Ash didn"t look in her eyes. His bowed head, hoa.r.s.e voice, She knew he was crying. The only person in the world who was actually aware of love and dedication this man had for a woman like Clara. He would even die for her.How painful is it: The person you would take a bullet for ends up being the one behind the gun.
Ash smiled sarcastically: "Ridiculously the family"s Necklace was the thing I was going to propose her with. I even ordered a customised ring of the same design. Propose her! And she stole it. I thought it was lost somewhere when I took it out from the bank safe, but he only person who knew about it was her. I loved enough to spend a lifetime with her."
Ira: "Ash, you never loved her. You loved a person she pretended to be. An illusion. It was never real, let go of it taking it as a dream, rather a nightmare."
She added: "Consider yourself lucky, her mask fell off. She was always a cunning, sinister girl not the sweet and charming girl she posed. She always got hands-on things trying to defame you."
His face was sad and ugly, "You remember the bar fight which got me notoriously well known. I was in papers as "Rich Fury" beating poor bartenders till it broke their legs. Sis, I got a call that night Her.
She was crying for help. When I rushed there I saw those 3 trying to r*** Clara. In a fit of rage, I struck them with a rod placed nearby. Striking repeatedly in confusion I knocked them out. To protect Her self-respect I didn"t disclose the entire matter. Taking the blame! Now that I think, the hara.s.sment case of the actress was also the one thanks to Her. She accidentally pushed me, with me falling on the actress who later charged me. All the times, my bad image and playboy representation which came in headlines she was around. Getting clicked! I was so stupid in love!" She heard his whimpering voice.
Ira noted how Ash even refrained from taking Clara"s name. She sighed in relief. Did she succeed?!
Ira: "Ash, People who are betrayed in love are not stupid they are instead loyal and loving. Clara just didn"t deserve you."
She told him about the stomach ache drama Clara did in the US.
She smiled: "I am glad that your eyes have opened witnessing her true face. I was worried about your brother."
"Thank you. Sis," he mumbled.
Silence ensued. She gave him time to calm his emotions before investigating further. His words shocked her. She asked "The question is somewhat personal but I need to know." she paused took a breath "You don"t remember a single night you had s.e.x with Clara. I mean the whole process."
Ash whose eyes widened unexpectedly after hearing her inquiry. Yet he still responded in low voice said, "No, even the first time I was drunk, I just saw red on the bed when I woke up with her in my arms." His sad voice made her body develop gooseb.u.mps.
Ira: "There is another person in her life Ash. I saw him when I followed Clara once. Me and Viv, We saw her kissing the person." Ash tightened his fist, anger apparent with his furrowed eyebrows. "I don"t want you to take any rash action. I already have a plan to take him down. Leave the matter to me. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Okay," he said.
Ira hugged her brother tight. Patting his head she said: "I want to see you in the Company from tomorrow."
