Chapter-5

Niyati's pov

I reached the office and cursed myself for being late. I was stuck in traffic for almost one hour.

Sir told me to reach earlier as the new chairman is joining today. And, here I am. Shit!! I am sure sir is angry as hell.

" Niyati, Sir is waiting for you in his office room. The new chairman has also come as well," The receptionist informed me while I was passing the reception area.

Without wasting any time I almost ran towards Sir's room. Taking a deep breath I knocked at the door.

" May I come in, Sir?" I asked for permission.

I heard Sir's deep voice," Yes, Niyati. Come."

" Sir, I am extremely sorry. I was stuck........." I started saying in one go after entering.

But I couldn't complete my sentence just looking at the person who was sitting beside Sir. My whole body turned cold just looking at the person.

I felt like my body has become paralysed looking at his face because the person is none other than Shivansh Raichand. Is it any kind of dream?

Why is he again in my life!!! All those past incident started flashing in front of me creating immense pain in my heart.

I can feel his astonished eyes on me. In these 4 years he has changed a lot. There is no tenderness in his eyes. They are like cold as ice. He stood up from his seat with utter shock. He is also shocked just like me. It is prominent on his face that he wasn't expecting me. I saw his clenched jaw and dark eyes indicating he is disappointed and angry after seeing me. 

" Niyati, meet Mr Shivansh Raichand. The new chairman of this company," Sir introduced Shiv to me that's when I came into reality. I have to act normal. We have nothing between us anymore.

I masked my shocked expression with my neutral expression and greeted Shiv very professionally," Nice to meet you, Mr Raichand."

" And, Mr Raichand, meet my most trusted employee Niyati Mehra. She is also my P.A. I hope she will do great with you as well," Sir introduced me to Shivansh and he didn't say anything. He just glared at me like anytime he will eat me alive.

I was going to say something when Sir told both of us chuckling," So, I have introduced both of you to each other and I am going to take my leave now. Otherwise, I will miss the flight. I hope you both will work together and bring more success for Singh Enterprise."

Saying all these he just left the room and I am now alone inside the room with my ex-husband. An awkward silence filled up the whole area as I am still speechless so as he.

" Shiv, how are........." I tried to say something when he showed me his right palm indicating me to stop.

" Sir....You will call me Sir. Don't forget that I am the chairman of this company," He said very rudely and sat on the chair.

I mocked myself mentally for thinking that he will ask about my well being first as he is meeting me after years. My heart clenched with pain remembering that time when he humiliated me in front of everyone. His love was weak. His love was fake. He never loved me wholeheartedly.

" So, you are Mr Singh's P.A. That means you are my P.A as well. As I am the new chairman of this company," He asked me with his dominating voice.

I replied professionally," I guess so."

" Bring the last months records of the selling products and bring a mug of coffee as well. Now, get lost," He ordered me very rudely and I just lost it.

I felt like yelling at him seeing his behaviour but I couldn't as he is my boss now. The way he is behaving with me is giving me a red signal that he will make my life hell if I continue working under his supervision. I have to resign from this company as soon as possible.

Shit!! How can I resign!! I have signed an agreement that I have to work for 5 years in this company. According to the agreement, I can't resign without serving the company for 5 years. That means I have to tolerate this egoistic man every day!!!

Hey, Shiv Ji!! Why are you always putting me in trouble? Do you have any enmity with me.?

" Didn't you hear me?" He asked very angrily and that's when I returned from my la-la land.

I replied with a tight smile," I will be back with your coffee, SSSiiirrr."

I pronounced the word Sir very sarcastically and started going towards the door to leave this room. I am feeling suffocated seeing his face.

Before I could leave the room he said," 1 cube of sugar. I hope you remember. After all, once you liked to make coffee in that way."

I turned my head and replied letting out a mocking smile," I don't forget so easily. Either it's about love or humiliation."

Saying all these, I just left his room hurriedly and ran towards the restroom. I started crying badly remembering those past incidents. Why he is again in my life? Wasn't it enough?

Author's pov

The whole day went very fast for Shivansh and Niyati. They worked with each other but didn't utter a single word about their relationship.

Both behaved very casually with each other though Shivansh gave a lot of works on Niyati to irritate her.

The whole day he wondered how Niyati is in Pune. After their divorce, he went to America and didn't bother to know about Niyati. He is also curious why her surname is Mehra. He is very eager to know how she survived all the years alone because after their divorce Niyati's family banished her from their house.

Right now Niyati has just come out of the office building after completing the works. She is tired as hell and now wants to reach her home as soon as possible.

A big smile formed on her lips when she noticed that Neela and Ranvijay are here to pick her up. She noticed that Ranvijay is standing with Neela leaning a little on the car. A soft smile is noticeable on his handsome face.

Niyati felt like her tiredness is vanishing in the air just looking at Neela's cute and joyful smile.

" Mommy," Neela excitedly said and jumped on Niyati.

Niyati picked her up in her arms and said kissing Neela's chubby cheeks," My cute doll. Mommy missed you a lot."

" Me too," Neela explained and kissed her mother's cheeks.

Neela walked towards Ranvijay and asked smiling," What are you both doing here? I was just coming home."

" We are here to take you for dinner," Ranvijay replied chuckling and tucked a few strands of Niyati's hair behind her ears very affectionately.

Niyati blushed and replied softly," It's not needed. We can.........."

" Neela wanted to," Ranvijay replied before Niyati could say anything further.

Hearing Neela's name, Niyati didn't say anything further and decided to go for dinner.

Niyati is so engrossed with her family that she didn't notice Shivansh. He has just come out of the office and that's when he noticed Niyati.

Niyati is talking like a carefree person with Ranvijay and Neela. Looking at Ranvijay and Niyati, anyone will say what an amazing couple.

Shivansh clenched his jaw and fisted his palm looking at Niyati. He couldn't tolerate that she is talking with another man so smilingly. He is angry and curious also to know who is this man with Niyati. He is also surprised seeing Neela with Niyati. He is wondering what can be Neela and Niyati's relationship.

" Who is this man and kid with Ms Niyati? Do you know them?" Shivansh asked the security guard who was standing behind him.

The guard replied pointing his one finger at Ranvijay," Oh, that man? He is Ms Niyati's husband, Mr Ranvijay Mehra."

Hearing the guard, Shivansh felt like someone has thrown him into a cold lake. He felt like everything has stopped around him. He felt a sharp sting inside his heart. He just couldn't digest the fact that Niyati has married someone else. The fire of jealousy just burned his whole system and he felt like killing Niyati with his bare hand.

" And who is this kid?" Shivansh asked clenching his jaw where his eyes are showing raw anger. He is already assuming something and praying that his assumption to turn wrong.

The guard replied," The kid is Ms Niyati's daughter."

Shivansh just couldn't tolerate it anymore. He threw his phone on the ground with pure rage. He just can't accept that Niyati is married to someone else and has a baby as well. The guard just looked at Shivansh with his curious and afraid eyes.

" I am suffering alone for 4 years just because of you. And here you are!! You are married to someone else and has a kid with this fucker as well!! Bitch!!" Shivansh thought very furiously and gritted his teeth.

He is still glaring at Niyati when she got inside the car with Ranvijay and Neela. She is unaware of the fact that Shivansh has seen her with Ranvijay and fuming in rage.

" Seems like you are too happy after destroying me and insulting my love," Shivansh said mentally fisting his palm.

Then a creepy smile formed on his lips and he said," Enjoy as much as you want because very soon you will see hell. You are going to regret your all actions. You will see how your all happiness turned into sadness. Just wait and watch what I do to you, Mrs Niyati Mehra."

He took her name very sarcastically and an evil smirk formed on his lips. An evil idea popped inside his head and he can't wait to execute it.
