Tangled hearts in love

Chapter 5 - Personal Assistant?

Everyone was astonished by the statement made by Riddhima. Her mouth said his name after 13 years. Vihaan was crowned mafia head in Mumbai at the age of fourteen. A youngster becoming a mafia leader shocked the whole Indian underworld. For two years, he was in charge of the Mumbai mafia. He managed the mafia in those two years in such a way that the entire nation gawked in amazement. The development of the young mafia leader astounded the whole criminal world.

Currently, some claim Vihaan is in charge of the mafia underground in the US. Some claim he is not still alive. He's gone. Few people inform him that by evading the mafia, he is leading a regular life.

For 13 years, Vansh looked for his twin brother Vihaan. As of now, he still has hope that he can somehow restore Vihaan Raisinghania's position as Mumbai's top mafia figure. When Riddhima revealed his name to them, he felt hopeful that he would soon see his brother.

Vansh approached Riddhima, who was bowed down. "Have you met my brother?" he asked as he knelt in front of her.

"Yes, before 13 years," she added, "He's a dear friend of mine."

Mr. Mahendra Pratap grabbed the back of her neck and yelled, "Lie, we need proof!"

Riddhima arched her back owing to the agony in her neck caused by Mr. Mahendra Pratap. Vansh gripped Pratap's wrist and pushed him away from Riddhima.

"Riddhima, are you okay?" he inquired, concerned.

The gun was pointed at Riddhima and Vansh by Mr. Pratap and Kabir's men. Riddhima was terrified, but Vansh seemed unfazed by the pistol and reached inside his shirt pocket for something. Everyone assumed it was a firearm.

But it was a key, which he withdrew from his pocket to unlock Riddhima's handcuffs. He untied her handcuffs and ordered her to stand.

"It's pointless pointing the gun at me. I want to see my brother again. I'll give you five minutes now, Riddhima. You must prove to me that you have met Vihaan," Vansh stated, scanning his wristwatch.

She hurriedly approached her uncle Rishab and took the phone from his pocket. She called her Shankar uncle and requested that the photographs of Vihaan and Riddhima together be sent to her. Shankar mailed the photographs to her.

Everyone looked at the images, which were taken over 13 years ago. Looking at images, Mr. Mahendra Pratap said, "Nowadays photos can be morphed. This proof will not be accepted."

"I also have a copy of some images of Riddhima and Vihaan with me, Riddhima is being honest." Vansh whimpered.

Vansh was nostalgically glancing at the photo. Yes, his childhood was lovely thanks to his brother, Riddhima, and her siblings.

"However, it is taken before the age of 13. I need a recent photograph of Vihaan with you," Mr. Mahendra Pratap added, a devious smirk on his face.

"I'm not in contact with Vihaan right now. But Vihaan had warned me 13 years previously that he would return to Mumbai to rule the whole mafia world." Riddhima stated unequivocally.

"What is the point of living a clandestine existence for 13 years?" Kabir wondered.

"He wanted to learn more about the world. So he lives his life by hiding himself from his family, friends, relatives, and society," Riddhima replied.

"Enough of Vihaan myths; now let us return to the present. Riddhima ought to be punished for deceiving me. Allow Riddhima's wedding invitation to reach every part of the mafia world. Riddhima must marry the highest-bidding mafia guy." Kabir .mocked.

"I don't know how many times I want to tell everyone. I'm not going to marry another mafia man. I will only marry Vihaan," Riddhima fumed, staring at the mafia members.

Many individuals in the crowd were staring at her. Vansh was perplexed by this girl's actions; he wanted to know everything about Riddhima.

"I think that Riddhima deserves to be punished. However, I will not support this form of punishment. She will serve as my assistant until I find my brother." Vansh screamed at Kabir to stop talking. Riddhima received a ten thousand volt electric jolt as a result of his comments.

The audience did not object to his suggestion. If they had the fortitude to reject his proposal, their body would be buried on the VR mansion grounds. Everyone left the location. Mr. Pratap, on the other hand, was seething.

Angre escorted Riddhima to another chamber in the VR house. Vansh walked in and sat in the king-size rolling chair. She couldn't take his calm and smirking any longer and exploded like a cracker.

"Who are you to make decisions about my future? As a medical student, I couldn't possibly work as your assistant." Riddhima exhaled as she stood in front of Vansh.

Vansh rose and approached Riddhima. He gripped her right wrist and spun her hand behind her back. There are only a few millimeters between them. Riddhima was struggling to breathe.

"From now on, I am your boss," he yelled into her ears and continued by taking a deep breath, " So I have complete authority over your future. You'll marry my brother soon once he finishes his world tour. As a result, I will teach you all legal and illegal professional skills. Do you get it?"

She attempted to break free from his grip, but it was impossible in front of his colossal statue. After she said yes, he quickly let go of her hand. Her wrist had gone crimson, so she checked it.

Her mind advised her to accept his predicament. If she works as his assistant, she will learn about all of his activities. Then it will be simple for her to release the pair from jail. She began to calm down in front of him and was prepared to listen to his remarks.

"I understand you are a medical student. So, once you finish your classes, please come straight to my office. You'll be working the night shift till 1 a.m. You don't have to be concerned about your security at night. My bodyguards will drop you off. " Vansh spoke firmly into her eyes.

"However, it is midnight for me. I have a habit of going to bed around 9 p.m. Please consider this, I am a medical student who wants to learn every day. I couldn't be a good doctor if I didn't study every day." She pretended to cry in front of him. When he saw her in tears, he thought to himself, "DRAMA QUEEN!!!"

"All well, then you don't have to work in my office. Instead, I shall give you over to Mr. Pratap and Kabir, who are looking forward to your wedding. So marry a mafia man who bids the highest price for you and live happily ever after." Vansh elaborated.

"Tell me when I should join your office," Riddhima asked in defeat.

He grinned and told her about being punctual and obedient at work. She simply nodded her head in agreement.

He said in his final words, "Don't tell any lies to me, I despise it when people deceive me. You will begin working as my assistant in my office tomorrow. If you have any questions, ask me."

"I have two qualms. My first query was, When do I get a vacation or holiday in a week?" she inquired, immediately looking at his bodyguard. Riddhima noted his bodyguard's reaction, while Angre and Reyansh only chuckled to themselves as they stared at the floor.

"Are you a student? You're pleading for a holiday like a tiny child. We do not administer any institution or organization that allows you to take holidays. Anytime we may be in danger, we're in the mafia. So, No holidays. Ask your second question." He chastised her.

"May I please know your name?" she inquired, a little grin on her face.

Angre and Reyansh couldn't figure out who this girl was. For a split second, they both glanced at each other.

Reyansh murmured in Angre's ear, "This girl is fully aware of Vihaan, however, she is unaware of our boss. I believe she will play a big role in the VR mansion. She's completely unpredictable!"

Vansh heard Reyansh's words but said nothing to him. "I saved your life in that fire, and you didn't bother to search for my name," Vansh mumbled as he adjusted his blazers.

"Ahana di informed me about your bravery and accomplishments in the mafia. But she didn't give me your name. So I'm simply asking you now." Riddhima said.

"My name is Vansh Raisinghania," Vansh responded to Riddhima. Riddhima just nodded.

"My bodyguards will deliver you to your home. You may now depart." He said, and she walked away. Vansh requested Reyansh and Angre to stay when they were ready to depart.

"I heard what you were saying, Reyansh. Your mental perceptions are right. But the fact is that she is unaware of my existence. When I was 12, I moved to London to further my education. I don't recall spending any time with her." Vansh said.

“Boss, But childhood photographs..." Angre inquired, his voice trembling.

"That's my problem; do you have any other questions?" Vansh said, glaring at his bodyguards.

Riddhima entered her residence and was surprised to discover her Mayuri aunt sobbing. Rishab comforted her. When they spotted Riddhima, they both gave her a disgusted expression.

She observed someone dressed in bridal gowns standing at the window. Only the rear view of the individual was visible. She brushed against the girl's shoulders and discovered she was Ahana. She saw Ahana's neck was adorned with a wedding necklace.

Riddhima couldn't stand seeing Ahana's wedding necklace around her neck. She began to hate herself for the mistake she had made in Ahana's life. She began to weep.

Her aunt slapped Riddhima on the cheeks before she could say anything. "My daughter's life would have been saved if you hadn't escaped from your wedding," Mayuri screamed again, ready to smack, but Ahana grabbed her mother's hand.

“Mom, Why do you blame her? Why did you accept money from Kabir's family? My marriage with Kabir would not have happened if you had not accepted Riddhima's marriage proposal to Kabir. I helped her flee. I agree, but we might have avoided this by returning the advance money, but my father has spent it all on gambling. So Kabir took advantage of the situation and married me. You don't know that he proposed to me on the same day he came to visit Riddhima with his family at our house," Ahana raged at her mother.

"After serving coffee to everyone, I returned to the kitchen and observed Kabir following me," Ahana stated and told, " I inquired if he wanted anything, but he said he wanted me. He told me I was more attractive than Riddhima before I could dispute it. I became envious after only a few minutes of conversing with him. Riddhima didn't seem to like Kabir. So I whacked Riddhima on the head with a steel bottle, threw her in the trunk, and married Kabir."

"But he is a womanizer and an alcoholic," Riddhima cautioned, and Ahana assured her that she could change his attitude and conduct. Ahana also instructed her mother and father not to scold or penalize Riddhima.

After five minutes, a car horn sound was heard outside Malhotra's house, prompting Mayuri to open the door and reveal that Kabir had arrived with his family members to take Ahana with him.

He didn't say anything when his mother approached Ahana and said, "You pick whether you want to come with us or stay with your

family."

"Mom, why are you giving my maid a choice? She has no right to make decisions in her life. The Water clan has betrayed us, and Ahana will pay the price. " sneered Kabir.

He grabbed Ahana's wrist and tugged her towards the car. Riddhima entered her small room and began sobbing loudly.

She became aware of her phone's vibration. She answered the phone right away and informed her Shankar uncle about all that happened.

Shankar consoled her, saying, "Riddhima, We must now consider Vihaan's mother and father. You did an excellent job of fleeing your marriage and ending yourself in a VR house. We have a chance to help the pair escape from the prison. Use it correctly."

After speaking with her uncle, she splashed water on her face and gazed in the mirror, swearing to herself that she will save the marriage.

After finishing her medical lessons, Riddhima headed to Vansh's office. Angre greeted her and led her to Vansh's hut. Vansh intended to put her attitude and character to the test. So he told Angre about his intentions.

"Riddhima, the boss is engaged in his meeting, therefore he has asked nobody to enter inside his cabin for a few hours," Angre explained and told,”Please don't let anyone into the boss's cabin since I have some job to complete. You are fully aware of his rage, so act appropriately."

Riddhima's first hour in Vansh's office was not tough. Few individuals tried to enter his cabin, but she explained respectfully to them with a smile on her face, which resulted in success since they comprehended her words and did not try to enter.

However, when a lady about the age of 25 approached Vansh's cabin wearing a blue high heels shoe, Riddhima began to study her from head to toe. Her face was shining as a result of a three-layer covering of compact powder; she couldn't look at her face any longer, so she examined her clothing.

She was dressed to the knees in a light blue satin off-the-shoulder slit contemporary gown. She donned royal jewelry and accessories. Riddhima determined from her examination that this girl is not suitable for any professional meeting. She made a snapping motion in front of Riddhima. As Riddhima stood in her way.

"Madam, please take a seat in the nearby conference room. My boss is in the middle of a meeting with one of his clients. Therefore, he had rigorously forbidden anybody from entering." She politely asked for her. But the lady looked at her as if she were a disgusting creature.

"Listen You scumbag, I need to meet Vansh right away." Said the lady as she reached for the doorknob.

"Mam, please realize that you cannot enter inside," Riddhima said, standing in front of her face to face, covering the knob.

"How dare you stand before me, you slave staff? Do you know me? Do you know who my father is? Do you know how I'm linked to Vansh?" yelled the lady. The individuals on that floor felt sorry for her. Riddhima was humiliated.

Riddhima said, gritting her teeth in rage, "Really, I don't know about you, your father, or how you are linked to the boss, You are not India's first female president or prime minister. I didn't learn about you from any GK book. I would have known about you if you had been president, prime minister, or even collector of this area. So, as I learn more about you, I will let you into the cabin. Now, hurry up and become a well-known figure, and I will invite you to meet my boss. This offer will expire soon. So hurry up."

The lady became enraged and lifted her hand to slap Riddhima. Riddhima pressed her eyelid shut. But the lady didn't smack Riddhima, her hand remained lifted.

Riddhima opened her eyes and found the lady standing like a statue in front of her. Still, her hands were lifted in the air, and Riddhima realized her eyes were not looking at her, but rather at something behind her. She looked around and realized Vansh's cabin door was open. With furious eyes, Vansh stood behind Riddhima.

Riddhima was standing between Vansh and the lady, witnessing his aggressively observing the lady. Riddhima deduced from this that this man had observed her actions on the CCTV camera

.

"Ragini, what are you doing in front of my cabin?" Vansh inquired.

Who is Ragini? How is she related to Vansh?
