Mafia & Mangalsutras
You should've stayed away
Somewhere in Mumbai, India
📲 Meher’s phone pinged with a message
Unknown number
You published the article anyway.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
Who is this ?
Unknown number
You know exactly who.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
Oh.
The criminal billionaire himself.
Unknown number
Careful with your words.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
Or what?
You’ll sue me with daddy’s lawyers?
Unknown number
No.
Lawyers are for legal problems.
You became a personal one.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
Threatening a journalist?
Very original, Mr. Malhotra.
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
You think exposing me was brave?
Meher Kapoor(FL)
No.
Necessary.
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
You have exactly 12 minutes to delete the article.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
And if I don’t ?
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
Look outside your window.
Meher walks to the balcony
A black Rolls Royce is parked below her apartment
Meher Kapoor(FL)
You’re insane.
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
Yet you’re still texting me
Meher Kapoor(FL)
Get out of my street!!!
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
Come downstairs.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
Absolutely f*cking not.
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
Then I’ll come up.

He said, "Are you serious? I've tried, but I can't figure out
I've been next to you all night and still don't know what you're about
You keep ta- (ta-ta-) talkin', but not much comin' out your mouth
Can't you tell that I want you?" I say, yeah
I would want myself
Baby, please believe me
I'll put you through hell
Just to know me, yeah, yeah
So sure of yourself
Baby, don't get greedy
That shit won't end well
Ooh, end well
I see you eyein' me down, but you'll never know much past my name
Or how I'm runnin' this room around and that I'm still half your age
Yeah, you're loo- (loo-loo-) lookin' at me like I'm some sweet escape
Obvious that you want me, but I said

He said, "I'm just curious, is this for real or just an act?
Can't tell if you love or hate me, never met someone like that
Drive me so (so, so) crazy, did you know you got that effect?"
I said, "Lemme check", yeah
The deal with the Devil
Meher Kapoor(FL)
You seriously tracked my address ?
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
You wrote an article about me.
Did you expect flowers?
Meher Kapoor(FL)
I expected an ego.
Not stalking.
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
Open the door.
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
You have exactly ten seconds before I stop being polite.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
And I have exactly zero fear left for rich men in expensive suits.
Silence extends for 10 seconds
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
(Says From outside) Interesting
Meher Kapoor(FL)
What is ?
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
Most people panic when I’m outside their door.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
Most people probably know what you actually are.
A few seconds later, Meher unlocks the door angrily.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"Say whatever dramatic nonsense you came here to say and leave."
Aarav walks in calmly, eyes scanning her apartment.
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"...You live alone?"
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"That’s none of your business."
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"Everything involving you became my business the second you published that article..."
Meher Kapoor(FL)
*Folds her arms*
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"You mean the article exposing your illegal offshore accounts?”
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"Careful.
You sound proud of yourself."
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
*Steps closer to Meher*
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"You think you uncovered the truth?”
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"Didn’t I ?"
Aarav stares at her for a long moment before speaking.
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"You uncovered enough to make dangerous people nervous.
That’s worse."
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"You’re one of those dangerous people."
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"Not tonight."
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"And what’s that supposed to mean?”
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
* pulls out his phone and places it in front of her*
A photo appears on the screen
It’s Meher leaving work earlier that evening.
Meher Kapoor(FL)
*Stares in shock for a few seconds*
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"….What the hell?"
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"You’re being followed."
Meher Kapoor(FL)
*expression hardens*
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"You expect me to believe you suddenly care?"
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"No.
But you should believe that if someone wanted you dead, your apartment door wouldn’t stop them."
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"Are you threatening me again?"
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"I’m offering you protection."
Meher Kapoor(FL)
"I’d rather trust a shark"
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
*smirks faintly*
Aarav Malhotra(ML)
"You already are"
