Meera’s POV:
I was being carried like a sack of potatoes on his back, no matter how hard I hit him he wouldn’t budge. I was tired of all the beating and attempts to escape his grip. we were walking down the stairs and I had no idea where this place was. That’s right! I know what you must be thinking, this girl had no idea what she was doing and yet she calls herself a journalist? in that case, let me explain to you exactly what happened this morning
this morning I woke up to my routine and got ready to leave for work and by work I mean THE DCM NEWS company where I work as a journalist, I stay alone in my apartment my mother died when I was 10 years old and my father remarried, eventually I moved out of the house at 18 and took up part time jobs to fund my education. In short, I’m not on good terms with my dad’s family so I prefer to be all by myself. I love my job, it just gives me thrills which I love.
Okay, so today I was supposed to work on a sting operation, this being my first time I chose the most dread subject i.e, Aryan Khan. Despite the fact that he has the worst reputation as a human and infamous for his underworld king image I thought I was good at my job and nothing would go wrong. well, now I guess I understand the meaning of overconfidence and also the reason why people are scared of him.
As far as my memory goes I distinctly remember walking in the shadows, there would be no one who could tell if they were being trailed. yet, I ended up like this. I was walking on the pavement towards the 7-star hotel as I was following my subject. I know my instincts are sharp so I was being watchful of his security and moved into the hotel and took a table diagonally opposite to his. I ordered a coffee while sticking a camera under the table and started to walk towards the washroom. this whole place seemed to be covered with CCTV, the only way to collect information would be to bug this whole place with hidden cameras.
While I was there I could feel eyes on me, I guess I have been spotted. Well, they can’t do a thing to me in this broad day light under these CCTVs so I better make a run to the restroom and slip away from this place. The initial plan was to only track his business dealings and bug the hotel. I was done with that, but my stupidity would never be at peace unless I do something rebellious.
Yup! you got me, nothing of this sort would have happened had I escaped from the back door instead I chose to return and speak to the girls working there. I hit on this idea while I entered the washroom. I found a lady in her 20s crying. I wonder what could have happened?
As I enquired I only got to know that she was being made to sleep with all sorts of men as a business dealing. that was it! I started noting down the details which she would have never revealed to me had I not told her about my identity. I know revealing your identity while in a sting operation is the worst thing one can do. I realized it just then!
I was done with noting down the details and now I was in a hurry to give my report. As I opened the door to step out I bumped into a hard chest. WHAT?!! what’s happening?
The man standing right in front of me was none other than the Mafia King himself, Aryan. I’m dead I’m so so oooooh dead! I gulped and tried to act like a normal customer but, he seemed to have concluded something about me and refused to give me the way.
“what’s the hurry sweetheart?”
I heard him clear his throat and walk towards me. that’s when I grabbed my pepper spray and sprayed it all over him. He screamed in pain and I took this opportunity to make a run upstairs. I know that’s a dumb idea but what else I could do? there was only one way to the main exit or entrance which was now being guarded by his security.
As I was running I saw a room open this might be the chance, I thought and walked inside hiding in the closet.
" Get the cars ready”
I heard him speak. what? are we in the lobby already? great! this is my chance.
“I think I’m going to be sick”, I spoke
“what is it, sweetie?”
Sweetie? seriously? is he mad? what’s with him? just wait, you jerk, I’m going to get away from you.
“I am not good with lifts I get motion sickness when I get in one so please let me down, I’ve got to ...“,
I’ve never been good with an elevator that’s the reason I always prefer stairs. Although, my condition was not worse than usual. the moment he puts me on the ground he is so going to regret what he’s done!
“Baby you’ve got to take care of yourself, I wonder how will you handle the morning sickness once you are in bed with me?“,
He gave a mischievous smirk. WHAT A JERK? is he for real? like morning sickness? and in bed with him? what is he? I just got to control my anger. I took a deep breath, there were not many people around so I took this opportunity to kick him between the legs and run into a taxi. that’s it! he is so dead! I had an evil laugh in my mind.
