy is proving it right now.His hits are quick and smooth,while simultaneously doing a good work at blocking his opponent's attack.And within a blink of an eye,the new recruit finished the match by delivering a swift uppercut that effectively knocked off his opponent.

"Sothis Castellanos",Ryle introduced once the crowd cleared up and the new recruit stood infront of us.He is a few inches taller than me,and up close he has scars,which are more prominent in the area around his jaw,sharp silver eyes assessing our faces.

"I hope you kno-"

"My job is to protect your boyfriend and eliminate any threat",a muscle in my jaw ticked at being cut off mid sentence.

"And if you fail to do your job-"

"Won't happen."

Fucking bustard won't let me finish a fucking sentence.

"Fuck up and you'll see.Now get back to the ring."

Seven of my finest and skillful guards fought against him for the next 1.5 hours. And he defeated,every single one of them.

"One last fight",I muttered standing face to face.I need to test him by myself if he is really capable of protecting him or not.The match started with me successfully landing a jab on his left cheek after about 2 to 3 minutes of trying.After fighting 8 whole guys,he sure did lose some stamina.Rather than attacking he is defending now,and the match stretched for 10minutes more till I finished him off with an uppercut,the same tactics he used to win the first match.

Sweat dripped down our naked bodies,ragged breaths leaving our mouth.A bruise is forming in his left cheek and jaw,while my lower lips bleed.It was indeed a good fucking fight.

"You start tomorrow,Castellanos",I said,walking off the ring.

"Thank you for the opportunity,Mr.Gill"

"Gill",I said into the phone without looking at the caller ID.

"The HR wants to meet you",my secretary Zara said,urgency in her voice.

"What's wrong,Zara?"

"Shubman,just come to the office as soon as possible",and she cut the call without any further explanation.

As I sit at the end of table,surrounded by the human resources officials in their tailored suits,pants and pencil skirts,I instantly knew something is seriously wrong.

"There's been a security breach,as a result all the datas are out,our new ideas,projects everything that our employees have been working on. And on top of that,the financial datas of the previous season are all wrong.A clear indication of poor authority."

"What?", I asked dumbfounded. Hundreds of thoughts clashing through my mind. When the fuck all of that happened?

"And on top of that,you as the chief executive officer,didn't even bother to look into this matter or inform us,Mr.Gill."
