Hello everyone ♡

This is my very first story, and I'm really excited (and nervous) to share it with you all. English is not my first language, so there might be a few grammatical mistakes here and there.

I hope you'll support my journey and enjoy Daksh and Aarohi's story as much as I enjoy writing it.

Happy reading ✨

Daksh POV:

"Papa, did you see that?"

Dad finally looked up from his phone.

Yes, Daksh. Nice colour.

It's not about colour, Dad. "Look at the engine, its latest model Dad".

I want that bike - I said excitedly.

The orange KTM bike roared near the signal, loud enough to capture the attention of all the people, including us.

Dad just smiled softly which is rare nowadays.

"Complete your graduation, and I will buy you one".

Oh God, I can't wait for 3 years for the bike but it's worth waiting for this bike, I said to myself.

We got back to our early conversation about his work and security and his busy schedules when the car stopped suddenly with a jerk.

"What happened?" Dad asked the driver

"Maybe anyone..."

Before he could complete, the same orange KTM bike came near the window next to my father.

My heart just stopped...

Two gunshots

Bang

Bang....

Within seconds "My world went blank"

Dad collapsed next to me.

With my trembling hands, I grabbed and shook him in the hope that he might respond.

"Bloo.... Blood..."

"Papaaaaaaaaaaa...."

I woke up with a jerk.

Even after 10 years, this nightmare never stopped haunting me.

I was still in that nightmare, when my phone buzz made me distracted and I reached out for my phone.

Unknown number:

"Hey Daksh, did you forget the orange KTM?

How are you my boy?"

My grip on the phone became tight immediately and I wanted to break this phone for a second.

"But, no...."

I want to find that bloody bastard who is playing with me.

I headed straight to my gym, to vent out all my frustration ,and anger on my dumbbells.

Aarohi POV:

"Oh God...! Where is my other earring?"

I was desperately searching for my lucky earrings to wear for my first day.

"Aarohi beta, come for breakfast, you will be late...." Mama shouted from the kitchen.

Yeah, finally I got my earring.

I went straight to the dining table when the fresh aloo paratha and chai smell filled the house.

I finished my breakfast in a hurry and rushed down to the apartment for a cab as I didn't want to be late on my first day.

After a lot of struggle, I got a cab.

Getting selected into the Matrix Intelligence Agency felt unreal.

The company had a great reputation for its work culture and high salaries.

Even the salary hike shocked me but what made me happy is that now I can help my brother with his MS dream in the USA.

Finally reached the office entrance.

After I completed my joining formalities at the reception I was guided to the 15th floor to meet Karan Khanna, the COO of the company.

Karan briefly explained the ongoing issues with the company before taking me to meet the CEO.

His friendly nature helped me to calm my nervousness.

After a few minutes, we were on the 15th floor in front of the CEO's cabin.

Karan knocked twice.

"I heard a cold, authoritative voice - come in".

Karan entered the room, and I followed him quietly.

But the moment I saw the man sitting before me-

My breath stopped.

"What is he doing here?"

"Is he the CEO?"

After sensing our presence, he lifted his gaze from the laptop.

His expressions turned cold.

"You ....!?"
