----------------------------------------------------------

Everyone in the hall were amused seeing Vansh at the breakfast table. More shock for them was that he was having a slight yet visible smile on his face. They were shocked seeing him smiling. Seeing him smiling itself was a big wonder and him smiling at these days of the years even after what all happened yesterday was like a big shocker for all the family members.

Vansh was in his own world. Reminiscing the blushing Riddhima fetched a smile on his face. The way she was shuttering and was lost in another world makes Vansh chuckle. She was cute actually.

Then his thoughts went onto her expressions when he suggested for a massage. She was literally a kid. A cute kid who is manipulated and struck in Kabir's trap badly.

Well, he knew all about it already. That was only the reason that he had forced her to accept it on many instances. But she was a very stubborn kid. She was lost in believing what Kabir had fed her with that she didn't try to see the truth till now.

He then sees Riddhima coming down the stairs. Dresses in a baby pink saree she was looking so beautiful. He passes a smile seeing her while she reacts as if she had seen a ghost seeing him.

Ignoring him, she goes and takes her seat on the table while Vansh too follows her. The whole breakfast, he was controlling his laughter seeing her attempts to ignore him.

"Boss, picture Bhabhi ne nahi churaya tha," Angre whispers in his ear while Vansh was looking at Riddhima.

"Kisne kiya tha?" Vansh asks him angrily.

Whoever it was, they had literally dug their own grave. Stealing and burning his mother's painting and blaming it on Riddhima, they have gone on par with their mistakes. Whoever had done that definitely would get a punishment from Vansh.

"Boss voh... actually ..." Angre started to fumble, making Vansh suspicious.

"Who did it Angre?" Vansh asks him angrily.

"Anupriya," Angre confesses, making Vansh shocked.

Then, instantly Angre plays the footage where she had stolen the painting and she had removed the black coat in her room. She had successfully dodged all the cameras but she didn't know the locations of some secret cameras due to which she had been caught.

Cheat!

That was the only thing running in Vansh's brain. She had been using his trust on her in a wrong way.

Vansh breaks the plate in his hand making a huge sound. Everyone's attention goes towards him due to the sound. Blood starts to drip from his injured hand, catching Riddhima's attention.

Before she could do anything, Anupriya comes to him.

"Vansh are you okay? What is this? Look, you are bleeding," she says inspecting his hand with concern dripping from her eyes.

Vansh dodges way his hand from her, pushing her away in the process.

"How dare you!" he shouts, making her shocked.

"What happened Vansh? Look at your hand, you are bleeding," she adds, making him more furious.

"Why did you burn my mother's painting?" he asks her with bloodshot eyes, while he looks on shocked.
