Heyyy last time I asked you about guessing about my next story. There were comments about everything else but not it. Please do so now. I want to know what you think.

My next story is gonna be a fan fic. Guess which one and guess the couple :)

Vikram's POV

Shit. Shit. Shit. 

Even though I was not a fan of Harish he was still uncle of Lila. Murdered? In his own office? What was he doing there so late at night? Wasn't there a security guard over there.

I looked on my left. Lila was sleeping soundly, her face tear stained. It took me a while to calm her down and ask her who was the call from. I was shocked and angry by Markus's revelation but this left me shaken to the core.

I tore my eyes from Lila and looked towards Markus. He was sitting across from me, typing away something on his laptop. All the evidence of sobbing hardly was gone from his place. He used the same mantra for forgetting everything like I did and still do, work hard.

I guess he worked more than me and was more successful as we were travelling in his private plane.

I couldn't leave him alone there. I might need his help.

Mita. I didn't have enough curses to describe her. She ruined lives, mine along with everybody around her. Why did she hate Megan so much or even Lila? Was it because of me?

Oh Vikram don't flatter yourself so much. Mita hated Lila ages before she met me. Was it always for something more? 

Mita didn't love me. We both knew that. Then why did she threw a fit when I broke it off. I remember she started to scream. 'This can't happen, we belong to each other. We have to marry each other' 

Yeah like I would marry you after I see you flirting with my best friend.

Lucas, what happened brother. We were friends since years. Why did you let that girl come between us.

A tear slipped from my eye. I wiped it before anybody else could see. 

We reached Mumbai airport after a short while. It took us half an hour before we could seek permission to fly Markus's plane to Pune. As we got out of Mumbai Airport, we saw a car and police van waiting for us. Shivam, Deepti's older brother got out of the car and soon after a cop got out from his van. Lila ran to hug her brother.

"Vikram, Lila this is Inspector Chulbul Pandey" Shivam introduced us. I shook his hand. He was tall and muscular. He was wearing his police uniform along with black sunglasses. I have never seen a cop look so fit.

"Who is this?" He asked gesturing towards Markus. I introduced him as well.

"There is a reason that I came here to visit you. Mr. Harish before he died wrote your names on the floor with his blood" Inspector Pandey said

Bile rose in my mouth. Lila choked besides me. 

"There were no sentences just four words. Lila, Vikram, save and business. Does it make any sense to you?" He asked.

I told him full story about the business. He looked intrigued.

"So you mean to say, from now on you and your wife will look after it and share the profits" He asked.

"Certainly" I said.

"Okay. I will talk to you soon enough" With that he left.

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

All four of us got into the car, Shivam was driving while Markus was sitting shotgun.

"Do you know what Kaka was doing so late?" Lila asked him

"I am not sure. Since past week dad started calling me, asking me for help. I was shocked at first, as you know he stopped talking to me after I left home last year. He called me and started asking me about Mita's dad, Vilas kaka"

"What about him?" I was interested and so was Markus.

"About his work. You know he owns a chain of hotels here and also in US. Apparently Vilas Kaka was after dad to seal your business, your hotels to him. But dad refused saying he couldn't do it, it belonged to you and Lila. So he started interfering in your hotel. I have heard them argue about it for years"

"Why did he want to buy our business?" Lila asked innocently

"Since start our business became a threat to his hotels" I answered.

"Vikram can I trust you?" He asked me looking at the mirror to see my face. I nodded. He looked suspiciously at Markus, thinking whether to say in front of him or not.

"You can trust Markus" Lila piped in.

He nodded and after a while he said.

"I think Vilas kaka got dad killed"

This fits everything. Mita wanting to marry me. Breaking off my engagement with Mita. Killing me and Megan. It all fit.

I looked at Markus, he was thinking the same.

"Shivam. It's time we tell you something. Can we tell you?"

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

Shivam parked the car in front of the house. He was sitting in disbelief after we told him everything. From Megan to yesterday's accident.

"How can she do all this and sit there in the house and cry over my father's dead body" He shivered in his seat. 

"She is here?" Markus asked him fear rising in his chest.

"Yes. She had gone to Delhi few days back. She came back yesterday at night"

"No. She was in Maldives. I saw her. Lila did too" Markus said.

"This is all too messed up. Let's talk about this at night. Make sure Deepti knows about this too. She needs to know this"

We entered the house. Cries could be heard all over the house. There we so many people there. I looked at Markus he looked uncomfortable so I told him to go next door to my house. Lila ran as soon she caught sight of Deepti. They hugged each other and sobbed. I could see my mom consoling Deepti's mom. Then I saw her, Mita wearing a white salwar kameez, so looked so calm. Her eyes looked as if she was crying but there was not sorrow on her face. She looked at me, her gaze unsettling. I looked around and saw Ajji, she sat there like a stone. She jumped whenever someone came to talk to her. Her eyes trailing Mita every few minutes with fear.

She knew something.

Then a few men along with Shivam came. Vihaan was standing behind him. His face neutral. Chulbul Pandey came into view. He was here to give possession of Harish Kaka's body after autopsy.

Harish Kaka was cremated according to Hindu rituals. The ladies stayed behind while we all men went to do the final rite.

When we came back Inspector Pandey asked us if he could talk to us privately. I called Lila and Shivam. They came along with Deepti.

"I investigated into the matter. According to the security cameras at the entrance of the office building, at around 12am an employee left the building. We were able to identify him as Rishi, do you know him?"

"Yes. He worked there and also we went to the same school" Lila said. He nodded.

"We picked him up early in the morning, interrogated him. He confessed to the murder"

Lila and Deepti started sobbing again. Shivam just nodded.

"But he confessed easily. Too easily. I have seen many murderers. But this was different"

"Maybe it was his guilt" Deepti said.

"Maybe. But when we asked him about the motive, he seemed baffle. He committed the murder, we have proof of that but he didn't do it on his own, someone convinced him to do it"

There was only one person who came to my mind.

**********

You all know who that is. Rishi you remember that Reunion guy? He murdered Kaka.
