Anika pov:

Oh my gosh! I can't believe that I married today, officially I'm Mrs.  Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi from today. Sounds do beautiful, my name with my my husband's name the one whom I have fallen for, whom I love the most but does he love me? I was engrossed in my own thoughts when I heard the door click I knew it was Shivaay who entered the room. My heart beat increased rapidly as he took steps towards me.

Pov ends.

"Anika, I want to tell you something." Shivaay said and Anika giggled, pulling off her veil.

"Anika I want this new relation to start with trust because a married life is based on Trust, love, honest etc. I want to tell you something about my past, I know it will hurt you but the design is solely yours. If you want you can give this relation a chance or no but I wish that you would accept me after. I really don't won't to punish you by binding you into such a relation where their is no honesty." Shivaay started gazing into her eyes and a tear trickled down his cheek. Anika wiped off the tear, nodding negatively.

"Shivaay it's okay. Whatever it is, I'll not give up on this relation, it is our relation." Anika replied, side hugging him. Gathering all the courage, He took in a deep breath.

"Anika, When I was in my college days, I was a hot topic of the college, almost every girl dreamt of me as their boy friend. I want only handsome but I was the topper of the college which made me more popular. Days passed by and I eventually fell for my best friend, Tia. I would always find excuses to be with her, protecting her and one day I proposed her but suddenly she pulled out her phone and walked away in between my proposal. I thought she wasn't interested in me so I was about yo walk away when she rushed to me and pulled me into a hug, accepting my proposal. I was the happiest person but that time I didn't know that it's the biggest mistake of my life which completely shatters my life and leaves me behind with a broken heart.

And from that day, I snaked out of the classes for her, bunking them but she never gave a damn about me, though it hurt me I always ignored thinking that may be she was concentrating in her studies. One day, she called me and asked me money for her father's treatment and without any queries I started giving her money. I didn't even notice that I have given her lump some amount.

One day she came to me all crying and broken. I panicked and asked whether if everything was fine but she asked me to marry her then and there itself. Though I taken back at the sudden proposal, I agreed because of her pleas. We got married in a nearby temple and there she told that she needs 85 lakhs for the surgery. I immediately asked khanna to transfer the amount on her name.

He did as I instructed  and then we stepped out of the temple but the next moment a truck hit her. I'm rushed her to nearby hospital and then I got to know that she is no more. I couldn't digest all this, I was completely shattered, broken that I lost my love,  My life.

I did not return back to oberoi mansion, I was walking aimlessly on the road with a Garland in my neck. My friend, Parth saw me and  requested me to be with him. I did not want to stay with him,  but finally he took a promise which made me stay with him. It was an apartment a luxurious one.

One day he informed me that a couple has come right beside ours, I asked parth to inform my family members that I went out for a trip and I'll return back soon.

One day, I was fiddling with my phone in the outdoors and the Door of the couple's house was open and I saw a boy and girl talking to eachother, then they turned towards me and I was shocked. They were Tia and Dushyant, but what Tia doing there, I thought I was hallucinating but then they were really there.

I went to their house and knocked the door, when tia saw me she was shocked and she started sweating. I confronted them about the this and then she told me that she never loved me but she loved dushyant and they made a plan to trap me for money,  not for her father but for their luxurious and happy life. They we're successful in their mission. 

But then I asked her what was the need of marrying me in a temple and she told me that she did not except  me to give 85 lakhs just like that so she planned the marriage drama. My blood boiled, anger raged in me I wanted to destroy them for playing with my emotions. I went to Parth's house and told him everything, he asked me to cool down and not destroy their lives, leave about everything and stay normal. I did not wanted to see her face again and then I came back to Oberoi mansion turning myself into a rude, arrogant beast I lost my belief in love, I just hated that feel, it only gives pain and sorrows." Shivaay narrated his past.

Shivaays pov:

Finally I told her everything and I felt a burden off my shoulder. I gazed into her eyes, she had tears in her eyes which were glistening like rhinestones.

"I'm sorry Anika, I know you will not accept me now. It's all ur decision , I will be with you in what ever decision you take. I'm sorry for hidding all this..." I stopped when I felt a soft touch on my lips. Noticing it was her finger, I sighed. Anika gazed into my grey orbs.

"Don't tell me anything shivaay, now I don't care about your past.  I'm blessed to have you as my husband. Please leave about the past let's start a new life together. I promise you that i will make you belive in love, cause.. " She stopped in between. 

Gracing herself, She continued, "Cause  I LOVE YOU SHIVAAY, Yes I love you. the way you care for me, respect me, I have no words to describe about my love to you.  I'll not force you just take your own time but as I love you and I confessed it, from today you will see a new Anika, HER FATHER'S DEVIL, be ready to bear me shivaay."  She confessed, smirking at me.

Hearing to her confession I was shocked that means Om was right she loves me. I was such a duffer not to understand all this, She is such a beautiful soul I'm really lucky to have her in my life.

I pulled her into my embrace, actually this is were I belong too, her embrace is my home.

"I'm very very lucky to have you in my life Anika." I chided, cupping her cheeks.

"Aww" She exclaimed pouting at me and I felt a sudden urge to kiss her lips, they were so full and plummy.  

"So ready to start a happy married life, Mrs. Anika shivaay Singh oberoi?" I whispered in her ear, placing a soft kiss there and she shivered. 

Giggling, She inched closer to me, her breath fanning on my ear and I sighed, coding my eyes in pleasure.

"Yes Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi, Get ready to bear a devil." She wishpered back to me, kissing my jawline and I stiffened, this girl has a great effect on me.

Kissing her forehead, I smiled as that special person of her life strikes my mind and my wish came true, I'm that special person in her life.

Pov ends

Sprinting down the  bed, She pulled out a loose top and sweat pants from her the closet and walked into the washroom to freshen up while Shivaay changed into a t-shirt and sweatpants.
 
He frowned as he saw her licking up a pillow and blanket, moving towards the couch. Pulling her toward him, he locked her in his arms while her eyes widened at his act.

"Where are you going?" He asked ticking her soft locks behind her ear and She breath unevenly at proximity due to her euphoria.

"I'll sleep on the couch." She shuttered and he puts, picking her up in his arms.

"When we have decided that we would share a happy married life, we will behave as a married couple and a happily married couple will sleep together." Shivaay claimed, laying her down on the bed, slipping beside her under the comforter and she blushed, looking away.

As the clock strikes 1:00, Anika turned to his side in  her sleep and snuggled into his warmth and Shivaay culled her her, letting her rest head in his chest.

Shivaay smiled as he opened his eyes and found Anika, Sleeping peacefully, cocooned in to him. Kissing her forehead, he pulled her more into him, lulling himself to sleep in her warmth.
