Submitting to his will leading her to Akshita.She climbed down from his glass cabin situated at the extended top of office. He can watch out anyone from there but no one can watch him. She realises this when she looked upwards. She failed to see through glasses .

"Control freak " she muttered and went away. Ranbir singh is guiding her with an arm length distance. They crossed the office arena where hundred employees were working in their respective cubicles. At the end of twenty desk there is a small cabin for team leader . They watch her and starts murmuring.

Nothing matter except shona her inner voice popped up. Whenever she is nervous about something her inner voice always appeared to guide her. She is like her best friend.

"This way ma'am "Ranbir said while approaching to lift. She didn't realised when she arrived in hallway. His hospitality scared her. In the history of their relationship he never tried to make her feel valuable. He makes sure that everyone treat her like trash. This sudden change scared her.

Is he planning to kill me? First thought came in her mind by watching basement sign on the lift indicator.Her palms were sweating. They reached to the basement. She took deep breaths to calm her hyperactive nerves. After passing the hallway which has abstract painting hanging on the leftside of wall. Other side is left without decorative thing. There is a door at the end of hallway. At the side of it there is a plant growing in brass container. Porter opened the door and sight in front oozes luxury. Its a small conference hall. At left side big led screen is hanging at one side of the wall, opposite to it there is big oval shaped table for ten. At farmost side of it billird table is placed. At her right a small bar is setup having different kind of drinks. There is a door near bar and she took steps towards it. She twist the door knob and there she is sleeping peacefully on the bed. She checked her immediately and relaxed after finding her safe. She took her in her arms.Today she understands the meaning of peace truly. Nothing can be like this, watching your daughter sleeping peacefully without any harm.Ranbir asked to help her in carrying Akshita but she denied politely. She called a cab and in the whole journey flashes of the past reminded her that unfortunate mating with him.

Why he is doing all this? this question is bothering her.She failed to understand him. The courtroom ficaso is final nail in the coffin of their sinking relationship.

"My lord my client Smita Surana is legally wedded wife of Mr. Akshay singh Ranawat for past seven years but after one year of their marriage he abandoned her. Now she is mother of one beautiful girl. He neither accepting them nor paying living allowance to them. So on behalf of my client I request you to grant her divorce from this man and order him to pay monthly alimony."her lawyer Ronit concluded.

"I object my lord "his lawyer Surendra singh cut his argument."

"objection sustained"the judge said.

"Thank you My lord"cunning smile came on his face. "My lord this woman has decieving nature "he pointed finger on her."

"objection my lord "her lawyer said.

" objection overruled. You are saying something Mr. Singh. "

" I was saying that this woman has deceiving nature and I can prove it.May I ask you some question M. S. Smita.

"Yes"she replied.

"can you tell me when you two got married? "

" 17 February 2011"

"and when he left you "?

" After one year. "

" any specific reason. "

" You should ask him about that. "

" Very well. How many years old your daughter is? "

" Five. "

" were you pregnant when my client left you?"

"No "

" Everything is crystal clear my lord. She is not expecting when my client left her. She had fun with someone in between and now forcing my client to accept this illegitimate child of her to be named his. Her shameless don't end here despite of all this she is claiming alimony. "

" This is not true..... Her chocked voice came. "he knew about this child."

"Mr. Ranawat what you want to say. "

" I don't think that she is my daughter. One day she called me that she expecting. I refused her to have that child.Its totally her decision to have this kid. "his venomious word pricked her heart and it stopped beating for a second . Its like someone plants bunch of thrones in her heart which is bleeding each cell. She didn't expected this from him. Dam of her patience is broke and flood of sorrow destroying every bound but that is not enough she heard whimper of someone. She looked around and find her daughter standing on the entrance of courtroom sobbing loudly.

She reached home and make Akshita sleep on the bed and kiss her forehead. She covered her with blanket.She is looking like an angel. "My angel" she caress her hairs. She ate leftover of morning and sat on the floor of varanda. The moon is shining against the dark sky. Stars are enhancing its beauty. Its soothing at least for a while in this turbulent time. She was afraid in the evening when she finds that he took her. She felt she will lost her forever but she is safe.She returns safe from the den of lion and that is big relief. She didn't want anything from him now. She agreed for withdrawal of the case in front of megistrate. She didn't want to do anything with him after watching her daughter's emotional break down.She stands up and felt someone is hiding behind the bushes.

"Who is there?"She asked sternly. She pick up a stick from the ground and went towards the bushes. Her heart is beating loudly and fist clenched. She removed the leaves and saw a retreating figure running in the street.

"Thief, thief"she shouted loudly and everyone came out from their respective homes. Few men ran behind him but failed to grab him..

P. S. I know many of you readers will hate Akshay after this chapter but trust me when his reasons will reveal you won't be able to hate him
