I froze in my tracks as the guns were aimed at me. Will they shoot me? But why? Aren't they supposed to punish Harshad for sitting in The Boss chair instead of shooting me for throwing the Thai Green curry at him?

"Relax, Guys! She is stupid and not worthy." He ordered the men around him and they obeyed by dropping their aim from me.

"What do you mean by it Harshad? You are stupid by sitting in the Boss chair and in his room." I yelled at him.

Harshad started wiping his face with a tissue paper to remove the curry stains. "Well, I am the Boss!"

"No. You are The Boss brother, Harshad. Manik is the Boss." I said getting confused with his words.

He laughed.

"You mean the one lying dead? I don't think he will ever wake up. As of now,  I am in next line to be a Boss."

I shook my head.

"No. Manik is taking rest for his internal organs. He will be back and you must go from this place before he gets angry." I tried to explain it to him. "Remember, Manik's punches always disfigured your face."

His face turned serious. "He was stabbed by the Rathore's men, who are well trained in using the combat knives. Those men know how to kill someone and they have used poisoned blades, so there is no way, Manik will heal." He walked towards me and stood a feet away.

"Manik. Will. Die." He stressed every word.

Thud!

He fell on the ground as I kicked him between his legs. I immediately sat on his back and pulled his hair in my fists. He yelped in pain but it wasn't enough for me. He has to be sorry for uttering those words against my Manik.

Harshad not belonging to the Mafia couldn't defend himself even from a princess like me. It made easier for me to attack this American boy who is crying for help.

His soldiers finally detached me from Harshad's hair and I pulled fistful of his hair in my hand. As soon as he stood up with the help of his men I blew the loose hair in my fist on his face and he began sneezing continuously.

"That's what you get for uttering nonsense." I shouted still being in the clutches of his men.

"Thank your stars that I have no interest in killing a shitbag like you, Nandini. If there is anyone in your place they would be dead by now." He warned me.

"Why?" I realised something and scoffed. "You think I will still marry you? No. You are toxic and I am cancelling the marriage."

"No. I will harm anyone who is my opponent and you are not one of them."

"One of them? Dude I literally hit you and gave you a bald patch." I said with confidence.

"My goal right now is to kill anyone who is related to Manik, the former Boss. Like Manik's soon to be wife Alya, Manik's right hand Cabir and Manik's mother, Niyonika. They are a threat to me and not you." He stated like a matter of fact.

I gasped.

He shouldn't have triggered my weak point. "I am close to Manik than anyone you have listed, idiot. I am soon to be Manik's wife and I love him."

He laughed so hard it vibrated in the closed room.

"Stop dreaming sweety! Manik will not marry you just because you warmed his bed for a few nights. He will marry Alya as per their agreement." His eyes had a dangerous glint. "The thrill of killing the wife of Boss is something else."

"Then you should kill me and not Alya. I will be Manik's wife. Manik confessed that he loves me and he did it to nobody." I bragged.

"Really? You really believe all the shit men say to get into the pants? I said a thousand something like this to your maid now look what's her situation." He twirled the paper weight on the table between his fingers. "In this Mafia world we have to do many things to get powerful."

His words are shaking me. Will Manik lie to me? Is his love fake? What if I am being used by Manik in his power game?

I shook my head trying to not believe anything my mind suggests. No. I can not doubt Manik. I love him and I should not lose my trust just because this Bullock Cart is spewing all these nonsense.

"Manik is not all men!" I said gaining Harshad's attention. "Manik is The Boss and will be The Boss. Nobody can match even a single string of him." I said it in my own way.

He was about to reply me but stopped as soon as Niyonika ran into the room sobbing.

"My angel, what are you doing? Why are you in this hell instead of going to the mainland?"

"I don't want to go anywhere. I am the Boss."

She gasped. "No. Don't utter such words my child. I can't lose you in this Mafia world. You are precious leave all this to Manik."

Harshad rolled his eyes. "Manik is dead and someone has to protect our Empire. So, I will do it. I am the Boss."

Niyonika covered his mouth from uttering more words. "My child, why must you risk your precious life. Let the next rank take The Boss place and you go to the mainland."

She did not care about Manik even for a second. How narcissistic can she be to ignore a son like Manik.

Harshad threw the paper weight on the floor and clutched Niyonika's throat. "Stop your fake love. You love only Manik and not anyone. Your dear son will be battling for his life and I will kill you with my hands infront of his eyes. I have to remain in the history by killing the mother of the Boss."

Niyonika struggled in his grip. "I am your mother, Angel. Look at me. I think you are angry now but forgive me if I am the reason behind it. You are the only person I love in this entire world."

He loosened his grip on her neck and he smiled. "Then be my guest! My first kill will be you." He gave a maniac laugh. "You will do that for me, won't you, Ma?"

Niyonika was shaking like a leaf.

"This is all Manik's fault! Even being on the verge of his death he is still managing to spoil my Angel's behaviour. I wish he was dead soon instead of making our lives hell." She cried falling on Harshad's chest.

He pulled her by her hair. "You will die one second before or after Manik's death. You have to be buried next to him, alive or dead."

"Harshad, don't spoil your life by getting into this mess." She cried but Harshad did not listen to her.

"Soldiers, lock her in her room." He shoved his mother to the floor and the men dragged her away.

"What the hell?" I screamed. "She is still the mother of the Boss. How could you treat her in this way? Don't you have any respect for our Empire?" I questioned them standing infront and blocking their way.

"We respect only the orders and do not care from whom? He is our Boss and we are working according to his orders." They said with no emotions.

"At least have some respect for this woman. She is the Queen for a long time." I tried to convince them.

Niyonika stood up and wiped her tears. "Who are you to oppose my Angel's orders? If I want to live or die that will be my wish. Harshad has all rights to kill his mother and you have nothing to do with our life."

She turned behind and gave Harshad a smile. "I am ready to die for you, my son. Not because of your point to prove by killing the ex Boss mother, but to prove you that your mother loves you even in her last breath."

"Soldiers, take her away." He ordered once again.

"Please talk to your mother when she becomes a star in the sky. I will always look out for you from the sky. Don't forget me." She cried as she was dragged to her room.

I didn't know how to respond. I froze and heard this woman making no sense. It would take forever to decode her stupidity.

"So, where were we?" Harshad questioned bringing me out of my thoughts. "How did you even enter this mansion? Alya and Cabir are negotiating with me for extention of the attack and you are here. Didn't anyone care for your life?"

I huffed. "Why would anyone send me here? I am soon to be The Boss, Manik's wife and I am here to protect him. I will bring you down and save my Manik."

"Nandini. Nandini. Nandini. Just because a man says he loves you as you warm his bed doesn't have to be true. Every slut has this dream of getting married but it will never be fulfilled."

What has my dress slit have to do anything with my marriage? Should I stitch it more or tear it more?

As I was in lost in my thoughts he spoke again. "You won't be killed as I don't want the bullet to be wasted on worthless piece like you. But you will be punished for all your mischief." He stood infront of me making me gag as his cologne hit my nostrils.

"I will marry you but you will be my maid. You will give my ego boost. A princess working like a bitch for me is a sight to watch. I will fuck every consort infront of your eyes but I will never touch you, so that you will be reminded how undesirable your existence is in the world. You wouldn't be able to do anything, because you will be The Boss, Harshad's wife."

I saw his teeth so close to my face as he spoke and it scared me. I wanted to run away but his strong body was inches apart from me.

His words were dangerous and that's all I understood. Half of those words didn't make any sense to me and the rest which made scared me to life. His passion for being the top ranked Boss in the history is crossing all the boundaries.

"Are you blushing or burning in anger, sweetheart?" He said touching my cheek and I flinched with disgust.

He noticed my expression and yanked my hair and made me face his angry face. "You are not a princess, you are a maid to The Boss. Remember it. And you had no problem when you spread your legs to Manik, now why are you acting innocent? I am your Lord and you have to bear anything I order. Got it." He said and pushed me to the floor as I hit my forehead to the wall.

I felt a white light flash infront of me before it became normal.

"Soldiers, lock her in the room as well." Harshad ordered and the soldiers who went to lock Niyonika came back running to me and dragged me from the room.

I have to do something. I promised Manik that I will make things right in the mansion before he wakes up. I can not let this Bullock Cart win or manhandle me.

"No. Please don't lock me in Manik's room." I fake cried. If they locked me in any room I have no route to escape but in Manik's room I have a secret door which will help my movement.

"Harshad, please. Staying in Manik's room is a torture to me. That's a worst punishment you can give to me just because you want to give a highest punishment to reach your top rank." I hit my chest while fake crying.

Harshad gave a maniac laugh. "You will get what you deserve." He turned to the soldiers. "Throw her into Manik's room and do not give her food till I order."

I jumped with happiness internally. "No. Harshad, you can't do that to me. It's suffocating to live in his room. Please." I yelled as I was being dragged and thrown into the room.

I smirked as soon as the doors closed on my face. I stood up and looked at Manik's painting in the room with a winning smile plastered on my face.

I am here Manik, I will make sure to set everything right by the time you heal. The architecture in Harshad's brain is not good and I will repair it with the broth.

Told you! Nandini Murthy, the dragon entered the mansion.
