As the sun rays kissed Anika's skin, She frowned snuggling into the person beside her but she couldn't feel the sufficient, protective warmth seeping through the other person.

Squirming in her, she opened her droopy eyes, slowly. A frown appeared across her face when she saw Gauri sleeping beside her.

"Baggad Billa!" She cursed him, in the early morning itself. Puling off the duvet, she got down the bed and walked into the washroom for her morning chores.

In Oberoi mansion, Shivaay tossed on the bed as he couldn't sleep. He was missing her badly, her warmth, their snuggles, her tenderness everything.  Smacking himself, he sat up straight on the bed.

He felt incomplete without her as if a piece of him is missing.

"Damn you, Shivaay, Why didn't you pick up her calls now rot. Sorry babe, I know you're angry and I'll blame myself for it. It's all because of me, please." He mumbled and heaved a breath.

Here, Without his presence, her day didn't start on a good note. Huffing in exasperation, She pouted.

"Damn you, Shivaay. This is all because of you, because of you, I can't even have a peaceful sleep alone to myself. I hate the fact, I'm missing you even after it was you, who ignored me." She pep talked, sighing in frustration.

Dooming into the kitchen, She gauged that no servant is around. How can they even be when it's just 6:00 in the morning.

Grabbing the sauce pan, She chopped the vegetables to prepare his favourite Pesto Pasta. Sauteing the vegetables, She added some cream divulging her self into cooking.

Jhanvi eyes popped out of her socket.  Definitely, shock would be an understatement for her. Her daughter who was supposed to be waking up at 10:00 in the morning was cooking in the kitchen.

Rushing towards her room, Jhanvi shook Tej frantically who was having a sound full sleep and with a jerk Tej sat up calming down his increased heart beat.

"What is it Jhanvi?" Tej asked panicking for a moment. Grabbing hand, Jhanvi dragged him towards the Kitchen, showing him the sight.

"What the Hell?" Tej screamed at sight of Princess working in the kitchen and Jhanvi clasped her hand to his mouth, smacking his shoulder.

"Why are you shouting?" Jhanvi asked, whispering, glaring at him.

"Why is my is my daughter working? Where did all the servants die?" Tej asked angrily and Jhanvi rolled her eyes at his overprotective fatherly nature

"It's just 6:00 in the morning, honey." Jhanvi reveled in not so sweet voice, pointing towards the clock. Tej's jaw dropped and he gazed at Anika who was cooking, smiling to herself. Little did he know it's his son-in-law's magic.

"Anika." Tej called out, entering into the kitchen. Anika smiled, wishing him a good morning.

"Princess, Why are you cooking? There are many servants here." He asked petting her hair, Anika gave a tight smile and shrugged off concentrating on cooking.

Having her breakfast, She bid bye to her parents and left to the office confusing Tejvi.

"Ma'am, At this time?" Rhea thought as Her boss entered the office at morning at 8:00. Dumping her bag on the nearby sofa, Anika slumped down on the chair.

A smile crept on her lips as her eyes fell on the photo frame placed on the desk. It's was their photo, captured in their paris trip. Pressing her lips on it, she clutched it to her chest reminiscing their moments.

Shivaay's car halted at Anika's office and stepped down with his famous attitude, drawing attention from the female staff.

Walking into the reception, He tapped the desk. The receptionist smiled sweetly as she knew, This man standing here is her Ma'am's husband.

"Ma'am is in the cabin, Sir." She informed, surprising him. Scraping his forehead with his index finger, he nodded in acknowledgment.

Shivaay reciprocated the smile and walked to Anika's cabin coz he didn't need any permission or appointment to meet her, His wife ordered the staff so and this was an advantage for him.

Knocking the cabin, He heard her permitting him inside. Grinning with a naughty smirk, he entered into her cabin.

"Good morning, please sit down" She uttered without glancing up. Shivaay smiled and walked towards her chair, leaning closer to her.

She immediately recognised the breath, Man, he is here! Sighing, she turned towards him and he immediately pecked her lips.

"Good morning, babe!" He wished, sitting down on the couch. Ignoring his presence, Anika acted as if nothing happened though the butterflies in her stomach where doing summersaults.

Hiding the Euphoria, She maintained a poker face. Rhea knocked the door, grabbing their attention.

"Come in." Anika permitted, Grossing herself in some work. Rhea entered and noticed, Shivaay sitting there.

"Good morning, Sir." She wished him, sweetly annoying Anika. Shivaay wished her back while Anika shot a glare at him scaring him.

"Ma'am, this is Taneja's event file and here is Malhotra's pay details." Rhea informed and left the cabin, giving privacy to the couple.

Shivaay smiled at his stubborn wife and walked to her, standing right behind her. She shuttered and tightened the grip around her pen, He smiled at effect he created on her.

"I'm sorry, babe." He whispered, brushing her hair to aside revealing her slender neck which urged him to mark her again.

Goosebumps evoked on her skin at his husky voice, she felt weak and griped the table for her support. Pressing his lips on her neck, He said a sorry against her skin as his breath caressed her skin.

She stood up only to be back hugged by him, He spooned her in his arms, kissing her cheek.

"You know right, your silence affects me a lot. I'm sorry and I would never repeat it." He uttered, tightening his grip around her.

"Exactly! Your silence and ignorance hurts me too, Shivaay!" She stated angrily, shoving him away.
