That night, Aanya lay awake in bed, Raj's words echoing in her mind. She thought back to every interaction with Rohan—the charm, the cryptic remarks, the way he always seemed to know where she was. Could Raj be right? Could Rohan really be someone dangerous?
Unable to sleep, she grabbed her phone and opened a search engine. She typed in Rohan's name, hoping to find some information, anything that would give her clarity.
What she found made her blood run cold.
There were news articles, old but still accessible. One after another, they painted a picture of a man who had been involved in numerous cases of manipulation and stalking. Women who had been lured in by his charm, only to discover his darker side too late.
Aanya's hands trembled as she read the stories. The details matched her experiences too closely to ignore—the intense obsession, the careful control over their interactions. She felt sick to her stomach.
How could she have missed the signs?
Suddenly, her phone buzzed again.
Rohan: I know what you're thinking, Aanya. But it's not what it seems. I'll explain everything if you meet me tomorrow.
She stared at the message, her heart pounding in her chest. Could she trust him? Or was she walking into the web he had so carefully spun?
