Shanaya pushed him and ran to the random side "now catch me if you can" shouted back at him. He shook his head and ran after her. She was laughing and running around the shore freely. She felt delighted and wanted to be careless for a while. As she saw him approaching her she ran faster screaming in excitement but not faster than him. He grabbed her wrist easily but her feet twisted and they both fell on the sand. Her back hit the ground and Avyaansh was on top of her hovering over her. Both were panting hard after the run and were staring at each other. None of them said a word. Avyaansh dipped his head in the crook of her neck and inhaled her hair. She shivered in his hold and shut her eyes. Her intoxicating lavender scent was addicting him and he wanted nothing more but to inhale her intoxicating smell. However, he pushed his arms and stood up it was then she released a breath that she was holding. Avyaansh forward his hand and she grasped it and he pulled her up. "I have somet
"So, everything is going according to the plan?" Natasha asked, taking her seat in front of the wooden desk in his cabin. "You should know better as you kept a watch on me," Avyaansh said calmly while working on his laptop. They were in the office and Natasha came to his cabin to confront him. "It seems easy to trap her as she's already in love with you. Just one kiss and she went all mushy in your arms, no?" Natasha mocked rolling the paperweight in her hand. Her gaze was dead set on him. Avyaansh's head snapped at her and his jaw clenched. "I told you it was a part of the plan. I had to make it look real" He gritted every word. For the last two days, Natasha had annoyed the hell out of him by bringing up that topic again and again. Although he didn't plan for that kiss, it was the heat of the moment and he got carried away. But the thing is that he didn't want to define himself so he just lied about it as a part of the plan. Natasha sensed the thing which Avyaansh was unaware of.
He was driving his black sedan on the streets of the city for a long time. It was lunchtime when he left Singhania heights and till now he was driving on the streets taking over the neighboring cars. He halted his car on the vacant road and heaved a breath. Taking out his phone he dialed his security team. "I want every detail about this man by tonight. Do whatever you have to do. I need the reports by tonight, his background, family everything" ordering his best hacker team he drove back to his office. "Send Natasha ma'am to my cabin," he ordered his assistant going inside his cabin when Tarun instantly replied "Natasha ma'am went out for a meeting, she left some files for you to sign," he said, forwarding the file files to him. He busied himself with work which could distract him for some time. He went through his laptop and completed his pending work. It was already off time as everyone left. Tarun also left after informing him and he nodded. He decided to leave and talk with N
The next day after breakfast she was in her room when she got a message from Neil. 'Get ready, I'll pick you up in an hour'. She sighed and got up from the couch and walked into the washroom. She changed her dress into a simple white shirt and blue jeans. An hour later Neil picked her and they drove to the shopping mall. Avyaansh was in his office working on his laptop when he got the call from his man. Sliding the green icon he answered the call. "Sir, I got the CCTV footage of that jewellery shop and sent it to you already. They are in a fashion boutique right now" that man said and he hung up the call. After a minute he received a video and played it on his laptop and saw her entering the jewellery shop with Neil. He watched that video keenly and his blood boiled looking at the footage when Neil dragged her to one of the corridors and pushed her against the wall with a jerk. The footage has no sound but he could see her fearful eyes and shivering in her body. 'Was she afraid of h
Avyaansh didn't want Neil to see her in this dress when she was looking this breathtakingly beautiful. He felt the urge to hide her. His brows knitted in confusion at his own thoughts. "Okay, I had chosen another dress for you. I am leaving it here so try it also" Neil said and they heard his footsteps fading away. Once Avyaansh was sure Neil was gone. He opened the door and picked up that dress and gave a disgusting look, looking at the dress. "It won't look good on you. That one is better" Avyaansh said when he gave keen attention to her dress. She looked breathtakingly beautiful. Her lehenga was below her navel and her blouse perfectly fit her curves. Her slender neck was in view. The crimson-red color highlighted her creamy white skin. He could barely take his eyes off of her. Shanaya lowered her eyes, feeling his burning gaze on her. "Please leave now, I need to change," she said in a small voice without meeting his gaze. He held her chin between his thumb and forefinger and m
"Please save me, I didn't know how this got out" he begged in frustration while Rajeev was being more suspicious about him. Before Rajeev could ask further, the door of the cabin opened and a few police officers came along with a senior officer inside the cabin. Rajeev frowned looking at the number of officers and then he looked at Neil who was sweating. "Mr. Singhania sorry to barge in your office but we have an arrest warrant against Mr. Neil Singh," The senior officer said and Rajeev's eyes widened. "What?" He barked at the officer. "Do you have any idea what the hell are you even saying?" Rajeev shouted at the senior officer who remained unfazed by his shouting. "We have proof of Mr. Neil's involvement in drug dealings and some illegal business. Someone has filed a complaint against him" when the senior officer said Rajeev turned to Neil with anger forming on his face. "Unless he's proven innocent we have to take him under custody. Sir, We are doing our job please cooperate" say
She sat in her room cladded in the designer lehenga. Her face was adorned with flawless makeup and her hair was pinned in a loose bun securely while two strands were teasing her cheeks on both sides. Her veil rested on her head. Her hands and feet are adorned with beautiful henna designs. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. She looked breathtakingly beautiful and why not, today is her marriage. Her heartbeat accelerated with the thought she was going to be his bride. She was anticipating just before yesterday she was not happy with her marriage and now she was going to marry the man she desires. She was nervous that would be an understatement. She grabbed her phone and checked the messages but he still didn't reply to her. She wanted to talk with him before marriage but he still didn't reply to her nor did he contact her. A knock sounded on her door and she fixed her veil before saying ''come in'' Tanya and Nia came to her side with mischievous smiles. "OMG Shanaya, you're
Sun rays peeped from the large windows in the hallway. The birds chirped in the garden. Her veil lay carelessly on the floor beside her. The cold breeze caressing her bare back made her stir. Her hair sprawled on the headrest while she was sleeping carefree on the couch. It was 6 am when his car halted at the gate and the guard opened the door for him. He passed out at Natasha's place last night due to alcohol. He went there just after dropping Shanaya at his mansion. He got out of his car and walked inside the mansion. He just wanted to have a cold shower and take a quick nap before going to the office. He entered the mansion and was welcomed with a foreign warmth in the air. He was about to walk up to his room when his eyes landed on her. His brows knitted in confusion when he found her sleeping on the couch in a sitting position, still donning her wedding dress. He couldn't forget how breathtaking she looked last night. He just couldn't take his eyes off her. Her back was facin
“I started working as your nanny when you were just five years old. You were a timid child, hesitant to warm up to strangers. However, it didn't take long for me to encourage you, and soon you began to form a bond with me. There came a time when I had to leave my job to look after my brother when he fell ill. But when I received the call saying you fell sick and missing me, I rushed back to you without hesitation. Since then, I've been living here with you. All this time, I believed your mother had passed away, as I had been told. Not once did I suspect that you weren't his real daughter.” Reema Bi said the last part with a frown, sitting on the bed, gently stroking Shanaya's hair as she lay with her head in her lap.“Even I didn't imagine in my worst nightmare of him being a murderer of my parents and pretending to be a father figure all these years,” she sniffed and the tremble in her body didn't go unnoticed by Reema bi who felt a tug in her heart. “He showed so much love and care l
The commotion from outside echoed through the opulent halls as Ryan dashed inside, the guards followed closely behind him with weapons, cladded in a black suits with earpieces on ears, their faces set in grim determination.The guards stood behind Avyaansh, waiting for his command to spring into action. Reluctantly, he broke the embrace that held him captive against his will. Standing beside Shanaya, he intertwined his fingers with hers and ordered the guards. “Take him to my warehouse and call the doctor to treat his wounds. He should be healed enough to take my wrath. He souldn't just die so easily,”He glanced at Shanaya from the corner of his eye, but she remained impassive, even after hearing his plans for Rajeev, she didn't show any reaction which he was expecting. Deep down, she had accepted the truth and recognized the real monster. Rajeev was no longer her concern. How Avyaansh chose to make him pay was not her business anymore.Everyone around her had only fed her lies—wheth
While they were standing aiming their guns against each other. There was a commotion at the entrance that drew Rajeev's attention and he went alert. Avyaansh smirked looking at Rajeev's blanched face losing its colors. Ryan has already surrounded the mansion with their guards. Outside, the armed men surged forward like a dark tide, their movements swift and calculated. They spread out around the mansion, a well-coordinated assault aimed at dismantling Rajeev's defenses. The guards, once confident in their numbers, now found themselves outmatched, falling one by one to the relentless onslaught. The sharp crack of gunfire punctuated the air, mingling with the shouts of men caught in the throes of battle. Each confrontation was brutal and swift; the sound of bodies hitting the ground echoed through the mansion. Neil, battered and bruised, slowly rose from the ground, the metallic taste of blood lingering on his lips. He wiped the crimson streak from his mouth with a shaky hand. With ea
Shanaya's world shattered in an instant. The foundation of her reality crumbled beneath her feet. She felt a surge of anger and confusion, mixed with a deep sense of grief. How could the person she thought was her father turned out to be the devil? The weight of the truth settled upon her like a ton of bricks, and she felt as if the ground beneath her was crumbling. Her mind raced, trying to process the implications of what she had just learned. The once familiar and safe image of her father had been shattered, replaced by a dark and sinister reality.Shanaya's tears swelled, blurring her vision, she found herself engulfed in a sea of emotions - a tumultuous mix of anger, confusion, and heartbreak. The room seemed to constrict around her, suffocating her with its oppressive weight, making it hard to breathe. Her legs trembled as she approached the man holding a gun in his hand. Avyaansh stood facing Rajeev, who ominously aimed a gun at him. Shanaya, despite her trembling legs, walke
Flashback;Harsh was returning with his family from their delightful vacation in Switzerland. As they emerged from the airport, his chauffeur was already waiting with the sleek car. He gently held little Shanaya in his arms, her eyelids heavy with sleep. Taking the keys, he dismissed the driver and settled into the driver's seat. The car glided away as the night drew closer. "Mumma, I wan ish cleam,"(I want ice cream) three-year-old Shanaya uttered in her adorable, gibberish voice, Her big, expressive brown eyes gazed out of the window. "Darling, you already had two ice creams before the flight; it's not good for you, you might catch a cold," her mother gently told her, causing Shanaya to pout and glance at her dad with her big brown eyes as if bribing her father. Seated on her mother's lap, Shanaya looked up at Harsh as he was driving the car, focusing on the road. "Daddy, I wann ish cleam," Shanaya insisted, tugging at her father's shirt. "Alright, sweetheart, we'll be there in no
"And now, it's your turn," Rajeev uttered as he retrieved a gun from the inner pocket of his coat, aiming it directly at Avyaansh. ”Wait,” Neil's voice echoed sharply in the living room, cutting through the tense air like a knife as he approached them, passing by Avyaansh, and positioning himself next to Rajeev, his eyes fixed on Avyaansh who knelt before them. "Why the rush, Dad?" Neil's words carried a mix of anger and frustration, his gaze piercing into Avyaansh. "I still have unfinished business with him, a debt to settle. He held me captive in that fucking warehouse, giving me endless torment, relentless beatings," Neil's recount of the ordeal was laced with bitterness.As Neil spoke, Avyaansh met his gaze with a smug expression, a silent taunt that seemed to convey a message of 'you deserve far worse.' The sight fueled Neil's anger, his frustration bubbling over as he strode purposefully towards Avyaansh, delivering a powerful blow to his jaw. Avyaansh's head snapped to the side
Avyaansh was driving his car when Ryan's call came in. Swiftly plugging his ear pods, he answered, "Yes Ryan," his attention divided between the conversation and the road ahead. "Your assumptions were spot on. He had strategically placed his dogs around your mansion," Ryan's voice relayed over the phone. Just two days prior, he had touched down in India, setting the stage for what lay ahead.“Shanaya is en route to Singhania house. You handle the rest. I'll be at the mansion in fifteen minutes,” he ordered over the phone. Ryan replied in agreement before ending the call, shifting his focus back to the task of driving.As he arrived at the mansion, a truck of guards stationed outside the grand estate immediately caught his attention. Several men, armed with rifles, stood vigilantly at the entrance and scattered around the porch, their stern expressions painting a picture of seriousness and tension. As he glanced at the cluster of men, a smirk played on his lips, exuding an air of confi
It was pitch-black outside while he was inside the gym room of his penthouse. The stillness of the room was broken by the rhythmic thuds of his fists against the punching bag, echoing through the darkness. It was like he was battling his inner demons under the cover of night. With each punch, he unleashed a torrent of pent-up frustration and anger. Sweat poured down his face, drenching his brow. His eyes blazed like fiery embers, fueled by the intensity of his rage. The force of his blows reverberated through the punching bag, causing it to shake violently. It was as if her words had ignited a fire within him, consuming his every thought. “How could you, Avyaansh? How could you stoop so low? My father, the man I've known my entire life, is not capable of such a heinous act. I don't believe in your false accusations, even if I am dying”. He was so consumed by his rage that he wasn't even concerned about his bleeding knuckles. He ripped off his gloves with his teeth and unleashed his b
The car was zooming down the empty road, moving swiftly in the dark night. The cool breeze brushed against her face, soft and gentle. She sat quietly, staring out the window, lost in her thoughts. He was driving, stealing glances at her every now and then. They hadn't said a word to each other for the past half an hour. Her shallow breaths were the only sound in the car. His phone suddenly beeped with a notification. He swiftly grabbed his phone and saw Ryan's name flashing on the screen. Bringing the car to a stop at the end of the bridge, he turned his head towards her. She remained still, her gaze fixed on the window. "Let's go down the bridge, there's a beautiful lake nearby. We can spend some time there," he suggested, unbuckling his seatbelt. Before he could assist her, she took the initiative and opened her car door, stepping out. He let out a sigh and followed suit, joining her by her side. “Shanaya, won't you talk to me,” He asked, sitting on the bonnet of his car while she
