"Aye, my friend." Lexi said as she saw Mishti coming in the room. She opened her arms asking a friendly hug from Mishti.
"Hey." After greeting lexi with tge same energy, she hugged their friends who sat in a circle while discussing something. There were five of them, including mishti.
"So, how's it going, mishti ? Any progress?" Lexi asked.
"Who mishti?" Mishti asked smirking.
"Oh, stupid me." Lexi hit her own forehead as her smile widen which soon converted into a smirk. "How's it going, tejasswi? "
"Now its right." Mishti, who in real was Tejasswi, smirked. She sat with her fellow mates as she looked at the poster of The Kundrra's grave.
The pictures of Karan, Ritwik, their mother and their father were sticked. "Its going as per plan, Alina. " She replied as she looked at the four pictures.
"Take it, tejasswi." Edward, one of the other three present in room, said as he offered her a drink. Muttering a thanks to him, she accepted the drink.
"I'm on my way to be in his good books. " tejasswi said sipping in her drink as her other hand traced the picture of Karan. "In a week, i will have access to his room and will win his trust. Then, we will step in Plan B."
"Good to know! But you'll have to hurry up. Right now, he has discarded his security. Its a good time to execute plan B. " Edward spoke.
"Yeah, he's right. " lexi agreed to him. "We gotta execute our plan as soon as possible."
"But, are we sure that karan was also involved in this fiasco?" Tejasswi spoke , her gaze not leaving karan's picture.
Yesterday what she saw, created a doubt in her mind. Why would Karan hate his mother and Ritwik? He's their blood, their partner. Then why?
"Are you starting to develop feelings for him? Over a night?" Edward asked gritting his teeth. His hold on the glass suddenly tightened.
"And who exactly told you about it?" Tejasswi asked narrowing her eye brows at him. Finding his behaviour unexpected. She then looked at Alina who gave an innocent look as she looked at the brown fans spinning in the full speed.
She sighed. "Its not like what you think, Edward. I mean last night he was all sh--"she was about to blurt out how shattered Karan was last night, after meeting the guests but then she reminded that its his privacy. She was no one to him. "All the time i have been with him, i did not suspect anything. He, infact, loathe Miranda and that shit-Ritwik. "
"He's a clever mind, tejasswi. You know how he could track that Ritwik everytime, when we could not." Alina spoke.
"Relax. I was just confirming it. Its not like i am defending him. He's gotta reap what he sowed." Tejasswi exclaimed sipping the last of her wine.
"Let's discuss on our next step now."

Mishti/tejasswi's pov.
The day me and karan met, in the cafe, was not really the first time i saw him. I was stalking him for 6 months. A year back Alina entered his mansion as a maid who wanted to study but was in a finacial crisis. She had changed her name to Lexi.
She tried to know the secrets of Karan but was failing due to the cold behaviour of Karan. Everytime she tried to enter his room or his personal office, somebody or the other would track her and warn her to never put her feet inside the two rooms. She was getting frustrated as she never failed to charm others but Karan seemed a tough nut to crack.
And that's when i came in the drama. After stalking him, i got to know what type of girls he like. Feisty and independent. Responsible and soft. A tough nut like him.
I also found out that he had many chains of hotels and Bars where he would often go to examine the progress. We tried a bar girl to seduce him and get him drunk so much that he will get wasted. But the man had a brilliant capacity. After drinking a bottle of alcohal, he would still be sober. I got to know many things about him before meeting him in the cafe.
I knew he would come there because from past ten days, the media was all over him. And why not? It was us who had paid the media to record him. And they happily agreed to pap the young billionaire. He came there because he knew the media can't think of hin spotting in a three star cafe.
As he entered the cafe, i started my plan. I knew he is an observant and thus i created a situation where he would feel guilty. In india, the blame of checking out girls is a big thing. And especially for gentlemen. I know he's not one of those who treat the girls as dust.
But the fact that he's innocent all his life is also not true. He's a monster. A devil. A satan. He looks calm but has the power to destroy the world. He seems patient but has the fire in him.
He is not what he really looks like. He's worst.
When he dragged me from the table, i was smirking inside. By the time we're busy, one of our men examined his file to get any clue. But it was insignificant. I acted all the qualities that he liked to see.
And Then the next day, he came to meet me again. Even at the interview day, i was fully aware that it was Him. Showing him attitude was also scripted.
His bedroom and office had a lock and the entry was accessible only to specific people that in current were Karan himself and Raya. The locks were controlled by a remote. And soon i would be one of them as well.
Everything was going as per plan. What i did not expected was, the previous night. The vulnerablilty i saw in his eyes could not be a lie. The fact that he was broken can not be ignored. But the deeds he did was also true.
Right now as my team is discussing the next plan, i am busy thinking about him. How he is trusting me. How he is caring for me.
I look at my injured hand which he put the bandaid on. Confusion is all over me.
"Excuse me, Guys." I stood up and walked to a wall. That had all the pictures of me. And the Real Mishti. We were not birth related but in the darkest hour of my life, she and her mother came as an angel. They made me.
If i am successful and dependent it was because of them. Suddenly i felt nostaligic. The images of them , smiling and laughing at the way i was excited to get the new frock for the first time or whenver i curled up due to fear while watching the horror movie, flashed.
How good those days were!
Until that demon came and ruined.
The images of their faces, drained red with blood, the broken limbs and the deep cut in their neck invaded my mind.
"Don't cry baby." I heard alina as she took me in a hug after wiping my tears. It was then i noticed i was crying.
"We'll take the revenge. You will take the revenge. For them. You will." She said making me remember why it all started.
And the only aim that i now have is, To take the revenge.
He's gonna pay for it. They're gonna pay for it.
