Recap of chapter 10 last part

Siya headed back to her room, her mind swirling with plans. But as she entered, she was startled to see a tall figure standing by the window. For a second, she wondered if she had walked into the wrong room, but when the man turned, she stopped in her tracks.

He was tall, with striking features and a calm yet intense gaze that held hers effortlessly. Siya’s breath caught as she took in his appearance, her anger momentarily forgotten. For a brief moment, neither of them said a word; they simply looked at each other, as though the world had paused just for them.

Finally, Siya found her voice, albeit weakly. “I… I think you have the wrong room…”

As she looked into his eyes, a glimmer of hope sparked within her. Maybe, just maybe, this was the beginning of something new, something that would help her rebuild her life on her own terms. And as she clutched the evidence she’d gathered against Jennifer, she knew she finally had the power to shape her destiny.

But the tall man replied confidently. " No I came to talk to you." This left siya in shock.

--------------------------------------------------------------

His presence was powerful yet comforting, and she was momentarily taken aback by his calm, warm expression.

"Miss Siya, how are you feeling? Are you in any pain?" Rajveer asked gently, observing her with concern.

Siya managed a small smile, though she was still surprised. "Thank you so much. I didn’t realize you were the one who helped me."

Rajveer gave a small nod. "I’m just glad you’re okay. I wanted to speak with you about something important. But first, let me introduce my daughter, Raha." He gestured, and a little girl peeked shyly from behind him. The girl had a delicate smile and seemed hesitant, clutching her father’s hand.

Siya leaned down with a warm smile. "Hello, Raha," she greeted her softly.

Raha stepped forward slightly and whispered, "You look beautiful... and please, accept my daddy's request. He's doing this for me."

Rajveer gently interrupted, “Raha, you can’t say things like that. You can't force anyone to do something they may not want. Why don’t you go wait outside with your bodyguard uncle, and I’ll talk to Miss Siya?”

Raha nodded and slipped out of the room with a small wave at Siya, who waved back.

Once alone, Rajveer turned back to Siya and explained, "Raha is my niece, actually. She’s my late brother and sister-in-law’s daughter. They passed away in a car accident when she was very young, and she was deeply traumatized. Since then, Raha’s struggled with autism, and she barely speaks to anyone. But for some reason, she’s connected with you."

He paused before continuing, “Raha… she wants you to be her mother. I know this is a lot to ask, but she’s not the only one who needs you. I also need someone who can care for her as a mother would, someone gentle and compassionate. If you’d be open to working as her nanny, I’d be happy to offer you a generous salary. You would live with us as well, so Raha has you around more often.”

Siya took a moment to absorb Rajveer’s words. A nanny… and a mother figure. She felt her heart soften at the thought of Raha’s connection with her, and she remembered how alone she had felt in the hospital. She nodded, saying, “I’m going to be going through a divorce soon, so this might be the fresh start I need. Once it’s finalized, I’ll be able to join you and Raha. For now, I’ll be staying with my mother.”

Rajveer gave her a thoughtful look. “If you’d like, I can help expedite the divorce process. Please don’t hesitate. I’ll do everything in my power to assist.”
