Chapter 2: Entering the Lion’s Den

Dressed in an elegant clothes , Ashnoor walked into the Suthar mansion—a grand estate that screamed power and wealth. Her heart pounded as she was led inside, gripping the edge of her saree with clammy fingers.

She was here. In Shalvi's place.

Arav Suthar.

Tall, sharp-jawed, and utterly intimidating. He sat on a leather couch in the massive living room, dressed in a crisp black suit, watching her with cold, unreadable eyes.

"So, you finally decided to show up," he said, voice void of emotion.

Ashnoor swallowed hard. This was going to be harder than she thought.
