As Vivaan stepped into his room that night, a sense of unease settled over him like a heavy blanket.

Aarna was nowhere to be seen, and that alone set off alarm bells in his mind.

Without pausing to second-guess himself, he walked out of the room, scanning the house for any sign of her.

After the events of the previous night, he needed to make things right, whatever it took.

His search led him to the kitchen, where he found Sara fixing herself a glass of milk.

The sight of her instantly brought a small flicker of warmth to his heart. Despite only knowing her for a short while, Sara had already become one of his favorite people.

"Hey, Viv," she greeted him with a smile.

Sara understood him in a way few others did. She knew when he needed space to be alone with his thoughts and when he craved the comfort of other people.

She was always there for him, offering kindness and support without hesitation. In many ways, she felt more like a friend than a sister-in-law, and for that, he was grateful beyond words.

"Have you seen Aarna?" He questioned.

"Aarna? She left for her parents house this afternoon. I thought you knew,"

"She left?" He asked, not believing his ears. She left. Just like that. Without telling him. At the back of his head he knew this was something that was going to happen some time or the other but when it finally did, he was left with a feeling he never felt before.

"Viv? Are you alright?" Sara asked, breaking his chain of thoughts.

Clearing his throat he nodded his head and turned around to get back to his room.

Back in his room he called Aarna, and like the afternoon she ignored his call. He called again being persistent when she finally answered.

"Vivaan..." A sense of small relief fell through him. She was alright and fine.

"Where are you?" He asked without beating around the bush.

"At my house,"

"Seraphina Villa is your house,"

"I need some time to figure things out..."

He didn't know what to say to that. This was the first time he was left speechless.

"How much?" He asked when he finally got back his voice.

"I-i don't know," she sighed in uncertainty as she cut the call.

The phone was at his ear for about 2 minutes before he put it down.

He lifted it again and called her bodyguard. "Stay behind her at all times. If something happens to her, consider yourself dead." Saying this he cut the call.

-

The main reason Aarna was in a hurry to leave was a message. A message that had pictures of her. Pictures from Seraphina Villa. The place where even an ant couldn't move without being caught.

She didn't want to involve Vivaan so she left. She needed space from him so she couldn't get lost in her problems with him and focus more on the important ones. Her stalker. He was back and he somehow had access to Seraphina Villa.
