"Good Evening, Mr. Malhotra" Nandini wished politely , even though she felt like shitting her pants just because of how nervous and scared she was. Manik knew.

Manik stood up and kept his hands inside his pocket , taking in deep breaths to restrain himself , dying to hold her captive in his arms forever.

She hoped that her greeting would ease the tension but it only got worse, her stomach worsened by the amount of butterflies she felt there at the moment. He smelled exquisite and she felt trapped at his mercy.

"You should be careful with all those people out there in the pub , No one is supposed to be trusted on nowadays , everyone has a motive , everything comes with a price." he whispered lowly near her face , his colossal frame bending down for her gave her a sense of protectiveness.

 "do you have one too?" she asked him out of the blue , feeling like to hit herself after she made the blunder. However , Manik's reaction was complete contrary from what she expected , he smiled and muttered. "Maybe or Maybe Not".

she chuckled softly , something that he found extremely adorable. She was perfect. For him. Not his son. but he's gonna make sure of that.

His rough hand brushed against her cheeks gently making them gain colors , his eyes held a soft yet intimidating look in them when he commanded." text me as soon as you smell trouble, yeah? pretty baby." his veiny hands slightly formed into rigid fists as if he was already angry on the thought of her getting in trouble. he could shred the world into tiny pieces for her.

"okay" she agreed softly , her face getting more hot than it was humanly possible. He was just so attractive , he made the Greek god's beauty overlook.

"Be safe!" he pleaded being already concerned about her safety.

He was just so in love with her already , not that she was aware of it.

"Mr. Malhotra is so hot." Mukti squealed and sighed deeply, "he's thirty-eight , also my boyfriend's father." Nandini held her hand as they entered inside the pub.

Mukti had often noticed their interactions with each other and she was also aware of her friend's crush on her boyfriend's Father and she completely got that , who wouldn't crush on that sex-god. That man made people commit sins just with his eyes.

"so what ? Go for Men not Boys." Mukti gave her a teasing smile , and they both burst out laughing.

The music wasn't loud , neither was the pub congested. It was merely perfect.

Dhruv came beside Nandini and placed his hands around her waist , which made Mukti roll her eyes , not that she didn't like him but she just preferred his father more for her bestfriend.

Nandini found Dhruv cute , and she was happy with him , but the spark was still missing , she didn't feel thrill in meeting him or his thoughts didn't bring her butterflies but a certain someone related to him did.

"what do you want to drink babe?" Dhruv asked her smiling softly towards her , he absolutely adored Nandini even though her resistance into his touches made him extremely annoyed, But overall she was a sight to behold.

"anything would do." she answered politely making him adore her even more.

Suddenly Nandini received a message. she took out her phone out of her purse.

you safe, little one? 

Nandini blushed intensely at the nickname.

yes.

Nandini texted him back and kept her phone back with shivering hands and dry throat. she felt good knowing that he cared for her, because she knew that man hardly cared for anyone.

Mukti saw the message too , she smirked at Nandini and whispered to her "he's totally into you". Making Nandini glare at her.

"Darling , I would have to leave within an hour for our football tournament." Dhruv informed Nandini , while giving her drink to her. "but wasn't I supposed to stay at your place tonight." her parents were out of town for a business meeting and she was staying at the Malhotra's Mansion for now.

"yes, of course! you can still stay there. My dad is a pretty good company" Dhruv said , which caused Nandini to clear her throat and Mukti to throw a very sly smirk towards her mouthing 'of course he is'.

"so , should I and Mukti book a cab? since you and Cabir will be gone now." Nandini queried.

"No need of that! Dad's already on his way to pick you both up." Dhruv assured and went away with Cabir to pay the bills. She felt so many butterflies on her stomach , lowkey started of being alone with him in such a big mansion all by herself.

She was heavily attracted towards him. it was so wrong yet it felt so right at the same time.

"don't get nervous Nandini , little flirting is no harm. Anyways I think he's totally smitten by you." Mukti attempted to make her friend feel better.

After few minutes Dhruv left with Cabir , giving Nandini a quick peck. Which didn't even need a glimpse to get wiped off by her. She felt guilty to wipe off his kiss but the feeling of his lips on her didn't excite her.

Mukti and her were talking and giggling when a group of drunk boys sat opposite to them in the bar counter , they were continuously looking towards them and passing vulgar comments.

 "would you care for a dance?" a guy with creepy eyes asked Nandini trying to grab her hands in his, "No. Thanks." Nandini flinched backwards trying to stay away from this creepy person that made her uncomfortable.

The guy was still staring at her with lustful eyes making her shit scared about her safety , Mukti shouted at him "Keep your eyes off her , if you don't want them to get plucked."

"Really?" the guy gave them a evil smirk , which made a lump form in Nandini's throat. " and who's gonna pluck them. Her knight in shining armor?" he laughed along his mates.

"yeah. she has a boyfriend, he'll be here any moment now." Mukti returned back a evil smirk to them.

"he doesn't have to know, come home with me ?" The guy asked Nandini smugly breathing very close to her face , making her disgusted.

She moved her face away silently praying to god for a miracle , as she turned towards the entrance , she saw a very furious looking Manik Malhotra rushing towards them with heavy steps , his jaw was clenched and fists fisted making those veins on his arms protrude.

He was always so attractive.

"you're fucked now." Mukti laughed as she spotted Manik , the guy looked towards Manik and his face became extremely pale , Manik Malhotra was a very powerful Businessman , his ruthlessness had absolutely no limit.

He and his clown bunch of friends moved back from them , Manik reached forward and grabbed by guy his throat lifting him up , he started choking and breathing heavily ready to piss his pants any minute. "try bothering her again, yeah?" Manik breathed fire on his face , his face looking the incarnation of an handsome devil.

"I - I did Nothing" the guy coughed out blood, "yeah?" Manik threatened, " but I am gonna do a lot of things now , tiny boy." he smirked making the guy scared for his life. 

Nandini was absolutely scared of Manik right now, he looked ready to kill , she ran towards him and pleaded , "Mr. Malhotra , please leave him , he won't bother us anymore." she requested softly making Manik gaze at her angrily, his face did softened up a little but the anger was still not gone.

 "I will destroy you" Manik warned the guy and pushed him on the floor, making him cry out.

"come with me" He placed his veiny hands across Nandini's waist and guided them out of the club.

They got in his car , Mukti occupied the backseat and Nandini , the passenger seat. Manik huffed angrily as his hand tightened around the steering wheel , making his knuckles turn white.

They paused at Mukti's house after a few minutes , after dropping her they moved towards the Malhotra Mansion. Nandini was very nervous as she was all alone with him in the car , that too when he was extremely angry.

 "what exactly did they do?" he turned towards Nandini , asking her sternly , his angry voice did cause flutters all across her body.

"That guy asked me to come to his home" she muttered softly avoiding to look at him, Manik cursed under his breath , "Damn!" he punched the steering wheel. " I should have killed him."

Nandini's eyes widened , not expecting this answer from him. She choose to stay silent.

She looked at him , to see him looking back at her , which caused her to quickly move her eyes from him , "I hope you're alright" He asked softly , "yeah." 

Manik suddenly grabbed her thigh in his hands , making her gasp and accidently spread her legs apart. She grabbed her dress to ease her increasing heart beats.

Nandini slightly put her hands above his which was on her thighs , making his trouser tighten around his crotch. He loved the feel of her small hands above his larger ones.

Manik slid his hands up on her thighs making her release a very soft which made him harder.  His eyes on her lips and her on his , he leaned in slightly and brushed his nose against her attempting to tease her.

"you're gonna get punished for defying me. pretty baby." Manik said in low voice , grabbing her jaw in his hands and breathing against her cheek bones.

"what did I-?" She muttered barely able to breath due to the tension between them.

"I told you to be safe. didn't I ?" He hissed angrily , grabbing her jaw more tightly in his hands.

"yes" she gasped feeling his hand way up inside her skirt.

"were you?" He grabbed her clit above her panties making her pool her panties. He moved his thumb inside her panties and moved it in an circular motion.

"No" she cried out of frustration , she wanted more , she needed more , no matter how illicit it seemed.

Suddenly , he phone rang which was kept above the dashboard. it flashed Dhruv's name on it , making her feel extremely guilty for doing this with him.

She removed Manik's hand from her and ran inside the mansion.

Manik sighed deeply , cursing his son for ruining the moment he was craving for years now.

He wanted to ruin her and make her his. And he will.
