Sarvagya had made a terrible mistake—one that had led him to this breaking point. The mistake was not that he had involved Amber in his plan, nor was it that he had manipulated information to protect Tripti. No, the real mistake was that he hadn't told Tripti anything. He had assumed he could handle everything alone, that he could control the situation without involving her. He had convinced himself that keeping her in the dark was the best option because he didn't want her to get angry over Amber's name being mentioned.
And now, he was standing at the edge of a disaster, watching helplessly as the trust between them crumbled to dust.
"Tripti! Baby, please listen to me!" His voice was urgent, pleading. "Just hear me out once! Let me explain everything properly. I swear, if you just listen to me with a clear mind, you'll realize that I would never betray you!"
But Tripti was past the point of listening.
