It was close to dinner time when Avyaansh returned from the office. He found Shanaya sitting in the living room with her phone in her hand. Walking towards her he dropped his head a little from behind her to peek at her phone at what she was doing. Shanaya was so engrossed in her phone that she didn't feel his presence behind her. He found her going through the pictures of their marriage that Nia and Tanya took and sent them to her. In one picture he was filling her hairline and she had her eyes closed. That picture looks so adorable. A smile graced her lips but soon she got startled by the voice behind her. "What are you doing?" She almost shrieked and her phone fell on the floor with a thud. Her heart almost came to her mouth. He scared the shit out of her. Looking at him she inhaled a breath before picking up her phone as she stood in front of him. He smirked and plopped down on the couch in front of her. Sarah came with a glass of water and offered it to him. "Sir, should I
She lay on her bed, her eyes staring at the ceiling blankly. Silent tears escaped her eyes and vanished in her hairline. Sleep was far away from her eyes. Her face turned red due to continuous crying. Her hand fisted over the blanket when she recalled the occurrence a few hours ago. She strolled to her room when Avyaansh left, wiping her tears harshly from her face. She straightly went to the closet and dragged her suitcase out. Thankfully she didn't arrange her clothes and things in the closet. She descended the stairs and was about to reach the door when a hold on her wrist halted her steps. A harsh pull on her arm and she landed on his hard chest. His arms wrapped around her waist in a tight grip. She hissed and struggled to get out of his clutch. "Leave me" she spat while angry tears soaked her cheeks. "Seems like you didn't get what I told you earlier" He chuckled and jerked her closer to him. "I am not staying here with you, leave me" she was adamant and he mused. He li
He was driving his Bugatti towards his mansion when he got a call from an officer who was accounted to keep tabs on Neil. Who he's meeting and whom he's trying to contact. He had made sure Rajeev Singhania won't reach him. The officer notified him Rajeev was trying to meet him but as per his arrangements, he didn't get to meet Neil yet. Rajeev had contacted the chief minister to get the permit but it will take a few days. Avyaansh smirked thinking about how to vent his fury. He was frustrated after he argued with Natasha but now he got a punching bag to vent out his anger. Taking a U-turn he drove towards the police station. A constable led him the way towards the cell where they had kept Neil. The constable unlocked the door and Avyaansh motioned him to leave him alone. Avyaansh saw him covered in bruises. As per his demand, they have beaten him nicely thoroughly and thoroughly. As Neil looked up he saw a man standing in the middle of the cell. His face was hidden in the shadows.
She locked the door from inside and leaned on the door placing her hand on her rapid beating heart. "That was close" She was still breathing laboriously. Their proximity always affects her and now when they are staying together under the same roof she wonders how she will control her heart. Till the time she came out of the washroom her bedding was done neatly and he was sitting on the couch waiting for her looking handsome as usual with his messy hair and wearing a simple tee with trousers. She likes it when he wears casual clothes. "Done staring at me" Her cheeks heated up at his observation and she looked away licking her lips out of habit. "Come here," he said and she walked towards the single seater and took her seat. By now her fever was gone but she was still feeling weak. She grabbed the bowl and made a face. "Again porridge, I had porridge for lunch" she whined with pouty lips looking at the bowl and he couldn't help the smile gracing his handsome face. "You are cute" It
At RM Holdings;A knock sounded on the door and a girl entered after getting permission. "Sir, here's the briefing from the marketing department. And these files need your signature" she said in her professional tone putting the files on the table. She is an employee in the marketing department. Since Tarun left with the team for a site visit she was managing his works along with hers. "Alright, call for the shareholders meeting and check those files for some errors," Avyaansh said, lifting his eyes from his laptop and pointing towards the bunch of files lying on the coffee table "Alright sir" She left after nodding at him. In the morning when he woke up Shanaya was sleeping soundly resting her head on his chest. He couldn't brush off the image of her sleeping in his arms. His heart skipped a beat as he stared at his beautiful wife snuggling into him for comfort. Her face was devoid of any makeup, her lips were pouted and her messy hair sprawled on the pillow still he found her ador
Opening the door she stepped inside her room followed by him. She turned back when she heard the clicking sound of the door. Avyaansh locked the door and the next second a surprise gasp escaped her lips when she was pinned to the wall with him towering over her. His eyes bore into her big brown eyes while his jaw twitched in anger. She gulped in fear, gaping at him with her wide eyes. He appeared like a beast looking mad. He always intimidates her. "Av…Avyaan—" he shushed her by placing his finger on her lips. "Why did you leave?" He hissed at her while inching closer to her. His both palms resting on either side of her head. Their bodies were just a few inches apart from touching each other. She looked too small in front of him like a rabbit. "I…I was… about—" he again cut her in mid jerking her shoulder and bringing her closer to him. His minty breath fanned her forehead and she sucked in a harsh breath. "When I clearly told you not to go anywhere, still you defy me" his jaw tick
He was driving his Bugatti at full speed taking over the neighbouring cars. His knuckles turned white with the force he was clutching the steering wheel. The neighbouring cars honked at him angrily for speeding up the car yet he could care less what resonated in his mind was a mocking voice inside his head. "Don't get a distraction," "You are being soft with her," "Don't forget she's the daughter of the enemy," Natasha's sharp voice played inside his head like a reel. She was right when she said he had a change of heart yet he was determined to prove her theory wrong but eventually, it turned out to be true. He surely had lost his f*cking mind when he was kissing her. "I want to give our marriage a chance" he closed his eyes when Shanaya's face came into his sight. Those shining brown orbs held so much hope that he felt his chest tightening. How can he break her? She would be shattered at the end of the game. He should have stuck to the plan. He shouldn't have gone soft on
Ma'am, sir has sent this for you and they are here to help you to get ready" Shanaya looked up and found a maid and two other girls standing in her room. They are professional makeup artists and they have brought her outfit for the party along with her heels, clutch, and jewellery. She sighed looking at all the bags they had placed on the coffee table. She had asked Avyaansh not to throw a big party for her birthday and Avyaansh assured her it's a business party he and Rajeev are signing the deal and she was reviled. She doesn't like meeting strange people or rather she likes to spend her special day with close ones which include her father, Reema bi, Tanya, Nia, and now Avyaansh. She wanted to spend the whole day with him but he was occupied with work and she had to wait till the evening. Sighing, she stood up and went to the washroom to take a shower. The beauticians did her makeup and Shanaya asked to keep it light. Since her dress was off-shoulder it was giving her an all
“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
