Ananya's eyes turned red as she picked up her bag and looked at Seema. "Back then, you were extremely reluctant to part with Meera when she moved out. She was the apple of your eye while I am chopped liver. Since that's the case, she might as well have everything. Not only can she have my parents, she can also have my man. I wish you all the best!"
"Ananya!" Seema shouted. She could not believe that the usually subservient Ananya would speak to her like this.
As Ananya walked to the door, she heard Meera's cries and apologies mingled with Seema's gentle, comforting voice. Seema did not believe Ananya's words at all—she refused to believe that Meera would do such a thing.
"Meera, don't cry. I don't know what's wrong with Ananya. She actually fabricated such vicious lies to slander you…" Seema hugged Meera achingly.
Hearing Seema's words, ridicule flashed across Ananya's eyes. The fingers that were clutching her bag turned white as she slammed the door shut!
After getting into the car, Ananya licked her dry lips and tasted blood. She floored the accelerator and the car sped off.
A Porsche—Raj's car—was waiting at her apartment building. Raj leaned against the front of the car, smoking. At the sight of Ananya, he barked at her. "Meera is missing. Ananya, did you make things difficult for Meera again? I told you before that I forced her to be with me. She has always cared about you and treats you as her sister from the bottom of her heart. If you have any resentment, come at me…" Before he could finish speaking, Ananya struck his face with her palm.
Raj's head was tilted to the side by the slap—Ananya had expended all her strength. Raj was stunned by the slap and could not react for a long time. He touched the corner of his mouth and said in disbelief, "You actually hit me?"
Ananya said, "Didn't you say to direct any resentment at you?"
Raj's lips trembled. "You f*cking…" He could not even finish his sentence—Ananya's slap had made his mind go blank. He never expected that Ananya would dare to hit him!
"Thank you. I'm in a better mood now." Ananya sidestepped Raj and entered her apartment.
"Ananya!" Raj kicked the trash can beside him in helpless fury.
Ananya could not care less about Raj's outburst. Upon entering the apartment, she leaned against the door to calm herself down. Then, she turned on her computer and started working overtime. Shushma had arranged for her to work by Raj's side, immediately after her graduation. She had thought then that Shushma was nurturing her as a family. But in hindsight now, she saw though Shushma's ruse.
The Old Master of the Kapoor family had arranged for the Kapoor family's younger generation to work in Kapoor Corporation Group from a young age to put them to the test. With the help of Ananya—a top finance graduate from University—Raj rose to the top, netting all the credit and money.
But what was she working so hard for?
Raj wanted to break off the engagement with her, and the Kapoor family did not utter a word at all. So, what on earth did she waste all these years for? What did she get in return?
As for the parasitic Shushma and Raj, they leeched off the abilities of other people to gain money and power!Ananya's fingers were trembling with anger as she found Arjun's contact email on the company's intranet and sent the whistle blowing report—containing evidence of Raj's embezzlement and dereliction of duty—anonymously by email.
After sending the email, Ananya lay on the table and waited for a long time, but there was no reply. When she woke up again, it was six in the morning. She rubbed her sore eyes and saw a new email notification. She quickly opened it, only to see a cold, hard word: Rejected.
On the way to the office, Ananya bit her cheek—her face hurt; and she was not feeling well from sleeping on the table last night.
When Eve saw Ananya in the office, she hurriedly handed over a pile of documents. "Ananya, the Director sent your purchase agreement back yesterday. MTX Corporation has been pestering us for the agreement and said that if we don't submit it by nine o'clock tomorrow, it will be considered as giving up the bid."
Eve's tone was a little resentful. Previously, Raj had never bothered about these things, so the purchase agreement could be reviewed and approved by Ananya. However, the vindictive Raj bore a grudge against Ananya for the slap last night and deliberately rejected Ananya's purchase agreement.
