"I don't trust you dhruv, I know she didn't do this!" I shouted pushing the phone away which had one picture, one single picture of my Akshara with another man, on one bed. No she didn't do this! I know she didn't.
"YOU are fucking dumb ruhaan! Can't you see the damn picture?! SHE FUCKING CHEATED ON YOU!"
Dhruv screamed at my face. Shaking me by the shoulders, hoping to knock some sense into me, but no, I don't believe this.
"NO, I don't believe this! Akshu would never cheat on me! Never!"
I said, sitting on the bed hoping whatever dhruv has showed me isn't true, I face palmed my self trying to reciprocate everything when suddenly my phone chimed with a notification
I looked up and saw one single text-
______________________________________
Akshu❤️
"I did."

A gush of wind blew up on me as I gasped for air, waking up from my nightmare. This was a ritual by now, the same incident from 2 years ago, always haunting me in my dreams. I got up, wiped the sweat of my face only to find out my whole t shirt is wet. I sighed as I picked up my phone to check the time, only to find 17 missed calls from dhruv, for context he is my bestfriend since college and now my manager in the law firm.
I called him again almost immediately, "what?" I said annoyed at my usual horrible morning rubbing my head.
"WE have a really fucked up case and it's somehow connected to the Oberoi's!" Dhruv said in a panicked voice.
The last word, the last word was stuck in my brain before I could even form an answer....Oberoi. There are many Oberoi's not only her, but then why would Dhruv tell Me about it?
"Tell the lawyers, I don't care about a mere case, I own the law firm, I'm not a lawyer" I kept the phone and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, only that fixes me after a shitty morning.

My favorite song played in my ears as I ran on the treadmill and suddenly my headphones died,
*THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP* *THIMP* *THUMP* *THUMP*
That was the sound of me running, I thought I sounded soft and not like a freaking earthquake making it's way to the city!
I stepped off the treadmill, wiping my face with the towel as I went to change my clothes in the changing room.
Well hey! I'm Akshara, Akshara Oberoi. And this is my morning gym session which I LOVE! Gym is peace for me to be honest.
It's like a fresh cup of coffee before my hectic day at work, I still need my daily cup of coffee tho.
"AKSHU!!!!! NICHE AA JALDI!!!"
Aur ye Hai meri matashree, Jo ab mujhe breakfast kiye Bina office nhi jaane dengi, iseliye me gym se Ghar 3 ghante baad aati hu.
"Aayiiii mumma!!!!" I shouted as I ran down the stairs going to the kitchen as fast as I could
"YOU won't leave untill you have your breakfast Akshara Oberoi!"
Mumma said looking at me sternly with a belan in her hand. Yep she is threatening a company owner with a belan...Well she is a mom afterall...so yeah.
Full name has been taken that means I gotta sit and obey.

Ruhaan's pov
I walked in to my office immediately getting to work. After a good while dhruv walks in all grumpy, yeah he gets this way when I behave rude to him, typical Dhruv.
"Knock before you come in." I said not even looking up at him.
But this time Dhruv didn't give me any attitude, he just sat nervously in front of me holding a file, which he slid on the table slowly towards me with shaky hands.
He is never like this, well that makes me curious to know what that file contains.
"What is it-"
"Sir there is an emergency, Radhika maam is hurt"
I was interrupted by my PA, as I got up immediately when he said so,
"Where IS she?" I said walking towards him
"Maam is at home with the staff"
He said moving out of my way as I walked towards my car immediately to drive to my parents home,
Yeah i lived alone. I can't handle family and their lovey dovey fake shit.
I drove home and then realized I left the file on my desk and didn't even talk to dhruv. Well I am curious but that is something for later. I need to get to mom first.
I got home and parked my car in driveway rushing towards the staff gathered around the sofa as I pushed past them getting to mom
As she layed on the sofa with her one leg bandaged.
"Kya hua inhe?" I asked the staff not even looking at Ms Radhika, yeah my mother.
She left me and my dad when I was 7, I saw her leave with her boyfriend with all her life packed in some suitcases leaving me and dad behind to deal with our shit. Now after 16 years she is back in our lives and has been living with us for 2 years now, because apparently her boyfriend left her and she came running to my dad who immediately took her back, and that's when I shifted away from home. I can't with these too, never could anyway. I've never spoken to so called mom anyways, I just have a need to care for her which dosent go away. And I hate it as much as my heart does, because this women dosent deserve my care.
"She was preparing food for dadi sa as she will be coming in the evening for staying with us sir, but suddenly maam slipped and fell on the floor twisting her ankle." the staff spoke as I froze
Dadi sa? Oh god. She is a menace to society. And to me too. God I hate that women. And love her at the same time. She is the only one who cared for me, when my parents wouldn't, and well...when she left too..yeah. Fuck it.
"You didn't have to show fake hospitality for her Ms Radhika" I said not even glancing at her while I aimlessly scrolled through my phone.
"IT isn't fake son, I was just-"
"I'm not your son." I interrupted her immediately as I called the orthopedic to come home to check on mom after I walked outside the gate. I can't show her I care even a little, cause that disgusts me to be honest.
I went back home, right now I just wanted to rest that's it. Too much was going on since morning and it's already 5pm. So yeah I'm skipping my workaholic hours for today.
I changed into some comfortable clothes as I layed down on the bed when I suddenly remembered, the file! What was in it? And why was dhruv so tensed about it??
I got up and called dhruv, he didn't pick up. He never does that either.
What is wrong with him? He has been behaving weird since morning. I called him again, no answer.
Well the only option is to drive to work as he is the only one there at this time. And I always know where to find him.
I drove to work in my casual attire knowing it's only him there.
I walked into the company building and I pressed the 13th floor in the elevator to go to my office as dhruv usually is in the office opposite to mine.
I walked towards Dhruv's cabin but the lights were off, that's weird.. he never leaves this early. It's only 6pm.
I walked towards my office now as I saw the file on the desk, dosent hurt to check now does it.
I was about to open the file when my phone rang, it was Dhruv.
"Where are you?" I said as soon as I picked up
"I have too much to tell Ruhaan, this is big! I need your fucking time for God's sake-"
The phone fell from my hand landing on the carpeted ground with a thud sound as I took a heavy breath looking at the file I turned which layed in front of me
Client name:
Ms Akshara Oberoi.
