When Shanaya reached the Sangeet venue — which was again the same place where three months ago, the engagement ceremony was held — she avoided going anywhere close to Dhruv at all costs. She would find herself drawn to wherever he stood, her eyes often staring at him as he laughed during a conversation but she reminded herself of how important it was to stay away. A few days ago, he had introduced her to Anjali and she had realized how different the actress was from what she had expected her to be. Anjali was down to earth and kind, knowing when to say exactly what. She reminded Shanaya of Noor, but while Kabir’s wife was more on the shy side, Anjali exuded confidence with every breath she took. Shanaya spent her time walking around, greeting people she knew, and making sure she didn’t bump into either Raghav or Anvita Kapoor. Anjali engaged her in a new conversation — focusing on Kirti’s new design release that was going to happen in some weeks. Shanaya could only listen half-hear
The Billionaire's Second Chance Chapter 91
Shanaya felt trapped, as if her body had become immobile and her voice had deserted her. Dhruv's attempt to approach her with reassurance only elicited a groan of despair from her. She was caught in a whirlwind of emotions, unable to find a way to express herself. "Please, give my parents a chance to explain themselves. You deserve to hear our side of the story," Dhruv pleaded, his voice filled with gentleness. "I wish I had the courage to tell you earlier, but I couldn't... because I knew how much you loved and respected your father." Shanaya struggled to find the right words, her voice trailing off as she weakly raised a finger towards Dhruv, only to let it drop as tears welled up in her eyes. "I can't," she finally managed to utter. Without hesitation, Dhruv closed the distance between them, gently placing a hand on her cheek. Shanaya instinctively leaned into his touch, though at the back of her mind, the fear of being discovered by someone, especially his mother who was watchin

*Wedding day* The last two days had weighed heavily on Shanaya’s mind. She had struggled through them—wanting to be alone most of the time, however, instead, she was forced to face her family members as well as the Kapoor. The Haldi ceremony, which was celebrated jointly at the Arora mansion, had been a success. There were flickering moments where she would forget all the thoughts that were plaguing her mind, but then she would spot Suhala’s face or Anvita and their conversation would replay in her mind, drowning her in misery once again. She had even found herself ignoring Dhruv, ever since he had mentioned that she deserved the truth even if it hurt her. The burden of the truth hidden by her was becoming heavier every second. She knew she would have to tell Dhruv about her miscarriage soon, or she was sure to go insane. The previous day, Shanaya had successfully managed to avoid a conversation with him, however, when she had gone to the bathroom, wanting to wash the Haldi that

Shanaya tried following Suhala to explain herself, although she had no idea what she would say in her defense. Her grandma had spotted her with Dhruv in close proximity. Shanaya was sure Suhala’s brain—that only knew hatred for his family—had quickly assumed that something was going on between the two. Which was true, but that was not how she had expected the old woman to find out. She chased her, walking as far as she could in the heavy outfit she wore, however, it was not long before Suhala blended in with the crowd. With a sigh of defeat, Shanaya placed a hand over her heart. Panic still coursed through her as her mind thought of ways she would try and fix this. Several people greeted her—some even tried to get her to pose for photos as the shehnai played in the background. She wondered how the photos had turned out considering just how absent-minded she was. Finally, it was time for Kirti’s entry. Shanaya was glad when all the people turned their attention to the bride, leaving

“I trusted you, sister. And you betrayed me. You betrayed our family!” he spat, taking a menacing step towards her. “I never thought you’d do this. How could you run into his arms once again, despite knowing everything they did to us? They ruined us, Shan.” “Ahail, I need you to calm down,” said Dhruv, still standing in front of her. Shanaya tried to say something but her voice abandoned her as she stood frozen, watching her brother fume. “Don’t you dare speak to me, Dhruv. I’m talking to my sister,” Ahail warned him, gritting his teeth. Shanaya had no clue how Dhruv managed to keep himself calm in such a situation, especially after what she had just told him. “If you really want to talk to her then I suggest you do it nicely.” That only seemed to aggravate him further. “Who are you to tell me how I’m supposed to talk to her?” Dhruv shook his head, his jaw clenching. “Don’t expect me to hear you disrespect her and still remain quiet. She has done everything for her family. She’s
The Billionaire's Second Chance PART 2: Chapter 1
*One year and six months later* [SHANAYA] Shanaya swept her gaze over the several options granted to her before picking up one. Turning on her heels to face Noor, she asked, “Do you really think she’ll like this?” Noor stopped in her tracks, her eyes darting from the teddy bear she was holding in her hands and coming to rest on Shanaya’s face. “By she do you mean Kirti or Ahana?” she enquired. Shanaya shrugged, placing the doll box back on the shelf. “Isn’t Ahana too young to decide whether she likes her birthday gift or not?” she asked, faking seriousness. Noor smiled, continuing to walk along the shelves in the Kids’ section of the store. “No, I don’t believe that. If Shaurya doesn’t like something, he’ll smash it against the wall with his tiny little hands.” Now it was Shanaya’s turn to pause. “Is that what happened to the car I gifted him last week?” “Oops,” Noor said, confirming her suspicion. Shanaya chuckled despite feeling a pang in her chest. “But you said your dog
The Billionaire's Second Chance Chapter 2
Inside the dimly lit nightclub, Shanaya's eyes scanned the crowd as the pulsating music filled the air. She had come alone even though the thought of inviting Kabir and Noor along had crossed her mind. But they were parents now, with a child that needed most of their attention. They didn’t like the idea of having a nanny, at least not until Shaurya was a little older and she agreed with their decision. Shanaya was hoping to temporarily escape the weight of her own thoughts, the blasting music almost loud enough to hurt her eardrums. As she made her way through the crowd, she spotted a familiar face amidst the sea of strangers. Her artist friend, with his colorful attire and expressive demeanor, was waiting for her at a corner booth just like she had expected. They had crossed paths a few times at this very nightclub and twice at local art exhibitions, but they never shared names. To her he was the ‘Artist’, and he always referred to her as the ‘Businesswoman’. Yet, something about h

A look of discord flickered in his eyes. “If you still love him, why do you need to find love again?” 'Does he still love me?' she thought to himself, anguish washing over her. Involuntarily, Shanaya lifted up her phone in her hand and opened the browser window she had abandoned—not willingly—hours ago. She had been reading an article featuring Dhruv and Anjali. They had not only appeared together at high-class events but now had even shot an interview together. Upon first discovering the article, Shanaya felt a sense of betrayal. She knew then that the feeling was baseless. He had said he would wait for her. She trusted him. But now… she wasn't confident anymore. “You always know the truth,” she claimed, shifting in her seat as the air pricked with tension. “He might have moved on. He might move on someday. But me? I don’t want to find love again. Not with anyone else. But being with him is not possible.” “You won’t tell me why. Tell me the real truth. I don’t believe it’s just
