"Sometimes, I found myself drowning even before I turned the shower on."



Anika Maheshwari.



"A hot romance brewing between the royal heirs.", I read the headline in today's newspaper and sighed. I kept aside my coffee mug and diverted my whole attention to the article which had mine and Shivaay's big photograph of our dance at the Royal meet.Damn Royal meet!


My whole life has turned upside down with these three days of the Royal meet. What not have happened?Here's the list:1. My name got allegedly linked to a person I least wanted with- Shivaay Singh Oberoi.2. Me and Shivaay's video leakage of the cold storage room where he was.. Let's just not talk about that now!3. My reputation has gone downhill because of the above point.4. Not much is going right between me and my fiance after the Royal meet.5. With this dwindling relationship, a big merger that is happening between Raigarh and Sahore, my fiance's estate is also at risk.


Not only mine and my family's reputation is soar but it has also affected all the trading business of Raigarh.Raigarh can't manage to afford this much loss. I have to talk to Siddharth., I thought.


"Yes Mr. Kundra. Good morning.", I heard Gauri coming downstairs all set for the day talking to Mr. Kundra, one of our nobles on the phone.

She greeted me with her eyebrow and sat down opposite to me at the breakfast table. I realized Mr. Kundra said something on the phone which she obviously didn't like.

"Excuse me Mr. Kundra? I hope you know you are talking about Ms. Anika Maheshwari.", She said in her usual voice filled with attitude.Why she gets angry so easily?


"Aisa kuch nhi hai Mr. Kundra. You don't worry. Nice to talk to you. Now bye.", she cut the phone saying all that sarcastically and gave me a helpless look for my Why-you-always-have-to-do-this look.


"Wasn't it about me and Shivaay?", I asked her. She refused to reply and meet my gaze and started eating her omelet."It's all over the newspaper.. Tere bolne ya na bolne se sach nhi badal jayegaa.. ", I rebuked her.She looked at me in surprise and snatched away the newspaper from my hand and read the headlines of the cover page and looked at me almost shocked."Vese toh yeh Oberois apne bare me koi aise vesi news release nhi hone dete then how come this Shivaay Singh Oberoi can let this happen?", Gauri said pointing towards me and Shivaay's photograph which was clicked at a very wrong time.It seemed as if we are in deeply and madly engrossed into each other like lost lovers.
