Writer's  POV:-

Mrityunjay Sehgal opened the first two buttons of his shirt, sat on the sofa and closed his eyes. Today he did what he never wanted to do and strangely he was not regretting his decision. He was happy, he could still hear the word daddy in his son's cute little voice. The way Granth's eyes sparkled, his giggles, everything was music to his ears. 

He smiled remembering Granth but when his thoughts went to Vani his anger returned tenfold. 

"Whiskey, sir?" Dhigraj asked Mrityunjay when he saw his boss sitting in the darkness of his living room. 

Mrityunjay slightly gave a curt nod, Dhigraj went to the bar area and came back with a bottle of whiskey and two glasses. He poured the Whiskey and added ice cubes into the glass, 

"Sir,"  Dhigraj muttered as he offered him the glass, Mrityunjay leaned forward, took the glass of whiskey from Dhigraj, "Are you alright, sir?" 

Mrityunjay chuckled, "What do you think, Dhigraj? I asked Vanya to marry  me, Mrityunjay Sehgal, who never wanted to marry, asked for her hand in marriage." Mrityunjay shook his head a little and took a sip of his drink "did you see my son, how happy he looked?" He asked Dhigraj.

"He looks like you, sir." 

Mrityunjay chuckled again and nodded, "Marriage, family, children were the things I never believed in and today, when Granth called me Daddy, I felt proud,"  Mrityunjay whispered, leaning back on the Sofa. 

"He is your son, it's normal to feel this way, Sir." 

"Normal…" Mrityunjay tasted the word on his tongue and laughed "has my life ever been normal, Dhigraj?"

Dhigraj kept his mouth shut, he looked down, it had been eight years since he joined Mrityunjay as one of his assistants in the Sehgal Group of Companies. He has witnessed many faces of his boss in these eight years. No one knew who Mrityunjay Sehgal was? But Dhigraj has seen some glimpse of his true nature, he was void of any emotions, he didn't care about anyone and if he wants something he would have it and most importantly if someone or something falls in his eyes, he ruins it for everyone.

And if someone touches something that belonged to him, Mrityunjay Sehgal doesn't leave the person to touch something else.  Today seeing his bosses like a normal person who has a heart and emotions, even Dhigraj was stunned. 

Mrityunjay held his glass, Dhigraj poured him the whiskey again, "call our PR head, On Wednesday, I want everyone to know about Granth being my heir. Spread the news that Mrityunjay Sehgal has been married for the past four years," He ordered Dhigraj. 

"It will be done, sir." 

Mrityunjay placed the glass on the table and stood up and took a step forward to his room. 

"Sir, there is something else you need to know about the Y & S petrochemical industry," Dhigraj said. 

Mrityunjay halted in his steps, raised his eyes to Dhigraj "What about that?" 

Dhigraj cleared his throat "Mr Veer Sehgal wants to make his son, Sahil the new managing director of that company.  Even the board is in his favour." 

Mrityunjay gritted his teeth, "Managing Director and Sahil? Has my dear uncle forgotten about me?" He bit out  "I want every single piece of information about this Dhigraj, call Jay and tell him to have his eyes and ear open.  That is my company and only I will rule over it." He ordered Dhigraj and left for his room. 

On the other hand, Indrani Sehgal was sitting with her sister Triveni Raichand. Her eyes stared at the photographs of Vani and Granth with Mrityunjay in her lap. 

She put the photos on the coffee table and stood, her eyes in the dark sky. "Since When Mrityunjay knew about them?" She asked her sister. 

"Around two week," Triveni replied, she walked to her sister and placed a comforting hand on Indrani's shoulder. 

"I know what you are going through…"

Indrani shook her head, "You don't, no one can understand the pain of humiliation I have been suffering from for the past 25 years, Triveni. And I won't allow Mrityunjay to forget what I faced to keep Yash's legacy alive. He is my only hope, Triveni,  I can't lose Mrityunjay. He is the only one who can take my revenge," She whispered painfully. Her Voice held the pain she was suffering from for the past 25 years.

"Mrityunjay has destroyed the man who was the biggest obstacle in my career in a single day, Indrani. Not because of me but because his son touched that girl. I didn't want to take such harsh steps, the result might be in my favour but still, when I tried to talk to Mrityunjay, he told me one thing. 

Either I do what he was asking me to do or he won't care what happened to me or my government." Triveni shuddered at the memory. "He will destroy everything if someone tries to harm that girl and his son."

Indrani Sehgal turned her gaze to her sister, "I don't care about anything except for my revenge, I couldn't forget how they snatched the company which was built on my husband's sweat and blood. How they threw me from the chair of CEO from the company which was rightfully mine. Mrityunjay can't forget this for anyone, He has to do this for me," She glanced at her sister. 

"Everything else has to wait, Triveni.  He is my son first and then a father or husband." 

Triveni sighed "You have made him what he is today, Mrityunjay will do everything to get back what was rightfully his. He knows that Y&S petrochemicals is his legacy, his father was the one who started this industry. He will take it back…"

"He has to do it, I am alive to see the destruction of my enemies, Triveni. I want them to suffer the same humiliation which I suffered," she glanced at her sister "and the biggest obstacle in this is Gayatri Sehgal. She broke Yash's trust and confidence. But My problem is that Mrityunjay respects her. That woman abused her power and snatched my rights from me. I am living in Sehgal house, facing humiliation and taunts from everyone because I want to be close to my enemies. I want them to pay for every single thing they did to  me."
