Adith's pov:

All the blood from my body rushed towards my brain and I felt my head was going to explode anytime by then.

Questions and memories were struggling to take upper hand in order to destroy my already messed up mood, more than that the expression she held wanted me to throw her out of the window.

There she was, the great Krisha Anand standing in front of me after ruining my life and breaking my heart into bits.

The folder I held fell from my hand automatically the moment I saw her inside my cabin. I kept looking at her, searching for an ounce of truth but all I could found was the same innocent eyes which was made to cheat others with its false facade.

Why the hell was she here? Who allowed her inside my office?

Before I could murder her she ran out of my cabin, I fisted my palm to fight my inner turmoil and got up from my chair. I had to find her and throw her out this place wasn't meant for cutthroats like her.

All on a sudden my dad came inside and touched my shoulder to subside my anger. So, he might also seen her. "Relax Adith, calm down."

"What do you mean by relax dad. She has the audacity to meet me after what she had done to me and here you are asking me to calm down." I jerked my shoulder from his grip.

"Do you still love her?" Asked my dad.

I broke the glass I found nearby and slit my palm with a sharp broker piece from it. "Adith.." Dad rushed to me and scolded me for my behavior. The anger I had for her has no bounds.

"Dad.. Don't ever ask me that again. Don't." I warned him.

He sighed and aided my wound using the first aid kit in my office. "I spoke to Manohar, Krisha is here to work on your project." He told me.

"What do you mean?" It was unbelievable.

"I mean, she was going to work under you." He told looking into my eyes. "Son listen, I know you hate her but don't let your hatred ruin your professional life. Just ignore her existence and move forward." He told me but I heard nothing. All I could think was the guts she had to face me even after ruining me.

"I take your silence positive. And yeah.. I'm starting to San Fransisco tonight. I told you already about the conference, didn't I? " he asked me.

I nodded my head at him "I'll be back in two months till then take care. I'll miss you." Told my dad kissing my head.

"I will take care daddy." I told him trying hard to keep my anger at bay.

Stepping out of my cabin I tried to catch some fresh air, that four walls were suffocating me so much.

Turning around my eyes fell on the last person I wanted to see in this world, Krisha. At the verge of exploding I pulled and smashed her between me and the nearby wall. I asked why she came back?

"I'm here to work on the pro...project not for you Mr.Adith." the nerve of this women to talk back.

"Let's see how long you sustain here Ms or Mrs. Krisha. You are going to face the worst because you know, working under Adith is no easy." I told her and left the place giving her one last glance.

This would be my chance to show her who was I? And what would happen when she betray the man who was immensely in love with her once. I would show her hell.

Moments later, all my team memberes gathered in the conference hall to discuss some important facts regarding our project. Krisha entered the hall not looking at me while threw draggers at her.

When she was about to take her seat I interrupted. "Wait, who are you?" I asked her with a straight face.

"Si....sir...I..." She stammered.

"Sir... Sir.... What? Who are you tell me fast we don't have all day." I yelled at her.

"Adith she is actually our new me-" Alka tried to take her mouth but I cut her off "Did I asked you Alka. No, isn't it? Then mind your business." I told her.

"Hey, you. Tell me who are you and why are you here?" I asked Krisha again.

"Sir... I was appointed by Ma..Manohar Sir to join the project pratyush ULV-1 as the astrobiologist in...in your team." She found her voice at last.

"I didn't get any information regarding that. Where is your appointment letter, why didn't you report me before?" I asked placing my hands on the table.

She started sweating badly and grew tensed. "Sir...sir I..." She tried to talk.

"You know what just get out. You'll take part in the discussions only after you report. Wait outside my cabin with the appointment letter I'll come in a while." I told her bitterly.

"Yes sir.." With that she went out. That was just a sample Krisha... You are going to be insulted every minute, every second here.

"But Adith, it wasn't necessary she was just going to work with us. Why are you being terribly harsh on her?" Asked Alka.

"I don't find any reason to explain myself to anyone Alka. Do I? " I asked her, she sighed and turned to the other side.

"So let's begin." I told. We started the meeting and I purposely prolonged it for more than two hours. I wanted her to wait outside my cabin. I wanted her to suffer.

After the meeting I walked past her and went to my cabin. She knocked the door but I didn't gave her permission to get in. After a solid twenty minutes. I went out, without looking at her face I told " I'm going for lunch, wait here till I come back."

I didn't felt like eating I lost my appetite and happiness the moment I saw her. Why she had to come into the picture again. My heart wanted me to stop, it was threatening me that it would stop beating if I continued hurting her.

But what was the difference? She already killed my soul, every ounce of love I had on her changed to hatred. Even dad didn't wanted me to hurt her but I couldn't stop me. I wanted revenge. Revenge for everything.

I spent my in my car and went back to my cabin, she was still standing outside in the same spot, she was stretching her toes and curling it, her legs must be aching.

Without looking at her face I went inside my cabin, and I allowed her inside when she knocked this time.

"Good afternoon Sir. My appointment letter. " she gave me the envelope.

I tried subsiding the gush of anger bubbling in me, maintaining the calm demeanor I asked her "Are you sure you wanted to work under me Krisha?"

Because I knew if she continued this job I would break her into pieces, a part of my heart still didn't wanted that to happen even after knowing her true colors.

She nodded her head in positive and tried looking into my eyes but I didn't give any rooms for my weaknesses, I turned my chair and looked at the wall giving her my back.

I threw the envelope on the floor and asked her to pick it. "Tomorrow you have to work in the lab, before that you have to meet me. For today go to Alka she will explain you the rules and regulations here."

I left my cabin collecting my coat and walked outside without paying her any attention. I drove straight to my favorite coffee shop, that hot bitter liquid helped me ease my tension, but I knew it was short time relief.

You had to repent for you deeds Krisha.

Krish's POV:

I was waiting outside his cabin for how long I didn't had any idea. I prepared myself for this attitude of his. I knew he would treat me like a piece of trash and even worse during the upcoming days.

In life we would fall so badly for someone and would be ready to do anything for that significant person. But our one mistake, just one mistake was enough to destroy the house of trust we built in that person's heart.

My mistake destroyed the trust Adith had on me and that was enough to demolish our relationship.

"I'm so sorry Krisha, I have never seen him behave so rude with anyone. He might be under some pressure." Apologized Alka.

"Hey, you don't have to be sorry Alka it wasn't your fault. He told me that you'll explain the rules and regulations here." She smiled warmly for my words and took me to my cabin, introduced to the rest of my team members and gave me a tour of the whole place.

At the end of the day one thing was crystal clear to me. Working here was not going to be easy specially with Adith around me. But a ray of hope lit my heart. I still had a chance to explain myself to my Adith and seek his forgiveness. I realized that running away from my problem was not going to help me. I was going to let him take out his anger over me then I would automatically find a way to his heart again.

Many things changed in my life after that dreadful incident but not my love.

"I stick to him even after everything because I love him."
