As the date of the Milan fashion show drew near, Sia's anticipation reached fever pitch. Months of hard work and dedication had led to this moment—the chance to showcase her talent on an international stage. But as she prepared to board the plane to Milan, a twist of fate threw her plans into disarray.

Arjun, consumed by a lucrative business deal, would be unable to accompany her to Milan. Instead, Dave, the esteemed judge from Devon Fashion House, would be her companion on the trip. Despite her initial apprehension, Sia resolved to make the best of the situation, her excitement tempered by a sense of unease.

As they embarked on their journey to Milan, the atmosphere between Sia and Dave crackled with tension, their interactions tinged with a hint of underlying desire. But amidst the chaos of the fashion world, they kept their feelings in check, focusing on the task at hand.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Arjun's jealousy simmered beneath the surface like a dormant volcano, his thoughts consumed by the image of Sia walking the runway with another man by her side. Unable to shake the gnawing sense of possessiveness that gripped him, he resolved to take action.

As Sia dazzled on the runway, her beauty captivating the audience, Arjun's jealousy reached its boiling point. With each step she took, his anger surged, his desire to possess her burning like a wildfire.

And as the final curtain fell and the applause echoed through the auditorium, Arjun's resolve hardened. No longer would he allow another man to lay claim to what was rightfully his. From that moment on, he would stop at nothing to make Sia his own, consequences be damned.

Little did Sia know, the jealousy that had simmered beneath the surface would soon erupt into a storm of passion and desire, forever altering the course of their lives.

As the lights dimmed and the audience erupted into applause, Arjun Dev sat in his office thousands of miles away, his gaze fixed on the screen displaying the Milan fashion show. But instead of feeling pride at Sia's success, a seething jealousy burned within him, fueled by the sight of her walking the runway with another man by her side.

With each passing moment, his anger grew, his thoughts consumed by the image of Sia and Dave together, the whispers of the audience ringing in his ears. Unable to contain his emotions any longer, he stormed out of his office, his steps echoing through the corridors of Devon Fashion House.

Determined to put an end to the madness, Arjun sought out Sia's manager, his voice laced with barely-contained fury as he delivered his ultimatum.

"I want you to ensure that Sia is never paired with Dave again," he demanded, his words cutting through the air like a knife. "If you refuse, you'll be looking for a new job."

The manager, taken aback by Arjun's sudden aggression, nodded hastily, her eyes wide with fear. She had heard stories of his temper, but she had never witnessed it firsthand until now.

"Yes, Mr. Dev, I understand," she replied, her voice trembling slightly. "I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."

Satisfied that his message had been received, Arjun turned on his heel and strode away, his mind swirling with conflicting emotions. Though his jealousy burned like a wildfire, he knew that he couldn't risk losing Sia—not when she had become the object of his obsession.

But little did he know, the seeds of resentment he had sown would soon bear bitter fruit, setting into motion a chain of events that would forever alter the course of their tumultuous relationship.

As Sia returned from Milan, her heart still soaring from the success of the fashion show, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled over her like a dark cloud. Something had changed in Arjun's demeanor since their return, his once warm and encouraging presence replaced by a cold and distant one.

With each passing day, Sia found herself subjected to Arjun's wrath, his anger palpable in every interaction. Gone were the days of camaraderie and support—now, she was treated with disdain and contempt, her efforts met with harsh criticism and relentless demands.

Arjun made it clear that he would stop at nothing to make her pay for her perceived transgressions, his punishments growing more severe with each passing day. He pushed her to work harder than ever before, demanding perfection at every turn and leaving her exhausted and drained.

But it wasn't just in her professional life that Arjun's punishment manifested itself. He began to use her for his personal errands, exploiting her position of power to serve his own needs without regard for her well-being.

And as the days turned into weeks, Sia found herself trapped in a nightmare of Arjun's making, her spirit crushed under the weight of his relentless cruelty. She longed for the days when she had danced on the runway with joy in her heart, but now, that joy seemed like a distant memory, overshadowed by the darkness that consumed her every waking moment.

Little did she know, Arjun's punishment was not just a means of asserting his dominance—it was a reflection of the turmoil raging within him, a turmoil born of jealousy and desire that threatened to consume them both. And as their paths collided once more, they would be forced to confront the demons that lurked beneath the surface, or risk losing everything they held dear.
