Tainted Love by Maniah (english novels to read .TXT) 📕

Writer's POV:-

"It's nice meeting you, Madam Chief Minister," Rishi Batra offered his hand to Triveni Raichand. Triveni put on a fake smile on her face and accepted his hand to shake it. 

Rishi turned towards Mrityunjay and offered his hand to him as well, He frowned seeing the man who was at Vani's home last night here. 

Mrityunjay Eyed Rishi's offered hand, he didn't bother to shake his hand and gave him a curt nod. That was all he would be getting from Mrityunjay Sehgal. 

 Rishi raised his brows and lowered his hand, his eyes frowned at the unspoken insult. "Introduce me to  your guest, Madam Chief Minister?" Rishi said to Triveni Raichand but before she could speak. His father spoke...

"He is Mrityunjay Sehgal, CM madam is trying to improve her vote bank through Mr Sehgal's campaign but we all know she can't win without our support," Mr Batra said with an overconfident mocking smile on his face. 

Triveni Raichand stiffened on Mrityunjay's Arm at the taunt "Sometimes we have to take the support of Minors to keep the throne…" she answered back. 

"It means the queen sitting on the throne can be easily overthrown at any moment by those minors," Mr Batra smiled sinisterly. " But leave this topic for some other day Madam, Let me introduce you to my wife," he said, waving a hand for Triveni Raichand to walk beside him. 

Triveni Raichand sighed, she was angry but didn't let it show on her face and forced a smile "Sure Mr Batra," She said and walked away with Mr Batra to meet his wife and congratulate her.

Meanwhile, Mrityunjay couldn't wait to leave this useless gathering. He checked his phone to see if there was any message from the Doctor.

 Dhigraj was standing beside Mrityunjay and keeping an eye on everyone so that no one could come too close to his Boss. One thing Mrityunjay Sehgal couldn't tolerate was when someone tries to initiate a conversation with him. Especially to the people who he didn't consider important enough to give his time. 

"I will leave within ten minutes, Dhigraj, make sure the  car is ready…" Mrityunjay ordered his PA. While Dhigraj was calling the driver, Rishi Batra appeared on Mrityunjay's side 

"Mr Sehgal, it's nice to finally meet you, we couldn't talk to each other earlier but we can talk now," Rishi said smiling.

Mrityunjay closed his eyes for a second and sighed deeply to remain calm and tolerate Rishi's presence. He turned towards Rishi and nodded "Yes…" Mrityunjay asked him curtly. 

Rishi smiled presumptuously "I have heard a lot about you Mrityunjay," he mumbled.

Mrityunjay raised his brows at him "I just wanted to ask what were you doing in My girlfriend's house that night? Rishi asked in a demanding tone. 

Mrityunjay eyed him, he chuckled and didn't bother to answer him. Mrityunjay Sehgal chose whom he wants to talk with, not the other way around. He didn't waste his words over someone who was not worthy of his time. 

" Sir, the car is ready…" Dhigraj said, getting Mrityunjay's attention. Mrityunjay was about to walk away when Rishi gripped his elbow "I asked you something?"

Dhigraj's eyes widened in horror when he saw Rishi touching Mrityunjay. 

Mrityunjay jerked his head at Rishi's hand and raised his gaze to meet Rishi's eyes. Gripping his hand tightly Mrityunjay pulled it away, "Don't. Ever. Touch. Me. Again." He gritted out.

"Are you trying to scare me, Mr Sehgal?" Rishi took a step forward and raised his chin in the air. 

"I don't scare..," Mrityunjay levelled his gaze at him. "I punish, " he bit out and was about to turn when Rishi spoke again. 

" Stay away from my girlfriend, I can kill for her, Mrityunjay. She is mine and I don't want to see you anywhere near her," he warned Mrityunjay pointing a finger at him... 

Mr Batra was talking with Triveni Raichand and some of his guests when his eyes went to his Son and Mrityunjay, he saw his son's angry face...Triveni Raichand followed Batra's gaze and was shocked to see, Batra's son pointing a finger at Mrityunjay. 

Mr Batra darted to his son, Triveni Raichand following him.

"Rishi…" Mr Batra interrupted "Any problem?" He asked, glaring at Mrityunjay. 

Mrityunjay turned his head towards Mr Batra "Your son needs to grow up Mr Batra...Keep him under control," He told Mr Batra.

"Or what Mrityunjay?" Mr Batra asked in a superior tone.

"It's Sir to you, I didn't permit you to address me by my first name and take your son for a mental check-up, he needs urgent treatment," Mrityunjay told him.

"Mrityunjay…" Triveni Raichand tried to calm Mrityunjay, she was well aware of his anger. Mrityunjay pinned her with a hard glare and she went quiet after that.

Mr Batra's face turned white in anger,  "Do you know who you are talking to? I am Neeraj Batra, just ask your aunt what I can do…"

Mrityunjay's cheek rose, he chuckled "I would like to see what you can do Mr Batra…" he raised his brows. 

"Stay away from Vani…" Rishi gritted out, warning him. 

Mritunjay's eyes turned murderous, Granth's innocent face flashed in front of his eyes, For the first time Mrityunjay Sehgal lost control "Don't take her name." He proclaimed as his eyes flashed ferociously,

"Handle him…" He nodded at Mr Batra motioning at him with his eyes "...Or I will do it," Mrityunjay gritted out. Nodding at his Aunt Mrityunjay left for his home.

"I will kill him, if he comes between me and my Vani, I will…" Rishi muttered clenching and unclenching his hand in anger while Mr Batra was trying to calm his son. He cursed at that woman who trapped his son. 

Mr Batra tried everything to keep Rishi away from Vani, Rishi was his only son and he had plans for his future but everything changed in the past four years since that Woman came into his life. He couldn't kill her because his son was obsessed with her. This obsession has gone too far for his liking and now something has to be done.
