Varun began to feel nervous and suffocated under Vidyut's expressionless gaze. After a while, Varun's legs started trembling unconsciously.
Vidyut was looking at Varun as if he wasn't human.
Taking long drags from his cigar, Vidyut continued to stare at Varun unblinkingly.
His deep blue eyes were like a walking ocean—endless in beauty, depth, and hidden mysteries.
With each passing second, Varun's nervousness grew. His handsome face gradually turned pale with anxiety.
Vidyut's gaze was fixed on Varun as if he were examining someone's sins and virtues after death, like Yama.
Under Vidyut's magnifying glass-like gaze, Varun began to recall all his wrongdoings and sins.
Finally, after recalling all his misdeeds, Varun remembered the sin that likely made Vidyut look at him so terrifyingly.
Clenching his fists, Varun swallowed hard. Just one look from Vidyut, even from childhood to now, was enough to make Varun's soul recall all his sins.
When Varun tried to open his lips to speak, he realized his lips were stuck together like they were glued. He couldn't part them even if he wanted to.
After a whole hour had passed, Vidyut calmly took his eyes off Varun. By now, Varun's face and entire body were drenched in cold sweat.
After smashing the butt of his last cigar into the ashtray, Vidyut looked at Varun again. His thin lips were slightly parted, and light smoke was escaping from between them.
The mysterious smoke from his cigar lingered around him, making his stunning look horrifying.
Placing his fingers one by one on the work desk, Vidyut said in a slow, cold tone, "You are alive because you are my brother. If anyone else had even looked at my wife with wrong intentions, their head would be hanging in the middle of Mumbai city."
Vidyut's voice was soft, but his words sent goosebumps all over Varun's body. Accepting his sin, Varun bowed his head like a criminal.
Varun's greatest sin was proposing to Maya. Even though he thought Maya was going to divorce Vidyut.
But when he confessed his feelings to Maya, she was still his elder brother's wife. Proposing to his elder brother's wife felt wrong to Varun himself, but the dangerous word 'attraction' had clouded his judgment at that time.
Elegantly moving his revolving chair left and right, Vidyut continued in the same attractive, cold tone, "Mr. Kapoor told me last night that you are a child, and your mind was wandering. I hope what he said is true. From now on, stay within your limits."
Vidyut's reference to Mr. Kapoor was actually to his grandfather. It was his grandfather who had called Vidyut last night.
Hearing Vidyut mention his grandfather, Varun mustered all his courage to look up at Vidyut. At that moment, Vidyut calmly said to him, "Go home, Varun! Go home and rest for a few days."
"Yes, elder brother."
With Vidyut's permission to leave, Varun felt a sense of relief.
Varun stood up from his chair and walked straight out of the study room.
After coming out, Varun felt something wet near his nose.
When he touched near his nose, he realized that due to extreme nervousness and anxiety, he had started nose bleeding.
Seeing the blood on his finger didn't surprise Varun much.
In the past, Varun had fainted several times due to Vidyut's suffocating gaze, so this nosebleed was no big deal for him.
Varun didn't stay in the villa for even a second longer. He went straight out of the villa and headed to the airport, as Vidyut had instructed, to go back home to India and rest.
Meanwhile,
Arya Mansion,
Natasha was getting ready in front of the mirror in her room, a never-ending proud smile on her face.
Zara was also in the room, helping Natasha get ready with a smug smile.
Today was the company board meeting. Today, the new president of Dream Emperor and the next heir of the Arya family would be chosen.
As expected, Natasha and Zara had already impressed all the board members and shareholders.
Almost all the company's higher executives were in favor of Natasha, and they were all going to vote for her today. That's why Natasha and Zara were very happy today.
After getting ready, Natasha turned to her mom.
As Natasha turned, Zara looked at her daughter with a loving gaze from head to toe.
Natasha was wearing a white luxurious business suit and black heels. Her small face had light, expensive makeup, mixed with expressions of confidence and innocence.
But her beautiful eyes were filled with a bit of nervousness and confusion.
Zara lovingly stroked Natasha's head and said, "You look very beautiful, Nat! Today, you will be the center of attraction in the company. No matter what, don't lose your elegance and calmness."
Hearing her mom's compliment, Natasha nodded her head without saying anything, looking a bit lost.
Seeing her daughter's cold reaction, Zara's eyebrows knitted together. She placed her hand on Natasha's cheek and asked, "Is there something wrong, Nat? Since you returned from the pool party, you've seemed a bit lost. Did someone say something to you? Is there something bothering you?"
Hearing her mom's question, Natasha frowned but quickly corrected her expression and said, "Mom! I was just thinking about Maya. What do you think, Mom? Is she really in a relationship with Vidyut Singhania?"
At the mention of Maya, hatred flashed in Zara's eyes.
Responding to Natasha with a sarcastic smile, Zara said, "Nat! Don't think too much about it. Things were different before, but now Maya has nothing. She has no strong background or identity. Even if Vidyut Singhania is in a relationship with her now, it doesn't matter. He will never marry Maya. Anyway, Maya is very naive and foolish. Vidyut Singhania will play with her for a few days, and when he gets bored, he'll discard her like trash. Don't worry about it. Maya's end will be dreadful. Just wait and watch."
Despite hearing her mom's words, the confusion on Natasha's face didn't change much.
After thinking for a moment, Natasha asked Zara, "Mom! What if Vidyut Singhania actually marries Maya? You know what kind of person he is. If he takes revenge on us for Maya, what will we do?"
Hearing Natasha's question, worry lines appeared on Zara's forehead.
It was unnecessary to mention what happened to Vidyut Singhania's opponents if he sought revenge.
However, the worry lines on Zara's face didn't last long.
Remembering the old enmity between the Arya and Singhania families, Zara's eyes gleamed shrewdly.
With a confident smile, Zara said, "Nat! Don't think too much. I'm 100% sure Vidyut Singhania is just playing with Maya. He will never marry her."
Hearing her mom's words, Natasha stopped thinking further on that topic. She trusted her mom's words.
Before leaving, Natasha asked Zara, "Mom! When is Dad coming back?"
The day Maya arrived in London, Mr. Rudra had left the country for work. He had no idea what had happened in the family with Maya during this time.
In response to Natasha's question, Zara said, "You go to the company, Nat! Your dad will also be there in a while. You can meet him there."
Hearing her mom's reply, Natasha said okay and left.
Dream Emperor,
