Chapter 20: A Place For Everything and Everything in Its Place

Shivvay had a few loose ends that he needed to tie up before his 3pm appointment with Mrs. Annika Shivvay Singh Oberoi, whose future and present, he had realized, he had the duty to secure. That would not be a hard task considering the people who were going to be responsible for doing it were almost eating out of her hands already.

He had always been intrigued by how easy it was for most people to become fond of Annika only after a few brief meetings. He was almost positive that the woman was the direct descendant of a "Charm Speaker' from the ancient times.

She had gotten into his personal security Khanna's' good graces in the very first meeting. It was the very first time he had seen this rough and insensitive man actually feel for someone her was meant to torment. Rajveer, the head of Oberoi Mansion security, who was always cool, detached and aloof, was overly protective of Mrs. Shivvay Singh Oberoi because he considered her a little innocent child who had a tendency to get lost even on the Oberoi grounds. The 'cute Mr. Mishra' as Annika had dubbed Anant Mishra, Shivvay's personal secretary, was given the liberty from his very first meeting with Annika, at the Oberoi Mansion, to call her Annika Didi. Of course he would never dare call her anything other than Junior Mrs. Oberoi in Shivvay's presence, which Shivvay was very aware, was met with a wink from his minx of a wife.

But the biggest surprise of his life was when ACP, Ranveer Randhawa, walked in unannounced one Sunday morning claiming that he was there to speak with Annika Di. The whole family, except for the young ones, that had gathered in the living room after breakfasts were stunned that he had addressed her as his sister. Apparently she had taken it upon her to ask Randhawa to assign a junior policeman to spend 3 days in a week teaching the kids from her neighborhood the law and self-defense. She was trying to promote positive role models that they could learn from.

It was that day that Shivvay had resigned himself to accept the fact that he would never be able to keep up with his whirlwind' of a wife and her doings.

This afternoon he had already briefed Khanna that, no matter what, he was never to lose sight or track of Annika outside the Oberoi Mansion. He had asked Rajveer to keep a closer eye on Annika while she strolled the grounds and also hire a private detective to gather evidence against Tia. Both men, who were trusted and longtime Oberoi employees, were briefed on his drive home that afternoon for lunch, about Daksh and Tia's truth as well.

After that he had called Mishra and asked that legal documents be prepared as per his instructions that would kill two birds with one stone. All his bank accounts, holdings, shares, stocks, companies and any financial assets that Tia could benefit from would be frozen the day he filed for a divorce to be later transferred in the name of Mrs. Annika Shivvay Singh Oberoi as alimony once the divorce came through.

He was to make the papers in such a way that Mr. Shivvay Singh Oberoi would be worth no more than a mere high paid silent partner in Mrs. Annika Shivvay Singh Oberoi's holdings with no control at all over these assets. Om and Rudra would be named her legal advisors and any or all assets could be transferred back to him only if the papers were jointly signed by them releasing these assets.

How that was going to be brought about and how he would get Annika to sign on the much needed documents was Mishra's problem. Shivvay gave him leave to consult with the Oberoi legal advisor Mr. D'Souza on this matter but it would have to be done by the end of the day.

He had heard Mishra choke on his coffee on the other end and come down with a violent coughing fit at what Shivvay had sprung upon him. But once Shivvay had explained the new developments about Tia, it had taken the sharp and calculating Mishra just a few seconds to recover and quickly access the reason behind this drastic step that Shivvay was taking. He quickly excused himself and disconnected the call to get the process started.

Shivvay was satisfied with his radical decision as it would not only ensure that, in event of any unexpected turn of events from Tia and her mother, his assets were in safe hands but would now also deter Annika from signing the divorce papers.

As his chauffeur turned into the office building for ACP Randhawa he geared up for the last but most important visit for the afternoon. When he called Randhawa and informed him that his visit was in connection with Annika he was at once ushered into his office. Shivvay briefed him about what he had discovered about Daksh and handed the USB as evidence so that a case could be filed against the man. He assured Randhawa that he would brief Annika about it as well and if needed would show her the copy of the video clips that he had on his laptop.

Now that everything was in place and there were no lose ends that would need to be looked after, he headed back to the office for his very first appointment with his very difficult and sassy protege, Mrs.Annika Oberoi.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost 2.45pm. I had just 15 minutes to be briefed by Mishra on his progress with the legal documents before Mrs. Annika Oberoi nee Ms Annika arrived at the office.

I found a very serious looking Mishra waiting in my office as he sat scanning documents held in his hands and smiled. I knew he would not take anything related to Annika lightly and was sure he would manage to not only get the documents sealed water tight but would also manage to get her signature on it by the end of the day.

Annika would definitely not trust me if I asked her to sign them but with Mishra saying they were from Badi Ma about her contract, I knew she would never refuse or doubt him. He started updating me the minute I walked in and even before I could sit down. He was aware that Annika was to spend the rest of the day in my office training and he would not get another opportunity to go over this with me again.

He had to make sure he had covered all the bases and had done this right. He knew he had just one shot at getting this right.

We were almost done when I felt my gaze being drawn to the door to my office.

I could always feel her presence even before I saw her and raised my hand indicating that he stop speaking. A very puzzled Mishra stopped mid-sentence, looked at me and then followed my gaze to the door.

His jaw almost hit the floor when she opened the door and walked in and all I could manage was a sharp intake of breath at the sight before me.

There stood my wife looking as stunning as a one of the models on the runway. She had swept her lovely locks all to one side, to hide the tiny streak of sindoor under the hairline and had secured it with a few tiny rhinestone clips that looked like tiny stars.

Her blouse was a high neck lace black number, to hide the mangalsutra I assumed, with a heart shaped deep back that showed off her beautiful smooth skin. The cream and black saree she worn was draped a.k.a Jhanvi Oberoi style and the lovely strappy low heels she wore led to the slight swaying of the hips when she walked.

All in all, the impact of Ms Annika's arrival led to the incessant buzzing of the entire Oberoi office. I sighed and rubbed my fingers to my temple wondering if I would have to transfer most of my single male employees to another office for the next couple of months.

I was very aware of the impact Mrs. Annika Oberoi had on the young males and knew that this was going to be one long torturous training period for me.

I turned to dismiss Mishra who was still staring at his Annika Didi's mysterious transformation in disbelief.

"Mishra!!!... Mishra!!!", I yelled to catch his attention as I felt sorry for the shock the poor man was going through. He had never seen his Annika Didi look like this before and was still trying to recover from it.

"Yess.. err.. yes Sir?", the poor man replied.

"If we are done Mishra you can go ahead and leave now", I said sternly to snap him out of it.

He looked towards me still a bit dazed and replied, "Yes sir ... I will leave now."

As he walked towards Annika he completely forgot his poise and greeted her with a, "Hello Annika Didi, you look very beautiful today", which was met with a violent clearing of my throat at his familiarity with Annika in my presence.

"Err.. Sorry Sir!! I mean welcome to the office Junior. Mrs. Oberoi..", he stated and was met with another stern 'Mishra!!' as a warning from me that he had used her married name which led to the poor man stuttering, 'I mean Ms. Annika... yes! Ms. Annika .. welcome to the office'.

He was so flustered that he did not even wait for Annika to reply but shot out of my office before he made any more blunders.

It was amusing to see Annika stare at him throughout the whole exchange wondering what in the world had gotten into him. She had no idea that Mishra had never seen this Annika and was almost awestruck by her for the moment. I actually felt sorry for the poor man right now.

"Are you going to stand at the door staring after Mishra or do you plan to come in Ms Annika?", I inquired sarcastically an eyebrow raised while I leaned back in my chair and surveyed her slowly from head to toe.

She could make a man's pulse race just by looking at him I thought amused.

Annika shut the door, plastered a sickeningly sweet smile on her beautiful face, as she walked over to my desk and took a seat.

"No 'good afternoon Mr. Oberoi, how are you today'? Where are your manners Annika?", I asked mockingly with a mock shocked expression to match it.

"Good afternoon Mr. Oberoi", she replied in a false sweet voice, "I hope I am on time for my appointment?" She tilted her chin up slightly in defiance to show me that she was not going to be intimidated by either me or my attitude.

"Right on time Annika", I answered dryly as I slowly stood up and walked casually to stand behind her, "and I am glad to see you are punctual and are taking this seriously."

I felt her stiffen as I placed my fingers on the back of her chair which resulted in them grazing her open back slightly, "I hope you are prepared to tackle all that is thrown at you as I am not known to be an easy task master. Besides, it has come to my attention that you are a very fast learner and I hope you live up to that reputation."

She made a move to get up and I firmly placed my hands on her shoulders to restrict her from moving.

Then I slowly leaned in to whisper in her ear and was rewarded when I heard her breath quicken while I drawled, "In here you are my wife and my protege and that equation does not change even when you are out there with the other office staff Annika."

Then I swung her chair around and heard her gasp in surprise at that sudden action and grip the arms tightly.

I bent down and placed my hands on either side of the arms of her chair, on her arms resting there,leaned into her face while she tried to lean away and said in a mildly intimidating voice, "Be mindful of that always as I am a very jealous and possessive husband and mentor and you will do well to always remember that. You may be Ms Annika to them all out there but to me you are, presently, in all respects Mrs. Annika Shivvay Singh Oberoi till you legally divorce me just as I have been, as I promised to Dadi, the husband of Annika Singh Oberoi from the day we married until I legally divorce you."

As she stared at me her beautiful brown eyes wide with surprise, I felt intoxicated by the smell that was wild roses and Annika all rolled into one.

My gaze shifted unconsciously to her inviting lips as she licked them nervously and I closed my eyes trying to control the thoughts that were invading my mind at that moment.

I clenched my jaw and with a herculean effort pushed away from her and turned around while I stated in a controlled voice, "Are we clear on that Annika?"

"Yes we are Shivvay", I heard her whisper softly as though trying to keep the peace while keeping me away from her as well.

I ran my fingers through my hair as I thought, "Mentoring Mrs. Oberoi while keeping my distance and my hands off her was going to be tougher than I thought. I was going to be a complete wreck by the end of this training period considering this woman was going to be spending the major part of my day alone with me in my office. What the hell were you thinking Shivvay when you agreed to this or maybe you were brain dead at that moment and were not thinking at all??!!"

Awesome asya,

brilliant update..very good going..👏

Thank u so much for the PM dear.
I can't tell u how much this was needed. Bcoz what's going on TV is well can't find words to describe it.
The Shivaay here is the Shivaay we were promised. Knowing how to handle stuff & turn every single thing his way. He knows what he wants & how to get it. Ruthless, intimidating & may I add after reading the second half so much more intelligent.
The second half was so perfect. The sexual tension between them is palpable. It would be fun to see how he handles it now onwards especially when he is so bothered by her presence.
And I love the Anika here. In her true form.Strong, independent & need I say Sassy as hell!
This is wonderful!Loved it!

Yayy...the office track commences! What a lovely update! Dil Khush ho gaya. Waiting for the next chapter eagerly!
