The tension in the air was so thick it could be cut with a knife. Nandani's sharp, venomous words still echoed in the corridor, striking a chord that instantly shattered Anurag's composure. For weeks, he had tried to tolerate her subtle digs, her arrogant smirks, and her constant attempts to undermine his relationship. But hearing her drag Prerna's background into her bitter tirade was the absolute last straw. Anurag's vision blurred with pure, unadulterated rage. Blinded by the sudden surge of anger, he lost control of his actions. Stepping forward with a thunderous expression, he forcefully pushed Nandani away from him.

Nandani, completely caught off guard and wholly unprepared for such a physical reaction, stumbled backward. Her heels clicked frantically against the floorboards as she lost her balance, skittering back a full two feet before managed to stabilize herself. Shock and outrage flashed across her face. Seeing her expression only fueled Anurag's fury. His veins popped against his neck, his knuckles turning white. Infuriated, he instinctively raised his right hand, ready to strike out of sheer madness.

"Anurag, no!"

Before his hand could descend, a familiar, warm grip intercepted him. Prerna rushed forward at the exact split second, her timing flawless. She caught his raised wrist mid-air, holding it firmly. Without a moment's hesitation, she threw her arms around his torso, pulling herself flush against his chest in a tight, unyielding hug.

"Calm down, Anurag. Look at me. Just breathe," Prerna whispered urgently, burying her face into his shoulder while anchoring him to the ground. She knew exactly how explosive his anger could be when it came to her defense. She rubbed his back firmly, pouring all her love and stability into the embrace, acting as a human shield against his destructive wrath. Slowly, the rigid tension in Anurag's muscles began to melt under her touch. His heavy, ragged breathing gradually synchronized with hers. Though his hand dropped to his side, the fury in his soul hadn't entirely vanished. He looked over Prerna's shoulder, targeting Nandani with a deadly, piercing glare. It was an icy, predatory look that promised absolute ruin—a look so intense that a visible shiver ran straight down Nandani's spine, her bravado evaporating into thin air. Gently but firmly, Prerna turned around to face Nandani properly, though she stayed close, her back now pressed protectively against Anurag's front. Sensing her positioning, Anurag didn't miss a beat. He slid his strong arm possessively around Prerna's waist, pulling her flush against him, securing his hold while his eyes remained locked onto the trembling woman in front of them.
