Sam was dressed in a peach length chiffon dress....she was busy in the kitchen baking chocolate cake for Nitin....her hair was tied in a messy bun covered in flour and chocolate....Sam transferred the contents in the baking tray....she placed it in the oven and smiled like a child waiting for the timer to go off...as the timer beeped Sam happily pulled out the tray...she inhaled the aroma...smiling her eyes closed... ''Now the icing part....'' Sam was about to put the cream on the cake when two strong bands of arms swept her off the floor....Sam wriggled ; ''Nitinnnnnnnnnnnnl! Let me go....I have to finish the cake'' Nitin just laughed leaving sweet kisses at the back of her neck....they stumbled and the cake fell off the kitchen slab....there was a deep silence....Sam's nostrils flared...

Nitin moved back in his defence...Sam picked up the broken cake....she threw it on Niti he ducked; ''Sam I am sorry...baby I am seeing you after a month...couldn't control I am sorry...''

Sam; ''Sorry !!!!...hell with your sorry....I am in the kitchen since morning preparing this cake for your welcome...and you duffer spoiled everything...I will kill you'' Sam was still holding the icing cone in her hand...she accidentally pressed it throwing the chocolate cream all overNitin....'' Sam laughed

Nitin looked up; ''Now revenge...'' Sam squealed running on the other side...Nitin ran after her and caught her Sam tried throwing more cream on him...but instead all the cream was all over the floor and on these two....Nitin finally got control over Sam...she was on the floor, captured under Nitin...her hands were locked above her head ...Nitin smiled; ''I think I have a perfect welcome dessert here...you soaked in chocolate....shall I devour you''

Sam blushed ...her heart started hammering in her chest...Nitin lowered his face licking the chocolate off Sam's face and neck...she moaned as his lips touched her sensitive skin...Sam felt desire flowing through her blood heating her body up....Nitin left her hands leaving trail of kisses on her neck moving down her bosom...Sam's fingers moved into Nitin's hair holding him tightly...she whispered; ''Nitin..! ''

Nitin looked into her love drugged eyes; ''My name never sounded this beautiful before....you don't know how much I missed you...NEVER.EVER . LEAVE ME . ALONE.'' Sam smiled and hugged him tightly proclaiming her love again...

As the memories faded pain took over him again...and today he victim was his personal squash court ....he kept taking the shots, as he gained the momentum in the game..his shots turned harder...all he could remember was Sam in Arjun's arms....Nitin smashed the ball into the wall finishing the game...he dialled Niharika; ''Get me details on Raima's next business plans''

Niharika fumbled ; ''H...How will I know''

Nitin; ''Get me the details or don't show me your face again''

Niharika was clueless ...she didn't know how was she supposed to get details of the tigress...if she knows she would rip her into pieces....but to her luck ...she had befriended a girl from Arjun's staff in one of the events...that girl happened to meet Niharika slipping the information that Raima was travelling to London with Arjun......Nitin smiled he dismissed Niharika and dialled a no. ; ''Alex this is your chance...Raima will be in London...make the best of it''

Nitin disconnected...his POV; 'Now you will come to me Sam....I will set things right'

BLING Mumbai

Sam was busy in her cabin...there was of pile of projects waiting for her approval...almost every big name wanted to work with BLING Media... their marketing and promotional plans were the ace ones... but end of the day it was BLING who chose which project to accept and which to reject and in this Sam was worse than Raima... Sam was scrolling through the different soft copies and pressing the delete button...Snehal watched; ''If this is your speed of rejecting...then we would be out of projects''

Sam smiled; ''Don't worry I will take care of it...by the way where were you yesterday night''

Snehal huffed; ''Started your interrogation... Ok here it is...one of the members of Arjun's team which is handled by his person manger Gupta is growing two friendly with Niharika... which might be a harm for us...I visited that girl yesterday to warn her''

Sam leaned on her chair furrowing her brows; ''NIHARIKA....kiddo do we have more on her''

Snehal; ''She is a snake....you won't believe its because for her we knew all about Nitin...she gave in for money....she wanted Nitin to completely depend on her....and this is why she was trying to prove that all your ideas were bad for him....this is how we know how you build his career''

Sam got up and moved to the large window she smirked ; ''Now its her turn....Ok Rini is leaving tonight...make the arrangements....I wish she gets her closure ''

Mumbai Airport

Raima got down from her car...Sam hugged her.. ''Rini...you are strong and you can handle anything and anyone ....''

Raima smiled; ''I will try....promise me Sam you won't be reckless behind me....you are changing''

Snehal pitched in; ''I will keep an eye on her'' Raima cupped Snehal's cheek and pecked her forehead...she grabbed her trolley and walked in Arjun was waiting for her in the VIP lounge

Once Raima was in....Sam's expression turned grave....she messaged Rana; 'have to meet Vinit now' Sam drove back home , once she realised Snehal was asleep Sam walked out ...

Sam walked into the dark room...she sat opposite to strapped Vinit....Rana gave a glass of water and she threw it on his face...Vinit jolted up....Sam moved under the light so that he knows who his captivator was and Vinit shivered; ''You really thought I didn't recognize you when you threw me off the road''

Rana was angry; ''I will kill him now''

Sam; ''Not now.....I was dead was 3 yrs....he will suffer my pain....'' Sam extended her hand Rana smiled and handed Sam a metal cutter....Sam placed Vinit's little finger and pressed it....his screams echoed the dungeon...but it soothed Sam's heart a lone tear escaped her eyes remembering the pain her family had to go through.... 3 years of Raima's sobs......her mothers broken voice ....her fathers health Sam was determined to take back all....she had kept hidden this from Raima because she wanted Raima to live and smile now....

LONDON Heathrow Airport

As the flight landed Arjun gently shook Raima she blinked and stretched her body....Arjun Raima walked out after the formalities....Raima decided to take Arjun to her apartment in London instead of hotel....she just wanted to stay close to him... Raima punched the key in and pushed the door....so many memories came back to her....this house was still full of the moments with Alex...it returned the echo of her memories with Alex.....her breakdown and then her transformation to Raima from Rini....Raima suddenly turned distant; ''Arjun you can take the bedroom on the right''

Arjun came close; ''why not same room....you wanted me close'' Raima turned around....her face was full of tears, she looked like a ghost ... Arjun cupped her face; ''No heiress .... make me a part of your pain...don't push me '' Arjun gently placed his forehead against Raima's he whispered ; ''If you can't love me...let me be your friend ....your pain makes my heart bleed''

Raima threw her arms around his neck hugging him tightly...she hid her face in his chest letting out painful sobs ; ''for once I don't want to be brave...it hurts Arjun...it pains....I thought I left all....but its still there''

Arjun held her tightly; ''then we will push it out of this house your heart together trust me'' Raima nodded like a doll

Raima moved out of Arjun's arms to pick her ringing phone; ''yes....''

Snehal spoke; ''Rini Alex knows you are in London''

Raima turned angry; ''How...'' Snehal narrated how one the members of Arjun's team leaked the information to Niharika...Raima calmed Snehal telling her that she will handle...Raima turned to Arjun and smiled; ''Our Unit and team had reached hotel...we will start the shooting of your trailer and brand endorsements from tomorrow ....for now would you like to have a coffee''

Arjun; ''Your kitchen is stocked up??? you are coming to London after 4 yrs...''

Raima smiled; ''My uncle did that for me..... I had informed him earlier....I will take you to his place''

Arjun smiled; ''Why ?? Why do you want to introduce me to your family''

Raima lowered her eyes; ''I don't know this just feels right ....''

Arjun walked to Raima and pulled her to him by waist....he caressed her face; ''this feels right because this is right...because you and me are right...'' Raima leaned on him pecking his cheek ...she buried her face in his embrace inhaling his scent....Raima knew Alex would be coming to see her ...but she didn't wanted to see him....she just wanted to stay in Arjun's arms forever ...Arjun realised that Raima was deeply hurt.....she appeared so strong ..but it was just a mask to cover her bleeding heart....Arjun tugged her hairs behind her ear , he loved her too much and wanted to see the real Raima...which he had heard so much about from Sam....

BLING office Mumbai

Sam was in a meeting when the receptionist barged in....Sam huffed; ''you are supposed to knock''

Receptionist; ''Ma'am Nitin is in reception ..he is creating a scene with the security''

Sam closed her eyes to control herself...she looked at Snehal; ''takeover the meeting....I will be back'' Snehal nodded and Sam left....

Sam walked angrily towards Nitin....'' now what ???...

Nitin; ''Sam I have corrected the wrong I did''

Sam looked around and asked him to follow her to the cabin...once inside Nitin started; ''Sam Alex and Raima will be one again....he will apologise to Raima ...he still loves her ....''

Sam closed her eyes  she knew what this was about...she screamed in a voice which Nitin had never heard; ''Who the hell you think you are....you think you can undo what you did...is she a doll...that one day for some money you break her life ...and now since you want yours back...you again started playing with hers....''

Nitin was disillusioned ; ''Sam....I just ....''

Sam; ''Leave Nitin...before I ask the security to throw you out.....''

Nitin crashed on his knees; ''Sam give me a chance ....let me explain why and what I did...please one chance''

Sam; ''nothing can change or reduce the pain ...leave Nitin....'' Sam left the room leaving a sobbing broken Nitin behind....Snehal who had concluded the meeting watched this...now she was pitying Nitin...she decided to speak to Rakhi

LONDON

Arjun was shooting was his movie trailer....it was a action movie...and the sequence was an action one...Raima kept checking the camera frame ....she was herself taking care of the final trailer which would be out for promotion...once the shoot was done....Arjun winked at Raima making her cheeks bloom....he changed and walked out extending his arm...Raima joined her hand with him...they walked towards her car and drove off to have a quality time together...after spending quality time together in a pub they drove off to Raima's apartment...as they walked out of the car...Raima was buried in Arjun's arms...but suddenly her feet halted ...Alex stood there dressed in black jacket...he looked pained...he hadn't shaved...there was some kind pain on his deep blue eyes....he moved forward without breaking the eye-lock... ''Rini can we talk''

Raima spat angrily; ''there is nothing to talk....'' Arjun's grip on her waist tighten realising her growing anger....

Alex moved his eyes to Arjun and then back to Raima; ''I know I wronged you...and I am sorry...but please just one chance to explain ''

Raima smirked; ''Did you give me that chance ....so why should I...and if you are here for the mansion...pay the money any and take it back''

Alex; ''Can we talk in private''

Raima; ''this is private...Arjun is a part of my life .....''

Arjun smiled; ''Heiress this is something between you and him.... hear him out ...for the moments you shared...I will waiting for you inside...Arjun pecked her forehead and walked inside the apartment

Alex; ''Rini I still love you...I always have I always will.... I was stupid to believe that man...but I loved you so much that those picture filled a kind of fury in my blood...I couldn't take it I lost control....tell me what you would have done ...if it was me in your place''

Raima; ''I would have believed the man I loved and not a random person talking nonsense about the one I love....''

Alex watched her face...she wasn't looking at him...he took two steps forward cupping her face; ''You have fallen for that guy...don't you...Rini...I am not asking you to comeback....I don't have the right to ask to come back...but can I ask you for forgiveness....please Rini forgive me'' Alex leaned his forehead on to Raima's ....closing his eyes...Raima watched his face... tears were streaming down his face...this was the man she loved with her soul....she was angry...but she couldn't hate him...

Raima cupped his face; ''if that makes you happy...I forgive you Alex...but I don't love you anymore.....''

Alex smiled sadly; ''I know...the moment I saw you with him I knew you are in love....I accept my defeat...''

Raima hugged him; ''Alex...you are an amazing man...you will find someone who will love you with all her heart..she will take all your pain away...but I am not the one...''

Alex ran his eyes all over her face ...he pecked her forehead letting his lips feel her skin for one last time.... ''Rini don't let my stupidity kill the real Rini.....the Rini I fell in love with .....I will be in peace if you smile....promise me you will try....''

Raima smiled; ''Ok so now all forgiven and forgotten....we can be friends''

Alex looked at her extended hand....he then looked straight into Raima brown eyes ....his blue ones were glassy now....there was a smile a smile that had peace with pain...accompanied with tears.....he pushed his hands into his pockets and started walking back words making Raima blink...Alex sadly spoke...his voice was choking; ''Staying close to you and not having right on you will kill me Rini...I have ...I will.... always love you.....we will never meet again.....keep smiling my life....and don't let your man go...he is priceless....he trusts you like no one....'' Alex gave Raima one longing glance , he smiled giving her a flying kiss....before walking off'' Raima stood there numb .... her heart felt light....she looked up towards her apartment....the balcony was empty....Arjun trusted her...he loved her ...he left her alone with her ex without a single doubt....he cared for her....he wanted her to get rid of the pain....he knew conversation with Alex will help her get a closure...a closure she had been looking for years .....Raima took a deep breath closing her eyes...the cold air seemed to sooth her burning soul.....she smiled as the tear rolled down her cheek....Raima brought her hand close to her heart.....gently feeling the beats...Raima opened her brown beautiful eyes; ''I love you Arjun'' She started walking towards her house...she was smiling....her feet gained momentum and she ran....up the stairs without caring to wait for elevators....the door was open....and there was her man sitting on the couch...with his head hung low.....Raima locked the door...took off her jacket and knelt infront of him cupping his cheeks....she lifted his face cupping his cheeks...his dark eyes had tears....there was a fear written on his handsome face; ''Why tears now''

Arjun; ''I am scared to lose you scared...that you will chose him''

Raima came close; ''Then why did you leave me alone with him''

Arjun; ''I wanted a closure ....I wanted to heal your heart....even if it meant losing you....your happiness ...your smile matters the most''

Raima watched him; ''what if I have decided to take Alex back''

Arjun gave her a sad smile he rubbed his thumb over her cheek; ''then I will let you go....''

Raima stayed quite...she pushed Arjun on the couch so getting on to his lap...locking her legs on either side of his waist...she leaned and kissed Arjun possessively...answering all his queries....Arjun wrapped his arms around her middle pulling her tightly to his body...he returned the kiss with same passion...but allowed her to dominate....Raima's lips moved madly absorbing him into her soul...she parted still staying in his arms...her forehead touching his....both were breathing hard....Raima looked at Arjun and smiled; ''If you still haven't understood....then here it is....I Love you my Super Star.....''

Arjun moved with a lightning speed bringing Raima below him... ; "Now you are mine....marry me heiress'' Raima nodded...Arjun joined their hands together leaning to steal her completely
