Chapter-2

Shivansh's pov

I woke up from my sleep having a severe headache. I discovered myself on my bed covered in my blanket.

Last night I drank too much and it's all about the result of too much alcohol. I clearly remembered that Ankush was in the bar. That means he brought me home. Well, it was not just a bar. It was also a high profile brothel.

I rubbed my forehead a few times to soothe the pain and looked forward. Before I could see anything properly, someone threw a newspaper on my face.

" What the fuck!!! I shouted at the person annoyingly who just threw the newspaper on my face.

The person snapped at me," Look at the headline and care to explain what's the meaning of all this?"

I looked at the newspaper and saw the headline. It's written in bold letters

" CEO of SR industries, son of Satya Raichand, Mr Shivansh

Raichand was found drunk in a brothel"

" This media is becoming a headache for me day by day," I murmured and threw away the newspaper somewhere in the room.

I looked at the person and said making a poker face," Dad, what's the big deal. I have money and I can go wherever I want."

A hard slap landed on my face making it turn in another direction. I just touched the area where my father slapped me and clenched my jaw to control my anger.

" You are ruining my reputation. You have money and that doesn't mean you will sleep around with whores," He snarled at me and I just remained quiet.

Then he warned me with his stern voice," Shiv, I am warning you for the last time. If you don't mend your ways then I will announce Yash as my heir and give the company to him."

" Yeah. You can put that company in his ass and after that, you can see him destroying it," I sarcastically replied and stood up from my bed.

He screamed at me," Every day you are becoming reckless. Don't push my buttons. You will regret your all actions."

" Just leave me alone. Don't ruin my mood early in the morning," I said and started going towards the washroom.

Before I could step a foot ahead, he held my wrist and said taking a deep breath," Shiv, you are my firstborn. I have many expectations from you."

This time I couldn't control my irritations and replied in one go," Your company is the number one company in this whole country. We are earning a good amount of profits every day. Our company has thousands of branches all around the world. And I am the one who made all this possible. So, what more you are expecting from me?"

" Stop being a manwhore," He said glaring at me.

I replied sarcastically giving no importance to his advice," My dick my choice. I can put it wherever I want. It's none of your business."

" Mind your language. Don't forget that I am your father," He retorted and I just rolled my eyes.

I turned my head behind to leave for the washroom when he asked me angrily," You are doing all this just because that woman cheated on you? Isn't it?"

" I do whatever I feel like to do. And never remind me of that woman. She is a closed chapter now," I snapped at him and entered the washroom.

Entering the washroom I turned on the shower and closed my eyes. The cold water droplets started giving me a soothing sensation on my head but my heart was just burning.

" Why the hell are you messing with my emotions, bitch? Why I can't just remove you from my system?" I said angrily remembering that woman's face.

I punched the nearby wall," Why did you you cheat on me, flower? I cherished you like a real flower, I took care of you and loved you like a crazy person and still you betrayed me? Why? Just why did you do all this?"

I felt tears in my eyes which was just washed away by the running water. I don't know why I still feel her. I still love her. I tried to hate her but I couldn't.

My stupid heart still beats for her and yarns for her. It's been 4 years since I have divorced her but still, she kept occupying my head.

Author's pov

" 3 crores," One of the man said yelling.

Another one screamed," 5 crores."

" 7 crores," A bald man yelled excitedly.

A young man said with his deep voice," 10 crores."

The auctioneer's said yelling," 10 crores 1, 10 crores 2, 10 crores 3.........Finally, it's sold."

" This painting is sold in 10 crores to Mr Ayush Khurana," The auctioneer's said and everybody clapped their hands.

Mr Ayush Khurana looked at Ranvijay and said smilingly," I am honoured to have this extraordinary painting of yours."

" My pleasure," Ranvijay replied giving his usual mysterious smile.

Well, Ranvijay and Niyati were sitting in an auction house. A painting of Ranvijay has been put up for auction and people were stumbling to buy it. Finally, the painting was sold to a billionaire.

" So, you are going to give this money to the orphanage? Niyati asked Ranvijay smilingly. She was sitting beside Ranvijay having a sleeping Neela in her arms.

Ranvijay replied taking a deep breath," You already know the answer. Still, you asked me this question!!"

" I am just proud of you. I appreciate your every work," Niyati replied fixing her gaze in Ranvijay's eyes.

Ranvijay replied nodding his head," I am glad that my wife is proud of me."

After that, Ranvijay and Niyati came out of the auction house after attending the party. Both were unwilling to attend the party but still, they had to attend it for the formality.

 Niyati and Ranvijay were sitting inside the car. They were completely silent like they were ignoring each other. Both of them were looking outside through the window while Neela was sleeping in her father's chest peacefully.

" You are looking gorgeous in this red-pink colour gown. You are looking like a lotus flower," Ranvijay complimented Niyati without looking at her.

Niyati just skipped her heartbeat hearing the word flower. She felt a sharp sting inside her heart. Her eyes started becoming blurry due to tears but she wiped them away hurriedly before they could escape her eyes.

" Thank you," She replied still looking outside through the window.

This time Ranvijay looked at her with his soft eyes and asked," You still love him. Right?"

" Who?" Niyati asked sternly though she knew whom Ranvijay was talking about.

Ranvijay chuckled," You know very well whom I am talking about. Come on, Niyati. Accept the truth that you still love him."

" No. He is a closed chapter now," Niyati replied tryinwa hard to control her emotions.

Ranvijay asked sarcastically," You don't love him. That means you hate him, right?"

" I have nothing for him inside my heart. You knew very well that my emotions have died down but still, you are asking me all these questions," Niyati replied becoming irritated.

Ranvijay didn't say anything further. He decided to not provoke Niyati. He knows that Niyati is a calm girl but when she becomes angry then it becomes a disaster.

" And what about you? You are still doing redemption for the sin which you have never committed!" Niyati asked Ranvijay sternly.

Ranvijay replied taking a deep breath," I am guilty and I have to do redemption otherwise I will not find any peace."

" She never blamed you. Still, you are guilty," Niyati asked softly looking at Ranvijay's gloomy face.

Ranvijay didn't reply and kept looking outside through the window. Only he knows what crime he has done. Only he knows what kind of monster he was!! Only he knows, how he was still living with the burden of sins.

" Niyati, you can never feel the pain which I am feeling," Ranvijay thought mentally taking a long breath.

On the other hand, Niyati thought," I might say that I don't love him but only I know what I feel for him. But, I will never forgive him for humiliating me and not believing me."
