Love or Revenge

Chapter 28

After finishing their breakfast, Grace said, "So... I take my leave... I'll meet you in my office around lunch?" Zoya nodded and booked a cab for her. It's time to execute their plan. The first step of their plan to make Srivastav fall into their trap, if they succeed in this then it will be easy for them to execute the rest of their plan to get to him.

Zoya has to flirt her way into Srivastav's mind to accomplish her plan. She got to kill two more to bring peace to her Parent's souls. She has never worried about taking their lives after what they did to her parents. But now, with Aditya in the picture, she felt some kind of discomfort to go ahead with her plans.

She couldn't look into Aditya's eyes when she thinks that one day she has to face Aditya after killing his father. She doesn't know what she will tell him and how he will react after that. Somewhere, she felt that what he thinks about her is mattered to her. She knew well that what she is doing and going to do to Aditya is injustice and it's kind of itching her ever since she came to know about Aditya.

From his childhood, he was yearning for his father's love but he was always overpowered by his father and he accepted it. Now, after knowing him well she is doing the same to him. Instead of being honest with him, she is deceiving and overpowering him.

She couldn't dismiss the thought how Aditya is looking out for her. Aditya had resumed back to office. He told her that she can rejoin whenever she feels comfortable. And he left it to her choice whether to rejoin or to stay back at home as long as she is his wife. He even assured her that once she is out of this marriage that he'll help her to find a new job if she wanted to move on.

He is taking care of every little things for her and to make her feel comfortable at this house. She kind of felt lost somewhere and she couldn't put her finger why she is feeling like that.

Her phone chimed and she snapped out of her thought. It was from Grace and it reads, "We're ready to go ahead. You're coming for lunch, right?" Zoya sighed and replied, "YES, OUR PLAN IS ON". Grace sent a thumps up smiley.

Zoya looked at Aditya's name in her whatsapp list below and in an urge, she texted him, "Hi Aditya" and hit send. Before she could realize what she has done and delete the text. Aditya replied, "Hi, what's up?"

"Nothing, just like that... I'm going to Grace's Office today to have lunch with her", she replied. She slapped her forehead for blurting out to him. "Oh... Have fun... Text me if you need anything..." He replied and she received another immediately, "I'll inform Driver Suresh, he'll take you to Grace's Office."

She looked at the message for a minute long and sighed. She felt like killing herself for what she had done. "Thanks, Aditya, but I'll take cab. I don't require a car" she replied trying to control the damage that has been done already. "Zoya, you're part of the family and I don't want you to take cab. Please take our car", he requested.

She gave a thought and she knew he won't leave this until she accepts to take the car. She sighed and replied, "Okay. But on one condition, I don't want driver. I can drive to Grace's Office." He immediately responds, "Okay"

Zoya couldn't stop herself from smiling and she sent him a smiling smiley. And, he sent her a cool smiley.

Around afternoon, Zoya took one of the car and leave to Grace's Office. She informed Grace that she is leaving and will be there in another 1 hour. She reached Grace's office and parked the car in the parking lot. She took the lift to Grace's Office and knocked on her door.
