No proofread.

"Ain't you ashamed kissing this thing. " Throwing a disgusted glare at Khushi who was itching to pulled her frail white hair of her scalp. "You are Arnav Malik and here you are frolicking with some slut you found on the str..... "

Subhadra was cut off when a hand yanked her around and a slap landed on her cheek leaving the handprint of the culprit.

She looked up to find Dhami fuming in anger and throwing daggers at her.

"No one..... No one dares insult my granddaughter and gets away with it. " Dhami bellowed making Sudhadra flinch.

Dhami raised her hand to strike her again but Khushi rushed and stop her and Dhami stopped seeing Khushi shaking her head.

Arnav moved towards Dhami.

"Dhami maa..... Don't stain you hand by touching this filth. " Arnav said looking at Sudhadra who looked angrily at all of them.

"Sir..... Is there a problem? " The head of security of the mansion asked as he saw the commotion and rushed there.

Arnav glared at him and he shuddered.

"Sachin,how dare you left strangers in the house to cause trouble....... For the past four years you haven't made any mistake when it comes to the security of this house but today you messed up..... If not because you were good at your job I would have fired you this instant....... Now get this filth out of my sight and don't you dare let her near this house. " Arnav commanded and he nodded and signalled the others who dragged a screaming Dadi away.

Arnav turned to Khushi and cupped her face.

"Are you okay? "

Khushi nodded with a smile on her face.

"Khushi get inside the house I need to have a talk with Arnav. " Dhami commanded and Khushi looked worried and Dhami chuckled knowing what she was thinking. "Don't worry am not going to scold him. "

Khushi nodded and pecked Arnav's cheek and run into the house.

"I don't like the way something always happens when it's time to celebrate Khushi's achievements. " Dhami voiced out her concern immediately Khushi disappear from their view.

"Me neither. " Arnav said and run his hand through his head looking frustrated but then he smiled as something clicked in his mind.

"What? "

"A vacation...... Just the two of us. "

Dhami smiled at the idea and nodded in support.

"It will also be a good time to know each other more...... I trust you to keep her safe and happy but be warned if anything bad happens to her, I will be your worst enemy. " Dhami threatened and Arnav salute.

"Yes madam. "

Both burst out laughing and entered the house.

Outside RM, Dadi walked up to an SUV and entered it fuming in anger.

A man who was smoking by the car entered and sat in the driver's seat

"How did it go? " The man sitting in the drivers seat asked and Dadi glared at him.

"Arvind if it went well do you think I will be in this state..... That Arnav insulted me because of some whore and her grandmother slapped me and I was humiliated and dragged out like something commoners. " Dadi complained and Arvind chuckled making her more angry.

"She is not whore but Arnav's fiancee and the love of his life and the heiress to the Singhania group of companies and the woman who slapped you was Dhami Singhania. " Arvind revealed shocking Dadi who has heard of the powerful family.

"So you knew all this and sent me into the lions den...... Why are you doing this Arvind?...... It was difficult to fake you death and if they found out you were alive, Arnav will personally kill you....... Please son, leave this country for good...... I don't know what you are planning but what ever it is, please forget. " Dadi begged and Arvind glared at her.

"I want Arnav's wealth and his woman and I will get it. " Arvind confessed and Dadi looked at him shocked as the drove off.

Back at the mansion, Sachin's received a message on his phone and forwarded it to another number.

He then call the number.

"Find out who that woman and the man who entered the car with her are..... I smell trouble from them. "

He cut the call and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Back in the mansion, Lavanya entered the mansion only to be stopped by some of her colleagues and they all glared at her clearly not pleased to see her and she looked at them and smiled nervously.

"What are you doing here Lavanya? " One of them questioned clearly not pleased by her presence.

"I'm here to see Anjali. " Lavanya replied with attitude and they all scoffed.

"Let me guess you are here to see Anjali to help you get ASR....... Sorry to burst your bubble but she is no longer relevant in ASR's life...... I heard she was kicked out and now lives on the other side of town. " Mania said with a smirk on her face seeing Lavanya's shocked expression.

"Gone were the days when she was always the center of attention...... Now she is no body and did you see the scowl on ASR's face when she arrived with her husband..... It prove that she holds no significance in ASR'S life...... To late Lavanya. "

They all laughed and Lavanya walked out of there in anger and into the garden.

"Aman wait. "

Lavanya hid behind the tall thruja hearing this and peeked behind the bush to find Aman and Aditya Singhania.

"What are these to up to? " Lavanya thought looking at them.

"How long are you doing to punish your mother and I? " Aditya asked almost on the verge of tears.

Lavanya gasped in shock at his words.

"OMG..... Aman's mother and Mr Singhania are having an affair and from the looks of it, Aman is against it...... Interesting. " Lavanya smirked and continued watching them.

"I have warned you to stay away from me but you refuse to listen, so here is my answer...... I will never acknowledge you as my biological father...... You and my mother your beloved ex wife played with my life and you expect me to let go of all the pain and pretend...... No Mr Singhania, I will never forgive you or her for punishing me because you both chose your egos over me...... Khushi was born with a golden heart but I wasn't so don't expect me to accept you..... Look at you..... It's been a few weeks since I discovered the truth and you and her are looking so hurt because I am rejecting you, then imagine all the years a lived a lie....... Don't provoke to take drastic measures. "

Aman walked away leaving a devastated Aditya behind and he walked sadly towards the parking lot of RM.

Lavanya emerged from behind the thruja in shock.

"Aman is the son of Aditya Singhania and therefore the heiress of the Singhania fortune...... Well well Lavanya...... Your wish of living a wealthy life is not lost...... Trap Aman and you will forever be by ASR'S side....... Poor Aman, now you will be my ticket to be close to ASR and you are right about one thing and that's Khushi..... She will also help me get closer to you. " Lavanya said with a sinister smile on her lips.

The Next Day.
Outskirts of Delhi.

Payal arrived at the entrance to a slum and everyone turned looking at because her outfits didn't match the environment.

She asked for directions and walked down the path she was directed to and she entered a compound house ignoring the curious stares from the neighbors and headed straight to the door of one of the houses.

She knocked on it and it was opened revealing Garima who had scowl on her face.

"So you finally decided that I exist. " Garima exclaimed in anger and disappointment and Payal looked down ashamed.

She entered the house and Payal followed and she was shocked seeing the interior of the house.

Holes in the roof, chairs, windows and dirt everywhere.

They have been through worse but this was disgusting.

She looked at her mother who sat on the torn couch glaring at her.

"This is what your so called father and aunt has left me...... She didn't even allow me to take anyone of my clothes and of had to sell my jewelry to survive but I had hope that my daughter will still visit me and get me a better place to stay but she was enjoying in her mansion. "

"Am so sorry Amma..... I had no other choice than to stay away from you for a while or else my marriage will break. " Payal cried out and Garima was stunned hearing her confession.

She stood up and made Payal sit on the couch and cupped her face.

"Tell me everything. " Garima demanded.

Payal revealed everything to her from her fights with Akash, Anjali's revelation to Khushi's success.

"I don't exist in that family Amma...... No one loves me and all the do is praise Khushi....... Since yesterday Akash has become more cold to me and has started sleeping in the walk in closet..... Am scared Amma,  scared my marriage is over and all because of Khushi..... Everyone thinks you are a monster for cheating on babuji but I understand you..... You just wanted a better life and they are crucifying you for it..... I hate Khushi and I wish she will just drop dead. " Payal cried out and Garima hugged her and consoled her.

"Don't worry my dear...... We will find a way to make her pay. " Garima exclaimed in anger and Payal broke the hug.

"But how Amma, she is protected by the most powerful people..... From Arnav to the Singhanias, Aman and Akash and she has the support of everyone. " Payal retorted and Garima sighed.

"An opportunity will definitely come for us." garima said and Payal sighed.

"Let's get you out of this pig sty. " Payal said and stood up and walked out of the slum with her mother and into the car waiting for her.

She was totally oblivious of another car tailing them.

"Hello boss..... She come to meet her mother and they are now heading to the mainlands."

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

"Okay boss..... I will follow her and call you back later for an update. "

ARD.

Akash's office.

Akash was staring at his ring on his finger and regret was oozing out of him for marrying Payal.

He now wished he had listened to his mother and but he thought Khushi's upbringing sheds a good light of Payal's character since they were brought by together and by a gentle soul like Shashi but he was wrong.

He knew Payal was lying when she said she was going to visit Shashi so he had one of Sachin's men follow her and his hunch wasn't wrong when he spoke to him a few seconds ago.

This and Aman's revelation also made his will to divorce Payal even more stronger.

Flashback.

Aman and Akash walked into Arnav's study and closed the door behind them to prevent any form of interruption.

"Aman, Spit it out. " Akash demanded.

"Khushi wasn't treated good by the Gupta women and become of that Shashi always got into fights with them and as Khushi grew older she realised this and begged Shashi not to defend her...... Buaji and Garima threw tantrums when Shashi wanted Khushi to go to school because they said the money should be used for Payal who unfortunately didn't do good in school ...... Shashi had to secretly make Khushi go to school by pretending she was helping him at the sweet shop. "

"Wait how is that possible..... Payal told me her mother and aunt together with Shashi were the ones helping at the shop. " Akash revealed and Aman scoffed.

"And you believed her...... None of those three women have ever worked..... It has always been Shashi and Khushi and when he fell ill it was Khushi who was doing all the earnings...... Shashi hid Khushi's education until an alliance came for Payal and the man's sister happen to be a classmate of Khushi before she graduated from a design college in Lucknow and she revealed it..... They were shocked when they found out Khushi was a graduate and to them it was an insult and to top it all off, the man wanted Khushi instead of Payal but she rejected him...... It ended up happening for a second time and she blackmailed Khushi to keep her education a secret ...... She knew Shashi wouldn't have allowed it that's why she blackmailed Khushi to keep quiet. "

Akash was stunned by the revelations and cruelty of the Gupta women but then something hit him and he looked at Aman.

"Wait you said she...... Please don't tell me the one who blackmailed Khushi was Payal. "

Aman's silence was all the answer he need and he slammed into the chair behind him.

Flashback ends.

Akash then made a call to Mr Roy and Mr Roy was shocked hearing the request of Akash.

To be continued.
