An identity by impersonating

Arik wasn't the one who would console others so was irritated by the situation, "Who told you the father of the child is dead?" He tried his best not to raise the voice.

Mega looked at him and blinked her eyes rapidly, "The news…all people…are saying that Neil, CEO of ANB had an accident and…and…Is he alive?? Was the news fake??" Her voice was still quivering but expectations were increasing within her.

"Bro, you are giving her hope and will shatter it later. You are being cruel to her. Let me deal with her, you stay away." Shikhar whispered to Arik.

As Arik moved a few steps back, his phone vibrated. Josh had sent him a message.

"Brother, talk with her. I need to handle something." Arik walked out of the ward to the living room.

Josh had sent him some documents related to the board of members of ANB Corps. After arriving at Grasal City, Arik had given him the task to work on ANB Corps, investigating the board of members and their suspicious activities within the Corps. None should dare to snatch what was his or his family's.

As an observer, Josh didn't stop people from rioting or joining hands with rivals. He was watching each and every people movement within the corporation and reporting it back to Arik.

It has been about five days since that incident and Arik returned back to Grasal City. The people in the Grasal mafia and ANB Corps were being uncontrollable and fighting with each other to get the greatest benefit. Arik hadn't made any movement to stop their ambitions but was watching their movements clearly and investigating each and every related person.

Vik had gathered Neil's and his father's loyal people and had entered the mafia world, Noah had joined in his journey of the underworld. Ryan had returned back to his task and was observing unusual movements within the City. The people with some authority were trying their best to dominate the old man and abdicate his position.

The movements were turning more fierce and Arik had to make a move very soon. He hadn't had enough sleep for a long time. Making a small peg of drink, Arik tried to formulate a plan. He had to act in such a way that he could undertake the lord position of Grasal mafia, highest authority in ANB Corps and Grasal City at the same time. No one should get a chance to strike back or retaliate.

The only problem for him was what identity he should use to deal with the issue. His former identity is of no use, none know him as Arik or the old man's godson. He was lost in thought when Shikhar approached.

Shikar didn't speak but took a seat, made a peg for himself and sipped slowly. He was looking at Arik from the corner of his eyes and massaging his forehead. He seemed to be conflicted. Being a doctor, he was more conscious about his health. Something must be out of his control for him to drink.

"Brother Shikar, did you do anything wrong? I can see guilt in your face. Don't tell me you made a bad remarks behind my back." Arik tried to ease the situation.

"Nah, nothing like that…When will you take control of godfather's power and crush those bastards?" Shikar tried to divert the topic.

Arik had known that Shikar was trying to hide something but didn't divulge. He knew Shikar won't stay still for a long time and will give the leeway soon. He just had to wait and act nonchalant.

"I will do it soon. Some preparations are left, the only problem for me is; what identity should I take, so none could go against me? I can't think of anything." Arik sighed.

"Identity, huhh?...I have an idea, it has it's own advantage and disadvantage but surely none can question your identity." Shikar smirked and stay mysterious.

"You are making a wicked plan. Tell me first, than I will consider. Otherwise seeing you like this, I am having goosebump. It looks as if you are planning something worst for me." Arik spoke the truth.

"Nah, it won't be so worse. I already said it has disadvantage too." Shikar made his point.

"What's your plan?"

"Beside your face and hair, your physique is similar to Big Brother. From the back, people may mistaken you for Neil—"

"Bro, don't go round and round. Make your point."

"Rascal, I was trying to make a great presentation. Okay, Straight to the point. Why don't you act as a doppelganger of Neil? I mean to say act as brother Neil, wouldn't it be the best identity for you?" Shikhar smiled.

Shikhar's plan wasn't bad either but as making a proposal in this period means something must be on his mind.

"Bro, your smile tells me that you are preparing a grave for me. Say what have you done behind me to impersonate as Brother Neil? It can't be as simple as taking the identity." Arik looked straight in the eyes of Shikar.

"How can you think like that…hehe…I have done nothing so seriou—"

"Bro, give up. I know you more than anyone, maybe more than Big Brother or your fiance. Just say it " Arik couldn't stay patiently.

"Okay, there is something you need to do. I mean to say impersonate Neil and do your work. Let's make news that Neil has been found and is in good condition. It would be easier for you to take control of ANB Corps, Grasal mafia and the city in such a way. Beside that you have promised godfather to take care of Neil's girl.

Due to her situation, I couldn't tell the truth. Worst to worst, she will lose the child which both of us don't want. So..." Shikhar hesitate to speak further.

"So??" Arik raised his brow.

"I told her a lie. I was trying to say her about the incident but her situation turned bad. With no choice I told her, Neil was alive and is good condition but has lost memory of few years. She was crying so hard that I couldn't tell the truth." Shikhar sighed.

"It's okay to lie. Then what's the problem?"

In a serious tone Shikar spoke each word clear and loud, "Arik, impersonate as Neil and marry Mega."
