"Tell your wife to be ready for the party tonight, Sam," Lisa said as she cut a small piece her omelette with the sharp knife and took a bite of it. She brought Samanvay for a lunch date today as it had been many days they spend quality time together. "What party?" Samanvay asked Lisa, who smiled at him. "Mr Riki's anniversary party. He invited us and I think it's time you introduced Her as your wife to the world in a nicer manner rather than the way you did before," Lisa said with a sarcastic laugh.Samanvay chuckled. "It was iconic, wasn't it."Lisa rolled her eyes and chose not to comment on it. "The party starts at six. I want her ready before that," she said before pushing the plate away from her, suddenly losing her appetite.Samanvay looked at her and dropped his cutlery on the plate with a clinking sound. "Why are you not eating? You need energy, Lisa.""I have energy. You leave all this and come with me, I want to do some shopping for the party. I want to look beautiful toni
Chapter 15"So what we heard was true. You really got married to Miss Sehgal, Mr Goenka." Mr Riki asked Samanvay with a broad smile on his face as he checked Manya from head to toe."You look beautiful, Mrs Goneka."Samanvay chuckled and nodded. He opened his mouth to speak but his wife beat him to it. Manya sharpened her gaze. She didn't like the way her host's eyes rolled over her body. Had they been alone, she would have taught him a lesson for waving his vulgur eyes on her body but they were among hundreds of guests. And Manya didn't want to create a scene. But she was going to talk about this party in detail with her husband. "You don't have to tell me, I know how I look, Mr Riki," she answered curtly and then glanced at her husband. "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." She said and walked away from there to get away from there. Or she would have shown that man his rightful place.Mr Riki's eyes turned harsh at her answer. "Your wife's tongue is too sharp, Mr Goenka."Samanva
16"Are you alright, Manya?" Neel asked as he softly held her forearm to balance her. Manya snatched her hand from his hold and swallowed her emotions which evoked in her heart seeing him and being closer to him once again. But she curbed her love for him and focused on the pain and humiliation she suffered because of him. "Yes. I am alright, excuse me," she politely answered as if she was talking to a stranger. "Thank you for your help," she said and took a step forward to leave from there but her steps ceased when he spoke again. "Congratulations on your wedding. I never expected that you would marry this soon, Manya." Manya closed her eyes and let out a deep but small breath before opening her eyes again and meeting his gaze. "Thank you for your warm wishes but do we know each other, Mr?" She asked Neel her name even though she knew it perfectly well.Neel chuckled at her question as pain crossed over his soul hearing her words. He knew his Manya was prideful but he never expe
Samanvay threw his wife into their room and closed the door behind him with his foot. He brought her home immediately after the Oberoi couple's face-off. Had he stayed there, he was sure Neel and Sara Oberoi would have been dead by now. But he controlled the devil inside him. He didn't want to disclose his monstrous image in front of the whole world, not that people didn't know about it already. But no one knows the truth. No one was hundred per cent sure about his other identity as the mafia boss. It was nothing but a rumour and Samanvay knew that rumours are more dangerous than the truth itself. He liked it when people felt uncomfortable around him not knowing whether they should cross him or not. Those who didn't dare to cross him, survived because he allowed them to but those who dared to cross Samanvay Goenka. They suffered the brutality of Samanvay Goenka's Hell!"Samanvay…" Manya started but gasped loudly when her husband startled her by grabbing her right arm and pushing her
"Where is Sam?" Lisa asked Manya as she came to her room without knocking. Manya just got out of the Bathroom after a shower at that time. She didn't like the way Lisa interrupted her privacy. She has tolerated everything until now because she didn't care what happened in the house. But this was a direct attack on her privacy and Manya was not going to stand it. It's intolerable to her."Sam?" Lisa called him ignoring Manya when she didn't answer her. "Get out," Manya ordered Lisa who turned her head towards Manya. Her eyebrows raised as she looked at Manya, "What did you say?" She asked in a surprised tone. Lisa Mccain was amazed when the woman standing in front of her dared to order her to get out of Her Sam's room. Manya studied Lisa for a moment before nodding at the door. "I said, get out of my room. And don't ever step foot in it unless you learn to respect the concept of privacy of others. Get out.""Ow!" Lisa chuckled at Manya's daringness. "You," she said, pointing her
19"Is this…is this you?" Manya frowned hearing a small stuttering female voice from the other end of the phone. "Who is it?" Manya asked with a frown as she closed the book she was reading and straightened her posture on the sofa."Are you the lawyer?" The woman asked Manya , whose eyebrows raised as she understood who the girl was. "Yes. I am. And you are the woman I met in Mr Riki's party, aren't you?"The woman was silent for a few seconds before letting out a sob. "Yes, I am.""Your phone call means you have decided to stand for yourself, Miss. Correct me if I am wrong?" Manya inquired. The girl sniffed. " Yes. Yes, I have. I want to get out of this marriage but will you be able to withstand my husband's power? He is not an easy man to deal with." Her voice turned even smaller than before. Manya chuckled at that. "What's your name?" She asked standing up from the sofa and walking to the window as she watched the calm sea but she knew it was nothing but an illusion. The big w
"As per your order, I booked a table in the said restaurant. Is there anything else you want, Sweetheart?" Samanvay asked his wife as he came out of the walk-in closet all dressed up in his usual black suit and blue tie for their lunch date. Manya pinched her brows together, she couldn't get her mind off what John had said to her. She had been thinking about it since yesterday. John's words about Samanvay and Lisa's closeness were disturbing her. "I am asking you something, My sweet," he said, coming behind her and clasping her thin waist in his arms.Manya frowned at his touch and turned around. "Get your hands off my waist," she ordered him. Samanvay raised his eyebrows at the sudden change in her attitude once again. Yesterday she wanted him to book a table for them and today she was acting cold out of sudden."Is there some kind of switch malfunctioning with you, My Sweet?" He asked, raising his chin at her. "Excuse me?" Manya asked as her eyes curled at the corners. Samanvay
"What is Mrs Riki doing here, My Sweet?" Samanvay asked his wife when he returned home with Mr Riki who was forcing himself to act normal and calm but the harshness of his eyes was betraying his act.Manya gave a small smile to her husband before turning her attention to Mr Riki. But his attention were fixed on his wife who was trembling under his hard gaze. "You should have asked me before leaving Arya. You know how worried I get with your safety," His eyes hardened even more in anger while his words were laced with honey when he spoke. Arya looked at him with anxious eyes, her heart was already beating faster than normal in apprehension. She knew he was angry and if he found out what she was planning to do, he was going to destroy her father. Arya's determination to get away from him depleted as she thought about her old father and what Riki could do to him. She looked at Manya for help but Manya gave her an empty look. She was not going to fight Arya's battles for her. Manya wa
