**********************

Ranjani gained her conscious and saw the surrounding that she had been locked in a different room. She screamed in hoarse voice as her throats were parched from screaming and crying before she was sedated for the second time. Hearing her screams the goons who were outside her room entered and saw her wide awake. Ranjani was hell scared to see the white men.

Ranj: Who are you people and where am I ? Please tell me what is happening.

They ignored her words and was about to leave but stopped shen she asked for water. One of the men passed water to her and she saw the weapons in their waistband. Once she was done they called Valery and informed him that she was awake. 

Valery was in a different floor in the same building and he rushed to Ranjani and saw her crying. Looking at Valery who looked rugged she was scared but gathering all her courage she started questioning him.

Ran: Sir, who are you and where am I ? Why have you brought me ? Please tell me something rather than keeping me in dark on whats happening around me.

Val: Shut up....You are here because you are a bait for me to get the person I want to kill so shut the fuck up and tell me who is your father's assistant.

Ran: What does he have to do with me, he is just a dumb PA. If he had done anything wrong to you please deal with him directly why bring me here ?

Val: dumb PA ? He is now the king of Lazovsky mafia gang which your father had built in so many years. I will kill that bastard with my hands to take this underground world in my hands using you bitch.

Ran: Oru mayirum pudunga matta da nee..( you won't even pluck a hair )

Val: What did you say ? Come again bitch What did you say ?

Ran: I m not bitch and my father is not a mafia king. He is just a businessman who runs food factories in a city and his PA is the most idiotic man I have ever seen. 

Val: Your father is dead weeks ago and I sent my men to kill him.

Ran: Dey paithiyam nee lam ennada mafia ? ( Hey you mental how come you are a mafia man ?)

Valery crushed her neck with one hand and pulled her hair with his other hand.

Val: Stop bitching and tell me about him ?

He left her when she started coughing. Ranjani was scared to death now and had no idea of testing his patience.

Ran: Sir, I think you have mistaken me for some else. My father is alive, I saw him even before an hour I was kidnapped. Please tell me whom are you looking for and where am I now ? If you don't believe I can give my father's number and he will even pay you to release me.

Valery was frustrated listening to her words and clutched his hair in irritation. Valery passed a mobile to her.

Val: Call Alexander now...

Ran: Who is Alexander ?

Val: Are you playing games with me witch, did he alert you already about me ?

Ran: I m not playing any games. My father is Seetharaman and I m his only daughter Ranjani.

Val: Stop your fucking tricks Anika Alexander...I know its you and I had my men kidnap you from your home.

Ranjani was now shocked hearing Anika's name and looked at him bewildered.

Ran: I m not Anika, she is my classmate. Believe me please. I m not her.

Valery slapped her and called his men in India and turned the call in speaker.

Val: How did you confirm she is Anika alexander ?

Men: Boss, we got to know she and her grandmother settled in chennai and from her social media account we got to know her. With that we saw her in a office during industrial visit from college. The front desk in that office said she is Anika which made confirmation and moreover we kidnapped her from her home which was the address we got from the college student register.

Valery looked at Ranjani who was crying.

Ran: sir, I will tell you everything. One of the businessman came to our college for guest lecture and I fell for him. He was very handsome, smart and rich. I heard him asking for Anika and I played game to make him fall in my trap. I created those social media accounts to make him believe that I m Anika. He too gave hopes to me but only the day before I was kidnapped I came to know that he too played with me. 

He married the girl Anika Alexander whom you are looking for. I went to confront him but he said that they were in love for many years and he wanted a reason to meet her in college without others knowing so he used me.

Val: Who is he ?

Ran: He is Ishwar Vincent, the CEO of Vincent group of companies. He is a very powerful man. If you don't believe me please check about his wedding announcement in all the newspapers. 

Val: I will do a recheck on everything and if I got to know that you are playing against me then I swear to kill you even before I find who is the man I m looking for.

Valery informed his men to lock her room and called is source of contact in India and passed the information to confirm on whatever Ranjani had told him. He gulped the scotch in extreme annoyance.

Ishwar,Anika, Jerald and Granny arrived at the Royal International hotel by afternoon. Ishwar and Anika were getting ready in separate rooms and Nancy was with Anika as the stylist helped her to get ready. Ishwar came out of his room dressed in a black three piece suit with black tie and fringe up hair style. A Rolex watch in his wrist and hand shoved in his pocket while other hand caressing his well trimmed beard he was waiting for Anika to join him.

The door of her room opened and she walked out dressed in a baby pink off shoulder designer gown with crystals and tiny flower embroideries in the bodice. Her hair was half tied and set in loose curls with three pink roses with baby breathe adorning it and her hair bounced with every step she took. The diamond danglers, the diamond choker and diamond kada matched with her outfit perfectly. she looked like a goddess of beauty and Ishwar forgot to breathe when she twirled before him holding her gown. He came back to senses and left the breathe he was holding only when Anika called him.

Ani: Naa epapadi irukken mama ? ( How do I look ?)

Ishwar snaked his hand around her waist and pulled her closer and pecked her cheeks.

Ish: I have two compliments one is you look like a goddess of beauty and the other compliment I will tell you when we are back home after the party.

He showed his hand and Anika held it as they walked towards the elevator. Nancy was dressed in a expensive lehenga with matching jewels and Jerald picked the rose which he had pinned in his pocket and gave it to her.

Jer: Accept this if you agree that you are beautiful but reject it if you think I m handsome.

Nan: Romba budhisali nenapo...moonjiyaa paru...korangu..( do you you are so intelligent ? look at the face..monkey..)

She yanked the rose from his hand and rushed in the other elevator with granny while Jerald joined Ishwar and Anika. The huge ball room was decorated with flowers and colourful lights with tables set for the guest and a lavish dinner set up within the room.

Many of Jerald's men were dressed in uniform to guard the place and every guest was allowed after complete checking. Since many ministers from across country was invited the entire place was escorted and had tight security around.

The doors of the ball room opened and Ishwar, Anika walked in with their fingers interlocked. He sensed her turning nervous looking at the people in the hall. He released her hand and snaked it around her waist and patted to calm her down. 

As soon they were in the stage one by one the guest started pouring their wish and gave gifts to them. Ishwar introduced everyone to Anika who gave a warm smile to them. Jerry arranged a separate hall for the press and media as informed by Ishwar.

Though the environment and the people were so different to Anika, Ishwar did not let her feel any suffocation or inconvenience and held her hands and kept complimenting her from time to time and kept her engaged in his conversation.

Lilly was sitting with other employess and watched the couple being all lovey dovey. she gulped the wine and tried to leave the place but gave up and watched everything happening. She heard Jerry speaking to the captain giving orders to be ready to fly in the morning. 

Lil: where is boss flying Jerry ?

Jer: I m sorry Lilly, this is his personal travel so I can't reveal it to anyone. 

Lil: But I m his PA and may need to know incase of any emergency or if I need to contact him.

Jerr: You will not contact him for any emergencies and I will take care of the business in his absence. He doesn't want any disturbances until he is back.

Lil: when will he return ?

Jer: Depends on when his wife's decision. If she wanted to stay longer then he will do obviously.

Nancy watched Jerald speaking with Lilly and came glaring at him and interrupted their conversation.

Nan: Jerry, are we expecting anymore guest ? Ishwar is used to all these crowd but Anika will get exhausted. They need to travel tomorrow ?

Jer: No more guest but Boss and Anika will attend the press meet which will last only few minutes. 

Lil: Anika is wife of our boss and she gets respect is acceptable but why is this girl acting like a boss lady ? Look Nancy you are just a friend of Anika and remember you are just a guest who will leave once the party is over. So stay in your limits and give respect to boss and Jerald.

Nancy felt insulted by the way Lilly spoke provoking her insecurities. She tried to leave but Jerald stopped holding her wrist.

Jer: Where are you going Nanu ma ? Lilly is asking something and don't you think you must reply her. fine I will reply for you.....Lilly, I think its high time you realize your place and the limits to stay in. The moment Anika came into our Boss' life she didn't step alone but with Nancy too. Nancy is no more the ordinary college student but one of the board of directors  of Vincent groups and has every right to fire you from the office. She has every fucking rights to order and boss around us. Respect her and watch what you speak and don't desire for something which will never be yours.

Lilly threw daggers at Nancy and left from there

Nan: Jerry, what are you saying ? Stop joking ok ..

Jer: I m not Nancy, Boss has signed those papers already and I have registered it. If you are wondering about your signature in those papers then it was you who signed it. Your professor gave some papers to sign for registering your name for campus interview but those were actually the papers sent by boss to get your signature.

Nan: But that was even before I met him and knew about him.

Jer: Yes, when he decided to marry Anika and got to know about you, he adopted you as his sister and paid money to your father so that he won't disturb you. His actions speak louder than words Nanu ma. You are now Nancy Vincent legally, the sister of Ishwar Vincent..

He pinched her cheeks but she glared at him.

Nan: Hey, be careful or I will complaint you to my brother.

Jer: He knows everything darling. 

Suddenly Nancy became very calm and looked at him tears brimming in her eyes.

Nan: Jerry, please do me favour. Tell Ishwar to cancel my name from the board of directors. I will be happy to be his sister alone.

Ish: He doesn't do anything without thinking twice Nancy. 

He forwarded his handkey and sighed to wipe her tears which she did with a gentle smile. Only then Jerry saw the rose he gave her beautifying her hair but he stopped himself from confronting her and smiled within himself reminiscing her jealousy when he spoke to Lilly.
