Virindhra's voice dripped with bitterness as he spoke, "I wanted the Raghuvanshi property. Your grandparents decided to write the property in Rahul's name just because I molested a girl when I was 20. He was only 19! I despised him for it."

He continued, rage boiling beneath the surface. "All my friends criticized me for what happened, which is why I orchestrated the accident that harmed my own brother and his wife. But that bastard Rahul was always one step ahead. He knew about my intentions and, as a result, transferred all the Raghuvanshi properties into the name of his son, Neil."

Virindhra's voice grew louder, tinged with desperation. "I had to keep them hidden and protect them. That was the reason I adopted Neil. But then, this bastard overheard me talking about my plans, and he threatened me. He said he would reveal everything to my son. I resorted to using his parents to blackmail him."

He took a moment, his voice steadying, as he revealed his ulterior motives. "I had a desire to marry Kiaan to Karan Malhotra's daughter. When I learned about Aradhya's identity as Ahuja, I thought she was poor. I remembered the day you came to me, claiming that she was pregnant and that you were willing to accept the child. I couldn't let that happen, so I instructed Neil to blackmail Kritika. I sent her compromising photos of another man alongside Aradhya's intimate picture, making you believe the baby wasn't yours." He directed his gaze at Kiaan, a sinister satisfaction playing on his lips.

Kiaan sat in stunned silence, the revelation crashing over him like a wave. Memories of the past three years flooded his mind, each moment tinged with confusion and regret.

Kiaan felt a knot of anxiety in his stomach as he sat in the living room, preparing to share news that could change everything. His father, Virindhra and Kritika were already seated, their curious expressions a mix of skepticism and expectation.

"Um, Dad. There's something important I need to tell you," Kiaan stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

Virindhra glanced up from his newspaper, his stern gaze piercing through Kiaan. Kritika crossed her arms, narrowing her eyes with suspicion.

"Well, spit it out, Kiaan. What's so important?" Virindhra demanded, impatience creeping into his tone.

Kiaan took a deep breath, mentally steeling himself for the storm that would surely follow. "I... I'm going to be a father. Aradhya is pregnant."

Kritika scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically. "Oh please, Kiaan. You really think we're going to believe that? She's just after your money," she retorted, dismissing his news.

"Mind your words, Kritika. It's true," Kiaan shot back, his voice rising with frustration. "I've seen the ultrasound, and Aradhya is genuinely pregnant. I love her and I want to take responsibility for our child."
