Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess

Days went by but Shreya's face kept popping up in Charan's head all the time. For the whole week after the incident evidences against Defense Minister Rakesh kept popping up. News reported about his illegal arms deal with terrorist and other corrupt deals he had approved throughout his period of office and everything came out with irrefutable evidences. And the fact that he went missing just added fuel to the already flaming fume. It enraged people. But none of them could find him. And people typically assumed he went into hiding in order to escape.

And the week after news on his son popped up. This was extremely scandalous but none of the evidence came to public. All public knew was he was arrest under **** charges of a minor kid. Without his dad's support he couldn't fight it. And the ruling party in order to keep the air of justice in front of the public prosecuted him swiftly. In order to be prevented their selves from being dragged into the public outrage, they penalized him very strictly and did it in a public way and diverted the public attention.

But none of the reports involved Shreya. It was as if none of them even dared to report her name even when they knew that she had orc.h.e.s.trated the whole thing from behind the scene. That is when Charan realized the true depth of the power she wielded.

He was still reeling on the fact as to how she had crushed such a powerful family in just one night's time. He knew Rakesh was not some small time politician. He had a wealthy backing. He came from generations of money. He wielded power both on the surface and underground. That is why he did everything so blatantly without any fear. So Charan was already impressed with Shreya when he got to know that she was the reason why the guy's family companies went bankrupt. But seeing what she did to him in the past two weeks, he was simply blown away.

Maybe that is why her face never left his head in two weeks. He kept spacing out at all odd hours. Shreya's one expressions one after other kept bombarding on his head. Her joyous smile when they were on the rooftop, her domineering presence when she dealt with the kidnapping and her gently one when she looked at Akira everything came in front of his eyes in flashes from time to time. And her meek slightly begging voice when she asked if he would call her practically haunted him.

Unconsciously he caught himself Googling her pictures. They were her earlier year pictures. She had completely disappeared from public view in the past couple of years. All business events were always attended only by Mr. Anand Srivastav- Shreya's uncle. In the public's view she had settled down somewhere quiet. If only they know she was the one wielding the sword behind the scenes, they will be swarming her like a bee.

Even that day, he was looking at her photo on his phone when Akira stumbled towards him taking a peek at his screen.

"She is pretty." Akira said in her cute clear voice.

Charan looked at her adorable face with a smile. He scooped her into his l.a.p.s and asked, "Oh yea?? You like her??"

Akira bobbed her head frantically and said, "She looks like a princess."

"I know baby." Charan said and kissed her on top of her head.

They both stayed quiet for a while.

"Do you miss her??" Akira asked once again with her brows frowned.

"Why do you say that??" Charan asked slightly surprised.

"You used to stare at mom's photo the same way." Akira said with a serious expression.

Charan froze for a second. Suddenly his behavior in the past weeks made sense. Can it be just that simple?? Was he just missing her??

"Did she go to heaven too??" Akira asked bringing him back from his shocked stupor.

"No baby." Charan replied shaking his head.

"Then you just go and see her. Why are you staring at her picture??"Akira asked crunching her brows once again rendering Charan speechless.

Can things really be that simple?? Was he just unnecessarily over complicating things?? He could not even count the number of times he had stared at Samantha's picture desperately wishing it would come to life by some miracle when she passed away. But things were not the same with Shreya. She was here and she was a call away so why was he thinking so much???

He looked down at Akira. She was looking at Shreya's picture with a big goofy grin. Suddenly it felt as if he was just using Akira as an excuse to protect himself. It was apparent from one single night how much Shreya would love and cherish Akira. In all honesty Shreya would probably end up pampering her more than him. He could swear with certainty that she protect Akira with all her might. She showed it to him even before meeting Akira. What more can he ask for???

He suddenly felt he was just being a coward. He was just scared of being hurt. Yes Shreya's background was overwhelming but she was still with his reach unlike Samantha. So what was actually stopping him?? Nothing actually! He was just afraid to be left behind again.

"Hey, you want to meet her??" he asked Akira coming to a resolve.

Akira bobbed her head immediately. But after thinking for a while she asked, "Can we talk to her now??"

Charan looked at the time. It was just 6 pm. He was sure that Shreya was still busy. Running a business institution like Sri Corporations should come with long hours. After all it was not some small time company. They had ventured into all the nook and crannies of the country. And they dominated every industry they ever ventured into. So he hesitated a bit.

"Pleeaassee," Akira begged him with her signature puppy dog eyes.

His hesitation crumpled just like that. He took his phone and called her swiftly.
