Nisha gulped her fourth glass of water too sooth her tasteless mouth which got murdered by the bitter gourd juice.

"I hate you and your Boss." Nisha grumble munching on her toast.

Jaiden only looked at her amused," speaking of which, where is the Devil." She asked, after his stunt last night she pretty much hoped to to give a Hard taste of revenge.

"He is making some calls before our departure, specially after the stunt you girls pulled last night." Jaiden said pointedly. He didn't wanted to reveal Ishaan pretty much gave the guards nightmare for losing them from sights.

"How did you guys find Us." Nisha asked curiously , she was pretty sure that they didn't leave any hints or any guard followed their trail.

Jaiden pursed his lips." That you should ask Boss." He said, he didn't wanted early morning freak from Nisha, as much as he loved her , Nisha can be a pain in the ass and only Ishaan has the patience of a saint around her to handle her, or they were to sickly in love to get on each other's nerves.

"Tell me or I make you drink one of my experienment." Nisha threatened sweetly and Jaiden paled.

"Your bracelet has a tracker, Andrew found you within few minutes." Jaiden mumbled.

Nisha's eyes widened, A freaking tracker, she looked at the bracelet which was his first gift to her, she had this urge to throw it at his face but The bracelet was more precious to her then the Kohinoor diamond, and she would never take it off. She tried to stifle her smile at the memory of how Awkward he looked when he gifted her the bracelet.

Now when she thinks about it , they have walked a long way from their fast meeting, from him almost murdering her for slapping him to Her confessing her love for him, him trying for a better future with her. Maybe He still didn't love her , but Nisha was sure they will slowly walk through that phrase to, They have all the Time in the world , They had their forever.

Ben tugged on her floral dress eager for his playtime, Nisha picked him up." Let's go and play or you bark my head of during the flight." Nisha said placing him down who immediately run towards the garden and pool area, the Mansion was small but cozy and Nisha liked their home in New York more, maybe because that place has to many fond memories.

Walking into the pool area she halted to see Ben running and Ishaan following him with carefree expression, The sweats shined like diamonds in his shirtless torso and Nisha immediately remembered how they felt under her touch, strong and warm.

She shook her head to get rid of the sinful thoughts and focused on the domestic scene in front of her ," Yes Ben Make him suffer more, He made your Nishy Suffer." Nisha shouted loudly gaining Ishaan attention.

Ishaan couldn't sleep last night, half of his night was spend in the cold shower which did little to help him, Everytime his mind drifted to The feel of her soft body, heat of her Arousal through the thin barrier of their clothes, her sweet voice...

Ishaan put a held to his thoughts before it could rise a problem for his male autonomy, literally. He could see a blush rise to her milky skin and just for his satisfaction He winked at her which only made her Rosy cheek Scarlett.

Just to annoy her He whistled and Benji immediately trotted over to him, the dog had a weird Adoration for him just like It's owner. He saw Nisha's mouth hanging open with clear betrayal shining in her eyes for Ben as she horwled curses at Ben.

He laughed but immediately stopped staring at Three figures gawking at him Like he is a ghost. Fuck my life Ishaan thought, He cleared his throat which snapped them out.

Nisha turned to see Vidushi, Gia and Aradhaya standing with their jaw touching the floor, She bite her lips to stop the bubbling laugher at Ishaan's thunderous expression. He mumbled something and went out from their.

"What was that." Vidushi breathed , She knew about Ishaan from childhood as Vihaan's stone faced friend, then who was this imposter.

"I tell you everything common." Nisha told them ushering them inside.

"Soo May I know why I have a freaking tracker in my bracelet." Nisha asked leaning on the bedroom of their Jet.

Ishaan who was sitting on the couch looked up surprised, Jaiden He thought with annoyance, His second in command was way to comfortable and Friendly with Her. Jaiden was the toughest guy Ishaan knew , but After Nisha he was a changed guy, Can you blame him , don't be a hypocrite his own mind mocked.

"It was necessary." He said and she scoffed.

"Don't tell me you are trying to control my every movement like some Asshole, I hate to put a extra Dose of Arguement with you." Nisha stated, she wouldn't have him control her.

Ishaan sighed closing the laptop," I will never control you Nish , the tracker is necessary Nish, You know I have many Enemy's, they will always try to attack you, Though I will make sure no one can touch a hair on your head , but If situation Arises, the tracker will help me reach you faster. Try to think from my perspective it will sooth my worries if you have it." Ishaan tried to explain to her.

Nisha thought about his words and nodded," Okay fine." She said surprising Him.

"You are not going to Argue." He asked surprised, as far his knowledge Women tends to Argue a matter more.

Nisha looked at him amused chuckling." Why would I , I understand your perspective, In a relationship Both has to understand each other perspective and get used to each other slowly." Nisha said with a smile.

Ishaan sighed relieved," You confuse me, Sometimes you are annoying the hell out of me and another time Surprising me, What are you Nish." He asked looking at her curiously.

Nisha smiled mischievously, and climbed on his lap, throwing her arms around his neck." I am your hellion Mate Mr.Vampire." Nisha whispered placing her lips on his , He gripped the back of her head to deepen the kiss, she moaned tugging at his hair.

Nisha trailed her lips to his neck and sunk her teeth into him." Nish." Ishaan groaned as she licked and feasted on his skin.

"Are you Hard Babe." Nisha whispered in his throat dropping a wet kiss.

Ishaan nodded fisting the sheets, his breathing was erotic as he tried hard not to take her right there.

"To bad I am going to take my revenge." She said and stood up making Ishaan snap his eyes with a jerk.

Nisha's victory was short lived at the fire in his eyes uh huh she thought nervously. In a snap she was beneath him with his lips devouring her in a brutal kiss, Nisha moaned fisting his shirt, Ishaan squeezed her waist to which gasped loudly," You are going to be the death of me Nish." Ishaan breathed against lips.

"Your hellion, remember." She said teasingly and both of them burst out laughing. Ishaan Rolled on his back and pulled her to his chest.

"I love you." Nisha said kissing his chest, feeling his fingers freezing in her hairs, she looked at him who was looking at her helplessly.

She smiled caressing his cheek." You don't have to say it back , Say it when You truly madly deeply in love with me, When you have a grip on your feelings, until then Let me love you enough for both of us."

Not knowing what to respond He dropped a kiss on her forehead hopping to to convey his every emotions through it. Nisha closed her eyes and Basked in his unsaid feelings , feeling content and warm, She would wait for the day when he will confess his feelings vocally.

"We should head outside, I don't want them to think We are doing Nasty." Nisha said, Jaiden was a little bitch when it comes to getting on her nerves.

"Do I look like I care Sweetheart, I will happily devour you infront of them but I don't want them to hear your sweet voice of pleasure, it's only for me." He said ,He would gladly Slice throat if necessary.

Nisha blushed but pushed him standing up." You don't but I do, Now let's go." She said and they both walked out.

Jaiden paused when Ishaan sat infront of him, Looking at his messed up hairs , and reddish mark on his neck , Jaiden raised a eyebrow.

"Say anything and I empty my bullets in your mouth."

A month later..

"That's such a Nice combination." Lily one of her Team mate said looking at Nisha's summer collection design.

"Isn't it , I Think the floral print will give a soothing vibes." Nisha said smiling Making Lily nod in appreciation.

"I am Soo tensed you know, I just hope our Team wins." Lily said leaning on her small cubicle. They were divided into two groups for the presentation of summer collections.

Nisha held her hand," Don't worry our team will win , I have full faith." Nisha said confidently.

Lily smiled," You are such a sweetie Nisha, let's grab coffee some coffee after work."

Nisha smiled in apology." I love to But I already promised my friend for some plans, can we postpone it for tomorrow." She said, She promised Alisha for a cup of coffee and then she had a plan of face timing for Aradhaya and Gia , She needed to have a long long conversation of with Aradhaya now that she was finally married to Vihaan with many chaos but that's another thing. She was happy that Aradhaya and Vihaan finally realized their feelings and got reunited, but somewhere she felt bad for Aradhaya's Twin sister, She got betrayed by Her boyfriend and sister.

Nisha shook her head to clear those thoughts it's not her story to think about, she focused back on her work, she started working for week now and it has been a absolute delighting experience for her, her workmates, senior manager everyone has been nothing but nice to her.

"Sure." Lily said smiling, they chatted a bit before going back to their work.

Later in the evening Nisha meet Alisha in a cute cafe beside her work.

" How was work." Alisha asked .

Nisha grinned," Awesome, I can't wait for our presentation, I am Soo excited for team to present our collection, we are working Soo hard you know."

"I am happy for you Nisha , After everything, You really deserve it." Alisha said genuinely, Nisha simply smiled at her.

They were talking about their everyday life , When Alisha Suddenly dropped bomb Nisha wasn't expecting.

"Ishaan is not a big fan of Photograph isn't it , I actually noticed it given how less Pictures internet has of his family and childhood." Alisha said with a curious smile.

Nisha was baffled for once the question was completely out of nowhere and Second She was surprised herself as She realized it true given She never herself saw any of his childhood photos except those before his family's accident.

But That was their personal life and she didn't wanted anything related to Ishaan disclosed infront of anyone, friend or not she was protective of him." Actually you know how reserved he is, I am sure He would scowl at the mention of camera." Nisha said with a half laugh.

Alisha nodded with a chuckle hoping she was successful in Planting the seed of curiosity in Nisha, Her eyes briefly glanced down at her Mobile, Veer threat rang fresh in her mind, and hands turned clammy in sweats.

" I am sure He showed you Atleast, Did The iceberg had any girlfriends, I bet no girl other than you can tolerate that Robot." Alisha asked jokingly.

Nisha smiled uncertainly, she saw his family picture, but she realized she Never saw Zoyi , The women she will be always greatful for many things , for protecting Ishaan, caring for him and For gifting her Ishaan. Nisha Wondered Did Ishaan has any pictures of her , she would love to see her.

"You bet , That guy can freeze female population with one glare." Nisha said with humour to change the topic.

"Enough about my Guy , tell me about Club Guy you went out with."

After few hours Nisha went back home, Ishaan was in a business trip for the last two days and Nisha missed him like hell, it had become a habit for her to Sleep with his warmth surrounding her like a cocoon of blank, Her room was mostly unoccupied given her frequent stays in his room.

She sat infront of The laptop and grinned seeing Aradhaya's and Gia smiling face." Soo how is Married life." Nisha asked wriggling her eyebrows.

Aradhaya blushed," Its Amazing, Vihaan ji is too sweet and caring, You know He started to learn cooking for me, Gifts me flowers everyday while returning from work." Aradhaya blushed while saying.

" Tell her about the Public Display of affection." Gia added teasing and Nisha raised a eyebrow.

"I suppose Vihaan Rajput does know how to Romance." Nisha said.

Aradhaya shyly bite her lip." We kissed." She said and turned more red.

Nisha gasped followed by Gia," You did , oh God I am Soo happy, Fuck I can't wait to hold your guys babies." Nisha said excitedly.

Aradhaya's eyes widened," NISHA!, We only kissed, and no baby talks in next 5years ." Aradhaya explained in mortification.

Nisha pouted dramatically." Here I already started baby names." She then turned serious." If He ever makes you cry just let me know, I visit him with one of Ishaan's knife and gun." Nisha said protectively.

Gia nodded and Aradhaya smiled but then her smile dimmed," I miss Di, I feel Soo guilty Nisha , I spoiled her life." Aradhaya whispered and Nisha exchanged a look with Gia.

"Aradhaya Amaya wants you to be happy , You didn't spoil anything, It was all meant to be, And Amaya will return after healing herself, Just give everything sometime and Bask in the love you got after everything." Nisha softly tried to make her understand who nodded.

Aradhaya nodded in understanding and Nisha and Gia smiled," Now let me tell you about my Workmates." Nisha said excitedly.

After a long conversation, She called Ishaan but it was switched off, Thinking he might be tired she thought to talk with him in the morning. She Wore one of his shirt and inhaled to bask in his scent ,it was mix of spice and something entirely him, it immediately calmed her. Clinging to the shirt she walked towards the bed to see Ben waiting for her , Smiling she patted her side and Ben jumped up, Hugging him she tried to doze of while thoughts full of her Vampire.

.
.
.

The Next evening Nisha looked at every file she owned but the sketches were nowhere , God she would be in Soo much trouble, those were the draft she made for the presentation and now she forgot where she kept it.

"Not today Satan." Nisha whinned, Then she remembered Ishaan's study room, She sometimes spend her time with him were they both would work together, maybe she forgot it there.

She walked in his study and her eyes fall on the file, Sighing in relief she took out the file from his desk when another file tumbled to the ground, groaning she bend down to pick it up but frowned as picture edge was peaking out, She read the tittle of the file and in Ishaan's Elegant handwriting few words were written in red ink,

'i will Avenge you Zoyi '

Nisha realized it must be related to Zoyi , She kept the file back not wanting to intervene in his privacy, but Alisha's words roamed in her head, She never saw Zoyi and She wasn't sure if Ishaan will show Her , She was a sensitive topic for him as Ishaan was still unsuccessful in capturing Zoyi Killers. But Nisha wanted to see Zoyi the girl who suffered for no reason, Who was a important person in Ishaan life not just his first love but his gurdian Angel.

I just look and keep it back Nisha thought mentally Apologizing to Ishaan, there wasn't any harm in just a peak.

Decided she careful took the picture out and a very familiar face stared back at her , A face which hunted her dreams , A face Who was the downfall of her life , A face she will never forget.

Nisha eyes widened as throbbing pain shoot through her head, Voices , Images flashed before her eyes like a vision

" Please Aaliyah Help me."

"Aaliyah don't do it."

"Shot her Aaliyah."

"You are a murderer."

"You are a monster , because of you a innocent girl lost her life , You killed."

Nisha's breathing turned heavy as clutched his desk for support, she swaying in her own feet," Make it stop." She tried to scream but only a choked whisper left her , She pulled hair but those vision keep flashing in front of her eyes.

"Look at your hand it has Zoya's blood."

"Ishaan Singhaniya will kill you , He will avenge his love."

" You are meant to be killed and tortured you worthless whore."

"Aaliyah, I safe you, Ishaan will safe us both , He will safe you I make sure of it." A bruised Zoya whispered hugging her.

"NOOOO!!!!." Nisha shouted stumbling on her feet , She collided With the book shelf and fall on the floor.

Nisha dropping eyes fall on french mirrors where she saw her reflection laying on the floor blood dripping from elbow just like 9 years ago, She was broken and her covered in Scarlett of Death.

A distant noice of shouting and footsteps surrounded her but Nisha was too clouded by the demons of her past to realize it, she could feel her visions turning blurry , darkness engulfing.

Before she lost conscious , She stared at her reflection again and this time she didn't saw Nisha Ahuja anymore, because she never existed.

Only Aaliyah Khurana stared back at her till darkness engulfed her.
