At this point Bhavya just wanted to grab Gauri by the shoulders and shake her till she came to her senses.

Bhavya: Gauri! Are you crazy!. Out of the three Oberois brothers Omkara is definitely not the one you want to take on! I've worked for him for 2 years Ri he is a dangerous man when provoked. And as I recall...you have no experience with men at all let alone a man like Omkara.

Gauri lazily leans back from her chair and yawns : "What experience do I need when all I want is the title Mrs. Gauri Omkara Singh Oberoi.

Looking at Bhavya's terrified expressions made it worth while for Gauri. She was starting to feel as if her day off was being wasted.

Gauri then slowly leans towards a " statue like Bhavya and whispers " Don't worry about your boss. He will be in good hands. Gauri then stands up and pats Bhavya on the back before heading back home.

Clearly Gauri has never been interested Omkara Singh Oberoi till now. Last night she even made time to read up on him and that too took her less than 30 minutes. If you thought Gauri's file contained minimal information...Omkara's file was just as lacking.

Gauri finally reached her private home. Her house was separated from the Main House by a 6 feet iron gate. During that time Svetlana thought by installing this iron gate would be a great insult to Gauri. Trying to prove that Gauri was only a Sharma by name. But Gauri could care less. She never really felt the need to live in luxury. She only needed the basic necessities to live. She actually liked having this much privacy. The money she earned being Nightsky financed all her top of the line security equipment. She had installed cameras all around her house. She even custom built her own computer and created her own software to make it easier to gather intel and not to mention her impenetrable firewall.

Upon entering her humble home Gauri took off her oversized hoodie and now donning just a plain white T-shirt. She liked keeping her house warm so that she could wear nothing but t-shirts and shorts on her days off. Her favorite spot was her all white leather sofa. She loved the cool feeling of the leather on her skin. She laid down on her sofa to feel the coolness against her back and moved her arms up and down to feel the leather against her arms. Then she reached for a file on her coffee table. By now Gauri has memorized everything she could gather on Omkara. But for some reason she couldn't help but stare at the photo she kept in his file. He was a handsome man. How can someone be look so perfect. A strong jawline with deep dark brown eyes that you can't help but drown in them. It's as if you knew the dangers that were lurking behind those eyes but were more than willing to risk it all just to touch him. Gauri has zero experience when it came to the complicated feelings between a man and a woman. Because life as Tej Sharma's daughter was hard enough as it is, there was no room for princess-like fairytales. She grew up surrounded by men like her father. In her eyes men sought after wealth and power and for them women were there to satisfy their lustful needs. Even though Gauri has never fell for any man it doesn't mean she doesn't know how to appreciate a handsome man like Omkara. Just by a mere photo was enough to make Gauri's heart beat a little faster than usual. This is the first time Gauri had tapped into her lustful desires as a woman. At least if intimacy is on the table Gauri would be more than willing. What is so wrong with two people satisfying one another on a physical level? Besides, by then she would already be Mrs. Gauri Omkara Singh Oberoi. And Gauri being the inexperience one out of the two she figured she would greatly benefit from Omkara's expertise behind closed doors.

Many women in the elite social circle had tried to seduce him but to no avail. Your luck was much better if you were wanting a one night stand with Omkara Singh Oberoi but as far as seeking a commitment from this man that is practically impossible. From what Gauri had gathered Omkara has dated Riddima and Ishana, two high class ladies within the elites. These two women were considered the most gorgeous in high society. Many powerful men have tried to win their hearts but only Omkara managed to peak their interest. And if rumors were to be true then Omkara ended both relationships when both women demanded something more than just a physical relationship. It is also rumored that Omkara makes it clear from the very beginning that a relationship with him is solely physical. And as for Gauri...she was indeed beautiful but too elusive giving no chance to would be encounters. Her appearance at any event were always short. If you were lucky...you were able to catch a glimpse of her. And if by chance someone was able to snapped a photo of her and tried to upload it into any social media it would be suspiciously erased within the hour. This offer that she will present Omkara will be strictly business with no strings attached where both parties will benefit from each other. The only thing that concerns Gauri right now is Omkara's unpredictable nature. There is always a chance that he will reject her. Gauri has seen him reject many beautiful women. Even women who were very well- endowed were given the cold shoulder. But this is exactly the reason why Gauri had chosen him. She didn't want to be trapped in a hurricane of emotions and he surely did not want the complications of a committed relationship.This purely being a contract marriage will have a higher success rate because who doesn't like a win-win situation. Looking at those dark brown eyes staring back at her Gauri was ready.. Omkara Singh Oberoi...are you ready?...she slowly traces his face with her fingers thinking to herself that she chose a really nice photo to keep in his file. It's been such a long day Gauri thought to herself. She slowly closes her eyes to rest her mind because the days ahead will be very tiring. How far will she have to push Omkara for him to agree. Will she go as far and to have to use the love he has for his brothers? Gauri lazily opens her eyes to look at 3 more files on her coffee table. She reaches for the one that had the name " Annika Shivaay Singh Oberoi. Gauri stares at it and smiles " will I have to show him just how bad I can be? The only time that Gauri will ever feel the need to play dirty is when she has no choice. If the only way to save herself is by hurting people in the process then so be it.

Meanwhile Om was also relaxing in his room. He had on his favorite black t-shirt and sweatpants. At work he would have his hair is a half pony but at home he couldn't wait to have it open. He logged onto his computer and sent a message to NightSky. Now he will only have to wait for a response. Usually he would get one in the next 24 hours. Om picks up the file Shivaay had given him on Gauri Kumari Sharma. There was also a photo of her. But Om knew that the photo did not do justice to her true beauty. He was lucky enough to get a glimpse of her at a few social events. And every time their eyes met he felt a tug at his heart. Her honey brown eyes were very enticing to him. Too bad she was Tej Sharma's daughter. If she wasn't Om would have approached her to see if she would be interested in just a physical relationship with him. Om was getting tired also, all day he was running around collecting info for the new business venture that Shivaay wanted. He decides to call it a night and lays in his bed but before sleep he decided to take one last look at the file... Gauri Kumari Sharma, 25 years old with no history of having been in any relationships. He had always had an impression that Gauri Kumari Sharma was as innocent as they come. Om could handle any type of woman except the innocent ones. They were too fragile for his liking. They tend to become too clingy. He tosses the file to the side thinking of what in the hell did Shivaay expect him to do. Get some dirt and blackmail her?...Or does he want me to seduce the poor girl to prevent her from falling into the hands of that pathetic Abay Kapoor? Was this even necessary?!! Omkara knew he was not a good man but he surely was not low enough to use and manipulate an innocent little girl like Gauri Kumari Sharma. Omkara started to feel a migraine coming. The things he is willing to do for his brother is endless and knows no bounds. But maybe things will turn out in their favor because gathering intel on Gauri was just a precaution if an alliance were to happen. They still don't know if Tej Sharma will agree to the marriage. Maybe they were worrying for nothing. Granted he's heard rumors how ruthless Miss Sharma is in the conference room...but to him she looks like an innocent little bunny. Om runs his fingers through is hair and lets out a sympathizing sigh "How could Gauri Kumari Sharma survive in this industry surround by all these big bad wolves...the poor girl.

********

Nights were always short for Gauri. Ever since that incident she was never able to get a full nights sleep. She was lucky if she slept 4 hours a day. That is why being NightSky was to help rid of her boredom during these times. And tonight was no exception. A message from OSO. Gauri smiles with a hint of mischievousness in her eyes. Even though one of her rules is that they don't exchange names but that was only for her own benefit. OSO was obviously Omkara Singh Oberoi. And today he has asked NightSky to find intel on Gauri Kumari Sharma. Gauri is deep in thought while tapping on her keyboard wondering what she should do. Should she mess with him and feed him lies? or half truths?. Wait... lets see just how much you are willing to pay for the intel Mr Oberoi Gauri figures if the price is right she might as well send him some worthwhile information about herself. She is running a business after all. " Lets see if he agrees to 5 million. She was about to turn off her computer when all of a sudden someone was trying to Skype her. Her face becomes rigid because the only person that would Skype her is her father. Gauri manages to let out a bitter laugh " even now he's able to take away my small moment of happiness. She answers the call awaiting for her father's commands.

Tej: Gauri.

Gauri: yes.

Tej: Saturday is the annual charity event for disabled kids. Be ready at 7.

Gauri: yes.

These were the only times that her father would ever contact her. She had to make sure to present herself as the " Hidden Gem of Tej Sharma. For every function her father would have someone send her a dress along with jewelry that was fitting enough for a Sharma. Gauri Kumari Sharma had to look flawless and be the envy of every woman and the desire of every man. She really hated these social events. Because the real intent of these type of functions were for businessmen to either make deals or form alliances through marriage. That is why during these big charity events you will see many rich daughters being shuffled around as if on display awaiting for the highest bidder. Tej Sharma was no different. He knew Gauri was the most sought after by these big business mongrels. Everyone wanted a chance to be part of the Sharma family because they all knew that Tej only had one daughter; so if their son married her it would guarantee that sooner or later they would inherit Sharma industries. Svetlana on the other hand hated the fact that throughout all these years she was still unable to provide an heir. She could not let Tej's future son-in-law take over Sharma Industries. She needed to find a way to provide an heir and soon. Gauri always knew of Svetlana's intentions. But what the poor woman doesn't know is that Mr. Tej Sharma had a vasectomy years ago. If Svetlana was a bit nicer to Gauri when she was young maybe she would have sympathized with her. And just maybe she would have sent her a copy of the doctor's report that Gauri had found years ago. But unfortunately for Svetlana..Gauri was no saint. Like any scorned woman...Gauri holds grudges. But enough thinking about Svetlana. The woman was never a threat. Gauri had bigger things to tend to now, she knew this would be the perfect opportunity to speak with Omkara Singh Oberoi. Since this was an annual charity event everyone and anyone will be there. And looking at the invitation her father sent her the theme this year was "Masquerade Ball. Gauri just laughs at how cliche this was. As if setting the atmosphere for two strangers to fall in love without disclosing their identity. Gauri plays with the invitation in her hand " Just how much fun will this be? All work and no play makes Gauri a dull girl.
