Annika went down to get the delivery
They were the gifts sent to her by
her relatives, friends, colleagues
and well wishers
Today was her first day on shooting
After winning Paris fashion week
Thats why her all Well wishers sent gifts to her
She carried all the boxes into her bedroom with the help of maids
Annika was opening a gift box When Shivaay came back after getting
Shower
He saw the gift boxes and
flowers on the table, he understood
these all were sent by her well wishers
to congratulate her as She received
two Important Awards and signed a
Big movie
Gifts, Sent by your well wishers ?
Asked Shivaay While smiling
Yes, they all could not come to meet me That's Why they sent gifts to
me in the form of their love and wishes
Annika replied, unwrapping
the gifts
One by One Annika unwrapped all the boxes, They were all formal gifts
Not very much expensive, She liked all of them
But When Annika opened the last box
She got Stunned because It
was not a normal gift but an expensive diamond necklace set with
earrings
Shivaay Who was drying his hairs
with the towel noticed Annika's shocked expressions through the mirror, He asked
What happened ?
Annika did not say anything but showed him the box, She could not understand ..Who can send her such an expensive gift
When Shivaay saw It he thought of something and checked the card on the top of the gift wrapping paper
On the card was written
" Heartiest Congratulations to you
Dear Anu on your well deserved
success ..I hope you will accept this not so good gift " - AK
When Shivaay read this his eyes
turned cold , Annika noticed his cold expressions and looked the card curiously
When She saw familiar handwriting on the card, she also got angry as well as shocked
She could not understand
What the hell is wrong with Arjun
How could he send her such expensive gifts ?
If two years ago he would have sent her this gift that time She could understand that he sent it because She was his Fiancee
But now When she has nothing to do with him then What is the meaning of sending this expensive gift to her
Fiancee is far away, He is not
even her friend now
She thought
He has gone nuts That's Why he is doing these weird things
She wondered why She met with the people like Sara, Roshini, Arjun, Mittali Raichand and Arnav Raichand in her life Why they Can't let her live peacefully
Annika felt a throbbing headache coming soon...She closed the box angrily and Said
What the heck !
What's wrong with Arjun ?
Just how do you think his brain works ?
Is he Insane ? Can't he understand that I don't want to keep contact with him ?
First he called me, And When I
did not talk with him or received his calls then now he is sending expensive gifts to me ?
I Just can't understand that
What did wrong I do in the past to meet a person like him !
Annika was complaining , Shivaay who was standing beside her suddenly kissed her
It was sudden kiss that bore a slight sense of possessiveness as he nibbled On her lips lightly
Annika who was kissed suddenly
Couldn't understand anything and looked at him innocently
Did She say something wrong ?
She wondered
He held her in his arms tightly
and did not allow her to escape, He only let her go after a while before he looked at her in the eye
You are not allowed to talk about that person so Intimately !
Hearing this Annika was completely
Speechless..
Darling I must say that Your thought process is quite Impressive
Whispered Annika
When did She talk about Arjun
Intimately ? Was not She cursing him ? Then why did he say that she is not allowed to talk about Arjun ? Can't she even curse him ?
How did you get to that conclusion
Darling ? Asked
Annika
Hearing this Shivaay frowned
What ? What did I say Wrong ..That Arjun has no rights to call you by your nick name Anu and How dare he send you a gift..
You are Mine Ok ! ..Only Mine
Only I have the Rights to give you Nick names and gifts ! And you are only allowed to talk with me
said Shivaay possessively
Annika couldn't understand Why Shivaay is saying this ..Obviously She knows that He has All the Rights on her
Whatever, Her Shivaay was Always
right anyway...If he is saying something Which she could not understand, still he is Always Right in her eyes
When Annika sensed that he is not happy She quickly made him Sit on the Sofa beside her and comforted him
Yes..Yes Shiv you are right
I Will never talk about Arjun
And I'll also get someone to send this necklace back tomorrow
You said right Only You have the rights to call me by my nick name and give me gifts
We love each other deeply, We are legally Husband and Wife... So only We have the full rights on each
other
When Shivaay heard this, his expressions softened..He pulled her in his lap , touched her lips with his finger and kissed her gently
Annika let him kiss her as She
sneakily kicked the box away from them
After Shivaay calmed down, Annika changed the topic and said
Shiv tomorrow you are attending a Business party..Right ?
So I have Already Prepared a suit for you
Let me show you !
She said and went to take his suit
From the walk in closet
Look Isn't this good ?
Do You like it ?
She asked When she returned with
his suit
I loved it !
Said Shivaay as he hugged her in his
arms
He peered at the suit and asked her
Aren't you going with me at the party ?
When Annika heard this, She pouted
Shiv I really wanted to come into the party but Tomorrow I have to go for an Important photoshoot
I agree Shiv, that I got the success soon But Still Right now I am Just a newcomer In this field, So I have to do work really hard to maintain a stable position and achieve my goals
Yes If She is getting new opportunities,
then she should respect them.
Recently She became a Brand Ambassador of a Popular Jewellery brand of Paris, So Tomorrow She has to do a photoshoot for that Brand, Which is a good thing for her career
If she will reject them suddenly After saying yes ..Then It will not be appropriate
It can spoil her image in front of them,
They will think that after getting success She is getting prouder and She does not want any negativity around her
And above all of it She is still not at Shivaay's level that She can openly attend a Grand Business banquet with him as his partner
Looking at her dejected face, Shivaay felt bad for her, She does not need to work so hard to achieve her goals, because He is always here to help her and grant her whatever she desires
She Just needs to announce her
relationship with him, After that everything will be easier for her and no one will dare to come on her way or challenge her
But If She wants to achieve everything as her own capabilities without any one's help then he will always respect her decision and Will support her in every step of her life "thought Shivaay
Shivaay ruffled her hair, He gently kissed her forehead and encouraged her
Anni , It's really a good thing that you have a goal in your life and you are working hard to achieve it but for achieving your goal don't rush yourself
I agree that In this Fashion and Entertainment Industry there are only few people Who earned fame and established themselves in the higher positions...but the reality is that they are much more older than you and They entered in this Industry ten to twelve years before you did
Still It is not the Main issue
because The fact is that you can get this position in less time in comparison to them
If you have full determination and honesty towards your work then no one can stop you to achieve your goals
Believe me Anni, You're doing really great with your achievements and one day you will become a
' One of a kind legend '
Shivaay said last line with full
faith
One of a kind legends ..
When Annika heard these ..' prophecy like words '.. her all dejection, confusion and tiredness got vanished
Tears of Happiness formed in her eyes,
One side She met with the People like
Arnav Raichand, Mittali Raichand,
Sara kloss, Roshini and Arjun who never left any chance to hurt her, humiliate her or deceive her
While other side
She met with a person like Shivaay Who never let her Morale down ...He Always believes her capabilities, appreciates her efforts and encourages her to move forward ..He Understands her so well that no one can
She doesn't know what good things She did in her past births that She was able to get a person like him as her life partner
She was really touched as She felt the
Unlimited love and indulgence from him
She wrapped her arms around
his waist and leaned over slightly
Did I told you that I am falling for
you more and more deeply with each passing day ? She whispered
Hearing these words from her, His eyes darkened, He caressed her head with utmost love , and showered her face with His tender kisses
---------------------------------------
What ? Annika refused to take the shares of property ?
Asked Arnav Raichand unbelievingly
Actually, Arnav Already transferred
Twenty five percent shares on Annika's name, The papers were completely ready Only Annika's signatures were needed on it , After her signatures these papers will Automatically came in effect
He himself wanted to meet Annika
to give her those papers..but She was not ready to meet with him. Nor did she receive his calls ..When Mittali saw this she told him that he doesn't need to get anxious about it
If he really wanted to give Annika the shares of His property then She has no problem with it
She told Arnav that Annika is a good
girl..She is Your Biological daughter So as your Wife I am also ready to accept her as my own daughter, From Childhood Annika faced many difficulties without a family So I feel really sorry for her
She is angry with us for the past things
So I was Already thinking about meeting with Annika to apologize to her and clear all the differences , That's Why Tomorrow I am going to meet with Annika
So You can give these papers to me,
I will give these papers to him
Mittali assured Arnav
That's Why Arnav gave those papers to her And In the morning She went to meet With Annika on her film set ..but now When She returned from there after meeting Annika So she is saying that Annika refused to accept those papers
Yes Arnav, I went to meet with
Annika to give her property papers,
First She did not meet with me and let me wait outside her vanity
And After three hours When
She finally met with me then
I told her my reason to go there
First I apologized to her for the past things and later I gave her the
property papers but She tore the papers into the pieces angrily And refused to accept it
I tried a lot to convince her ,
I told her that Whatever happened into the past cannot be changed, That's Why we should forget about the past and move forward
I told her that she should forgive us and move forward in the life as You and I truly want to welcome her as our daughter in the Raichand family
I told her that We are very sorry for the things Which happened in the past and regretted badly, So She should give us a one chance to Improve our mistakes and She should accept the share of the property and come back to us But In return She insulted me
She said that She is not a bit interested in our wealth and property She said she doesn't need money Because She is capable of earning as much money as she wants ..She said that she does not depend upon her father and husband to earn money
She said I am nothing without my father and husband property
She told me that She will never forgive us and In her eyes I am Just a Homewrecker nothing else ...She told me that I am a selfish woman
Who backstabbed her best friend
behind her back and had an extra marital affair with her husband
Said Mitali While having tears in her
eyes
Are you saying the truth ?
I mean I don't think Annika can say all these things to you ever, as much as I know She is a very good girl...Who always respects elders "
Asked Arnav Suspiciously
Don't know Why but he was not ready to believe that Annika can act in this way with anyone without any valid reason
When Mittali heard this, She got really frustrated and angry ..She could not understand why he was not ready to believe her
She composed herself and said
I knew Arnav that you will never believe me ..Because you don't trust me or love me ..That's Why I record the whole conversation between me and Annika ...then you can decide yourself that I am saying right or wrong
After saying that Mittali showed Arnav
the recording between her and Annika's conversation ...but to prove herself right and innocent in front of Arnav She showed Arnav only that part of the recording Where She was saying to Annika to forget about the past things and Annika insulted her and refused to accept the shares of the property !
When Arnav Watched the recording,
He was completely shocked
Because According to the recording whatever Mittali said a few minutes ago was true
When Mittali saw Arnav's confused expressions she smirked
I hope Arnav that Now you will believe me that I was saying the truth and I have no wrong Intentions towards Annika ...I agree She is my step daughter but Believe me I have not
hard feelings for her in my heart
I really wanted to accept her in our family as our younger daughter, but She really hates us and is not ready to forgive us at any cost
Said Mittali in a hurt voice, but Mittali
was not aware that With Arnav someone else also heard Whatever she said Just now , She got extremely shocked when she heard the familiar voice from behind
What did you say ?
You said that Annika is your step daughter ? Are you saying truth or
Did I hear anything
wrong ?
Asked someone in a loud voice
