Saving Grace 27. Hard to stay mad.
Ananya’s pov True to Veer’s words, Rehan was behind the bars the next day he molested me and I couldn’t be any more grateful but Mami was full of anger. I could understand her pain as a mother she had go to go through when she was told that her son was arrested but was disgusted at the same time she was defending a molester. Veer was full of anger when he saw Rehan but he controlled it just fine when police was taking my statement. He was by my side holding my hand all the while, his grip tightening every time when he learnt each and every detail of the incident. Sarah was unfortunately at home that day and was also sitting by my side, claiming that she needed to support her bhabhi when her brother scolded her but I guess she was just curious to know about what had happened. She almost tore up when she learnt what Rehan had done, apparently for her he was arrogant but he was her brother. I was working on my laptop as usual when Veer told me that one of his business partners would be
Saving Grace 28. I can't lose you.
Ananya’s pov I was eagerly waiting for the notorious woman and her father and Veer was staying in the home today because he had to be there to welcome his so called guests. I wondered if he would ever do that for someone else. Okay now that was a lie, Veer was a perfectionist. He liked to do everything on his own and if someone else was doing it, it better be perfect upto Veer’s standards. But still I was annoyed that he was doing it for that woman. I was trying my best to not judge her before I even met her but Sarah was continuously fussing about how she had to deal with her annoying self centered self and Veer was silent about it. Every time Sarah would say something, Veer would stay silent. He was neither correcting her nor stopping her from speaking. He would just look at my face. I knew he was gauging my reaction, we might have made up after that argument but I was miffed because I was bothered. Call me insecure or jealous, I didn’t care. He was my husband and no other woman s
Saving Grace 29. You are worth everything.
Veer's pov She was sleeping peacefully, her face on my chest leaving warm puffs of air rising goosebumps on my skin that came in their way. Her arms wrapped around me like a koala bear. It was a bittersweet moment when she told me that I was her top priority but she was not mine. How could I tell that idiot of my woman that she had been my priority ever since I had seen her. She had been on my mind 24/7. However I didn't want her to be burdened with my past when she already had a lot on her plate. She was insecure yet but she was dealing with then just fine. I was proud that she was my wife. Any woman in her place would have lost her cool and probably kicked have out Tanya from this house the moment she would see her. But my woman was different, she wanted to know why I was doing it. It was true, Shrivastavas were not someone I would like to deal. They were known to use dirty tricks in their business besides their empire was in its way to fall. A smile crept on my lips at the tho
Saving Grace 30. Desperation.
Ananya's pov I was warm. Too warm. I opened my eyes to see Veer was wrapped around me like a koala bear and his warm breathes on my chest indicated that he was in deep slumber. More than half of his body weight was over me and I could feel my shoulder numb due to his weight. Damn, he was meaty enough to crush me under his weight. I sighed when the events of last night crashed my mind. My emotional outburst, Veer assuring me and then how I let myself loose in his embrace. I remember the look on his face when I told him what I thought of him. He looked he had been slapped across his face. He looked defeated and hurt. In pain. As far as I believed, the only way to pain my ruthless husband was by creating a hole in his chest and taking his heart out and I was never going to let that happen. No matter what he did or how much his actions hurt me, I was hopelessly in love with him and could even take thousands of bullets for him. I sighed a
Saving Grace 31. I thought I'll ruin you, but it looks like you are tainting me.
This chapter is full of smut. If anyone of the readers is not comfortable with it, I suggest you don't read it. There are no hard feelings and it's a humble request that if you don't like it skip it but no hate comments. You have been warned before. Ananya 's pov He walked through the corridor with me hanging over his shoulder like a potato sack. My blood rushed in the opposite direction and my face was red half because of the blood and half because of the embarrassment that I faced when a maid watched me over his shoulder. Safe to say I wouldn't be meeting with her in the eye for the rest of my life. And to top that he literally spanked me over my butt causing me to let out a painful moan, which was not because of the pain, because of the wait he was going to give me. I knew my husband was a man of his words and he meant it when he said that wouldn't be able to walk for a week wh
Saving Grace 32. Embarrassment.
Veer's pov The smell of sex lingered in the room as she slept in my arms leaving warm puffs of air on my neck that burnt me to my bones and I wanted her again. Cuddling was something that I never did after sex, but goddamnit, it felt like heaven when I held her in my arms. Even though she was sleeping like a log, her whole skin covered with red and purple marks she was the most beautiful woman I ever laid my eyes on. She knew the power she had over me and I shivered at the thought whether she would keep me safe or kill me with it. My wife was not just beautiful, she was cunning and manipulative who knew how to turn tables in her favor. I wondered whether I was just a pawn in her game or she really wanted me. My secretary told me she had manipulated the board of directors in her favor with her skills so well that had no choice but to accept her pruposal to setting up the main branch of Haynes corporation in India. I was surprised that she actually
Saving Grace 33. Office visits.
Ananya's pov Sarah had a teasing smile on her face but none of us dared to talk about. She might be my friend but she was my sister in law and it was obvious that she didn't want to hear about her brother's sex life. "Bhabhi let's go for a walk to the nearby store. I am in the mood of shopping." Sarah chirped excitedly and I grimaced. One because I didn't like shopping and two I couldn't even stand without shaking my legs. "Maybe another time." I almost begged. The afteraffects of our yesterday afternoon activities were catching up to me and I was cursing Veer in my mind all day. It was very thoughtfull of him to give me bath in the morning but it turned out into two more rounds of rough sex in which I was wrapped around him in the shower and the other where he bent on the bathroom sink where he claimed how much I was his and how he was going to make sure that I would remain his forever. "You. Are. Min
Saving Grace 34. Lost.
Ananya's pov I embraced my best friend in one of my bear hugs while he laughed at my chidlike grin and my husband simply rolled his eyes at him. He looked annoyed and adding to it Rudy squeezed me more into him just to guage my husband's reaction. Preety much he did get it. My man was up on his feet pulling me into his arms glaring at my best friend almost killing him with the intensity of it. If it was someone else than I was pretty sure than the person would piss in his pants, however Rudy was immune to it. We three knew that Veer would do nothing but it was kind of fun to rile him up. I melted in his arms as they wrapped around me in a possesive fashion while he settled back in his seat pulling me shamelessly on his laps tightening his hold on me. And oh boy, how much I loved it. There was nothing as comfortable and protective then my husbands arms around me. Besides I didn't want to sit uncomfortably in front

Saving Grace 63. Something new
Ananya's pov Aryan, Veer and I were again in Veer's office where I was patiently listening to those two cunning men as they told me their ploting against that man, and to be very honest I was surprised as to how their mind worked. Somewhere for the first time in my life I was scared of Veer, because this was not a cunning or a manipulative business man, the one sitting in front of me was a man with a Vendetta, he was scary. "So you mean to say that you were planning for it for years?" I exclaimed not believing my ears. "I was Tanya's date for one of the business parties where I learnt that she was Arvind's daughter. From that day onwards I knew that I was going to destroy him because he destroyed my family. It was a well known fact that I was going to be the CEO of the oberoi Empire, and so I started playing my game the very same day." Aryan Khanna was Veer’s closest friend apart from Rudy. I had known about it even before we got married. But what surprised me was his childish na
Saving Grace 62. Karma
Veer’s pov Communication with Anu was always a different kind of thrill, because her reactions are always unexpected to me in most of the circumstances. I thought she would cry listening to my sob story and might even pity my childhood, but instead I got the title of phoenix. The amount of trust, love and care she has for me always scared me. The more her expectations and belief in me increased, the more my pride grew but at the same the fear of disappointing her as well. It like a vertical lines of a railway track, they go side my side but never meet each other. “Come on, let’s have dinner.” I said moving away from Anu kissing her cheek softly. We sat at the dining table having dinner our conversation moving around our days, and some funny stories of my dear wife playing pranks on her friends or brothers that had us laughing out loud. We sat at the balcony of our room looking at the city lights of the busy city when Anu questioned me out of the blue that threw me off. “Do you
Saving Grace 61. Phoenix
Ananya’s pov I woke to the warmth of my man, and his breathes hitting my face, with my whole body over him. How did I end up on bed from the railing, I didn’t bother answering the question popping up in my head. I took my sweet time looking at the beautiful creation made for me. “It’s rude to stare, Anu.” A smile crept its way to my lips while I pressed my lips to his cheek, giving him a big smooch, popping a dimple on his face. In turn I was turned on my back with him over my chest, cushioning it as a pillow, he went to sleep again. “I want to sleep. Don’t disturb.” A warning left from his mouth as he pulled the comforter over us. I smiled and cuddled to him, tightening my hold over him. A few minutes later of closing my eyes, I realized I couldn’t sleep anymore, so I left the bed, with so much difficulty pushing Veer off me. I had ordered us breakfast, a proper English breakfast for my husband while heavy Indian breakfast for me. I went under the shower while lathering my body
Saving Grace 60. A date to remember.
Ananya's pov The whole day I spent with Veer making up for the lost time with my husband. And no, we did not made love or had sex for once in the whole time. Instead we spent the whole day decorating our house, making it more homey watching movies and then lazing around.“We need to decorate the house.” He said looking around the walls. “I think it is fully decorated and there is no need for any makeover of something.” The penthouse was pretty much aesthetic if you would ask me. It was definitely very cool and I liked when I visited it the first time. “Yeah, I know. But it doesn’t feel like home.” A smile graced my lips when he talked to me and continued looking around. And that’s how we started decorating our penthouse giving it a homey feel by placing our favorite flowers in the flower vase, hanging some family pictures besides the stairs wall that led to our room. Veer placed a picture of us at his study table with me kissing on his cheek and smiling softly with his eyes close
Saving Grace 59. Mumbai
Ananya's pov “Anu, I am going to office and would come early. A business associate has thrown a party for his fifth marriage anniversary and we need to attend it. Be ready by 7 tonight.”Veer’s voice rang in my ears while I pulled the duvet over my head because the devil husband of mine had removed the blackout curtains and was ready in his crisp suit looking as handsome as ever.I squinted my eyes open at him in annoyance while he smiled softly at me. He threw rob over me and walked out of the room taking his phone with him.“I am making breakfast, come down in 10.”A groan of disapproval escaped my lips while I dragged my lazy ass out of the bed to the bathroom to freshen up. It had been few months since we shifted to Mumbai and things have been going well since then.Sarah and Nani were in London, while Mamu and Mami are in Punjab and Veer and I have been living here in Mumbai and to be honest I have never been happy.We have the whole house to ourselves with no disturbance of any
Saving Grace 58. Rehan is gone.
Ananya's pov Rehan’s death was the shock in the family. It was his funeral today. Mama and Mami were inconsolable and Sarah was mourning over her brother’s death. Veer and Nani on the other hand were completely silent. They were doing all the rituals that required to be done but I knew there something going on.Veer was sitting on the sofa, a five o’clock shadow marring her face, giving him a regal look. Placing my hands on the either side of his head, I pressed my fingers to his forehead, applying pressure. He didn’t say anything but I could see the stiffness in his posture had started to loosen up. After few minutes he stopped me from doing anything and grabbing my wrist he sat me down beside him, holding me to his chest.“What are you worried about Veer?”My voice held concern but I got no reply, instead a quick peck on my forehead and a tightened hold on me.“Nothing important.”When in reaction he got was my death glare he chuckled slightly and then sighed heaving a deep breathe
Saving Grace 57. Peace in the chaos
Ananya's pov It was true that I hated Tanya but knowing that she was the person who might have helped Rehan escape mixed that hatred with anger. I couldn’t believe that she would do so much.“That doesn’t matter how I know that Rehan was last seen with Tanya Shrivastav. I want him behind the bars as soon as possible.”Veer barked into the phone. Ever since I told him that Tanya might be the person helping Rehan it felt like there was switch to his anger. He busted.Even Nani was worried.I walked to him where he was barking orders at his poor detective, who must have scared to death by my angry man and snatched his phone away.“Daniel, this is Ananya. Find Rehan but don’t overwork yourself. Please take care.”And then I cut the call, only to see the furious face of my man glaring daggers at me. Holding his hands I wrapped his arms around me and placed my chin on his shoulder, his arms wrapped around me but the tension did not leave his body.“We’ll find him soon and for that you need
Saving Grace 56. encircled in problems.
Veer’s povIt surprised me how life works. I thought a true man writes his own life but clearly I was wrong. I remember my Nanu telling me that one day I would find a girl who would turn my world upside down.And all I did was just laugh at that time. But now that I looked at the woman in my arms I wondered if he was true. Surely he was. My wife was the only woman who was on my mind and my body all the time. I expected her to pity me as an orphan when I told her about my past but all she did was cry for my pain and curse my parents.Even my mother.Mostly people who knew about my past pitied her but a part of me as a son was angry on her for leaving her children in this world to live a life of an orphan. The person who truly understood me without even telling me was my wife.The conversation with Anu in the office had an impact on her. She was quiet since she came home and wasn’t talking to me. She responded to me though but it was like she was holding herself back. It was true that I
Saving Grace 55. Knowing him.
Ananya’s povI was waiting for Veer in his office while he had gone to attend his meeting. I was at peace now that everything was falling in place. I had ordered food for us wishing that it wouldn’t take long for Veer to complete his meeting otherwise the food would get cold.My phone rang in the silent office making me jump in fright leading me to hit the side table and the files placed on it fell. I ignored the ringing of my phone and started placing those files back together in place.My eyes caught a particular heading and the curiosity in my body forced me to peek into it. Though it was wrong for me to go through Veer’s office files behind his back but the title was so much of importance for me to not look at.My breath caught in my throat when I went through the contents of the file. Everything made sense to me then, all the questions of mine were answered when I looked into the contents of it. It was clear to me that he had a motive behind that deal but now that I got a clearer
