Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess

Shreya forgot everything else as she held on to the bundle of joy and Akira reciprocated it with the same vigor. Bharath stood there gaping at them both who was completely ignored.

Akira had pleaded, begged and brown-nosed him until he agreed to bring her here. And of course, she also had endless praises for him all the way here. But as soon as she saw Shreya, she had completely forgotten about his existence altogether.

When he looked up, he was met with his brother having an identical expression.

"We are also here you know…" Bharath said sarcastically standing beside his brother.

Shreya and Akira pulled away at last and came back to their senses. That is when Akira notices her dad and she pulled away from Shreya and landed on Charan's arms.

While Shreya, on the other hand, smiled at Bharath and gave him a nice warm hug as always.

But Bharath did not return the hug. He just stood there sulking.

"What is this?? Consolation prize??" He asked sarcastically. In the two months they have known each other, somehow Shreya just crept into his life and made a space for herself. They even hung out by themselves a couple of times. But she was yet to officially meet up with Preethi. Somehow they seem to miss each other. Shreya had come over two times to their house after the first official meet and she had charmed them all with her spell very elegantly. But the most affected was Bharath and Akil.

Bharath did not even know how taken he was with her. The age difference between him and Preethi was quite big. SO his sister had always been more of a mother figure than a sibling. She was strict and disciplined him like a responsible a.d.u.l.t she was. Same went for Charan. SO between both his siblings, he never had a partner in crime or someone to goof around with him and be irresponsible.

So for someone like that Shreya was like a long lost buddy he had been waiting for. She did not lecture him about the consequences and responsibilities but instead, she came up with crazier ideas and did them with a sly smile.

"You don't have to sulk… we are still on for Friday night... But we can always cancel if you are angry with me!!" Shreya said slyly ruffling his hairs. Bharath's face instantly lit up and became pale when she said she was going to cancel it.

"No… no-no… I am not angry at all. Only a moron will get angry at you. See I am not angry. I am even hugging you…" Bharath instantly brown-nosed her and returned the hug. In his enthusiasm, he even lifted her off of her feet.

"I don't need your 'consolation prize'. I have work next Friday…" Shreya sulked back.

That was all it took, Bharath followed around her like a lost puppy for the rest of the night trying to convince her for whatever they had planned.

Charan's jaws dropped. That is when he completely came to know how charmed his whole family was of her and for the love of God, he did not know how she did it. But then, he himself did not know how he fell so in love with her, so he was in no place to complain about his family.

Just as Bharath bid goodbye, Shreya pulled him away and whispered something in his ears with a mischievous smile playing in her lips.

Charan was really scared of that look.

"What are you two troublemakers planning on??" He asked as soon as Bharath left.

Shreya winked and said slyly, "That's between me and him."

"Do whatever you guys want but I am not coming to bail you guys out that's all!!" Charan said nonchalantly and slung his arms around her shoulders.

"Do you really think I am so irresponsible!!?? Of course, I am going to be calling Harshad! What's the point of calling you?? You need a lawyer to bail you out." Shreya said in a matter of fact voice.

Charan just shook his heads exasperated. For a second there when she said she was not irresponsible, he actually thought she was going to say something along the line of not doing anything crazy enough to get arrested but then he should have known better.

"Shreya… Just make sure you both come back home in one piece okay??" Charan asked holding on to the last sliver of hope for his own sanity.

"Promise," Shreya said, at last, giving him some peace of mind.

Charan sighed in relief and went to the kitchen. Of course, Shreya followed him hot on his trails. They did not talk much once Akira and Bharath came over. Shreya was too busy with Akira and Bharath.

Just as Charan reached for the milk he felt her arms twining around his torso while her small face rested against his back. She was unnaturally clingy today.

"What is it?? I am just getting you some warm milk…" Charan said putting his own hands over hers.

Shreya did not reply. She just stood there unmoving. Charan couldn't move to warm the milk with her standing like that. So he tried to pry her hands away but she tightened them instead.

"Shreya… what is it??" Charan asked cluelessly.

"I forgot to tell you something…" Shreya said in a serious voice.

"What is it??" Charan asked back.

"I love you too…" Shreya said in the softest voice with smiling eyes. Sadly Charan couldn't see them. But just with her voice, his heart did a somersault. If he had seen her face, his heart probably would have done something crazier.

Charan smiled and pulled her hands away and turned to look at her. Shreya beamed at him just like he always imagined she would when he finally confessed. She looked like the happiest person there is. And that happiness infected Charan and he beamed back at her. He then gave her a peck on her temple and wrapped her in his arms tightly.

Finding that person who is ready to share their whole life with you is nothing short of a miracle and Shreya knew that. That is why she was not taking this for granted.

She can literally make anything happen in this country with just one phone call. That is the kinda power she had wielded in her hands and more than anyone, she was well aware of the extent of her powers. But what she found with Charan and Akira was something that overpowered and outweighed that power. All her power and all her wealth sourly lost to the kind of happiness and peace Akira and Charan brought into her life and she was eternally grateful for that.
