", no time for nonsense, I just need to locate him pronto." Shreyansh snapped at his man on the phone with a fiery glare before ending the call. His eyes were totally red in anger

His main target was catching Vivek and killing him brutally.

He had assigned his men to search every nook and cranny of the city to capture Vivek at any cost. "You can run all you want, but you can't evade me. Your fate is sealed once we cross paths," he growled in a rage-filled voice.

Just then, Vihaan arrived and informed Shreyansh,

"", 'When I went to Vivek's house, I saw that only his phone was there and it was damaged. He was not in the house, and his money, jewelry, and belongings were missing

""" vihaan told shreyansh , who had just returned from Vivek's house, Shreyansh had asked Vihaan to investigate.

Vihaan expressed, 'I believe he might be planning to leave the country. We need to locate him quickly before it's too late.'

"

Man, no matter where he goes in the world, he can't get away from me," he muttered angrily. Shreyansh was just about to continue when a notification popped up on his phone. He quickly took it out and his expression turned dark with rage.

"This girl just won't stop cheating. I was being lenient with her until now, but she's about to face the consequences of betraying Shreyansh Singh Rajput over and over again.""

Vihaan noticed his puzzled expression and wondered why he was so enraged, so he snatched the phone from his hand. Once he looked at the screen, his eyes widened in shock.

"""Calm down Shreyansh, you're jumping to conclusions too quickly. He's her brother, that's why she went to meet him. I don't think Aarya has anything to do with this Ashvi situation,""" Vihaan reassured him.

"He's her brother, so I'm saying she must know the whole truth because she lives with them in their house. So, why do you think she doesn't know anything and is at fault first? I think she's involved. She was supporting her brother in torturing Ashvi. There's definitely some planning going on between those two siblings," Shreyansh said angrily.

""i fucking don't belive her i know she can do anything maybe she still want to hurt me my family ,maybe she is also involved in his father and illegal businesses "

"Shreyansh is totally not buying her story. He thinks she's capable of anything, and maybe she's trying to hurt him and his family. He's even suspecting she's involved in illegal stuff with her father. He's so worked up in anger and hatred towards Arya that he's just blaming her for everything without really thinking straight. Vihaan is shocked by Shreyansh's accusations and has completely lost trust in Arya. He's convinced she's behind all the wrongdoing and sees her as the culprit every time.

"

"" 'She must know where her brother is. I'll get the answer from her, I'll make her spill the truth.""' Shreyansh said He was just about to leave. Only then vihaan stopped him

,"" 'I know she's messed up in the past, but don't be hasty this time. You're jumping to conclusions too quickly. Shreyansh, chill out and think things through. I don't think Arya is to blame for Ashvi's situation. There's more to this. Stay calm and stop pointing fingers at Arya for everything.""""

Onky then vihaan again asked a questionwhich was raising in his mind

" 'So, where did you get that photo? Who sent it to you?:"" It was a pic of Arya and Vivek that someone sent to Shreyansh's phone. ,

'My informant sent it.'"" Shreyansh replied

Vihaan was in disbelief,

"'You're keeping an informant behind Arya?'

Shreyansh just nodded his head

"Take care of Yuvaan and Aashvi, I am leaving now, I am sure she must know where Vivek is. " Sheyansh let out walking out of the hospital without listening vihaan words

-------------------------------------

Shreyansh is sitting in his room, all dimly lit with a cigarette in hand, lounging on the sofa like a boss and gazing at the door like he's expecting someone. Suddenly, the door swings open. Arya, just getting back from outside, steps inside to find the room pitch dark. She flicks on the light, revealing the whole place... but then freezes in fear when she spots Shreyansh giving her the evil eye from the sofa. His intense look makes Arya uneasy, making her wonder what got him so riled up. Taking a calming breath, she reminds herself not to panic and starts moving around the room. Just as she heads towards the bathroom, Shreyansh, with a mix of anger and danger in his voice, asks,

", where have you been?""

"

"I had to grab some important stuff, so I hit up the market," she replied. He sprang up from the couch and started moving towards her, causing her to instinctively back away as Shreyansh's eyes blazed with anger, making her seem like he was about to snap any moment, until her back met the wall.

"Are you being honest with me?" he inquired in a calm voice. She gazed at him, confused, and gave a slight nod.

"After hearing her response, Shreyansh burst into loud, sinister laughter."

Watching him laugh that way gave her a bad feeling, like something was about to go down...

"Shreyansh," she called out to him, but her words caught in her throat when Shreyansh, without second thoughts, grabbed her by the neck...

"W-h-at a-re y-ou d-o-ing? Leave m-e ?

"Come on, how can I leave you? You keep cheating on me over and over again and you expect me to just let you off the hook each time," he said angrily as he gripped her throat, making it hard for Arya to breathe and tears welled up in her eyes.

Shreyansh was also upset to find out she had just met with Vivek and was now lying about it, suspecting they were in cahoots. Despite Arya's struggles, she couldn't break free. "You say you went to the market, but what's this? How much longer are you going to lie to me?" Shreyansh demanded, showing her something on his phone with rage in his eyes.

Releasing her neck, Arya collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Shreyansh knelt down next to her, grabbing her hair in frustration.

""", what's all this? If you lie this time, I'll be really kill you . I won't even hesitate," he asked frustratedly. He's causing pain to Arya,

His words really hurt her when he said he's ready to harm the her who once loved and cherished her the most, now making her cry and threatening to kill her. It's like she's the one who caused him to become this way.

but he's also feeling the same pain.

His throat was choked. He felt a lot of pain in his heart while saying these words. His eyes also turned from hard to delicate after seeing her tears. But what was hurting him more was that she was still lying to him.

. "She's just coming to see Vivek, but she's lying to him saying she went to the market. When she looked at him with her teary eyes,

Both of them locked eyes, one with tears and a sense of helplessness, clearly conveying sincerity, while the other, Shreyansh, struggled to trust her, his eyes filled with anger, afraid of the potential betrayal if he was to believe her once more. It seems like he's reaching his breaking point, where he might crumble and break down.

she could see the hatred he had for her, making her realize that Shreyansh was no longer the one who loved her. He had truly become the one who despised her with all his heart, and he wouldn't hesitate before hurting her. She's the one who made him like this. ....

But still she could see something other than hatred in his eyes and she could not understand whether it was hatred or a little love for her.

."" 'You are just coming back after meeting Vivek. Tell me the truth. Where is Vivek Arya?" Shreyansh asked in threatened tone

""Wow !!! now he it's hurting me because i'm coming back from meeting my brother" Arya thought in disbelief an look at him with same furious eyes

"Shreyansh, what's your deal? Why do you hate my brother so much? Why are you always after him, when it was me who betrayed you and tried to seek revenge by attempting to kill you. Why the focus on my brother?" Arya questioned.

"And seriously, what's the big deal? If I want to meet my brother, I will. He's my brother, I can see him whenever I want," she expressed angrily.

", calm down before you raise your voice at me," he warned, gripping her arm and lifting her off the ground. Despite her furious gaze and efforts to break free, she demanded, "Let me go and stop this nonsense!" pushing him away.

"Where did you get this picture? Are you spying on me now?" Arya asked in disbelief.

"It's smart to keep an eye on cheaters. I need to be careful so they don't deceive me again," Shreyansh mocked, causing tears to well up in her eyes.

"Do you really think I would betray you again?" Arya asked, her voice filled with pain.

"

"Maybe," he replied, causing her heart to shatter into thousands of pieces.

"You don't trust me even one percent?" Arya asked, her voice filled with pain as she realized the person who once trusted her more than anything now doubted her even by a fraction.

""""No, I didn't trust you. Now I regret marrying you. I should have sent you to jail or killed you the moment I saw you after you tried to kill me," """Shreyansh said, gazing deep into her eyes, breaking both of their hearts into pieces. Shreyansh said those words in anger but only he knows how much regret he is feeling after saying all that. His angry eyes suddenly become soft when his gaze falls on the face of the person standing in front of him which has lost its color after hearing such bitter words.

His wife !! His jaan

As Arya heard his bitter words, she stumbled and felt weak in her legs,

""he regretted marrying me !! ". She uttered meekly

Shreyansh supported her and prevented her from falling,

He was trying to correct the harsh words he had said and was thinking about what he should say to correct everything but he could not think of anything

To understand his wife

Unbeknownst to them, someone else was listening to their conversation and was shocked by what he / she heard. "

"Right now, I don't have time to ask questions or explain our fight and what happened between us. Just give me your brother's address. I need him," Shreyansh asked calmly.

, Arya was all caught up thinking about the harsh words that broke her heart when Shreyansh's voice brought her back.

"Why do you want my brother? He didn't do anything wrong. It was me who tried to harm you. You can do what you want to me, even send me to jail, but please spare my brother," she pleaded, fearing for her brother's life. Shreyansh, frustrated by her response, got angrier as he felt she wasn't answering his questions directly, causing him to feel like his time was being wasted.

"I'm not after your brother to seek vengeance for myself. He has committed a serious offense against someone else, and he will face the consequences," Shreyansh said angrily while pulling her closer by her hair.

"Who is it? What are you saying? I think there's a misunderstanding," Arya replied, unable to believe that her brother could have wronged someone.

", come with me, I'll show you what your BASTARD brother has done " he said angrily

as he pulled her out of the room.

"Where do you think you're taking me? Let go!" she protested, attempting to pry his hand off of hers.

He shot her a threatening look, causing her to freeze and comply by silently following him, halting any resistance.

---------------------------

"

"" why did you bring me to the hospital?" she asked as she got out of the car. However, he didn't answer her questions and just pulled her inside the hospital, holding her hand tightly.

"Could you please walk slowly?" Arya requested, trying not to trip over her saree while hurrying due to her husband. Once inside the hospital, Arya noticed Yuvan and Vihaan standing outside a room.

"Why are these people here? Did something happen to someone?" As they approached Vihaan and Yuvan, Shreyansh let go of her hand abruptly. Vihaan and Yuvan also looked towards Arya and Shreyansh.

"Did something happen to any of you? What are you guys doing at the hospital?" Arya asked with concern. Yuvan turned away, ignoring her completely because he despised her And after seeing Ashvi's condition, he starts hating Arya even more and he too, like Shreyansh, starts misunderstanding her.

, while Vihaan gestured towards the room. As Arya looked in the direction Vihaan pointed, her eyes widened in fear.

"Ashvi.

Her eyes were wide with fear as she cautiously approached the room. The sight of so many wires and oxygen masks attached to her body horrified her, making her throat go dry. Turning to Shreyansh, she asked with a trembling voice, her eyes welling up with tears. She wasn't just her sister-in-law, but also her closest friend and biggest supporter.

'Tell me, what happened to her, please,'"" she pleaded with Shreyansh. However, instead of answering, Shreyansh glared at her furiously and seemed on the brink of exploding. Just then, Kunal and a female doctor named Neha emerged from Ashvi's room.

"" 'We need to discuss something important. Let's go to my office to talk,""' Neha said. Everyone agreed and followed Kunal and Neha. Yuvan, however, stayed behind outside Ashvi's room, unable to tear his eyes away from her even for a moment.

Yuvan's heart just can't bear to be away from her, even for a moment. He wishes he could be beside her, holding her hand and staying with her forever, but the doctor won't let him in, making him feel really restless. Still, he's a bit relieved that Ashvi is out of danger and will recover soon. His gaze is fixed on her, looking through the glass door, tears welling up in his eyes. Wiping them away repeatedly, he can't believe what's happening. He hates seeing all those machines and wires attached to her body.

he just wants to go to Ashvi, hold her hand, and let her know she's safe now and that he's always there for her. He won't let her suffer anymore and he's ready to take on anyone who's hurt her. He's willing to fight the whole world to protect her. And he's sorry he couldn't save her earlier.

"""Can I go into the room please"Yuvaan asked the nurse who had just exited Ashvi's room if he could go in. Even though he had been waiting for a while, he just want now to be by her side, holding her hand. The worry for Ashvi was evident in his eyes. .

He pleaded in a soft voice, .

'Please let me in, I promise not to disturb her, I just want to sit next to her and be close.""

' As the nurse noticed his genuine concern, a smile formed on her face.

She replied,

"'You can come in, just try not to make any noise that might disturb the patient.' "'

""I won't make a sound, I promise. Thank you so much,' "Yuvaan said gratefully to the nurse.

Upon grasping the handle of the door and opening it, his heart began to beat rapidly. He noticed his hands trembling and he was breathing heavily. Tears welled up in his eyes when he saw her motionless figure on the bed before him. The sight of Ashvi lying lifeless in front of him was something he never anticipated. The pain he felt in his heart at that moment was indescribable. Taking a seat beside her, he gazed upon her pale face with deep respect.

" 'I apologize,""' he whispered as he held her hand.

" 'I couldn't save you in time, and I can't fathom the suffering you endured until now. But I vow that from this point onward, I will protect you. I won't let anyone harm you. I will shield you from this harsh world. Please, open your eyes...'"" he implored, tears streaming down his face and falling onto her hand...

He began to delicately kiss her hands, with tears streaming down onto them. Despite his efforts to hold back, the sight of her lifeless body in bed made his tears uncontrollable. The level of pain he was experiencing for her surpassed any he had ever felt for himself. The agony was indescribable, leaving him breathless and consumed with emotion.

""'I wish God could transfer all your suffering onto me. I cannot bear seeing you in this state"" , he whispered, pleading for her to open her eyes.

""'Ashvi, please open your eyes. I cannot live without you"",' he softly uttered as he pressed his forehead against hers.
