Christian's POV-

This girl is messing with my head a lot too much without my liking. 

" What the fuck is happening to me?" I muttered.

Why do I get attracted to her so damn much even after thinking that she is impulsive and reckless?

" I need to stop thinking about her and do my fucking work." I told myself.

I reached GEH and took the elevator to my cabin. I need to sort out somethings.

The work was done within an hour. Mia had called me to Grey Mansion. She needs to talk.

" Adam, to the mansion." I said and sat in the car.

" Sir." He said.

Within 20 minutes, I was there.

" Christian, have a seat." Mia said.

" What do you want?" I asked, taking my seat.

" Where are the others?" I asked.

" Gone for some Charity gala." She said.

I nodded.

" Do you love Smriti?" Mia asked, very directly.

I was taken aback with this sudden question.

" I don't do love Mia ." I told her.

" No one 'does' love Christian, it happens." She said.

" Now answer some questions honestly." She added.

" I don't have time for your questions Mia. I have more serious issues to address." I told her.

" Not happening brother, we need to talk." She said.

My cell went off.

" Sir, Ms Wilton has barged here without your permission. She tricked the security outside." Adam said as soon as I took his call.

" Fucking Sofia." I shouted and hung up.

Mia looked on, horrified.

" What is that drama queen doing here? Christian, if you are fucking her again, then I swear that I'm going to kill you." I shouted.

" I am not, Mia." I told her, sternly.

Sofia was here.

" You are engaged." She accused, looking at me.

Mia stepped in.

" Yes he is." She said.

" How could you betray me?" She asked.

" Sofia, I broke up with you before getting committed." I said.

" I thought that you were frustrated, so that's why you said all of that." She shouted.

" Don't shout." I ordered.

" On the top of it, you are getting married to a brown girl. Christian baby, you can do better than that." She said, seductively.

" Get out of here Sofia." I said.

" But baby...." She started.

" You heard my brother. Now out!" Mia exclaimed.

" Stay away from this." Sofia said rudely.

" Thank god Christian, you are not marrying this shit." Mia said.

I really wanted to laugh at Sofia's face but had to control myself.

" That girl will bring disgrace to your name and moreover she will not satisfy you in bed like I used to do." Sofia shouted.

" Shut up you little bitch, Christian loves Smriti. Don't you dare bad-mouth her." Mia said.

" Christian doesn't do love." Sofia said, confidently.

Mia rolled her eyes at Sofia.

" Christian baby, do you love that brownie?" Sofia asked.

" Shut the fuck up Sofia. I will not hear any derogatory comments for my fiancee." I shouted at her.

" You do love her Christian Grey." Mia said, dramatically.

And then it finally hit me. Yes, I am in love with Ms Sharma. I proved myself wrong.

" Yes I do." I said.

" Keep in mind one thing Christian, she is nothing. Ultimately, you will come to me and regret marrying a cheap person." Sofia shouted.

" Adam, come here and take this bitch out." Mia shouted.

Adam was here within 1 minute.

" What the hell is going on here?" Dad asked. 

They all were back from the charity gala.

" Remember Christian, you are committing a huge mistake. She will bring you down and never give you the pleasure that I used to give you." Sofia shouted as Adam dragged her out of the premises.

I saw Grandma's face with had an expression of disguist.

" Grandma, ignore that non sense." Mia said.

Grandma nodded.

Then I saw Mia's expressions changing from that of irritation to teasing.

" So Finally, THE CHRISTIAN GREY is in love with that' stupid, uneducated Indian girl', according to his wordings." Mia said.

Mom, Dad and Grandma shared a laugh at my expense.

" Son, remember one thing. She is an Indian girl brought up with lot's of values and a tinge of barriers. She will always hesitate to take a step ahead with you. Here, you will have to step up and make her comfortable around you. Also, she might try and run away from you at certain times, but it will be your responsibility to hold her and never let go." Grandma said.

" She is not going anywhere Grandma and I will make sure of it." I said, smirkingly.

" And the arrogance is back!" Mia sighed dramatically.

I took my leave and drove back to the penthouse.

Okay, I do love her but I need to focus on some work too. I have a billion dollar company to run.

The rest of the time, work engrossed me in.

Smriti's POV-

" Smriti, get packed. We will be leaving." Sunaina said as soon as I entered the apartment.

I nodded and went to my room to pack. I called mumma to inform that I will be coming back to Delhi.

I was done within an hour. 

" Where is Chaitra?" I asked.

" He has gone somewhere. He did not even tell me." Sunaina said.

I nodded.

" Let's go and meet the others before leaving." I said.

" Don't worry. We will meet them at the airport. They are coming to see us off." Sunaiana said.

" Okay. It Chaitra packed?" I asked.

" Yes." She said.

I then made us sandwitches and kept 2 for Chaitra.

" Let's post a picture on instagram." Sunaina said.

" Yes man. It has been years since I have posted something." I said.

" Me too." She agreed.

I clicked her picture and she did took mine. Chaitra was here by that time.

" Chaitra, take our picture." Sunaina ordered.

" Yes mam." He said and as he was told.

I then posted on instagram.

Smritisharma1  It's the friends you can call at 4 a.m. that matter. Not that I need to call her. We practically stay together all the time.

PC- ChaitraM

I then posted it on instagram.

" What's the time?" Sunaina asked.

" It is 11." I said.

" We should be leaving. Our flight is at 2." Chaitra said.

Both of us nodded.

I, then received a call from Mia.

" You are slaying in the picture babe." Mia said.

" Thanks Mia." I told her.

" Christian must be staring at your picture." Mia said.

" I have a private account." I said.

" No No, he is not on Instagram. I sent your picture to him." Mia said.

I blushed.

" There was no need to do that." I said.

" But I did. Cannot deprive my brother from her beautiful fiance eow, can we?" She said.

" Mia, I got to go now. Starting for the airport. Will call you soon." I said.

" No worries darling. Have a safe journey." She said.

" Bye Mia." I said and hung up.

We reached the airport. Others had reached too.

" Smriti, take care. I know that Iraq is a violent mission." Mansi said.

I nodded.

" Smriti, I don't want you to have another bullet shot at you. Am I clear?" Rajat asked.

" Yes sir." I joked. We shared a laugh.

" Get me Dates from there." Lakshya said.

" Sure. Your wish is my command, your highness." I said.

This guy knows how to lighten down the moods.

" All the best Guys. Succeed." Fahim said.

" You too." Chaitra said.

We hugged all of them and bid them bye.

" How much time more?" Sunaina whined as we were in the waiting area.

" Some 20 minutes more love." Chaitra said.

I nodded and rested her head on his shoulder. I smiled seeing them together.

It was the time to board.

We did and I slept immediately after the take off.

After 16 long hours, we were back in Delhi.

" Sir, we have landed." I called Manish sir and informed him.

" Get here directly. Take the charge and go home. Come back here at 5. Your flight to Baghdad is at 10 in the night." Sir instructed.

" Sir, can't we go home right now?" I asked, timidly.

" I want the three of you here within the next half an hour Ms Sharma. Drag your lazy asses here." He directed.

" Okay sir." I sighed.

We reached there. The situation was really serious.

" You are the team. There are 30 Indian women trafficked as sex slaves. You need to rescue them all. Am I clear?" Sir asked.

" Yes sir." Chaitra said.

" Sir, are there any reliable assets present in Baghdad?" Sunaina asked.

" Take there. All the information is available in this. Only your eye retina can open these." Manish sir handed us special cell phones.

We nodded.

After the briefing, I went home.

" Finally, she is here." Mumma said dramatically.

" Don't be so dramatic mumma. I need to leave today itself at 10 in the night." I said.

" Why do you even come home?" She asked and sighed.

She then hugged me tightly.

" I missed you my doll." She said.

" I missed you too mumma. Where is papa?" I asked.

" Office." She replied.

I nodded.

" Freshen up. I will get you food." She said.

I nodded and went to my room.

I already had messaged Mia about me reaching safely.

Then my personal cell phone went off.

It was some international number.

" I have all the numbers of the Greys and my team saved in my cell. I am not taking this call. " I said to myself.

" Smriti, should I take appointment from Mrs Singh for you?" Mumma asked, entering my room.

" Who is Mrs Singh?" I questioned.

" She is a psychiatrist. You were talking to yourself and normal people don't do that." She said sarcastically.

" You see mumma, I sometimes need expert advice." I said.

She gave me a pointed look.

" Will you pick up the call? It is irritating." She said.

" It is a nonsense call." I said.

She nodded.

Oh boy! I had no idea what I had done by not receiving the call.

Smriti's feeling about Christian will be potrayed in the upcoming chapters.
