"I'll call you guys. Miss me." Ishika said and winked at them. Making them shake their head.

"Taya ji and Dad will call you. They are sorting everything inside." Kaartik said making Ishika nod.

Two cars exited from the main entrance of Royal palace.

Author's POV

It has been 2 weeks since Ishika last talked to her paternal family. She is trying hard to hide the pain she is feeling but she is breaking on the inside.

Saaransh and Adhiraj went back to America after a lot of 'i will be fine's" by Ishika. Today she finally got out of her self guilt and decided to go to her office.

She got ready and had her breakfast.
Her phone pinged with a notification. As she looked to see who it was. Her phone ringed it was Abhimaan's call.

(A/n- any guess?)

"Hello." Ishika said.

"Hello la mia anima." Came Abhimaan's rough voice.

"How are you?" He asked his voice laced with concern.

"I'm fine." Ishika said and smiled at his concern.

"Go on a date with me." Abhimaan said with his brooding voice.

"That's not how you ask politely." Ishika said jokingly.

"Please my love." Abhimaan said. If anyone else heard the way Abhimaan speak to her they would be surprised but that is if the person stays alive after hearing.

"Ok." Ishika sighed.

"Br ready by 7." Abhimaan said.

"Ok, I gotta go now." Ishika said before ending the call.

Ishika entered her office and everyone looked at her with surprise and curiosity gleaming in their eyes.
She entered her cabin and started going through the files. A knock was heard on the door.

"Come in." Ishika said.

"Good morning ma'am." Said Rose Ishika's personal Assistant.

"Good morning Rose. How are you? You look tensed. What happened?" Ishika wished Rose but as she turned to look at Rose she saw her frightened.

"Ma'am actually there is a problem." Rose said.

"What is it?" Ishika asked.

"Ma'am the designs for our summer collection which is yet to be released. Those designs with same fabric and same colour as we planned are already used by Ms. Siya's company." Rose said all in one breath. Siya was owner of the bliss clothing line. She is Ishika's rival from past couple years. This was no surprise that she stooped so low this time.

"Rose first of all calm down. Here, drink water." Ishika said giving Rose a glass of water.

"I knew something like this with happen. Now listen to me carefully, go to the room where we keep files and on the second shelf of cabinet number 13 there would be a red coloured file bring It." Ishika told Rose once she finished drinking water.

Rose went towards the file room with the speed of light.

"Maybe water really energized her." Ishika laughed to herself and went back to doing her work.

Suddenly her office door was opened and she shook her head knowing very well who it was.

"What is it?" Ishika asked.
