***Tristan Blackwood***

Punch... Punch ... Punch...

"Enough Tristan! How much are you going to vent your anger on that punching bag? It's already the tenth one you have bought." grandpa said. His name is William Star. Well, our surnames are different because he is from my maternal side.

Punch... Punch ... Punch...

"Then tell your son-in-law to stay away from me. " I retorted. I hate my father and everything that has something to do with him.

Punch... Punch ... Punch...

"Tristan! You know that you are hurting yourself." my grandpa said. I stopped punching.

"Enough grandpa.. I don't want to talk about him again." I said and picked my phone and went to my room.

I am the CEO of Star enterprise as well as Blackwood enterprise. The company merged when my parents got married and they named it as BlackStar Enterprise which was taken care of by mom. My grandpa's son-in-law had no interest in it as he wanted to be a cop. My mother died when I was twelve.

I sighed as I came out of my washroom. I got ready and went downstairs. I ate with my grandpa with complete silence. Our mansion was huge but our place was so silent that even if someone dropped a pin from one corner of the room, we could hear it from anywhere.

"I don't know when this place will be filled with noise again." my grandpa sighed. I know what he meant by that. He wants me to get married and have a family but I'm not at all interested.

"I am leaving." I got up and heard another sigh. I rolled my eyes and went from there.

When I was on the road, I could see the car following. He is at this again. Why can't he just leave me alone. I grabbed the steering wheel tightly and moved towards the only place where I feel peace. The place has a great scenary. I found this place when I was seventeen. I came here after the fight with my da... my grandpa's son-in-law. This place was far away from the city and on top of the mountain. I can see the whole city from the top. I haven't seen anyone in this place for the past nine years. I heard a rustling sound and frowned. I looked at the direction of sound.

Don't tell me now the guys who are following me dared to come here as well. I can only see the plants so I waited for the intruder to come in. Today I'm going to give them a piece of mind or I'm not afraid to beat the crap out of them even though they are a cop.

I heard the voice coming near and suddenly a girl came out and as she was out of plants, she laid down. A girl! What is she doing here? ...and that too alone?

"Yeah! Yeah! I did it! I did it!" I think she wanted to make it like an excitement voice but it only came as a whisper as she was panting heavily. I stood up from my place and I stepped on a dry leaf. She sensed someone was there apart from her and looked up. Her eyes met mine. She frowned and asked,"Who are you?"

I looked at her with arms crossed. "I should be the one asking this. Who are you?"

She stood up and looked at me from head to toe. She gave a fake smile and said, "Hi". I raised my one eyebrow and looked at her for an explanation. "Well... Sorry... I just wanted to reach here at least once. I'm sorry. Please don't arrest me. "

Is she crazy? A girl coming here and that too alone. Its not safe! "What?! Arrest?"

"Yeah! Aren't you the Forest Department officer?" she asked. I hate cops.

"No! I'm not! Don't come here again!" I said and started to go away. I turned around and looked at her " Never! Ever! ". She was about to say something but I just went from there.

I sat in my car and went towards BlackStar Enterprise. I saw the car again following me. It's really frustrating to see that every single day. I reached the office and I found silence there as well when I walked through the corridor towards the lift.

"Good Morning Mr. Tristan, Today you have a meeting with M Enterprise at 1p.m. Everything is ready and the required documents are already on your table." Sam, my secretary said. as we walked towards my office. He is a very good guy and does his work perfectly. He knows that I can't tolerate clumsiness when it comes to work. I nodded my head towards him to continue. He hesitated a little but continued, "Mr. Steve Blackwood wants to talk with you."

"Now he is contacting you to talk to me." I said and when I reached my office, I sat on my chair and looked at him. "How did he get your number? Oh! I forgot he is a cop." He just remained silent. "Block his number. If he calls anyone then tell them to do the same."

"Y-Yes sir"

"Anything else" I asked him as I went through the documents.

"You have a blind date with Ms. Samaira at 8p.m. at Delight Restaurant."

"WHAT?!" I looked at him.

"Mr. William Star arranged it." he said. I don't know when my grandpa is going to stop.

"GET OUT!"

"Also-"

"NOW WHAT?!" I asked annoyingly.

"He asked me to pass you a message. He said that if you don't go to meet her like other dates, he will tell her to come to your office."

How dare he?

"GET OUT! " I yelled and this time he went out. When I meant he is perfect in his work, it was too perfect. He delivers everything that is being told otherwise it's like he can't live.

I sighed as it was going to be a long day.

.....

It's been two days since that day. That girl was really annoying. She was crying for silly things. I just told her that I came there just because of my grandpa otherwise she would never expect me to come here. That's it and she began to cry saying she was so unwanted there. It was good too as she just stayed for ten minutes mostly and ran away wiping her tears. These girls are really annoying.

I reached my favourite place and started to walk after parking my car. When I reached the spot, I heard some sound. I can see smoke coming from my usual spot. I swiped the plants in front of me hurriedly to take a better view. What I saw was unbelievable. I know my eyes must be red. The place which I loved was filled with smoke... I closed my eyes in frustration and yelled.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!"

The girl in front of me flinched. She looked at me angrily and shouted,"WHY ARE YOU YELLING? CAN'T YOU KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN?!"

I took in the area. At first, there was greenery, calm and peace. Now, there are clothes hanging on one of the trees. There was a mirror hanging on another tree. Just above the mirror, there was a chart with 'SWEET HOME' mentioned in it. The girl was sitting down and was boiling something in the pot. The heavy smoke was coming from it. After seeing all this, I came to a realization. Don't tell me-

"ARE YOU STAYING HERE NOW?!" I yelled.

"I SAID DON'T SHOUT!" the girl yelled again. She looked at the surroundings and then again looked at me. "It's not your place anyway. You were not even here for two days. You can come here anytime since you found this place first. I won't mind."

Is she kidding me? She has been here for the past two days?! I was again going to shout but I calmed myself. "Do you know how dangerous this place can be?!"

She looked at me. "Not much more dangerous than the place there." she said pointing to the city side.

"Why are you staying here?!" I asked calmly again.

She looked at me, frustrated. “I’m filming a series on how to survive in the forest,” she mocked, glaring at me. I folded my arms across my chest and continued staring at her. "My boyfriend cheated on me." she became sad. "I was staying with him in a 2BHK apartment. I have no other place to go."

"Are you crazy?! Then go back to your parents."

"I don't have one."

I felt a pang in my heart. "Relatives?!"

"None" she said looking down. "I am searching for a job."

Suddenly the pot blasted and everything splattered. What the hell?

"You're not hurt, right? And seriously—what did you even put in there? A bomb seasoning?"

She kept looking at the broken pot and I could see the pieces of vegetables splattered around it.

"What's wrong with that pot?! I didn't expect it to blast like that!" she said pointing to the broken pot. I stifled my laughter. It was a serious thing but I find that really funny which didn't go unnoticed by Ms. Messy.

"Are you here to laugh at people's misery? Don't you have any other work Mr.?" she asked putting both her arms on her waist.

"Fine! Come with me!"

***TRISTAN BLACKWOOD***

"WHAT?!" she shouted, surprised.

"I have an apartment. You can stay there for the time being." I said looking at her.

"No, It must be expensive. I can't afford you to pay the rent." she declined my offer.

"You don't have to pay me the rent. You can stay there and search for the job. It's not safe here"

She looked at me then folded her arms across her chest. "No!"

I frowned. "Why?!"

"I don't want your pity." she said and went towards the broken pot and started collecting the pieces.

She is making me angry. I held her one hand and pulled her to face me. "When I am speaking, don't you dare to go away."

She freed herself from my hold and looked at me frustratingly,"What's wrong with you?!"

"What's wrong with you?! Can't you see this place is not safe for a girl like you?!"

She frowned. "What do you mean a girl like me?" she asked putting her hands on her waist. "I know Taekwando" I raised an eyebrow at her. I haven't met a person like her.

Well, rather than an apartment, it will be safe for the country if I just admit her in the mental hospital. I sighed. I went near her and held her hand and just lightly tapped on her foot. She fell down on the ground and since I was holding her hand she landed smoothly.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" She stood up from the ground and patted the dust away from her back while glaring at me.

"Well, I just saw your 'taekwondo skill'. " I said making quotes in the air.

"You are dead now!" she came towards me and was about to punch me. I held her hand. She used her other hand to punch me. I held her other hand. She was kicking on my , but but it just felt like a tap.

"Listen! I don't have time for this. You don't want to stay in the apartment, Fine!" she stopped kicking and looked at me frowning. I had still held her hands. "Stay at my home with me an-"

"I'M NOT THAT TYPE OF GIRL!" She again tried to kick me but this time it was a bit higher but I dodged it.

"WILL YOU LET ME COMPLETE MY SENTENCE?" she didn't stop and looked at me angrily. "With me and my grandpa!" she stopped trying to kick me and looked at me.

"Grandpa" she asked tilting her head.

I nodded. "I stay with my grandpa." she looked at me while thinking. "Well, there are some servants as well. You can stay there and also do some household chores while looking for a job."

"Servants?! Who are you?!" she asked frowning.

"Tristan Blackwood" she kept looking at me. "I am the CE.."

"Show me your ID" she asked. What? She wants me to show her my ID? She went near her trolley bag and picked a small bag from near it. She rummaged something and took something out of it. She put her bag down and came near me. "See! I have one" She showed the ID in front of me.

"Remisha Miller" I whispered looking at the name.

"That's me!" she said raising her other hand. "See, I even have a photo" she said pointing to the photo in her ID. She is really energetic. She is really something. Didn't she know that even a serial killer has the ID. I sighed and took out my ID and showed it to her. She looked at my face and then at the ID. She did that a few times. "Okay! Let me pack my things." I shook my head.

I watched as she placed her things in the trolley. It took her ten minutes. She picked her trolley bag which seemed really heavy and a small bag then said,"Let's go!" She started to walk forward. I sighed and took the trolley bag from her. She forwarded her hand and tried to take it back. "I can carry my bag!"

I rolled my eyes at her. "I can see that." Then I started walking while she followed me. We reached my car and I opened the trunk to keep her bag. She just stood near me and kept looking like I would run away with her bag.

From the corner of my vision I see the bastard coming towards us. He is the one who follows my car everyday. He is just a dog of my father.

"Hey Buddy!" The bastard came and put his hands around my neck. I closed my eyes in frustration. I slapped his hand away from me.

"Don't touch me, Asher!"

He held his both hands up in surrender. Then kept his hands in his pocket. He then glared at Remisha. I looked at Remisha, and she was glaring at him. My lips just went up looking at her expression. "Go and sit inside the car." I said looking at her. She nodded and was about to go.

"STOP!" Asher shouted. I closed my eyes in frustration. Remisha also stopped and looked at him. "Who is she?" I looked at him.

"None of your business!" I said and held Remisha's hand and took her to the front passenger seat. I opened the car door. Asher came and closed the door.

"I'm not done yet, Tristan." Asher said angrily at me.

"And I'm done with you!" I yelled. "Why don't you mind your own business?!"

"I'm doing my business. It's my responsibility to prot-"

"I DON'T NEED YOUR PROTECTION!" I yelled looking at him.

"Well?!" I looked at Remisha, and she removed her hand from my hold. "I think we have to explain to him." she said looking at me then looked at Asher, "Listen Bro, I am straight. I-I mean I love boys. I mean not the type of boy who loves boys. I had a boyfriend who I broke up with. So... "

"SHUT UP!" both Asher and I said at the same time.

"WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR MIND?!" Tristan yelled.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND! I AM HIS BODYGUARD!" Asher yelled at her then looked at me mischievously,"Well, I don't know about him though." He smiled

"SHUT UP YOU BASTARD BEFORE I BREAK ALL YOUR TEETH! " Tristan yelled. " I don't have a bodyguard. I don't remember recruiting you!" He ignored me and went to Remisha.

"I want to check your bag. There's one in trunk right? Give me your bag." He said going near Remisha.

"If you are his bodyguard, check his bag. Why are you checking my bag?" Remisha said holding the bag close to her.

"I SAID GIVE ME YOUR BAG!" Asher yelled and tried to take it away from her. She on the other hand at first flinched by his voice and then didn't let her bag go. I am done with this.

I pulled Asher and gave a punch on his face. The pulling of Asher caused a force which made Remisha to fall down. Asher got up from the ground and punched me.

I looked at him in anger from the ground. From the corner of my vision I saw Remisha running towards Asher and putting something on his face.

"AHH! WHAT THE HELL?!" Asher yelled. Then he screamed loudly as Remisha kicked the part where the sun doesn't shine.

"Oops?!" I hissed. She ran towards me. What the hell?! Is she going to kick me?! She pulled my hand to make me stand and then pulled me towards the car.

"Come on ! Fast! Drive the car!" she said and we both ran towards the car and sat inside.

I drove the car while looking at Asher from the rear view mirror. I laughed out hard.

"Wow! That was amazing! " I looked at her and she was smiling beside me and looking back. "What did you put in his eyes?"

"Mud!" she said and shrugged. I shook my head and laughed focusing my eyes on the road.

"Why did you do that?" I asked her after sometime.

She faced her body towards me while leaning at the car door and said, "He is not your boyfriend." I raised my eyebrow and was about to say but she gestures stop with her hand. "He said he is your bodyguard but you said that you didn't recruit him. He must be a thief or the robber who stays in the forest." She concluded. I don't know what her expression will be if she gets to know that he is a cop. "By the way who is he?" she asked me.

"I don't know!"

"He called you buddy!"

"So what? I don't know everyone who calls me buddy" I said rolling my eyes.

"Not everyone calls each other buddy." She kept looking at me for sometime to get the answer but when I didn't respond she shrugged and looked outside.

***Tristan Blackwood***

We came near the gate of my mansion and I looked at Remisha who was shifting in her seat. My guards opened the gate.

"Is this your house?!" She said looking at me with wide eyes and then again looking at the front. "O.M.Gggggggggggggg" she said keeping both her palm in her cheek. "Who are you?!" she asked looking at me.

"I am the CE..."

"O.M.G! Is that a garden?! " she asked pointing towards the left side and looking at me. "Is this your garden?!" I nodded my head. "O.M.Ggggggggg" I laughed at her reaction. "Who are you?!" she asked again.

"I am the CE..."

"O.M.G! That building is your house?! It's not a house. It's not a building. It's a big villa." She said pointing at the mansion in the front. "OMGgggggggg' I shook my head. "Why are you not telling me? Just who are you, Mr. Tristan?!" This time I didn't try to answer.

Once I reached in front of the mansion, I heard her scream again "O.M.G! Is that a fountain?!" Here it goes again. I came out of the door and moved to the trunk and took the bag out of it. She came out near me saying something. "OMGgggggggg"

I shook my head and took the bag and went inside. She was following me. Once we are inside the mansion she looked at the surrounding. OMG again.

"OMG! It's so huge? I haven't seen any hou.. sorry villa like this. Now tell me what you do? You are not some mafia or politician right?" she said. Anyway she is not going to let me answer. I looked at her and she was looking at me. Finally!

"I am the CE..."

"Tristan?!" We looked towards the sound. Grandpa was standing on the second floor with a frown on his face. "Who is she?!"

"OMG!"I heard a whisper from my side. "Who is he?!"

"My grandpa" I said

"WHAT?! IS THAT YOUR GRANDPA! HE DOESN'T LOOK THAT OLD." she yelled looking at me. We heard a laugh from upstairs. All the servants came running to the living room hearing the commotion. "ohhh" The house feels empty everytime as no one makes any sound. Grandpa and I talk but that too less. The sudden sound must have warned them. Did I do something wrong by bringing her here? I sighed.

"You all go and do your work. It's nothing." I said and they went to do their work.

"You said you and grandpa only live here apartment from your servant. Who are they?" she whispered.

"They are my servants." I said .

"WHAT?!" The servants stopped on their way and turned back again. I sighed and motioned them to go.

"Hey Little girl! Who are you?" Grandpa asked her.

"Hello! Mr... Mr... " she looked at me. I didn't say anything. "Mr Grandpa! I am Remisha Miller. I bro-"

"She is my friend!" I said. Remisha and grandpa looked at me. She was saying everything so excitedly. She was even going to disclose about the break up and everything. Nobody asked her for it. "She is going to stay here for a while grandpa"

"I don't remember you having a friend apart from Blake, Henry, Oliver and Asher." grandpa said.

"That bastard is not my friend." I said looking at him.

"OMGggggggg!" I frowned and looked at my side and Remisha was not there. She was standing in front of a large potrait of grandpa and I. I rubbed my forehead with my index and thumb. I am talking for her and she is exploring things. "This looks royal ..... Wooow... Is it a painting?" She touched the signature in the painting. "I thought it's a photo. " she said pointing towards the painting and looking at me. I raised one of my eyebrows.

"She can never be your friend." I looked at my grandpa. He was looking at Remisha. He was true though. A person like her can't be my friend. "But I like her." he smiled looking at her. I rolled my eyes.

"Why can't we be friends?" Remisha asked coming near me and looking at grandpa. She put a hand around my neck taking me off-guard and said, "We can be best friends." she laughed. Grandpa also laughed with her.

I threw her hands from my neck and glared at her. She glared at me back.

"Come here child! Did you have breakfast?" My grandpa asked taking her inside.

"No!" she said sadly. "My pot burst."

Grandpa looked at her in confusion. This girl! Can't she lie or something? He looked at me and then asked her, "Which group do you belong to, child?"

"B positive!" she said confidently. Grandpa looked at her in shock and that was it, I lost it. I laughed so hard. For the first time my stomach was paining. I sat on the couch because I was not able to control it.

***William Star ***

I looked at the girl in front of me in shock. B positive! Is she kidding me? I looked at her and she was smiling looking at me. I heard the laugh and looked towards the sound. Tristan! ... Tristan is laughing!

The person who had not laughed for many years is laughing. I took my phone immediately and took a photo of him. I looked at the girl in front of me. She was frowning looking at Tristan.

"Is he mad?" she whispered to me. "Why is he laughing like that? We didn't crack any joke."

"Well, Uhh! I think so. You come dear. Let's eat breakfast. " I said to her.

"Yes!" she said, and I brought her to the dining table.

"OMGggggggggggg! This dining table is sooo big" she said running towards the dining table. I shook my head and looked at Tristan. He was looking at the phone frowning.

"Who is it?" I asked him.

"Someone with whom I don't want to talk to" he said. It must be Steve. I didn't want to compel him but I have already tried so many times to make him talk to his father. "Tristan, I think you should-"

"No Grandpa! Don't force me. I hate that man. I have already told you many times. I don't want to talk about him." he said sternly.

"I am not forcing you but..."

"Grandpa, I said I don't want to talk abou-."

"OMGggggggggg, There is a big aquarium. Mr. Grandpa, come here. See, the fish -" We looked at the girl running around the hall.

I looked at him and I knew that he was already regretting his decision. I chuckled looking at Tristan. "Where did you find such a unique friend?"

"She is not my friend" he whispered looking at the energetic girl. I patted his shoulder.

"Time for breakfast!" I yelled. Finally, I think this house is going to look like a proper house.

"Yes! Let's go!" Remisha yelled. I shook my head with a smile.

I sat at the head of the table. Remisha sat on my right side and Tristan on my left. She had very little breakfast. "What happened Child? Eat some more." I said and was about to serve her but she took her plate away.

"No, Mr. Grandpa! If I eat more then I will become fat. If I become fat then I will not be able to run. If I am not able to run then I am just going to lay down. If I lay down then I will not be able to get up. If I am not able to-"

"Fine! Fine! " I said putting my hands up.

"You are eating like a mouse. You'll not become fat by just eating this much. " Tristan said looking at her. She glared at him. Tristan just shook his head. Finally he is talking. Sometimes we just eat together silently and go to do our chores.

"Master, Young master and Remisha. I have prepared a chocolate cake. Please have it." Maria said. Maria has been taking care of Tristan and I. She is the head maid and also the head chef. She patted Remisha's head and gave her two pieces of cake.

"Thanks Maria Aunty!" Remisha said excitedly and started to have the cake.

"Someone said that she will become fat if she eats more." I said looking at Remisha. She smiled looking at me and stuck out her tongue. Maybe our life is going to change.

***Remisha Miller***

I laid on the bed. They have given me the guest room. I should be staying in the servant room but it's soo good. They are good people but they shouldn't be that good.

I took my phone and sent the message:

Me: I entered the house safely 😉

Receiver: Good

(That's it!)

Me: Well I like the house. They have a huge house, garden, aquarium, swimming pool, fountain etc etc.

Receiver: Behave and don't forget the mission. Don't let him kick you out on the very first day. I am thinking why he hasn't sent you to the mental asylum.

(I rolled my eyes)

Me: Good Night

I deleted the message and kept my phone aside. It was a long day. Today I will take rest. From Tommorow onwards I have lots of work to do.
