"Ryan Sir," A timid looking man came running towards a tall, muscular man, "We're ruined. The takeover process of our business chain by Picosys is complete. Anaika can fire all of us in just a snap of fingers.

The tall man was too handsome, almost like a Greek sculpture. His muscled arms bulging from his half-folded sleeves, his towering height, his gelled hair and his face...no wonder girls threw themselves over him.

In spite of all that disaster, the man was smiling. He said, "I've heard Anaika had thrown a lavish party at her place tonight."

"Yes Sir," the man said, "But she didn't call you."

"I go where I please whenever I please," Ryan said, "I don't need that bitch's permission for anything. Tonight and I'll make sure that Anaika would end up begging at my feet and hands over Dad's business back to me."

Saying that Ryan charged off the room.

When Ryan entered the party, it had already begun. Ryan at once recognised Anaika. In her shimmery black bodycon, nude stilletos, purple lipstick and messy hair, Anaika was looking like a dark faery queen.

Ryan boldly asked Anaika for a dance but Anaika ignoring him, took Shaurya on the dance floor.

"No, no madam," Shaurya stammered, "I don't even know ABCD of dance."

"Let me teach you then," Anaika hoarsely whispered in Shaurya's ear. Anaika pulled Shaurya closed to herself and put his hand on her waist and she put her own hand on Shaurya's shoulder and began swaying.

Anaika was a dark witch for everyone but Shaurya didn't know why whenever he saw her, he felt a protective kind energy emanating from her. Yes, she was a tigress who'd tear apart those vile hunters, but for him she was a comforting presence. But from what had Sakshi told him..."No! No! No! You are not like other men Shaurya who are bewitched by Anaika's charms," Shaurya said to himself, "Your focus should be only on truth."

On the other hand even with another dance partner, Ryan was leering at Anaika and touching her inappropriately whenever he got chance.

Late at party, when Anaika was so drunk that she was not even able to walk without stumbling. Thinking this was the perfect opportunity, Ryan kissed Anaika and Anaika kissed him back, hungrily and wildly. Ryan had never seen such an intense kisser and he was utterly engrossed in the kiss when he realised blood dripping from his mouth. Anaika was biting his lips and tongue hard, too hard. Ryan tried his best to detach from Anaika's kiss but Anaika's was almost coiled around his lips like a viper. Shaurya tried to avert his eyes but he was surprised to find instead of having eyes closed, Anaika was staring straight into Shaurya's eyes and her eyes were clear and she was seeming not at all drunk as she seemed a few minutes ago.

Anaika kissed him and only pulled apart when Ryan's lower lip was detached from his mouth. (P.S.: This incident is real and happened just last week in Meerut when an eve-teaser forcibly kissed a woman on her mouth working on the fields and the woman bit him so hard that his both lips detached from his mouth. The man then pleaded for three hours in front of the woman to get his detached lips back. Then after making the eve-teaser plead for three hours, the woman got the man arrested and the police had to request the woman to give the lips back, anyways now back to story)

Ryan screamed taking his detached lower lip in his hand.

The day after when Ryan returned after getting surgery done to mend his detached lip, he found Naira in a bathrobe lying on his bed and smoking. Her toned legs were glistening in the afternoon sun. Ryan knew very well the effort applied to achieve this effortless-looking summer look. Her face with a nude lipstick was no less than a model.

"Not bad!" Naira said, "That's what you get when you can't control your urges."

"Says the one who has left her husband and daughter at home under the pretence of visiting an ill friend only to get inside the sheets with another man," taunted Ryan.

"Not another man," Naira hissed as she began kissing Ryan on his name, pulling Ryan into the bed with her, "You are MY man."

Ryan turned his face towards Naira with a jerk, "Who's your husband then?"

"Not again, Ryan," Naira kept kissing Ryan, "We've talked about it earlier."

"What's the problem, Naira?" Ryan got up from the bed, "I am filthy rich. Why can't I live with you and my daughter? You know all that bullying and ragging in college...I had to interest in it. I participated only to please you. I even did it with Nitya after you told me to for six fucking months."

"Shhh..."Naira kept her finger on Ryan's lips, "Have you gone mad? She's not your daughter. And what's with all that talk of college? Were you a kid then? I said bully someone so you bullied them. I said do it with N...fuck I don't even want to take that nobody's name. She was just a worm fit only to be crushed by my shoes. Do you think if you hadn't done it with that weakling, I'd have gotten someone else to do it with her. Didn't you have brain? Don't blame me for your animalistic lust."

"Hmm...maybe I should get done Kiara's paternity test, and send the report to your husband."

"Fine, Kiara is your daughter by birth," Naira said, "But I don't want the world to know. You have money, sorry you had money. But my husband, he has money, power and reputation. He's a fucking MP and you and your father were just leeches who somehow got rich. My husband family is of my level, is of the same level as my prestigious family."

"Getting your junior raped by your classmate, having a child with that classmate even though being married to another man, meeting that classmate every alternate day to have s** with him, wow I envy the prestige of yours and your family!"Ryan said when he received a message on his phone.

Ryan,
Sorry for that night! I was mad drunk and your lips were yummy! Come for a tattoo date with me.

xoxo
Anaika

Anaika was getting herself inked in a cool tattoo parlor. Below her nape was the art of a tigress being revealed from inside the skin of a gazelle and tearing apart an evil-looking hunter with Karma written over it.

"I've just gotten my tattoo done," Anaika air-kissed Ryan getting up. She was wearing a yellow sundress. And then she blindfolded Ryan, "The best part of getting a tattoo done is the surprise."

Ryan wasn't sure why the tattoo making process this time was so painful. He was a fan of tattoos and he had already many tattoos done over his body but it didn't hurt as much as that day before. When Ryan opened his eyes before a mirror, he saw Anaika's little dog written over his chest.

"What the hell is this?" Ryan bellowed.

"Sir Anaika ma'am loves dogs and she always used to tell when she'd have a. boyfriend, she would call him her little dog. You are boyfriend of Anaika ma'am. Is it not true?"

Before Ryan could say anything, Anaika said, standing beside Ryan, "Of course, he is my boyfriend, Ria. Ryan is my little dog." Anaika started kissing Ryan's ears, whispering, "Tell na, who are you Ryan?"

Ryan felt a heat spreading throughout his body having Anaika in such a close proximity to him, "I... I'm your boyfriend."

"You're my little dog," Anaika whispered hoarsely.

"Yes, I'm your little dog," Ryan said.

They went to the bar at Anaika's house where Anaika mixed impotency pills in Ryan's glass of scotch.

"You are so proud of your manliness, Mr. Ryan D'Souza, so much that you use innocent girls' dignity to satisfy it," Anaika thought to herself as she saw Ryan gladly drinking the scotch, "Now just wait and watch how I strip you of your manliness everyday little by little."

Next day, Anaika was not surprised when she received a new application for the position of her junior secretary.

"So you're my new secretary," Anaika said, swiveling her chair to face Naira.

"Yes Anaika," Naira said, looking Anaika in the eyes. She was neither nervous nor afraid of Anaika like others. Impressive!

"You need a basic class in manners, Naira," Anaika said, "You don't call your master on first name basis."

"Sorry ma'am," Naira said without any apology in her voice.

"Get a cup of coffee for me, strong, without milk and sugar," Anaika ordered.

When Naira brought a cup of coffee, Anaika spat it on Naira's face and said, "This coffee is crap like your face."

"But ma'am I made it just as you like it," Naira protested.

"So now you're answering back at me," Anaika said and poured the entire warm coffee on Naira's head.

"Just some days, Anaika," Naira thought to herself, "Then I'll expose you to the world and watch your destruction. You dared snatch my Ryan for me. Wait for some days, not even a beggar will spit at you."

At night when Naira was having dinner with her family, Anaika called her with the order of bringing some files from office to Anaika's home. It took Naira three hours to reach Anaika's home with files. Anaika had called her to her bedroom.

When Naira opened the door of Anaika's bedroom, she was frozen...The bodies of Anaika and Ryan were entwined with each other.

Embarassed, Naira proceeded to close the door but she heard Anaika's loving voice, "Oh come Naira! I've a work for you."

Naira started going away.

"I don't like to repeat myself," Anaika's voice was authoritative.

Naira stood before her as Ryan was kissing Anaika's hands.

"Naira, while my little dog pleases me," Anaika said, with a soft moan in between, "You do my pedicure and manicure and apply nail polish on my hands and feet."

As Ryan was kissing Anaika's nape, and Naira was doing Anaika's manicure with her eyes filled with tears, Anaika pushed away Ryan and whispered in Naira's ears, "I hope you don't have a problem seeing us like that. But why would you have any problem? You are married yourself. You must be doing the same things with your husband as me and Ryan are doing. And anyway it's not your man I'm f***ing, right?" Saying that Anaika left a soft peck on Naira's cheek.

After leaving Anaika's house, Naira didn't went straight to her home. She went on a cliff and sobbed and screamed. She was crying. The Naira Roy who never had a single tear in her eye ever since she was five, was now sobbing and it was Anaika who made her cry. But now it'll be Anaika who will sob and beg just like that Nitya. Anaika had messed with the most wrong person and she would pay for it.
