Jyotika's question hung in the air, and Radhika felt a storm brewing inside her. She didn't want to join her brother's company, but she also didn't want to reveal the truth about Rohan's intentions to Jyotika. She remained silent for a few minutes, trying to process her thoughts.

"Radhika, tumhe anne ma late kse ho gya? Time dekho, 5 pm bje gye h," Jyotika asked again, breaking the silence.

Radhika sighed and began to prepare dinner, her mind still racing with thoughts. Jyotika helped her in the kitchen, and they worked in silence for a while.

As they sat down to eat, Jyotika asked again, "So, Radhika, kya socha? Do you want to join your brother's company?"

Radhika gave her a look, unsure of what to say. She couldn't reveal the truth, but she also didn't want to lie to Jyotika. After a few moments of awkward silence, they began to eat, the tension between them palpable.

As they finished dinner and went to their respective rooms, Radhika couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. She knew she had to make a decision soon, but she was torn between her loyalty to Jyotika and her fear of her brother's intentions.

As she lay in bed, Radhika couldn't sleep, her mind racing with thoughts. She knew she had to protect Jyotika from Rohan's clutches, but she also didn't want to lose her friend's trust. The night wore on, and Radhika's anxiety only grew, the darkness outside mirroring the turmoil within her.

Suddenly, Radhika heard a noise outside her room. She got up and opened the door to find Rohan standing there, a sly smile on his face.

"Radhika, I know you're hesitant, but trust me, this is a great opportunity. You won't regret it," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Radhika felt a chill run down her spine. She knew she had to protect Jyotika from Rohan's clutches, but she also didn't want to confront him directly. She tried to stay calm and think of a plan, but her mind was a blank.

"Rohan, I need time to think," she said finally, trying to stall for time.

"Time is running out, Radhika. You need to make a decision soon," Rohan replied, his eyes glinting with a sinister light.

Radhika felt a surge of fear, but she also knew she couldn't give in to Rohan's demands. She needed to protect Jyotika and herself from his clutches, but she didn't know how. The night wore on, and Radhika's anxiety only grew, the darkness outside mirroring the turmoil within her.

...

Radhika's mind was racing as she sat in the car, her brother's words echoing in her mind. "I came to protect you, Radhika. That's why I offered you the position in my company."

But why now? She wondered. Why after all these years?

As they arrived at the mansion, Radhika's eyes widened in awe. She had never seen such opulence before.

"Welcome to my home, Radhika," Rohan said, his voice dripping with pride. "I want you to feel comfortable here. You're my sister, after all."

But Radhika couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Why was Rohan being so nice to her suddenly?

As they sat down in the living room, Radhika decided to break the silence. "Rohan, why did you come to me with this offer suddenly?" she asked, her voice shaking slightly.

Rohan's expression changed, and he leaned forward, his eyes glinting with intensity. "I told you, Radhika. I want to protect you. You're my sister, and I can't let anything happen to you."

But Radhika wasn't convinced. There was something more to it, she was sure. She decided to probe further. "But why now, Rohan? Why after all these years?"

Rohan's face darkened, and he stood up, his movements sudden and menacing. "You don't know what's going on, Radhika. You don't know what's at stake. But I'll tell you one thing - you're in danger. And I'm the only one who can protect you."

Radhika's heart was racing now. What was Rohan talking about? What danger was she in?

Suddenly, the lights in the room flickered, and Radhika heard a strange noise coming from outside. It sounded like someone was trying to get in.

Rohan's expression changed, and he quickly pulled out his phone. "I'll take care of this," he said, his voice low and dangerous.

As he walked out of the room, Radhika was left alone, her mind racing with questions. What was going on? Who was trying to get in? And why was Rohan being so secretive?

The suspense was killing her, and Radhika couldn't help but wonder what would happen next. Would she be able to uncover the truth behind Rohan's motives? Or would she be trapped in this mansion, at the mercy of her brother's whims? Only time would tell.

...

As Rohan came back into the room, Radhika felt a sense of relief wash over her. But it was short-lived, as Rohan's expression turned serious and he said, "It's a man from my company. No need to worry."

But Radhika's mind was racing with questions. "From whom are you protecting me?" she asked, her voice firm.

Rohan's grip on her wrist tightened, and he pulled her closer. "Radhika, you're not safe there. That's why I'm protecting you."

Radhika tried to pull away, but Rohan's grip was too strong. She felt a surge of fear and tried to reason with him. "Bhai, I don't need your protection. I can take care of myself."

But Rohan just laughed, his eyes glinting with a sinister light. "You don't know what you're dealing with, Radhika. You're in danger, and I'm the only one who can protect you."

Radhika's mind was racing with questions, but she didn't have the chance to ask any of them. Rohan's phone rang, and he answered it, his voice low and menacing.

As he listened to the person on the other end, Radhika saw his expression change from calm to furious. "What do you mean they're getting close?" he growled.

Radhika's heart was racing now. Who was Rohan talking to? And who was getting close?

Suddenly, Rohan's eyes locked onto hers, and he said, "Radhika, we need to leave. Now."

But Radhika was frozen in place, her mind racing with questions. Where were they going? And why?

As Rohan pulled her out of the room, Radhika stumbled after him, her heart racing with fear. What was happening? And why was Rohan being so secretive?

The questions swirled in her mind as they left the mansion and got into a car. Radhika didn't know where they were going, but she knew she had to escape. She couldn't trust Rohan, and she needed to find out what was going on.

As the car sped away from the mansion, Radhika made a decision. She would find out the truth, no matter what it took. And she would escape from Rohan's clutches, no matter what dangers lay ahead.
