My last love

maya vs ranbir

Maya controls her emotions and walks away. She is heading toward the bar counter when she accidentally bumps into someone. Without looking, she says, "I am so sorry."

Standing in front of her is Ranbir Raichand. The moment Maya sees him, a wave of anger flashes in her eyes, but right now, she has no choice but to control herself.

Ranbir, looking at her with deep eyes, smirks and says, "You are so beautiful, Miss. And I can say you are like a princess."

Maya rolls her eyes, meeting his gaze, and replies, "Beautiful? Well, I was born that way. Now, please step aside. I don’t have time for useless conversations."

"Just two minutes. Answer one question, and you can leave. May I ask?" Ranbir stops her, looking amused.

Maya, expressionless, says, "If you have something to say, say it fast."

"Who are you? I’m seeing you for the first time. Do you have a special connection with the Raichands?" Ranbir asks, scanning her.

Without changing her expression, Maya responds, "Mr. Ranbir Raichand, you are seeing me for the first time because I am allowing you to. No one can see me or touch me without my permission. And as for who I am—I am Advocate Mahira Srivastava. My connection with the Raichands is deep… and very old."

Ranbir smirks, locking eyes with her, "Your answers are quite twisted."

Maya, now irritated beyond limits, glares at him and says, "That’s because your questions aren’t straight. Useless questions never get direct answers, Mr. Raichand. And as for my presence here, I was invited. Who wouldn't want to attend a Raichand party? Now move. I have better things to do. You have already wasted enough of my time. Now, please excuse me."

Saying this, Maya walks to the bar counter. Ranbir, lost in his thoughts, murmurs to himself, "She is fire... Mahira Srivastava. Uff, those red eyes are deadly. But why so much anger, Angry Bird? But... anger suits you."

Maya reaches the bar counter and tells the waiter, "Make a soft drink, but not orange-flavored." The waiter nods and hands her the drink. She takes a sip and starts observing the atmosphere around her. As she scans the crowd, her gaze lands on Ashok Raichand. Her fists clench tightly, and her reddish-brown eyes turn even redder with fury.

Glaring at Ashok Raichand, Maya mutters under her breath, "The game is on, AR."

Meanwhile...

Ridhhan enters the party. The moment Malini Raichand sees him, a fake smile appears on her face, while Vandana Ji looks genuinely happy to see her grandson.

Ignoring everyone, Ridhhan walks straight to Vandana Ji, who gets emotional and says, "You took too long to visit your grandmother. I thought you would only return after I was gone. You made me wait for too long."

Holding her face in his hands, ridhhan smiles and says, "As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to you. And as for my return… I’m here now. With you. I won’t leave you with these greedy people. I have many scores to settle… including with the one who forgot me while I was still alive."

Vandana Ji doesn’t understand his last words, but she simply smiles, choosing not to ask further.

"Stay here. I have some unfinished business with those greedy people." Saying this, Ridhhan walks toward Malini Raichand and gives her a side hug.

Malini squints her eyes at him and says, "I told you to wear white. Why didn’t you?"

Ridhhan looks at her blankly and replies, "I do what I want. I wear what I like. If anyone has a problem with that, they can simply close their eyes."

Malini’s face turns red with anger, but she remains composed. Just then, Netra arrives.

Before Malini can say anything, Ashok Raichand calls her, and she immediately leaves, not wanting to hear more of ridhhan's bitter words.

Netra, excited, moves forward to hug Ridhhan, but as she reaches out, he steps back. Her hands freeze in mid-air.

Seeing this, Aditya bursts into laughter but quickly realizes his mistake and mumbles a quick "Sorry" before rushing away.

Netra feels humiliated—after all, she loves Ridhhan.

Trying to brush it off, she smiles and says, "ridhhan, you know how happy I am! Aunty said she will talk about our marriage. I’m glad that our childhood friendship will soon turn into a husband-wife relationship."

Bored, Ridhhan says in a monotone voice, "Are you done? Or do you have more to say? Who told you I would marry you? What do you even have that would make me choose you? I never considered you my friend before, and I certainly don’t now. And as for marriage… there’s no chance. So, do yourself a favor and don’t show me your face again. Otherwise, I don’t know what I might do."

Netra's eyes burn red with anger as she storms away.

Maya, lost in thought, notices a girl standing beside her, angrily telling the bartender, "Make me a drink!"

The girl mutters furiously, "Who does this Ridhhan Raichand think he is? Just because he’s handsome, he can do anything? How dare he reject me? He rejected Netra Mehra?! I swear, I won’t let him go so easily. He will regret this!"

Maya gives her a strange look and thinks to herself, "People in this world want everything to come easy. And when they don’t get what they want, they try to take it by force—be it love… or revenge."

Suddenly...

A deep, attractive voice echoes through the hall, grabbing everyone's attention. The entire crowd turns toward the stage. Women, especially, look at the speaker with lust-filled eyes.

The voice speaks again, "I’m Ridhann Raichand. I have an announcement to make."

The guests listen attentively.

"This party was organized to celebrate my brother Ranbir Raichand’s happiness. But I have something even bigger to give him.

So, here it is—I, Ridhhan Raichand, am reclaiming my 70% shares in this company. From today, I am the sole boss of Raichand’s branch. If you have any deals or business with Raichand’s empire… you will deal with me. Because… I AM THE OWNER.""

His voice emphasizes the last words, making it clear that he is in charge.

---

Ashok Raichand’s veins throb with fury. Turning to Malini, he seethes, "What the hell is he trying to do? Since when did he develop an interest in business? If he did this today, he will take over all the branches. We need to do something. I refuse to live like a beggar!"

Malini, trying to calm him, says, "Calm down. The party is full of people. If you confront him here, he will retaliate, and you know how dangerous his temper is."

Meanwhile, Ridhhan stands in the distance, watching Ashok Raichand with an evil smirk. He thinks to himself, "Greed… let’s see how far it takes you, Ashok Raichand."

Ridhhan steps off the stage and leans against a corner when a man approaches him.

"Something is not right here," the man says. "Many of your rivals are present. But the biggest one… is going to be Netra Mehra."

Unbothered, Ridhhan smirks and replies, "Chill, Naksh Singhania. People want to defeat Ridhann Raichand, but they forget—I am the king of this market."

Naksh, in a low voice, says, "Sir, I am your assistant. It’s my duty to keep you informed."

Ridhann grins, "I know everything. Now relax and let me enjoy this party."

Suddenly, a mischievous idea sparks in Ridhhan's mind. He rushes back to the stage, grabs the mic, and announces, "This party is getting boring! Let’s have a dance! Ladies, pick your partners. But here’s the catch—only the ladies get to choose, not the men."

The moment he says this, all the women rush toward him.

But Ridhhan’s eyes? They are locked onto one person… standing alone in the corner.

And a smirk plays on his lips.
