AUTHOR'S POV

In a secluded corner of the grand engagement party Karishma was deep in thought her mind spinning with frustration. She had been trying to figure out how to drive a wedge between Yash and Janhvi but hadn't come up with a solid plan yet. As she mulled over her options she was startled when Priya approached her with a sly smile.

Hi Priya said breaking Karishma's reverie.

Karishma turned to her surprised by the approach and replied with a curt smile not really in the mood for small talk. Priya pressed on her eyes glinting with intent. May I know your name?

Karishma a bit taken aback responded coldly Do I know you?

Priya chuckled softly and shook her head. No you don't. But I've been observing you all night and I can tell you don't like Janhvi and Yash together.

Karishma's eyes widened slightly in shock and she quickly tried to cover up. It's nothing like that. Janhvi is my cousin of course I like her.

But Priya wasn't buying it. She leaned in closer and whispered Relax. I overheard you and your mother talking about wanting to destroy their relationship. I believe in the saying The enemy of my enemy is my friend' so why don't we join hands?

Karishma hesitated for a moment assessing Priya's motives. Seeing her uncertainty Priya laid her cards on the table. I want Yash. I'm in love with him. I'm obsessed. He should be mine not Janhvi's. I can't stand the thought of them being together. I need to break them apart so that I can be the only woman in his life.

Hearing this Karishma's lips curled into a smirk. Finally she had found someone with the same goal. I see... So you want Yash all to yourself huh? she said her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Priya nodded fervently. Yes. He belongs to me and I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Karishma sensing an opportunity smiled deviously. Well then it seems it's good I came here today. We might just be able to help each other.

The two women exchanged a look of mutual understanding sealing their newfound alliance with a shared smirk. Together they began to plot how they would unravel the bond between Yash and Janhvi each driven by their own twisted desires.

Karishma leaned in closer to Priya her expression serious. I have one condition if you want my help.

Priya a bit taken aback replied Condition? I thought we had the same goal.

Karishma smirked her eyes narrowing. We do. But you need my help to make it happen.

Priya sighed realizing that she had little choice. Alright what's your condition?

Karishma's voice dropped to a whisper her tone calculating. Your connections...they're good right? I need you to get my father out of jail.

Priya's eyes widened in surprise. Your father is in jail? Why?

Karishma's expression darkened. He's in jail for raping Janhvi.

Priya gasped her shock evident. He raped Janhvi?

Karishma nodded slowly her face emotionless. Yes. And if you want to destroy their relationship and break Janhvi only my dad can do it. She's still terrified of him.
