I can feel the sweat rolling down my spine and forehead  , my vest sticking to my chest like a second skin. I have pushed my limits to the maximum extent but I don't stop. It's been four days since the tabloid mishap , the Gossip Now has published a written apology for their false accusations on us the next day but I want to ruin them how dare they hurt her.

They don't have any idea how much their baseless words have affected the people whom they write about. I wouldn't have given two shits if it was someone else but it's not someone else who is hurt its my wife and I will be damned if I let them get away with it unscathed. My lawyers are in the process of creating a strong case which is a legal way while I am will destroy the company not just a substitute for it. In a month Business Now will be wiped off from the Business world. No one will even remember its fucking name.

According to the information my technical team have gathered by hacking into Finalizing Data of the company the CEO himself sent the information for publishing which indicates that someone personally sent him all this to damage our reputation. Even Madhav confirmed the source.

Shivanya has changed in a way you can't point it out but I can see right through her. She looks a little lost when no one is around like she is physically there but her mind is somewhere else.
She smiles a lot , a smile that's not natural , it doesn't reach her eyes , it's totally fake like she is forcing herself to stay happy but from the inside, she is the exact opposite. Every night she sketches in her file like she wants to lose herself in it until I tell her to sleep , she snuggles into Me like she is trying to seek comfort but doesn't fall asleep till the early morning hours only to get up just in a few hours I even switch off her alarm so that she can have some sleep.

She had even started on a new painting two days before and the canvas is huge in size but she doesn't let Me see it." It's a gift for your Hotel so you being the owner can't see it. " She said last night when I wanted to see it. Maybe that's her way to escape the reality.

" You have been running for the last one hour . " I turn my head to look at Dhruv who is looking at Me with a concerned expression with his arms crossed. " Stop it Now , do you want the poor machine to blast at this insane speed ." He added but I don't stop even my limbs are giving up because of the cardio exercises I did earlier.

" I am stopping it and don't fall face first on the treadmill. " He says but I pushed his hand away before it could touch the button.

" BhabhiSa must be waiting for breakfast. " Dhruv says with a smirk , he joined us with Dadisa and Dadosa for breakfast yesterday in the garden , I didn't have any problem because my relationship with Dhruv is not bad and most importantly a new person with us did distract Shivanya in a good way. I slowly reduce the speed and get off from the treadmill.
