With Love, xxxx. by Varshitha Kancharla (trending books to read .TXT) 📖

“Heard a lot of things about you. You didn’t change.” Nik said looking into Ryan’s eyes. 

“But you changed a lot, Nik. Going for shopping, roaming the entire city that too without any security.” Ryan said angrily. 

“I don’t need security anymore. I left everything. I don’t have any threats now. I’m peaceful unlike you.” 

“But you are still my brother. Anything can happen to you.” Ryan gritted his teeth.

“Ryan! I’m living happily with my family. Most of the people even forgot about me. I’m living a normal life like a normal person.” 

“So your family doesn’t include me?” 

“No. From the moment you rejected when I asked you to leave everything, I erased you from my life.” 

“Whatever! The heir is cute. Must train him how to fight and hold weapons.” Ryan smirked. 

Nik clenched his fist listening to him. He then shouted “He is my kid. My child. Not the heir of your dark empire.” 

Ryan laughed looking at him. He said “You look happy, Nik. Without me.” 

“Yes I am. Because I don’t have to kill people anymore. I’m living my life without any tensions or threats. I have my family with me.” 

Ryan became silent listening to Nik. After a minute Nik broke the silence asking “So, what about you?” 

“You know everything about me. What’s more to tell?” 

“Of course! The same cold hearted, evil little brother who kills everyone remorseless, without feeling a bit of affection or love in his life. Yeah! I know everything.” 

Ryan smirked at his words and said “Yeah! The same Ryan.” 

“I know. You guys never change. You’ll never understand the feeling of peace or love. You will never know how it would feel if we are surrounded with peace and the people whom we love and adores.” 

The words love and adore made Ryan recall Kathleen. He then shouted “You are right. I won’t change and I don’t want to feel the shit you say. Yes! I don’t want anyone in my life. I don’t want to put them in trouble just because of a stupid desire of having them in my life.” 

Nik laughed listening to him and said “If you won’t have the person in your life whom you adores, even if you can have them, then what’s the point of living?” 

“So you adore your family?” 

“I love my family. I love my wife and my child.” 

“You gave a very great speech, Nik. A final question. How do you protect your family from the people like me?” Ryan smirked.

“I’ll kill each and everyone who hurts them, I don’t mind even if the person is you. I’ll protect and fight for them till my last breath.” 

Saying that, Nik stood from the chair. He then started leaving but before he went out he told Ryan “There is a thing called love that makes us think and care more about a particular person and starts changing us. A guy like you will never understand.” 

Ryan sat silent recalling his words. His every word was making Ryan to remember Kathleen. He walked to Neil then they both started to mansion. 

Neil noticed Ryan thinking about something deeply. He asked “What did you talk?” 

“A stupid conversation.” 

“But you are thinking about it, which means it’s not a stupid conversation.” Neil said driving. 

“I just remembered Kathleen while we were talking.”

Then they both drove off to their mansion.

Kathleen took a deep breath looking at her reflection in the mirror. She put her hands on her face and stood still for a moment. She got ready to go to a publishing house as they sent the mail yesterday asking her to meet them. 
It’s not the first time she got such a mail asking for the meet. But she felt scared and nervous as every time after the meet, her book got rejected. Whenever she saw the mail her spirits lifted up but after the rejection she felt like dead inside. 

Nina already left and Kathleen stepped out of the house. The cab arrived and after an hour she reached the place. She sat on the chair and kept waiting for any good news or the words she always hear after she went there.
