John looked away from Lisa and Samanvay when Samanvay took her to bed. He turned around and walked away from there silently. His eyes were wet with unshed tears but he didn't allow them to swell out of his eyes. No, instead he forced his tears back and swallowed his emotions just like every time he sees his wife and Samanvay together. Manya once again glanced towards the room and found her husband still in Lisa's arms but this time they were in bed together. Swallowing the angry rush, she blew out a suffocating breath, and walked down the stairs. If John had not stopped her from leaving, she would never have come here.She was going out as she had to meet someone for the job but when she walked up to the door, John stopped her saying that his boss had not informed him about any plan of her going out. So she couldn't go anywhere until Samanvay allowed her. Anger. It ran through her body like a burning lava. She didn't need Samanvay’s permission to go anywhere. Manya was enraged he

13Manya stared at herself in the mirror of her bathroom. One more day was lost. Manya was still empty-handed. Wherever she went for an interview, her father's influence reached before her. She was drained out but kept telling herself to focus on her aim and not the struggle she was doing to achieve it. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before leaving it. "Calm down, Manya. Anger is not the solution for anything," She reminded herself and focused her mind on her breathing to calm herself. But her focus broke when the door of the bathroom ripped open and a whistle sounded from behind."Are you in the mood for a shower fucking, My sweet?"Manya opened her eyes hearing her husband's irritating voice. She turned around angrily and gave him a hard glare."How many times do I need to tell you not to use this kind of language in front of me!" She snapped at him without raising her tone.Samanvay's lip stretched from corners into a mocking grin while his eyes gleamed in mirth. " Are

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

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

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
