16"Are you alright, Manya?" Neel asked as he softly held her forearm to balance her. Manya snatched her hand from his hold and swallowed her emotions which evoked in her heart seeing him and being closer to him once again. But she curbed her love for him and focused on the pain and humiliation she suffered because of him. "Yes. I am alright, excuse me," she politely answered as if she was talking to a stranger. "Thank you for your help," she said and took a step forward to leave from there but her steps ceased when he spoke again. "Congratulations on your wedding. I never expected that you would marry this soon, Manya." Manya closed her eyes and let out a deep but small breath before opening her eyes again and meeting his gaze. "Thank you for your warm wishes but do we know each other, Mr?" She asked Neel her name even though she knew it perfectly well.Neel chuckled at her question as pain crossed over his soul hearing her words. He knew his Manya was prideful but he never expe
Samanvay threw his wife into their room and closed the door behind him with his foot. He brought her home immediately after the Oberoi couple's face-off. Had he stayed there, he was sure Neel and Sara Oberoi would have been dead by now. But he controlled the devil inside him. He didn't want to disclose his monstrous image in front of the whole world, not that people didn't know about it already. But no one knows the truth. No one was hundred per cent sure about his other identity as the mafia boss. It was nothing but a rumour and Samanvay knew that rumours are more dangerous than the truth itself. He liked it when people felt uncomfortable around him not knowing whether they should cross him or not. Those who didn't dare to cross him, survived because he allowed them to but those who dared to cross Samanvay Goenka. They suffered the brutality of Samanvay Goenka's Hell!"Samanvay…" Manya started but gasped loudly when her husband startled her by grabbing her right arm and pushing her
"Where is Sam?" Lisa asked Manya as she came to her room without knocking. Manya just got out of the Bathroom after a shower at that time. She didn't like the way Lisa interrupted her privacy. She has tolerated everything until now because she didn't care what happened in the house. But this was a direct attack on her privacy and Manya was not going to stand it. It's intolerable to her."Sam?" Lisa called him ignoring Manya when she didn't answer her. "Get out," Manya ordered Lisa who turned her head towards Manya. Her eyebrows raised as she looked at Manya, "What did you say?" She asked in a surprised tone. Lisa Mccain was amazed when the woman standing in front of her dared to order her to get out of Her Sam's room. Manya studied Lisa for a moment before nodding at the door. "I said, get out of my room. And don't ever step foot in it unless you learn to respect the concept of privacy of others. Get out.""Ow!" Lisa chuckled at Manya's daringness. "You," she said, pointing her
19"Is this…is this you?" Manya frowned hearing a small stuttering female voice from the other end of the phone. "Who is it?" Manya asked with a frown as she closed the book she was reading and straightened her posture on the sofa."Are you the lawyer?" The woman asked Manya , whose eyebrows raised as she understood who the girl was. "Yes. I am. And you are the woman I met in Mr Riki's party, aren't you?"The woman was silent for a few seconds before letting out a sob. "Yes, I am.""Your phone call means you have decided to stand for yourself, Miss. Correct me if I am wrong?" Manya inquired. The girl sniffed. " Yes. Yes, I have. I want to get out of this marriage but will you be able to withstand my husband's power? He is not an easy man to deal with." Her voice turned even smaller than before. Manya chuckled at that. "What's your name?" She asked standing up from the sofa and walking to the window as she watched the calm sea but she knew it was nothing but an illusion. The big w
"As per your order, I booked a table in the said restaurant. Is there anything else you want, Sweetheart?" Samanvay asked his wife as he came out of the walk-in closet all dressed up in his usual black suit and blue tie for their lunch date. Manya pinched her brows together, she couldn't get her mind off what John had said to her. She had been thinking about it since yesterday. John's words about Samanvay and Lisa's closeness were disturbing her. "I am asking you something, My sweet," he said, coming behind her and clasping her thin waist in his arms.Manya frowned at his touch and turned around. "Get your hands off my waist," she ordered him. Samanvay raised his eyebrows at the sudden change in her attitude once again. Yesterday she wanted him to book a table for them and today she was acting cold out of sudden."Is there some kind of switch malfunctioning with you, My Sweet?" He asked, raising his chin at her. "Excuse me?" Manya asked as her eyes curled at the corners. Samanvay
"What is Mrs Riki doing here, My Sweet?" Samanvay asked his wife when he returned home with Mr Riki who was forcing himself to act normal and calm but the harshness of his eyes was betraying his act.Manya gave a small smile to her husband before turning her attention to Mr Riki. But his attention were fixed on his wife who was trembling under his hard gaze. "You should have asked me before leaving Arya. You know how worried I get with your safety," His eyes hardened even more in anger while his words were laced with honey when he spoke. Arya looked at him with anxious eyes, her heart was already beating faster than normal in apprehension. She knew he was angry and if he found out what she was planning to do, he was going to destroy her father. Arya's determination to get away from him depleted as she thought about her old father and what Riki could do to him. She looked at Manya for help but Manya gave her an empty look. She was not going to fight Arya's battles for her. Manya wa
"What is that woman doing in my house? How can you allow anyone to stay in my home!" Lisa asked as she barged into Samanvay's room not caring about knocking. She was enraged when she found Mrs Riki in her mansion. Everyone knows that Lisa doesn't like outsiders in her home. That's why she never let Samanvay host dinners here. The business dinners were always hosted on the other side of the garden. Never in the main mansion. Never. And today, someone was staying in her personal sphere. This was unacceptable to Lisa.Samanvay ended his call the moment Lisa entered the room and stood up. "Fuck," he cursed when she questioned about Mrs Riki's presence in the mansion. Her eyes were wild in anger and Samanvay didn't understand how to calm her. "I am asking you something, Sam!" Lisa snapped at him as she shoved him in the chest. Samanvay raised his hands in the surrender gesture. "Calm down, Darling. I will tell you everything. But calm down first." Lisa once again pushed him hard. Samanv
"But where? You said I am safe here. Now you are asking me to come with you?" Arya's eyes went to the luggage bags in Manya’s hand. "Are you sending me somewhere? But Riki will find me," Arya’s hand went to her throat in apprehension as she asked him. "I am not sending you anywhere, Arya. I am leaving this home forever. Now, if you don't mind, shall we leave because I don't want to stay here for a single minute more" Manya stated calmly meeting Arya's anxious eyes with her confident ones. Arya looked at her with a dumbfounded expression on her face. "I don't understand, Mrs Goenka. Why are you leaving your home?"Her questions tired Manya. She inhaled deeply while looking at her firmly. "Arya, you don't have to understand my problems. Now please dress up, we are leaving right away. " She said sternly, her gaze sharp and ordering which left no place for Arya to question further. Arya nodded and changed into the clothes she came here wearing and they both left.But John stopped her
Samanvay was stunned. Oh, all his anger vanished and in its stead pride and lust took over his senses. His wife looked hot showcasing her authority like this. Fuck! He wanted to be alone with her. But first, he needed to witness his wife's bossy avatar a little more. Manya gave Veer a warning glare. “I want to talk to my husband alone.”“You can't. Only his lawyer could do that, if you want to talk to him, bring me the permission of the judge,” the inspector said and Manya’s eyes turned sharp around her corners. “I am his lawyer! Now leave, I want privacy with my client!”Veer fisted his hands angrily as he gave Manya a nod. “Twenty minutes.” “I will decide that not you,” Manya answered sharply and gestured at him with her chin to get out of there. With one angry look at Samanvay, Veer walked out of the cell along with the constable but not before untying Samanvay's hands with anger filled eyes. Manya took a deep breath and finally set her aflamed angry gaze to her husband who wa
“Samanvay Goenka. The Don of Syndicate, The Big Bad Wolf, The king of Darkness, Hades,” Inspector Veer said, pacing around the chair Samanvay was tied to. His voice dripped gravely as he put weight on every syllable describing Samanvay’s dark and shady personality. Samanvay chuckled. “You got one thing wrong, Inspector,” he said in a proud and taunting manner. “I am not a wolf but a Lion,” his words stopped Veer’s pacing around him and he grabbed Samanvay's jaws tightly. “I remember one more thing about you, Samanvay Goenka,” He hissed and got into Samanvay’s face. “The Bastard. You were found in a dumpster right?” Samanvay's eyes darkened as clouds of anger formed in his gaze. “Inspector. Why do you want your future children to bear the fate I bore as a child? Don't you love your life, hm?”Veer’s nose flared when he mentioned his unborn baby. He left Samanvay's jaw only to punch it hard! “Never mention my family again from your disgusting mouth you son of a whore or I will make
John’s eyes froze on the screen of his phone and blood drained off his face. He could see his family crushing under the weight of this news. Lisa would never be able to handle this, and Kiara. Jesus! Everything was ruined. Everything!Manya massaged her temples with her fingers to ease down the pain in her head. “John, will you start the car? I want to go home right now.”“Manya…” John’s stiff voice made her raise her eyes at him. “What?” She asked, her voice careful because from the look on John's face she could see something bad had happened. “What happened John?” she snapped when he didn't answer. John punched the steering wheel of the car hard and Manya stiffened at the violent act. “John?” “The news went viral! The police are doing a press conference telling the world about Samanvay’s arrest. They are trying everything to hype this issue so that Samanvay’s bail gets denied.”Manya clenched her jaws tightly as she glanced at the Home Minister’s residence through a narrowed ga
“The bail is denied,” John informed Milan, whose face contorted in anger and eyes blazed with anger as almost a decade later, Milan Goenka held a gun in his hand again. Not for the show this time, but to use it on someone. “You promised Samanvay not to hold a gun again. Don't break your promise. He would never forgive himself,” John reminded his adopted father. “I am not ready to lose another son of mine!” Milan snapped at John. “Niam Sehgal didn't put Samanvay behind the bars, He threw my reputation behind them!”John raked a hand to his tired face. “Milan, I am already tense. Don't increase my tension. Samanvay will go berserk if anything happens to you. Niam Sehgal is the Home Minister of this state. You can't fight him with guns, Dammit! Do you think anyone could have touched Sam had it been a gunfight!”“Then you tell me what I should do!” Milan all but screamed in frustration. “I Can't lose another son. I can't lose Samanvay. I can’t see him in this condition, John!” Manya'
“Bark again!” Samanvay lashed at John who looked down towards the floor. He knew that if he said something, Samanvay’s anger would only spark further. “I am asking you something, John!” He commanded brusquely. “Five casinos are sealed here and three in Goa. Two more liquor licences were cancelled by the government, this month.” John informed him again and Samanvay’s eyes turned livid. “Have you called the Chief Minister?” He inquired, his voice tight with barely controlled rage. John blew out a breath and shook his head, “Not accepting the call. As per my sources, He gave free hand to Niam Sehgal to ruin your business and reputation.”Samanvay’s eyes went as hard as stones as his anger reached the boiling point. “Manan Raj!” He seethed out as his fingers clenched tightly into a fist. “Samanvay, I think you should leave the country for a while. As things proceed, I can see an ugly faceoff. Niam has political power in his hold. He is dangerous for us right now.”Samanvay’s eyes went
“I don't understand Dad. Why are you saying Lisa could break Sam Bro’s marriage?” Milan Goenka took his daughter’s hand in his hand and let out a deep sigh. “You know Samanvay has a protective instinct about the people in his life. Lisa is obsessed with Samanvay, she considers Viraj and Dylan as her own children. It was good that John called you here or she would have created a scene to name one of the boys as Jacob.”“But why? Lisa is a friend, she can't demand such things from Sam Bro. I know they are very close to each other. He loved Lisa as much as he loves me but still, Dad, Lisa needs to understand her limits.”“Samanvay needs to set some boundaries for Lisa too. If he keeps treating her with kid gloves she would act like that,” Milan said sharply, Kiara frowned at his words.“Talk to Samanvay if you can. I want Lisa and John to live in a separate house from this,” Kiara gasped. “Dad, Sam Bro would never agree to send Lisa away. You know him.”“That's why I am asking you to do
“Kiara?” Milan was astounded to see his daughter standing in front of him. He turned to Samanvay who gave his father a warning glare. Milan kept his mouth shut but decided to talk later about Kiara’s presence here with Samanvay. “Yes, Dad. How do you like my surprise?” She asked with a broad excited smile to her face as she went and hugged her father tightly. “I like it a lot but you should have told me before coming here.”Kiara looked at her father. “Where would have been the surprise in that, Dad?” she asked with a duh Look. “And anyway I have decided to stay here from now on. I am over with London’s climate.”Milan’s eyes snapped to Samanvay again in question who ignored his gaze and pulled Kiara to him. “Come let me introduce you to Manya and your nephews. The smile on Kiara's face widened but her eyes turned sharp and threatening as she asked: “Have you named your kids?” “No,” Samanvay answered, although he was frightened inside thinking about Lisa’s wish to name one of the b
“Mom?” Manya was stunned seeing her mother in her house. “What are you doing here?” Hina Sehgal gave her daughter a soft smile. “I came to meet my grandchildren.”Manya’s throat welled with emotions hearing that. She longed to talk to her mother during her pregnancy phase however, she couldn't. Her pride didn't allow her to take the first step not after what her Father and Brother did. Samanvay never talked but she was aware of how her father was creating issues for him. Manya loves her mother but she knew her father’s domineering nature would never let her mother talk to her. The fact that she was standing in front of her today, was not less than a shock to Manya. “What about Dad, Does he know?” She couldn't help but ask. Hina smiled at her daughter's questions and walked further in the room. “I thought you would be happy to see me here but you keep asking questions, Manya.”Manya held her mother’s shoulders lightly, “You know I am happy to see you here, Mom. But you know how Dad
“Her therapist has high hopes. She is showing positive results from the last few months. Her addiction to liquor is reducing.”Samanvay sighed in relief. He had Lisa’s therapy started immediately after he returnedfrom Greece. He was thankful to the lord for helping him in this. Now that she was showing positive results, He could gradually start hinting to her about his babies. She could be an aunt not a mother to them. Manya’s delivery date waa around the corner. The last seven months passed in a blink, with happiness and ease as Lisa kept her promise and maintained a difference from Him and Manya both. She was blissful about the arrival of the babies.“With God’s will, she will be fine soon, John,” Samanvay was optimistic about her getting fine but not John. He knew the truth behind Lisa’s liquor de-addiction. She was thrilled to get her hands on Samanvay’s son. She was adamant Manya would give birth to boys only and She had already claimed them as hers and Manya as nothing but
