The Devil with a Halo (On hold)

Chapter 1 - Estranged Couples

-- Estranged Couples--

*Flashback*

"You will have to fall in the hell hole you dug for yourself." Erik sneered at me, and it almost scared the hell out of me.

"Get out of my room!" I yelled angrily, and without any word, he left.

This wasn't happening. This can't really happen, not with me, not now. This was not good..this is going to be disastrous.

Get yourself together, Skylar. Get yourself together.

~~***~~

I locked, actually double locked and triple checked the door of my apartment. One should never take risks right? I decided to take a cab to my workplace, Kapoor Industries, previously known as Jenkins. I've been working here for as long as I can remember.

I remember coming here to this big city, the city on which artists like Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift and so many more made songs, in the wee years of my life. Fucking my way up to where I am right now. No, not literally fucking, just faking a few details here and breaking some rules and laws there.

You can say - in my case, it is kind of an irony really.

The cab stopped in front of the building which has been providing me livelihood for quite some time now. To be honest, in these past few years I've went from a zero to hundred real quick; considering the fact that I didn't know shit about office atmosphere before coming here. But well I have mastered few things in here. Like, MS Office applications and office politics. My office politics game is strong and on fleek. Comes in handy, sometimes. 

Doesn't mean I am very fond of my job, but I really don't have any reasons to complain. So, what if it is not my passion or true calling? It keeps loaded. I mean my pay-cheque is quite a fat one, not like I am bragging. Because I remember, when I started working here it was thinner than a run-way model. 

I greeted the receptionist, like I always don't really do. It just depends on my mood really. I went into the elevator which stopped on every floor, much to my irritation. When I finally reached my floor, my own working space like always, was ready to greet me with shitload of documents on it. What I wouldn't do to just burn them and this whole darn building.

 I just happen to share a love-hate relationship with my professional life, and well with life in general. 

"Hey." George greeted and I greeted back. He is the most handsome man in this office, of course after Vivaan Kapoor, but hey who am I to ogle my best friend's beau?

"Sky, they called you in C.E.O's office." Axel informed me, once I was comfortably settled in my seat. So, god hates me? Fine..

"Why?" I asked, not that I didn't already know.

"I don't know." Axel shrugged, he is another one of the handsome guys but sadly I am not into blondes..oh what an irony since I am one.

"Fine." I said, and made my way towards Vivaan Kapoor's office. I swear, this man is borderline crazy and has tendency to throw tantrums which even a diva can't. I wish for my friend, Ruchi to be here but the Kapoor guy here broke her heart, and I feel somewhat responsible too. But hey is this my story to tell? Nopes.

What I can tell you is, never ever advise other people what you don't wanna be advised yourself. Seriously. 

I reached the top floor and entered his office without knocking. I am way past the formalities now. And the fear of losing my job too, not like I am in a position to get fired. 

"You asked for me." I said, walking towards his big desk, crossing my hands across my chest.

"You should have knocked." He glared at me. I would have been scared but I've seen worse.

"Yes, I should have knocked some sense into that thick skull of yours while I still had that chance." I replied, in return he just shook his head. He actually looked tired, if I didn't know him too well, I might as well would have thought of him to be heartbroken.

"Too feisty. You sure, you're not a redhead beneath that golden head of yours." The voice was recognizable. I know that voice and probably that voice knows me too. I was confused but did't forget to scoff at the generalization.

I turned around to face the hauntingly familiar voice, only to be surprised by a more than handsome face. A magnetically intimidating personality and the very same man.

Maybe, this office of Mr. Kapoor is the meeting point for all the estranged couples.

Hola Amazing People!

So, this is the first chapter and if it is not obvious enough it is in Skylar's P.O.V. and so will be the most of the story.

I know this is short, but I couldn't help but write it. How do you all like it? Do tell me in the comments.

And don't forget to click that star.

Oh and, any guesses on which is this other couple meeting in Mr. Kapoor's office for the not-so-first time? 

Vote and Comment!

Thanks!

Lot's of Love!
