Conversations will be more in this chapter to give the idea of the story line.

▪︎Rakshit▪︎

We stop outside the house with the girls following us. I looked at Aryan only to find him smirking at me, satisfied that we had done our part well.

"Ladies first" Cloaking myself in the style of a gentleman, I opened the door for them, before forwarding my hand.

"La let's go back. I don't want to go with them" Drishti hid behind her sister. "Especially that jerk" She whispered, unaware that it was perfectly audible to me. She had a lot of guts in her standing against us.

Closing my eyes for a few seconds I looked at Lavanya who glared at her sister to get inside peacefully.

"You and me in the front Rakshit" As I was about to get inside the car, with them Aryan pulled my ear and patted my back, forcefully taking me to the front.

"You know Aryan, I want to sit behind" I stressed the word behind and quoted it in air quote marks.

"Shut up and sit in the front. I'll drive" He smiled evily at me. I groaned in frustrated and got inside, having a seat beside Aryan, Big brother issues with him.

Let me be directly honest.

All the time I was busy staring at her through the mirror as she the distance between her eyebrows continued to decrease. I suppressed a laugh looking at her ever increasing grin.

Within a few minutes we reached The Shergill Mansion. The girls stepped outside the car and their expressions changed the very moment their glances fell on it.

"Why is it so big and black? Are we on Satan's address?" Drishti shook as a suddenly blow of cold air passed by her. "Why is the atmosphere here so like hell?"

"Shut up Drishti" Lavanya shushed her while Aryan chuckled.

I turned towards our mansion, enjoying the beauty of the black color when someone pulled my jacket from the shoulder. I looked behind only see a pouty Drishti looking at me.

"What happened to you now?"

"We are in the wrong house. Let's go"

"This is the right house love" I turned towards her and leaned on my car, placing my arm on it.

Her expressions changed from pouty to horrified ones. "This is a horror movie house! Why so black? Are you Satan's kin?" She screamed and looked at her sister. "La, I don't want to stay here"

"Come on princess. Our house is not that bad. It's not that black" Aryan said walking through the lawn towards the door.

"This is hell!"

"This is your hell" I smirked at her and went inside as the two followed me.

We all entered inside, together, before the girls walked in front of us. The speed at which her expressions fell down, were incomparable to the speed at which they changed right now.

"What happened love?" I whispered huskily in her ears, making her shiver at the sudden a-sort-of intimate contact. First one for her, geez.

"It's not as I thought it would be"

"What did you imagine it as?"

"People boiling in big iron pots, red colored monsters with a black pointed teeth and a long pointed tail wearing black suits and stirring the people in the pot, a few fountains of blood and skeleton heads laughing around with the other full sized skeletons dancing around a statue of you two" as she ended explaining her wild imagination I could see Aryan holding onto a table slab nearby, biting his hand and trying his level best to hold his laugh.

As our eyes met each others, we burst out laughing without wasting any further second. Seriously?!

Her imagination was a pretty dangerous thing. Beware of it.

"Is she serious?!" Aryan managed to say in between his laughs. "Her imagination is hilarious"

"Oh my devil!" I chuckled at the end and found her holding Lavanya's arm in anger and looking at her. "You are so cute"

She moved her lips swiftly in annoyance murmuring something in her sister's ear who smiled at her, proving that something was said against us.

Time for your smiles to say goodbye ladies.

"Aryan, so. I was just imagining. Where is Lavanya's room?" Placing my forefinger on my temple, I acted as if I was thinking, something I never do.

"Hm. Where do you want it to be?"

"I don't know Aryan"

"Let me think" The sisters were looking at us, horrified with what ill was brewing in our mind. "Where is she staying?"

"Where will she stay? Isn't that obvious that she will be with 'Me' in 'My' room" Exchanging an evil smile his face turned to a surpried look.

"I get that!" He looked at Lavanya. "This means that the sensible sister will stay with me"

"Who the fcuk did you try calling insensible?" One thing was clear, I was going to enjoy my life with Drishti, a lot.

Lavanya cursed us after Drishti, but did it with a valid reason "We two staying in your rooms? What do you two think of us? Let me tell you, we are not just random girls who will-"

"I pity you Aryan. She is so rude" I chuckled.

"But you are lucky. She is a little Childish" We smirked which changed into a satisfied smile once a scream was heard grabbing our attentions.

"Give me a knife and I'll show you what this child can do!" Drishti yelled and jumped to attack Aryan but held back by her sister.

"What are you bot upto and who was-" Lavanya was trying to argue but stopped by her sister.

"La, I feel" Drishti leaned on Lavanya's shoulder. "I feel...La" she clenched Lavanya's t shirt tightly, pulling a fistful of it.

"What happened Drishti?" Lavanya cupped her face and Drishti stood at her place, quietly. Like seriously silent.

"I feel like an idiot! They can kill us if they wanted to, why are we not running away. Amd who gives the guarantee that we will come put alive?" M hm, I will kill the girl I had been waiting for so many months.

"Look here Drishti" Lavanya made Drishti look at her. "Till the time I am here. No one will be able to harm you"

"Maria" As I was busy scrutinizing her expressions, Aryan came up with something and he called Maria.

Maria, the caretaker of the house who was in her mid 40s came running to us and wished us a 'good' evening.

"Take the girls and show them our rooms. The sensible one to mine and the little panda to his. And tell them about the prohibited places" Aryan ordered her, but to keep a check on if Lavanya who was about to show defiance Aryan had a more astounding plan "And if they caused any trouble, or that tried ro run away or do anything that displeased us, then goodbye to your second son Maria" Maria's eldest son had joined us which was very unwelcoming in her eyes but her second son whow was her only pride could be forced to join us anytime soon.

Maria shook in fear which was enough for Lavanya to be silent and Drishti to be confused.

"Maria" Drishti whispered and headed towards her. "What will happen to your son?"

"Nothing" Her lips quivered and kept her head bowed.

"Maria!" It was me.

"Mam"

"Did you not notice they came with us? So you got to show some respect?" Maria nodded in understanding "And you, who got a huge tongue" My steps advanced towards Drishti while she took her steps backward before she was caged between the wall and me. "I will meet you in some time"

Saying this I got away with my brother to the drinking room, to have a talk about the current happenings.

He poured us both a glass of bourbon and sat down in his chair before me.

"Well played Brother" Aryan complemented me.

"Not more than you Brother" We sipped the bourbon after clashing our glasses with a devilish satisfied smile.

"You were staring at her like a psychotic maniac nut freak Rakshit. I am telling you, she is not easy as she looks"

"What to say? You know we have been stalking them for two months now and I couldn't resist the sudden urge to claim her now, in a good way I mean"

"Well, cheers to our dead father and their dead parents" We tried fake smiling at each other to hide the feelimgs that laid behind.

"I couldn't believe they managed to collect the sum of money to return, even after we tried they couldn't"

"Yeah, if they hadn't. Poor souls would have been almost alive" Aryan stressed the word almost before sighing in disbelief "They should never know that their parents were murdered"

"Especially by whom they were murdered" Rotating the glass in my hand, the planned accident flashed in my mind along with the people behind it "Don't you think they are better off dead so there is no disturbance in our life and no one except us to whom the two can turn to" I kept the glass down, closing my eyes imagining the docile figure in front of me. It was just to confront ourselves that things were good when we knew none of it was good. The situation was worse than it seemed, they needed to be kept safe until the matter was sorted.

"Imagining about her?"

"Yup!" I opened my eyes before a faint holy of a devil smile covered my lips.

"Don't do anything stupid now and mess with her, she can still skin you alive by her mere talks, lol"

"Will try to Brother, will try to"

"She is not going to be scared of you"

"I am well aware of that too brother"
