Arjun's POV:

I was on the edge of losing my temper, ready to lash out at Veer Chauhan for his disgusting words, but just as I was about to speak, a loud bang echoed through the room.

I looked over to see Guruji, standing up, his eyes blazing with fury. The authority in his voice made everyone in the room freeze.

"Show them, Princess," Guruji said, his voice steady yet filled with anger. "Show them what the blood of Mine is capable of. Show them what my only daughter, Aarohi Mishra, can do."

"Show them what happens when they dare question Aarohi Arjun Sooryavanshi."

The air in the room grew thick, and I watched as a smirk slowly curled up on Aaru's lips. That smirk—oh, I knew that smirk too well.

It was the same one that appeared right before she destroyed anyone who dared cross her.

Guruji came and stood beside me, watching his daughter with pride, while I prayed for the poor fools in the room who were about to witness what happens when you push my devil baby too far.

Aaru clicked her tongue, her heels making sharp, deliberate sounds as she began to walk around the room. The atmosphere was suffocating, her sheer dominance filling the space.

Every step she took was heavy with authority, her aura so overwhelming that even the board members who had agreed with Veer were now squirming in their seats.

She stopped right in front of Veer, her eyes twinkling with a fake innocence. A smile spread across her face—sweet, sarcastic, and laced with danger.

"Oh, Mr. Chauhan," she began, her tone sickly sweet, "I do admire your concern for my abilities. Really, it's just so touching. But maybe, just maybe, instead of worrying about how I climbed the ladder, you should focus on how you've been...sliding down it. Wouldn't want to fall off entirely, now would we?"

Her words, as soft as they were, cut through the tension like a blade. Veer's smug expression faltered, but before he could respond, Aaru turned away and calmly walked back to stand beside me.

She called out, "Dhruv."

Dhruv appeared instantly. "Yes, Princess."

"Please call Papa. He's waiting outside."

My eyes widened slightly. Dad?

I exchanged a glance with Guruji, who merely shrugged. What was she planning now?

A few moments later, the door opened, and in walked Mr. Rathore—my father. He shook hands with Aaru, his expression unreadable, but there was a glint of something dangerous in his eyes.

"Good to see you, Mrs. Aarohi Sooryavanshi," Dad greeted her, formal but with a clear sense of respect.

Aaru smiled back, her voice equally formal. "The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Rathore."

I bit back a laugh, knowing full well they had probably come here in the same car. But this wasn't the time to joke.

I watched closely as Dad walked over to the head of the table, holding a small folder. He placed it down with a soft thud and opened it, revealing what I knew would be explosive.

"Mr. Chauhan, board members," Dad began, his voice calm and measured, "I have some documents here that might interest you. Let's call them... an insight into Mr. Chauhan's business practices. Along with a few of your colleagues here."

He flipped through the documents, sliding them across the table for the board members to see. Veer's face paled instantly as the evidence became clear—bribes, shady deals, and a clear abuse of power within Sooryavanshi Syndicate.
