She locked the door from the inside and glided down on the door frame while her tears didn't cease. She didn't make a weeping sound and sat there squeezing the side of her dress. Her hand trembled and her hiccups inflated. Her mind-numbing and heart-aching with her hiccups came out gradually. Her eyes glisten with tears under the moonlight coming from the window. "What was mine fault?" At last, she whispered before laying on the floor and muffling her cries until darkness consumed her and she fell into a deep slumber. The following day she came downstairs ready in her white loose sweater top and high-waisted blue jeans with her bag resting on her shoulder. Her eyes were red and she looked a bit pale which came to Saraha's caution but she didn't voice out as Shanaya put her bag on the empty chair and Sarah served her breakfast. She was on leave and came this morning only. "Good morning Shanaya" Sarah wished her with a polite smile and Shanya returned her smile. "Good morning Sar
He was driving his Bugatti to his mansion. His knuckles turn white with the force on the steering wheel. Only one thing playing in his mind again and again. His hand holding her waist as he was leaning down on her. Two days have passed with them ignoring each other's presence. Every morning they sat for breakfast at the same table but refused to acknowledge each other's existence. She never for once spared him a glance nor did he bother to show his disconcert. His rage took another turn when he received a message from her driver who was assigned to pick up and drop her off also to keep him updated on her whereabouts. He was in a meeting when he received the message along with the short clip and a few photos. Seeing the clip his fury has no boundary. He left the meeting right that time and drove back to his mansion. His earlier frustration was replaced by his anger. A sheer possessiveness surged through his veins seeing his wife in another man's arms. Halting his car at the
"Sir, the media response was quite benefitting as you have regarded," David said and Rajeev gave an affirmed nod lifting his gaze from his laptop. "I knew it, once the marriage news is out every puzzle would fall into their place. This press conference was required to assure the shareholders I still have the upper hand and it came out in handy for my company as I planned" Rajeev said, intertwining his fingers and resting his elbows on the desk, and leaning forward. "The payment will be made within a few days then construction work will be starting from the first week of next month" David informed him. "Alright, what's my schedule for today's meeting?" Rajeev asked and gave a subtle nod before resuming his work on the laptop. After they talked over his schedule David took his leave. Rajeev played dirty and he knew Avyaansh won't be sitting quietly. If given his reaction on that party night he must be outrageous. Rajeev had seen the rebelliousness in his eyes that night. He was inf
Avyaansh attended the business conference at noon before in the evening he left to meet that certain someone. Changing into his tracksuit he stepped into the ring. "Are you ready?" A masculine voice could be heard behind him and Avyaansh gave a shake of his head in agreement before bracing himself for a boxing match. The latter wasted no time in striking and Avyaansh barely dodged a punch before a rough punch connected with his jaw. "You seem distracted, pull yourself together," the latter mused and a mockery laugh could be heard. Avyaansh shook his head with a smirk before he slammed his fist on his stomach. A satisfied smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as the latter rasped in pain but after a pause of a few seconds, he was back lunging on Avyaansh. His muscles flexed and sweat coated his back while a grunt exited his throat when Avyaansh landed a punch on his lower ribs. "Fuck you, man," the latter growled wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth before he turned ba
Things had fallen normal for Shanaya going to college and sometimes she would go out for a movie or shopping with her friends. Since Nia is getting engaged next month they were planning to do a list for her wedding. A week has passed since Avyaansh left for the US the very next day after they shared a kiss. She was more irritated than before. He's just making things too complicated as it already is. Sighing she closed her books when the bell rang and their last lecture was over. She bid bye to her friends and came out of the college. The driver opened the door for her and she occupied the back seat as the driver drove off. Plugging her pods in her ear she played her favourite playlist while leaning on the back seat closing her eyes. The cool breeze of the evening caressed her cheeks and ruffled her open tresses. It felt so soothing. The calming breeze kept her mind off the chaos going in her life even for a mere seconds before her mind was occupied with his thoughts. The car st
He parked his car on the porch before turning his head at the giggling sound. The look on his face was evidence of his annoyance. Heaving a sharp intake he got out of the car and rounding the car opened her side of the door. "Come out," he said, tilting his head, gesturing to her to come out. She looked around her and squealed. "We are home" she giggled before her hooded eyes landed on the posture bending on the door frame and a smile formed on her lips. "Hey," Again she cracked up. Noticing she was in no mood to move he bent down unbuckling her seatbelt and picked her up in his arms in bridal style. "I want to walk, put me down" she whined, whacking on his chest and hurling her legs in the air to show her protest. "Shut up Shanaya, you have had enough for a day" he grumbled before marching inside the mansion. She pouted whining in defeat and clung to his neck as he carried her. A ghost of a smile flitted across his lips as he walked over the couch. He put her on the couch in the
He entered the room and kicked the door lock with his leg as he walked them to the bed with her clinging onto him wrapping her legs around his waist and hands around his neck without breaking the kiss. The room echoed with the kissing sound while they were drowned in each other. He sat on the bed with her straddling him. He broke the kiss only when she was out of breath. This made her inhale a sharp intake through her parted lips. His eyes dropped on the rise and fall of her chest. Her dress was barely covering her upper chest while the dress was pushed up baring her soft creamy thighs only for him to grab her asscheek and squeeze it. She exhaled a shaky breath while her hooded gaze met his blue eyes burning with desire. Their breathing turned ragged with their intense kiss. He stared at her with raw emotions swarming in those icy blue orbs. His mouth latched on her neck and he sucked on her weak spot making her moan in bliss arching her neck in a silent gesture for him to devour h
"Hey," Nia snapped her fingers in front of her eyes to grab her attention. "Huh?" Shanaya replied absentmindedly. "Where were you lost? I was asking about last night" Nia said and a pair of blue eyes flashed in her mind for a fleeting second before she shook her head. "Nothing, I just have a headache" she mumbled, pressing her fingers on her forehead. Her headache still hasn't gone yet the lemonade didn't work well. "I thought he would be mad. You said he won't be in the town for the next two weeks" Tanya spoke while sipping coke and sharing a confused look with Nia. "Yeah, he just got back last night," Shanaya answered. Both girls shared a glance before Nia enunciated. "You were drunk and so was she, thankfully Ranbir was there also so he handled her and then Avyaansh was calling and you were drunk so I answered on your behalf and the rest you know" Nia trailed looking at Shanaya expectantly for an answer. "Yeah, I don't remember much of last night's but I am having a severe heada
Seven months later;Avyaansh sat in his swivel chair, engrossed in his presentation as the soft hum of the office surrounded him. Just then, Natasha walked in, a curious smile on her face. “How’s the presentation coming along?” she asked, settling into the chair across from him. “Almost there,” he replied, his eyes glued to the screen, focused on the task at hand.So many things have changed in these seven months. He has grown a thick beard, which adds a rugged charm to his appearance, and the eye bags under his eyes have become more prominent, hinting at long nights spent contemplating the challenges ahead. His aura now exudes a more dominating presence than before. But his eyes have softened, revealing a depth of understanding and empathy that was previously masked by his stern demeanor.The Avyaansh of the past, who once found the constant smiling of others annoying, has transformed remarkably. He now smiles more often, a genuine expression that reflects his acceptance of change and
“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
