Chapter: Chapter 96She took a step back but his grip remained a solid anchor on her. The shrill of her phone pierced the silence again, shattering their eye contact. She instinctively pushed him away, her fingers searching for her phone, she was about to escape when his hand seized her forearm and pulled her. She stumbled and crashed against his chest. Her eyes welled up blurring the harsh line of his face as she stared at him, but her mind was lost in the shadows of the past. She was back there, reliving it all. It was like her brain had hit the pause button. The only thing that managed to break through the fog was the overwhelming question. How did she end up staring into the same blue eyes she was trying to escape? The universe had a sick sense of humor, it seemed dragging her to the same person she was trying so hard to run away. She thought she finally escaped his cage, but how delusional was she? He again appeared like a dark shadow in her newfound sunlight. What more could he destroy? Why could

Chapter: Chapter 95Aryan saw Avyaansh was coming towards him, a subtle shift in his demeanor as he subtly distanced himself from the group of men. “Avyaansh Malhotra,” Avyaansh stated, extending a hand in a greeting. Aryan shook hands in a formal handshake followed by a nod of acknowledgement. “Ayran Oberoi,” he replied, his voice a low rumble.“It's good to see you here Mr. Oberoi, I presume you have accepted the CEO position?” Avyaansh’s words held a hint of scrutiny while his eyes were carefully assessing Aryan. “You'd be right,” Aryan responded, the words thick as he took a deliberate sip of his champagne. “My father approached you for the same purpose, to persuade me, isn't it?” Aryan asked, his words were more of a statement. Avyaansh's gaze lingered on the glass in his hands. The way he was clutching the glass his veins were visible as if he would crush the glass. He smirked knowing he triggered him. “Indeed, but what truly piqued my interest was your initial reluctance,” Avyaansh admitted, taki

Chapter: Chapter 94His flight landed in Los Angeles just as the sun dipped below the horizon. The moment he stepped out of the airport, the warm breeze of the city enveloped him. He spotted his car already waiting for him. He walked towards the car and the driver immediately greeted him, giving him an affirmed nod he slid into the backseat while the driver drove the car. As the car cruised through the city streets, he gazed out of the window, palm trees swaying, the iconic Hollywood sign in the distance, and the city's lively energy. The car stopped in front of the grand five star hotel. Avyaansh walked into the hotel lobby, its polished marble floors and elegant decor was a welcome sight. He approached the reception with a friendly smile, and collected his suite key and stepped into the elevator, pressing the floor button he waited tapping his foot on the floor. Reaching his suite he quickly headed into the bathroom. He was already tired with the jet lag and the work pressure and couldn't wait to tak

Chapter: Chapter 93The midday sun streamed through the cafe window, casting a warm glow on the table where Shanaya and Amaira sat, their lunch forgotten as a serious conversation unfolded. Shanaya, her brow furrowed with concern, leaned forward, her gaze fixed on her friend. Amaira, her face pale and drawn, fidgeted with her straw, avoiding Shanaya's gaze. "No," she finally said, her voice barely a whisper, "I don't want Mom to be involved in this. I'll handle it on my own." Shanaya could see the tension in Amaira's shoulders, the way her fingers gripped the table, a clear sign of the turmoil within."But Amaira," Shanaya protested, her voice laced with worry, "this isn't something you can handle alone. It's been happening for months now, and it's getting worse. You can't just ignore it." She paused, trying to find the right words, the right tone. "If you don't want to talk to your Mom, that's fine, but we have to inform the police. This is serious, Amaira, we can't just let it go."Shanaya watched as

Chapter: Chapter 92Next day;Avyaansh emerged from the meeting room, a shadow of weariness etched across his face. Tarun walked beside him, his voice a steady hum of updates. "The designs are in, sir," Tarun said, his fingers tapping the screen of his iPad.Avyaansh nodded, "Keep an eye on it, Tarun," he instructed, his voice low and clipped. "And reschedule my meeting with the shareholders this week." He draped his coat over the stand beside his desk, a sigh escaping his lips as he sank into his chair. "Sir, the annual press conference is being held on the 28th of this month in Los Angeles," Tarun continued, undeterred by Avyaansh's quiet intensity. "I've arranged your tickets and your stay at the hotel." Avyaansh finally looked up, his brow furrowing. "28th alright," he murmured, his fingers drumming a staccato rhythm on the desk. “You and Natasha attend this conference this year,” Avyaansh said and opened the lid of his laptop. "Any updates from Oberoi Enterprises?” He asked while his eyes were glu

Chapter: Chapter 91A shuddering breath escaped his lips as he rubbed his palm across his face, trying to wipe away the overwhelming emotions that threatened to consume him. His eyes, red and swollen from the battle against tears, betrayed him as a single drop escaped, trailing down his cheek like a silent companion. He stared at the divorce papers clutched in his hands, the ink of her signature glaring back at him. She left the city without any traces behind. The ache in his chest deepened with each passing day, a gnawing reminder of the love that had once filled their lives. He knew he didn't deserve her forgiveness, but still, the least he could do was give her the peace she needed. He understood now that love sometimes meant letting go, and if she truly wished to part ways, he would honor her decision, even if it shattered him. The weight of his guilt was a constant companion, reminding him of the wounds he had inflicted on her heart, the way he had carelessly played with her emotions as if they we

Chapter: Bonus chapter6 years later: "Mommy" she giggled, calling her mother running away from her sister. "You are gone,'' another girl shouted, who was the same age as her, running behind her. She stopped and turned towards her showing her tongue she ran away. "Mommy save me" she yelled and jumped into her mother's lap. Seher was sitting on the lawn with her mother in law having evening tea with a little bit of chit chat. "What happened, why are you running like this, you will get hurt bacha (baby)" Seher said, picking her 5 years old daughter in her arms and she smiled sheepishly. "Mommy, tell her to say sorry" the girl came and said, putting her hand on her hips. Both of the ladies hid their smiles seeing her printed in colours. "Mysha, what did you do this time?" She asked looking at her daughter who gave her a toothy grin. "Mommy, I was painting in my room and she r

Today was the wedding day. The pavilion was beautifully decorated with white and red flowers as per the bride's wish. The priest was sitting in the middle of the pavilion chanting some mantras. The groom was sitting next to him and following the directions that the priest asked him to do. His heart was beating unusually fast. His eyes were on the way from where his bride will come. He was getting impatient to see her. Mayank came from behind and patted his shoulder. Rohan looked at him and smiled which he returned with the same gesture. "Nervous?" Asked Mayank. "Impatient" he mumbled slowly looking at the stairs without thinking twice. Mayank looked at him in bewilderment and broke into a

Chapter: Chapter: 53 (ice cream) She got discharged from the hospital after a week. Her wound healed quickly but still, she is a little weak. "Be careful ok?" Mayank said as he helped her to go upstairs. "Mayank, I can walk, you don't need to…" her sentence cut off when she got tripped and was about to touch the floor when his strong arms held her and she was taken up in the air by the next moment. "What a perfect match," they heard his mom's giggle and her face flushed. "Mayank put me down," she whispered. "And let you fall to get hurt, huh," he said looking at her. After that, she didn't say anything and he carried her to their room and placed her carefully on the bed. He sat across from her and started feeding her the soup. "Mayank, please stop now, I am not sick to whom you are feeding this sick food" she made an eww face. "You are weak and you have to have this soup, it does

Chapter: Chapter: 52 (It hurts, here) He sat on the chair near her holding her free hand into both of his hands and brought it near his lips and placed a kiss on it. He stared at her pale face while a drop of tear escaped from the corner of his eyes. His heart ached as he saw her injury. He sent everyone home because it's already 1 am. "Mom you all go I am staying with her and don't worry if I need anything then I will let you know, okay?" He assured her and she agreed nonetheless. He sat on the chair near her. His eyes were heavy and his body was also paining when sleep consumed him. "M... Mayank" his eyes opened hearing her murmur. "Seher" she opened her eyes slowly and blinked a few times to get a clear view and found him standing in front of her. "Are...you alright?" She asked with difficulty her voice was too low but enough for him to hear. He looked at h

Chapter: Chapter:51 (she is out of danger) He was standing outside of the OT with his accelerated heartbeats. It's been three hours since she was taken inside the operation theatre. The bullet hit just four inches above her heart. The doctor said her condition was critical and they can't be sure if she could make it up or not and he felt his heart stop beating. He was in so much pain and guilt was eating him that she took the bullet to save him. If something happens to her then he will die, he can't live without her. His eyes were staring at the door of OT aimlessly. All the family members were there Ashwini was also inside the operation theatre with the doctor's team treating Seher. Everyone was crying and praying for her. Mayank was vulnerable, he was too numb to feel anything. Tears were continuously rolling down his cheeks. His heart was bleeding in pain.

Chapter: Chapter: 50 (Living in fear) Both were staring at the eyes of each other deeply. His eyes were consoling her terrified one. Samar looked at them and the only hate he felt towards Mayank and angered towards her. 'Why she can't love me the way I do' this thought crossed his mind and he stood up wiping the blood flowing from his mouth and marched towards them. In their eye conversation, they didn't notice that Samar was coming towards them. He held a rod and taking advantage he hit Mayank on his head with that iron rod so hard that darkness fell in front of his eyes and his body touched the floor with a thud. Seher's eyes widened and shrieked left her throat. Her heart dropped in her stomach and she felt her soul leave her body with a jolt. She stood up and ran towards him but Samar held her elbow and threw her on the other side. Mayank groaned in pain and held his head, shutting his eyes tightly. Taking the
