The whole mansion shook as each family member was shocked when they saw shivaay taking or to say dragging Anika towards the mandap. Anika's face was emotionless. Dried tear marks were visible on her face but nobody was in a state to question that.

The priest chanted the mantras as Shivaay and Anika took rounds around the holy fire. Shivaay tied the mangal sutra (Nuptial chain ) around Anika's neck and filled her hairline with the red powder called vermilion. The priest announced that they are husband and wife from now on. As soon as those words hit her ears, Anika's tear drop that she tried so much to stop, rolled down her cheek like a rebel.

"What's happening Shivaay and you.. what have you done ? Why did you marry Anika and that too so suddenly ?" Pinky spoke as she couldn't hold her curiosity. Everyone looked towards Shivaay for an answer because they had the same question to ask.

Surprisingly, none of them were angry. Their heart said it was meant to happen and they were fine with it. But still, the curiosity took the better of them and they asked Shivaay to answer their question.

Before Shivaay could answer, Tia and her mom, Sakshi entered the mansion and their world of dreams just shattered, would be an understatement. Looking at Anika and Shivaay standing together as Anika's simple dupatta was tied with a pink shawl kept on Shivaay's shoulder, the priest, the mandap and Anika's nuptial chain was enough for them to know that Shivaay married Anika.

"Shivaay baby, how could you marry this girl ? Have you forgotten that she had insulted your family ? We were about to get married, baby ? Then why did you do this ? I think this girl did something. Tell me, baby." Tia spoke staring Anika angrily. She was still unaware of the storm that's going to hit her soon.

"Dare you speak a word against my wife. She is Mrs. Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi. You don't have status to even keep an eye on her. So shut your mouth." Shivaay shouted as Tia and Sakshi shivered in fear.

"What did you both think, that you'll fill Samar and his family's ears against my sister and use it in your own benefits ? But you forgot that you are plotting against Shivaay Singh Oberoi. The only mistake you made was, you targeted my sister and I'm not going to leave you for that." Shivaay spoke and the two evil ladies almost lost their breathes due to fear.

"What are talking about, Shivaay ? Tell us clearly." Janvi spoke because now she was worried for her daughter.

"They tried to instigate samar's grand mother against Prinku. They told her that we want to get Prinku married soon because she's...she was trying to run with another guy." Shivaay told everything, gritting his teeth in anger.

Janvi was angry and she slapped Tia across her face really hard. She didn't want to know the reason of Tia's benefit in all this. But Shivaay said Tia was at fault so she knows he is saying the truth. He is her first son and he can never lie, especially when the matter concerns his sister's life and happiness.

"Why did you do this ? Speak up ?" Tej roared and asked from Sakshi who by now, was on the verge of collapsing.

"I'll tell you bade papa. Kapoor industries is bankrupt and that's why Mrs. Kapoor wanted Tia to get married to me so they can save their business. They said to Samar's grand mother that Priyanka is not good for their family and that, we want to get rid of her. That's why she's getting married even before her elder bothers, especially me. Samar told me all this. He lied to his grand mother that these two are lying and that, I'm married." Shivaay stated and the matter became clear to them.

"I'll show you the consequences of messing with Shivaay Singh Oberoi. You wanted to save your business, right ? It's now finished. Now get out of here." Shivaay showed them the way to the exit and Tia and her mother left from there, crying over there stupid plan's failure.
