### Aaryan's Tragic Story: Episode 4 - "The Fall of the Betrayers"
Aaryan stood in front of the mansion where Meera lived, staring up at the grand house that once symbolized everything he thought he wanted. There was a time when he had dreamed of a life with her, where love, family, and happiness felt like they were within reach. But now, that vision felt like a distant dream, buried under the weight of betrayal.
Meera's family had never approved of him, of his background. They had pretended to tolerate him when things were going well, but as soon as the cracks began to show in his life, they turned their backs. And Meera—Meera, who had promised to stand by him—had walked away the moment life became difficult. She had been his light, his reason for holding on, but in the end, she had proven to be just like everyone else.
Tonight, that house would burn.
Aaryan had planned every detail meticulously. His mind, now sharpened by the dark power he had gained, worked with a cold precision that it never had before. He knew where her family would be, what time they would be asleep, how to make it all look like an accident. But this wasn't just about killing them—it was about making sure they felt his wrath, his pain, before they drew their last breaths.

#### Confronting Meera
As he made his way through the halls of the mansion, memories of Meera flooded his mind. Their laughter, their whispered promises, their shared dreams—it all seemed so far away now. Aaryan felt no sadness, no regret, only a deep, hollow emptiness where love once resided.
When he reached Meera's room, she was startled to see him. Her eyes widened, her mouth opened to speak, but before she could say a word, Aaryan's cold stare silenced her. She knew why he was there. There was no need for words. Meera could see the man standing before her was not the same Aaryan she had once known. The kindness, the warmth that had drawn her to him, was gone. In its place was a darkness that chilled her to the core.
"You left me," Aaryan said quietly, his voice devoid of emotion. "When I needed you the most, you weren't there. Now, you'll pay for what you did."
Meera trembled, trying to plead, but the words stuck in her throat. She knew there was no mercy left in him. Aaryan moved toward her, and though the details of what transpired in that room would never be spoken of, the weight of his vengeance hung heavy in the air. What followed was not just the breaking of a body, but the crushing of a soul. In that moment, Meera understood the depths of Aaryan's rage, and that knowledge was more devastating than any act of violence.

#### The Final Blow
Once he had dealt with Meera, Aaryan's attention turned to her family. They had played their part in this, too, feeding into her doubts, encouraging her to leave him when he was at his lowest. They had judged him, discarded him as though he were nothing. And now, they would face the consequences.
Moving silently through the house, Aaryan set the plan in motion. He rigged the house with explosives, positioning them so that it would seem like a tragic accident, a gas leak that had gone unnoticed. As the hours passed and the night grew darker, Aaryan worked with a focus that surprised even him. There was no remorse, no second thoughts. The only thing that mattered was making them pay.
When the final charge was set, Aaryan stepped outside, watching the mansion from a distance. He waited, the silence of the night broken only by the sound of his heartbeat. And then, with a single push of a button, the mansion erupted into flames. The fire spread quickly, consuming everything in its path. Aaryan watched as the house, and everything it represented, was reduced to ash.
But as the fire raged, something unexpected happened. For a brief moment, Aaryan felt a pang of something—something that felt almost like regret. He had achieved his revenge, had carried out his plan to perfection, but standing there, watching the flames, he felt… empty. The satisfaction he had expected, the closure, never came. Instead, there was only a hollow void where his heart should have been.

#### The Aftermath
In the days that followed, the news of the accident spread like wildfire. No one questioned the official story—it was a tragic accident, a gas leak that had led to the death of Meera and her family. Aaryan's name was never mentioned, and to the world, he remained just another grieving soul who had once loved the woman who perished.
But Aaryan knew the truth, and so did the darkness inside him. He had crossed a line, a line from which there was no turning back. The power he had gained had allowed him to exact his revenge, but it had also taken something from him—something essential, something that made him human.
As he stood at the edge of the city, looking out over the skyline of Mumbai, Aaryan felt the weight of his actions settle on him. The revenge that had once driven him now felt like a burden, a curse that he could never escape. He had become everything he had once despised, and there was no one left to pull him back from the brink.
The dark power continued to whisper in his mind, urging him to take more, to never stop. But as Aaryan looked out at the world, he couldn't help but wonder if, in seeking revenge, he had lost more than he had ever gained.
