Three Days Later.

Anjali has been feeling really guilty as Shyam's constant mood swings was making her more sure that Arnav and Khushi were telling the truth.

He never stopped badmouthing Khushi and accusing Khushi of breaking the family and constantly wants to know where Khushi was from Payal who always ignored him and he saw how angry he always gets when Payal didn't answer him and of course he didn't know Anjali knew about this because she didn't make it known that she heard it hiding.

She moved down stairs to find three of Mami's kitty party friends Naina, Bhumi, Nandini and Akash chatting and she was surprised to see him home at this time.

She limped closer to them and greeted all of them as Mami pulled her to sit by her side.

"Hello hi bye bye, where is that useless girl. " Mami exclaimed annoyed at not seeing Payal since morning.

Akash fisted his hand to control his anger hearing this mother insult his wife and this was only noticed by Anjali who was about to say something when the door opened and in entered Payal.

She walked pass all of them as if they didn't exist which pissed off mami.

"Khoon bari tang didn't you see us. " Mami yelled at Payal who stopped and turned to face them with a cold expression which sent shivers down Akash and Anjali's spine and the both looked at each and back at Payal.

They knew the woman standing in front of them was no longer the timid Payal but someone else but Mami didn't see it since she was so engrossed in humiliating Payal but only if she knew today was her last day as an honorable woman in society.

She turned to her so called friends who were enjoying the fact that Mami was about to humiliate Payal like always but just like Mami, their karma was about to hit them.

"See the reason why I didn't want my son to marry these kind of low life........ She is now all high and mighty, she is also pompous because she had Arnav's support all because my poor Arnav has been bewitched by her sister"

Akash and Anjali looked confused and stunned by her words but what one of her friends said made them realize Mami had spread what had happened in RM to them.

"Don't mind her Manu..... First her sister trapped and turned him against our poor Anjali, trapped Shyam and now he doesn't even come home to have dinner with the family all because of a slut like her sister. " Bhumi exclaimed arrogantly and in disgust

And the remaining friends looked at Payal in disgust as well but Payal wasn't fazed at all which pissed Mami off because she wanted to see her hurt and humiliated because seeing Payal hurt was like her biggest joy.

Payal walked up to them and stared at all of them and back to her friend who called Khushi a slut.

She squirmed under Payal's gaze especially with the creepy smile on Payal's face.

"It take one slut to know another slut. "

The women gasped in shock whist Akash's eyes widened in shock at his wife's words.

"You are the cheap whore who fucked her sister's fiance and got pregnant for him and poor man had to marry you and live a miserable life with you...... The bastard born out of that immorality is a druggie and is whore who sleeps with every man she can find and has been divorced three times in the span of six years so Mrs Bhumi Raichand, you and your daughter are first class whores and let come to you Mrs Nandini Ambani, you trapped your boss who divorced his barren wife after you got pregnant with his son, the useless son who has been caught countless times soliciting for drugs and prostitutes but since he is the only child of you and your husband, he bribes everyone into silence and you Mrs Naina Malhotra, the mistress cum wife of industrialist Malhotra, is also as characterless just like your friends here, you trapped your boss, got pregnant and was made a wife afterwards...... I finally see why the four of you are such close friends because after you all have so many things in common..... One is middle class. " Payal gasped pretentiously and laughed. "Sorry low class women who used their beauty to trap men...... Two the four of you got pregnant before marriage........ Three all the men were coincidentally rich, married or your bosses......... Bravo to the quartet of whores...... And you all have the nerve to judge me and my sister. " By now Payal was pissed and her tone and body language says it all and they were all paralyzed with shock and fear. "Your spineless, pathetic excuse of a son chased after me when I rejected him countless times. " Mami flinched at the intensity of her voice and her humiliated friends looked at each other shocked and back to a petrified Mami.

"Manu didn't you say she chased after your son so what is she saying? " Naina asked confused and Mami closed her eyes knowing her lie has been exposed and she glared at Payal but it didn't stop her.

"Well she lied to you because her filthy son here was the one chasing after me promising me the whole world even though I rejected him countless times. " Payal said throwing a disgusted look at Akash's who's eyes was shimmering with instead tears and shock on his face.

He remembered this promise to Payal on their new year date and he felt sick to his stomach knowing he failed.

"He watch his illiterate mother call me names and abuse me emotionally and psychologically and did nothing...... Then came his so called di who became another demon in my life because she couldn't accept her husband was a criminal and guess who was to be blamed because the puppeteer of the Raizada family was crying and hurting. "

Payal then revealed all that had happened a few months ago and the abuse Akash has put her through because of this and Anjali looked at her cousin in shock as she stumbled back into the sofa.

An angry Mami marched up to her and slapped her shocking everyone and Payal didn't even flinch.

"How dare you humiliate me like this!...... and how dare you lie about my son...... I can make my son divorce you now. " Mami yelled as she lifted her hand to slap Payal but she held her hand midway.

"Don't worry Mrs Raizada...... I am divorcing your son and I only came to this house to pack my bags. " Akash's world came crushing down hearing Payal and the tears betrayed him. "But before I leave, I have a surprise for you. "

The shock on Mami's face turned into a frown and she followed Payal's gaze and her eyes widened seeing the police standing at the door and beside them were a fuming Arnav and Nk.

"As you have witnessed, this is the multiple proofs of her abuse towards Payal and these so called friends of hers are here accomplices. " Nk said shocking everyone except Payal who knew the reason the police was here.

The commissioner moved closer to a shivering Mami and called at her.

"Your daughter in law come to us with to file a case of domestic abuse, verbal and psychological abuse against her by you...... At first I thought a woman associated with ARS and Manohar my best friend will never do something like this but they showed me the proof of you throwing hot coffee at her and I come to arrest you and look at what I just saw...... Another round of your abuse and her own husband and sister in law standing there doing nothing to stop you....... Arrest all of them immediately. "

This shocked Nk and Payal and this didn't go unnoticed by the commissioner who explained looking at Payal.

"They are either accomplices or witnesses to her abuse and that will be determined when we get to the police station. "

Immediately he was done, they were all handcuffed with Akash crying and begging Payal to forgive him and Anjali yelling out Arnav's name but he royally ignored her.

Bhumi, Naina and Nandini were professing their innocence but it was all on deaf ears.

Arnav, Nk and Payal watched as the police cars moved out of the mansion and disappeared in the distance.

Payal burst out in tears and hugged Arnav who reciprocated and Nk rubbed her back to calm her down.

"I didn't mean for things to go this way. " She confessed as she broke the hug and Arnav wiped her tears.

"They deserve it and knowing Mr Thakur, he won't spare them....... This is actually helpful because know you divorce with Akash will be more easier. "

Payal nodded and was lost in thought and both men knew she was thinking about how to reveal everything to the rest of the family.

"I will explain everything to them. " Arnav said breaking her reverie. "But you can't stay here....... Nk pack you bags and Payal you also do the same...... You are staying with Khushi and Nk will be there to take care of you two...... I will be the one to face the family because I don't want anyone guilting you to forgive Akash or Mami...... Now go because Nani will be here from the temple any minute from now. "

They both nodded and left and within ten minutes, they were in a car driving out of RM and heading to Arnav's apartment where Khushi and Shashi were living.

Five Hours Later.

Dadi and Shyam entered the house to find Nani crying at something on a phone and nonchalant Arnav staring at her.

They both looked at each other confused and moved closer to see a video of Mami splashing coffee on Payal and hauling insults at her.

"Hey devi maiya, why did she do something like this and why did Akash stay silent when Manu was abusing her? " Nani cried out and Arnav looked at her pissed.

"Nani really. " Nani looked at her grandson confused. "She got the powers to do this because of you. " Nani asked in shock and hurt by his accusation. "You never made her fear you and gave her the freedom to do anything she wants....... You are a silent spectator who watch the drama unfolds and never do anything but when it's about your beloved Anjali, then you become a tiger....... She, Akash, Mami and her filthy friends are now in jail and you already know how Thakur is serious about abuse against women...... I have called uncle and he is on his way to India but warned Nani, Mami will never be free because this time Payal is not joking and you better not blackmail her using her so called aunt and mother...... Excuse me. " Arnav walked towards the door and threw a disgusted look at Shyam and Dadi who looked shocked.

Dadi walked towards a crying Nani and sat in front of her and asked what was wrong.

She had no other choice than to tell her the whole truth.

Shyam gulped in fear as it finally dawned on him that Arnav has really let go off Anjali for good if he is capable of watching Anjali getting dragged to the police station without stopping them.

"All my plans have now gone to waste nd not even bringing Dadi back will solve anything....... I have to leave Anjali now because she is no longer useful to me." Shyam thought and walked away into their room.

Dadi and Nani looked at each other confused by his action.

"Devi don't worry, Shyam is a lawyer and will help us get Anjali out. " Dadi assured Nani who nodded.

Meanwhile in Anjali's room, Shyam had packed all his bags and opened Anjali's jewelry safe.

He hesitate for a bit praying she hasn't taken them for polishing like she always does and vest to his luck, he opened it and found them in it.

He smiled and pack them all not living a single one behind.

He knew they were worth millions that could allow him live lavishly for a couple of years until he meets his next target.

He start on the recliner in their room and smiled imagining the best life he was going to have soon.

He quickly took his bags and walked downstairs and Dadi and Nani who saw him was shocked seeing him holding his bags and looking relaxed instead of being devastated that his wife was in prison.

"Shyam what's with the bags..... Please if you are going on one of your business trips then don't and please save our Anju. " Nani begged pathetically and Shyam began laughing the the two elderly women looked at him confused.

"I am not going and any business trip...... These bags are my things because I am leaving your beloved granddaughter because now she is of no use to me...... She is barren and penniless and frankly she is very horrible in bed and I tolerated all of it because she was ASR's sister and my mistresses outside always made sure I was sexually fulfilled and all I had to do was buy them gifts with your granddaughter's money...... Oh I mean ASR'S money but now she has none and I need to find another dumb woman to fulfill my needs both financially and sexually. "

Nani and Dadi were stunned by his confession and Nani stumbled back on to the couch behind her in shock and Dadi's shock turned into anger and marched up to Shyam and slapped him but he looked nonchalant with a smirk on his lips.

"You bastard, so you tricked me into believing you were a good man...... You come to my hemitage and pretended that you were innocent and like a fool I follow you and helped you come into this house. Now I believe that girl and her sister and you had indeed kidnapped my grandson" Dadi yelled and Shyam noodded and smiled at her like a maniac.

"Oh stop with the charade, you only helped me because you were tired of living at that filthy elderly home and my story was the perfect opportunity to get you access to this mansion, so stop pretending you came with me for you Anjali...... Go ahead and deny it. " Shyam challenged leaving Dadi speechless and Shyam smirked seeing her silent.

"Chote! " Nani's enthusiastic voice broke their reverie and the both looked at her confused and followed her gaze to find Arnav standing at the door and the look in his eyes sent shivers down Shyam's spine.
