Arjun Sherawat's private estate—a luxurious, dimly lit study with leather chairs, dark wood paneling, and shelves lined with rare books. The air smells faintly of cigars and whiskey. Arjun sits in a high-backed chair, his demeanor calm but dangerous, his sharp eyes focused on Mansi as she walks in with Aarav.

Mansi entered the room first, her presence commanding attention as she strode confidently towards Arjun. Aarav followed close behind, his expression hardening as he took in the opulent surroundings. 

He was nervous but masked it with a look of determination. Mansi, dressed in a form-fitting black saree, exuded an air of danger and elegance.

"Arjun, I've brought someone who can be very useful to us," Mansi began, her voice smooth and persuasive as she glanced back at Aarav. "Meet Aarav. He has a score to settle with Shivansh, just like we do. I think he could be a valuable ally." said 

Arjun's eyes flickered with interest as he sized up Aarav. He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. "Aarav," he repeated, his tone assessing. "You want revenge on Shivansh? What makes you think you have what it takes to join forces with me? For what wasting my men and energy. You both fucked my plan." said Arjun.

Aarav straightened, his jaw clenched as he met Arjun's piercing gaze. " Shivansh has taken everything from me. My reputation, my position, and even my parents. He thinks he's untouchable, but I know his weakness—Kashi, his wife. If we can get to her, we can destroy him." he said, his voice laced with anger.

Arjun's expression remained unreadable, but a flicker of interest sparked in his eyes. He leaned forward slightly, intrigued. "Kashi, she's his Achilles' heel, isn't she? If we control her, we control him." he mused.

Mansi nodded, a cruel smile playing on her lips. "Exactly. Shivansh would do anything to protect her. That's why I suggest we take her—kidnap her, use her to bend him to our will, and when she's no longer of any use, we eliminate her." said Mansi.

Arjun's smirk grew more sinister as he considered the plan. He could see the potential in it, the power they would wield over Agastya by having Kashi in their grasp. "Kidnap her, use her, and then dispose of her. It's risky, but the rewards are worth it. Shivansh would be shattered." he repeated, savouring the idea.

Aarav, who had been listening intently, felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. The thought of Kashi in their hands, broken and vulnerable, filled him with a dark sense of satisfaction. "She'll be the key to his downfall. I'm in. Whatever it takes, I'm willing to do it." Aarav said, his voice firm.

Mansi turned to Aarav, her eyes gleaming with approval. "Good. With you on our side, Shivansh won't stand a chance. We'll take everything from him, just like he took everything from you." said Mansi.

Arjun stood up, walking around his desk to stand in front of Aarav. He extended his hand, a sign of their newfound alliance. "Welcome to the team, Aarav. Together, we'll make sure Agastya regrets ever crossing us." said Arjun.

Aarav shook Arjun's hand, sealing the deal. There was no turning back now. He had made his choice, and he would see it through, no matter the cost.

Mansi watched the exchange with satisfaction, already imagining the chaos they would unleash. "We'll need to move quickly. Kashi won't be easy to capture, but with the right plan, we can pull it off." said Mansi.

Arjun nodded, his mind racing with possibilities. "I'll have my men ready. We'll take her when she least expects it, and once she's in our hands, Shivansh will be powerless."

The three of them stood in silence for a moment, each lost in their own thoughts. The plan was set, and soon, Kashi would be theirs. Shivansh Pratap Singh would pay for his arrogance, and they would rise to power in his place.
