The Mumbai Police Van zoomed off on the way to the court. Today was first the hearing. The day to present one of the greatest criminals in front of the whole world.

Inspector Shinde followed the van with four more constables, on his jeep. He was the officer in charge of this case.

" Take the route of the bridge. It would be shorter.", he said over the intercom, while the others looked confused. Why was he suddenly asking to divert from the usual path?

Neverthless, obeying his senior's order, the driver turned the van towards the bridge.

And it all happened in a flash......

BOOM!

The sound of a bullet echoed in the air as the van lost control on itself swirling over the bridge before it hit the jeep, falling with it into the water below.

And lo behold!

Naveen Aggarwal swam out of the wreckage, shocked at his sudden freedom, swimming with all his might to reach the shore before anyone caught him.

" I'm free? "

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

Nandini entered Malhotra Heights for the very first time in her life. If the situation would have been different, she would have taken time to admire the beauty of the place. The interiors were better than the exteriors. A perfect blend of beauty with class.

But today she had no time for this. She had many questions in heart, many confusions in her mind. In short....she was a mess.

She walked up to the receptionist asking for Manik, who looked stunned for a moment seeing her Boss's fiancee in front of her before stuttering a reply. In other times, Nandini would have given her a sweet smile and asked her to relax. But today she was impatient.

" What's taking you so long? I asked where is Manik. Tell me fast girl. ", she spoke in a stern voice making the girl more nervous and fumble through the phone trying to contact her Boss.

Nandini was about to shout at her again, when she heard someone.

" Nandini Ma'am aap yahan?", asked Aman who just happened to be passing through the hallway but stopped seeing Nandini there.

" I just wanted to meet Manik. But don't know why your receptionist is taking so long.", she said in a frustrated tone and Aman immediately understood that something was wrong with her. He apologised to her on behalf of Riya and asked her to come with him, taking her to Manik's cabin.

" So what do you say? Should we discuss about this new venture with Mr. Dixit?", asked Manik and Cabir nodded. They both were busy in some serious project discussion, when someone barged in without knocking, startling them. Manik opened his mouth to shout at the person when his eyes fell on Nandini and softened. Even Cabir got up seeing her frowning.

" Bira? You here? Is everything okay?", he asked coming to her and she just nodded awkwardly. She was feeling stupid for having disturbed their serious discussion.

" I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were busy. I'll wait outside. I..", she blabbered only to be cut off by Cabir who side hugged her.

" Its completely alright Bira. You are welcome here any time. Its your soon-to-be husband's cabin afterall.", he said making her blush slightly.

" Manik. We'll discuss on this later. And yeah ask Aman to send an email to the Dixits about the new venture. We can keep the meeting next week only. ", he instructed before leaving and Manik looked at Nandini, who looked quite disturbed. He walked up to her and was about to hug her when Cabir poked his head through the door.

" Well keep your moans low han. Remember this is office. ", he grinned and ran away before Manik could throw the file at him.

He turned to Nandini who was now blushing slightly and took a moment to admire her.

" What happened Shona? You look tensed. Any problem?", he asked while gesturing her to sit on the sofa.

" Manik...remember that envelope we got from SN Mansion? Which I kept for Niharika Aunty?", he nodded and she continued, " That turned out to be Dadda's will.", she said surprising Manik.

She told everything that was written in the will and Manik listened to everything patiently.

" But Shona. Whats the problem in it? He is your father. And you have every right on his property. It is only the right thing that he did.", he tried to explain but she shook her head.

" But I never wanted this. I never imagined all this. I never wanted a share in his property, when I never experienced his love until now. I failed him so many times Manik. I became the reason of his death. I know it wasn't my fault, but still...he lost his life for me. He gave me his life Manik. How can I take his property also? It would be an injustice to Soha Di. She never got the love of a family. Atleast she has full right on her fathers belongings. ", she said in one go and Manik just listened to all her thoughts patiently.

" I don't know what to do Manik. Please guide me through this. Please.", she said, closing her eyes in frustration. Manik first took her in a soft hug to calm her down. He knew Nandini had a habit to overthink everything and that's what she was doing now. He just has to make her understand calmly.

" Shona listen to me carefully. Did you say the same thing when your mother's attorney was transfered to your name? ", he asked and she shook her head. " Is this situation any different from that? Your mother had also given up her life trying to save you and your father did the same. It is a sacrifice your parents did for your and not a favour.", he explained and Nandini's eyes became teary. The thought of her parents giving up their lives for her had not even settled and now the new realisation made her more vulnerable.

" Wait! Don't you dare cry. Yaar jab dekho tab ye tear ka tank open kar deti ho. If you keep on wasting these pearls like this na...toh bahut jald sadak pe aa jaunga mein.", he said dramatically making her wipe off her tears with a poker face.

" Baby. This is your right. And this the right. All he did was right. ", he said and Nandini finally nodded, still a bit hesitant.

" But what will I do with that company? I can't run a company now with my scalpel and forceps. ", she complained irritated and Manik laughed out loud.

" God! You're so cute Shona. You don't have to run the company baby. You can hand it over to Niharika Aunty until Soha is free. After that she can handle it. You will just be a share holder.", he said and she pouted nodding.

" Oh don't pout Baby. You don't even know what you doing to me. You look so cute and sexy from the time you barged in. You don't realise how I have controlled myself till now.", he said pulling her close while her eyes widened. She looked at herself only to realise that she had forgotten to change before rushing here. She mentally facepalmed herself for being so stupid to barge into her fiancee's office in these clothes. Now she undestood why the receptionist was looking at her wierdly.

She was about to apologise when she felt her lips being tugged by his and she being risen from her place only to be placed on his lap. Manik's lips moulded over her's passionately, while his hands did wonders over her skin. Her hands rose up to the back of his neck, while his ran over her bare thighs, gaining a soft moan from her. He worked his hands under her t-shirt, and loved the way her body trembled with the touch of his fingers.

He pinched her waist causing her to gasp and taking the opportunity, he entered his tongue in, tasting each and every corner of her mouth. Their tongues fought for dominance as she tugged hard on to his hairs, pulling him closer to herself. This time Nandini was hell bent not to give in and the kiss turned fierce when his fingers traced the lines of her bra, causing her to moan. She too pulled his hairs harder making him groan and pull her closer to himself....only if there was any more room left.

Finally finding her gasping for air, he broke the kiss, but his lips never left her body. He trailed sloppy kisses down to her neck, finally finding her sweet spot, causing her to pant harder. She hissed when he suddenly rewarded her with a bite and he moved on to lick it to sooth the pain. His hands were roaming shamelessly all over her body and she felt herself melting under his touch....just like water from ice under heat.

Tugging her shirt down from her shoulders, he kissed and licked there while she went on to remove his blazer and open his shirt's first few buttons. Feeling her  soft hands on his bare chest, his desire increased and he went on to remove her t-shirt. His eyes darkened with desire, seeing her almost bare body for the first time. Her fair skin hugged by black bra fuelled his lust as he attacked her cleavage immediately sending her to a new level of pleasure.

She purred under his touch as he explored her body with a new found zeal. His hands worked on her back as his teeth grazed the skin over her collarbone making her moan his name helplessly. His fingers finally found the hook of her bra and unhooked them, only to be startled by a knock on the door.

"Sir, Raj Sir is asking for you in his cabin. He said its urgent.", came Aman's voice from outside the door, bringing them out of their sexual trance. Highly embarassed at their state, Nandini immediately grabbed her tshirt and ran to the washroom, blushing like hell, while he sat their running his fingers through his hairs, breathing heavily. His ears had turned pink, as he buttoned his shirt and wore his blazer, waiting for his fiancee to come out.

" The police van that was carrying Naveen Aggarwal to the court met with an accident on the Vashi bridge and the vehicle fell into the water along with the police jeep that was following it. The officers and police constables have been rescued now, while Naveen Aggarwal has gone missing. Where did he go?

Did he take this opportunity to run away? Was it a plan? Was it planned by his men to rescue the Devil?

Or is he still there in the water?

What is the truth? The public wants to know. How.......", the voice of the reporter boomed through Raj Malhotra's cabin, as the TV screen showed visuals of the wreckage. There sat Raj and Cabir, staring at the screen with tensed faces. Just then, Manik and Nandini barged in confusing Raj on seeing Nandini there. But composing himself, he gestured them to look at the screen and their eyes widened. Naveen Aggarwal escaped?

Manik looked at Nandini only to be met with her blank face. She had no expressions on her face and that scared Manik. He knew how dangerous Nandini is when she turns out like this. She is both dangerous to others and herself. He immediately held her hand and rubbed her palm in an attempt to soothe her and she just turned to him with a smile, surprising him.

" Manik. I have to go. I have pre-op rounds lined up followed by a surgery.", she said before bidding bye to Raj and Cabir, and left the cabin before Manik could say anything. The three were shocked by her reaction. They really expected an outburst or atleast few curses from her. But her behviour just stunned them.

Manik was right. To understand Dr. Nandini Murthy is difficult. But to understand Devil Nandini Murthy is 'IMPOSSIBLE'.

Sharing looks with each other, Manik finally called their security-in-charge to instruct them to increase security around every member and most around Nandini.

_________________________________________

" Yes Commissioner uncle. Yes yes...we will ensure proper security around everyone. Okay sure you can proceed with police protection. Yeah yeah...Yeah..Thank you. ", Arnav hung up only to find Parosh Chatterjee walking out of the house. He rushed to stop him immediately.

" Where are you going Dadu? You know its not safe.", he said blocking his path and Parosh looked at him helplessly.

" Let me go Arnav. Already because of me Nanhi has suffered so much. And now he is free once again. He is surely gonna target her. I have to save her. This time I'll ask him to punish me instead of her. ", he said with tears in his eyes and was about to go from there, only to be stopped by a hand tugging his. He turned only to be shocked.

There stood Nandini Murthy, holding his hand and staring into his eyes with a blank face.

" Stay out of all this. He is dangerous and can do anything. You have already done a lot with your impulsive behaviour. Atleast this once think with a calm mind and don't worsen the situation.", she said before walking inside, leaving them both shocked and Parosh highly guilty.

It was a dark shady place. With an eery silence.

A place normal people would always be scared to go.

A place that even the criminals feared at this hour of the night.

But he went there.

Stealthily, limping around, he finally reached one of his safest shelters.

He had by a lot of struggles, succeeded in concealing his identity, his face and reach here after coming out of the water. It took him a whole day, but he finally succeeded. He knew one of his men has helped in freeing him and he would reward him later. But for now, his priority is to keep himself safe. His image is out in public now and it wouldn't be easy to elope. But still he had a plan ready.

" What did you think Babygirl? That you got me? Well you'll see me escape under your nose and won't be able to do anything.", he said loudly and proceeded to the small locker he had in the corner.

Opening it he found his mobile phone and a gun. He held the gun in one hand and dialed some number on his phone.

" Yes Sharma........Yes its me...........I'll explain later. First listen to me. The police won't be able to find me so soon where I am. But still I don't have much time. First I need revenge from Nandini Murthy.....Yes yes that girl. She destroyed every plan of mine. I have to do something about her. Yes.........I know what to do. First alert all our underground men to come here now itself. I'm in our Place Z. ....Yes. Now. ", he said and hung up the call only to be startled by a voice.

" Well Done Wakeel Sahab!"

Shit! Whats that now?

Confused?

Well don't be..

Just think of different possiblities.
