  The plan was simple, yet dangerous: Aanya would agree to meet Rohan, under the guise of wanting to understand him. The police would be nearby, ready to intervene. It was risky, but it was the only way to draw him out of hiding.

  Aanya hated the idea of seeing Rohan again, but she knew it was the only way to end the nightmare once and for all.

  She texted him.

  Aanya: We need to talk. I want to understand. Can we meet?

  The reply came quickly.

  Rohan: I knew you'd come around. I'll be waiting.

  The location he chose was a secluded park, far from the busy streets. As Aanya arrived, her heart pounded in her chest. She spotted him sitting on a bench, his back to her, the same calm posture he always had.

  Raj and his team were hidden, watching, ready to move.

  Aanya approached cautiously. "Rohan."

  He turned to face her, a small smile on his lips. "I knew you'd come back. We're meant to be, Aanya. You can feel it too, can't you?"

  But Aanya was done playing his game. "This isn't love, Rohan. This is obsession. And it ends now."

  At her words, Rohan's smile faded, replaced by a cold, calculating look. "You think you can stop this? You can't escape me."

  Just then, Raj and his team emerged, surrounding him. Rohan's expression darkened, but he didn't resist.

  As they cuffed him and led him away, Aanya felt a rush of relief wash over her. It was over. Finally, it was over.
