Naksh was talking to his personal assistant.

"I don't care how you do it. Get me the client. I can't lose to that Kukreja. Usse bhi pata chalna chahiye Naksh Khurana never loses. DO IT. Understand?"

(He should also know Naksh Khurana never loses.)

"Yes sir."

He disconnected the call with a grim expression. 

'I will never let you win Mr. Dushyant Kukreja.'

His thoughts were broken by a soft knock on the door. His mother entered in and a smile automatically formed on his face. 

She kept the plate of fruits she brought for him on the side table. She sat beside him and he immediately lay his head on her lap.

She smiled and moved her fingers in his hair and he smiled and sighed softly.

"Pura din kaam mai laga rehta hai. Tere chakkar mai Mahir bhi pura din office mai rehta hai. Ki kahi tujhe disappoint na krde."

(You work whole day. Because of you Mahir also works whole day. So that he doesn't disappoint you.)

"Maine usse kabhi force nhi kia mumma. Apne mann se karta hai."

(I never forced him. He does it himself.)

She sighed knowing that it was useless to get her sons to reduce their workloads. She started feeding him the fruits and he accepted happily.

He loved to rest in his mother's lap when he was tired or needed a break. She was his happy place. Where he could be just Naksh and not the businessman Naksh Khurana.

"Ayee! Mere bina nhi. Chalo shift ho."

(Not without me. Shift.)

They heard a dramatic voice. Mahir removed his coat and laid on the other lap. Their mother smiled and sat there patting both of their heads.

Naksh and Mahir had a difference of only one year between them and so the two were like best friends.

Though Naksh's constant ego to always win did lead to agruments between the two but they were still always together and loved each other to death.

In the evening the two were sitting together discussing about the day when Mahir told him about Samaira and Nyra.

Naksh looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.

He asked him to continue with what he was saying.

"The girls are brilliant bhai. I love how passionate Samaira is about her work. I mean uske ideas and techniques. Major details nhi pata but the way they organise everything is so good. No doubt ek hi saal mai itna successful hai dono. It won't take them much time to reach a height."

(I don't know the major details but the way they organise everything is so good. No doubt they got such success in just an year.)

Mahir seemed genuinely impressed with them which made Naksh angry. His brother had always praised him and his techniques and hearing him praise someone else made him jealous.

He had always been the hero in Mahir's eyes but today it seemed like someone else was becoming his hero. And he would not let that happen.

"Kya naam bataya company ka?"

(What was the company's name?)

He asked and Mahir looked at him with a smile.

"Software Island."

"Software Island."

Naksh repeated the name in a dangerous tone and Mahir's smile fell.

"Bhai! Kya chal rha hai tere dimaag mai?"

(What is going on your mind?)

Naksh smirked evily and said.

"You think she would reach the heights? She won't. I won't let her."

"Bhai! Please don't do anything stupid. Unka hard work hai bhai."

(Its there hard work.)

Mahir tried to explain but in vain.

"Doesn't mean wo mera hard work waste karegi. I won't let her win. Not in my field. I will make her realise who the King is."

(Doesn't mean she will waste my hard work.)

He said and started typing something on his phone. Mahir cursed himself for telling him that.

"Bhai tujhe kaun rok rha hai. Be the King na. Lekin let her become the Queen."

(Who is stopping you.)

Naksh looked at him as if he had betrayed him and Mahir got quite.

"Mai jeetne nhi dunga usse. Kabhi nhi. Kya naam bataya tha?"

(I won't let her win. Never. What was her name?)

"Bhai please!"

"Name Mahir!"

Mahir sighed and said.

"Samaira. Samaira Singhania."

Naksh smirked and forwarded her name to his personal assistant and asked him to get all the details possible about her.

"Bhai please don't do something you regret later on."

He tried to explain him one last time but he knew nothing would work on him. Once Naksh finalizes something he would not stop unless he had accomplished it. 

He smirked when he read the message his assistant had sent. They had got the deal from the Kukrejas.

'Kukreja was an easy bird. I am coming for you now Miss Samaira Singhania. Galat jagah haath daala hai tumne. I won't leave you so easily. Ab tumhe pata chalega who the real King is.'

Only if he knew that this time he was going to lose. Very badly. He was going to lose the first mission. And his heart too.

**************************************

It had been almost two weeks since Naksh had been planning how he was going to know the secret behind Samaira's success and destroy her.

Mahir was feeling helpless and scared for the girls. He told his father to talk to Naksh. He had not told him everything but given a hint that Naksh could do something he could regret later.

Rehaan had talked to him about it.

"Being a businessman advise de rha hu. Don't do something irrational and hastily. And most important. Don't regret anything."

(I am advising you as a businessman.)

"Don't worry papa. I know what i am doing. Aur mai kuch irrational nhi kr rha."

(I am not doing anything irrational.)

Rehaan's words hadn't affected him but he did listen to his mother's words and did ponder on his mission again.

"Jo bhi kare just remember two things i always teach you. Kabhi kisi ki feelings se nhi khelna. Never. And never do anything that we as parents feel ashamed of you."

(Never hurt anyone's feelings.)

Naksh felt conflicted but he was blinded by his ego that for the first time in his life he lied to his mother.

"Kabhi nhi."

(Never.)

He promised making her smile. 

Only if she knew that the smile would be turning into shame soon. Her son was going to let her down because of his ego.

**************************************

Naksh had got all the information he needed about her. Her likes, dislikes, hobbies, the places she liked to visit.

He had formulated a plan of how he was going to extract information from her and then leave her with nothing.

He moved out of the house to put his plan in action with an evil smirk on his face.

What he didn't know was that God above too was sitting with a smile knowing how badly he was going to fail.

He stopped the car in front of an orphanage where he knew she would be coming.

He was waiting for her sitting in his car when he heard the voice of a car being parked.
