Shivansh's pov
I woke up from my sleep having a severe headache. I discovered myself on my bed covered in my blanket.
Last night I drank too much and it's all about the result of too much alcohol. I clearly remembered that Ankush was in the bar. That means he brought me home. Well, it was not just a bar. It was also a high profile brothel.
I rubbed my forehead a few times to soothe the pain and looked forward. Before I could see anything properly, someone threw a newspaper on my face.
" What the fuck!!! I shouted at the person annoyingly who just threw the newspaper on my face.
The person snapped at me," Look at the headline and care to explain what's the meaning of all this?"
I looked at the newspaper and saw the headline. It's written in bold letters
" CEO of SR industries, son of Satya Raichand, Mr Shivansh
Raichand was found drunk in a brothel"" This media is becoming a headache for me day by day," I murmured and threw away the newspaper somewhere in the room.
I looked at the person and said making a poker face," Dad, what's the big deal. I have money and I can go wherever I want."
A hard slap landed on my face making it turn in another direction. I just touched the area where my father slapped me and clenched my jaw to control my anger.
" You are ruining my reputation. You have money and that doesn't mean you will sleep around with whores," He snarled at me and I just remained quiet.
Then he warned me with his stern voice," Shiv, I am warning you for the last time. If you don't mend your ways then I will announce Yash as my heir and give the company to him."
" Yeah. You can put that company in his ass and after that, you can see him destroying it," I sarcastically replied and stood up from my bed.
He screamed at me," Every day you are becoming reckless. Don't push my buttons. You will regret your all actions."
" Just leave me alone. Don't ruin my mood early in the morning," I said and started going towards the washroom.
Before I could step a foot ahead, he held my wrist and said taking a deep breath," Shiv, you are my firstborn. I have many expectations from you."
This time I couldn't control my irritations and replied in one go," Your company is the number one company in this whole country. We are earning a good amount of profits every day. Our company has thousands of branches all around the world. And I am the one who made all this possible. So, what more you are expecting from me?"
" Stop being a manwhore," He said glaring at me.
I replied sarcastically giving no importance to his advice," My dick my choice. I can put it wherever I want. It's none of your business."
" Mind your language. Don't forget that I am your father," He retorted and I just rolled my eyes.
I turned my head behind to leave for the washroom when he asked me angrily," You are doing all this just because that woman cheated on you? Isn't it?"
" I do whatever I feel like to do. And never remind me of that woman. She is a closed chapter now," I snapped at him and entered the washroom.
Entering the washroom I turned on the shower and closed my eyes. The cold water droplets started giving me a soothing sensation on my head but my heart was just burning.
" Why the hell are you messing with my emotions, bitch? Why I can't just remove you from my system?" I said angrily remembering that woman's face.
I punched the nearby wall," Why did you you cheat on me, flower? I cherished you like a real flower, I took care of you and loved you like a crazy person and still you betrayed me? Why? Just why did you do all this?"
I felt tears in my eyes which was just washed away by the running water. I don't know why I still feel her. I still love her. I tried to hate her but I couldn't.
My stupid heart still beats for her and yarns for her. It's been 4 years since I have divorced her but still, she kept occupying my head.

" 3 crores," One of the man said yelling.
Another one screamed," 5 crores."
" 7 crores," A bald man yelled excitedly.
A young man said with his deep voice," 10 crores."
The auctioneer's said yelling," 10 crores 1, 10 crores 2, 10 crores 3.........Finally, it's sold."
" This painting is sold in 10 crores to Mr Ayush Khurana," The auctioneer's said and everybody clapped their hands.
Mr Ayush Khurana looked at Ranvijay and said smilingly," I am honoured to have this extraordinary painting of yours."
" My pleasure," Ranvijay replied giving his usual mysterious smile.
Well, Ranvijay and Niyati were sitting in an auction house. A painting of Ranvijay has been put up for auction and people were stumbling to buy it. Finally, the painting was sold to a billionaire.
" So, you are going to give this money to the orphanage? Niyati asked Ranvijay smilingly. She was sitting beside Ranvijay having a sleeping Neela in her arms.
Ranvijay replied taking a deep breath," You already know the answer. Still, you asked me this question!!"
" I am just proud of you. I appreciate your every work," Niyati replied fixing her gaze in Ranvijay's eyes.
Ranvijay replied nodding his head," I am glad that my wife is proud of me."
After that, Ranvijay and Niyati came out of the auction house after attending the party. Both were unwilling to attend the party but still, they had to attend it for the formality.
Niyati and Ranvijay were sitting inside the car. They were completely silent like they were ignoring each other. Both of them were looking outside through the window while Neela was sleeping in her father's chest peacefully.
" You are looking gorgeous in this red-pink colour gown. You are looking like a lotus flower," Ranvijay complimented Niyati without looking at her.
Niyati just skipped her heartbeat hearing the word flower. She felt a sharp sting inside her heart. Her eyes started becoming blurry due to tears but she wiped them away hurriedly before they could escape her eyes.
" Thank you," She replied still looking outside through the window.
This time Ranvijay looked at her with his soft eyes and asked," You still love him. Right?"
" Who?" Niyati asked sternly though she knew whom Ranvijay was talking about.
Ranvijay chuckled," You know very well whom I am talking about. Come on, Niyati. Accept the truth that you still love him."
" No. He is a closed chapter now," Niyati replied tryinwa hard to control her emotions.
Ranvijay asked sarcastically," You don't love him. That means you hate him, right?"
" I have nothing for him inside my heart. You knew very well that my emotions have died down but still, you are asking me all these questions," Niyati replied becoming irritated.
Ranvijay didn't say anything further. He decided to not provoke Niyati. He knows that Niyati is a calm girl but when she becomes angry then it becomes a disaster.
" And what about you? You are still doing redemption for the sin which you have never committed!" Niyati asked Ranvijay sternly.
Ranvijay replied taking a deep breath," I am guilty and I have to do redemption otherwise I will not find any peace."
" She never blamed you. Still, you are guilty," Niyati asked softly looking at Ranvijay's gloomy face.
Ranvijay didn't reply and kept looking outside through the window. Only he knows what crime he has done. Only he knows what kind of monster he was!! Only he knows, how he was still living with the burden of sins.
" Niyati, you can never feel the pain which I am feeling," Ranvijay thought mentally taking a long breath.
On the other hand, Niyati thought," I might say that I don't love him but only I know what I feel for him. But, I will never forgive him for humiliating me and not believing me."
Shivansh's pov[ " Shiv.....Hey.....look at me.....how am I looking?" I heard Niyati calling me. I didn't look at her as I wam very busy doing some work on my laptop. I have an important meeting in few hours." Look at me. Tell me, how am I looking in this saree," She again asked pulling my hands.I shut down the laptop and looked at her with annoyed eyes. Looking at her, I just couldn't control my laughter. I laughed out loud seeing her." Am I looking that bad?" She asked me sadly and looked at her reflection through the mirror.I controlled my laughter," You are looking like a ripe orange. Who had chosen this saree for you?"" Mammi ji(mother in law). So, I am looking bad and you are making fun of me," She replied making a poker face and started opening her jewellery.Oh!! God!! This woman is really something. I was just joking and she took it seriously. She was looking marvellous in this saree." Now, I am looking ugly in your eyes," She whined like a kid and threw away the neckl
The Next DayShivansh's povI am standing in front of the temple of Lord Shiva ( One of the Supreme Gods in Hinduism) and waiting for my mother. It's been hours since she has gone for Puja(worship) and hasn't returned yet.I didn't enter the temple for Puja as I have lost my faith in God 4 years ago. Once I used to be a great devotee of Lord Shiva but now everything is gone.Well, I came to Pune to join as Chairman in 'Singh Enterprise'. My mother came here to worship Lord Shiva. There is a big and famous Shiv temple in Pune and my mother wanted to visit it. That's why I have to bring her with me.I think I should go and check her. I don't know why she is taking so much time.I started climbing the stairs without thinking anything further. It took five minutes for me to climb all the stairs." Ouch!! Blind uncle. Can't you walk seeing properly? All the flowers are now scattered on the floor. How am I going to offer them to God?" I heard a baby voice.I just reached the temple when I b
Niyati's povI reached the office and cursed myself for being late. I was stuck in traffic for almost one hour.Sir told me to reach earlier as the new chairman is joining today. And, here I am. Shit!! I am sure sir is angry as hell." Niyati, Sir is waiting for you in his office room. The new chairman has also come as well," The receptionist informed me while I was passing the reception area.Without wasting any time I almost ran towards Sir's room. Taking a deep breath I knocked at the door." May I come in, Sir?" I asked for permission.I heard Sir's deep voice," Yes, Niyati. Come."" Sir, I am extremely sorry. I was stuck........." I started saying in one go after entering.But I couldn't complete my sentence just looking at the person who was sitting beside Sir. My whole body turned cold just looking at the person.I felt like my body has become paralysed looking at his face because the person is none other than Shivansh Raichand. Is it any kind of dream?Why is he again in my li
The next dayAt OfficeAuthor's p.o.vNiyati entered Shivansh's room holding a file and found him working on his laptop. He was wearing a black suit and looking handsome as usual. She stared at his handsome face for some time and couldn't help but admire him. She admired how he was looking so sincere. " Control yourself, Niyati. Don't fall for him again. Don't forget how he humiliated you and threw you away from his life," Niyati's subconscious reminded her. She cleared her throat to catch Shivansh's attention," Sir, I have brought the records of the new selling products. Kindly have a look."Saying that she forwarded the file towards Shivansh. She gulped down her saliva because of nervousness as Shivansh was looking at her with his scrutinising eyes.She was wearing a simple office casual and looked like a confident woman. He eyed the sindoor(vermillion) in her hair partition and the mangal sutra(nuptial chain) around her neck. He clenched his fist angrily seeing all the symbols of
Shivansh's pov" I love Ranvijay," Those three words again rang inside my head.I threw away the alcohol glass on the floor. The glass shattered into tiny pieces just the way my heart was shattered. I loved her truly giving my all affection to her but still, she chose to betray me. I still remember that day when Ma and Lily showed me Niyati's sex video with that man. I never found out who was that fucker and Niyati always denied that she slept with another person.I didn't want to believe that Niyati could do something like that but when I checked the video, it was real. It wasn't any manipulation nor it was edited. After that day, I lost my trust in women and an immense amount of hate increased inside my heart for Niyati. " Then, why are you jealous?" My subconscious asked me. I replied annoyingly," I don't know. I just can't see her with another man. She is my first love."" You still love her but remember one thing that she has moved on," My subconscious again reminded me and m
The Next DayAuthor's povNiyati was sitting in her cabin checking some files which Shivansh ordered her to check. She was engrossed in her work because she doesn't want Shivansh to taunt her and make the situation worse. She just wants to behave with him casually. Suddenly, she noticed some errors in the files and decided to ask Shivansh about them. She could easily correct them but still, she thought to ask him first. Without thinking anything further she went to Shivansh's office room and knocked there. " May I come in, Sir?" She asked politely but there was no response. She knocked multiple times but still, there was no response. She thought that he might be in his restroom. So, she decided to wait for some time. Minutes passed and there was still no response. Getting bored she decided to enter without knocking further. She twisted the doorknob and entered. Her eyes widened and her mouth hung open seeing the scenery in front of her. She blinked her eyes a few times to under
Niyati's povSitting on my easy chair I tried to relax but failed miserably. My whole mind was occupied by Shiv. His shameless acts kept repeating inside my head making my heart bleed. How can he humiliate me like that? Seeing his behaviour I doubt his love. He never loved me. If he loved me even for once then he wouldn't be doing such shameful acts with another woman in front of me. Tears stung my eyes remembering him but somehow I controlled them. " Just act normal in front of him. You have no connection with him anymore so you shouldn't be bothered by his actions," my subconscious suggested. I sighed. She is right. I shouldn't give so much importance to him. Let him do whatever he wants to do in his life. He is just a closed chapter of mine. Nothing else. " Mommy," I heard Neela calling me. I noticed her standing in front of me with a hairbrush and a rubber bant in her hands. I also noticed her messy hair and sleepy eyes. " Mommy, make two ponytails in my hair. Daddy always b
Niyati's pov" Don't worry, Ranvijay. I will be in the house just in 10 minutes," I informed Ranvijay over the phone who was angry beyond level after hearing that I worked extra hours. Well, I worked extra hours to have some extra money. Neela's birthday is coming and my little angel will turn 4 very soon. I just wanted to through a party for her with my own money. That's why I am working extra hours. He replied almost shouting," Have you gone mad? It's 11:30 p.m. and you haven't reached home yet!! Just wait for me wherever you are. I am coming to pick you up or I will send the driver. It's not safe for you to be outside at this hour. Violence against women is increasing in our country every day. So, think before you say anything."I can sense the concern in his voice for me. Sometimes he becomes overly protective of me and Neela. Orni was lucky that she had a husband like him. I am also Ranvijay's wife but we don't share that kind of relationship. We are like friends and obviously
