Moon Or Stars?

Money

Oh. My. Fucking. Goodness.

Not a single word made sense. Whatever Arman had just said , sounded like utter bullcrap.

" I know I look like a punching bag to you right now but ..." said Arman but no one let him complete .

" What will you take to shut up man ! " asked Jai.

"Tu bahut pagal hai yaar. " said Daisy .
(YOU'RE TOTALLY MAD , DUDE. )

" My hand hurts soo bad. But I won't shy away from punching you in your perfect little white teeth. " said Payal.

" Okay. But you are not going to punch anyone. Until we reach the hotel room. And a last warning for everyone. One word . Say a single word and I'll throw all of you out of the car. " said Siddharth through clenched teeth.

" See she brings out the hulk in everyone while driving. " said Jai.

Daisy elbowed him in his stomach which led to Jai groan out loudly.

After a complete fourty five minutes of pin drop silence , they reached the hotel .

All of them headed to the Royale Suite , Siddharth had booked the entire floor under the name of Harsh to avoid suspicion.

And his credit card records were under the safekeeping of Feroz , his assistant , who also went to hiding so that Siddharth and Payal's location weren't leaked.

Once they entered the suite , Arman started speaking.

" Guys give me five minutes. Five minutes and I'll answer every single question of yours."

" Okay. " Said Siddharth before Payal could say anything else.

Arman started explaining.

" Remember Jai , you got a call from Kabir's number saying I couldn't hide Payal for a long time ? "

Jai nodded.

" Remember the fire that was started in his office ? No one found a footage on the CCTV , everything's gone. Poof ! " said Arman.

" He even got surveillance system installed in your house Payal, a tracker in your phone and car . And even in your parents' car. "

Payal didn't shake her stare from Arman.

" When I started my investigation , I asked him for a few paper , his company deals , your father's company papers and all . All your family assets were being evaluated for the past few months. And when everyone was trying to shift the blame on me , I found out your parents will papers. " said Arman.

" So ? What do the will papers mean? " asked Payal.

He smiled , " They mean everything. He did this for the property . You don't get it."

"Are you crazy ? He's rich enough for himself." Said Payal.

" No honey , listen , after your parents pass away , 70% of the total revenue from all sources , goes to you , rest of the 20% goes to a charity named Halo Foundation and what's remaining goes to him. " said Arman.

Payal nodded , everyone did .

"And if you die , the 70% is split in a very interesting way , 30% to the foundation and the rest for Kabir , and all your accounts and your revenue goes to Kabir . " said Arman .

" Still not convinced why he would risk all this for some money ? He's more established than anyone . " said Siddharth.

"It's not some money. It's a shit load of money. And even I don't know why he would risk his life for all of this ? " said Arman.

" Nothing makes sense to me anymore. What should I do now ?" Asked Payal.
