Rudra settled himself on the couch, and his heart ached for Tanvi. The emotional struggle Tanvi was going through troubled him remarkably. His muscles stiffened imagining her tears."I always wanted to see you happy, yet you're shedding tears for that bastard." Rudra felt complex emotions inside of him as the pain tugged in his heart."If I opened up to you earlier, you might not end up like this." He mumbled, seeing her snap while his fingers brushed across her face tenderly, and his fists clenched intuitively to hide the sadness in his eyes."You soon will be mine, dear! I'll make sure you never have any pain again." He muttered, determination flashing across his eyes to make her his as soon as possible....While Tanvi was struggling with her thoughts, she heard someone calling from her behind, "miss!"When she raised her swollen eyes, she found the bartender with an apologizing look. She raised her brows in a query when he placed the bill in front of her.He cleared his throat and
Inside Tanvi's room"You came?" Ameera asked with relief and glanced at her drenched clothes."Why not?" Tanvi teased.Seeing the slight blush on her wet cheeks, "Who dropped you?" Ameera raised her head from the bed and inquired."Dhruv. Teqware founder." Tanvi replied while removing her sneakers and cleaning herself."What the..." Ameera was dumbfounded and jumped out of bed."Yep," chuckled Tanvi. "I've made a fool out of myself today."Ameera laughed, "I heard he's good looking. How is he?""He's damn hot." With that, Tanvi waved her hand onto her face, and Ameera's eyes widened."Woah!!""He took my number.""For?" Ameera knitted her brows."Hanging out, I guess." Tanvi shrugged her hands."Is he flirting with you?" Ameera blurted when Tanvi spilled out the water in her mouth."What the fuck?""Hehe! Cool down.""It sort of felt good, though.""What if it worked between you too?""Shut your nasty mouth.""Hey, listen. If not, then why does he need your number? He can have anyone
Present DayHearing a knock on the door, Tanvi wiped off her tears until her sobs quieted. She stood up reluctantly in front of a mirror with shaky legs and cleaned her face with a wet wipe, set her hair, and composed herself before opening the door.A bell boy stood there and stared at her swollen eyes while scrutinizing her appearance and he gaped in shock, "your order for breakfast, mam? He asked.Peeping at him, "I don't need." She said and shut the door.Fell on the bed, hugging the pillow, she grabbed her mobile, which was off for the past three days. Apart from consuming alcohol, she didn't have any carbs, and she's sinking into the abyss of a devastating, and depressing state of mind....05:00 AM, 2nd NovemberBy constantly checking on Tanvi, Rudra was blaming himself for her current situation. Curled up on the bed, he's struggling to sleep any longer and stared at Tanvi's snap.Rudra sat upright on the bed and cursed, "Damn! Why didn't I recognize my feelings for you earlier
Rudra entered the office, and all employees were greeting him, but on seeing the virulent look on his face, they felt their hearts dropped onto their stomachs. It scared the hell out of them.Strode to his cabin, Maahir stood beside him. "Get me the files of the construction project." He ordered.Maahir rooted over there, but words weren't coming out. He nervously tapped his foot and looked around while Rudra was analyzing other documents.With no response from Maahir, Rudra raised his head and stared at him. "Shall I need to repeat myself?" His hostile voice caught Maahir, and he opened his mouth. Yet silence came out from his end."What?" Rudra asked, slamming his hands onto the table."Boss! The file... isn't ready... yet." Maahir bit his lips while his shirt was totally drenched in sweat.Hearing that, Rudra lost his last ounce of cool. "Can't you do this simple thing properly?" He screamed, and Maahir remained in silence, not wanting to offend his Boss."I want all the correspond
Sitting on the marble floor, empty bottles scattered in front of her. Held her head in a daze, Tanvi wondered, "Uf! I ordered alcohol again, but where was it?"She fiddled with her hands for a while and muttered under her breath, "Ah! I need it. It feels like I'm dying without the sip of alcohol." She sighed in frustration and tossed the bottles aside with her legs.When she's in a mess, the knock alerted her. "It might be my alcohol delivery." Tanvi tried to run and grab the bottle quickly but her drunk body didn't allow her to do so.With stumbling steps, she opened the door, which made a creaking sound that annoyed her further. Held the door for support, Tanvi glanced at the man in bell-boy attire with knitted brows."Mam!! Here's your order. Also, Mam, this is our special gift to you on behalf of our hotel." The delivery boy said.She frowned upon hearing that, "I don't understand why you're giving that to me." She politely rejected it."Mam!! Since you made around 30, 000 rupee b
For the first time in ten days, Tanvi went home. Seeing the busy streets, and buildings she used to roam across gave a nostalgic feeling to her. But the only difference was, that she was not the same woman as before.Stepped onto the eighth floor, she grabbed her jagged keys and shoved open the weathered door. Strode into her bedroom, hugged her teddy bear, and fell asleep.In the morning, she stared emptily back into her reflection and half-heartedly freshened up before heading to the office. To hide her pale face, and swollen eyes, she did a little bit of makeup and moved out of her house.Inside her OfficeSat on the chair with folded legs, Tanvi peeped across the stack of files and sighed. "Huh!! Since I'm not here for a week, piles of work were waiting for me."Tapped her forehead with a groan, "But... my mind wasn't supporting me... to focus on my work." She closed her eyes in disappointment."Let me check the emails, at least." She thought....Rudra was in his office, and his
08:00 PMRudra was driving his Maserati alone when the roads were illuminated by the street lights. Supposedly, he should be in a relieved mode since the meetings went well and according to his plan, but an uneasy feeling was building up in his stomach, making him feel restless.His grip tightened on the steering, "Why I'm sensing that something was about to go wrong?" Racked his hair in annoyance, "Was Diana up to cause trouble again?" His amber eyes turned perilous with the thought of Diana."Ah! I couldn't pinpoint what exactly was it." He sighed and when he was about to dial Maahir, his screen lit up."Boss!! Ms. Tanvi was at a bar. She collected all her files and stuff from her office."Listening to that, his eyes widened. Stopped the car aside, his lips pressed into a thin line, "why did she do that? What the hell happened over there?" He pondered."Ugh. This wasn't going to work." With that, he dialed Maahir."Boss!""Did anything happen at Tanvi's office?""Um... I'm not sure,
Grasping the changes in her emotions, his lips curled upwards. "My revelation shocked her." He's trying to control the smile that's about to burst out, and fake coughed while brushing his nose.Hearing the sound, she attentively drew her stare onto his eyes, which met with hers.She was the first person in years to look directly into his eyes without hesitation. It amused and pleased him. This woman was stronger than she looked. Here she sat, doing her best to look blase, covering the fear he knew she must have felt."I allowed her to do that because she'll be mine!! Only she can behave like this with me." Only for her, his eyes gleamed with tenderness and showered the warmth.Though she had no way of knowing, he was doing his best to show her a side of himself rarely seen by anyone else.He moved beside her when her eyes rolled across his movements and her eyes widened. "Relax!" He said in a soothing tone.By inhaling the intoxicating fragrance from him, a slight chuckle plastered acr
The days went by quickly, and the couple is busy with their marriage arrangements in the Maldives. Meanwhile, all the designer pieces Tanvi showcased designs got sold out, and it became a hit.Lots of orders are coming in, and Gauri is handling them. Ameera and Tanvi and Ameera are taking care of the designs. Rudra also decided to wrap up his work earlier and make his schedule empty.Soon the day of their marriage has arrived, and the couple reached their destination and is busy with stylists making their presence stunningly beautiful to another level.Tanvi has a few hairstylists, and the other few were draping her saree, another few are taking care of ornaments, and others are her makeup.

Rudra reached their home, and Tanvi is busy with all the dealings since only four days left for their opening. She even invited a well recognized few models for showcasing the elegant designs after discussing them with Rudra.She is designing a custom made couple costumes for Rudra and herself at the opening ceremony. Rudra is no less than a model with his charming chiseled face and perfect masculine body.Tanvi stood at one corner on the lawn while taking a phone call regarding the costumes, and Rudra approached her and placed his chin on her. Tanvi stroked his features gently and quickly hung up the phone."Tired?" She asked Rudra, and he hummed in response. "My heart aches by seeing you like this. Don't tire yourself to this extent, Honey." Tanvi held him and took him to their bedroom while placing him on the bed. "I have little more work to do." Rudra blurted out while gazing at her."No more work. I want you to relax." She declared without leaving any room for discussion. "Whatev
After the video from Dhruv had been released, the media and public are once again in an uproar. They are throwing the worst comments on Tanvi. Since they can not target Rudra, everyone's focus shifted to Tanvi."This bitch has no shame it seems. Does Anyone feel the same?" One commenter raised his opinion."She even did not respond to the scandal. How much of a slut she is to ignore?""Is she hiding in the shadows of Mr. Ishaan Rudra Chauhan?" Likewise, multiple vulgar comments appeared, and still, this scandal is the top searched and discussed one.Rudra clenched his fists in anger with the public comments, but he knew he must be patient to succeed. Tanvi sat on his lap, and they are browsing the comments. She chuckled seeing the video, "He thought there is no proof. That's the reason he challenged us openly."Tanvi concluded, and Rudra nodded. "Let us see how he will hide his face when the truth gets revealed." Tanvi puts his hands on his chest, and his muscles seem tensed, "You nee
The shining rays from the sun came caressing the couple. Rudra is staring at his beloved wife, who is sleeping peacefully in his arms, and he could not help but nudge her contours lovingly. He leaned his forehead on hers and rubbed his nose with hers, and Tanvi slowly opened her eyes and gazed at her charming husband.She bounced onto him and pecked his cheeks while nibbling his shoulder roughly. Rudra didn't make a sound doesn't matter how hard she nipped him, 'As long as Tanvi did it, he will gladly accept anything.'"Wifey, today is going to be a roller coaster for you. But you don't need to worry. I will make you the best." Rudra gazed at her beaming black eyes and kissed her soft lips tenderly."With you by my side, I don't bother about the rest world, Honey," Tanvi said with determination and stroked his hair while burying in his embrace. Rudra nodded in contentment, and they enjoyed each other's presence."Honey, come to my office today. I don't want to leave you here. Tamaz an
Rudra deliberately leaked the information to Farhan to lure Diana into his trap. As usual, Diana did not give up even after her father's strict warning.Who can change one's fate when the person itself is not willing to?Diana contacted Abhay Chauhan since he did not know that his son is married and wanted to use him in her favor to attack Tanvi. "I will not leave a single chance to humiliate you, Tanvi." She jumped with joy.Meanwhile, Rudra and Tanvi get dressed, and along with Tamaz, Ameera, and Advik, they all reached The Corliss reservation table. Again, he deliberately booked an open table, but this is a luxurious hotel, so most of the business delegates will come here.It won't be a problem because they know how powerful Mr. Ishaan Rudra Chauhan is and whose side they must take.He is setting the trap clearly for Diana to fall into his hands. They all sat at the table and gave their orders while chatting and enjoying themselves. Meanwhile, Diana and Abhay Chauhan occupied the b
Tanvi is giving the required details to her assistant Gauri Doshi appointed by Rudra. Gauri is capable of many things with good experience and is loyal and trustworthy like Maahir. While Gauri is reporting to her, her phone keeps on beeping."Hello.""Is this assistant of Ms. Tanvi?" The speaker questioned with a heavy voice with full sweat. "Yes. May I know who this is?" Gauri could not help but ask who the person is."I am Arushi Khua here to collaborate with Ms. Tanvi in Ishaara Valor," Gauri is stunned and nodded her head before hanging up."Mam, Ms. Arushi Khua called me and confirmed your collaboration," Gauri said with a surprised tone because she witnessed their rejection.Tanvi is bewildered, "How is that possible? What happened to them now?" Tanvi is puzzled, and a series of calls regarding dealing with Tanvi and Ishaara Valor came in. Then Tanvi realized that this is her husband's doing."Else, why will they come to me now when they rejected me before though they liked my p
A month passed by, and Tanvi's mind is a mess with the continuous denials from the designers, yet she did not mind them but still, she is suspecting there is someone behind them."They cannot reject my collaboration unnecessarily since they praised my designs countless times. What happened now? What had changed now?" She was lost in her thoughts and decided to swim to attain peace of mind.She jumped into the water and is enjoying the soothing sensation while forgetting about the misdeeds. By the time Rudra reached home, he did not found her and is searching for her."Where are you, love?" He questioned, but heard no response. He immediately became alert and decided to check the house before doing something and finally found her in the pool."Damn it!! You scared the hell out of me, wifey." He mumbled to himself when the wave of relief washed over him. "I know things are being tough on you. I promise I will give you the best, honey." He took an oath to make her achieve her dream.By g
Diana sat in her office with the report of Tanvi in her hands. She is going through all the aspects of Tanvi in detail from her childhood to till date. While Diana is gazing, Tanvi's love story with Dhruv attracted her.Diana even got to know about her depression and the treatments she took for years. It seemed suspicious to her with the events that took place in her life at that time and ordered Farhan to dig in about their past love story."Let me find out about your past, Tanvi. I swear I will make your life miserable."Meanwhile, Rudra found out about Diana's doing, "Huh. To how much length you will go, Diana? Do you have no shame?" Rudra mumbled in a dark tone."Do whatever you can. No matter what you do, you can not escape from my palms." He clenched his fists with bloodshot eyes.Rudra came to his cabin and sat in his chair while leaning his head on the headrest and dozed off.Daniel Bhatt and Abhay Chauhan were good friends, so obviously Diana and Rudra knew about each other f
Diana stomped her foot into the bungalow with a frustrated look on her face. It seems the humiliation given by Tanvi has indeed affected her. By looking at her, all the maids understood her mood and remained silent.Her temper is as worse as Rudra's, but he will lose it in critical situations, whereas she will lose it in a flick of a second even with a prank. She is a typical rich daughter with head over heels in love with her ego and is too self-centered.She kicked the flower wase presented by Rudra, though he had not given to her intentionally, yet she cherished it this entire time, but today it appeared she really lost it. She ran into her room with heavy footsteps and propelled her room door.Diana made her room a mess with shattered pieces spread across the floor, blood dripping from her hands, and glass pieces got dug into her hands, but she didn't bother about it. The only thing that is driving her crazy is the image of Tanvi.The illusions of Rudra with Tanvi are pushing her
