The Bond of..?

|40| •The Bond of Revenge•

I am sorry! My computer is facing severe issues. Yes, I can write this from another computer but it was important that I first fix my computer as it has some important assignments and files. So that's why there was a delay this week.

"I need a clause that says that he cannot harm me in any way, that includes physically, verbally and emotionally," Sana sternly declared, a poker face masking her facial features.

Sana was making a deal with Roy; a deal that would buy Aarav some time to work out their plan. If not the plan, the deal would surely assure her safety. She barged into his office two hours ago with a lawyer and stack of papers to finalize their deal. The smirk on his face vanished the minute she threw his chocolates on his table, accusing him for murder. What can she say? She has a habit of disrupting meetings and from the looks of his employees, they didn't seem to mind.

As far as Roy was concerned, he was ready to sign almost any contract and any deal with her as long as she took back her false accusation. He obviously didn't intend to kill Aarav but those chocolates did cause both of them enough trouble.

"I need clause stating that she will not back down from this contract under any circumstances," Roy further countered, not willing to back down.

"Is that all?" the frustrated lawyer asked for the nth time the morning. Sana gave him a sympathetic smile, she did wake him quite early in the morning from his vacation for this deal of hers.

But at the same time, she was paying him twice as much money for this 'fake' contract so he had no right to complain!

"For now yes. Please recheck the entire document, I don't want any loopholes in any of his clauses," Sana formally said, motioning the document with her hand.

Her lawyer frowned at her, giving her a stare before reviewing the hundred page contract for the fifth time in the morning.

"Shocked is an understatement at what I am feeling right now. Who knew you would come to your senses so soon?"Roy taunted back smugly.

"Can you please add another clause that says that he will speak to me in a formal, polite manner. Oh and he will speak to me only about the most important business related issues. Otherwise, I have no interest talking about how baseless emotions," Sana replied back to the lawyer instead.

The lawyer looked at her funnily, but she didn't blame him. Roy and her had been fighting like two children over a chocolate. Oh what can she say? Saanvi was clearly rubbing off on her.

"I am surprised you are not making a list of clauses," Sana quizzed back, finally realizing that Roy was just sitting in his chair, quite relaxed. Roy being calm meant only one thing: danger.

"I am gaining all the profit I can in every way. You can decide about these worthless clauses yourself," he said back without any hesitation causing the lawyer to grumble about his misfortune.

"Worthless huh? I wonder why you wasted two hours for this," she challenged back. Her stomach grumbled for food and she realized his lack of respect towards his visitors. He had not offered her anything from the past few hours, not even water. On the other hand, she had rushed here without any food early in the damn morning.

"I am still trying to figure out what you are gaining from this," Roy mused back, confused at Sana's intentions.

That caused Sana to give him a wide, mysterious smile, "More than you expect."

"The contract is ready to be signed," the laywer suddenly broke their new banter.

Sana gulped in a gasp, did he honestly just read all that in two minutes? What a liar! "Did you clearly read all the papers?"
