Akash knocked on Shreya's doors. He got a call from her suddenly asking him to come to her office early on Sunday morning. The whole building was deserted. But as soon as he pushed the doors to her office, ear-splitting music boomed all around the walls. And Shreya was sleeping soundly on the couch.

Akash let out a sigh and took the remote and first switched off the music. He was lost as to how she could actually sleep with such loud noise but then with Shreya, she couldn't fall asleep without this chaotic noise. And the past month had been hectic for her. Between watching Akira and the company, she barely had a couple of hours of sleep a day.

Only this weekend, Charan insisted on taking Akira to his mother's place. So she got a break and he felt helpless when he found out that she spent that break in her office instead of going home. He went to the adjacent room and brought her a blanket and a pillow. He did not even know why she bothered to put up a room for herself in the office if she was just going to sleep on the couch.

Just when Akash lifted her head to properly lay her head down on the pillow Shreya suddenly sat up straight bumping onto his head.

"Ouch…" Akash said rubbing on his head with one hand while doing the same over Shreya's head with his other hand.

At last, some of the grogginess cleared away and Shreya focused on her surroundings.

"Are you okay?" Akash asked as soon as Shreya looked up at him.

"Yup… Just give me a few; I will go refresh and come." Shreya said and wobbled away.

After a few minutes, she came back and sat on the chair leisurely with her legs crossed. She had a sense of arrogance when she sat in that chair. It had always been like that. It's after all her father's chair.

She passed Akash, a file and sat there leisurely with both her hands rested over the armrest.

"What is it??" Akash asked flipping through the paper.

"Share transfer papers… You now have 60 % shareholding in S corp." Shreya said nonchalantly as if this was something normal for her. But it was not so for Akash. He was shell shocked and could not clearly comprehend what she just said. He just gaped at her for a while.

But once he came back to his senses, "What???" Akash asked shocked and finally focused on the papers and skimmed through them.

"How did you get them??" he asked looking up at her.

He always thought their conflict with S corp was done and dusted when she found all the evidence of their financial frauds and handed them over to the authorities. It became a big scandal and almost most of the top management of the company was behind bars now. He was actually waiting for the news of the company becoming bankrupt at any moment now. But who knew Shreya had a bigger plan.

"Of course with the compensation money I got from those two good-for-nothing directors we had," Shreya said nonchalantly.

"But it won't have been enough to buy 60% stakes!!" Akash asked frowning.

"Well I destroyed it first didn't I?? I actually have excess money from the compensation we got!" Shreya asked slyly but then grinned from ear to ear the next moment utterly proud of herself.

Akash jaws dropped.

"Let me get this straight… you destroyed the company and made the share prices drop and then bought them??" Akash asked in disbelief.

"Yes… and anyways you have to follow up on the takeover hereafter. My work is done. Rest you handle it. You would have to probably crash their meeting tomorrow. The details are in the file. I am going to go home now." Shreya said casually as if she did not just take over one of the largest enterprises in the country without batting an eye.

She then got up from the chair and walked out leaving a very confused Akash behind.

Akash called his dad.

"Dad, do you know what your dear daughter did??" he asked straight off the bat.

"What are you blabbering so early on a Sunday morning???" Anand asked irritated.

"She bought S corp," Akash said rolling his eyes. He knew his dad. He never got out of the bed until it's at least noon on any given Sunday unless he had to come to the office or if Shreya was coming over.

Anand sat up straight in the bed surprised but then he did not expect any less from Shreya. Then he thought of something.

"I am not managing another company," Anand said dryly.

That's when it hit him. Shreya bought this company in his name which means he has to be the one managing it.

"Shit shit shit…" Akash cursed.

"What happened??" Anand asked.

"She bought the shares in my name!" Akash replied to his dad.

Anand blanked for a second before letting out a laugh. It was a known fact that Shreya was lazy. She is quick and crazy smart but when it came to daily routine monotonous works, she will be easily irritated and walk out. That is why Anand is responsible for the daily management of Sri corp even though Shreya is the one who approves which projects to take and which ones to drop. And S corp is almost as big as their own company which means Akash has to put up as many hours as Anand hereafter.

Anand was incomplete mirth with just the thought of this. His son was after all known to goof around. He did not have any sense of responsibility. So he partied around a lot unless it was something Shreya ordered him to do.

So he being in charge of a whole company should be very fun to watch and he knew for a fact that Akash did not have to guts to refuse Shreya.

"Don't be too happy!" Akash said irritated as he longingly said goodbye to his carefree goofing around days.

"Well, I am just happy that there is still someone out there who could actually make a proper man out of you," Anand said with a huge smile and instantly cut the call.

He got out of the bed and danced his way to his kitchen searching for his wife.

"Bhagyaaa." He called out excited startling his wife.

"What??? Why are you up so early and why are you howling and waking up the neighbors??" Bhagya asked seeing her husband.

"If you know what happened, you will be the happiest. Shreya, at last, put a leash on your son??" He said without bothering to acknowledge his wife's glare.

"What happened??" Bhagya asked looking at her husband suspiciously.

"She bought him a company! Hahaha." Anand said enthusiastically.

"How does it account as Shreya putting a leash on our goofball son??" Bhagya asked confused.

"You do not understand. She actually bought all the shares in Akash's name. So he will obviously be the person fully in charge of the company. Which means regular working hours… which means less time to party and more responsibility… But the most amusing part is, she did it right under his nose and he did not even realize it until I pointed out." Anand said in high spirit.

The bulb, at last, lit up on the top of Bhagya's head. Her lips curved unconsciously.

"Atta girl!!" She praised Shreya and went away to call her.

Nobody is going to be happier than Anand and Bhagya to see their son be responsible. It is not that he was a bad kid… it's just Shreya shouldered the responsibility at a very young age that their own kids grew up spoiled by her. And it was about time Akash shouldered the responsibility with her as her elder brother.

And Akash had undeterred admiration towards Shreya… so much so that he would not refuse anything she ever said. But because of it, he never listens to anyone else either... he does not even listen to his own parents. So it was a two-edged sword since Shreya never demanded anything tedious out of him. But now that things have changed, they were literally on cloud nine.

At times, Bhagya really feared what would happen to her family without Shreya in it… that picture was really very terrifying to even imagine.
