Ian's POV

" Don't know how to come out of this now. It's totally the toughest time of my life." Vivan said and I sighed deeply.

" We are living in nightmare. What should I do now?! I totally am clueless." Sanam said. I kept quiet all the time.

I was really shocked about this. Though I hold back for her but she is not coming out of her shell. She is too much depressed. Her depression pulled her into the depth of darkness. I was totally frustrated now. I don't know how to bring her out of there.

" It will create a huge effect on her if she keeps herself locked in the room." Sanam said.

" It's better that she is recovering now. Hoping that she will recover fully soon." Yash said.

" Even after all these days why can't you find out who has done this thing? It was literally a made up accident that someone created." Sanam said and I sighed.

" We are working on that." Kabir said.

" I am suspicious of Arun. He can make it happen." Sanam said.

" Impossible. He can't reach the headquarter and make it happen like this." Vivan said.

" It can be someone that is your enemy, Vivan and you have a lot of enemies in India." Sanjay said.

" It can be Ian's rivals as well." Kabir said out of nowhere. I looked at him weirdly.

" I don't have any rivals here in India." I said to him.

" May be silent rivals." Kabir said.

" Silent rivals?" I asked him.

" Yeah. Like they act to be your friends but they actually aren't your friend." Kabir said.

" I have friends here and they are you guys only. Now you guys want me to hold you guys on the point?" I asked him. " Talk sense."

" I am talking sense only. Think about people around you. It must be someone who is very close to you." Kabir said.

" What about Khanna? They can take revenge on you. After all you have done things to them which has spoiled their family reputation." Yash said.

" They will not do something like this just to take revenge." Vivan said. "And they will not do this anymore. They are already clear about it and we have monitored their activities. They can't be involved."

" I know I shouldn't say that but does everyone in your family likes Divu truly, Ian?" Yash asked me.

" Why are you asking that?" I asked him.

" I don't know. I was just wondering. This type thing can't be done by someone like Arun or Khanna." He said.

" Alright whatever you want to say come to the point." Kabir said.

" I don't want to say anything. Forget about it. It was nothing but a mere thought. I threw it away. You too throw it away." Yash said.

" But there should be a reason for that." Sanam said.

" I am just stupid for thinking about that." He said. " I gotta go now. Talk to you guys later." He said before walking out of there.

" What's wrong with him now?" Kabir asked.

" Acting weird these days." Dhruv said.

They talked for awhile before leaving. Sanam and Vivan went out to get the reports of Divya that the psychiatrist asked for.

I went upstairs and found her sleeping on the couch. I checked her temperature. It was normal now. But the tears were very much visible on her cheeks. I wiped her tears and kissed on her forehead. She stirred a bit but didn't wake up. I picked her up and made her sleep on the bed. I pulled the duvet over her. And come out of the room. I asked her mother to take care of her until I come back home. I need to talk to Yash. I called Mr. Muller to join me and reached Yash's house. But to my surprise I found Vivan and Sanam already there. I sighed deeply.

" You already know why have we come here." I said to Yash and he sighed deeply.

" I don't know how to say that to you. I ...umm... Don't take me wrong." Yash said.

" I will not. Tell me what happened and why were you talking things like that?" I asked him. He sighed deeply.

" You remember when we went Florida for your wedding reception ceremony?" He asked me.

" Yeah, what happened then?" I asked him.

" That evening Marianne, Sanam and I went to the supermarket. Sanam might remember that." He said.

" Yeah, you were waiting for us outside. I do remember." Sanam said.

" Your aunt Annie-" he stopped and looked at me.

" Say that without any hesitation." I said to him.

" Ian, she doesn't like Divu from the start. She reached me that evening thinking I was Vivan. She at first offered me money to get Ian and Divu divorced. Then threatened me like if I don't take my sister away she will do something I will not like. I thought she was just saying that for nothing. But man, she was damn serious." He said.

" Why didn't you tell that to me before?" Vivan asked him.

" I thought she wasn't that serious. And it was a ceremony the next day. I didn't want to spoil it. I wanted to tell you the next day but as she didn't say anything else later I thought she was just kidding. Besides, she loves Ian a lot. I thought she is just joking." He said.

" How are you so sure it's her?" I asked him.

" Ian, you remember the day Divu's accident took place? I saw your aunt and her friend Mrs. Rhyder in the hospital. If they were here in Delhi and she loves you that much why didn't she met you? She was in the same hospital after the accident can be a coincidence but her been in the same floor and walking randomly around us can't be. If you don't trust me then I can show you the CCTV footage." He said and I looked at Mr. Muller.

" Sir, she asked me where is Mrs. Kingston admitted." He said.

" Why didn't you tell me?" I asked him

" Sir, I thought she will show up. But she didn't. I didn't want you stress out that time." He said and I sighed.

" Yash, why didn't you reveal these all these days?" Vivan asked him.

" Look, Divu wasn't doing well. I didn't want to make you guys more worried. But I would eventually have told you." He said and I sighed. I took my phone and called Aunt Debbie.

" Ian, everything ok? How is Divya?" She asked me picking up the call.

" Is aunt Annie in US now?" I asked her.

" Yeah. Why?" She asked me.

" You have to do something for me." I said.

" Anything, love." She said and I told her everything.

" Ian!!! What are you saying?!" She said.

" I will tell you everything later. Please, do this for me. Tell Olivia and Marianne to help you." I said and she sighed.

" Ok." She said and hung up.

What kind of ugly game is she playing with us!!!
