Shivaay walked inside the room, his eyes fell on her, inside he was facing turmoil of emotions. His fist clenched with just mere thought of her crying in pain and begging for the person to stop, he couldn't even imagine what she might have gone through.

His heart bled when he saw her in such state, his anger build up when he saw her forehead bleeding and red marks of hands on her cheeks. His eyes teared up when he saw scratches and bite marks with few bleeding and few turned purple around her neck and waist region. His eyes fell on her hand that had the purple bruises on it which reflected how tight and painful the person had pinned her down.

His eyes darkened, fist clenched and uneven breathing...every single part of his cell wanted revenge. Revenge for laying finger on her, for touching his wife, for giving her pain, for making her cry, for making her beg ...he will take revenge of every single thing and the person will suffer hell.

His trance broke as he heard her moan in pain. He walked near her to see her waking up.

"Shivaay" she whispered trying to get up but winced in pain as she put pressure on her hands.

"Just lay down Anika, if you need anything just tell me, I'll fech for you."

"Shiv...what happened to me? Why is my body aching so much and this headache....she caught hold of her head feeling slight dizzy!"

"You..You fell down from stairs Anika and your wrist and legs are hurt" He lied looking every where but not in her eyes.

"Oh! Voh ...Shivaay..I'm hungry." Her words made him strike that she didn't have anything since evening.

"I'll bring food for you. Just take rest don't stand or else you'll end up hurting yourself once again ,okay!" Shivaay helped her lay down. Anika nodded.

(Time skip)

Finishing the dinner, Shivaay helped her lay down, he switched off the lights taking his place beside her.

She dozed off in next few minutes while sleep was away from his eyes, he felt her hands wrapping around his torso, he pulled her closer tightening his hold on her, as if she would get hurt once again.

He didn't knew what he is gonna answer tomorrow when she sees scratches and bites all over her body ..he need to come up with something and hide the truth from her.

.....

"Puttar how are you feeling now?" Dadi asked caressing Anika's hair. All Oberoi members were present in the room. Anika was strictly ordered to rest.

"Ha beta, if you need anything just call us. Okay!" Pinky kissed her forehead.

Anika didn't know why but she was feeling that something is not right. She could see that their words and expressions didn't match.

"Take rest dear" Tej said patting her cheeks. Later everyone left the room except Shivaay.

"Umm... Shivaay can you help me walk till the bathroom!" She asked feeling bit shy. It wasn't like she was not able to walk but her knees pained whenever she took a step.

"Sure.." He carried her till the door .

"Call me if you need anything."  She nodded closing the door behind.

Discarding her clothes, she allowed hot water to run down her body, deep sigh left her mouth as she felt hot sensation that helped her with body ache.

Taking her sweet time, she washed herself before walking upto the mirror.

She stumbled back looking at the marks and bruises at her upper body. She ran her hand down the marks hissing at the burning sensation. From few places the skin was completely off, it was like raw flesh...what happened last night? How did she get this? She tried remembering last night events only to feel headache building up.

She got blur flashes of last night but nothing seemed tk make any sense. She felt her legs giving up...she caught hold of the basin.

Tears of frustration and helplessness fall down her cheeks...with much difficulty she wore bathrobe..in process her wrist banged against the basin making her yelp in pain.

"Shivaay" Anika shouted and in no time he rushed inside looking tensed.

"Shiv..." She literally lose her balance only to be caught by him. He picked her in his arms and walked outside.

She clutched him tightly crying her heart out. He settled them on the bed with her on his lap. He tried to calm her down by rubbing her back and speaking sweet things to her.

"Shh...Anika.. I've got you, it's okay. You are okay." He slowly took her swollen wrist in his hands. Let me grab ice-pack for you, "No! Please stay" she cried tightening her hold.

"Okay..okay..I ain't going anywhere. Tell me what happened? Is it paining?" He slowly carressed her swollen hands.

"I saw bruises and scratches around my neck..hiccup...and hiccup..shoulder ...what happened yesterday? Tell me the truth hiccup..Shiv..Shivaay" she mumbled trying to control her emotions.

Shivaay wiped her tears and quickly messaged Om to send servant with icepack and also call the doctor.

He knew truth cannot be hidden, someday or other she is gonna know, but right now he first need to consult doctor before telling her the whole truth .

"Umm ...we shall talk about it later first let me apply icepack on your hand or it will swell more.." he tried to delay in answering her.

Shivaay made her sit while putting pillow behind her to be comfortable and rushed out to grab the first aid.

Anika closed her eyes feeling all tired and worn out, she didn't like to be kept in dark, she wanted to know everything that happened yesterday but it was as if her mind was not ready to disclose yesterday's events.

Shivaay tended her hand with utmost care and patience, he made sure she wasn't hurting with the pressure he was applying. He made her eat some fruits.

Pinky walked in to help Anika change , by the time she changed, Shivaay consulted the doctor who prescribed not to disclose the truth anytime soon.

Arnav walked in Oberoi Mansion.

"Arnav beta, Harsh aur Sarika nahi aaye?" Dadi asked

"No dadi, mom has yet not recovered, so doctor has suggested for her to rest and dad didn't wanted to leave mom alone." Elders nodded understanding the situation.

"Shivaay is Anika okay? Did she remember anything?"

"I'm not sure but she has a doubt that we are trying to hide something from her infact she told she tried remembering yesterday night's event but nothing was clear."

Both walked into the room to find Pinky and Anika talking with each other.

"Princess" Arnav's voice made them turn towards the door. Just a mere voice of her brother made her burst into tears.

Arnav rushed towards her taking her princess in his arms. Tears escaped from his eyes looking at the state of her sister. Since childhood he had made sure nobody hurts her and not even single scratch touches her body but today he failed as a brother to protect his sister from a monster, he failed in keeping his promise to always protect her.

"Bhai...I know you guys are hiding something from me. Tell me na what happened? Even Shivaay is not saying anything.." Anika demanded breaking the hug.

Arnav looked at Shivaay and nodded. "Anika yesterday when you fell down the stairs, you landed on broken glass pieces scattered there." He lied

Anika nodded seeming to buy the reason. Later trio spend time talking and eating lunch in the room before Arnav left for the home .
