Shivaay was fuming in anger, eyes red as blood and body emitting heat. He walked with long strides towards the room of the person who would be facing his wrath today. His patience level had broken and he felt deceived. He banged open the room door entering scarring the other person ready to pounce like a lion ready to feed on his meal.

He caught her hand dragging her to the corner pushing her against the wall. This action of Shivaay scared Annika and what she saw in his eyes further scared her making her tremble. He dug his nails on her arms literally brusing her.

" How dare you , Annika?" How can you stoop so low ?". Yelled Shivaay with eyes spitting fire.

Annika stammered saying, "wha....at are you saying Mr Oberoi, what did I do ?"

He further dug his nails making her milky skin bleed slightly. Tears streaming down her eyes but still not once did she lower her eyes but tried to push his hands away which he wasn't letting go and what he said next made her stop in her tracks.

" You are just a bloody gold digger, the more I try to understand you, the more you deceive me. Just because I give you a freeway you want to do as you please, you did all that with yourself and blamed someone else, you are so cheap. You are actually showing your mentality your true self. You are so characterless. In order to just get some attention your doing something like this. Is it that you just want some one to touch you. I know your doing this just to grab my attention but know this, I am Shivaay Singh Oberoi and I don't look at women like you ", the venom just flowed out of Shivaay mouth , he was angry not only with her but also with himself as he couldn't see her true self and all of that erupted from him.

Annika just looked at him. Her body shook and her heart shattered into pieces also breaking her from within but still she picked her self up. There was a silence that hung in the air , it felt like the silence after the storm no one knowing if the souls who battered it will survive or no.

It took everything in Annika to push him away and Shivaay stumbles two steps. She spoke though was broken and angry still with a calm voice like she held the hurt inside her she replied, " Mr Oberoi I told you what happened with me, neither did I ask you to come home, neither did I ask for your help". There was a figure looming here and that's what I said, but be rest assured I don't need you to pay any attention to me. Actually I will make your work easier , I won't show my face to you, Now please excuse me". She walked out of the room carrying her jacket to hide the nail marks from Shivaay.

A dark figure lurking in the shadows smirked, as he knew he had broken the bond. Smirking he walked away.

Shivaay banged the wall again flicked his hair and walked out.

The whole day was frustrating for Shivaay and he had fired three employees and broken 4 phones and poor Mishra and khanna were in the receiving end of a lot of anger. In the evening all met for dinner, all knew of what had happened in office but no one knew the reason of Shivaay anger and no one at home also wanted to cross his path today. When Shivaay say down at the dining table he could feel the glances on him finally giving up he exclaimed, " Come on everyone please give it up am fine now" and just like that the chatter began in the Oberoi Mansion.

Post dinner Shivaay was walking through the corridors and unconsciously he came towards Annika room on seeing the darkness, he  immediately entered the room calling out to Annika but found the room empty. Seeing her dress from the other day on the bed his blood boiled again and he stormed out of the room.

Next Morning everyone came to the dining table. Shivaay anger had subsided and a small smile had appeared on his lips as his deal of yesterday had got finalised. He came smiling to the table and everyone congratulated him. He looked around for Annika as well but just couldn't find her. He hadn't seen her yesterday as well. Though he was angry he still felt a void as he didn't see her. He very casually asked and got teasing grins but one glance and Rudra shut up.

Dadi replied munching on her paratha, " Annika has gone to the venue to check for final arrangements as tomorrow we will be all leaving for the farmhouse for the wedding".

Shivaay only nodded as Annika hadn't said anything, he was still in thought when he got a message on his phone. It was from Annika. He smiled but the next minute his smile faded as she had addressed him as sir again and had kept the tone strictly professional and only sent details of the venue. Getting irate again he maintained his professionalism and decided to kill any feelings he had for her as she had crossed all her limits, though his heart never agreed his mind overpowered him this time and he agreed with his mind not allowing his heart to even say a word.

The day passed in a swift motion with all the commotion of the wedding but no one had stressed at all as Annika had made all necessary arrangements. Everyone's clothes jewelleries for all the functions were ready and dadi And Omru we're sitting in Shivaay room as only Shivaay wasn't ready since he had none of his outfits. He was about to throw a fit and rant and rave about Annika incompetency but just then a house help came with many suits in his hand and a note.

Om took the note from his hand and read it aloud, " Mr Oberoi here are your outfits all selected and ready to wear. Please try them on if you don't like any or they don't fit just keep them at the side my team will collect it. All you need to do is place a blue tag where it doesn't fit and a red tag if you don't want it we will finalise another outfit within 2 hours. The outfits have been specially designed for you by your favourite designer. Thank you".

Shivaay was stunned looking at all the outfits and so was everyone else. The outfits were classy not too loud, the perfect blend of everything. Everyone was in awe of Annika choice. Shivaay tried al outfits and they fit perfectly Well.

They all finally left for the venue. Shivaay heart was feeling very heavy with not seeing Annika at all and how all her messages were via someone or sms but no talk and definitely no seeing. Everytime he thought about this almost immediately his mind clouded it with all that happened at home and he would get angry again.

They reached the venue and were surprised to see all the decorations which was so elegant and vibrant. Today was the engagement party. All moved to their rooms and for the ladies the stylist were already waiting. The Oberoi - Malhotra wedding kickstarted with pomp for everyone except one soul who was broken fighting her battle all alone.
