"Agreed," Daksh smirked leaning back on the sofa before resuming the flip through the magazine that Neel had been reading. Vikrant just watched the show silently before slipping back the way he came through.
"Come on, Craziness. As much I would love to see you struggle hopping your way back, the gentleman in me is shaking his head," Aaryan sighed before helping me up. My foot ached but much less than it initially did.
We walked silently to the elevator and let it take us to the down. I was happy that it wasn't an awkward silence, it was a calm and comfortable one. The elevator opened to reveal the garage, I could now see a few guards moving around inspecting the floor. They nodded at Aaryan's sight who nodded back with a poker face.
For a second I couldn't recognize him. He was so serious and intimidating all of a sudden that it reminded me of Vikrant and Viaan. Once we walked out of the huge double gates, I asked him unable to contain my curiosity, "What was that about?"
"What?" He gave me a baffled look not following my thoughts.
"That damn serious, Viaan-wala-interaction with the guards!" I explained to him.
"Oh, that," he chuckled, "I don't behave like this with everyone. I keep my circle small, just like my brothers. Only a few get to witness this side of me, so consider yourself as lucky, Craziness."
His words made a smile spread on my face. I did not doubt that all my teeth were out for display, "I'm honored,oh greatMr. Aar-Aar."
"Looks like you are insulting and complimenting me at the same time," he smirked before coming to stop before my aunt's house. My eyes widened at the realization. How did he know?
"How did you know that I was staying here?" I asked him surprised.
He turned to give his trade smirk, replying, "we are calledThe Raivardhansfor a reason, darling. We know everything."
He winked at me before giving me a two-finger salute and turned on his heels to march back to The Raivardhan mansion in an attitude like he didn't have a care in the world.
From the corner of my eyes, I registered the door opening and a familiar face come into the view. Her tone held disbelief, "Was that? Did he just?"
"You were right, Anjali," I turned to look at the starstruck expression on my cousin's face, "All the Raivardhans are smoking hot!"

"Oh.My. God! You lucky bitch! You just lived the wish of millions of girls put together!" Anjali was awestruck as she playfully punched me.
"More like was dragged into the wish," I joked before casting a lookout of the glass, towards the Raivardhan mansion. Except for the few lights here and there, the mansion had been very quiet with no noticeable movements. The dim lighting of the room allowed us to see outside, of course with a little reflection of ours in the way.
"Already can't keep your eyes away from them, eh?" Anjali teased by nudging me. I chuckled, "Hey! It ain't like that and you know it quite well too."
"Yeah, yeah, that you only have eyes for Surya Kanth Nath," she smirked making me groan, "Anju..."
I grabbed a nearby pillow and smashed it onto her head. "Hey! That was uncalled for!" She took the other pillow and tried to hit me with it but I blocked her attack with mine. Our laughter had filled the room as we continued with the pillow fight.
Little did I know that on the other side of the Raivardhan mansion, our pillow fight was being watched by two pairs of amused eyes and another pair of cold eyes.
"I'm in a dilemma," Vikrant broke the icy silence between the brothers.
"About?" Viaan was still scrutinizing the scene before him that he did not see it necessary to cast Vikrant his precious gaze.
"I still can't decide if she was very dumb or that brave to talk like that to Aaryan, to us," Vikrant leaned against the desk and folded his hands across his chest. His black track pants paired up with black polo shirt, fit him snug.
"Come on guys, you know that she is an innocent girl with a personality that is real for once. At least, she is not fake," Neel removed his hands from his pockets and frowned at his brother's words.
"She's not," Viaan's deep voice filled the room again. He was still in his office attire, not having enough time from his work to change into his pajamas. The other two brothers waiting for him to complete his point. He slowly loosened his tie and pulled it out, "She is the most clever of the gold diggers I've met till the date. She's smart enough to hide behind the mask of dumbness and cunning enough to pretend to be innocent. Just one meeting and she already caused all of you to let your guards down, taking her to be as docile and harmless."
"But we must admit, she was entertaining," Vikrant smirked.
"Maybe. Just don't trust anyone outside our close circle. You can't keep a scorpion in your vicinity without having the fear of being stung. And keep her out of our house," with that said Viaan turned and left the room, leaving Vikrant and Neel in darkness, at the mercy of lights from outside. The remaining two Raivardhan brothers continued to watch the little fun I and Anjali were having.
The next day, I didn't have a panic attack like I usually did whenever I wake up in a new place. After all, Anjali was the one who woke me up gently.
We had a brunch, Uncle Aadarsh, Luv and Kush had taken a day off so that they could provide better hospitality to their guests, in a sense us.
