"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I muttered in panic, trying repeatedly to login into Ravi's secret bank account. But the website refused to accept the credentials, with a pop-up announcing that they had been reset.
'Did Ravi find out?'
I was getting more anxious as the minutes went by, but I knew that it was not a glitch. Ravi had regained access to his bank account.
I then logged into his personal email hoping that he had not changed the password there. Luckily, I still had access and a quick run through his emails showed me what had happened!
The bank had registered my takeover of Ravi's account as a suspicious activity and sent Ravi a notification email asking him to reset it. Harmless enough, he probably thought it was a phishing attempt, but as I scanned through the rest of the emails, I saw the transaction alerts showing that he had started emptying the accounts already!
"Shit!!!" I cursed aloud as I slammed my fist on my desk, the realization that I'd screwed up finally hitting me.
I had been careless and arrogant, believing that I was smarter than them when I should have known better. I had thought that he would use the money just before the buy-out, but he wasn't an amateur. He knew that I was on to him, and the minute he received that alert, he acted.
Now he's cleaned it up and moved the rest of the money into a shell account that I had not yet found. I slumped in my chair, staring at the computer screen in disbelief; I was defeated!
"Everything Ok?" Nora's soft voice startled me.
I looked back to see her standing at the door, dressed in a simple white salwar kameez, her hair damp from the shower. She didn't have any make-up on, but she still looked gorgeous, and my heart skipped a beat when she smiled sweetly with her cute dimples.
I tried to compose myself and smiled back at her weakly, "It's nothing... Don't worry about it!" I didn't want to worry her. But I guess my expression must have given something away. Nora raised her eyebrows and walked over, placing a gentle kiss on my cheek before wrapping her arms around me and straddling me on the chair.
Her beautiful face was inches away from my own, her soft lips curled into a slight smile, and she looked deep into my eyes, "Tell me... I know you're hiding something."
"The door is open! Someone might see us..." I warned her, glancing at the open doorway.
"Don't worry. It's just us at home today! Pankaj is with Tara for his physio, and Jhanvi is out with Pooja, shopping for clothes for the reunion." Nora said, leaning forward and capturing my lips in a soft kiss. We kissed for a good minute, my tension fading into the background as Nora's tongue danced with mine.
When we finally broke our kiss, panting slightly, Nora cupped my chin, forcing me to look into her eyes, and said, "Talk to me, Master <3!"
I looked at the concern in her eyes and sighed, "I lost the money..." I told her everything that had happened, and how Ravi must have discovered it the minute he got the alert from the Bank. Nora frowned when I finished talking, looking deep in thought for a couple of seconds while she chewed her lower lip nervously.
"Do you know what he's planning to do with it?" Nora finally asked, her voice filled with anxiety.
"Yes, I've figured out that much. He still needs to buy 20% more shares of the company in the open market to reach the critical 51% mark to take over. That's what the money that was being stolen from our accounts was for, plus the money borrowed from Shah Rukh..."
"If Ravi has emptied the accounts..." she began but I interrupted her.
"Don't worry, he doesn't have enough money yet. Even with Oberoi's support, he still needs at least twice of what they've gathered, and I think I know how he plans to get that." I explained, "The easiest and fastest way to make the money is through insider trading and some sabotage!"
"Sabotage!?" Nora asked with a confused frown on her forehead.
I explained my theory, "Well, in a few weeks our quarterly profits are being released, and if Ravi rigs the reports with Narayan's help, he can manipulate the share prices and earn a huge profit in just one shot!" I explained further, "Then with that money he will buy our shares at rock bottom prices for pennies on the dollar!"
"Will it work?!"
"It's definitely going to happen if I don't stop him. I was planning to steal the money after I had taken care of Kishore but now, I may need to tip my hand and reveal things to Dad. I'm worried about how he'll take it, given his weak heart!"
"What if you don't have to do that? I think there is another way!" Nora said, surprising me, "You said you need to prevent the share prices from crashing, right? What if instead of fudging the results to make the quarter look bad, can't we instead fake a really good quarter and show profits that will shoot the share price up! Won't that wipe out Ravi's shorts?"
I looked up at her in surprise, "But how? Narayan is firmly in Ravi and Kishore's pockets. Plus, even after that, we still end up losing all the money that Kishore stole!"
"You can leave Narayan to me! I will make sure that he flips to our side. And regarding the money we lost, what if we bet on our shares the other way? We go long on Kapoor Enterprises and short sell Oberoi!" she suggested.
"That's Brilliant!" I exclaimed, "But are you sure you can flip Narayan?"
"Oh please, that man is a grade-A pervert. All I need to do is tease him a little and he'll be eating from my hands," she said with an evil grin. "Leave it to me, you just need to figure out how to get the money to play our own little stock game. It needs to be discreet so that Ravi or Kishore don't catch on!"
"You know what, this just might work. You're a genius!" I said, kissing her on her cheeks, my mood was already lifting.
Nora giggled happily as she wrapped her arms around my neck and leaned close, her lips hovering inches from mine. "I am more than just a pretty face, you know?"
"You are so much more than that..." I said as my eyes locked with hers.
"I'm your very own sexy, GENIUS slut! And you better not forget it, Suraj!" she purred as she stood up and slowly began undressing for me. I gulped as she slowly pulled her kameez off, revealing her juicy tits in her sexy white bra.
"Now if you are done with all that worrying about Ravi... Can you concentrate on something even more important?"
"And what would that be?" I asked with a smirk, as I looked lustfully at her sexy curvy body, clad only in a white bra and salwaar.
"Like letting your slut worship your big cock that I love so much, Master <3!" She said seductively with an evil grin.
