Her cheeks heated, but there was no emotion on his face.

“What would you like to eat?” he asked.

“I-I’m not hungry.”

She wasn’t the least bit hungry. Her stomach still trembled and churned. All she wanted was to remain close to him.

“Are you sure you don’t want anything? Milk, banana or light breakfast?”

She shook her head. “No. I’ll throw up if I have anything.”

He paused and then nodded.

He was about to pick her up again, but she shook her head. “I can walk,” she said.

He nodded. She thought they would lie on the bed, but was surprised when he led her out of their suite and led her downstairs.

She thought he was hungry and wanted to have breakfast, but she was taken aback when he led her to the family room.

“Your mother is arriving here,” he said.

She was shocked. “I-Is she all right?”

“Yes, she is fine. Her nurse is with her. But she doesn’t know anything about your brother.”

“T-then why is she coming here?”

Her heart began to thud sickly, seeing the look on his face. She somehow knew her mother wasn’t coming to stay with her at the Thakvar mansion.

“She’s coming here because you both are leaving for San Francisco to my father and mother’s home. A jet has been prepared. Mr. Bahadur and Gagan will accompany you along with security to the airport.”

“No…” she whispered. “Please. Don’t send me away.”

She panicked when he didn’t react. She held his hand.

“Please, Shivay,” she begged. “I love you. I’ll do anything for your forgiveness.”

He leaned in to gently brush his lips over hers. “Then do as I say and leave.”

The sounds of the private jet engines could be heard outside.

“This is so exciting. I can’t believe we are going on a holiday to America!”

Ishani blinked her eyes to stop her tears from flowing. She forced herself to smile while her mother looked excitedly out of the private jet window.

“Yes, Ma. We are going on a holiday.”

Even as she listened to her mother speaking excitedly, the pain inside her heart grew.

She had begged Shivay and told him that she loved him. And yet, he sent her away.

She lost the man she loved.

CHAPTER 35

Shivay was seated in the conference room with his brothers. They had just finished a call with the investigative team.
