Once again, I stood with a champagne glass in my hand in the garden area of the Oberoi mansion and looked at Kyra as she stood on the stage with her grandmother, father and Mr. John Alexander. They were signing the deal which would merge part of both the vast businesses and significantly increase revenue.

I was proud of "My Princess", she was working very hard and was vastly increasing our wealth, after all what was her's would be mine, very soon.

This time I did not have to sneak on to the premises, my company received an invite for this event and I as the CEO of the highly advanced Security Tech company - Katech Inc. attended this event. The company only catered to the members of the highest echelons of society, and my clients were only a select chosen few because only a limited number of people could actually afford our novelty services.

I had set up and operated my business on the down low. Only very few people were allowed to know about me and my company because that was my strategy. I initially only wanted a limited set of high profile clients, who let's just say became my clients because of the questionable and sensitive information, I found out about them and used to my advantage.

The company was named by joining two words, my mother's name - Kate and the word Tech. My mother's name was of great significance to me and she deserved this honour. I was finally going to let Krish know about this company, we may not be billionaires yet, but we were surely not poor anymore. After all soon enough the Oberoi's wealth and Kyra would also be mine.

Our company's USP was to find loopholes in highly secure systems of the Uber rich and leverage that to onboard them as clients of our impenetrable and foolproof, security systems and measures. The technology developed by me was patented and highly advanced and no company out there could match up to it.

This may not have been the most honourable work but sometimes you have to do what you have to do, and I was going to advance and make my place in this world, which has taken so much from me and I had absolutely, No remorse and No regrets about my actions.

I spent the past nearly 4 months working on the business and increasing its reach. It was time to step into the light and claim my place amongst the top security tech firm's in the world.

I spread word about it amongst the influential and rich, and very soon it reached and grabbed notice of the family I needed it to, The Oberoi's. They had been actively searching for a worthy company who could safeguard their interests, which included both the business and their family. I wanted them to seek me out and not the other way around.

Once the gossip and my reputation worked it's magic it eventually led the Oberoi's to my company's doorstep and they requested for our specialised and highly efficient services to be used to set up all of their new security systems.

The plan to ambush Kyra was a well thought and strategic one, it had a three-fold benefit for me:

1) Kyra and I, officially met and became acquaintances.

2) Kyra owed me for saving her, I was her "Hero".

3) The Oberoi's hired my Security Tech company.

I now virtually had complete access to all the things related to the Oberoi's - their Business's, family, funds, safety and most importantly Kyra the sole heir and key to the Oberoi empire.

Mission Accomplished. I was in.

So far I had only met her father. I had very recently signed the contract and therefore a formal introduction with her was due. The nitty-gritties were vast, after all this was a billion dollar empire. I had a lot of work ahead of me and I didn't want us to meet until the deal between The Oberoi's and my company was signed and that's why I had to keep my distance from her.

Now that everything was finalised, all bets were off.

Kyra was looking absolutely gorgeous and stunning today, with the big sparkling rubies gracing her soft neck and her voluptuous figure adorned in a revealing yet classy red gown. Though the neck line was deeper than I expected and preferred on her. Her supple and creamy skin was on display. She wore black high heel which accentuated her figure.

She looked breathtaking, and the mere sight of her sent fire through my blood. She looked sexy and hot, yet I found myself getting angry at her. Kyra shouldn't have the audacity to look so pretty especially strutting around so many people.

I wanted to throw her over my shoulder and carry her out of here. (SMH, Caveman behaviour)

Much to my chagrin, I spotted Abhay Singhania making his way towards her, ironically I had been planning to make "The Singhania's" my next target (clients). Though, through my initial research I found that I was having a little trouble digging up any significant skeletons in the Singhania's closet because they were buried that well.

I ground my teeth and glared at Abhay as he seemed to be leering at Kyra's plunging neckline, which showcased her ample and supple bosom. On the other hand, she looked so excited to meet him and hugged him with a giant smile on her face. The combination of both these actions pissed me off.

From my investigations, I was aware that Abhay and Kyra were childhood best friends and used to share a close bond, but after the Singhania's moved to UK, these two lost touch, but the reason for him being here today after all this time was suspicious, I had a feeling something big was going on and it was going to derail my plans.

Before, I could interrupt the duo and introduce myself to her. The Oberoi matriarch called Abhay & Kyra on stage, she then proceeded to throw a wrench in my plans by announcing something that shook me to my very core, she said "Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a special announcement to make on this equally special night, my beautiful granddaughter Kyra Oberoi is going to marry the handsome Abhay Singhania."

From Kyra's immediate reaction it looked like she was completely caught off guard and was not aware of this marriage announcement. It seemed like she had not expected this in the least, but she quickly recovered and put on a fake smile to save face. Abhay had a somewhat nonchalant expression.

Abhay then turned towards Kyra, hugged her and whispered something in her ear and then kissed her on the lips in front of everyone, my blood boiled at this sight and my rage knew no bounds.

I needed to leave from there immediately, before I did something that I would definitely regret. I started walking away in a hurry, when I suddenly bumped into Mr. Alexander. Our eyes connected and something felt oddly familiar about him, but I ignored the feeling.

He looked at me with an inquisitive yet haunted look in his eyes and asked, "Excuse me, Who are you and do I know you?"

I had never met the old man before so I said, "I apologise and no we have never met." With that I made a swift exit and left the Oberoi mansion.

How the fuck could the Kyra's marriage announcement be made so hastily?, and this was not the 17th century. Kyra had a fucking right to chose her groom. How could her family ruin my plan and life, once again?

I was fuming, I banged my hand against the steering wheel to let out some frustration. I mentally screamed at the Oberoi's and they're ability to ruin everything.

I didn't know what pissed me off more, the fact that Kyra's marriage was announced to some creep, which caused a serious complication in my plans, as I was supposed to marry her and inherit the wealth owed to me and my family or the fact that another man had touched and kissed my Kyra.

It seemed like I was becoming a caveman where Kyra was concerned, I did not even think that I liked her. But I absolutely couldn't tolerate the sight of another man touching what is mine.

"Kyra is only mine, and she'll know it soon enough. No one is allowed to touch her except me".
