In the mansion...

The mansion was covered with darkness, there were few vintage designed bulbs burning at the corners of the wall. The mansion was lit up with it's bright chandelier, When there was car's horn sound.

It was a late night , when Priya reached the mansion. Hand overing her jacket to Selina she asked " Did grandpa slept ?". Nodding to her she answered "Yes, Miss. Master slept an hour back ".

" Bring a glass of hot water to my room". Ordering to Selina, Priya walked to her room.

There was a beautiful vase filled with rare beautiful flowers which were giving a charmness to the room, near it there was a chocolate box on the table. Seeing this Priya was bit confused , meanwhile Selina entered the room. Turning towards her, Priya asked about the flowers and the chocolate which had occupied a place on her table.

" Massi had sent it, she said it was given as a vote of thanks by a stranger gentleman named Mick" Saying this Selina gave her water. When Priya heard the word 'Mick ' there was a smile on her face which appeared without knowing to her.

" Miss, can , I bring the dinner here only? ". Selina asked in a low ton. Priya raised her hand and moved her fingers gesturing her to walk out from the room. Without uttering word Selina followed her order.

Closing the door Priya started her night care routine. She changed her outfit to a night PJ . Sitting in front of mirror she started to brush her long thick black hair and started her skin care routine.

Priya used to follow her night routine which would start from self care and end with the journal entry and the planning for the next day.

Her journal writting was always in the form of pottery or in the riddle . The words were seemed simple but it had many hidden meaning. Finishing her self care routine, Priya started to check her schedule and she made sure to reply all the important mailes of the day. She took her phone and messaged Eva to take half day leave as she was still in the hang over.

After dealing with the goon Priya headed to the pub in the city . She had a drink with Eva as a friend. The place was filled with bright colors, Priya and Eva had a talk like friends who had met after many years, they had a fun and even a drinks game where Eva ended up loosing the game. The bodyguards were bewildered seeing Priya's friendly nature with her assistant. This nature was completely different from the other , when she was dealing with the goon. They thought to themselves that dealing with her is going to be hard.

It was early in the morning when the boxing ring was occupied by three skilled people. They were filled with sweate, though they were tiered but they were not ready to accept the defeat. Priya was attacking on her bodyguards and they were defending from her move. Each and every move was powerful, if it wouldn't be a strong men like them, the other would have accept the defeat easily.

They were practicing the skill from past two hours , without taking any kind of break. If any out side person seeing them would say that , they will stop their fight after taking each other's life. In such a graceful and powerful manner they were practicing.

Selina came there with a protein drink for them. Seeing Priya she said " Good morning Miss, there is a invitation for you . I have placed it in your room Miss". Wiping her sweat with the towel Priya said " Alright, keep the breakfast ready I'll leave in 30min". Saying this priya went to her room.

The invitation was waiting for her on her table, it was wrapped with a bold color paper box. After unwrapping the box ,there was a invitation card for the party and a Champagne With it. The invitation was about the party which was going to held in the Paris.

There were many five start restaurants and resorts under the control of Mathew family, at the same time even they holds a shares with other restaurants. To be a part of the event was a kind of great thing.

Reading the invitation card Priya folded her hand to her chest and started to think for few seconds.
