Chapter 53

As the days were passing Xavier’s attacks increased. It became a cat and mouse game. Every time either Arthur was destroying some warehouses of Xavier or Xavier was trying to steal the shipment of Arthur’s. Most of the time it was Xavier who lost the battle. This time things took an ugly turn. Arthur had his expansion in Asian countries and Xavier attacked some of Arthur’s areas. It was mostly legal business areas of Arthur so eventually they got help from the govt. of those countries. Having faded up, Arthur called a meeting with the Asian Mafia groups to proceed further. Nicolas got furious this time. He was at the verge of setting Norway on fire after hearing about Xavier’s phone call. Myra somehow decided to stay back for a certain time before attacking. Xavier was sufficiently blinded by his revenge, he wouldn't mind putting anyone on death bed. But Arthur and Myra couldn't just go with the flow. They had plenty of people dependent on them. Declaring war was never a first step to them, especially to Myra. For her death should be the final and last decision for someone. Myra was only interested in bringing Xavier down. 
As the meeting was scheduled in Italy Arthur chose a different office building keeping his family intact in his mansion. No way was he interested to risk their security. The day had arrived finally and Myra was getting ready to join the meeting.
“You can ditch, I don’t want to show you in front of Indonesian group again.” Arthur spoke with a trail of concern in his voice.
“It’s ok. They had already seen what I actually am. I hope it won’t be a big deal “
“Myra, I am not sure but I think a group from India might arrive.”
Arthur's major motive was to keep away Myra from the meeting as he had already heard about Ranvijay's arrival. A non-healed wound must not be open again. No matter under which circumstances they meet, the fire would be enough to burn them. Their presence would claw each other's soft spot. They would be broken again to search for their remaining pieces. He was not interested to see Myra in tears or roaming like a zombie at midnight.
“Are you trying to say that Ranvijay might show up? Then there is a high chance the meeting would end up in a bloodshed.” Myra smiled in her mind. How could her brother expect that his sister won't know what's cooking in his head? Myra wasn't sure about Ranvijay's arrival but even if he had arrived, she was least bothered with that fact. Rather she was bothered about the internal rivalry of those two.
As Ranvijay already finished that Indonesian gang who tried to kill him, things won’t be good if he would show up in the upcoming meeting. Though the group that is arriving today is not attached with the previous one who played against Sekhawats. But the situation might change into a massacre. 
Arthur expected something else from Myra. He thought Myra might try to avoid the meeting knowing about Ranvijay's arrival to hide her broken emotions. But she chose to show up. He would never understand a woman. Whether it’s Sylvia or Myra.
“You only bother about bloodshed?”
“Yes. Do you worry about some other facts? Remember we are mafias at the end of the day.”
Arthur’s eyes shot open widely hearing the words. This girl became a dangerous one with time.
“I think I might need protection in future from you, little sister.”
“We would be the best duo, trust me.” Myra smiled with her reply. 
Finishing her words they moved towards their car to reach the meeting area.
As Arthur barged into the room people became stiff in their places except two. Nicolas looked around and cleared his throat to greet.
“Welcome, Arthur.”
With a serious face Arthur moved forward to grab his seat in the centre. As soon as he moved away a slender figure appeared from behind. 
“Won’t you welcome me, Nicolas?”
A pair of eyes widened with no words in mouth. The face looked up to confirm whether he heard the voice right or not. The heart skipped a beat again. The temperature in the room suddenly felt increased to his skin as soon as his orbs met those ocean blue eyes again. There stood Myra Moretti dressed in a black expensive suit. As Arthur was tall and wide with muscles, Myra’s frame wasn’t visible at first. The moment her voice reached everyone’s ears people got more shivers. After all, she had become more ruthless than any other man.
“Obviously. How can I ignore the queen?” Nicolas had never left any chance of doing a little bit of flirting with Myra.
Ranvijay wasn’t sure about Myra’s direct involvement in the Mafia business. The girl he knew as a hater of violence turned herself into a Mafia queen itself.
In the past one year he heard a lot about Myra and her involvement with the underworld, but today only he saw the truth through his naked eyes. His wedded wife was standing across the large table. But the distance felt like miles for them. None of them could cross the distance to reach each other’s embrace.
Moving near Arthur Myra sat between Nicolas and Arthur and opposite of Ranvijay. Randhir was just beside him. They both were looking at her with numerous questions and emotions on their faces but Myra decided to ignore those. The more she would concentrate on her past, the more she would be distracted to protect her present and future.
As the discussion started, with every point her dominance showed her intelligence and strength. Ranvijay was looking at her being hypnotized. No other things were getting registered in his mind. As Myra stopped and asked the other groups for further information, one of the men stated his points.
“What about our alliance? We got threatened enough and how can we expect you to protect our business?”
“I have asked for your views. I didn’t give you permission to question our abilities.”
One sentence and Arthur’s head snapped at his sister’s direction along with Ranvijay.
“Will this girl always be such a hard nut?”
Arthur mumbled under his breath.
“The nearest alliance in Asian region will be from us. I believe we can keep such facts in our count.”
Making everyone startled, Ranvijay spoke in his same dark voice.
“In return what do you expect?” The Malaysian group asked.
“Nothing except Shaurya’s information. I know he is in Malaysia now.”
“But we are here for Xavier. That’s your personal matter. If we deny then?” The man replied.
“Then, have your back up ready, I am no longer in the alliance.”
As soon as Ranvijay finished his words, before Arthur could react everyone saw a gun pointed at Ranvijay immediately.
“Are you trying to declare a war against us?”
Never in his life Arthur expected this to happen and so did Nicolas. The owner of the voice and stance was none but Myra herself. 
“Myra, calm down.” Nicolas pressed his hand on Myra’s shoulder after getting up from his seat. The whole room was dead silent. Only a few people’s expressions changed as they saw for the first time a wife pointing his gun towards her husband. Ranvijay felt irritated seeing Nicolas touching Myra. His Myra specifically.
Yes. It was Myra whose slender fingers held the gun pressing the trigger, almost keeping Ranvijay at point blank range.  And the open mouth of Randhir was enough to tell her that she had become mad.
But there was no anger, no hatred, and no fear in Ranvijay’s eyes. He kept in constant eye contact with her without blinking for a second.
“Xavier is trying to acquire Asian lands and it would be foolish if you think he won’t mind joining hands with Shaurya. So we need to keep them apart. “
Keeping the gun down Myra sat back but she didn’t lose eye contact.
Looking at the Malaysian group she informed them to proceed further.
“Provide them as much information they need. Keep us informed about Xavier too.” Arthur’s final words were enough to call the day off.
People started to move out of the room. Arthur came out with Nicolas keeping Myra a bit away as he wanted to let Myra face Ranvijay alone. The entire meeting room had already seen the growing tension between them. Even those who didn’t know about their marriage also understood something fishy after seeing them together in the meeting room with different exchanging glances.
Randhir came near Myra while Ranvijay was still a bit away from her.
“Bhabisa, how are you?”
“Your brother had signed the papers. Call me Myra Moretti. That’s my identity.”
Hearing the harsh sentence Ranvijay came forward and looked at Myra.
“Myra, I am sorry.” One word that Randhir never heard from his brother’s mouth.
“For? Signing the divorce papers?” Myra replied blankly.
“For everything.”
“I have forgiven you long back.”
“Let’s go home Myra.” Ranvijay's pleading made Myra's heart ache badly. But she still held her emotions in a tight grip to stop it from exploding.
“I am already at home Mr. Sekhawat. Kindly enjoy your stay in Italy and don’t bother about such facts.”
Keeping a shocked, heartbroken Ranvjiay and Randhir behind, Myra walked out of the room. Nicolas and Arthur were waiting outside the room. The moment they saw her coming out they tried to pretend that they were not eavesdropping.
“Enjoyed the show? Now let’s go home.”
Myra spoke in such a manner that even that dangerous Russian Mafia Nicolas also remained silent. It’s really hard to argue with a woman, especially a mafia woman like Myra.
Without saying something else Myra and Arthur moved towards their house and Nicolas left for Russia.
Myra was looking through the window silently when Arthur cleared his throat.
“You are going to ask me for what reason I pointed the gun at my own husband right.”
He was confused when he heard her words. Since when did she start reading minds also? Of course he always hated Ranvjiay. But today he had no plan of attacking him or his brother. As Myra had already decided to stay back in Italy and with time Arthur understood the scenario between Ranvijay and Myra, he felt bad for them too. He was not ready to see Myra's side. Being in this world did his sister become a heartless one also? Will she be able to love again?
“No actually, I mean it was not required.” Arthur replied.
“It was brother, it was. For him, for me, for us.”
Myra spoke, keeping her face turned at the opposite side. She knew that Xavier would surely gather information about this meeting. If he gets to know about the current situation between her and Ranvijay has deteriorated enough, his mind will be diverted. He wouldn’t think of attacking his family. The moment she pointed her gun at him, her hands trembled at first. But to make it more natural she had to do that. She wanted his hatred badly but there was no trace of it. There was a time when they used to hate each other. But today they are unable to do so. That’s really not good for their future. Their love would kill themselves.
On the other hand when Randhir was talking to Ranvijay he simply mentioned his terrified situation seeing Myra pointing a gun at his brother. Ranvijay didn't say much but he told Randhir something different.
"You saw the gun, I saw the hidden fear in her ocean blue eyes." 
He saw the fear of losing him in her eyes. He saw the craving in her eyes for his love. He saw her anger for signing those divorce papers. He saw her shattered bleeding heart for him. He saw a stronger but broken inside Myra in front of him. He saw her wearing the same pendant even after so many incidents and their harsh life. The world saw two people's rage but they saw each other's naked soul through their eyes. 
Myra saw him buried in his guilt. Myra saw the result of his sleepless nights in his dark circles. She saw his once blank eyes now filled with thousands of emotions. She saw him looking at his queen with the same admiration or more.
If it wasn't a meeting room, Ranvijay would have smashed his lips on her. He would have lied on the table with Myra wriggling under him. She would have scratched his back the same way she used to. He would have devoured her mouth. His sweet trails of kisses would make her moan his name. She would have kissed him back like anything. Their life could be a lot different if at least one of them would be a normal person rather than a mafia.
