—JENNIFER— The event was supposed to end in another few hours but I was so tired and also, the deal for which Christian went to the event was already closed, so we left the place early. On our way back to Christian's penthouse, I was already losing myself to sleep in the car when sudden blasts started fading in into our ear shot. I jerked up into my seat and looked out of the window from the backseat of the car as the cracking sounds were getting loud with every second as if we were getting close to it. In another second, I had recognised the voice to be of firecrackers and in another few seconds my mouth fell open at the sight in front of me. “ Stop the car.” I said, desperately and Christian who had been scrolling through some article on his phone beside me, looked up at me with a concerned frown. “ What's wrong?” He asked, quickly turning to face me. “ I want to see the fireworks.” I answered almost immediately while bouncing in my seat in desperation to get out of the
—JENNIFER—I kept trying to register everything in my head. But Christian asked his doubts. " But he could have killed them all, even Jennifer. " " If he would have done that, the property would have gone to the trust. "I sniffed soundly , composing myself. 'This is not the time to cry but to know the truth' I told myself before focusing on Uncle. "But why did Grandpa do that?? I mean, Sahas Uncle has also worked equally to build this empire, as you just said. Then why didn't grandpa divide the property and where the hell did I come in between all this, after dad, it definitely was supposed to be Uncle, or If it was about grandchildren then It should have been us all four, or me and Yuvraj, seeing he's the elder in them. no?? " I enquired. " After your dad, everything was supposed to be transferred to the only grandchild of Prataap Mahaajan" Uncle said and my jaws dropped for the third time in the last few minutes."Now what the hell does that mean?? " Christian asked, expressing
Christian"Jennifer?? What are you doing here??" We both froze at the voice and looked ahead only to find Sahas Uncle standing there. Just like dad said before, he had tracked us down. His presence was the least needed thing right here. I wonder how Jennifer is going to handle this and refuse to go with him. More than that I was wondering how the hell is she controlling herself. I mean, after knowing his deeds, His face alone was giving me a migraine.If only I could just split his face from his body right here, right now. A moment passed in silence staring before Jennifer spoke up. "We just came to visit the temple. " She said plainly. "Oh, are you done meeting with Suraj?? " He asked and I saw desperation glinting in his eyes, again. "No, he called and said that he's busy with some work and is unable to come. " I stared at her face from besides her as she lied smoothly. "Oh, " He said but I noticed him sighing silently. "Okay, let's go home then, you can meet him some other
" Why are you ignoring me??" I asked in a desperate tone, hinting towards her behaviour since morning." Since when do you care?? " She asked back, my question probably made her angry." Since always. " I admitted it honestly." But I never saw this before. " She raised her brow, and I saw a hint of surprise in those eyes " Cause I never showed this before. " I answered honestly again. " And what changed your mind now. " She kept bombering me with questions. " I,... just want to. As simple as that. " " But I don't want to see this now. " She answered, bringing her rough facade back again."And what is that you want??" I asked genuinely curious while stepping a little closer but still maintaining the distance."What can I possibly want??" I heard her humourless chuckle, and I guessed that finally she's going to express her feelings about what happened today. "I don't want anything," Her tone suddenly changed into a dangerous voice as she snatched her arm from my grip and turned tow
Jennifer I disconnected the call with Param bhai, and went back inside the room where Christian was waiting for me. " I'll go and tell Aparna Baisa that we'll have our dinner in the room. " Informing him, I turned to go out but stopped at his question. " What are you planning?? " He asked in a low voice. In answer, I just gave him a smirk and walked out towards the kitchen leaving him with squinted eyes. I met with Aparna Baisa in the living area only. " Baisa!! Please send our dinner to our room." I said and looked behind her to the dining table where everyone was settling down for dinner. "And also," I started a little loudly, making sure to get listened to by everyone. " I want my room to be empty in an hour. I'm shifting back and I don't want a single thing that doesn't belong to me, in MY ROOM. " Every head snapped towards me at the speed of light. I looked at Baisa who was as shocked as anyone else present there at my words. " I will sleep in my room, from tonight only
" And what is the plan now?? " He asked." First of all we need trackers. "" I can get them from dad. Even I-, Yeah I'll get them from dad." He said getting up from the bed and taking out his clothes from the cupboard while I narrowed my eyes on him." What was that??" I asked."Nothing. And what are you going to do? Cause before anything else, we need to assure your safety. So definitely I'm not going to leave you alone here, not for a single moment." He walked to my side of the bed. "You don't worry about that. I've a plan." I said, getting up. "Can I trust you with your safety??" He asked taking my hand in his'" Yes." I assured him while holding his hand in both of mine and he nodded."Now, if you are going to shower first, I'll take another nap." I said dropping myself on the bed. " You are so lazy. " he commented but I chose to ignore and then heard a voice of the door getting closed.Just after five minutes, the door swung open. I got up with a jerk to see neatly dressed Ch
Jennifer" How are you both doing?? " I asked fixing the hands free in my ear and sit on the bed as soon as they answered the call. " How can we be fine, till you are there. " I heard Sid sighing helplessly from the other side of the call. "If only we could just run to you. I would have choked that fucker Uncle of yours with my own bare hands. " Koel growled and I flinched at her curse. "Yeah, but you guys can still help me, being there. " I said. "How?? " They both asked together. "Koel, I've mailed you some documents related to the business. Please check the accounts. " "Oh, Are you taking over the business too?? " She asked excitedly. "Certainly. This business belongs to my father. And the manager has told me that there's a lot of illegal activities going on in the name of the medicine business. "" Woah!! Your Uncle is a total villainous type. " I heard Koel's bored voice. " Anyways, It's Saturday so you guys must be free until Monday. Can yo-"Yeah, I'll do it. Don't worr
"What?? " I asked in confusion, blinking my tears away. "You can't go inside. " One of them told me and my eyes snapped up at his disregarding tone. " And why's that?? " I crossed my arms around my chest and stared at him while the other two guards stood there silently, watching us argue. " Because nobody is allowed. It's Sahas Sir's or-"I'm not nobody. I am Jennifer Mahajaan." I interrupted that bearded arrogant man harshly who was about the same age as me. "I don't care whoever you are. Nobody is allowed to go inside there. You may go back. " Saying that he signalled me to return back with the wave of his gun. Fire ran into my blood and all that I wanted at that moment was to snatch his gun and stuff all six bullets in his head.Sucking into a sharp angry breath, I gave him a last murderous look, which seemed to be not at all working on him and stormed back. Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I dialled a number. " Just ten minutes. " The answer came as soon as the call was ac
