Meanwhile, in a dark room, two people were sitting on opposite sides of a table.

A woman’s voice could be heard; her tone was low but had an evil hint. “So, are you ready to join me in this? It’s a win-win situation for us. I will get ASR, and you can get Samaira.”

“Why do you want to help me?” the man asked a little doubtfully.

“It’s simple: I want ASR to be mine, and you want Samaira to yourself. I have deep knowledge about her personal life, which can be useful for you, and you can make her yours while I need your resources to get ASR FASHIONS,” the woman said with a voice filled with hate and desperation.

“I am ready to work with you, but how can I trust you? She is under the safety of the Oberoi Empire now. We can’t touch her until she is there,” the man said with a smirk.

“You are right; we can’t touch her until she is inside the Oberoi Empire, until she is inside the Oberoi property. We just need to make sure she has to leave the property, and we can get her easily,” the woman said with a proud and confident voice, impressing the man with her plan.

“I think I know how to do it. Alright, I am ready to work with you,” said the man as they both got up. The man shook her hand and walked out of the room.

The woman looked at the young man walking out of the room and smirked to herself. She picked up the glass of red wine and drank it.

“Stupid Samaira and her stupid stalker. What a fool he is! Your destruction is arriving soon, Samaira. I will make sure to snatch everything from you the same way you did from me. Be ready to lose ASR.”

After 2 hours, Samaira was sleeping deeply when suddenly her phone rang. She opened her eyes drowsily, trying her best to wake up, and picked up the call.

Suddenly, she got startled and sat up straight, her voice turning stern and strict. “What do you mean the outfits are spoiled? I made sure all the outfits were shipped with highly professional security and packaging. You know what? You guys stay at the airport; I am coming right now, and I will see what to do with you all.”

“These idiots can’t handle one job professionally. These dresses are so important for Amyra’s engagement,” Samaira muttered to herself as she got up quickly, changed, and walked out of the room with a tense face.

Once she closed the door behind her, she walked out and saw Ruhi and Nitya talking.

Ruhi and Nitya saw Samaira, and Nitya asked, seeing her tense face, “What happened, Samaira? You are looking so tense.”

“The outfits I prepared for the engagement—I just got a call from the security head. They have been spoiled, and I don’t know how much the damage is, but I need to see it personally. If anyone else’s outfit is spoiled, I can at least arrange them, but Amyra’s outfits are all custom-designed by me according to her taste. I am going to drive to the airport to check the shipping,” Samaira said, informing Nitya and Ruhi.

Ruhi said with concern as she patted her shoulder, trying to calm Samaira, “I will also come. And don’t get tense; everything will be okay. I am sure Amyra won’t mind. Anything designed by you, she would love to wear it.”

She knew how much time and dedication Samaira had given to the outfits.

“I will also join you guys. Is it okay if I also come?” Nitya asked Samaira, who nodded, and the three walked towards the car parking.

Nitya ordered the security to get the keys of all the cars. Samaira picked up a key, and the three sat down in the car. Samaira sat in the driver’s seat, Ruhi joined her in the passenger seat, and Nitya sat behind.

A driver came running towards the car, but Samaira instructed him that she could drive.

She started driving towards the airport.

Meanwhile at Oberoi Haveli (Ahaan and Amyra’s room)

Ahaan sat beside Amyra on the bed, who was sleeping peacefully sprawled on the bed. He was working on his laptop, checking some files about the newly launched guns that they would soon be releasing in the underworld market.

Suddenly, Amyra turned around, placing her legs on Ahaan’s, making the laptop slip from his grip and fall on the bed.

Ahaan picked up his laptop, closed it, and kept it aside as he looked at Amyra, whose blanket was almost falling. He pulled the blanket toward Amyra and covered her. He looked at her with soft eyes and removed a few strands of hair that were disturbing her.

He smiled to himself, seeing her cute and adorable but peaceful expression, remembering the first time he saw her.

Flashback, 7 years ago

It was the month of September, and Ahaan Oberoi was walking toward the library to get some books. He was a handsome and young 21-year-old boy, but his expressions and posture screamed maturity and dominance. There were injuries on his body, and he could feel the pain but didn’t dare to show them. He was training to take up the throne of Mafia King.

As he turned around the corner of one of the shelves, he suddenly bumped into someone, and the person whom he bumped into fell on the ground because of the strong impact.

He really didn’t want to care for the stupid person he had just bumped into, but he still took a look at her, and it was like he felt a sudden surge of emotions. He was annoyed now.

First that girl bumped into him, and now she was smiling at him. “I am really sorry; I didn’t know someone was around the corner,” he heard her say in a polite tone as she picked up her book and gave him a soft smile and rushed from there. He could see the books she was holding. Though he was not sure, she must be a medical major, he thought.

Author POV

Meanwhile, the girl who bumped into him rushed toward the ground where students used to sit with their friends and do their work, study, or just chat.

She quickly rushed to her friend, who was doing some assignments, and excitedly shouted, “Ruhi!!! Do you know whom I just bumped into?”

“Amyra, we have to complete these assignments; we can talk about your crushes later,” Ruhi said in a tense tone.

“You are so boring; if Samaira were here, she would have listened to me,” Amyra said dramatically, trying to look sad.

“Okay, fine, fine. Now don’t go around crying to Samaira; she is also busy, and I know once you two start discussing your crush, you won’t complete any work. So bark now, idiot,” Ruhi said, finally focusing on Amyra and feeling a little surprised seeing a very wide smile on her face. “Whom did you really bump into to be so happy?”

“Who can it be other than the most mysterious personality of our college?” Amyra said with sparkly eyes, making Ruhi tense as the smile was wiped off her face.

“Amyra, how many times have I told you to stop crushing on him? He is a very dangerous person; even Samaira has warned you about him. See, you can date or crush on anyone you want except him,” said Ruhi in a stern tone.

“But I really like him. And it’s not like he is a mafia or something, though I wouldn’t mind if he was in the mafia either,” Amyra said, trying to convince Ruhi.

“Amyra, you have seen him from afar; you have not even talked to him. How do you even know if he is a good person or not?” Ruhi said, trying to convince Amyra.

“Yeah, but... you and Samaira promised me that you would always support me,” Amyra said sadly.

“Of course we will, but if it’s something that’s going to harm you, then I don’t think any of us will support him. And have you not heard about him? He literally beat 3 boys alone to death. They are still in the hospital; even the faculty is scared of him. He doesn’t even talk to anyone,” Ruhi said, completely in disbelief.

“What those boys did, they deserved it. They shouldn’t have tried to harass that girl; it’s not his fault that they were forcing her in front of him,” Amyra said.

“He didn’t beat them for harassing the girl. Did you not hear him speak? He hit those boys because they were standing in his way,” Ruhi said, clearly looking stressed now.

“I like him, and it’s not like he is ever going to like me anyway, so you don’t need to be so worried,” Amyra said, shrugging it off. She couldn’t understand why Ruhi was so worried.

“Okay, yeah, anyways, did you talk to Sam? How are her studies going, and how is business?” Amyra asked Ruhi.

“I was also not able to call her for a long time; she is busy, and I don’t really want to disturb her,” said Ruhi with a sad face.

"I am missing her," Amyra said, looking down.

"Yeah, if only we could take leaves to meet her. She is really stressed nowadays; she has to manage her studies, designing, and business startup all together. And financial instability is another problem. I mean, Aunty and Uncle, no one is really in support of her starting her business. They want her to complete the degree and find a job rather than do business," Ruhi said absentmindedly.

"I can understand; they both are right in their own places. Business has risks, and not coming from a business family and starting up a business on your own is hard when you do not have a permanent source of income. But Samaira is not wrong either. Without risk, you can never run a business, and she really wants to start up ASR," Amyra said.

"I will call her later in the evening; I have no shift today. You have an evening shift?" Ruhi asked Amyra.

"Yeah, I will be back by 8 pm. Just talk to her and see how everything is going. I have sent her the money I saved last month for the startup," Amyra said with a smile.

"I also have sent her the money. I know she doesn't like it, but every business needs an investor, and for now, we would like to take up that role. She is really working hard, and I am sure she will be able to fulfill her dream of building ASR," said Ruhi with a confident smile.

The two talked for some more time while completing their assignments. Soon the day passed, and it was 7 in the evening.

Ruhi was in her dorm room, which she shared with Amyra. She decided to call Samaira.

Ruhi called Samaira, who soon picked up the call.

Samaira’s POV

I was sitting in my dorm room, which I shared with one more girl, doing some work. My side of the room was filled with a lot of packages that consisted of the materials required for my startup.

Soon, my phone rang; I checked it to see Ruhi calling. I smiled, finally. I was missing her and Amyra, but I knew they were busy because of studies, so I didn’t call either of them.

I picked up the call and heard Ruhi’s voice from the other side.

"Hey Ruhi, how are you, idiot? How is everything going?" I asked.

Ruhi answered, "Nothing much, just got free. Amyra is having to submit some assignments. How is everything? Is the startup going okay?"

I turned tense and said, "College is going fine; the startup is building well, but I need to search for a bigger place. I have checked a few locations, but some of them are either too expensive or their location is not that good. But I am sure I will find a location. I am going to see some locations this weekend. What about Amyra? How is she?"

"She is good, but there seems to be a problem," Ruhi said, and tension could be felt in her voice.

"What happened?" I asked with concern.

"What else? Her crush! I don’t know how to explain it to her," Ruhi said, sounding in disbelief.

"Her crush?! You mean Ahaan Oberoi? But why? There are so many people in this world, why does she have to like him only? You know how dangerous he is!" I said in shock and disbelief.

"Don’t even ask me. You know how stubborn she is. I just hope that this crush remains a crush only. If it gets serious, she could be in danger," Ruhi said worriedly.

"Yeah, let’s just hope so. Keep an eye on her. That girl has a knack for inviting danger. Also, are you training well? This training is really exhausting for me," I said.

"Yeah, I am. Amyra and I train daily. After doing some work officially, we will be leaving the dorms and have decided to take a rented room. Also, if possible, Amyra and I will try to join you to see the location on the weekend. Is there any place that you found that you may think of buying?" Ruhi asked.

"Yeah, actually there is. It’s a beautiful but abandoned building. The location is good, but the owner is out of India now. I did contact the owner; they told me that they are ready to sell the building at a lower price because they don’t really need it, as their whole family is also out of India. But the important thing is that before selling the building, they would like to know the plan of my startup. If they think the business is going to flourish, then they might sell it to me and also invest in it. They will be coming this weekend only. It’s better if you guys can also join in," I said with an excited voice.

"That’s great. I will discuss it with Amyra and we’ll try our best to come on the weekend," said Ruhi with a smile, and soon the call ended.

Flashback Ends

Everyone arrived in the hall within 5 minutes. Ahaan hung up the call with the person he was talking to.

The members saw Ahaan look angry while Amyra was both tense and concerned.

Reyansh asked, "What happened, bhai, bhabhi? You called us so urgently?"

Ahaan looked at Amyra’s worried face, which was increasing his anger. No reason should make his Sunshine hurt. He was worried for Nitya; of course, she was his sister, but that didn’t mean he was any less worried for Samaira and Ruhi.

They both were not his real sisters, but he always saw them as his sisters. She might only be Amyra’s best friend, but he knew how important they were for his Sunshine.

"Samaira, Ruhi, and Nitya are admitted to the hospital. I got a call from City Hospital. They met with an accident on their way to the airport," Ahaan said, trying to calm himself.

Everyone gasped in shock, and the family looked worried.

"But how? Leave that. First, we need to go to the hospital," Vandana said.

"Don’t worry, Choti Maa, nothing will happen to Nitya. You stay here. We will go and check. You can come once we ensure they all are safe," Amyra said, looking at Nalini so that she could also convince Vandana, as it was not safe for everyone to go to the hospital considering they didn’t know the reason behind the accident yet.

"Vandana, don’t worry. Ahaan and Amyra will be able to handle everything. Don’t take too much stress," Vikram said to Vandana in a brotherly way.

Vihaan suddenly said, "I am also coming."

They all noticed Vihaan walking towards the cabinet where guns were kept. He took a gun and left the hall, walking outside, which worried everyone.

Dadi said worriedly, "Ahaan, Amyra, go with him. He is not in the right mind and we don’t know what ruckus he will cause."

"Ahaan, I will also come with you, and Reyansh, you also come. I need to discuss something with both of you and Vihaan," Agastya said, to which Ahaan and Amyra nodded.

Agastya said, "Vikram Uncle, I think it’s time for inspection."

Vikram and Rajeev looked at each other as Rajeev said, "Right. We will discuss it later."

"We should go now," said Amyra, who was looking very tense. Reyansh and Agastya nodded and ran outside to see Ahaan holding Vihaan in a tight hold.

Amyra separated them both and said to Vihaan, "Vihaan, calm down. Your anger is only going to increase her pain. Right now, we need to go to the hospital."

Vihaan calmed down a little as they all sat in the cars and drove toward the hospital. Agastya and Reyansh looked tense as Vihaan was driving recklessly.

Soon, they all reached City Hospital.

Amyra was getting more anxious; she didn’t know why, but she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, which worried her to no extent. Ahaan, sensing Amyra’s concern, tried to calm her down. He himself was feeling angered, but he knew he had to control his anger for his family and his Amyra.

They both got out of the car and saw Vihaan, Agastya, and Reyansh also getting out of the car. While Vihaan was looking angry, Agastya and Reyansh looked pale. Reyansh’s face was pale because of the terrifying way Vihaan was driving, but none of them said anything and walked fast inside.

As they all walked into the hospital, they could feel the cooling from the AC, which calmed their nerves a bit, but they were still sweating a little. They all approached the reception, and the receptionist looked up at them and asked, "How can I help you?"

Amyra stepped forward and spoke in a stern voice, scaring the receptionist a little. "We're here to see Nitya Oberoi, Samaira Singhania, and Ruhi Malhotra. They were admitted here because of an accident."

The receptionist’s eyes widened, and she quickly typed something on her computer and told them, "Please follow me. The doctor is waiting for you in the VIP area."

They all followed her to the VIP area. Ahaan had already called the hospital administration beforehand to shift the girls to the VIP rooms.
