Myra's POV:

It was now nearing 1 o' clock. We sat in his car once again and headed to his house because he needed to pick something up.

His house was beautiful. Much bigger than the mansion I used to live in the states. There was a fountain at the curbed parking space and when you walk up the three rock steps, you find a similar fountain, just more compact in size.

A woman, I believe in her late 30's, too young to be Kishan's mum walked out. The two didn't look a thing a like. She was mesmerizingly beautiful.

Her jet black straight her fell to her mid waist, showing no sign of ageing. Her skin flawless. Her eyes an emerald grey unlike Kishan's whose were chocolate brown.

Feeling a little awkward to be holding her son's hand in front of her, I decided to let go, but he only tightened his hold. I looked up at him and his expression had changed.

He had returned to who he was.

"Hi, I'm Ridhi, Ruhaan's mum" she said coming closer to greet me in a hug, "nice to meet you, Mrs-"

"Stay away from her Ridhi. She's the one and only thing I have left now, don't steal her. Just get lost."

Ridhi's eyes teared up and she moved back. Kishan dragged me up the stairs behind him and I never removed my gaze from Ridhi as I ascended behind Kishan.

We entered a room I assumed was his bedroom. It had a huge king size bed in the middle with two steps leading up to it with a quilt covered with the picture of a red Lamborghini.

There was a punching bag to the side, a study table, iMac, dresser, a chest of drawers and a door to the right of me.

He walked up the steps and grabbed something off of his bed, "what was that?"

"What was what, Mira?" he said seemingly puzzled. Realisation dawned upon him, "oh that, that's normal."

"How can it be normal Kishan, where are your manners? She is your mum-" he walked towards me dropping whatever he was holding onto the mattress, "she is not my mum!"

Huh? I think I've done it again. How can I be this stupid?

"I-I'm so-rry. I-I did-n't mean.." I stuttered as he once again returned to the Kishan I love, "It's fine Mira" and he walked back to the bed, turning around counting 5 bundles of notes of british currency.

"All this money..."

"The only thing my dad has given me Mira. I have a lot of money. But money is just something I need, not want," he sighed,

"Sometimes those who have nothing, have everything."

3PM.

Kishan had just dropped me outside the dorm, promising to pick me up once again at 7 tonight for a date.

This was the happiest day of my life. I felt like a pampered princess for the first time in my life. Not because of the riches he was showering me with, but the love he was giving me, knowingly or unknowingly, it didn't matter.

I greeted Mrs. Jolly once again and she winked back asking how Kishan, uh, well Ruhaan is. I replied before heading towards the flight of stairs as the elevator was preoccupied.
