Chapter 19 - Devil's Rage

Shivaay's eyes closely followed Anika as he saw her make her way to Riddhima. How dare she? Right under his nose she had shown the audacity to call Riddhima to the Oberoi Mansion. He gritted his teeth as rage raked through his blood. The two women stood aside talking about something. He quickly made a call, his eyes not leaving the two women. Riddhima then walked away and Anika returned to where she had been standing. Shivaay quickly made his way towards Riddhima.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" His voice was cold.

Riddhima looked side-wards and met his chilly blue eyes. "Hi Shivaay!"

"What are.you.doing.here?" He spoke through gritted teeth looking around hoping Gauri or Omkara didn't come around.

"Tej uncle invited me. I am his ex, I should get to see who is he finally having the courage to make commitment to, shouldn't I? Nice arrangements by the way. But where's he? Don't I get to see how handsome he managed to look today?"

"Shut up!" he hissed taking a step closer to the woman.

"I didn't see the bride either. I saw her sister though. Step-sister." She added smiling, a smile that certainly didn't even have the vigor to reach her cheekbones forget the eyes.

His anger boiled at the mention of Anika's mention. "leave now, you'll save yourself from insult." he whisper yelled, not wanting to draw the attention of the guests.

"Let me at least meet his to-be-wife. Guess what even her sister wants me to meet her!"

"Get out now. I am not repeating it again."

"Oh-come-on Shiv--" she had barely began her statement when Shivaay grabbed her by her arm and dragged her aside, from their two women security in-charges grabbed her. "Throw her out. I don't want to see her even anywhere around this mansion." he barked his orders.

"Shivaay you can't" the woman glared at him shouting. 

"Oh you have no clue what I can. Stay away and you'll be happy. Dare to mess with Omkara's life again and you'll regret it for life. My warning is not hollow, I swear I will burn you career and turn your life into hell if I see you again." Snarling those words he marched back to his study. One message sent to Omkara and the other to Anika. He ran his hand through his hair. She shouldn't have!

Anika walked towards his study wondering what work he had. Her mind was still stuck at Ridhima's unexpected presence. Who called her? Omkara ? Anika was confused. She however had requested Riddhima to speak to Gauri once. Gauri wouldn't listen to Anika perhaps she'd give Riddhima a better ear.

She knocked on the slightly open door, and stepped in when she heard a 'Come in'.

"Lock the door." he commanded, still looking out of the window not turning to glance to even see who had announced arrival. Anika felt a shiver run down her spine. He seemed pissed. She could tell it by the coldness in his voice. But the trust she had developed over him, made her do exactly as she was told.
