Third Person's POV

"How can you be so incompetent, Ridvansh? Sikha was out the whole day yesterday. She gave some lame excuse to Dhruv regarding wanting fresh air, but I am sure she had some ulterior motive.

"I informed you about her disappearance right after I was notified by the bodyguard I hired. How could you not find out where she went?" Anjali said with an angry edge in her voice.

"How convenient for you to call me incompetent when you are the one who hired an incompetent bodyguard. If he had done his job properly, Sikha would not have been able to escape," Ridvansh raked his hand through his hair, frustrated by the recent events.

"This is not good, Ridvansh. Not good at all. She knows about us. She had witnessed what we had done. If she somehow found any evidence against us, we will be finished," Anjali said, fear starting to creep inside her after all these years.

Looking at her pacing the room with worry marring her expression, Ridvansh sighed and walked up to her. "If she had found evidence, don't you think she would have already done something about it? She would not have returned to the mansion. Don't worry, darling."

Anjali shook her head as she heard Ridvansh. "No. My intuition is never wrong, Ridvansh. And right now, I have a feeling that something will happen soon. Something terrible."

"You have contacts in the police, don't you? Ask them to check the CCTV footage of the cameras near that temple. Maybe we can find where Sikha went yesterday through that footage," Anjali said, and when she saw Ridvansh about to protest, she interrupted him.

"Do as I say, Ridvansh. We cannot take this matter lightly. I feel Sikha is up to something, and we must do everything we can to protect ourselves. We cannot let that chit of a girl destroy us."

Dhruv was working on his new project in his office when he heard a knock at his door.

Looking up, he smiled as he saw his sister at the door. "Anjali, what a pleasant surprise! What brought you to our office today?"

"I had come to meet my friend who lives nearby. As I was about to return to the mansion, I thought to visit the office and talk with you about something important," Anjali replied, and Dhruv frowned at the seriousness of her voice.

"Is everything ok, Anjali?"

"It is about Sikha, Dhruv," Anjali said, and Dhruv frowned at her.

"What about Sikha?" He asked.

"I feel like she is planning something against you, Dhruv. I know she has promised to give you another chance if you made her fall for you again, but I think she is lying.

"I feel she hates you and is back to the mansion only to destroy you," Anjali answered carefully, pretending to be concerned for Dhruv when she is only worried about her crimes being exposed.

"At times, I feel that way too, Anjali. But there is no way she can destroy me. She has nothing on me. Also, I have now taken away her phone, and she is not even allowed to leave the mansion after the little stunt she pulled yesterday. So, even though she hates me or plans to destroy me, she has no means to do so," Dhruv told her, and Anjali shook her head at his overconfidence.

"Have I not taught you never to underestimate your enemies, Dhruv? Although Sikha is your wife, under the circumstances, you two got married, and then what happened after your marriage, she must have harbored deep hate for you. She will not stay quiet and wait for you to make her love you again. She will definitely do something. I can feel it," Anjali said to Dhruv.
