01:00 AM. Inside her house, Diana was still mad with the embarrassment at the Builder's Dynasty. Sat in the living room holding a wine glass in her hand with an owlish look a vicious grin escaped her lips.Grabbed the photo frame and stared at the tall man intently while brushing her fingers across him, "You're indeed ruthless, Rudra.""You've successfully tricked me." With that, she threw the wine glass, and the white marble floor was stinking with the smell of wine.Strode towards the window, pushed the curtains aside, and glanced at the calm water, "you hurt my pride." She mumbled. "What I didn't do for you?" A troublesome expression settled on her face, "yet you didn't spare me for once?""You'll regret this, Rudra." Her hands clenched while memories hit her."I'll make you pay for your deeds." She asserted and dialed Farhan.Farhan rubbed his eyes and lifted the call, "Yes, Mam?""I want the insider information on what Rudra is up to.""Mam..." His drowsiness vanished hearing tha
Tanvi sat inside her house and began thinking about what her mother said earlier. "I know how much you wanted to hear about me getting married, mom." She muttered holding onto the pillow."This time I won't hide from it." She promised to herself."Either way, I couldn't escape from it forever. Why not now?" Glanced at their family picture, "If this was the price to pay to make you happy, then I'm willing to do it.""I'll try with my all to fix my marriage as soon as possible." Her eyes gleamed with the determination to fight her fears."Aiyah!" She gasped and hit her head, "I forget to tell you about the conversation with Riaan's mother." With that, she dialed her mama."Hi, sweetie!! How're you?" mamma asked."Hello, mamma!! I'm good, how're you and papa?""We're good, sweetie. So any progress with Riaan?" she asked with curiosity."Huh! That's the first thing on your mind?" Tanvi hissed in annoyance."Ew... It's not like that. I'm just... being snoopy." Her mom adjusted her saree an
Tanvi finished work early and got home a little earlier than usual. She quickly changed into her pajamas and flipped onto a music channel while sitting on the couch, and began painting the completed draft.The silent hall was replaced by relaxing music. Those heart-touching beats were easing her nerves while filling her soul with endless peace. Music was her best method to alleviate her mood, and soon, she started humming the tune.When her round black eyes were focused on the swift movements of the ink and brush, her body began swinging freely with the background music, which was a feast to her ears.Her keen concentration was interrupted when a loud vibrating ringtone kept on making an irritating sound. Her slender fingers searched on the couch beside her, but to her surprise, it's not present there."Ugh! Where's my mobile?" Her eyes rolled across the living room, but there was no trace of it."Ah! This is frustrating," her fists punched the couch while yelling and stood up to stop
14th October"Let's go for a walk?" Marina asked Tanvi when she was sending the last report for the day. Raised her head and gestured with her hand, "Five minutes."Marina nodded, "I'll be outside."Tanvi finished her work and strode outside where Marina was waiting for her."Hmm. So, what's up?" Tanvi asked with a smile while moving forward inhaling the fresh breeze."You need to say. How things were going on?""About?" Tanvi asked with a frown.Marina chuckled, "your engagement."Tanvi's cheeks reddened with the mention of it, she touched her nose while her eyes gleamed, "Riaan was coming in less than two weeks.""Wow! That's good news." Marina exclaimed lovingly while glancing at her."Hmm.""How about your parents? Are they satisfied?""Yep!! Both families agreed to it. My parents were like on cloud nine, their long-awaited dream was coming true." Tanvi said becoming a little sentimental, remembering how much she delayed it and caused worry for her parents."At least it was happen
10:00 PM. At home.In the freezing night, his eyes fell on the swimming pool. The sudden urge to relieve the stress that's bothering him kicked in. Strode to the glossy, flat-surfaced, marble-tiled pool area, he gasped heavily as if he's suffocating with the events, "I needed it." Rudra muttered and dived in with no second thought.Intermittently, when he's in the water, his tensed muscles will relax automatically, as the turquoise water itself was a remedy that soothes his nerves and heals him. It gives him the strength to fight back. In short, it's his heaven.In those definite moments, he'd kept the past aside, cease to analyze the future, and enjoys being in the water. He doesn't worry about what's wrong, what he's supposed to do, who he'll become in the process of fighting his demons. In its watery embrace, there's only the present, nothing more.After spending a few hours swimming, he lifted his exhausted body while water droplets were receding from him. Sat on the marble-floor
At Irish HouseWhile wading through the crowd towards his private room, he spotted Tanvi there with the same trio as last time. His standard cold expression melted, replaced with a slight smile at seeing her. He stared, unable to restrain a soft chuckle.While the trio were dancing to the rock beat, her flowy hair swayed in sync with her curvy hips on the dance floor. Tanvi moved aside when sweat dripping through her forehead heavily and gasped for air.The twirling spotlight focused on the tall man for a second, who stood far away from the floor, which went noticed by her sharp eyes. She couldn't help but catalog him. About six feet, with broad shoulders, and his obsidian amber eyes staring at her intensely with a hidden glow beneath his cold gaze."Woah!!!" She exclaimed, thunderstruck, "He is damn hot!!!!""Damn it, man!!!! What the hell!!!! I'm engaged soon." She laughed at herself, ramping down on her hormones.RudraRudra noticed her change of expression. "Finally, You've seen m
Listening to the officer's words, Tanvi felt a bolt of lightning hit her. She instantly dropped onto the couch unknowingly, as if her whole energy drained. With shaky hands, she glanced at her mobile. The picture of Riaan on her screen turned her eyes moist, and breath became difficult for her as if she's stifled. The barriers she built began breaking down.Her round black eyes dripped with tears. Her walls, which holds her up, making her strong... started collapsing as the cracks in her voice overwhelmed her. Moment by moment, they fell. Salty drops seeped down through their own way involuntarily from her cheeks to her chin and drenched her top.The muscles in her chest tightened, and she gasped heavily with a quivering body. All the strength in her body evaporated as her tissues weakened, and her body leaned onto the couch limply as her head began spinning. Unable to bring herself to move, she lay there helpless, eyes closing involuntarily.Deep in her unconscious state, Tanvi saw a
Seated in the Presidential chair in the conference hall, which was lit dimly, Rudra's gaze focussed on the screen. When everybody was listening earnestly, the buzzing sound dominated the silence in the hall.Since the tune was a different one, which he specifically chose for his people who're tailing Tanvi, he instantly raised his hand as a gesture to dismiss the meeting.The people inside were baffled, "he never left an important meeting in the middle. Then what happened today?" They murmured among themselves when Rudra left the hall."Was that call has more priority than this?" Their eyes popped out, "we worked for months to grab this deal and he left just like that?"Inside his OfficeRudra unbuttoned his navy blue suit and placed it on his chair. Leaned onto the wall, he gave his full attention to the call."Boss!! Ms. Tanvi is going to the police station." His man reported.Stunned, Rudra wondered inwardly at the reason. "Did Something happen?""What's going on?" He questioned."
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. After several hours, her dress got completed, and she appeared like a goddess from heaven.She wore a bright red Lehenga with designs of Rudra and Tanvi's moments on the bottom. Her dress is designed exquisitely and studded with dazzling diamonds along with her pallu.All the people in the room wer
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
