Chapter 1

People say that those who do good, have good. But for Nandini Murthy this thing never worked.

Staring at her reflection in the mirror she pursed her lips. It was difficult to figure out whether she was trying to merge the lipstick by doing so or was controlling the urge of tears which was stinging her eyes.

Another new night...

But having nothing different in it came with ease in her life and she was once again ready to go out..

Madam Ellie called that appreciation but for her it was nothing more then humiliation.

Every night she felt disgusted when the dirty, cheap eyes of drunk and drugged people used to fall on her as if they were striping her naked..

Wearing a lingerie type outfit which helped a little to hide her woman assets and swaying her hips on the dance floor was not an easy task. Though it made her the top dancer of the Greystone night club but it snatched her peace and calm.

Losing mother shouldn't have to be much difficult for her if her father wouldn't have married another woman who truely played the role of being a stepmother..

If her mother was a prostitute and her father fell for her then what was her fault?

Her mother died before she could even feel her arms. After that she always being abused by her stepmother for being the daughter of a prostitute...

"Jesi Maa wesi beti" was the most famous quote of her life.

Her father was loving but he was a working man. He used to be out day and night to fulfill the needs of her stepmother and her stepsister.

The day she turned 22 was the day her father died of cardiac arrest. Her stepmother didn't waste a single second to throw her out of the house without even thinking what if something happened to her?

"Mother! Mother please! Open the door! Where will I live?? I have no money either! Please have some mercy?? Please!!!! Main kahan jaoan ge?" She had shouted banging the gate of the house. It was midnight and was raining cats and dogs. But her stepmother didn't open the door..

She was being abandoned by her family and had nothing to live for..

She inherited the dancing skills from her mother so it wasn't much difficult for her to get a job!

She still remember the time when her stepmother beat her with a wooden stick just because she wanted a doll just like her stepsister..

When she tried to argue her mother beat her more by saying..

"Never ever dare to argue with me!"

And thwack!!

Nth time the stick hit her body and she unintentionally hissed still remembering the pain...

"Nandini! It's time!" Henry's voice brought her out of trance and she opened the eyes to once again stare in her own lifeless ones...

"Are you coming or not?" Henry growled and her head snapped at him in anger..

"Stay in your limits you ugly rat! Are you in a position to argue with Nandini Murthy??? You don't love your job??" She barked ruthlessly and Henry made a bad face before storming out of the dressing room.

Once again she turned to mirror and got up. Then she started checking her preparations once again.

Red sleeveless and backless gown, with a cut from thigh till the end at left leg, was hugging her body tightly. Two silver emarlends were shining in her ears along with a silver pendant. Her hair was nicely tucked in a French bun and the five inches black heels were giving her a good height. Her chubby cheeks were crimson due to the blush on. Dark red lipstick was looking killing on her petal soft lips. Her thick eyelashes were fully covered with mascara and the eyelids were heavily covered with smoky shades along with a thin eyeliner. The hazel orbs were filled with innocence but nobody ever tried to see through them.

She felt a pat on her shoulder and turned to see Jessica standing with a sad smile on her face..

"Am glad that you scolded Henry! He is an ass!" She said lowly and Nandini shook her head..

"I will talk to Madam Ellie to replace him! He disgusts me too!" She said in an assuring tone..

"When?? When will you talk to her?" She asked impatiently and Nandini gave her a strange look..

"I will do it soon! But what's so hurry?" She asked curiously and suddenly she noticed wetness in Jessica's eyes. "Jesy? Are you crying?? What happened??" She freaked out holding on to Jessica's hands and she sniffed..

"Last night!" She hiccupped. "Henry forcefully went into Tracy's room!" She continued and Nandini's breath stopped. Tracy was a newbie here and was hardly 18 years old. She was a good friend with Jessica and Nandini. "And...!" Jessica stopped..

"Did he rape her??" Nandini asked in a hollow tone and Jessica nodded with a crying face..

Nandini turned and held the mirror shelf for support..

This thing wasn't new for her..

The world in which she was living was cruel! Merciless! Rude! Filled with monsters!

Only she knew how she was still living 'untouched'. Keyword: Untouched...

Whenever she danced around the people, the way they used to hold her hand, touched her unnecessarily made her feel disgusted. She used to take the bath for hours. To clean the dirt which was covering her till neck.

She knew that one day everything will suffocate her so much that she won't be able to make it.

"Tracy! I...I found her in the po-pool of blood in morning!" Jesy was crying and She thought she will have a nervous breakdown right there and then..

She was strong...yes she was..

Nandini turned to her and Jessy looked at her...

"Did you tell Madam Ellie?" Nandini asked in a robotic tone and Jessica nodded frantically. "Then?" She demanded..

"She! She said that it wasn't a big deal! Tracy should have agreed to what Henry wanted! She said that it was Tracy's fault!" Jesy told her in a low voice and her blood literally boiled...

"That old sh!tty b!tch! Bimbo!" She cursed and without waiting for Jesy's response she stormed towards Ellison, the owner's office.

Without bothering to knock she almost kicked it open and the scene in front of her made her more disgusted as she saw Henry kissing Ellison, both parted away with a jerk due to the loud banging sound of the door...

"Nandini! Don't you have manners!?" Ellison asked in a displeased tone and she was staring at Henry who was shamelessly wiping the Ellie's lipstick off his lips..

"What? Why are you staring at me shorty?? Want a good fu*k?" He asked with a disgusting smirk on his face and that was enough...

She almost run towards him and standing on her heel toes she slapped the hell out of him that he stumbled back..

"You bas*ard!!" She roared her lungs out and Ellison came in between them but she pushed her away. "Stay away!!" Nandini told her in an authoritative tone and Ellison gulped..

"You filthy little sl*t!" Henry too shouted and before he could pounce on her she kicked him in his balls he screamed in pain and fell back...

"You deserved to be in hell! You raped Tracy!!!" She shouted again hitting him with her heel covered foot and this time Ellison pulled her away..

"Nandini stop it!" She shouted holding her back and she gave her a deadly glare...

"I WANT THIS MAN OUT OF THE CLUB RIGHT NOW!!" She spoke in a dangerous tone and Ellison shook her head to say something. "Not a word Ellison! Not a word! Or else! Jacqueline is offering me double of the salary you give me!" She threatened her and
Ellison didn't speak a word after that..

After five minutes the club guards threw an almost dead Henry out of the club..

Nandini leaned on Ellison's desk and she stared at her as if she will eat Nandini up...

"Eyes down Ellison!" She growled and Ellison gritted her teeth. "I am working with you since last one and a half year yeah?? This! This club of yours! It is running because of ME!! You know that don't you??" She asked in a dead cold tone and Ellison's expressions were priceless..

"I know!" She muttered..

"Then listen to me carefully! You will accept my one condition!" Nandini demanded and Ellison shook her head..

"No! No condition!" She said in a dismissing tone and Nandini shrugged..

"Okay no problem Can I use your phone?" Nandini said in a calm down tone and Ellison gave her a confused look before handing her the phone.

Nandini scrolled through Ellison's phone list and got the contact with name 'The Rival'..

She dialed, put the phone on speaker and waited for the other side to pick up..

Ellison was still staring at whatever Nandini was trying to do..

"Hello! Madam Jacqueline here!" The voice echoed in the room and Ellison's eyes widened..

Before Nandini could say a word Ellison jerked up and cut the call..

"Are you out of your mind??" She roared slamming the phone on the table and Nandini raised her eyebrow at her..

"Fine fine! Go ahead with your sh!tty condition!" She shouted and Nandini smiled evily at her..

"No more rapes!" She told her and Ellison cursed Nandini her heart out but she didn't listen as she gracefully walked back to her dressing room. She saw Tracy sitting on a chair in front of a mirror all lost. She was looking so pale, weak and scared..

Suddenly so much of mercy pooled in Nandini's heart and she walked to Tracy. Nandini knelt in front of her and held her hands..

She looked at her and tears were floating in her innocent eyes..

"Henry is out of the club! He won't come back!" Nandini told her in a soothing tone and rubbed her knuckles with her thumbs. Suddenly Tracy started crying loudly and hugged her tightly..

"I don't want to be here! I want to escape!" She sobbed in Nandini's neck and she patted her head while rubbing her back with other..

"The life we live here Tracy is the reality! There is no escape! You have to be strong that's all I can advise you!" Nandini spoke in a cold broken tone and Tracy broke the hug. Nandini wiped her tears..

"Everything will be ok! I have my performance! Jesy will be with you yeah?" Nandini told her and she sniffed nodding her head while Jesy hugged her Again...

Everything will be okay?. Naaah! That was a lie!

Walking out slowly she reached the backstage until her name will be announced. Jameson, the bellboy was calling out the names. She signaled him that she was there and Jameson got the cue..

"So gentlemen! I know why you all are here!" Jameson started the announcement. "You all dirty hags are here to just have a single glance of the most gorgeous beauty ever in Greystone, club! The hottest! The sexiest! Nandini Murthy!" He continued and the cheers busted the roof of the club..

Nandini closed her eyes, took a deep breath and climbed the staircase to reach her pole..

"Hey hey Nandini!" One of the old dog from the crowd called out..

"You look so fu*king sexy!" Another comment...

"Share the bed with me b!tch!" And here goes another one..

"Can I fu*k you right here on the pole?" She didn't bother to find out who was the source of this comment..

"Strip! Strip! Strip!" Another man was shouting and she waved at them with a 'fake charming' smile..

All sort of dirty attention was at her and she felt like another inch of her being drenched in dirt..

She always wanted attention but never ever dreamt that the attention will be like this..

She stared at the crowd when suddenly the cheering stopped. Everyone who was attentive towards her turned back to the main entrance of the hall. As she was standing above on the stage she could clearly see the source of distraction...

All she could see a man...

A man followed by four other men..

He was tallest of all and can easily be spotted in the bunch of people.

The thing almost stopped her breath was HIM as a whole..

His eyes, chocolate brown like molten lava. His eyebrows perfectly arched. His nose perfectly shaped. His jawline sharp...very sharp with a light stubble, it felt he kept it for fashion. Finally his lips. Though from distance but Nandini didn't fail to notice their softness and the perfectness of their shape.

As soon as her eyes fell on his lips she wildly imagine that how would they feel over hers and her skin..

Shhooo! What is wrong with you Nandini! He must be one of those admirers who comes to see your glory!... She had thought mindlessly..

But quickly a ting of jealousy creeped in her heart as all the attention was now diverted from her to him and he was standing with a killer smile on his face meeting to the people. Most of the businessmen and regular visitors of Nandini knew him.

She bite her lower lip and Jameson picked up his mic to announce something..

"Oh ooo! Look who we have here! The most charming, handsome and hottest businessman of this century! Mr.Manik Malhotra! Welcome! Welcome Mr.Malhotra!" He was almost dying out of excitement and jumping on his place. Nandini gave Jameson weird expressions and suddenly remembered that Jameson was a gay!

Ewww!

Now the drool protruding out of the corner of his lips on seeing that Malhotra made sense to her and she rolled her eyeballs on how much disgusted she felt...

She must have kept staring at Jameson but the heating gaze of a pair of eyes forced her to look back to the crowd.

Her eyes immediately met with the tall guy and she gripped the pole tighter in her hand...

His gaze...his gaze was something she never felt before.

His stare had something...something delicious in it that made feel her wanted...wanted not in a dirty way but the most passionate way ever..

She kept staring in the tall guy eyes and maybe she kept doing that when suddenly a bundle of fresh money hit her..

She angrily turned to see an oldy standing with shameless eyes...

"Start swaying your hips sl*t!" He shouted loudly and somewhat angrily..

She just wanted to run away...far far away but...she knew she can't.

She took a deep breath and turned her head to see those chocolate orbs still staring at her. They had anger and somewhat care in them..

Maybe that tall man didn't like the way that oldy addressed her but she was now least bothered what may people think of her..

She plastered a smile on her face and gestured the DJ to start the song..

Raat mein hi jaagte hain
Yeh gunaahon ke ghar
Inki raahein khole baahein
Jo bhi aaye idhar
Aa haa…

The music ehoed in the big hall of Greystone club and she started moving her hips.

Slowly... Sensually... And sexually she moved around the dance floor. With the corner of her eye she had seen the tall man sitting on the VIP seats along with his friends or whoever they were.

She stick to the pole and swayed her hips for the people around..

Yeh hai gumraahon ka rasta
Muskaanein jhooti hai
Pehchanein jhooti hai
Rangeeni hai chhayi
Phir bhi hai tanhaayi

The song proceeded further and all the time her body was aware of with the heating gaze of that tall man. She turned back to the crowd and few of the oldies fainted with her glory.

She snickered at them and slowly walked down the stairs to reach the known people...her regular visitors..

Kal inhi galiyon mein
In masli kaliyon mein
Toh yeh dhoom thi
Jo rooh pyaasi hai

She reached Williams and gave him a sexy wink. He smirked at her and tried to reach her but she moved away shaking him her forefinger in warning...

Jismein udaasi hai
Woh hai ghoomti
Sabko talaash wohi
Samjhe ye kaash koi

As she proceeded walking around the people, the tall man kept staring at her. The smile he saw on her face wasn't much appealing him.

Yeh hai gumraahon ka rasta
Muskaanein jhooti hai
Pehchanein jhooti hai
Rangeeni hai chhayi
Phir bhi hai tanhaayi
Muskaanein jhooti hai

She passed by the tall man so many times and flirted the people around but didn't give him any sort of attention to which she noticed him gritting his teeth. When the song was about to end she finally turned to him. She bent over him and once again their eyes locked. She felt doing it almost animatedly as her right hand rose and her forefinger coated with the nail color traced the light stubble over his cheek. Unknowingly she felt her left hand slipping in his soft grip and he was staring at her with passionate eyes..

This must have continued if the cheers wouldn't have broke their trance..

Her eyes widened and she jerked the tall man's hand away..

He looked at her with desperate eyes but she ignored him and run back to her changing room..

"What the hell I just did? I was attracted towards a stranger?? Fu*k! Fu*k! This won't be happening again! Yeah!" She muttered under her breath and plopped on the stool in front of her mirror..

______________________

"I knew it he wanted you!" Ellison's voice snapped her out of her thoughts when she was removing her makeup..

"Who?" She asked least interested in Madam Ellie's sh!t and remained busy in her work..

"Manik Malhotra!" Madam Ellie busted the bomb and the cleanser fell of Nandini's hand..

His desperate eyes when she was leaving him roamed in her head and she felt her heart beat quickened..

"See! He has sent a note for you!" Ellison shouted in excitement thrusting the note in Nandini's hand..

Her hand trembled as she unfolded the note and gulped audibly loud on the statement inside.

"Hey Red Beauty! Meet me! Am waiting!

M.M!"

Its not like that it was the first time she was having notes like this but her heart had never ever hammered this badly..

Get a grip of yourself Nandini...

She got up with a jerk and crumbled the note in her hand..

"Tell him! Tell him that Nandini Murthy never take visitors! So ask him to just keep his rich ass away from me!!" She shouted her lungs out and Ellison stared at her. "If I let him hold my hand that doesn't mean I will let him get in my panties!!" She shouted more and turned away..

She was huffing like a bull...

Declining that tall man's request was not something feeling her right but she shoved the thought away and Ellison quietly quiet the room to tell Manik Malhotra..

_______________________

Dead tired and seelpless Nandini dragged her figure towards her room which was on the top floor. The elevator was out of order so she had to climb staircase..

So many thoughts from the night were roaming in her head when suddenly someone gripped her arm and before she could realize she was in a dark corner. Her face was dug in a manly chest and that persons arms were wounded around her.

Immediately she felt perfect and fitted in those arms..

She breathed in his scent and he smelt sweet and spicy. His colonge was intoxicating and for the moment she didn't want to tear away from his warmth. The silk cloth of his tuxedo felt so much smooth under cheek and his beating calm heart sounded music to her ears..

"Red Beauty! I wanna talk!" The words reached her ear and she pulled away with a gasp..

Once again the chocolate orbs were staring at her and she realized that!

She was in a deep sh!t!
