“Bark again!” Samanvay lashed at John who looked down towards the floor. He knew that if he said something, Samanvay’s anger would only spark further. “I am asking you something, John!” He commanded brusquely. “Five casinos are sealed here and three in Goa. Two more liquor licences were cancelled by the government, this month.” John informed him again and Samanvay’s eyes turned livid. “Have you called the Chief Minister?” He inquired, his voice tight with barely controlled rage. John blew out a breath and shook his head, “Not accepting the call. As per my sources, He gave free hand to Niam Sehgal to ruin your business and reputation.”Samanvay’s eyes went as hard as stones as his anger reached the boiling point. “Manan Raj!” He seethed out as his fingers clenched tightly into a fist. “Samanvay, I think you should leave the country for a while. As things proceed, I can see an ugly faceoff. Niam has political power in his hold. He is dangerous for us right now.”Samanvay’s eyes went
“The proposal I am suggesting is beneficial for both of us, Niam,” Samanvay expressed his belief for the partnership He was offering to Niam Sehgal, the man who owned a chain of hotels around three continents, Asia, Europe and North America.And Samanvay Goenka wanted partners like Niam Sehgal to expand his casino and liquor business around the world. He already had an established Casino and Liquor empire in Asia and Australia but now he wanted to enter the markets of North America and Europe. He had been trying to reach this man for the last two weeks but he kept rejecting Samanvay’s proposal and meeting him. However, Samanvay Goenka was known for always getting what he desired, be it money, power or woman but Niam Sehgal was a hard nut to crack. Finally, two days ago, His another business ally, Mr Merchant told Him that he could arrange Samanvay an informal meeting with Niam Sehgal. True to his words, Mr Merchant invited him to this charity event in Niam Sehgal’s hotel. Although S
Chapter 2"My boy looks agitated today? May I know the reason behind your sour mood, son?" Samanvay let out the breath he was holding and glanced at his adoptive father, Milan Goenka who had a curious look on his face. Samanvay knew he was not going to stop pestering Him until he knew the reason behind His anger. Milan glanced at John, Samanvay’s friend and right-hand man in question even though he knew that John would never tell him anything. He might be their adoptive father but John was loyal to Samanvay not him. He was here for Samanvay and Lisa. "Sam?" Milan asked again, Samanvay straightened in his chair and gave him the happy news. "I have found the woman I want to marry."Milan blinked, for a moment he didn't understand how to react. “You have found a woman to marry?" He asked one more time to make sure he heard him right. Samanvay nodded at his father. “Yes, I have.”"May I know who this lucky girl is?""Manya Sehgal." Samanvay answered and Milan Goenka stiffened. H
Chapter 3"I am waiting for the day when you and Neel will get married just like this," Niam said with a wistful look in his eyes as he watched the wedding ceremony of a client's daughter in the grand hall of his hotel. Manya turned to her father."Neel said he will talk to his father about us, soon. I hope that Mr Oberoi agrees to it." Niam glanced at his daughter. "He will agree. Who can say no for my My daughter?" Manya gave her father a small smile. She knew how proud her father was of her. At the age of twenty-five, even after being a having a law degree, she was working in her family business and successfully handling the post of General manager of The Sehgal group of hotels and resorts around the world. But She was eagerly waiting for the big promotion next month when her father would announce her as the next CEO of The Sehgal group of hotels and resorts. It was one of her dreams, to take over her father's legacy and take it to the new heights of success. Manya had only t
John and Milan watched Samanvay pacing around his room. He was seething in rage. "She called me an Orphan, she called me bad blood, father,” Samanvay snarled. Milan's eyes met John's. Both knew how dangerous Samanvay could get in this mood. "I can take care of this woman. I can punish her if you want." John stated and Samanvay stopped pacing around the room. He snapped his eyes to his friend and sneered, "Come again!" John swallowed his saliva to wet his throat at the intensity of Samanvay’s angry gaze. "She insulted you for the second time, Sir. I just thought… ""You thought wrong, John. She is going to be your queen. Take her name with respect or I won't warn you next time,” He stated and pointed a finger to his chest. “This is my revenge. My war against those snobs. Killing or hurting them is not the right punishment for them. Especially for Her!" He whispered, His eyes and tone darkened automatically at the thought of Manya Sehgal. "She called me a disgusted swine. She is dis
Samanvay lightened His cigar and took a puff as He eyed Anthony through His peripheral vision. "You don't understand Anthony, this is my city now. I rule over ‘The Syndicate’ now, not Milan Goenka. What understanding you had with him, it ended with his rule. Now, you have to pay taxes like everyone else does." He said taking another puff of cigar and blowing the smoke on Anthony's face.Anthony's face tightened in fury. He glanced at Milan with anger-filled eyes. "Your son is insulting me, Milan. We have a twenty-year unwritten arrangement. You can't change the rules just like that. Don't forget who helped you when you were in jail."John's eyes were on the man standing behind Anthony. His restless eyes were telling him that this meeting could soon turn into a bloody one. John was ready to spread blood too."I returned the favour to you, Anthony. As my son said, He rules over ‘The Syndicate’ now, not me. You should have taken His permission before bringing your goods to His docks."
Manya closed her eyes to bear his touch when Samanvay held her hand after the wedding ceremony. Yes, she married him, willingly. She married the man she despised the most in this whole universe to punish herself for the crime of loving someone who didn't deserve her love.Samanvay smiled arrogantly, seeing Manya as his bride. His bruised ego was somewhat soothed but her despicable words still haunted his memory. She saved him a lot of time and effort by marrying him willingly. But now, He sure was going to treat her like his queen, a submissive queen. Hurting or torturing her was not his style, Samanvay Goenka retaliated differently. Physical violence against women is for weak men. He had other methods to break her, piece by piece and bring her to her knees in front of him. And once he got his submissive wife, he was going to glue her back, piece by piece.But sure as hell He was going to make her eat her pride every single day of this marriage. Samanvay chuckled inwardly at his t
Manya peeled her eyes open as the non-stop ringing of her phone made it impossible for her to sleep. She blinked a few times to recognize her surroundings but couldn't. Her head was bouncing like a rubber ball in pain and the ringing of her cell was only increasing her misery. Taking a deep breath, she took her phone and sat in the bed before accepting the call. "Anav?""What have you done, Manya? What have you done!" Manya hissed in pain when her brother's sharp voice smacked through her ears. "Don't raise your voice at me, Anav." She ordered him in a firm tone as she massaged her temple with her fingers to soothe away the pain but it only increased when she spoke. "Manya! You lost the right to order me after what you did. Dad has locked himself in his study. Our phones are ringing constantly, people are asking us questions. "Her scowl deepened. "What are you talking about? Stop talking in riddles and tell me clearly what happened.""What happened? You are talking as if you don't
