The next morning, Vani didn't show up at the office. Henry's anger was explosive. He paced his office like a predator, his mind racing with dark thoughts. She dared to defy him, and that was unacceptable.

Without wasting another moment, he ordered Marco to assemble his men. "We're going to the Rathore residence. If she thinks she can hide, she's wrong."

When Henry arrived at the grand Rathore estate, his convoy of black cars and armed guards caused immediate panic.

He stormed into the house, his eyes blazing with fury. The Rathore family gathered in the living room, alarmed by his sudden and aggressive intrusion.

"Where is she?" Henry demanded, his deep voice echoing through the room.

Vani's father, standing protectively in front of his family, said firmly, "Mr. Cavill, you are crossing the line. Leave my house at once!"

Henry's lips curled into a dangerous smirk. "Crossing the line? That's rich, coming from someone who's trying to hide what's mine. I'll ask one last time-where is Vani?"

Rudra stepped forward, his fists clenched. "She's not coming with you, Henry. Leave now, or I'll-"

Before Rudra could finish, Henry gave a signal to his guards. In an instant, two guns were drawn and aimed at Rudra and Mr. Rathore's heads. Gasps filled the room as Vani's mother clutched her chest in fear.

"Stop this madness!" her father yelled, his voice shaking.

Henry's voice was like ice. "If Vani doesn't come out in the next ten seconds, I will shoot. Believe me, I never bluff."

Inside her room, Vani was trembling. She could hear Henry's threats and the chaos outside. Her mother stood by the door, refusing to let her out. "You won't go, Vani," she whispered fiercely. "He's dangerous."

Manasvi sat beside Vani, holding her hand tightly. "He can't do anything if you stay here. Your family will protect you."

But Rudra's voice rang out, desperate and loud. "Vani, don't come out! No matter what, stay inside!"

Hearing her brother's voice and knowing her family was in danger, Vani's resolve crumbled. Tears streaming down her face, she whispered, "I can't let them die."

Manasvi grabbed her shoulders. "No! You can't face him. He'll destroy you, Vani!"

But Vani pushed Manasvi away and bolted toward the door. Her mother tried to stop her, but it was too late. She ran down the stairs, her heart pounding.

"Henry, stop!" she screamed, stepping into the living room.

Henry turned toward her, his smirk widening. The sight of her trembling figure fueled his twisted satisfaction. "There you are darling," he said smoothly, lowering his hand to signal the guards to stand down.
