~Next Day~

•Mehra House•

It's 10 in the morning and the elders were having their peace time because all youngsters were still sleeping as they were awake almost whole night, enjoying their time. But their peace time came to an end when they heard a loud shriek of Ishika echoing in the whole house. All abruptly ran to where the sound came from only to see a fuming Ishika in the swimming pool while the others were laughing loudly.

"What's going on here?", Harshita asked seeing the interaction between the cousins to which Karan excitedly exclaimed,

"Tai ji we were waking her for last half hour but this madam here was hell bent on sleeping, so we threw her into the pool. It was my idea. Wonderful right."

"Wonderful my foot?? Improve your vocabulary dumbo, it's known as Nihayati Bakwass.", Ishika uttered while leaning across the railing of the pool whereas Karan glared her and in return Ishika just mouthed , "Watch your back." And then showed her tongue teasingly.

Their silent fight halted when Sushma sternly said, "Enough. Ishu go freshen up and remaining of you come with me."

_________

Its noon and noone was at home except Ishika who was doing her work in the living room, when her eyes fall on a flower bouquet placed on the side table with a note attached on it.

" Who bought it?"

Ishika thought and out of curiosity, she picked it up. A serene and calm expression crossed her face when she smelled the flowers. Then her gaze went towards the note, and without caring about anything, she took out the note. After reading the first word of that, a large smile was threatened to form on her face.

My Queen

Do you know I think of you often during the day. And i just can't help but smile which I myself didn't knew I can do until I met you. You, my darling took my breath away in our first meet. You surely look stunning in that white lehnga but what attracts me towards you was you carefree attitude.

And since then, I've spent every moment in awe of your beauty, intelligence and sensuality.

Yesterday when I slided the ring of my name in your hand, trust me it's one of the best moment of my life. You my love, have become my sanity, my power, my strength, my queen.

I know it's been a short period but trust me when I say I can't imagine my life without you, It's true. And it's my promise that i will be at your service whenever and wherever you needed, and make your each day special starting with today..

These flowers are for my little delicate yet strong flower, who i know will be a blushing mess till now. And don't be surprise if you receive the flowers daily.

And Remember my soon to be biwi, This man is yours and you are mine. Mine to love. Mine to cherish. Mine to kiss and mine to....

Well leave that But I am Missing you and your lips on mine.

Eternally yours

Abhi..

PS: Don't bite your lips jaan..that's mine to do..

Abhiraj was right when he said Ishika would be blushing mess. She licked her lips and pull them in between her teeth after reading his last statement while her cheeks were so red that they can even beat the darkest shade of red.

Her eyes lingered over each words and then she observed, ' Even his writing is beautiful'. Glancing back at the flowers and letter for the last time, she buried her face in her hands in order to conceal her crimson face.

A few minutes later, she placed the roses in the flower vase and move towards her room along with the letter and her stuff in her hands. She put the note in a safe box and sat on the bed with the laptop placed on her lap, video calling Abhiraj.

Seconds later Abhiraj's husky and deep voice reached her ears via earbuds while he was busy in something giving her a clear view of his chiseled jawline and striking side view.

"Darling!!."

"Abhi.. What are you doing? And yeah thank you for the flowers.", Ishika replied and a blush threatened to coat her cheeks when she remembered about the letter with it.

"Missing you Jaan. And how many times I have to remind you to don't say thank you to me." , Abhiraj replied back leaning against the head chair, tilting his head a little.

"Yeah yeah! Now people can't even appreciate the gratitude.", Ishika muttered under her breath but lucky for Abhiraj, he heard and a chuckle left his mouth and he said,

"Okay i will appreciate your gratitude but then what about the gratitude regarding my letter. Don't you like it?", His voice was playful and his lips were twitched into a sly smirk when he saw the redness on his queen's cheeks.

"Ahaan..You look quite beautiful with this blush.

How much I wanted to bite and assault your that red cheeks and not to forget your tempting lips. They are literally an invitation for me, to come to you and suck out your breath until you forget everyone and everything except me. I'm imagining what it would be like if you were here with me right now..." , Abhiraj's sole attention was fixed on the beauty on the other side. His eyes were ogling at with such intensity, which makes Ishika breath hitched and his words weren't helping at all.

Ishika adjusted the strand of hair and looked sideways to fight the blush that was slowly creeping on her cheeks, no words were coming out from her mouth but still she managed to whisper, "Abhi.."

"Sì mia piccolo pomodoro.."

She turned her face towards Abhiraj and gently said, " What does that mean?" , To which Abhiraj just shrugged and effortlessly changed the topic.

And like that their conversation went for 10 minutes when someone knocked on Abhiraj's cabin disturbing them. Ishika looked at him and said, "We'll talk later..", and before Abhiraj can say anything she added knowing he would send the person back and give her a solid reason to continue the talk, "No ifs and buts. Back to your work Mr Rathore."

A smile graced his lips listening her commanding tone and he replied teasingly,"We will meet soon mia piccolo pomodoro." , and from the other side he heard his queen whine hearing the name which she can't even pronounce to Google it.

"Mr. Rathore tell me it's meaning."

"Now Mrs. Rathore someone ordered me to go back to my work and I can't disobey her. You are understanding me right."

Saying this he winked at her while Ishika hugged loudly whispering, "Whatever. I'll see you later Mr.Rathore ." , and disconnected the call.

And once the call cut off, Abhiraj demeanour changed and with his ever cold and emotionless tone, he allowed the person to enter.

•Headquarters, Rathore Empire•

An Elite entered inside the cabin and stand there with his eyes rested on his shoes. He knew that noone was allowed to look at his eyes without his permission and if anyone did, the consequences will be worst than death.

"Look up and speak.", Abhiraj's voice was commanding and cold sending a shiver down to the Elite spine.

"Boss we have been informed that American Mafia has again indulged themselves into the Human trafficking business despite of many warnings. Yesterday many girls and children were shipped to the north coast of America."

"He didn't listen me, did he? Cool then wipe the existence of the whole American Mafia except their leader. I want him in my basement within 48 hours. He is mine to deal with.", A cruel and sadistic smirk was playing on Abhiraj's face while the Elite had already started praying peace for the the leader.

No further questions were asked by Elite as he knew what he says, goes. Everyone knew Abhiraj Singh Rathore is a power not to be mess with and if anyone do, then he/she better hide somewhere, not that it will help them in anyway except a little delay in their death. And now his prey is the the leader.

The Elite nodded his head in return and bowing down, he left his cabin thinking that leader was either so brave or a fool to even continue this cheap activity after Boss's warning and on the same time he was also feeling proud on himself for being a part of Rathore Empire.

____________

Two days have passed quickly and as Abhiraj mentioned in the letter , Ishika was daily receiving a flower bouquet but sometimes when she is lucky, she also receive a note and today's the day. Ishika was getting ready for their get together but her mind is repeatedly playing the lines of the notes whenever she look into her eyes in the mirror and she couldn't stop the red hue spreading on her cheeks.

"What beauty can be there to mention after your eyes?"

She came out from her thoughts when she heard a loud yell of her name from downstairs telling her to come fast. "Coming", she shouted back while wearing her sneakers and walked downstairs.

~Meanwhile~

•Basement, Rathore Empire•

The basement was echoing with the sound of groaning from a man who was getting brutal hits by the royal guards while his hands and legs are securely tied up. The man took a sigh of relief when they stopped but the next second his eyes widened with fear when he spot Abhiraj entering. Even the FBIs and U.S. Secret service present there, bowed down their head in respect.

"I didn't knew you were this brave.", His sharp voice sent a shiver down to the leader's spine making him tremble.

He took out his gun, placing on the side table, he walked towards him and clutched his jaw in a painful grip making him look directly into his eyes. The leader shuddered in fear seeing his dark and unforgiving eyes. Abhiraj left his jaw, and taking a sharp knife he detached his both hands from his body.

A loud scream erupted from his mouth and tears gathered in his eyes. He meekly whispered, "Mercy please."

For once a look of pity crossed in the guards eyes but as soon as they remembered what he did, they felt satisfied watching his pathetic condition. Abhiraj on the other hand chuckled sarcastically at the choice of his words and muttered, "Mercy? Nah! That's not my thing. A slow painful death is awaiting for you. You are lucky that I have places to be now. Brace yourself. We'll meet soon."

Saying this Abhiraj turned towards the guards and commanded, "Call the doctor and treat him first. Then do the same with his other body parts. Make sure he doesn't die. Understood." , His eyes then landed on the US agents and he asked them to meet him in his office in next 5 minutes.
