"How did you get this file?" Tej again questioned swetlana diverting the fight between shivika. "it's a long story" swetlana dragged every word lazily, settling on couch. She explained how anika made things easy for her.

Few days ago I entered oberoi office, all thanks to our earlier relation I could easily enter into your cabin. When I was busy searching for locker key, anika entered cabin. I was about to make excuses until she placed the key in my hand.

"send me a copy of that file" anika warned me before moving out of cabin, "but --" my words trailed off when she said where the key should be placed indirectly to me as she talked to shivaay.

After getting file I reached home. I had second thoughts to send her a copy I was confused, whether to believer her or not. I asked a private investor to enquire about anika personally, then I got to know that she is daughter of harshavardan trivedi.

The man who lost his life just like my father because of you people oberois.

" I thought to trap you Tej but anika got a bigger brain than me she directory trapped the wall of your family" swetlana smirked she never thought playing with oberois will be this easy.

Anika closed eyes holding breath, she never wanted shivaay to think so low of her. Now he might be thinking she used him just to get a truth from elders. Things getting into light from her and from swetlana is completely different. Swetlana is doing nothing but rub salts on wounds before anika can have a chance to explain her side.

"swetlana...." tia cut anika words and pulled her to sit on couch. "anika we always thought you as a obstacle but never knew that you are also on our side"

"Tia...." anika tried to explain, her words stuck in throat by looks from om. "puttar what's happening" dadi talked in low voice.

Anika felt blank, she was unable to process the sudden happening. The looks from the brothers do much worse, taking a deep breath "dadi it's complicated, now you all are not in a situation to think my side story but let me say in simple way...... You remembered the fire accident in kalyani Mills exactly 24 years back?"

Dadi nodded still not getting what exactly is related to the fire incident "According to my estimation and research, it was not an accident. Your sons and daughter-in-laws only knew what happened there..... I don't know whether they are involved directly or not but they are hiding something"

"not just hiding anika..... They bloody involved which took many lives. But here they constructed the oberoi empire on ugly truths" swetlana lost her temper looking at the way anika handling things, this is something which led to her father dead. She and her family need to face horrible things while the oberoi-s had their best childhood.

"swetlana please... Let me talk" Anika tried to explain, understanding everyone's perspective it's difficult to make them understand without hurting others. "Anika di How can you cheat this family behind believing this woman's words.... Who tried to separate Tej uncle and jhanvi aunty. This family treated you as their world. How can you stoop so low... Chiii" gauri made a disgusting face. Sometimes she felt jealous seeing how family loved anika more than her. Both are in same positions in family yet everyone's heart is anika. Gauri always saw a elder sister in anika, knowing how anika held a dark secret to herself made her annoy.
