Enduring Fragments – Scene 4

MK was then escorted with the other players to the VVIP zone of the casino, finally arriving at the table where GH awaited him. In the dim light and with his mask on, she saw him as just another billionaire. However, as he approached, she could sense that this man was exceptionally handsome.

MK went and stood at GH’s table. His men behind him and Rajan and other men behind GH.

“MK, you men cannot be here with you. It has to be just between you and GH”

MK simply nodded but his right hand man came forward “Then GH has to be alone as well.”

“Sure, but we will keep a watch from camera a far”

MK’s right hand, Aditya was about to speak something but MK gave him the calm look, indicating to let it go.

So all of them left the place and GH and MK were left alone. Rajan settled in his room with his team to observe the game between MK and GH.

The moment GH found herself alone with MK, her gaze fell on the well-built man in front of her. She couldn’t see his face, as he wore a mask and hadn’t turned toward her. This was unusual; all the players who had come to compete with her had always kept their eyes on her, even behind their masks. GH had always used this to her advantage, looking deeply into their eyes to instill a sense of hope for a lasting connection, elevating their desires and drawing them into the game until they were on the brink of losing everything.

But this MK, even if she cannot see his face, he gave her deja vu of someone she didn’t want to remember, his height, his overall structure. Yes, Mk structure seemed more stout than him and she knows an angle like him, innocent like him cannot be MK. Mk, as she has heard is very strong hearted and cunning, has innumerable girls in his life, he was exactly opposite. But why is she even comparing her angle to this MK. Why this man has reminded her of him, after ages. 

“Shhh GH, don’t lose your ground. This man just has some similar structure. He had and will always have power over you, not this MK. Be in game and win in it”

Determined GH stated “let’s start the Game” He signaled from hand,not even giving a single glance at her

The game started and GH easily won. Wow, mostly she looks into the eyes of the player and they lose half of their game there. She plays tricks with her hand, mind and eyes. This one didn’t meet her eyes, still he lost. She knew this one would soon lose everything. Disappointed – one more loser in her kitty. 

Next four games happened and GH went on winning while this proud MK still increased the money of the game. She concluded him to be a simply the born rich who had no value of money and was finding way to drown the legacy money.

Ranjan on the other side of the camera was so proud of GH. But her not winning, means she escapes from his bed once again. But the easy win of GH made the game look more boring.

After three hours of game and four wins, GH looked up to ask – if he really wants to play further. But to her surprise MK’s eyes this time were looking straight into her eyes behind the mask.

GH stumbled for a moment but soon gathered herself on her leg but her heart. His one look into her and  her heart and mind were completely out of  place.

“Maa-aan” she mouthed. He kept looking at her with no change in expression.

The mask did not have the capability to hide him from her. Those beautiful M shaped lips of his, his deep brown orbs digging into her. Why is he here in this dangerous place? How stupid of her, he is here for her. Her Maan found her out. But it is not safe for him. These people are so dangerous and this Ranjan, if he knows MK is Maan, he will abolish him. No she cannot let him be here. She is dying to be saved but not at the stake of Maan and his life. No way.

“You are losing, can we end this Game?” GH said trying to get him out of this place soon. But she found his eyes bore on her body. She realized how shamelessly she is dressed. Ohh Gosh, before this he had also witnessed her shameless dance. He knows she stays here as Ranjan’s girl. Is there any end to her hurting him again and again? He should hate her and that’s what she deserves. But at this moment, she has to make him lose badly so that he does not have to face that lethal Ranjan. She has already made the biggest mistake of her life by making him lose over Ranjan back then. She cannot give Ranjan another chance to win. She has to defeat him and get him away from this place.

“Next Game, please “ came his stone-like voice, breaking her thoughts. 

“You are already losing, this is not your cup of tea” she said with a straight face so that Ranjan watching through the camera cannot find any difference. But only she knew how broken she felt at this moment. Seeing him in front of her eyes after ages, an impossible dream in front of her eyes but she cannot go and hug him tight.  Cannot tell him how sorry she is for choosing this bastard over him, how she is dying for hurting him so badly.  

She could clearly see, he simply hated her to the core and now more after seeing her this shameless in front of all.

“Next game please, or I consider that you accept defeat “

Starting to distribute the card , she looked down, keeping poker face

“Get away from this place. It’s not for you”

Without giving her any reaction he started his game. And this time he surprised her by the place from where he cut the pack. 

MK won smoothly. GH tried hard to trick him but he won. Ranjan and his team were watching the game.

In the next rounds, MK continued to win effortlessly against invincible GH, as if slicing through butter with a hot knife. At first, GH put in great effort to turn the tide, but soon it became clear that nothing was within her control. The casino was taking a massive hit from MK’s relentless victories. This wasn’t just a game with small stakes; there was substantial money on the line. While GH’s game had the potential to elevate the casino, today’s losses threatened to bring it all crashing down.

GH was losing her heart completely; she found herself enjoying the thrill of losing to him. It wasn’t just about the game—it was about losing herself as well. She realized that Ranjan didn’t stand a chance against him. Maan had truly come prepared to win her back, but his cold demeanor was unsettling. It was the kind of coldness she knew she deserved from him, but as it seeped into her very core, it felt like it was chilling her to the bone.

Ranjan was now scared with the way MK was sweeping the game away from the invincible GH. While he was deciding if he should enter that game with MK or not. He can only try to win but 95% probability was Mk will sweep him as well. He will anyway not get GH. He cannot affort to bring his casino to an even bigger loss. He could not imagine after all these years of not being able to win her today he himself will hand over GH to MK

He immediately came down “MK you won. We end the game here. You win and GH is yours”

Ranjan knew the power of Mk very well. MK could destroy him into ashes. He decided to hand over GH to MK without any game plan.

Next – Driving back to the hotel together in his luxury Limousine.
