BEYOND THE CLOUDS (Completed)

Chapter 32

Shehnaaz stared back at the beautiful girl coming out of the room, along with Sidharth and immediately recognized her from the pictures she had seen in the past.

Apart from Sidharth, she was the other half of the couple that were touted as the Malabar Hill Sweethearts.

His distraught face was telling her, this was not a sight she was supposed to meet.

And the coy smile on Devanshi’s face made matters even worse.

Her face went ashen in a split second and she quickly turned around to make a beeline for Sunaina’s room.

Sidharth was about to rush after her, but was stopped by Devanshi.

“Sidharth, m so sorry, your girlfriend probably misunderstood everything. Let me handle this. Maybe after hearing me out, she might calm down. Ok?” she sounded so earnest, Sidharth couldn’t say no.

All he wanted was for Shehnaaz to know the truth before she jumped to a conclusion, and it would be better if it went out from the horses mouth itself.

Afterall Devanshi was responsible for this hoax relationship, he thought for a moment and saw her going after Shehnaaz.

“Hey” Devanshi greeted, sweeping in and perching herself beside Shehnaaz who was seated on the couch, looking visibly upset.

Soon as Devanshi’s irritating cologne infiltrated her senses, Shehnaaz rose up and stood facing her, unable to decide how to react.

“I know all about you and Sidharth. So chill” Devanshi spoke with utmost coldness, trying to make Shehnaaz feel like she was the intruder

“The thing is I always knew its going to be like that with him. Its like, he needs a play thing every now and then, to cool himself off, until he can return back to me. I have had my heart broken several times in the past two years, but trust me, it doesn’t even bother me anymore” she sighed, and looked at Shehnaaz’s shocked face

“Whaaaat? Oh ya, you must be thinking how am I putting up with all this right?” she drawled and continued, “Actually darling, infidelity runs in Sidharth’s blood. M sure you don’t even know, but Sidharth’s father Ajay Shukla still continues to have a string of girlfriends. Its like these Shukla men can never be satisfied with one woman” she shook her head

“But I have told him, he can sow as many wild oats as he wants, but only until we make it official. Once that happens he will only be mine. Hopefully” a flash of pain coursed her face for a moment but she was smiling again

“So my dear, don’t be upset. I will not take him away from you. You can have all your fun, enjoy the lavish gifts he will shower, the amazing places he will take you to, and
ofcourse, the Sex, I mean Sidharth is an unstoppable stallion who knows how to pleasure you until you are numb with it.” She smiled looking at a sour faced Shehnaaz and walked to her, gently holding her hand

“He is a generous man, m sure by the time you guys are done with this fling of yours, you will have gathered quiet a good sum, which will enable you to live luxuriously. So enjoy it while it lasts” she smirked and left, leaving Shehnaaz angrier than she already was.

Shehnaaz took a deep breath and released it slowly, trying to calm herself.

Her tears wont stop and her heart felt like it would jut out of her chest and land right on the floor.

She wanted to believe Sidharth, and all his tall claims of loving her, but turns out they were just that. CLAIMS.

What she saw and heard from Devanshi had clouded her mind, making it impossible for her to think straight.
