Hey Sunshines....
How are you guys doing?
- You are my favourite feeling!
Lori lori lori...
Lori lori lori...
Lori lori lori...
(Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby)
The melodious voice filled the haunting silence of the palace. Shivanya stirred in her sleep. Her long hairs were open and falling on her face, hiding her face from anyone's view.
Chandaniya chup jaana re
Chan bhar ko luk jaana re
Neendiya aankhon mein aaye
Bitiya meri so jaaye
Hmm...
(Hey moonlight, please go and hide
Please hide for sometime
Sleep is coming in the eyes
Let my daughter sleep
Hmm...)
A frown appeared on her forehead when that voice again reached her ears. That feminine voice was..... Sweet, soothing and it started healing a part of her heart.
She sat up from her place and found herself on the couch present in the living room of her palace. She looked around in confusion and found the whole palace empty.
'What am I doing here? And from where is this voice coming from?'
The very much familiar voice and the song rang in her ears as she looked up from where the voice was coming from. She got up from the couch and her bare feet came in contact with the cold floor, covered with the white marble.
Neendiya aankhon mein aaye
Bitiya meri so jaaye
Leke godh mein sulaaun
Gaaun raat bhar sunaaun
Main lori lori
Ho main lori lori
(Sleep is coming in the eyes
Let my daughter sleep
I'll put her to sleep in my lap
I'll sing all night long
I'll Lullaby, lullaby
I'll Lullaby, lullaby)
Her feet moved toward the upper floor of the palace. Her steps were slow as she walked on the stairs. The cold floor was sending chills through her whole body.
Finally she reached the upper floor and looked left and right. The voice was coming from the direction in which her room was. She frowned and moved forward, her dark brown hair swaying on her back as she continued walking.
Her fingers traced the door of her room with hesitancy. She gulped and her fingers trembled as the soft rhythm of music flowed in the air.
Lori lori lori...
Lori lori lori...
Lori lori lori...
(Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby)
With the trembling hand she opened the door slowly. The door opened and revealed a magnificent room with the lilac theme but what made her breath hitched was the serene scenario ahead of her.
In front of her a girl child, probably of eight to ten years old, was sleeping on the lap of her mother and her mother was singing a Lullaby for her.
Her voice felt like home to her. When the face of the child's mother came in front of her, a gasp left her lips in shock.
'Mumma?!'
Anamika was caressing the girl's head while singing.
Gardaniya chun chun baje
Palkan mein sapna saje
Dheeme dheeme haule haule
Pawan basanti doley
Hmm...
(Her necklace is chiming
There are dreams adorned in her eyes
Slowly and steadily
The wind is blowing
Hmm...)
Happiness, sadness, pain, joy, surprise, many emotions bursted inside her in one go. Her lips trembled seeing the girl in her lap. It was her younger self.
Her breathing became uneven, her legs felt like jelly so she has to take the support of the door to stand properly as tears brimmed in her eyes making everything blurry for her but still her mother's face was very clear to her.
Her mother had a pure smile on her face while she adored her child. Seeing her a sad smile formed on Shivanya's lips.
Sensing someone's presence Anamika looked in her direction. Shivanya froze on her spot when Anamika eyes found her. She was surprised cause Anamika wasn't shocked nor confused by seeing her there.
Dheeme dheeme haule haule
Pawan basanti doley
Leke godh mein sulaaun
Gaaun raat bhar sunaaun
Main lori lori
Oh ho main lori lori
(Slowly and steadily
The wind is blowing
I'll put her to sleep in my lap
I'll sing all night long
I'll Lullaby, lullaby
I'll Lullaby, lullaby)
Instead she smiled at her and signalled her to come near her by her hand while she continued singing.
Shivanya pointed toward herself and Anamika nodded. Shivanya's breath hitched as she licked her dry lips. Her legs took a few steps forward on her own. Her heart cried in longing, on the separation from her mother.
She bit her lips in excitement when she found herself closer to her mother.
Meri muniya rani bane
Mehlon ka raja miley
Dekhe khushiyon mele
Dard kabhi na jhele
Oo...
(May my daughter become a queen
May she attain a king with mansions
May she see gatherings of happiness
May she never have to bear any pain
Oo...)
Anamika sang those lines while admiring Shivanya's face but a frown appeared on her face while singing the last line.
Seeing her Shivanya also frowned in confusion.
Anamika looked around in anger while her eyes filled with tears as if she knew everything.
Everything that has happened in this palace with her daughter.
How much pain her daughter has suffered after she was gone?
Anamika's hand never stopped caressing the younger Shivanya's hair and admiring the older Shivanya.
Dehke khushiyon mele
Dard kabhi na jhele
Leke godh mein sulaaun
Gaaun raat bhar sunaaun
Main lori lori
Hmm main lori lori
(May she see gatherings of happiness
May she never have to bear any pain
I'll put her to sleep in my lap
I'll sing all night long
I'll Lullaby, lullaby
I'll Lullaby, lullaby)
She sang those lines with hope.
Her only wish that she wants to come true.
Shivanya smiled while taking a step forward toward her but by all the movements the younger Shivanya woke up.
She sat beside her mother while rubbing her eyes as she looked at her front.
She frowned while looking at the older Shivanya but Anamika didn't stop singing.
With tears filled eyes, she wished all the happiness for her daughter.
An immense pain erupted in Anamika's heart, thinking all the suffering her princess has suffered.
Lori lori lori...
Lori lori lori...
Lori lori lori...
(Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby)
The little Shivanya looked between her mother and the older Shivanya in confusion.
Shivanya raised her hand to touch Anamika's face but frowned when she started disappearing.
Her figure started fading while mumbling those last lines and Shivanya eyes widened looking at her.
The feeling of loosing her again settled in her heart. She tried to stop her but no words came from her mouth.
She tried to reach for her mother but she got late and Anamika's figure finally disappeared, leaving her beautiful essence in the air.
The music stopped and Shivanya's heart again set a wall around itself.
The little Shivanya looked at beside her with shock where her mother was present but now she was not there.
She looked at Shivanya with accusation filled eyes while tears streamed down from it. Shivanya looked at her younger self with wide eyes. She tried to explain herself that it wasn't her fault but no words came from her mouth.
Both lost their mother but the child inside her blamed herself only.
She woke up from her sleep with a halt and looked around and found herself in her office.
She rubbed her forehead while closing her eyes and exhaled a long breath after realising that all of it was a dream.
A dream....
That scared her....
Her heart broke into pieces when her younger self gave her the accusing look. As if she killed her mother;
As if she snatched the life from her mother.
She can fight the whole world but,
How can she fight with her inner self?
How can she calm her inner turmoil?
She took a deep breath and took her phone to check the time.
She opened her phone and her mother face came in front of her in the wallpaper.
Her fingers clutched the phone tightly, unknowingly.
'I want you Mumma! Please come back to me. Please I beg you. I can't take this anymore. I can't handle this pain. I feel like dying without you.'
Her heart bled in the extreme pain of the separation with her mother, screamed with pure agony evoking the fire inside her, the fire of revenge.
While her lips were sealed in silence, Her eyes betrayed no emotions.
She shook her head when a knock came on her door. She allowed the person to come inside and Sahil entered inside the office.
"Slept well?", He asked softly. She nodded while checking the time. 'It's Six-thirty already.', She sighed. "Where are you going?", He asked, seeing her taking her purse.
She paused and looked at him, "To meet my brother's future in-laws." Sahil laughed cause of her dramatic tone and exhausted face.
"Stop laughing.", She muttered while rolling her eyes. "But it's only six thirty!", Sahil said after controlling his laughter. "Ya but my dear brother messaged me to 'Come one hour before di'.", Shivanya mimicked Aditya's tone making Sahil chuckle.
"Okay then enjoy.", Sahil said while biting his lips trying to hide his smile knowing very well that how much she dislikes meeting new people.

She shook her head at him and mumbled under her breath, "Sare namune meri hi life me hai."
(All the species are in my life only.)
She ruffled her soft locks and gathered it in her hand. She rolled it skillfully around her palm and made a bun of it. Few silky locks made a curtain around her face giving her a spectacular look.
She picked up her purse and got out of her office as her assistant gave her a playful salute.
She went inside the lift and when she was about to press the close button, her hand paused in the air after a thought struck in her mind.
'Wait! Won't he also be there?'

1st Unknown POV:-
I exhaled the smoke while crushing the half smoked cigarette. The door of my office opened revealing my son. He came and sat in front of me followed by Ajay who came and stood beside me.
"What did you want to talk about, Dad?", My son asked. "We need to execute our plan. We can't wait anymore.", Ajay said on my behalf. He raised his eyebrows at me and I nodded.
"Okay.... So start.", He trailed off while sighing. Ajay switched off the light and the office got surrounded by the utter darkness. The project lit up in front of us and I took myself closer to the projector while moving my wheelchair.
Pictures of five biggest corporation of India displayed in front of us.
Our enemies. Our aim.
Kapoor's
Malhotra's
Sharma's
Oberoi's
And at last....
Rathore's
My fist clenched while reading their names. The fuel of destruction and revenge burnt in my veins. The slide changed and my eyes turned furious by seeing the images of all my enemies.
'Fucking bastards'
Aahan Oberoi
Darsh Malhotra
Pranav Sharma
Reyansh Singh Rathore
"Boss...", Ajay's voice cut through the silence of the office as he changed the slide in which there was one more person's picture was added.
I frowned while looking at him.
Aryan Singh Rathore
"We can't underestimate him.", He finishes his sentence.
I nodded. "As you all know Reyansh is out of the picture. Aahan and Pranav are still the owners of their respective companies while Darsh has passed his legacy to his only heir ~ Kabir Malhotra and Aryan is the COO of Rathore Empire."
"Aahan Oberoi"
After Reyansh he is the lethal in all of them. The MASTERMIND of every game. The one whose every plan strikes wherever he wants. For his family, he is the sweetest and fun loving man but...
For the world he is a ruthless businessman who doesn't spare his enemies, he will burn down whoever thought to meddle in his business.
"Pranav Sharma"
The PERFECTIONIST in everything he does. His every work is perfect. He is actually just like he is with family. A perfect family man. His mind is the sharpest in all of them. All the memories that he has ever collected in his whole life always stayed in his mind. He never forgets anything. Never. Violence is not his thing, he plays with his words and his very sharp mind.
"Darsh Malhotra"
The PSYCHOPATH. He kills... Without any remorse. He loves seeing his enemies in pain. Also he is the hardest to crack in all four. He never backs off, never loses any challenge and most definitely not let anyone snatch his family's happiness, even if he has to crumble down the whole world for it, he will. Before retirement, he kept the business world on his fingers. Something happened in his legacy and he doesn't know? That never happened.
All four always had all the power. No one could win against them. But even after this much hold over the corporation world and being a billionaires, they never invested in illegal business. Ya, they always kept check in the underworld but never got into it. All their businesses were always clean.
And their wives.... Well they are not any less. They can also do anything for their family's peace.
"Then comes their heir. Shivanya, Shivansh, Navya, Kabir, Siddharth and how can we forget the sole owner of Kapoor's fashion ~ Siya Kapoor.", Ajay continued.
Their children is just like their parents.
If I want my revenge then...
I have to finish all of them.
"We can't even touch these kids.", Ajay said clearing his throat as my son frowned. "Why?", He asked. "Cause of their parents. If we have to execute our plan then don't even think of attacking their children firstly, it will be very risky."
"Then?", He again asked.
"First we have to...", Ajay put a cross over Aahan's picture, then Darsh's, then Pranav's and at last Aryan's.
"Kill them. Then only we can even touch their children.", He finished his sentence.
"If the older generation will be finished then only we can attack on the younger generation. When they will be weak, we will strike.", He nodded at Ajay's words.
"But....", We both frowned at Ajay. "We can attack on one person.", Picture of Shivanya Singh Rathore appeared on the slide, her reflection fell on our faces.
She was smiling in that picture that I want to snatch from her.
"I have heard that the princess of Jodhpur doesn't keep security with her.", A smirk appeared on Ajay's face followed by mine. "Our easiest Target in these six.", I mumbled as my smirk widened.
I saw my son and his jaw was clenched, hard while gazing at her picture, probably because of that day. He told me about what happened at Sameer's house and how Shivanya destroyed the CCTV camera.
"Who will be our hardest Target?", My son asked, his eyes furious. "Navya Sharma", This time I answered instead of Ajay. He gazed at me with confusion.
"She is not like her father. Being Violent is her part time job. She got it from her mother ~ Payal Sharma. Savage as fuck and won't hesitate to rearrange your organs. From childhood she is very fond of crafting and she does the same with her enemies body. She is a total psycho, even more than her boyfriend."
The meeting went approximately for two hours and we discussed the strengths and weaknesses of our Enemies.
And one thing that was common in everyone was ~ the love of them for their families.
Their ultimate weakness.
He stood up from his seat and walked toward the projector. His skin glowed by the light reflecting on him.
He gazed at Shivanya's picture with furious eyes, his veins popped up as he walked out of the office, angrily.
"Boss, about Shivanya...", I interrupted Ajay.
"I want her alive."

Location:- King's Mansion, Italy
Author's POV
"When is she coming?", Amara asked calmly but from inside she was hell excited to finally meet Shivanya.
"Adi, call and ask her.", Xavier spoke as Aditya nodded and took out his phone.
"My mom is so excited to meet her. Even more than me.", Ashley mumbled to Sebestian, while chuckling, who also agreed with her, a smile adorning his face.
"Ashley...", Amara called her name as she looked over her. "Where is Ace?", She asked while looking around, checking if everything is okay or not.
"I don't know.", Ashley shrugged her shoulder while mumbling. "Then call him too and ask when he will come.", Amara ordered. Ashley narrowed her eyes at her mother in disbelief.
"Mom, don't make me a scapegoat. You know Fratello doesn't like when someone disturbs him and do you really think he will be late when Shivi di is coming to our home for the first time?", She raised her brows in a playful manner while a mischievous smile adorned her lips.
Amara shook her head at the teasing tone of her daughter and said that she is right and went to check everything.
°°°°°°°°°°
Shivanya took out her phone from her purse after its ringing sound killed the silence prevailing in her car.
"Hello....", She mumbled. "Where are you? Have you reached?", Aditya spoke from the other end. "Just reached.", She spoke as she pulled the brake of her car and it stopped just after the large iron gate.
"Okay di. Just give the car keys to the guard. He will park it for you.", She hummed and hung up the call. The iron gate in front of her got opened and few guards came toward her car.
She slid down her window and her face came in the view of the guards.
They looked at her and recognised her immediately. Their boss has already told them about her. So they allowed her to go inside the premises of King's.
She nodded at them, giving them a small smile and drove inside. The King's mansion is situated in between a very large area filled with greenery. Surrounded by large walls and high security.
She looked around while driving toward the mansion and found security guards everywhere, with high quality guns, rifles and walkie talkie in their hands.
Not a single corner was there where a gaurd was not present.
Even in the darkness she could feel infinite of gazes on her car.
She gulped while looking in other direction where many guards were roaming around, their eyes always checking for any intruder.
She didn't feel any discomfort by this as she has always lived like this only.
She finally reached in front of the mansion and stopped her car.
She looked at herself in the rear view mirror and prepared herself to meet new people. While doing that her eyes fell on her hair which was secured in the bun. Don't know what got inside her but unknowingly her fingers grazed her hair and loosened the bun a little. Her teeth tortured her lips till it became red as a small smile adorned her lips.
She took her phone and the keys and got out. She locked the car and turned around. She shrieked when suddenly a gaurd's face came in front of her.
"Ma'am keys! I will park it.", He said emotionlessly, ignoring her shriek. She took a deep breath while rubbing her chest. She nodded and gave him her car keys.
He took it and parked her car.
"Ajeeb pagal log hai.", She mumbled looking at his blank face.
(Strange people.)
She shook her head and looked toward the magnificent and vintage looking mansion. Beautiful exterior covered with white glowing paint. It is a very old mansion but its spark is still there.
She knew that it was Leonardo king's Grandfather who made this mansion and after that the King family has always lived in it.
Her heels clicked on the ground as she walked toward the mansion. She stopped just before the opened doors of king's mansion.
Her eyes gazed around and found everyone there. Leonardo King, Amara king, Ashley, her brother, Sebestian and Xavier.
She released a shaky breath, palms sweating, fist clenched, nails digging in the flesh till it spilled blood as she stepped inside. The clearing of her throat gained everyone's attention as they looked toward the entrance.
Amara looked at Shivanya who was biting her lips in nervousness cause of everyone's stare.
Just by a look of her, she felt attached to her. Her lips curled in a smile as she walked toward Shivanya.
"Meet my sister ~ Shivanya.", Aditya introduced while coming and standing beside Shivanya as she passed a smile to everyone.
"Hello Mrs King.", She said when Amara came toward her but instead of greeting her, Amara engulfed her in a warm hug.
Shivanya froze on her spot as the walls around her heart crumbled down at once. The motherly feeling she got from Amara in that hug was enough for her to reciprocate the hug, hesitantly.
A warm sensation settled in both of their hearts. Ashley and Aditya smiled looking at them.
Amara broke the hug after a moment and caressed her left cheek. "You are more beautiful in person.", She said, adorning her just like a mother does to their children.
"Thank you Mrs King.", Shivanya said softly.
She bend down to take her blessings, startling Amara. "What are you doing?", She asked in confusion when she touched her feet.
"Mom it's a kind of tradition in India. People touch their elders feet to take their blessings.", Ashley told her. "So what do I have to do?", Amara asked raising her eyebrows.
Aditya was about to answer but before he could Shivanya took Amara's hand and slowly put it over head. She looked at her and smiled, "Just bless me."
"Always be happy dear.", Amara mumbled as Shivanya's smile widened.
She got up and moved toward Leonardo who was looking at her with a stern look.
"Hello Mr King.", He nodded at her words but didn't say anything. Everyone frowned at his behaviour except Amara who very much knew what he was doing.
She bent to take his blessings and touched his feet. "If you think you can scare me, then you are totally wrong Mr King.", Leonardo's stern face crumbled down and a smile adorned on his lips at her words as he also gave her his blessings.
"Mr and Mrs King? Don't you think this is very formal?", Leonardo asked raising his eyebrows at her. "So should I call uncle, aunty?", She asked. "We are not even that old.", He said being a little offensive making her chuckle.
"Well you are just like Ashley to us. So you can call us-", He paused when he saw Aditya shaking his head from behind Shivanya, telling him to not complete his sentence.
Leonardo looked at Shivanya's face and found the smile was vanished from her lips. He cursed himself mentally after realising that what he was about to do.
Amara cleared her throat to cut the sudden awkward silence that prevailed in the surrounding.
"Sir and ma'am would be fine i guess?", She asked as everyone agreed with her. Amara raised her brows at Shivanya who gave her a small smile and nodded. "Ashley, when is your brother going to come?", Amara asked to Ashley as Ace is still not home.
Shivanya bit her lips at the mention of Ace. 'Where is he? Won't he come?'
Amara and Leonardo were standing behind their children.
"Here he is.", Ashley suddenly announced, happily.
Shivanya's eyes widened and her heart raced at its full speed. Her palms became sweaty as she looked at the entrance where Ace stood still in his place.
°°°°°°°°°°°°
"King...", Ace turned around after parking his car. He frowned looking at the guard and raised his brows at him. "The lady you told us about.", He nodded.
"She left her purse in her car.", The guard gave the purse to Ace, bowed down and left from there.
He looked at the car parked in front of his and then at the purse.
He rubbed his thumb over the purse and walked toward his home with a bouquet of red roses in the other hand.
He entered inside and his eyes fell on the beauty clad in a white mini blazer dress with black lines dotting over it.
Her hair styled in bun with few strands falling over her face increasing her beauty. Her eyes lashes coated with mascara and lips covered in strawberry lip gloss.
Her beautiful bare leg that would look fucking lovely wrapped around his waist. Her small waist that will fit perfectly in his arms.
His lips parted in shock by the beauty of his Tesoro.
'I am dead today. No one can look this much hot! I said no one. She is a devine beauty. I-i- what is she? How can someone look so hot? She looks... Sexy. She doesn't know what she is, doesn't know how much power she has on me. Even I don't know that how I will control myself.', A shaky breath left his lips.
His eyes never left her as he continued staring at her like someone put him under a spell.
Leonardo and Amara looked at each other in shock as it was their first time seeing their son like that but for others it was like their daily routine cause they were looking at him with boredom.
"This is Ace right? Our son?", Amara asked in shock. Leonardo hummed in shock.
Ashley cleared her throat to gain Ace's attention as Shivanya looked away from him.
Ace got out of his dreamland and composed himself but still her affect on him could be shown.
He walked forward, each step toward her made both of their heart skip a beat.
She looked at the rose bouquet in his hand and then looked at him with a frown. He nodded at her, silently answering her question that it's for her.
She bit her lips when he pushed the bouquet in her hand and passed by her, their eyes met, blood rushed to their cheeks due to the intense eye contact and a smile adorned their lips.
"Welcome..."
His whisper reached her ears and her breath hitched as he went and stood beside his parents.
No one noticed the teasing smile on their lips.
No one noticed the sparks igniting in the air when their orbs met.
No one noticed the red hue spread on their cheeks.
No one noticed them biting their lips while glancing toward each other.
No one noticed that what happened between them just by a mere eye contact.
And at last it became a little secret of their hearts.
She looked at the bouquet with a warm look. By her eyes, he knew she liked it and that made him breath in relief.
Everyone was silent and was just looking at the scene unfolding in front of them.
Ashley went toward her brother silently and mumbled in his ear, "Fratello, what was that? You just gave her the bouquet? No complications? Nothing!" Her words made him frown.
'Did i have to say something too?'
He looked at Shivanya in pure confusion who was admiring the roses.
"What do you mean?", He whispered. "I mean you just gave her a bouquet Without any compliments. What if she thinks of you as a rude person?", This time, intentionally, she spoke loudly so everyone can hear but Ace's eyes widened by her words.
Shivanya looked at her in shock as Leonardo and Amara tried to stifle their laughter looking at their son's face.
"Go and compliment her. Go.", She pushed him toward Shivanya which earned her a glare from Ace. She nervously smiled and stood beside her father for protection.
Shivanya looked at Ace and warned him with her eyes to not do as she said. She shook her head while glaring at him making him confused.
He wanted to laugh looking at her face but still didn't and starting walking toward her.
"Mr King"
Ace paused at his place and looked toward the entrance, from where the voice came, in confusion.
Three men clad in business suits stood there with a professional smile on their faces, two of them was around Leonardo age while the last was in his early twenties.
Everyone recognised them except Shivanya who looked at them in confusion.
They walked inside and one of them came toward Leonardo and stood beside him. His face had that scary look which made Shivanya raise her brows at him.
He frowned looking at her as Shivanya wiggled her eyebrows playfully.
He let out a disappointed sigh and Shivanya glared at him, hard.
"William, this is Shivanya, Aditya's sister. And Shivanya this is William, my assistant.", William gave her a curt nod as Leonardo introduced them while Shivanya gave him a fake smile.
Leonardo looked at her with amusement but hid it instantly when he realised that now it's not just them.
"And Shivanya they are my business partner - Zachary and his son Ethan.", Leonardo introduced them and Shivanya smiled in their direction.
"Dad forgot that he has invited them too. Hope you have no problem dii!", Ashley whispered in Shivanya's ear.
"It's okay.", She whispered back with a smile.
Ace's eyes which were till now on Shivanya was now killing the poor Ethan with them cause Ethan's eyes has never left Shivanya from when he has entered in the mansion.
He fisted his hand and gazed at Shivanya.
He looked away to control his anger and not punch the shit out of Ethan.
"Why is he coming here?", Sebestian mumbled. The younger clan were standing together and they looked toward Ethan at once after Sebestian's remark.
Ethan came and stood in front of Shivanya making her frown.
He grinned at her as she smiled nervously. He let out his hand for her to shake but instead of shaking his hand she joined her hands and smiled at him.
"Ye chutiya mujhe aise kyu dekh Raha hai.", She whispered to Aditya who chuckled. "Itni jaldi pehchan liya.", She nodded. "Shakal se hi chutiya lagta hai.", She shrugged her shoulder while giving him a smile as Ethan took back his hand awkwardly and joined his hand.
Anyone could see the lust in his eyes for Shivanya.
(Why is this asshole looking at me like that?)
(You recognized him so quickly.)
(He seems like an asshole by his face only.)
Ethan was smiling, unknown to the glare Ace is shooting in his way.
Leonardo, Amara William, and Zachary got into a conversation after they settled on the couch when they saw their kids engaging with each other.
"Hello beautiful..", Ethan said with a cheeky smile while checking her out openly.
And this time not only one but four glares settled on him, killing his soul in infinite ways in their mind.
"It would be better if you don't flirt with my sister.", Aditya spoke, the carefree attitude that he always wore got slipped, replaced by a furious one.
"Oh c'mon I was just-", Ethan got interrupted by Ace. "Didn't you hear what he said?", This time Ethan back off cause he knows what Ace does to that person who doesn't listen to him.
Ace rolled his eyes when Ethan got scared like a child and went to sat beside his father.
'Motherfucking bastard!'
If looks could kill, he would have been six feet underground, by now.
After that they got engrossed in talking with each other while Ace took the bouquet from Shivanya and put her purse and the flowers on the couch.
Their fingers brushed with each other and a shiver went through their spine.
"Di what are you doing?", Aditya asked looking at Shivanya who was scrolling through her phone.
She looked at him with a smile and replied sarcastically, "Planning your murder." Ashley chuckled listening to her while others snickered.
Aditya looked at Ashley in disbelief and she made a face.
"Shit!", Shivanya cursed while looking at her phone. "What happened?", Ace asked immediately. "I have made a document related to the meeting that will happen tomorrow and it got deleted!", She groaned, her eyes still on her phone.
"Don't you have any copy of it?", Ace asked. She exhaled a breath and looked at him in annoyance, "If I had the copy then do you really think I would be this much worried?"
"Make sense.", He mumbled.
"Make sense.", She mimicked him.
"Just say that you don't have any common sense.", She let out a scoff while their friends laughed hearing her.
Ace rolled his eyes but didn't say anything. Ashley who has witnessed this for the first time got shocked. 'Don't tell me my brother is this whipped for shivi di?', She did a happy dance mentally.
"Ashley...", She turned to her mother who called her. "Show Shivanya around until dinner is not ready.", She suggested and Ashley nodded.
"Let's go di", Ashley took her hand and went to show around the King mansion, her home, where she has grown up.
Ace, Sebestian and Aditya didn't go with them but Xavier went.
°°°°°°°°°°
"So this was my room.", Ashley mumbled after closing her room door.
She and Xavier showed Shivanya some parts of the mansion like library, swimming pool, Amara's garden.
Then they went to the second floor where only one person lives ~ Ace.
"On this floor only Ace lives and the other rooms are for guest which are clearly empty.", Xavier pointed toward their surrounding as Shivanya nodded.
"On this floor we are not allowed in three rooms.", Ashley mumbled, seriously while showing her three fingers.
Shivanya looked at her in confusion and asked, "Which rooms?"
"Firstly, of course my brother's room. He doesn't like when someone enters his room without his permission and mostly only one maid cleans his room.
And the other two in which we can never get his permission to go are his two studios."
Shivanya frowned and mumbled, "Studio?"
Xavier hummed and said, "Ace likes to paint, it's his hobby. Whenever he is stressed or something is bothering him, he paints. But no one has ever seen his paintings. He kept it hidden in those two studios. In the dark."
He muttered the last words under her breath so no one heard it.
"Ya, and even maids are not allowed inside.", Ashley mumbled with a pout.
"Then who cleans it?", Shivanya asked. "Ace"
Shivanya looked at the closed door of the studio, and smiled. 'So Mr King likes to paint. Intersting!'
"So we rarely come here.", Ashley shrugged her shoulder and they went downstairs.
°°°°°°°°°°°
"Let's go. Dinner is ready.", Amara's voice gained everyone's attention as everyone looked at her and nodded.
Everyone went toward the dining table and Ashley was with Shivanya, both were engrossed in talking.
Ace excused himself as his phone was ringing.
Everyone kept two seats empty so Shivanya and Ace could seat together as per ordered by Ace.
Shivanya sat beside Aditya and her right side was empty. But Someone sat beside her making everyone shock. She looked at her side and found Ethan sitting beside her.
Leonardo and Amara looked at each other in shock and worry.
Shivanya ignored him and waited for Ace to come. After a moment Ace came but paused on his way when he saw Shivanya sitting beside Ethan.
Jealousy swirled in his veins and He wanted to strangle Ethan to death but didn't say anything cause of Shivanya.
Ace went toward Sebestian who was sitting across Shivanya and glared at him. Sebestian understood and got up from there.
Ace sat across Shivanya while glaring at the empty plate ahead of him. He was angry, would be an understatement. He was enraged, jealous, furious, and his inner beast wanted to take out the life from Ethan's body.
Jealousy is a very dangerous emotion and now It was triggering the monster inside him.
Shivanya frowned looking at him but didn't ask anything. Ace sensed someone's stare on him, and looked in front of him to find Shivanya looking at him with worry in her eyes.
He shook his head telling her not to worry.
Only then did the food get served which distracted everyone. Amara waited for Shivanya to eat and when she started eating, a smile formed on her face.
Shivanya was eating and was in her own world. She grabbed the glass of water but then her eyes fell on Ace who hasn't even touched his food.
"Ace what happened? Eat!", Amara asked in concern. "I don't want to, mom.", He mumbled. She was about to argue but Leonardo signed her to not say a thing.
Shivanya frowned at his behaviour. 'Before his mood was okay. Now what happened?'
She raised her brows at him when their eyes met and He shook his head. She pointed toward his plate with her eyes, telling him to eat but he again shook his head denying her request.
And then her eyes glared at him which made him gulp. She clenched her jaw and again pointed toward his plate with her eyes. He noticed the change in her demeanor and thought that it's better to eat.
He nodded and started eating. She sighed and focused on her food. 'Pata nhi log pyar se kyu nhi Maan jate hai. Har wakt gussa dilana jaruri hota h inko.'
(I don't understand why people don't agree easily. Every time they have to make me angry.)
Leonardo smiled in amusement while looking at Shivanya, he liked the way she handled his stubborn son.
Shivanya scrunched her nose in annoyance when a phone's vibrating sound reached her ears.
She looked around but everyone was engrossed in their food. Then only Ethan took out his phone and picked up the call.
She sighed but a thought struck in her mind like a thousand bolt current.
'Wait a fucking minute! Call! Ace King didn't even message me once in these two months. Nor even picked up my call when I did for the first time. How fucking dare he?', She thought and looked, sorry, glared at Ace.
Ace sensed her murderous glare toward him and looked at her. He got confused after seeing her. She looked like she wanted to kill someone.
He looked at his right and left for confirmation that she is glaring at him only and when she nodded toward him, he got fully confirmed.
'What happened to her suddenly?'
She got up from her place, gaining everyone's attention. "I need to use washroom.", She mumbled looking at Amara with a soft look but when she turned toward Ace it turned into a angry one.
He got more confused. 'Now what did I do?' "Ace, show her the way.", Amara ordered and looked at her plate, shaking her head at both of them.
Before he could even get up from his place, she was gone. He looked at her back in disbelief and ran behind her.
Aditya, Sebestian and Xavier looked at each other and scoffed at their friend but was also proud on their sister for making this beast run behind herself like a whipped guy.
Shivanya was walking angrily with a scowl on her face. "What does he think of himsel- Aaaaa...", She yelped in shock when someone out of no where pushed her toward the wall and caged her.
She looked at the culprit angrily. "What happened?", Ace asked calmly. She huffed and looked away. He smiled looking at her face but sighed after a moment when she still didn't say anything.
He cradled her cheeks in his rough palms, turned her face toward himself and mumbled softly, "What happened to La mia vita? Why is she this much angry?"
(My life)
She almost melted just right there cause of his soft voice and his eyes but like I said almost, so she didn't, and instead glared at him, hard.
"You.", She spoke just one words.
Ace nodded in understanding while biting his lips trying to hide his smile.
"What did I do?", He asked, raising his one eyebrow.
She swat his hands away from her cheeks and mumbled furiously ,"You seriously has the audacity to ask this?"
He got shocked by seeing her this much angry.
"Tell me na what did I do?", He pleaded while showing her his puppy eyes.
"You didn't message me.", She said, her tone accusing.
"Huh?!", He muttered in confusion.
"Two months.", He closed his eyes when Shivanya out of nowhere shoved her two fingers in front of his face.
"For two months, you didn't message me. When I called you for the first time, you didn't pick up the call. That's okay. Maybe you were busy. But you didn't even give me a call back. You are so bad.", He let her say all the things she wanted and understood why she is angry.
"You are just angry cause of it?", He asked. She narrowed her eyes at him. "Ya for you this is just a small matter. So it's useless to talk too.", She tried to go away but he grabbed her shoulder and made her stand still.
"Okay okay. I understood. Now tell me what should I do so your anger will vanish in thin air?", He asked and she folded her hands.
She looked away and he again mumbled, "Tell me Tesoro."
She looked at him from her peripheral vision and mumbled, "Say sorry."
"Sorry", He didn't hesitate for a second and said it. "Again"
"Sorry"
"Again"
"Sorry"
"Again"
"Sorry"
"Say it until I tell you to stop.", She ordered and he nodded.
He started apologising and he must have said it for forty times and it got a little awkward for her so she kept her hand on his lips to silence him.
"Okay, okay.", She mumbled gazing in his eyes.
She gulped cause of his intense stare. "Stop staring.", She whispered. His lips curled into a smirk under her palm.
He pecked her palm and she immediately removed it away from his face in shock and took a step back but he took advantage of her shock and closed the whatever distances they had in between.
Their chest brushed with each other and her nipples hardened under her bra as she looked at him wide eyed.
"What if I won't?", He whispered, leaning toward her neck. Goosebumps formed in her whole body when his lips came in contact with her neck and it got noticed by the pair of stormy grey orbs.
"I love the affect I have on you Miss Rathore.", He whispered and pulled her hair from the already loosened bun.
Her hair fell on her back as she blinked her eyes digesting his words.
She also doesn't know what got inside her as she whispered boldly, "Oh really?"
He looked taken aback by her question. He stumbled back when she pushed him a little and gulped nervously after she pushed him toward the wall, just beside he had caged her.
He got nervous when she stepped forward while biting her lips, seducing him and caging him.
If someone saw him like this, he would be shocked for the lifetime cause no one ever had made Ace nervous.
His skin shuddered when her fingertips traced his torso, goosebumps aroused and every body strand stood by the impact as Shivanya raised her fingers in upward direction.
She kept her other hand on his shoulder and rubbed her thumb over his cheek.
"It seems I also have an affect over you Mr King.", She mumbled with a smirk on her lips when she noticed his breathing became heavy.
She left him with a scoff and turned around as she flipped her hair which hit Ace's face.
"Bye Mr King.", She waved her hand while walking back to where everyone was present.
He exhaled a breath he didn't know he was holding and looked at her back.
He put his one hand on his waist and ruffled his hair with the other one as a chuckle left his mouth remembering what happened a moment ago.
"My seductress."
°°°°°°°°°°
"Took you too long!", Ashley remarked with a mischievous smile when she saw Shivanya coming back.
Shivanya passed a nervous smile to everyone present there and sat back in her place.
After a few minutes Ace also came and Shivanya avoided any eye contact with him and he shook his head at her behaviour.
"Kheer?", Shivanya mumbled in shock after seeing the kheer served in the desert. "Ya, mom made it for you.", Ashley replied with a smile.
Shivanya looked at Amara and mumbled a thanks. "No need dear.", Amara mumbled and Shivanya smiled.
Shivanya was about to ask Sebestian to pass her a bowl of kheer but before she could Ethan passed her one.
She gave him a small smile and took it from him. Ace who saw everything was now glaring at the bowl.
Shivanya looked at the kheer and was about to take one bite but she saw Ace glaring at her bowl like a child. At first she was confused but She also wanted to laugh looking at his face but controlled herself.
She looked at Ethan and then at her bowl and understood why Ace is glaring at the poor bowl.
She shook her head with a sigh but when she saw her brother was also eating kheer so instantly took his bowl and gave hers to him.
Aditya looked at her in shock whose spoon was in his mouth only when she took his bowl.
"What?", He mumbled taking out the spoon. "Eat that one.", She said and he narrowed his eyes at her. But when she glared at him, he instantly focused on his food.
Ace, who saw everything as his focus was on the bowl only, looked at Shivanya with a frown. 'Why?', He asked through his eyes and she only shrugged her shoulder in response.
Shivanya looked at everyone and they were enjoying the food so she showed her tongue to him making him smile but he instantly hid it.
She scoffed at him but soon a smile also took over her lips.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Di please....", Ashley pleaded showing her puppy eyes to Shivanya, who looked away from her.
"Ashley, try to understand. I can't stay at night.", Shivanya tried to make her understand. "Why can't you?", Ashley asked. "I have to make the files again baby.", She pulled her cheeks but still Ashley didn't accept defeat.
"Then do it here!", Ashley mumbled with a pout, pleading to Shivanya with her eyes.
She signed her mother to help her. "Shivi please. It's just about one night. Please.", Amara caressed her cheeks like a mother. Shivanya smiled sadly.
"Please di please.", Ashley said and even Aditya also started pleading.
Leonardo and Ace were looking at them with amusement.
While William went to his home, Zachary and Ethan were still present there.
"Okay fine.", Shivanya mumbled with a defeated sigh as Ace smirked.
"But I don't have anything to wear.", She immediately said with a smile playing her last card.
"Don't worry di. I took some of your clothes from your closet. So you do have something to wear.", Ashley smiled and gave her the bags of her clothes.
"Huh!", Shivanya looked at the bag in disbelief. Amara tried to stifle her laughter looking at her face. "Aww my baby.", Amara chuckled giving her a side hug.
"Mrs King, can I also stay here for tonight?", Ethan asked suddenly and the younger clan's mood got spoiled after hearing his voice.
"Huh?!", She muttered in confusion. "I have something to discuss with Mr King. So if you won't mind can I also stay here. Just for tonight.", Zachary looked at his son in confusion but Ethan ignored him.
"Ya ya i won't mind.", She mumbled thinking it would be rude to say no to him.
After that Amara turned toward Ace and ordered him, "Ace, show Shivanya her room."
Ace nodded at her and looked at Shivanya. He passed by her and asked her to come with her.
°°°°°°°°°°°°
"That's your room Ms Rathore.", He opened the door for her like a gentleman and smiled toward her. Her room was just beside his which was also decided by him. He wants her to be always close with him.
She stepped inside and nodded in appreciation while looking around. She put her purse and the bag of clothes on the bed.
'It's beautiful.'
Ace was staring at her while leaning on the wall or you can say admiring her every movement.
Ace looked toward the small coffee table present there and waited for her to notice it.
He smiled when finally her eyes fell on that table.
She tucked her hair behind her ear and frowned.
He walked behind her and stopped just an inch away from her. "Do you like it?", His lips grazed her ear and she closed her eyes at their proximity.
His both hands reached her waist and pulled her toward himself. Her back collided with his clothed chest and she exhaled a breath.
Her eyes were still closed, she couldn't explain what she was feeling at that moment. Neither she felt uncomfortable nor did she try to resist his touch.
He traced his nose on her neck and she tilted her head unknowingly giving him more space. He breathes on her neck and her lavender scent invades his senses.
Not able to control himself, he turned her around. She stumbled a little cause of sudden movement but he again captured her waist and pulled her toward himself. Her hands clutched his shoulder in shock and she opened her eyes.
Her dark brown eyes collided with his stormy grey ones.
She bit her lips in nervousness and his eyes fell on her lips which was getting tortured by her teeth. "Don't do that!", His eyebrows scrunched as his focus totally went on her lips making her frown.
He gulped when her lips got released by her teeth. "Why?", His hold on her tightened but she didn't mind it cause she knows he won't ever harm her.
Don't know where this trust came from! But it's true. She felt safe with her. After all he is the first man she has ever allowed to come this close to her who is not her family.
"You want to know that?", His voice came out hoarse while getting dangerously close to her. She instantly shook her head looking at him with wide eyes. He chuckled looking at the scared yet innocent look on her face.
She also smiled after hearing his chuckle. He joined their forehead and sighed. "You look ethereal.", He finally gave her the compliment his sister told him about.
"Just this?", She mumbled with a pout like a child and he smiled hearing her complaint.
"You look fabulous Tesoro. Words are not enough for your beauty. Even if people worship you it's not enough. You don't know how much it's getting hard for me to control. Fuck! You look so fuckable.", He breathed those words while burying his head in her neck.
His voice felt like he was in very much pain.
Her eyes got wide hearing his words. She felt something in her lower abdomen. Butterflies formed in her stomach.
She gulped and tapped on his shoulder.
He groaned and took his head out of her neck. His hair got messy which made his face look so cute.
"Are we friends Mr King?", She asked tilting her neck like an innocent kid.
He chuckled and leaned toward her face.
He stopped when their lips were just an inch away from each other.
"Definitely not friends.", He mumbled, nudging their noses.
"Enjoy and sleep well.", He mumbled pointing toward the cheesecake and chocolates kept on the table with a bouquet of white roses.
He didn't want to let her go but for now he has to, so he dropped his hands from her waist and took a step back.
He turned around to go but stopped on his heel when she again raised a question.
"Then what are we?"
He turned around and gazed in her eyes.
"More than friends Ms Rathore."
A shiver ran down her spine.
After that he went and closed the door on his way. She took a deep breath and calmed the tornado of emotions going inside her.
She looked at the table and moved toward it.
She sat on the couch in front of her and took out the cheesecake from its box on the plate kept there.
She licked her lips and took a bite and She almost moaned at the amazing taste.
She smiled looking at the chocolates and his face came in her mind.
That night she enjoyed her cheese cake all by herself and a few chocolate bars while working on the documents which got deleted.
Next Morning;
Shivanya looked at the white suit which Ashley has picked for her from her clothes. White sleeveless kurti carried with sky blue organza dupatta (stall). The dupatta has white border in zig zag order.
She took it and went inside the washroom to take shower.
After a long shower, she came outside with a towel wrapped around her body.
She touched her clothes fabric and smiled. Feeling of being home captured her heart and why would it not happen? After all it's mother who has made this for her.
Towel fell on the ground as her legs roamed around the room while she hummed a song.
Clothes slipped over her body, lips got coated in lip gloss, while eyes got filled with kohl. She made a bindi by the help of Kajal.
She caressed her hair and untangled it slowly.
She made a bun out of her hair and let some strands fell over her face.
She smiled looking at herself in the mirror. She turned around to check herself in mirror and found she has still not tied the strings of her back.
She sighed and after a lot of difficulties she tied it. A tired groan left her mouth as she let her hand fall over her side.
She took her dupatta and kept it on her right shoulder, letting it fall over her arm and got out of her room.
She was walking while scrolling through her phone. She reached the first floor when suddenly her phone rang. She picked up the call as it was from Sahil.
She folded her hands and stood there to listen what Sahil has to say. She was discussing something with him when a man came behind her.
He walked closer to her when he saw her busy on phone.
He stopped when He was just one step away from her and his gaze fell on her bare back.
He gulped looking at the tattoo tattoed over her back at the left side but a frown appeared on his forehead when he saw the scar on which the tattoo was made.
She was so engrossed in talking that she didn't notice someone hovering over her back.
She hung up the call when suddenly she felt someone touching her bare back over her scar, goosebumps formed in her whole body as the touch made her super uncomfortable. She shrieked in shock and turned around.
"Ethan? You?", She mumbled in shock as she stumbled back.
She gulped finding him this close to her and was breathing heavily cause of his touch.
"What happened to your back?", He stepped forward ignoring her reaction.
"None of your business.", She immediately took a few steps back and mumbled furiously while covering her back with her dupatta not liking his eyes on her body. He earned a glare from her as she went downstairs.
°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Where the fuck is your sister man?", Navya groaned in annoyance. "Might be sleeping.", Aditya shrugged his shoulders. "Ha Teri behen kumbhakaran hai na?", She replied sarcastically.
(Ya your sister is kumbhakaran right?)
All were on a video call with Navya, Siya, Kabir and Siddhartha and they were waiting for Shivanya to inform her about something very important.
"Di what has happened that you have called at this time?", Ashley asked confused. "Drama.", She replied with a smirk earning a slap on her head by Siya. She whined like a child making everyone chuckle except Xavier and Ace.
Ace was just waiting for Shivanya to come and was getting bored by sitting there but what can he do except wait. Right?!
"Why didn't you call her then?", Leonardo asked. "Mr King this is a very important thing and I think Aditya has every right to know this.", Navya answered politely making everyone confused. "And I also wanted to talk to you guys."
Only then Shivanya descended by the stairs and Ace's attention went immediately towards her who was already glancing toward the stairs for so many times.
His heart stopped beating for a second seeing her in traditional. White colour made her skin more glowy while the blue stall wrapped around her, increased her shine.
He licked his dry lips and gulped finding it hard to not stare at her. But his jaw clenched when he saw ethan following her.
He only saw red at that moment but her Beauty distracted him when he felt her stare at him. His gaze met hers who was looking at him with nervousness. He frowned when he saw her a little disturbed.
He looked at her fist which was clenching the stall very tightly till her knuckles went white.
He just wanted to go and hug her, close to his heart where she resides.
But he knew she wouldn't like it or worse kill him for doing it in front of everyone.
It's not like he can't die for her.
But alas! The king wants to spend more time with his queen.
Ashley, who saw Ace looking at Shivanya or you can say admiring her, smiled mischievously.
<<<< Ashley was confused about which night wear of Shivanya to pack. There were so many.
She was looking at her closet with keen eyes.
Sebestian looked at her, who was literally glaring at Shivanya's clothes, with a scared look.
'What has gotten into her?'
"Ashley just take one of them.", He mumbled which earned him a glare from her. "What? You are standing here for twenty minutes and still couldn't decide. It's just a night wear Ashley. Just choose anything."
Finally her full attention went to Sebestian but that also scared cause of her murderous glare toward him.
"It should be comfy for her. She is going to stay in our home for the first time so she should always be comfortable. What if she won't be comfortable in some of them? Then what will she wear? What if even my clothes won't fit her? Or mom's?", She moved forth and back while rambling all the questions.
"How can someone overthink this much?", Sebestian muttered under his breath while leaning on the wall.
(Author:- I had already told you Ashley is an overthinker 🫣)
"Ashley let me help you!", He said as she nodded.
She stepped aside and let him choose. He frowned looking at her clothes.
He rumbled through her clothes and found a hoodie. He touched its fabric and it was soft and comfy. He smiled and passed it to Ashley.
And next he took out a cotton shorts and gave it to Ashley.
"Done.", He gave Ashley a mocking while raising his eyebrows at her.
"Ya ya fine.", She muttered and rolled her eyes.
"Well now we just have to choose what she will wear the next day.", Sebestian graoned in annoyance and Ashley let out a nervous laugh.
She looked around but her eyes got stuck at one traditional Indian dress which was simple but still so beautiful.
Her eyes shone in joy and she instantly knew which one she has to choose.
"Shivi di looks so beautiful in traditional. Please god save my brother from her beauty.", She smiled mischievously while taking out the dress.
"Let's go!", Ashley exclaimed and started packing the clothes in a bag while Sebestian got out of Shivanya's room.
On her way out of the room her knee collided with the dressing table present there and a small bottle fell on floor.
She frowned while rubbing her knee.
"Ashley let's go.", She heard Sebestian's voice and her attention went toward it.
"Coming.", She shouted and went outside the room leaving the bottle on the floor.>>>>
"Ethan your dad called me. He wants you in your office, now.", Ace said controlling his anger toward him while pressurising the word 'now'.
Ethan frowned at him and tried to argue but his phone rang at the same time. Ace smirked when he answered the call. "Coming dad.", He mumbled after a moment.
"Byee.", Sebestian and Xavier smiled sarcastically at him while waving their hands.
Shivanya looked at Ethan's back and released a breath. She walked toward them with a small smile but it turned into a full blown smile when her eyes fell on the laptop.
All uncomfortableness vanished from inside her and her heart found home.
Ace saw the change in her emotions and at that moment he finally understood the place of her friends in her life.
"Hello...", She mumbled with a smile and sat beside Aditya by pushing him a little. Everyone chuckled looking at her. "Hi my Indian Beauty.", Again the Ace King got jealous by Siddhartha Oberoi who never leave any chance to flirt with Shivanya.
"How are you guys?", She asked and they talked a little. "Wait!", Shivanya said suddenly. Everyone looked at her. "You guys are very comfortable with sir and ma'am. Have you guys talked before too?", She asked pointing between them.
They all nodded with a smile. "Ya many times.", Navya answered as she made a face. "It means I am the only one who haven't talked to them.", They all nodded at her.
"Wait!", This time Aditya said. "Now di has also come. So tell us what happened?", Aditya asked. "Nothing much has happened.", Kabir said, nervously.
"Something has happened?", Shivanya asked seriously while gazing at her friends. "No no. It's not even that much of a worry.", Siddhartha tried to lighten her mood.
"So tell na.", Shivanya spoke. With all the denial even King family understood that something serious has happened.
"Tell Navya.", Kabir encouraged his girlfriend. Navya looked at him in shock. "W-why me?", She stuttered. "Siya will tell you.", Navya took Siya's name and patted her shoulder as Siya looked at her wide eyed.
Navya pleaded with her eyes as Siya turned toward Shivanya.
"Siddhartha will tell you.", Siya said and Siddhartha who was scrolling through his phone snapped his head toward her in total betrayal.
"Oh hello! It was you guys idea to tell about it to her.", He pointed toward Siya and navya who looked away.
"We told you that we can handle but no, how can we hide the truth from Shivanya, so you both will tell her what has happened, not us.", Kabir pointed toward Siya and navya making both of them gulp in fear.
"SOMEONE WILL PLEASE TELL THAT WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED.", Everyone present their flinched when Shivanya shouted, angrily.
Aditya laughed but it looked like he was crying. "You are laughing or crying?", Sebestian whispered. "I don't know myself.", He mumbled clinging to him, scooting away from his sister.
Only then Yash came in the frame and greeted everyone while Amara and Leonardo tried to calm the situation.
Shivanya took a deep breath and mumbled, "First tell me where are you guys?" "At your house.", Navya mumbled.
"Now tell me what happened!", She said calmly.
"Shivi-", Navya whispered.
Shivanya nodded and Navya smiles nervously. "Where is your drama miss?", Kabir mumbled sarcastically as navya glared at him.
"Wo-", Yash interrupted Navya.
"You guys leave it. Can't even say a line.", He scoffed. Navya, Siya, Siddhartha and Kabir hid their faces behind their hands as Yash dropped the truth bomb.
"Shivi di, Priya Singhaniya came yesterday with a marriage proposal for you of her son - Dhruv Singhaniya."
