Chapter 52

Part 52

A week later,

Sharanya was still scared after everything. She wasn't able to forget about it. It was a little traumatic for her, and she got more scared of Neil after seeing him torture them. But they deserved it still. She was so young for all the happenings, and these things were way too much for her. She was dragged into their dirty game, which made her feel used, broken, and torn.

But she was relieved that he had left her and that he hadn't called her in ten days, even though she was afraid that he would kidnap her again and imprison her, but he didn't.

She was now staying in Avin's penthouse with Yashvi,Ishaan, Arisha, and her mother, who were also there. They were living together.

She wanted to become like her mother The strong.. Brinda didn't give a fuck about what had happened, and she also tried to make Sharanya understand and told her to move on. But was it really that easy to move on?

"Sharanya, where are you lost?"

"Come on, complete your breakfast, otherwise you will be late for college." Brinda's voice brought her back to reality.

'Complete the breakfast kitten, otherwise the consequences won't be in your favour' His words rang in her ear, which made her shiver inwardly.

She somehow completed her breakfast when Yashvi said, "Sharanya, let's go." She nodded and got up, picking up her bag and phone.

"Bye Maa." They bade them bye and left for college.

He puffed the cigarette, gazing his Anya's large portrait hangs on the wall. His eyes held love, passion, and madness for her. He smirked as he crushed the cigarette, dumping it on the astray, seeing her lips move to her jaw, then to her cheeks.

Neil's POV.

Wifey It's been 10 days since you were away from me, and I wasn't liking it. I want you to be with me all the time, just right beside me. I know you were enjoying your freedom way too much, but let me tell you, you had to come back to me, but this time I wouldn't cage you.

I grabbed my phone, which was there on the table, and dialled a number. Hearing the answer from another side, I smirked. It's time to meet your wifey!

Yashvi and Sharanya reached their college and went to their class. Sharanya was trying hard to concentrate on the class but was not able to. Taking a deep breath, she started writing down the notes. Just then, the bell rang.

One of the girls informed her, which perplexed her. She nodded and made her way to the principal's office.

As soon as she knocked on the door, "Come in," she heard the principal's voice. She stepped in and found the principal was sitting in his place while there was another man who was sitting opposite to the principal and his back was facing her. Her breath hitched as the familiar cologne hit her nostrils and her body erupted with goosebumps.

She knew he was here just sitting a few feet away from her, though she couldn't see his face. "Sir, you called?" Taking a deep breath, she asked the principal without stuttering.

"Sharanya Yes, as you know, the annual fest is coming soon, so here is our sponsor, Neil Ahuja. " He got up and turned towards her as her palms fisted her long shirt.When their gazes met, she shivered inwardly.

His eyes scanned her from head to toe. She was wearing black jeggings and a red-coloured shirt dress, her hair left open as the few hair strands were teasing her face. Her eyelashes kissed her cheeks as she looked down. She was a beauty His natural beauty

"So Sharanya, you will be the volunteer for your class, and yes, you have to share your ideas with him." The principal further said

"Mr. Batra, please allow me to speak," he said, gazing at his wife, after 10 days. "I heard from your principal that you are very talented and have some great ideas to make this festival more interesting, so Sha--Miss Iyer, you have to share your ideas with me, then I will decide further," he finished his sentence, staring at her intensely.

"Sure sir," she said, nodding her head.

"Take him with you, show him the campus, and tell him about your ideas," the principal said, and she took a deep breath. She knew she had to do this for the college. "OK sir," she walked out, with Neil following her behind.

She continued to express her ideas to him without stuttering and showed him the entire college.

Well, the problem was that his concentration was not on her words but on her face, her cheeks, her jaw, and her pink lips. His eyes gazed at her lips as they moved when she said everything to him. Fuck it, he held her hand and dragged her into one empty classroom.

"Sir, what are you doing?" She stuttered as he started taking slow steps towards her after locking the door. And she took steps backward.

Her eyes widened as he called her by that name and her back hit the wall. She couldn't escape now. He placed his hands on the wall, trapping her in between.

"Mrs. Ahuja, I believe in give and take business, so you have to give me something if you want me to invest in this fest," he said, leaning dangerously close to her face, making her heartbeat quicken.

Taking a deep breath, she asked, "What do you want, sir?" He smirked at her and slipped his left hand around her waist while his right hand cupped her cheeks, feeling her warm skin and moving down to her shirt buttons.

"What are you doing, Ne..il?" She stuttered out. "Sssh just sssh," says danger to her."No," she said quietly, her eye tightly shut because she was terrified of being caught in such a compromising position.

He undid the first button and then the second one, and just then she held his hand. His grin widened as he noticed the Nupital chain still wrapped around her neck, which had GPS."This is still here." His husky whisper reached her ears as he traced the skin around the nupital chain.

Heckk, she was breathless now..

He buttoned her shirt and placed a warm kiss on her forehead, making her feel something weird. "Tell your principal that I am ready to invest" and he left, leaving her breathless.

As the sisters were done with their class, they walked out of the college, waiting for their car to arrive.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Neil, who was preoccupied with the media, surprised Yashvi.

"He is the sponsor of our college fest," Sharanya answered to her elder sister. "What really?" Sharanya nodded and Yashvi let out a frustrated sigh.

"Sir, is it really true that Pawan Singhania and Dipesh Ahuja plotted and killed your dad, Harsh Ahuja?" They were asking him questions.

"Sharanya, we have to leave this place or they will attack us," Yashvi said into her ear, and she nodded, but it was too late; the reporters had turned towards them.

The sudden question aimed at Yashvi scared her.

"Let them go," Neil said, trying to come in between. "Sir, we are asking those questions only."

"What do you want to ask, huh? Yes, Pawan Singhania and my so-called uncle did that plotting and killed my dad, Harsh Ahuja, and it's proven they accepted it. " Neil shouted.

"Yashvi mam, we want to know about your point of view in it," one reporter inquired, and for the first time, Yashvi was terrified.

"Can't you see she is getting scared by all this, huh?" Sharanya shouted, amusing Neil. "Is this how you interrogate anyone, and one question, who the hell are you to interrogate us, a cop or a CBI?" she yelled.

"Mam, why are you coming in between "We got the news that you are Pawan Singhania's illegitimate child," another reporter said, shocking Sharanya.

Neil was about to shout at them, but Sharanya chose to take a stand for herself. "Illegitimate child" wow? Where did you get this information, huh? Well, as you all are so eager to know about our personal lives, let me tell you that Pawan Singhania is unfortunately my father. I was 2 when my mom and that man parted their ways. "This is totally not your concern, so stay out of it," she shouted and turned towards Yashvi..

"Are you all right, Dii?"She asked him and he nodded.

"Sir, did you really cheat on Anusha Kapoor and have an extra marital affair with a girl?" This made Neil chuckle and stare at Sharanya for a second, then avert his eyes.

"Cheating huh? Well, I think she had already announced that we had parted our ways in mutual decision and not any cheating. About me being in a relationship with anyone. That's my personal life and yes, I am not in a relationship. I am married to someone secretly and I don't want to show her to this world because she is precious and exclusive to me alone. His words made Sharanya feel something weird, but the reporters thought that he was kidding, but he was actually telling the truth.

"Now you all can leave. It's a college for study and not to interrogate someone." He said rudely, and they left.

"Yashvi Sharanya come, I'll drop you both because your car is still not there." Neil said, and the sisters looked at each other. "This place isn't safe for you. Any reporters or media might attack you both again."

Yashvi agreed, so Sharanya had to say yes. They sat in the backseat while Neil was in the passenger seat beside the driver. She could feel his intense stare on her still. She tried to ignore him and looked out of the window.

"Yashvi I never saw you this scared. Well, the situation like this can arise at anytime, so you have to prepare yourself to snap them back and Sharanya, I am proud of you.. you did a great job, "Neil said and she fiddled with her fingers whenever he called her name. She shivered with a wild beating heart..

"Thank you so much for helping us, Mr. Ahuja," Yashvi said, making him chuckle. "You can call me bhai (bro) again. I am not that bad. I never tried to harm you, but the situation made me like this. I was blind with revenge," Neil said softly to her shocked Sharanya.

Why the hell was her yashvi dii talking to that monster freely?

"So aren't you participating in the fest?" he further asked Yashvi.. "I haven't planned anything yet, but juniors are volunteering this year," Yashvi said.

"Yes, I know, and Sharanya is in charge; she has great ideas, which she also shared with me," Neil said, turning to face them."Am I right, Anya?"

"Yes" was the short and simple answer from his secret wife, though she was feeling the whole zoo in her stomach when he called her "Anya."

Finally, after 30 minutes of travel, they arrived.Yashvi stepped out, and when Sharanya placed her foot on the ground, her leg twisted and she fell down on the floor, wincing in pain.

"Shit you okay, baby?" Yashvi asked in concern. "I am fine, Dii," she answered, and got up with great difficulty.

"Need help?"

"You aren't able to walk?" he asked, referring to stepping out of the car.

"I'll manage. I just have to cross this gate, then the elevator will be there." She said not so softly and held Yashi's hand, "Let's go, Dii." Still, she wasn't able to walk..

"Bhai, please help her. She is not able to walk." She surely wasn't expecting this from Yushvi. "Dii, I'll manage," she said.

"No, you can't," Neil said, and the next thing she knew, she was in his arms.

"I said I can manage." She glared at him, but he didn't care and started walking.. Sighing, she wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to breathe, but his proximity wasn't letting her.

"Put me down." As soon as they stepped inside the elevator, he did as she said, because Yashvi was also there.

When it hit the 35th floor, he picked her up again and started walking towards the door. "Neil, I can manage now," she said, gritting her teeth.

He royally ignored her words and rang the doorbell. "What happened to her?" That was the first question Brinda asked in concern after opening the door.

"Maa today driver didn't come on time and the media attacked us with questions, so Neil bhai offered us a ride and then Sharanya fell down," and Yashvi explained everything and went to her room.

"Can I get a glass of water?" Neil requested Brinda, and she nodded and went to the kitchen. Neil stepped closer to her and cupped her jaw. His thumb gently rubbed her cheeks. "Take care of yourself, Mrs. Ahuja, and yes, I am very proud of you." He leaned closer to her and kissed her forehead, letting his lips linger a little more, and then moved back, though Brinda already saw them.

He took the glass of water from her and gulped it down. "Thank you so much, Brinda maa. My maa misses you very much. If you get a chance, then please do come to meet her. "And he left.
