"Did you knew about it??" She roared commanding answers from her husband, whom she trusted. Ayansh turned his face away avoiding to look in her eyes, for the very first time he had no clarification to give. Even the people sitting at the meeting table were stunned by the audacity of a woman to question the man who is no less than a time ticking bomb. "We'll talk about this later at home.." He tried to convince her, not because he was embarrassed or cared about his reputation in the room filled with high ranking people. Cause the sight of his little wife screaming, slapping and taunting him was only meant for him, these vultures sitting in a three piece suit don't deserve to see his amore in her Tigress era. "No I want to clear everything right here.... Aur agar.." She was not given enough time to complete when one of the board members cut her off. "Sir aurton ko jitni bhi respect do vo utna hi sarr parr chad jati h.." He spoke laughing along with the other members on the table. Ayansh clenched his fist tightly turning his bright red eyes towards them. "How dare you interrupt her.. huhh?? You all should know this thing very clearly! This company is owned by ME and I'm owned by HER.. a slight disrespect towards my wife and I won't take a second to behead each and every one of you.." Ayansh's words echoed in the meeting hall. . . . "I had no option but to do this Ayansh.. I'm sorry" Avani cried aiming the gun towards Ayansh. "I can never doubt you.. but make sure to kill me in one shot but if not then no one can save you from me Darling" He smiled sarcastically, blood dripping off his head. A gun shot could be heard in the silent room and everything turned black. . . . TROPES..
