He drives his car through the empty path at a fast speed, loving the feeling of adrenaline rushing through his body. He has always been a soul who loves the thrilling adventures in his life and knowing he has an empire already only made him do things and at times ignore his work which needs him.

The sense of responsibility is a bare minimum in his case in all of his friends. He is occupied by woman all around him only added to his arrogance.

At the age of 34, he is blessed with everything one could ask for and one wishes to have and he was going to live that way.

He just didn't have any idea that the day he came back from the trip, he had a surprise waiting for him.

His phone rings with Akbar name appearing on the screen, "Where are you heading to now?".

"Nowhere. You know I don't plan my adventure, that's boring". He said shrugging as he accelerated his speed

"Exactly why our guards have troubles to go through to keep you safe". Akbar snapped, "I have my hands full because of Usman already, do you have to be like this?".

"Usman and his dumb ideas are not going to be solved by stuffing all of us in the same room. If anything, he will end up killing you the moment he finds that it was your idea to hide his wife away". He said chuckling when he thinks of the angry Usman, "Don't worry! I will prepare your funeral".

Akbar sighs, "Just don't go somewhere that's dangerous".

"Yes, Sir". Awais said ending the call knowing the Akbar being a protective brother for all three of them is because he lost his best friend Kabir back in the days

Even though they all were friends but there was something unique between Kabir and Akbar. They were always the one looking out for everyone around them and they were different but similar in some ways. After losing one of the top five, Akbar took the worse impact and since then he had been working harder to be sure that they all stay safe.

But, trouble follows them and it is so long one man can look after all of them.

He still doesn't get why they want to be tied down to someone when they can enjoy the empire they have built with so much work. There is a whole world to experience which he had been doing for a couple of years and it's been amazing.

Besides the time when he finds himself in emptiness. But he surpassed it for as long as he wants inside of him and not showing the effect his heart suffer to anyone around him.

As he drives into the wild he finds a group of men at the left side in the field covered in black as they work on something. He frowns not wanting to cause trouble he turns his head back to road only to find the car coming from opposite almost hitting him throwing him off balance as his car runs into something losing the balance and flipping off.

He groaned when the car finally stops and the pounding headache that follows right after as he tries to clear the blurry vision. He finds someone banging on the car window and he moves his hand only to find that he must have broken it because of the pain that rushes through it.

Next thing he knows he was out of the car as someone pulled him and he blinks his eyes to find the masked man looking at him. The man bends down placing a hand over his chest and when his eyes meet the man the sense of familiarity runs all over him.

"Kabir". He mumbles shocked out of mind

He heard his guards coming and the man disappeared in the thin air. He ordered his guards to not inform anything about this to Akbar because if Akbar knows, he is in big trouble.

The next time he opened his eyes in the hospital almost losing the entire memory of the night before because of the conclusions. His guard came in after 5 minutes late so they have no idea how he came out of the car or what exactly happened.

With the speed he was moving he knows his guards couldn't have caught on to him. He chose to bury the incident in this strange land not wanting to stir anything that shouldn't be stirred.

He disposed of his car knowing he had many more cars in his mansion anyways.

He enters inside his office liking the attention he gets as he walks in confident stride to his private elevator followed by his guards. As he exits on the main floor where his office is, he waited for his secretary only for his manager to come and he knows what was next.

A whole long interview for a new potential candidate for the secretary role. He had increased the salary, offered several benefits and did everything else but none of them ever stay over a month.

It is hard enough to find one every month and train them only for them to run away from him. His good-look should have been enough for them to stay, right?.

He sighs watching a woman walking inside and as he looks at her uninterested she went blushing for no reason and stuttering halfway through already failing the interview.

"I don't want to do this anymore". He said groaning placing his head on the table, "Why can't you find one yourself?".

He heard the door opening with a loud bang starling everyone in the room as in walk a petite auburn hair beauty as her eyes narrow at him. With a long stride, she reaches right in front of him banging the papers in front of him.

"Who are you?". He asked confused

"Your next secretary". She said with every ounce of her filled with confidence

She doesn't even look fade by standing in front of him as her posture remains strong and her eyes held nothing but pure confidence something that excites him until his phone rings and he finds his father calling him.

"Yes?". He asked answering the call

"I have sent my close employee to work directly for you". His father said irritated with his non-serious attitude, "There will be no interviews held and she will be working without any explanation".

"How is that fair?. We have candidates that are more qualified". He said narrowing his eyes at the woman who shrugged his concern off

"Then you should have worked with them all this time instead of them leaving you in a month". His father said angrily, "They are qualified enough for the job but not to handle someone like you which my employee can and if I find any complain from her side, you will face me directly".

The call ended as he asked everyone to leave his office and he continued to examine the woman.

She looks delicate with her filled cheeks and the soft skin he could tell just by looking at them. Her curly auburn hair is the perfect for her bold honey brown eyes that were shining because of the sunlight entering from the large window on the side.

"Are you going to continue looking at me or are we going to speak about work?". She asked sitting in front of him on the chair

He tilts his head, "I have never heard about you before".

"You don't need to". She said nonchalantly, "I am here for work so I need the information now".

"What's the hurry?". He asked charmingly smile that most people love but her blank expression only infuriates him

"If you don't have anything important to say I will be on my way". She said standing

"You know you will have to travel along with me and more?". He asked hurriedly as she starts to move out of the door

She turns around looking at him, "Isn't the obvious for a TJC peoples?".

His eyes shine with mischief, "Oh, so you do know about us".

She sighs shaking her head, "You are in the business world and you all rule over it. I work in this field, isn't it natural for me to know?".

He feels his tongue-tied, "Keep telling yourself that. I know you are our fan".

She takes steps towards him looking right in his eyes, "I am not even close to being a fan of an ignorant, self-centred, immature man like you or the other in your team".

He looks at her amazed by the fury in her eye, "You seem to have hate for us without even knowing us".

"I know you enough". She snapped then she closes her eyes calming herself down, "Where do I need to go now?".

"Walk out of my office and to the right you will have the place to sign the contract". He said waving his hand wanting her out of here

She nodded, "I have a contract with your father already".

"This one is under my supervision just for the paperwork". He stated as his phone rings with a message from Zafar to meet

She nodded heading out of the door and as she exits she leans on the door taking a deep breath. It was hard enough to stand in front of this man and now she would have to deal with him and his unbearable attitude.

She walks to sign the contract working the day to know more about everything that she needs to be doing. Though she found everyone giving her looks probably because she was selected without any interview but she ignored them.

He enters inside the tower with his head still filled with the Auburn hair girl he just met and he doesn't even remember her name. He bumped into the elevator door in his power walk groaning as he went to the floor Zafar asked him to come at to discuss Usman's matter.

Just as she was about to exits with the information of the apartment that her office rented out for her, she found him leaving his office and he had been outside for most of the day.

"Hey". He said loudly drawing attention from everyone which was already on him but having them more curious because his attention was on her, "You are still here?".

"Everyone's is here beside the boss". She said walking past him to take a taxi to the new place

"You shouldn't be this way with your boss". He said mad at her attitude

She turns around giving him a sickeningly sweet smile, "Sir, would you mind if I head back home or do you need something from me?".

"I want you to buy me a new car". He said opening his car door to take the magazine out where he saw the new car and marked it

He throws the magazine at her and she catches it gracefully, "Why will I have to do that?".

"Because I said so". He said smirking making the anger built inside of her rise

She throws the magazine back at him which he didn't get to catch making it fall on the ground.

"Just to be clear". She said moving towards him as he steps back, "Your father sent me here on a purpose".

"What purpose?. To marry me to you?". He asked because his parents were driving him crazy over it

She laughs at his words for a couple of minutes wiping her tears away, "Marry you?. I wouldn't even consider that if that was in the deal".

"Why not?. Everyone wants to marry me". He stated as a matter of fact

"Then go and marry everyone besides me". She said angrily

"So what is your purpose then?". He said ignoring her words

"I am here to make sure you live the coming years in a better way". She said picking the magazine, "I am your employee in the working hours after that we don't have any business. I am not going to buy you unnecessary things that put a restrain on the company's budget and boost your ego. I will not let you off the hook to run around instead of working when you are required to work".

He laughs, "It's bold of you to think I will let you do all of that".

She smirks, "You don't have to let me do anything because I will do everything that is needed in any way possible".

"You can't do that. I will have you fired". He snapped

"Good thing I am not under direct contract with you. I work for your father so the only one who can fire me will be him". She said with a smug smile as she turns around to call a taxi leaving him shocked

He looks at her bewildered trying to understand exactly what had happened when she turns around looking at him.

"Your life is going to turn upside down soon". She chuckles

And he should have considered that warning more seriously.

Because in a matter of 365 days, his life flipped.

She stops for a moment before she added, "My name is Laila Tahir, remember it".

He sure was going to remember it for the rest of his life.
