Anika sat waiting for her train to arrive. She had contemplated on taking a taxi out of the City but she decided it would be better for her to be surrounded by people rather than trapped alone with her thoughts in a taxi.
As she watched passengers get off the train currently in front of her, she tried to keep her mind on her plan for the days ahead, but it was impossible not to think of the emotional storm and darkness that was inside her.
Her heart aching with the realization that he was no longer going to be a part of her life, that she longer could look at his green eyes or hear him tease her about becoming another SSO.
It had threatened to break her. Because no matter how much Anika loved him, no matter how potent the tug to just run back to him was- She couldn't.
Maybe in another lifetime this could be me, she thought as she watched a man help his pregnant wife off the train.
"Anika! Don't leave. please"
Anika felt arms wrap around her shoulders and looked to her side at the pouting woman. In spite of the pain wrecking her insides, it was impossible not to smile at the woman who'd recently claimed her as a dear one, who was there through the most difficult phase of Anika's life.
Who Anika had called to accompany her while she spent her last few minutes in this city. She needed someone to keep her occupied and not wanting to dash back to Shivaay.
Tia was the only other person besides Omkara and Rudra who knew what she was doing and why she had done it.
"I have to. I don't have anything here" Anika sighed.
Her responding words were unexpectedly serious. "Running away isn't you, Anika. When did you become so weak?"
Anika went to snap back a reply but closed her mouth partway. "You-"
"I didn't know you were such a coward Anika. The Anika I've come to know wouldn't have given up"
Stung, Anika pulled away. "I'm not giving up. I'm leaving because I want him to be happy"
Those words had become her personal mantra but somehow, there was a part of her that kept asking...Will he really be happy without you?
"I don't know, Anika" Tia said, her gaze thoughtful. "From what I've seen, it sure as hell seems like you're his happiness. His strength. By leaving him, you're only making him more vulnerable to those who want to hurt him"
Panic burned in her chest, but she tapered it down before hissing a response under her breath. "His brothers will be there to protect him. They promised me that they would. Plus, the hate he has for me will make him strong"
Anika watched in shock as her pregnant friend burst into a fit of laughter and that very shocked turned into fear when she heard broken words spoken between laughter. "Hate? Anika, if he hated you, I don't think he would be here right now"
And then Anika witnessed the power Shivaay Singh Oberoi had.
Anika watched as Shivaay began to stride through the crowd. A few aggressive strangers turned to give him a talking-to...and froze, their gazes jerking as their faces paled before they moved out of his way as fast as possible.
He didn't say a word, didn't so much as make a sound, but soon enough his presence had been spread as people nudged one another and it took less than a minute for the entire platform to go deadly quiet.
Tia stood up and slipped off to the side, mouthing "Good luck"
Within seconds sweat was trickling down Anika's back, her face, pasting strands of hair to her temples as she found herself two meters from a very pissed off Shivaay.
"No" She whispered. "You can't be here."
In the hours since she'd left the mansion, she'd realized that there was no way to turn back the clock, no way to escape the inevitable. The only thing she could do was make sure that he let her go.
It was difficult to stand her ground when all she wanted to do was wrap her arms around him and ask him to make it alright.
But she had to be strong. "What do you want? More insults?"
Shivaays response was to graze his burning eyes over her in a slow deadly sweep.
"Intimidating me won't work!" She folded her arms to stow away her shaking hands. "Your presence alone is unbearable"
"Will you be walking to the car or will I have to carry you?
She swallowed as she remembered him carrying out a similar threat, but she wasn't going to drop her resolve. "You don't have the right to order me around anymore, Shivaay"
Shivaay didn't say a single word, gave no indication that he'd heard her reply as he put his hand on her lower back and herded her out of the station.
She almost went. Halfway there, she dug in her heels, determined to get away from him but one look at his face and she knew it'd be a very bad idea to confront him here. She could see Tia over his shoulder, franticaly shaking her head, but edging forward as if to protect her.
Her loyalty ignited a deep warmth with her. But this was a private war
So she shook her head at her friend and walked out of the station. He held her arm again once they were outside and steered her towards his car and she went because she didn't want to cause another scene
Because unlike the last night, Shivaay didn't look pissed or hurt. This was an anger that went deeper, ran far colder. What caused it, she didn't know.
---------------------
"Get In" Shivaay growled, meeting brown eyes that held a unimaginable dept of emotion. "Now"
Anika didn't immediately obey, and that just infuriated him even more. "Last warning"
Holding his gaze, Anika said "You can't force me, Shivaay. I only came outside because I d-"
Shivaay didn't pay them any attention. He'd had enough. A single, precisely timed tug and he tilted her off balance. As she fell, he caught her, threw her over his shoulder and walked to the passenger side of the car.
Anika, having apparently recovered from the loss of breath caused by his sudden move, began to wiggle and twist. "Let me go!"
"You really don't want to test my patience right now, Anika" Shivaay gritted out as he dumped her in the passenger seat and got in, central locking the doors to ensure she didn't escape.
He drove out of the parking area and back into the Mumbai traffic even as she pulled at the door handle and screamed countless threats that he ignored.
"You already know what I'm capable of Shivaay. Let me go or I will ruin you even more!"
Anger was suddenly a blade inside him, each word of hers edging him one step closer to unknown savagery. He squeezed both hands around the steering wheel in a vain effort to stop the primitive fury of his reaction.
He growled low in his throat, releasing his anger the only way he could. "Be.Quiet"
Anika seemed shocked into silence. It lasted about six minutes. "Shivaay I swear to God, if you don't let me out of this car, you will regret it"
Here he was trying to calm himself down before the conversation he planned to have with her and there she was instigating him to reach out and strangle her for what she had done to him.
He kept his eyes on the road. Where the hell was the turnoff? There! Shivaay turned the vehicle into a narrow roads that led to Anika's house.
Ex house, he reminded himself, Oberoi Mansion is her house now.
"My house? Why are you taking me there?!" She asked, her shock evident. "Answer me damn it!"
He slammed the car into low gear, maneuvering them through the crowd lanes, barely avoiding the pedestrians and a few vegetable and food carts.
"You have no right over me anymore! You can't force me!"
That did it. He brought the car to a screeching halt in front of her ex house. "Get out" He said, turning to glare at her.
She blinked. "No"
"I will carry you out of this car if you don't get out NOW!" He leaned closer, eyes narrowed to slits. She was crushed against the door now, his hand palm down beside her head.
But her face was one of rebellion. "No"
"60 seconds, Anika. You only have 60 seconds to get out of this car and get into the damn house" He smiled and got out of the car. He bent down to look at her and said in warning "Try and run again"
Shivaay leaned against the drawer behind the door he had left opened for her. His heart sped up as he counted the last second and wondered whether she had run again but he breath a sigh of relief when she calm walked into the house and took a seat on the sofa.
Obviously she would purposely piss me off, he told himself.
Shivaay locked the door again and walked around to sit beside Anika. When she made no move to acknowledge him, he growled low in his throat, fisted his hand in her hair and tugged back her head.
"Shivaay!" She snapped, her shell cracking. "What th-"
"Shut up, Anika" He gripping her jaw with the fingers of his other hand. "You are going to start explaining and I legitimate answers. Because I refuse to let you distance yourself from me for an illegitimate reason.. We stand and we fight. Together, remember?"
Anika didn't reply, didn't say a word. If Shivaay hadn't already begun to sense her with a part of him he'd never thought would be awakened by anyone, he wouldn't have picked up the distress behind her implacable mask.
"What is it? Speak to me, Anika"
She pressed her lips together. Damn, stubborn woman. Eyes narrowed, he thought over what he'd said, coupled it with her vulnerabilities.
I refuse to let you distance yourself from me for an illegitimate reason "You're still thinking about last night?"
So I've hit the target correctly, he thought when her lashes fluttered down for an instant before rising resolutely. "Om-"
"Stop it. A harsh whisper. "Let me go and stop it.
"Oh, no, Anika" He released her chin but maintained his hold on her hair. He was careful of his strength, but implacable. He knew she'd refuse to talk unless he made her.
"This is how it's going to work" He said. "Either you tell me the truth about everything or i'll do something out of character, Anika"
Her eyes widened, then grew hot with the blinding fury of a temper she'd never before shown. "Like what? You've already done your worse Shivaay! Was my revenge on you not enough-"
He'd already given her a warning. So now he just kissed her. Her mouth was open and he was oh-so-tempted to sweep his tongue inside, to savor what he craved with every hard inch of him.
But, though she might not believe it, he was trying to be good. She had no idea how good he was being. The second their lips parted, she took a deep, shuddering breath that did all sorts of interesting things to her breasts.
He looked down and realized he had plans for those breasts, such sinful plans. "Talk" He ordered.
Shivaay knew something was wrong the instant Anika pushed him away with strength that had him letting go of her. She got up and walked to the door but he moved quicker and placed himself between her and the door.
It was a shock to come face-to-face with her and realize that no trace remained of the soft,vulnerable eyed woman he'd just kissed
Every nerve in him went stiff in rejection. Not of her. Of the mask she'd donned once again. She was hiding herself and that was unacceptable to him.
Because thought he knew that she had purposely instigated him to throw her out of the house. He didn't know why. But he would get his answers tonight. After all, he was Shivaay Singh Oberoi.
