Riddhima's pov;

Let me rewind what happened in the past 24 hours of my life, i signed up a fucking deal with vansh, the last person on earth that i ever thought to have a deal with, then got invited to a pub which apparently needs a winning streak? Like what the fuck? And now i am going to ride with him and for him. "My life sucks" i whispered to myself. "Did you say anything?" vansh asked as we got in the car. "So that's why you bought this car? For the race?" i ask him as i strap my seat belt in. "well i can't get a Hyundai car, for such a big race, can i?" he thought for a second, which didn't even need thinking, of course it was to mock my question.

All cars were ready at the starting point, ready for that gun to be blown. I can hear the car's rising their gear, ready to take off. I was a very good driver, i was used to this, because i had my share of car chases in my job, previous job. "Here take it, you might need it, works better than yours" he said and handed over a frickin' gun? "Why, what the fuck??" i ask him, because it threw me off guard. "What, you came alone with me and didn't bring a gun? Anyway you will need it soon, you will know, when the time has come." he said and before i could question anything. The gun was fired indicating the death race has begun.

It happened soo fast, i could barely think straight. We were going in 190 kmph and i liked every bit of it. First time in a long time i felt happy and the adrenalin rush was damn good! We were almost done with 5 laps of the map, but the happiness didn't last long. I heard gun shots, they all were firing at us. "Why are they shooting us??" i screamed because of course the sound of air and the speed. "Because they want to kill me, this was a set up to kill me!!" he said changing the gear. "And you knew that? And still bought me??" i asked him in utter disbelief.

"Well i can't trust anyone else to be good with guns except you after me ofcourse" he said smiling. "Might wanna start shooting them" he advised me. I look at the gun in my hand, all to be honest i thought of nothing else but to kill. I started shooting from my window. Few were clean head shots! But sadly few were only tire shots. The other group people were on vansh's side, I shifted onto vansh's lap, so that i can shoot them "You better don't get us killed by, crashing the car. "He was tall, so of course i was not blocking his view, our position was almost like hugging each other. Almost like this but in a car.

"Well then you better don't get yourself killed" he said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes off. "Take the wheel, i'll handle the rest" he said and we shifted our position, he opened the sun roof and started shooting. "We had that option all the time, and you didn't tell me??" i ask him with raged eyes. "You never asked sweetheart, by the i think you might need to step on that pedal, because they are catching upto us" he said while shooting them. There was a dead end ahead, i thought we can't make it, but i saw a turn, it was going to be a sharp turn though. "I guess they are out of bullets, we can get away" vansh said happily.

"Ummm...vansh look ahead" he looked and his smile dropped. "Yep even if it was for a second, that i delayed there was another dead end." FUCK! The people who were left in the cars got down, they are interested in a fight maybe? "Shoot them" i said looking at vansh. "What do you think? I haven't thought about that? even we are out of bullets" he said getting down of the car.

"Come on vansh, you are outnumbered, there is a new entry into your soo called, mafia world. This was him way of informing you that he is in it to takeover, so you can kiss your title of 'Mafia's king' an absolute good bye." a man said. Vansh started laughing like crazy. "Well, he will also know that, he lost this little game, when he find you all drop dead, lets say that's my way of welcoming him, into the business" vansh said looking at them with pity.

Vansh got ready in a fighting position. "What are you waiting for you assholes? Come" he said. God too much drama. I took out my other gun and started shooting them all. I mean i must appreciate myself, because all of them were headshots. "Now can we go that bar, i need drinks" i said looking at vansh, my overcoat which was white was now blood red, like actual, literal blood red. I took it off and threw it in the backseat. Now i was wearing only a sleeveless black tank top.

Soon we arrived at the bar and i ordered drinks (for myself). "Come on, now you can't deny the fact that you liked the whole killing" he asked as he sat beside me. "Well does it matter?" i asked him with plain voice. "Why do you hate me riddhima?" he asked me softly. "You kill people, you do illegal things, you don't see the difference between good and bad" i said almost shouting at him.

"Then you even hate yourself?" he asked me raising his brows. I gave him a 'What do you mean' look which he understood. "You killed all those people, your job is different now remember? You are a civilian with no right to kill, unlike your previous job. You enjoy killing people, you like to see the light in them go out, you are too deep in this to change yourself now, killing all those people was also illegal, how are we both different riddhima?" he asked, what he said was true, but i didn't want to accept that to him or to anyone.

Because saying it out loud, might just make it true, which i didn't wanted it to be. "tell me, you see yourself in the mirror and like what you see?" he started persuading me about it more now. "So what was all this? To prove me that we both are alike? Never!!" i said and drank almost a full bottle of what looks like vodka, or something that is actually strong.

The bar is rising!! How are you liking it soo far?
