Vikram's POV

'How can you do this to us?' An angry voice boomed in my cabin.

I looked up from the file I was checking and there in front of me was my Angel. She has grown into a beautiful young lady with perfect curves in the past twelve years.
She was no more my cute Angel who used to always ask me to act as her prince charming.

"What happened Mr. Malhotra cat caught your tongue?' she asked.

'No Angel, you caught my breathe,' I said with a smirk.

'No one knows better than you that this company is dad's life then how can you buy it from Mittal uncle by paying him double amount. There my dad is going crazy but you are sitting in dad's cabin like a lion in his own den and never call me Angel otherwise I will kick your as*s,' he yelled at me and I chuckled.

'Uh uh my Angel is feisty and let me tell you Angel it is my company so I have a right to sit like a lion in his own den,' I said.

'Why are you doing this?' she asked angrily.

'Because I want to destroy your dad as my family suffered because of him,' I said angrily remembering how much my parents suffered because of her dad, Rahul Jaywardhan.

'But dad said Suraj uncle betrayed him,' she said.

'No, my dad never betrayed him but your dad couldn't trust his friend and business partner,' I shouted at her and she looked at me with hatred in her eyes and without saying anything she was leaving.

"On one condition I can give Rahul his company back,' I said and she stopped and turned towards me.

'What?' she asked.

'Work as my secretary for one year and then I will give Rahul his company back,' I said and she looked at me shockingly.

'I hate you, you have became a Devil, and I will never work with you and I cannot leave my coffee shop,' she said.

'Just for one year Angel and then company is his,' I said.

'Why are you doing this?' she asked with a sigh.

'Because I want to see Rahul's reaction when he will come to his princess will work with me,' I said with a smirk.

'Okay, I can do anything for my dad,' she said and I smiled.

Before I could say anything her mobile rang.

She opened her purse and took out the mobile and looked at it for some seconds..

'What is Anaya's mobile doing in my purse?' she mumbled and then picked the call.

'What?' her face became pale and she mumbled an "okay" and cut the call.

'Angel ,what happened?' I asked and made her sit on the chair and gave her a glass of water. She drank the whole glass of water.

'What happened?' I asked again.

'Nothing' she said angrily.

'If you don't tell me I will not give your dad his company back,' I blackmailed her as I wanted to know what happened that she suddenly became so tensed.

'Bank called and I came to know that my friend Anaya is not able to pay the installment of our coffee shop for the past six months and bank will take the jewelry that she kept as mortgage if they will not get the money in two days,' she said.

I had no idea that she owns a coffee shop..

'How will I manage nine lakhs? I can't even ask dad. Whom will I ask? They can't take the jewelry as jewelry was the last thing her grandmother gifted Anaya before she died,' she was talking with herself.

'I can give you nine lakhs,' I said and suddenly there was hope in her eyes.

'You have to stay with me for six months.' As soon as I said this her expression changed from hope to anger.

She came and stood in front of me.

'How can you stoop so low? Working as your secretary was fine but staying with you? And I will stay as your servant, slave or your wh**e?" she asked angrily.

As soon as she said this anger flashed within me.

I held her arm and made her sit on the chair harshly.

'You will not be my servant, slave or WH**E, we will stay as partners, Angel.' I explained her.

'I will never stay with you,' she said.

'Think about it Angel, you can save your coffee shop and your friend's jewelry,' I said and she looked at me with disgust.

Without saying anything she was leaving my cabin. Before leaving she stood there for some seconds.

'I have to do it for Anaya. I can't let them take her jewelry,' she said and with a grin on my face I signed a cheque of nine lakhs and gave it to her and she left after saying thanks.

I sat on my chair and laughed remembering how she said she will kick my ass if I call her Angel but she was my Angel from the first time I saw her in a pretty white dress on her third birthday.

I used to forget all my pain whenever I was with her.

Today when I saw her after twelve years I came to know she is my Angel. Yes, she had grown up but the innocence is still there but now she had became more feisty and stubborn.

It was never my plan to give Rahul his company back but if Angel works with me and stays with me then I can give him his company back as I want to see Rahul going crazy when he comes to know that his princess is staying with me and working with me.

She said she hates me and I have become a Devil but she doesn't know what we suffered.

I pulled myself out of these thoughts and went back to my work.

Finally they met....:)
