" Just when Ryan dropped his phone, Vivaan's phone rang.
Ryan stared at him, wondering about what had happened.
" Don't look at me like that, it's your PR manager. Your mother is faster than your PR team!" He sighed and picked up the phone.
" Yes, Mr. Willams? Is the matter about Ms. Winters?" Vivaan asked the PR Manager.
" Yes, sir! She has posted a picture from the ad shoot." Mr. Williams said in a frustrated tone.
" What picture?" Vivaan frowned.
" The picture, Mr. Parker said not to use. The one in which he kissed her cheek. She captioned it as Missing with heart ins."
" Okay, Mr. Williams I will handle it personally." He sighed.
" You sure sir?"
" Yeah, I am! Thank you anyways!" He ended the call and dialed the number seeing Ryan who was staring at Vivaan with his hands on his chin.
" You checked?" Vivaan asked Ryaan as he called her.
" Yeah!" He said with a sigh.
" Hello, Ms. Winters?"
" Yeah, is that Mr. Singh?"
" Yeah, and you can call me Vivaan. I need to speak with you and it is crucial!"
" Yeah, how may I help you?" She acted as if she doesn't know even though she knew what he called her for.
" I called you to inquire about, the bloody post you just posted!" His tone suddenly switched from calm to an agitated one.
" Vivaan, you wouldn't be glad to know the consequence of speaking to me like this!" She yelled on the other side.
" Oh my! Again the shallow threats! Are you insane Isabella? Learn to see your place, because you know who we are and who you are!" He threatened.
" Don't you think? All the fans would believe only me, not him!" There was a smirk in her voice.
" Oh, bitch! How I wish, you know your place!" His politeness was long gone.
" Dare you..."
" See, you! Unlike you, I have many works to do. Dealing with you is the last thing I would ever want. I will give you 2 minutes after your call, you delete or face the consequence! I hope you don't want to face it. Thank you, Miss. Winters." He cut off her nonsense and ended the call.
He then called somebody.
EXACTLY AFTER 5 MINUTES:
Vivaan's phone rang bringing a wide smirk on the two men's faces.
" Yes, Miss. Winter's? Can I know the purpose of your call?"
" I am sorry, Mr. Singh! I've deleted the post, please can you tell him not to cancel the contract"
" Thank you, Miss. Winters. Apologies for my negligence but can I know what you are talking about?" He said smirking, she could feel him smirking but still, it's not the time for being rebellious so she cursed him in her mind and spoke.
" Sorry, Mr. Singh. Please, can you tell the company not to cancel my contract? I've already deleted the post. I am really sorry!"
" Miss. Winters, hope you understood your place. I hope this never repeats, this time I just showed a little bit of what I can do, hope you don't want to know what more I can do!" She hissed hearing his harsh tone.
" No, Mr. Singh. I wouldn't dare!"
" The same phrase you used the last time!" He sighed.
" No, Mr. Singh I promise you, this will be the last time I am posting something nonsense like this!"
" Better! That you know, you posted nonsense. This should be the last time or you would regret it!" He ended the call before she could answer anything.
" Woah! Man! You are certainly something! No one, who is in your good books could imagine you like this!"
" Don't butter up me! Get your ass to the court and start your training! From your Coach to father everyone is eating my head!" Vivaan said walking towards the door.
" Yeah! Man. Love you!" Ryan yelled with a smile.
"Your ass! Get lost!" He went out slamming the door.
He sighed and walked into his room to shower and get ready for his training.
He would get the nightmare at least twice or thrice in a month. But this specific week in the years has been painful because this was the day on which he lost his little Princess.
Every year he would get drunk and mourn her absence.
Everything he loves is the one he hates too.
He loves Basketball but he hates it because it was the reason why he lost his Princess.
He loves Kids but he hates them because every one of them makes him remember the kid he killed (that's what he tells).
He loves his sister, he hates it that every time he sees her he could hear an illusionary voice crying to him " If I were your sister, would you have left?" He couldn't answer the voice, so he avoided spending time with his sister.
After a long shower, he dressed up in his workout clothes and drove to his training place.
He didn't feel the days moving, it was already Monday and in the evening he is flying to the town.
IN MELLINA'S HOME,
" Sindhu, have you packed all your stuff?" Shivaraman asked entering Sindhu's room.
" Yes, Appa! All done!" She smiled and hugged her father.
" You don't love me, Amy!" Her mother fake cried.
" Amma! Come here" She hugged her mother.
" You are such a drama queen!" Sindhu said with a chuckle.
" And we are left out!" Angel said her hands on her hip.
" Aww, baby! Come here, how can I forget my babies? Especially sweet heart Mel? However, I will see you guys after a week but them, it will take months to see them again."
" Yeah, yeah. Special Mel! I am Angel only by name but she is everyone's Angel!" Angel said with a huff.
Everyone laughed at her antics.
" You are my only Angel, Angel Felicia!" Mellina hugged her and kissed her hair.
" Are you sure, you three? Do you want to move out? At least Angel could be here?" Their mother cried.
" Mom, please don't cry! You know right? It's time for us to come out of the shell and shine!"
