Chapter 15 (a) I watched Bhabhi’s sister glare at me. I had been out for a stroll. I mean what else could I do? I was stuck here in London for a three week conference and seminar. The bane of being an Oberoi especially when your brother is in a coma and the other is doing damage control, you get sent to seminars and conferences just for show. I mean I had not noted anything down. I had drawn caricatures of the speakers while Neha, Shivaay’s assistant took down all the notes. I was just a dummy placed there. I…

Aarya POV “Annie, you have to do this. If not they will go after your sister. She has finally moved away from here.” I spoke to the silence in the room. “But Aarya, think about it. Who cares about your stupid sister? When have you? You always think about yourself. Just run away. I mean now you have the freedom but after the bidding you will be trapped.” I felt the Annie in the mirror speak back to me. “Anika is safe like this. She is looking after Shivani and Shivaay will look after her.” I snapped back. The Annie…

Anika POV Annie had once again placed her entire body on me. Ugh…..this girl…when did she become so heavy. I slowly opened my eyes and looked straight into his face. I quickly got up. My body ached. “Ahhhh!” My head was searing. I looked around the room. The room was a mess. I could see clothes splayed all over the room. I gripped the sheets to my chest. The body next to me moved. “Ow.” He sat up. I cowered in a corner. I knew he would lash out. He rubbed his eyes and looked at me. I watched his…

Soumya POV I watched as that witch came down the stairs with her hand wrapped around my Jiju’s arms. I glanced over at my sister, I could see tears pooling up in her eyes. I watched as Papa held her. It was at moments like this that I wished we hadn’t lost our mother 2 years ago. She had ensured that both her daughters had found eligible men before departing. But now, one was fighting for his life while the other was married to his mistress. I clenched the package in my hand. She would pay today. I will make…

Shivaay POV I watched her body stiffen. Did she understand what Badima had said? “Badima, there are things we need to discuss, but not now.” I said in a low tone, my gaze flicked to Anika standing rigidly by our family portrait. Badima’s lip curled in mock. “You think she understands a word of our conversation? Then you are a fool, Shivaay. Rudra told me she doesn’t know Hindi. He even told she’s not that educated. I want you to beware of this immoral woman. Try to stay as far as possible.” I felt my jaw tighten. Anika turned to…

Anika POV
 The buzzing of my phone was what brought me awake. Ugh…..who would call so early in the morning. I am not the president or something. “Hello.” I said sleepily. “Hey Sissy. Thanks for the money.” Annie. I gritted my teeth thinking about yesterday. “That’s good.” I snapped. I heard some shuffling in the background. “What happened, Anika?” Her voice sounded concerned. Almost like the sister I knew. I felt a lump in my throat. “Ri, he tried to force himself on me.” There was silence at the other end. And then the call got cut. Had I gotten…

Anika POV As I rushed into my room, I heard my phone buzz from my bag on the floor. I lifted it up to see the Caller Id show Ri. The only place Annie had still been saved as my baby sister. I picked the phone. “Is that you?” I said. with my voice down by a notch. “Of course it’s me.” Annie said in a cheerful tone. “How soon can you send me the money? I need it urgently.” So much for congratulating me on my wedding. I thought as I clenched my teeth. “What about your boyfriend? Isn’t…

Anika POV
Shivaay stood at the bottom of the stairs with Om and Shivani by his side. I felt Nia squeeze my hand lightly. We both were not talking especially after she yelled at me for not telling Shivaay. I was wearing the red lehenga that I had bought. Nia had made me wear the bridal bangles. This was usually done by the mother’s brother but she was the closest I had to family, so she did it in instead. Shivaay was staring at me almost spellbound. “You were saying he hated you.” Nia whispered. “There is a difference between desire…

Author’s Note: Thank You all so much for the love. I enjoy writing it just because of your reviews. Yes, Om gets to know before Shivaay as some of you begged. Rest I can’t answer now. Hope you all will like the chapter. Please don’t forget to review. Anika POV
Shivaay not being around was a huge boon. I could look around the house without anyone making comments. Om mostly stayed in his studio and when he did come out. It was only to take Shivani out to the garden. Mina and Asha just shot glares at me and made rude…
