I gasped loudly and clasped my hands to my chest.
“There’s the solution to my problems,” I cried.
Veer took one step back warily.
“Who? Me?”
I shot him a scathing glance and rolled my eyes in response.
“Don’t flatter yourself, Laajwanti. I meant him,” I replied, referring to the man who had walked into the room behind Veer.
His Highness Ranvijay Rathore, Maharaja of Mirpur.
Nandini Aunty’s son.
I ran past Veer and threw myself at Ranvijay who laughed loudly as he twirled me around before giving me a tight hug.
CHAPTER 10
VEER
Ranvijay had been my classmate at Eton, and I’d always considered him a decent sort of chap. But as I saw him wrap his arms around Isha and twirl her around, I realised I was grossly mistaken in my judgment. He was a sneaky bastard!
I wanted to rip her out of his arms and set her firmly behind me so he couldn’t get his dirty paws on her ever again, but even I knew that wasn’t going to go over so well. Not with Isha and definitely not with the nosy aunties staring at the two lovebirds with approval.
“Hey, you,” murmured Ranvijay, staring into Isha’s eyes like a lovesick fool.
“I’m so glad you’re here,” replied Isha, hugging him tightly.
Seriously? It’s not like he was Vishnu’s tenth avatar who had come to rescue us from ghor kalyug. He was just a lawyer. There was no reason for her to still keep touching him.
I was tempted to kick the backstabbing rat back to Mumbai. He was supposed to be my friend, here to help me out. And not for free. I was paying him a fortune for every minute he was here. He could flirt with Isha on his time, not on mine.
“Can you step away from Ranvijay, please? He’s here to work, not flirt,” I said severely.
As soon as I spoke, Isha, our mothers and Nandini Aunty turned to stare at me in shock. I hadn’t intended to sound so harsh. But I refused to stand by silently while she made googly eyes at my lawyer on my time.
Ranvijay merely raised his eyebrows in surprise and stared at me thoughtfully.
Isha rolled her eyes at me and turned back to him.
“I need your help, RV.”
“Anything for you, darling,” he replied with a warm smile.
“I need you to help me break a will.”
“Sure. Send me a copy and I’ll do whatever I can,” he promised.
Hmph. I bet he would. I growled under my breath and my mother frowned at me.
“It’s an ironclad will, beta,” she informed Ranvijay. “I don’t think even you can find a loophole.”
“Never say never, Aunty. There’s a solution to every problem,” he replied.
“How about finding a solution to my problem first?” I asked sarcastically, and the bastard shook his head disapprovingly.
“Don’t be so selfish, Veer,” he teased.
