Author's pov:

The sky was just beginning to lighten, hues of pale orange streaking across the horizon, signaling the arrival of dawn.

The rain had stopped, but the air still carried the earthy scent of wet soil, wrapping the city in a damp silence.

Inside Rajvansh Palace, the atmosphere was thick with tension.

It had been eight long hours since Shivani disappeared. Eight hours of guilt, fear, and regret. No one had slept. No one even thought of resting. They were waiting, hoping... for any sign of her.

But there is no single word from her.

No sign.

No trace.

The palace, usually alive with warmth and laughter, now felt like a graveyard of regret.

Guari sat on the sofa, her face became pale. Her heart felt heavy with guilt and regret.

Beside her, Vaidehi wept silently, her guilt eating her from the inside. Neither Arha nor Adhi's consoling words could reach them.

Some wounds weren't meant for bandages - they needed redemption.

After Abhimanyu left, rage had erupted inside the palace. Vaidehi had slapped Preeti hard across the face and physically kicked her and her family out of the house. No second chances.

Adhi, had turned to Anjali and asked her to leave the house as well.

Meenakshi ji, her heart broken, she cut her ties with Anjali permanently

"You are no longer part of this family. Don't ever step into this house again," she'd said with finality.

But no action, no punishment could undo what had already been done.

For Abhimanyu, each of the last eight hours had felt like a lifetime.

Never before had he felt this kind of helplessness. This deep void. This fear.

It felt as though someone had stolen the very air he breathed - his heart ripped from his chest.

If something happened to Shivani...
He wouldn't survive it.

And for Dheeraj and his team, it had been eight hours of hell. The pressure of Abhimanyu's wrath loomed constantly. The longer they failed to find a clue, the more dangerous the silence became.

But finally, finally.. one of the city's outer CCTV cameras caught something.

The black SUV.

It had traveled far.. toward the outskirts of the city.

But after that footage, the trail went cold.

Dheeraj rushed into the operations room, where Abhimanyu was seated, his eyes fixed on the laptop screen like a hawk ready to strike.

" Sir," Dheeraj began urgently, " we tracked the SUV. It moved toward the forest side, but there are two possibilities. Either they went deeper into the forest-making it hard for tracking-or..."

He paused.

"There's an old factory, closed down for almost two decades. It belongs to Sandeep Kapoor."

Abhimanyu's gaze sharpened instantly.

"Connecting the dots, sir... it was Sandeep who launched that attack on you when you first returned to India. His son, Zaid, misbehaved with Shivani ma'am... and now, both father and son are your known enemies. Putting that together-I'm certain it's Zaid who abducted her."
