Deepak Sharma's POV
I opened my eyes to the dull light of dawn streaming in through the blinds. After freshening up, I was about to head for my morning espresso when my phone buzzed. Srividya, my PA.
"Tell me, Srividya," I answered, half-expecting it to be a routine call.
But her voice cracked through the speaker like a whip.
"Sir, we're in serious trouble... Arjun Singhania knows."
I froze. My heartbeat dropped for a second.
"He knows we killed his brother. Sir... we're not safe anymore."
Damn it. I made sure everything was clean. I was careful. Meticulous. How the hell did he find out?
"You there, sir?" Her voice snapped me back.
"Yes. I'm here. Tighten the security around my house and office. Also, arrange a meeting with Arjun... urgently," I said and cut the call.

Flashback Begins
I never planned to kill Arnav Singhania. It wasn't premeditated. I was simply passing by that night. I saw Arnav on top of a car, a girl struggling beneath him.
He was trying to force himself on her.
I intervened. Slapped him hard. Tried to pull her away. But she-
She snapped. Picked up an iron rod and struck his head. Again and again. Blood sprayed. He collapsed.
I yanked her off him and pushed her into my car. She trembled like a leaf, tears soaking her face.
"I... I can't believe he touched me... He was trying to..." She couldn't finish.
"Shh... Give me your address. I'll drop you. It's not safe here." My voice softened despite the chaos in my head.
"I can't go back..." she whispered.
I gave her water. She was clearly in shock. I stepped out and dialed Vijay, a trusted cop and an old friend.
"Bro, what's up?" he answered.
"I messed up. I found a girl being assaulted. She killed the guy in panic. I... I think he's dead."
"What the hell? Who?"
"Arnav Singhania."
Silence. Then: "Shit. Deepak. You're in deep waters."
"I know. I'm dropping her at her hostel."
"No! That's dangerous. If Arjun finds her, she's finished. Keep her hidden. Protect her."
I hung up. Turned to find her standing by the car, shivering. Her innocence was striking. Vulnerable... and beautiful.
"I'm sorry for the trouble, sir... Thank you for saving me," she said quietly and started walking away.
"No. Stop." My voice was sharp. I grabbed her elbow and pushed her back into the car.
"You're not going anywhere. Arjun will hunt you down. You stay with me now."
"I don't want to be a burden..."
"Look," I said, trying not to lose my temper, "I have a sister. I know what it means for a girl to go through something like this. Just do as I say."
She went quiet.

We reached my penthouse. I opened the door with my fingerprint and guided her inside.
"You're safe here. My sister's clothes are in the upstairs closet. Change into something comfortable."
