The scars that were left on Anika's body due to Daksha's tight grip were still the same. Shivaay's heart ached When he saw those marks on her skin. Shivaay wanted to deal with Tia and Daksh right away but at this time Annika was his First priority because that drug already started to work on her body and with each passing second she was feeling hot and restless. She was now in a completely drug state of dottiness.

The driver drove the car off the road at 160 km/ hour, While Shivaay held Annika in the backseat. " Shivaa..y please save me " muttered Annika but due to the drug effect she couldn't see anything clear enough. Seeing her suffering Shivaay wanted to hug her in his arms to relieve her pain, but he couldn't. The only thing he could do was wait for the doctor so that they could check and treat her.

" Annika, look at me, you're Safe with me here.We will see the doctor soon and then you will be fine " Shivaay tried to keep her calm.

" I ..I. .feel terrible. Let me die, ''said Annika.She was boiling hot and each passing second was a torture for her. She felt so dizzy that she kept her head low. It was too much for her to take.

Gathering all the strength she tried to knock her head on the mirror of the window , but sensing what she was going to do Shivaay immediately put his hand on the window and to stop her called out her name loudly " Annika, what the hell do you think you're doing ? don't dare to hurt yourself again "

Luckily, She couldn't get hurt because her head slightly bumped against Shivaay's hand.

Soon they reached Shivaay's Mansion, the doctor was already present there with his team. Because Robert had already informed the doctor about Annika's condition on the call and asked him to reach Shivaay's mansion as soon as possible.

Shivaay took Annika in his arms and went straight to his room without stopping anywhere.

"Shivaay, I feel like I'm dying, " said Annika weakly , while bleeding out of her nose. Shivaay almost lost his calm. He hastily took out  his handkerchief and wiped the blood off her upper lip and nose.

Outraged, Shivaay asked the doctor " Why does Annika have a nosebleed ? "

Don't worry It's a Normal reaction.She had been injected with a certain drug and had not got any treatment for a while. So It was natural for her to have a nosebleed, " Doctor replied patiently and started following Shivaay.

Annika had been tortured for dozens of minutes and was covered with thousands of beads of sweat when they arrived at Shivaay's bedroom. Shivaay put her carefully on the bed and walked out of the room. So that the doctor can start the treatment of Annika.

The doctor needed to know what kind of drug she had taken before he could administer any treatment. So he needed to take some blood for a blood test. Annika was already suffering a painful torture, so when needle was injected in her vein she didn't feel any pain.

Outside the room Shivaay was asking John on the Phone" Where is Tia & Daksh ? " Mentioning them his eyes burned with rage. 

John informed him.." Boss Daksh has now regained consciousness. We have tied him with ropes and kept him at your penthouse. Robert and our men are keeping an eye on him. And Tia was about to leave the country when we caught her from the airport at the last moment. She is also in the same penthouse in a different room. I had arranged for some men to watch over her "

" They need to be kept there all night and don't forget to torture them for their acts. I will go see them tomorrow " Shivaay told John and hung up the phone.

Even though Annika hadn't had a proper examination yet, He knew what had happened to her. If he was there at that time, Annika wouldn't have suffered that much. But he was far away from her.

He was planning to stay there for a week, But thought that Anika was alone in London and there were many people who were a threat to her. And in his absence they may try to harm him. Thinking about this, he finished his work in two days and left for London.

He was on the flight when Anika was trying to call him.  His phone was off, that's why he couldn't pick it up.  When he came to London airport, he saw Anika's message as soon as he turned on his phone, In which it was written that she was going to have dinner with Tia this evening.

As soon as he got the message, he tried to call Anika but Anika did not pick up the phone.  When he got suspicious, he called Anika's bodyguard.  Who told him that Anika was having dinner with Tia at Canary Hotel. 

He wanted to follow Annika to the room inside the hotel but Anika stops him saying that she will be back soon and that he should wait for her outside. While The lady bodyguard still went inside after her. And he was waiting for them outside for the last hour but no one came outside

Hearing this, Shivaay immediately left for Canary Hotel along with his bodyguards without losing a moment. Going there he saw that Anika's male bodyguard was fighting with Daksh's men while the female bodyguard was lying unconscious outside the room. It was possible that Tia had fed her something during dinner so that she cannot protect Anika. 

Shivaay's other bodyguards catch Daksha's men while Robert goes inside with Shivaay to the room where Anika was with Daksha.  Annika collided with Shivaay as soon as the door of the room opened from outside.  While Daksha was lying on the ground as Annika broke the glass bottle on his head to save herself from him. Leaving Robert to deal with the situation, he leaves with Annika.

AFTER HALF AN HOUR 

The door of the room opened and the Doctor came out. Shivaay immediately walked over and asked, " How's she doing ? Is she feeling better ? 

I have given her an injection to clear the drug out of her body But it could not come out of her body completely because that drug was strong. It had spread completely in her body and it was too late. Her condition is more stable now than before but she may suffer a relapse at any time… In conclusion .. You still need to help her because only a man can cure her. Finishing his words,  the doctor left the Mansion with his team, leaving Shivaay alone there with Annika.

A few moments later, Shivaay went to his room to see Annika. She was looking at the ceiling blankly. Recalling what had happened to her a few hours earlier. She tightly gripped her clothes under the quilt. Although the drug was removed to some extent from her body She was still in pain.

Shivaay sat on her bedside and asked " Annika, How are you feeling now ? " 

I'm fine now, Thank you so much for saving me from Daksh " She said without looking at him

Not me, but your courage and will power saved you from Daksh. I must say, you are a strong girl.  Even in such a bad situation, instead of surrendering in front of him, you fought with him and made him unconscious by hitting a bottle on his head. Bravo Annika ! He praised her

" Well you can look at me, I won't eat you " Shivaay told her. " Yeah I know, You'll not.

Why will you ?  When you can get all the beautiful women in the whole world. Even International superstars and models, Why would you like to touch me ?  Annika said sarcastically in a low voice So that Shivaay could not hear but he still listened.

Are you feeling offended that Instead of helping you I called the doctor here ? He muttered softly.

" Why would I ? How can I think like that?  When I know you have no shortage of women. You are Shivaay Singh Oberoi, you can achieve whatever you want with a single gesture of your finger. And also you are going to get married soon. I am sure that girl will also be extraordinary like you, whom you will choose for yourself, " She said to him.

" Yes, It is true " he agreed with her which made Annika instantly jealous

" Just leave me alone " ! She muttered, sounding angry and carefully adjusted herself on the bed, until she was lying on her back.

She felt a hot stream of blood flowing in her body. She was in pain. But She had to keep her principles. She could not take advantage of him again and again when she knew very well that he was not interested in her

Shivaay smirked, arching questionable brows at her. He noticed the changing look on her face. He grabbed her hands which triggered Annika's desire even more. She closed her eyes and didn't want to get rid of his hands. After a while She finally came back to her senses, and got rid of Shivaay's hands.

" Please leave now. Go to the one you want to be with, the one who deserves you, who is as extraordinary as you. Go to the one you want to marry. Don't waste your time here, Go away. " She told him.

Her cheeks turned bright red due to the anger. She had learnt of her condition from the doctor. " Tia Kapoor, Daksh khurana ! I'll forever remember both of you as my sworn enemy "  Thought Annika.

Shivaay looked at her and asked, "You want me to leave? How can I leave you in this condition ?"

Annika was lying on the bed still feeling very uncomfortable. On one hand she needed him. She wanted him to help her to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling But on the other hand, she did not want him to take pity on her and help her and cheat on his future wife. She secretly vowed that if she would be tortured to death, She wouldn't ask Shivaay for help. She did not want to be the third wheel between two people.

" You can leave. You don't need to pity me. I do not want you to help me once again and keep your future wife in the dark " She muttered. Her breathing became rapid and her eyes filled with tears all of a sudden.She couldn't bear the strange feeling in her body, so she gently moaned. Shivaay almost lost his control. 

Don't you want to see that woman whom I want to Marry ? He asked huskily and went close to her.

" No ! I don't want to. You can marry whoever you like, " She replied. She didn't want to see that woman. It doesn't matter now. Shivaay approached her, held her face which was streaked with tears.

" Listen to me, " He demanded But she was not ready to listen to anything.

" Mr. Oberoi…just leave me alone I don't want to listen to you " She told him

" If you won't talk to me…how about I fix this my way " He murmured huskily and snuggled close to her. She was reluctant to push him away when he suddenly kissed her lips, not giving her a chance to scold him anymore.

" Stop it " She muttered angrily between the kisses but kissed him back surprisingly. She wouldn't resist him. Would she ? She played with his hair, running her fingers in them. She couldn't ignore Shivaay's advances even if she wanted to.

She was so innocent, so beautiful, pure and gorgeous that he couldn't help but ravish her mouth hungrily. What started softly slowly turned into something wild as he pressed her under him. The need to make love to her like never before kicked in. He drowned in her warmth. 

Tell me something sweetheart " Shivaay murmured as he rained kisses all over her body. His hands caressed her skin lovingly. 

" Take me " She whispered as she let the man caress her as he wanted. It was refreshing to have him this close. Her hand slid in his shirt and held his strong abs, which made Shivaay lower his head and kiss her. He cradled her securely in his arms as he thrust into her. Kissing her as she was the most precious thing to him. 

You're.. so innocent sweetheart ..so innocent " he murmured as he covered her in wet kisses.

" Shiv.." She called him and each time her voice came out all hoarse and low from the ecstasy building inside her. Her hands on his back digging her nails in his flesh as a cold shiver runs throughout her body

" Miss Dobriyal " He muttered softly as he cupped her face and she looked at him innocently without blinking her eyes. There were dim red and white lights in the room. The windows were wide open, through which the moon light was coming in, cold air was blowing causing them to shiver. She was in his embrace, so close to him, that their bodies were pressing against each other. Her eyes were restless as they were fixed on him, waiting for him to continue 

"As much as I like to do it illegally...More than this, I'd love to do it legally…Marry me.. Be My Wife " He said, making her heart stop for a while.

Did he propose to her?  What really ?  Does he really want to marry her or is she just having a dream?  It was difficult for her to believe. She parted her cold lips to say something but she couldn't as he pulled her for a passionate kiss.

" No excuses, I know you want to be tough and independent. But it's fine to be weak sometimes. let me fill your life with colors, let me make you happy and fill the void of your heart, let me spoil you for the rest of your life. I want you to be mine..Only and only mine… you completely become mine forever...for me to be all yours "  the Man said when he broke the kiss, shocking her beyond the reason. His voice was so fruity and inviting. It was too much for her that she couldn't reject him. Ever since she first saw him, he has cast such a spell on her that she cannot ignore him even if she wants to. 

What kind of marriage proposal was this ? But with Shivaay everything was shocking. He is the exception.  He does what others can't even imagine.

Anika puts her hand on her beating heart. All she could do was blink her eyes and swallow hard to keep herself from breaking into tears. Till a few days back she was all alone but suddenly he came into her life as her knight in shining armour and filled the void in her life. She just wants him close to her so close that no one else can ever reach.

She thought she was going to burst from pleasure when the man before her did all the things he could do to make her insane. He ravished her body and kissed every exposed skin at his disposal. By now she was delirious to the point where moans and moans erupted from her mouth. He kept on answering words of assurance whispering things while he kissed her softly. She forgot about the outside world because only Shivaay and she existed at that moment. 

He pulled out and thrust deeper and deeper until he was buried deep kissing the mouth of her womb. Annika whimpered as she stretched herself to accommodate him

The ecstasy took over her and her eyes rolled back. Both drenched in sweat, their hearts fluttering against their chests in unison. He didn't rush her but took his time to pleasure her. Destroying her completely. 

She was filled in and all she wanted was for Shivaay to take her again and again. Shivaay didn't stop ravishing her until she collapsed in his arms. He covered her mouth with his. Soothing her with his kisses. His breath fanned her cheek as she kissed him fiercely. She shivered in his arms. While He wrapped her in his arms securely and covered both of them with sheets.
