Author's POV

"It's all your fault, Anjali. Your over-smartness made us fall into this mess, "Saran yelled at his daughter-in-law.

"Stop blaming my daughter. What was your useless son doing all this while?"Supriya(Anjali's mom) shouted back at Saran.

"Harsh is not responsible for the chaos created by your daughter," Devika defended her son.

"Will you all stop blaming each other and think of a way to get out of this problem?" Rajeev Menon said to both the families assembled in the conference room.

"Rajeev...I trusted you with my company's decision-making, and you waywardly handed it over to this girl...And see what happened...The Varma group has bought most of our shares and is about to take over the company today, "Saran sneered at his brother-in-law.

"Why are you blaming me, Saran? You were the one who said your daughter-in-law is capable of handling both companies. And I am done being your slave. I have my own company to take care of," he scoffed.

"Of course...your own company...which you built with my hard-earned money," Saran gritted his teeth.

"Your hard-earned money?What a joke? You don't even know how to run a business on your own. Nandhini established your business and is still running because of the strong basement she built. And if I have developed my business using your money, then it's my intelligence, "Rajeev taunted Saran.

"Brother ...Don't fight with Saran...Let's resolve the current problem without any ego, "Devika begged her brother.

"You all have no right to blame Anjali. You all cheated us by saying that everything belongs to Harsh. That's the reason we made her marry Harsh, "Raghav(Anjali's father) huffed in annoyance.

"And we also know how you plotted to marry her to Yadhu because of her faulty horoscope. Maybe all this is happening because of this girl," Devika taunted back.

Harsh was silent hearing the accusations, but Anjali was burning in rage.

Today was the day The Varma group was finally taking over both Saran and RK groups. They were all asked to assemble in the conference room for an urgent meeting by Varma group owner Mr.Dev Pratap Varma. As they were throwing accusations at each other door opened, and Mr.Krishna Ram walked in, followed by Yadhu, who looked cold and distant.

"Dad, Why is he here? "Saran asked, looking at Yadhu while both of them took their seats opposite them.

"Why would he not be here? The owner's presence is compulsory for this meeting," Krishna Ram jeered at Saran.

Saran just stared at Yadhu after being silenced by his father. Soon his private secretary came in and announced the arrival of Dev Pratap Varma as he walked in like a King who owned the place.

"Hello Mr.Krishna Ram,' Dev Pratap Varma greeted him warmly and looked at Yadhu affectionately.

"Hello, Mr.Varma, Glad to see you here," Krishna Ram greeted back.

"How are you, son? "Dev asked Yadhu while he mumbled the answer indistinctly.

The others present there were amazed by the courteous behavior of such an influential businessman towards Yadhu and Krishna Ram.

'So... gentleman... Before we start, I would like to introduce someone important," Dev announced as the others looked on.

"Mr.Varma...You have tricked us and bought our shares without our knowledge, "Anjali screamed at him.

"And what were you doing while I was buying your shares?... Daydreaming?... "Dev mocked without losing his composure.

"And what do you mean by your company? As far as I know, this company belongs to Yadhunandhan, and you have been misusing his company shares without his consent or knowledge. If it were me in his place, I would have filed a complaint against you all for deception," he added calmly.

"Are you accusing us? Yadhunandhan here has no say in anything related to the company. It is still in my ex-wife's name. And I can still claim in a court of my ownership since it belongs to me as well," Saran said.

"Hahaha...Won't the court procedure take a very long time to prove your ownership?" a sound echoed inside the room, and everyone turned to see the owner of the voice.

Everyone except Dev, Yadhu, and Krishna Ram was shocked to see Kanika standing at the door with a glorious smirk on her face. Arjun and Shreya were also standing behind Kanika.Yadhu looked at Kanika passionately as he was seeing her after almost two weeks. Her baby bump was quite visible, and the injury on her head was almost healed. Yadhu wanted to wrap her in his arms protectively, and he nearly stood up to do the same. But he stopped himself remembering her words to stay away from her and their baby. He looked away as his heart clenched in pain seeing his wife, whose beauty was magnified by the pregnancy glow.

"What the hell are you doing here? "Anjali growled at her, but Kanika ignored her grandly as she walked in, followed by Arjun and Shreya.

"You?... How dare you ignore me?" Anjali was hell-bent on provoking Kanika.

"I'm not answerable to you," Kanika snapped in irritation.

"Excuse me...You have to answer me...nobody invited you here. If you are here because you think that you are Yadhu's wife ...then know that your marriage is just void...you are nobody to Yadhu and that thing inside you is nothing but a bastard, "Anjali spat her venom, but before she knew it, she found herself on the floor with her left cheek stinging in pain.

"You asked for it, darling," Kanika said, hovering over her.

"How dare you hit my child?" Raghav asked in rage.

"Enough of your drama," Dev Varma roared, silencing everyone as Anjali got up from the ground.

"Meet the real owner of the Varma group, Kanika Nanda Varma, my only daughter. She will be handling my business from now on," he introduced Kani to everyone, and their eyes widened in shock. Arjun, Shreya, Yadhu, and Krishna Ram had a small smile on their face as they watched the evil clan's reaction.

"And Mrs.Anjali Harsh...What did you say by I'm not legally married to Dr.Yadhunandhan?For your information, our marriage was lawfully registered in the Munnar town council. If you are still unconvinced, I can send you a copy of our marriage certificate if that gives you any satisfaction," Kanika teased Anjali.

"And next time you dare call our child a bastard, I will literally burn you alive...Trust me, I'm not threatening you. I'm all action when it comes to my loved ones," Kanika gave a wicked grin to Anjali, who fearfully gulped in return.

Yadhu looked at Kani in astonishment. He never expected his naive innocent wife to be this strong and bold. But sadly, he missed her old version, who always clung to him. This new Kanika never once looked at him from the moment she entered the room, but he was happy hearing her acknowledge him and their child as her own.

"One more thing...since this company belongs to my husband, I have equal rights to it. So Anjali,... feed this into your pea-sized brain that this property, as well as that property, belong to me," Kanika growled, pointing towards both the documents in her hand and Yadhu, who was looking at her bewilderment.

"Next time I see that you are ogling my husband, I will pluck your eyes out of your sockets and throw them to the street dogs," Kanika roared, frightening Anjali to the core.

"Do you have any problem with me claiming your company as mine, honey?" Kanika asked sweetly to a puzzled Yadhu.

"N-No..." he stuttered.

"See...my sweet hubby has no difficulty in giving me his property. So that resolves everything. Except for my hubby, Arjun, Shreya,grandpy, and my dad, all of you can please show yourself out, "Kanika pointed towards the door.

"Mrs.Kanika...You can't just throw us out like...we all have shares in the company. Moreover, we can move legally and get a stay order on Yadhu's claim to the property. The property is in Nandhini's name, so Saran has equal rights on it, "Rajeev Menon spoke for the first time expressing his displeasure.

"Aah...Mr.Menon.How did I forget about you? Where are my manners? I am forgetful these days. Poor pregnant me," she said with fake distress.

"Actually, I have a special surprise for you. Not just you ...all of you," Kanika smirked. Yadhu's face contorted as he heard Kanika's words while others looked at her in confusion.

"Why are you deviating from the topic? Whatever I said is true. Yadhu can't acquire this company completely," he said with irritation.

"Are you acting stupid, or are you for real stupid?"Kanika mocked.

"Mrs.Kanika..." he started, but Kani cut him off harshly.

"What sort of a businessman are you who doesn't even keep records of the company he is interested in, "she remarked.

"Don't you know that Mrs.Nandhini has transferred the property entirely in Yadhunandhan's name," Kanika chuckled.

"Impossible...How can a dead person transfer the property to someone's name? His mom is dead," Saran shouted bitterly.

"You are still in delusion, Mr.Saran Krishna. I'm very much alive," Nandhini's sound echoed in the room as she stood there with a victorious smirk while they looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.

"Meet my sister and the pillar of the Varma Group...Mrs.Priya Nandhini Varma", Dev introduced her to them as they all stood frozen gawking at her.

"Not just papa's sister, Also my sweet mother-in-law," Kanika chuckled, winking at Priya. Yadhu fisted his hands in anger, and he looked away as an unknown feeling of pain and betrayal engulfed him seeing his mother for the first time.

Priya understood her son's pain, and she knew that she was the reason for his condition. She felt guilty but soon masked her face making sure it was devoid of any emotions.

"Missed me?" she grunted at Saran, who was looking at her in disbelief.
