Annika had sweat beads all over her face but luckily since her mobile phone was in her hand she had started the torch and was moving out of the room to call out for a servant. Suddenly she felt a shadow behind her and  she screamed asking who it was but there was no response. She knew there was some one around. She kept calling for servants or security but no one was responding. She was scared and the only one person who came to her mind was Shivaay. She tried to dial him but his phone was not reachable.

On the other side Shivaay had just left from office to go towards Malhotra house for the ceremony, suddenly he felt a fear gripping his heart he didn't know what it was but it was making him very uneasy. He halted the car with a jerk to try and call Om but his battery was dead. He shrugged off his thoughts thinking it's nothing and took the turn towards Malhotra House.

Annika was tying to find her ground and go towards the switch board to check what was wrong. She was trying to compose herself but all in vain. She kept trying Shivaay phone but it was unreachable. Suddenly she felt someone whispering her name , " Annika". She turned around  but there was no one. Annika started running down the stairs when she tripped over the last stairs falling down brusing her head and twisting her leg and at the same time she felt someone brush their hands across her arms pulling her. She somehow jerked the person  trying to get up. With great difficulty she got up only to be pulled backwards by her waist. Annika wriggled in his arms when he dangerously whispered in her ears, " you are mine and today I want this body to be mine". Annika was scared seeing the shadowy figure looming over her like she was his prey. With all the strength left in her body Annika pushed the figure and ran looking backwards when she bumped into someone again fear gripped her heart and she looked up again to see a pair of blue eyes staring back at her. She hugged him so tight whispering , "Shivaay".

Shivaay proceeded towards Malhotra house but couldn't shake the churning feeling that set into his stomach. There was something that wasn't right and he just had to check it out and he had turned back to Oberoi Mansion. When he stopped his car he didn't know why he came home but since he was here he thought he would just freshen up and then go but then someone one bumped into him and the site made his breath hitch scarring him for the second time in his life.

" Annika, kya hua hai, talk to me kya hua hai please Dekho meri Taraf, kya hua, why are you so scared", asked Shivaay caressing her hair rubbing her back but all that Annika did was sob clinging onto him.

He tried to push her body  away so he could see her but she didn't budge giving up he just hugged her. After a few minutes the lights came back on and Annika calmed down. Shivaay knew that Annika was scared of darkness but what he saw today wasn't her being scared of darkness but of something else. He again tried to ask her cupping her face making her look at him. " what has happened Annika?" She didn't respond but looked down and before Shivaay could say further she said, " Mr Oberoi, am sorry please but can I come with you to the Malhotra house, I will sit out, I won't let anyone see me I will sit with the driver I promise.. but please let me come I don't want to stay alone here" and her tears trickled down.

Pulling her close Shivaay places his finger on her lips and then wiped her  tears. He took her to her room and made her sit on the bed and looked at her taking her hands in his asked her what happened. Annika was reluctant but then narrated the whole incident. Shivaay fisted his hand but as she continued his hands and legs turned cold thinking what would have happened if he wouldn't come home. He looked towards Annika who was still crying. He made her lie down on the bed and brought the first aid box. He cleaned her wound and gave her some water to drink. He asked her to rest but she insisted that they go for the function after all it was Priyanka first function and she didn't want him to miss it.

He kept refusing but finally gave in on one condition that she also come with him into the house. She was surprised cause in the morning she heard him say something else she tried refuting but he didn't budge. She changed and they left for the function.

The other person had watched all this closely and was burning in anger. His plan had failed and he wasn't happy. He had to do something else and soon. He couldn't stand the closeness.

Next day morning Shivaay had asked to check the CCTV footage of the mansion and what he found shocked him he couldn't believe his eyes.. he was angry, ready to blast like a volcano , he couldn't digest the fact that he was deceived. He had to teach them a lesson to not mess with Shivaay and god he would do that and how....
