The next day

At Office

Author's pov

Niyati entered Shivansh's room holding a file and found him working on his laptop. He was wearing a black suit and looking handsome as usual. She stared at his handsome face for some time and couldn't help but praising him. She admired how he is always sincere in his work.

" Control yourself, Niyati. Don't fall for him again. Don't forget how he humiliated you and threw away you from his life," Niyati's subconscious reminded her and she agreed with her subconscious. She scolded herself for looking at him with admiration.

She cleared her throat to catch Shivansh's attention and said," Sir, I have brought the records of the new selling products. Kindly have a look."

Saying that she forwarded the file towards Shivansh. She gulped down her saliva because of nervousness as Shivansh was looking at her with his scrutinising eyes.

She was wearing a simple office casual and looking like a confident woman. He eyed the vermilion in her hair partition and the nuptial chain around her neck. He clenched his fist angrily seeing all the symbols of a married woman on her. She purposely wore all this to make him understand that she has moved on.

" Sir, kindly check the file," Niyati again said and placed the file in front of Shivansh on his table.

Shivansh just glared at the file and stood up from his chair. A faint of rage can be visible in his eyes.

" How did you seduce him?" Shivansh asked her suddenly and started coming towards Niyati's direction. She started going backwards seeing his unusual behaviour.

She frowned her brows and asked confusingly," What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

" I am talking about Ranvijay Mehra. Your so-called husband. Did you seduce him just the way you seduced me?" Shivansh asked her sarcastically.

Niyati felt like he has just slapped her with his words. She couldn't tolerate his bullshit talking and warned angrily," Mind your language."

" Is he good in bed?" Shivansh asked shamelessly coming more close to Niyati. She felt very insulted hearing him.

Niyati's back touched the wall and he just caged her between the wall and his arms. She is now feeling uncomfortable because of his close proximity. His strong masculine cologne is reaching at her nostrils making her more nervous.

" Don't cross your limits. You might be my boss. That doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. You can't say anything about my personal life," Niyati replied and tried to leave him.

Shivansh just pressed himself more on Niyati and mocked," Come on. Don't act of shyness because you simply don't have it. Tell me, is he better than me in bed?"

Niyati just raised her hand to slap him when he held her hand and twisted it angrily. She just hissed in pain and made a disgusted face hearing him. She never thought that he will ask her something like that.

" Leave my hand, you rascal," Niyati screamed on his face and Shivansh just let out sarcastic laughter.

Then he clutched her jaw tightly and asked angrily," Do you love him? Tell me, you slut. Do you love him?"

Pain, jealousy and rage can be audible in Shivansh's deep voice. He just can't accept the fact that Niyati is with someone else. He was forgetting that it was him who divorced her and ended their relationship.

Niyati couldn't tolerate his insult anymore. She understood that it's high time she should act strong. She just can't let him say whatever he wants. Once she acted like a weak girl and that cost her many things. Now, she has to stand up for herself.

" Yes, I love him. Do you have any problem with that?" Niyati replied confidently and looked at Shivansh's eyes directly.

Hearing her, Shivansh just punched the nearby wall angrily and clenched his jaw. His knuckles started bleeding but he didn't react a little bit. The pain he is feeling right now just hearing her is 1000 times stronger than that punch. His hold on her jaw tightened and he felt too much hurt.

Niyati jerked off his hand and said very calmly with confidence," Yes, I love Ranvijay. I love him more than anything else in the world."

" Shut up," Shivansh yelled and his eyes started darkening due to rage.

Niyati isn't afraid at all hearing him. She knew how to answer his insults. The little bit of feelings she used to have for him has vanished just hearing his questions.

She let out a chuckle and said looking at his eyes," And yes. He is better than you in every aspect. He loves me, respects me and believes me whatever I say. He never doubted me just looking at some rubbish photos and videos. He is not a puppet of his family members."

" Once a slut always a slut," Shivansh sarcastically said looking at Niyati body shamelessly.

She chuckled hearing him and replied," You will remain a coward always. Let me tell you one thing that, no matter how much you try to break me, you can't do that because I have my husband and daughter's love with me. You are just a black chapter in my life which I have removed already."

Saying all this she pushed away Shivansh from her and left his office room angrily. Shivansh just couldn't tolerate her words. Her every word started repeating inside his head and he felt like destroying everything.

He kicked the nearby chair to vent his anger but it didn't work. He groaned in frustration and pulled his hairs angrily. He rubbed his whole face making it red.

" You can't love him. I was your first love. Then how the hell you can love him!!" Shivansh screamed and sat on his chair. He just can't accept Niyati's confession. His whole system is now burning with jealousy and rage.

Niyati's pov

I returned to my house with my tired body and ruined mood. It was a hectic day for me. The whole day was hell for me as I was working with that arrogant man.

Shivansh has started giving me too much work. I know he is doing all this purposely. He is venting his anger and frustration on me by doing all these.  If he continues giving me inhuman amounts of work then I will be sick very soon. I can't handle so much work at a time.  I have to protest him about this matter.

But, I don't know why he reacted recklessly after knowing that I am married to Ranvijay. We have nothing between us anymore than why he cares I love someone else or not. Why he didn't move on yet!

I just came out from the washroom after freshening up and found that Neela is sitting on the bed with a gloomy face. She is looking down at her lap and fidgeting her fingers. I became worried seeing my daughter's sad face.

" What happened, baby? Why are you looking sad?" I asked affectionately sitting beside her.

She looked at me with her sad eyes and asked," Mommy, Was I adopted?"

I became shocked hearing her. I stiffed in my place looking at her sad eyes and hearing her painful voice. Why the hell she is thinking like that?

" No, you aren't adopted. I am your mommy and you are my cuty doll," I told her and pulled her into my lap.

Then I asked her confusingly," Why are you asking like that suddenly? Did anyone say anything to you?"

" Pihu was saying that I was adopted because I don't look like my daddy. She also said that I look alike very little with you. She said that she looks very similar to her daddy but I don't," She replied sadly and started crying very badly.

I just lost it and hugged her tightly. I consoled her for some time and rubbed her back to calm down her. My heart clenched in pain hearing her hiccuping sound.

Pihu is my neighbour's daughter and also Neela's playmate. This girl always likes to irritate her and today she has crossed it. I have to talk with her mother.

I made her look into my eyes and said," Never listens to anyone's saying. You are Ranvijay Mehra's daughter and this fact will never change. You aren't adopted."

She hugged me tightly and said," Mommy, I love daddy so much. He is the best daddy in this whole world."

" Hmm. And mommy also loves you too," I said and laid her down on the bed.

I started stroking her baby hairs and very soon she drifted into a deep sleep. I covered her body with a blanket and kissed her forehead. She looks like a cute angel when she sleeps.

I came out of the house and started walking in the garden. I was not feeling well so I thought to walk for some time. I am walking but my whole mind is occupied by Shivansh. The anger and jealousy I have seen in his eyes will surely burn me. I don't know how I will be able to handle this complicated situation.

"Are you stressed?" I heard Ranvijay's voice from behind and I gasped hearing the sudden voice.

He was in his art gallery. I don't know when he returned. He should be in his room then what's he doing here?

" No, I was just enjoying the cool breeze," I replied smiling.

He came forward and asked suspiciously," I think something is bothering you. You can share with me."

Should I share everything about Shivansh? If I tell him about Shivansh then he will definitely suggest me to quit my job. And I can't be a burden on Ranvijay anymore. I shouldn't share about Shivansh with Ranvijay.

" I am good. Nothing is bothering me. Umm..you are looking tired. You should go and have a shower," I told him and smiled a little bit.

He nodded his head and said with hesitation," Actually, I wanted to tell you something. But, I am not finding enough courage to say it."

" What is it? Tell me," I asked curiously.

He opened his mouth to say something but couldn't utter any words as I screamed loudly.

" Uh!! Something went into my right eye," I said blinking my eyes repeatedly as it's hurting.

He held me tightly and said worriedly," Let me check."

Saying that he took out my eyelash and blew some air in my eye to soothe the irritation.

" It's just your eyelash," He said giving the eyelash in my hand.

I thanked him first and then asked curiously," You were saying something. What's the matter?"

He starred at my face for some time like he is studying me. He is looking directly into my eyes without blinking.

" Umm. Another time," He said and left the garden without saying anything further.

I became confused and going to call him by his name when I heard some footsteps at the border of the garden. I felt like someone is watching me. I felt like someone is keeping his eyes on my every move.

I went towards the border from where the road is visible. I searched the whole area and found nothing. I clearly heard someone's footstep. Maybe I heard wrong. I didn't think anything further and decided to return to the house with a confused mood.
