LONDON : AT the Skyscraper Building of OBEROI'S HEADQUARTERS -

Though it was already very late. But Shivaay was still present in his huge office. He was wearing a white silk shirt with a black waist coat and the black trousers. He was lighting the cigarette while his one hand was in his trousers pocket. He was watching the live Broadcast on the Big Screen with an ice cold look in which Annika was addressing the media. The same video was replaying again and again on the Screen for the last hour.

The more he watched the more he looked cold. He was deeply lost in his thoughts. Suddenly his Assistant John knocked the door and Shivaay came back from his inner thoughts.

'Come in ' .. He said and John entered. When John heard his Boss's ice cold voice he gulped with fear. He understood that his Boss mood was not good. When John looked at the tv Screen he was stunned to see Annika after three whole years. Now he understands what is happening and Why his Boss is in a gloomy mood.

He carefully walked to Shivaay's desk and informed him. Sir Dl group of industries are soon going to be bankrupt and They are selling their assets '' And the Auction of Dobriyal villa is going to be held tomorrow.

Good. Go and buy their 70 percent shares, " Shivaay ordered him. But Sir till yesterday you were interested in all the shares to take over their company, and all the properties ? John asked.

But now I am only interested in Seventy percent shares and all the properties of Dobriyals under my name except their Villa. Do you get that ? Shivaay said while looking Annika's face at the Screens. But ? " John excused.

When Shivaay heard this he cast a cold glance at John and asked. Are you not able to do your work properly Mr John ? Should I change My Assistant ? When John heard this he trembled. No he could not afford to lose his precious Job. He is not a fool. He replied obediently. Sure Sir. I will definitely do it. But are you sure about the villa that you don't want to buy it in your name ?

" Let it be. Now I am not interested in buying the villa under my name " said Shivaay " Ok sir " John replied and left the cabin. When he went out he sighed in relief. He wondered what was running through his Ruthless Boss's mind.

SHIVAAY'S POV :

So Miss Annika Dobriyal ..correction Annika Richards. Three years ago You left me and this country and vanished from my life without a trace. And after three whole years you appeared again. Now let's begin the game. This time I will set the scores equally.

Welcome back to London Sweetheart ! He thought and smirked.

............................

IN BANGKOK

Annika was ordering her Assistant Lisa on the phone. Lisa doesn't worry about the money. Spend it how much you want. But I want the maximum shares of Dl industries under my name. That company is very precious to me. Yes you have to buy that villa too. I want their every property under my name at any cost

ANNIKA'S POV :

Mr. Aryan kapoor..you , your so called fiance Tara And your father tricked me and my foster parents Just because of you they lost their respect and committed suicide. I lost them, I lost my family and all my properties Just because of you. Now You all will pay for your cruel deeds. That time I was too naive and innocent to understand your true colors. That's why all of you together easily took advantage of me. But now I am changed. This time I will not show mercy on you. I will cripple your pride and honor. Just wait and watch.

.........................

NEXT MORNING

Annika was sipping her coffee. When her Assistant Lisa called her and informed her that They couldn't buy the Dobriyal Villa. And they weren't able to get their other properties and the maximum shares of Dl industries. Because Someone else had already purchased the Villa and maximum shares of their company before us

When Annika heard this, she got Alert. Who is it? " She asked her while deep down in her heart she knew the answer.

Madam, Right now we have no information about it. But tomorrow. In the shareholders meeting of Real states they will announce the name of All the shareholders of Dl industries. It is confirmed that whoever bought the maximum shares is going to take over Dl industries tomorrow.

" Got it ! You don't worry. I will personally take care of this matter. Lisa you Just make my Jet ready and Prepare all the necessary things.I am going London tomorrow " Said Annika.

When Lisa heard this She couldn't believe that Her Boss is going to London. That's why she asked again to confirm it. " Madam Are you sure you are going to London to attend this meeting ? "

Annika thought for sometime. After Analyzing the Pros and cons of the situation , she answered without any emotions . Yes I am very Sure Lisa. I am going london. You make the arrangements Fast. Ok Madam " answered Lisa

ANNIKA'S POV :

Three years ago. When I lost everything. That time I never thought about returning there again. But now I have to go there to achieve everything back which I have lost once. Let the game begin

...................................

When Annika informed her family members about her decision. They were shocked. They know that Annika never wanted to go there because of Nicole's father. But when She informed them that She is going there for Dobriyals property and Business then they understood her intentions.

" Anu, Are you sure you want to go there personally ? " Krish asked her.

yes bro. I have to go there. Otherwise I will not get a single penny of Dobrials. You know I owed them..so this is my responsibility to take care of their Treasure. I promised my foster parents that one day I will get back their properties and everything from kapoors. Now this is the right time to fulfill my promise. I can't back off from my duties due to my personal reasons.

But... interrupted by Annika's father.

Krish let her go. I believe in my daughter and her ability. If she wants to go then I will not stop her. She is an Adult now and She is able to make her own decisions. And If She wants to purchase Dobriyals property then I will not stop her

If I & Mreenal are Annika's Biological parents then Mr & Mrs Dobriyals were also her parents. They kept her like their own daughter. They loved her dearly and fulfilled her all requirements. And We owed them.

Mreenal completely agreed with Raj's decision. She gave birth to Annika but Mrs. Dobrial raised her. If she is Annika's mom then Mrs. Dobrial is also Annika's mother. Annika has some duties towards her foster parents and Mreenal doesn't want to become a selfish mother by stopping her. That's why she agreed with her daughter's decision. Twenty four years ago they lost Annika. That time Annika was only a one year Old little child when Someone kidnapped her due to his enmity with Richard's family.

Annika's family searched Annika everywhere in Bangkok and other countries but couldn't find her. That time they lost all hope. That kidnapper wanted to kill Annika But Annika's foster parents saved her and adopted her legally. They raised her like their biological daughter. Even Annika was also unaware that She is not their real daughter. She got to know about her birth truth when her foster parents attempted suicide due to the kapoors evil deeds.

.................................

When Raj and Mreenal also supported Annika's decision, Krish didn't refuse. Krish is only one year older than Annika but He is very protective towards her and Nicole. When he got to know that Annika is his biological sister, he was the happiest one. He is very possessive of his sister and niece. He loved them a lot. Ok dad. If you all agree with her then I will not stop her. But I can't let her go alone there. I agree She is an adult now and able to make her own decisions but still she is my sister. And I have some responsibilities towards her, " said Krish.

Anu You can go to London. I am not stopping you. But you and Nicole will not go there alone. I have recently signed a new movie. My team, producer and director want to shoot that movie in london. Naira also wants to visit her parents house. So we are also coming there with you and Nicole, " Krish told her.

Ok Bro, You and Sister in law can come with me. I have no problem. She said and Hugged him. While he hugged her back.

Sneek peak of Annika's past life in London.

Annika's foster parents were Reputative and Rich people in the country. His Father was a Politician While her mother was a Business woman.

Aryan kapoor and Annika was in a long time relationship. While Tara was their Best friend. One day Annika got to know about the real face and true colors of Aryan's father and Aryan.

His father trapped Annika's father while He trapped Annika in his love. Her Best friend cheated on her. But it was too late. Because damage has Already done.
