Anika came downstairs to see that the breakfast was already laid out on the table. Though she did not like the sight of it. It was all healthy food full of vegetables that she despised.

Shivaay I am not going to have..

Shivaay cut her before she could complete the sentence. You are going to have this for breakfast only. Brocolli is good for health and look I have even prepared a kale smoothie.

Eww..I will not have that.

Sit your ass down Anika or I'll get the cane.

That's not fair said Anika pouting.

I don't care..you have to follow my rules okay. Now sit down..We have a long day ahead. Shivaay was in ultra dom mode today. He was really stressed out at work and spending time with Anika was the only way he could vent out his frustration. He felt as if he had no control over his business anymore but over Anika he could exercise complete control and that was enough for him for at least now.

Did you have a bad day at work?

Yes I did. We lost the Japanese deal. Nothing for you to worry about.

Okay replied Anika playing with her food.

That's enough Anika..eat or I'll be forced to come there.

Fine I'll eat geez..why are you so angry today.

I am not... i am just concerned about you.. your diet is really bad..you eat so much junk food Anika.

You make me exercise don't you.

You barely move your ass and workout for like 20 minutes ...anyway having a balanced diet is important so for next few days you'll be eating a whole lot of what you are eating now darling. Is that clear?

Yes .

Yes what?

Yes sir.

Good girl. Now I was thinking of taking you out for shopping today.

What's the point of going out if you won't let me eat what i want whined Anika.

That's enough. We'll be having lunch at a good restaurant where there'll be plenty of healthy options.

Yay me said Anika sarcastically.

Your sarcasm can result in your backside turning red if you don't stop baby said Shivaay.

I thought this was supposed to be our vacation but instead you are being like this. If work is going to keep you, preoccupied then maybe I should ho back to Oberoi Mansion or I could go visit Chanda. It's been quite some time since I last saw her.

Don't be silly. We'll be fine. I have a fun day planned for us. True to his word, Shivaay took Anika to the mall to buy her some new clothes and after having lunch they both returned.

I hope you enjoyed today said Shivaay as he slid in bed.

It was alright.

Don't you like the clothes we bought?

No they are great.

Why are you being like this Anika?

You didn't let me eat anything I wanted. I was in mood for Chinese.

You get sick everytime you eat out. You know that. Tell you what, I'll make you whatever you want tomoorow for dinner but you'll have to eat healthy food the rest of the day.

Or you could stop being so controlling.

I really don't appreciate this attitude Anika.

And I don't appreciate your coldness. I though things were okay between us. You were being so sweet yesterday. I told you everything that you wanted to know. What else can I do?

My concern for you has nothing to do with that. Besides we agreed upon a bdsm relationship didn't we Anika?

That agreement is no longer valid shivaay. I am back in Oberoi Mansion as your wife. We can't have that sort of relationship anymore.

Yes we can. As a couple, we need privacy and for that we have this farmhouse.

But I don't want to continue our previous arrangement. You are being too controlling and I think it's hitting our relationship. We need to reevaluate things.

Don't over complicate things Anika.

What followed was course of arguments between the couple. They had rarely had a fight that bad in the past. All their past mistakes were discussed- Daksh, Tia, Shivaay's obsession with Lineage and Anika'dultimate decision to leave Shivaay.

I can't believe that you actually tried to prevent from getting hired after our divorce.

What else was I supposed to do? You weren't going to come back any other way. Why are we fighting over things that have happened in the past?

Because clearly everything is not okay,

Let's just take some time time off and talk about it later suggested Anika.

Later that night, Anika found herself  sitting by the swimming.

I am sorry about the health kick good thing, i just get sad when I think about how you had no one to take care of you when you were a child. I just want to take care of you. I'll stop if you don't like it said Shivaay as he sat beside Anika.

Shivaay, I know where you are coming from but I do need some space.

Anika, we just got back together as husband and wife in front of the world. It'll take some time to figure things out.

I know. I have an offer to plan a wedding in Delhi. I want to go. I think distance will do us some good.

Anika, you are overreacting.

No, I'm not. If you love me, you'll understand.
