Saving Grace 43. Fixing it.
Veer's pov I was breaking every single minute, the more I look at her, the more my heart clenched. I want nothing more than to hug her, kiss her, cuddle her, hold her to me, so that she won't disappear. I want to tell her how sorry I am for doing this. I want her to punish me, she can slap me, she can kill me, she can do whatever she wants. But I just want her to wake up. It had been seven days since she is in ICU. "Veer, you need to sleep child. You can't jeopardize your own health like this." Nani said and maa nodded in agreement. I was sitting on the side stool beside her bed, holding her hand. My thumb was brushing her knuckles and time to time I was tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. She looked silent, more like lifeless. It looked liked she wanted to sleep, not wake up at all. "I slept Nani, don't worry. I will be okay." I mentioned my tone hard, but respect underlying it. Thankfully, they got the message and didn't say anything. Maa left, but Nani stayed. She hel
Saving Grace 44. Forgiving.
Ananya's pov I was in my hospital bed, currently taking rest as the nightmare played in my head, or was it my memory. Was it possible that my memories were coming back. When I was unconscious I had a nightmare again, but it was more clear this time. I saw someone hitting my mom with a glass vase on her head before she fainted. This is something I never had in several years, according to doctor that incident was so terrifying for a young girl like me that my brain blocked all of my memories when I was in trauma and that's how I lost my memory. But he did told me that they can come back, any time, like even after many years or in just few days. In the very start I tried my best so that I could get my memories back, like talking to the people who knew me or my mom, even tried for past regression therapy, but my medical state was critical so I was denied. Eventually I gave up, but now this, so can this be that my memories are coming back. I was so grossed in my own that I didn't realize
Saving Grace 45. A dive in the past.
Ana's pov"What's wrong Shori ?" I asked the big buffoon of my brother who was sitting with me, his hand over my shoulder and my head on his chest. We were sitting on my hospital bed and I was currently eating the popcorn he snuck in for me, as we watched my all time favorite Shrek.Since our last conversation Shori had been upset with me, which I knew he would and he had every right to do that, after he knew what her sister hubby did with her.I wonder if he knew that Veer also accused me for being a cheater than what he would do. They both aren't on talking terms, the only reason Shori is quiet is because I asked him, made him promise me that he wouldn't do anything, at least for the time being I am not discharged from the hospital."Nothing Ana." He replied gruffly. I sighed and pressed a kiss to his cheek and cuddled into him, Shori is not one of those guys who's into cuddles. He hates cuddling, the only person who makes an exception to his nature is me, he gives into my demands.
Saving Grace 46. Discharged
Shaurya's povI came back from Veer's house with a relieved smile on my face, knowing that my sister would be safe and be happy with him. I still haven't forgiven him for what he did to Ana, and I am kind of glad that she is giving him cold shoulder, but I know that she would forgive him eventually, she just needs some time to process everything. I walked into the living area to find Mom and Dad in a serious conversation, mom was crying and Dad was consoling her. "If we hit a stone again and again not matter how strong the stone is, it will break." "Jahnvi, Ana is scared and weak right now, she will overcome it, I know, Don't you worry, our daughter is fighter.""A fighter too does get tired of fighting Anand, she has been fighting from her demons for years now. It took her teenage, her childhood memories and now when she was finally happy in her married life with her husband, these nightmares have come again with the panic attacks." Mom said her voice hoarse, while Dad was consoli
Saving Grace 47. Siblings bonding.
Ananya's pov Thankfully we were out of that media crowd and I was finally going home. Though I was angry at him I was touched the way when he shielded me from the crazy media, I was surprised that Veer didn't answer media and his attention was solely on me, but how can I forget, may be he was doing it just so that I could forgive him? Please Ana, he might have hurt you in the past, but he has always been protective of you. "Are you okay ?" The man sitting beside me, that I called my husband asked. Till then I hadn't realized that I was kind of shivering and my breathing was labored and I was sure looked like I was going to have seizures. "You don't need to worry." My voice came out cold at his genuine concern. He took a deep breathe to control himself from snapping at me, but finally I was alone with him and I sure as hell was bent on giving him hell. "Granny and Sarah wanted to see you." He spoke again. I let out a humorless chuckle and looked at him directly in the eye wh
Saving Grace 48. Friendship Goals.
Ananya's pov"I swear Ana, you are so dead."I looked at the direction of the voice and laughed like a witch, looking at a handsome face in front with a scowl whipped in cream from head to toe. He looked like Dumbledore."I am so sorry, this was a mistake." I apologized, not meaning any word of it. Of course if I got a chance I would do it again."Yeah right."He muttered and before I knew it I was drenched in cocoa powder mixed with egg.Shit that smelled.Shit just got real, and before anyone knew it, we were throwing things at each other, cackling like maniacs, he threw water on me, and I threw flour on him and before I could get away from his throw, I slipped on the floor and planted my butt straight on the floor and since he was just behind me he didn't have time to balance himself and landed on me, planting his body horizontally over mine.We both looked like homeless drug addicts, covered in what not and I probably stunk because of the raw egg that this son of an idiot threw ov
Saving Grace 49. Getting drunk.
Ana's pov"I think you should wear this mini bodycon." Rehana suggested a black bodycon dress, I think she forgot that I have bigger breasts then her."Rehana, it's your size. Not mine.""Oh yeah, I didn't think about it.""It's fine, hey I was thinking if I could invite my siblings too.""Of course, in fact we would have a girl gang of three." She giggled excitedly, making me chuckle."You know, I suggest you call Ruhi here and ask her to bring your dress.""Yeah, I have one dress that I think would be fit for the occassion.""Perfect. Now let me see something for me. Help me find out."" Yeah, I think you should wear something red. It compliments you.""Okay, and yeah please tell Veer bhai to come as well."" Yeah." I said hesitantly.Now that I had made up my mind that I would talk to Veer and forgive him, my insides were feeling a little giddy. I was afraid of his reaction. What if he was frustrated of waiting for me to forgive him. What if he doesn't care anymore.So many what if
Saving Grace 50. We are in this together.
Veer's povI took Anu to our master bedroom, then to the bathroom and placed her on the sink. This was place where I wanted to bring Anu after we got married, but since Sarah was in Punjab and granny wanted my wife to meet out family she asked to move in to Punjab. I never wanted to go there, because I knew what a dick Rehan is. I wet a face towel and placed it on her face, removing her makeup and then I removed her heels. I wonder how she wore them for so long, considering the fact at how much she hates them."There is my real beauty.""You don't like me when I put make up on?" My wife asked in the childlike tone."No." She pouted and I chuckled. I cupped her face in my hands made her look at me, her natural brown eyes staring into mine and I held my breathe so that I didn't get lost in them." I like you in any shape, any form Anu. With or without makeup you will always be the most beautiful woman for me."I whispered placing a kiss on her forehead and kissing her lips in a sweet p

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
