Previously - Abhi saves Pragya from the chandelier . However, there is a tear in her dress and Dadi takes her away to change. Sanskar and Swara doubt that someone had purposefully cut the rope holding the chandelier. However, they keep this information a secret until they are sure of their doubt. Rishi and Tanuja seem like they are the only ones having a good time at the party. Elsewhere, Abhi is amused by Laksh's jealousy as he glares at Ragini getting buddy-buddy with Karan, the famous star. Finally, Laksh ends up confessing his love for her. Maya notices Samay smirking at her and realizes that it was Samay's doing. She follows him outside, with Arjun following her.

Now -

Chapter 17 - More Than What Meets the Eye

She fumed as she waited outside in the dark night to meet him. From the corner of her eyes, she saw him coming out of the party into the parking lot. At once, she marched up to him and glared at his smirking face. "One thing! Just. One. Little. Thing! That is all I told you to do. And yet, you couldn't even do that properly!?"

"Relax Tanu darling. You'll ruin your make up."

"Samay, I'm serious!"

"I'm serious as well. After all, you wouldn't want your age to show if your make up falls off, would you?" Samay said with a smirk.

"How dare you!?" Tanu raised her hand to hit him, only for it to be caught by him in a vice grip.

"Just because I was was your boyfriend once, doesn't mean I will tolerate you now. Watch it."

Tanu gulped seeing his glare. She knew how bad he could be for his enemies. "I...I'm sorry, alright? Its just that I can't bear that Pragya! I thought you would surely end her tonight. I never thought that the great Samay Randhawa would fail at such a tiny task."

Samay put a lock of hair behind her ear in a loving gesture. "Darling, even the best ones have their bad days, don't they? But don't you worry. I'll take care of her for you. After all, you were once my girlfriend."

"You sure you don't want any help? I can ask Nikhil to help yo-"

"No need. Samay works alone Tanu. You can go home and relax. Soon Pragya will be out of your way." Tanu nodded, convinced and drove off in her car. Samay chuckled as he looked on. 'Foolish girl. I could have ended that Pragya if I wanted to tonight. The reason I put her in danger was not for you Tanu, but because I wanted to test Maya. You're just a pawn in my game. I'm the King who wants his Queen, Maya, for himself! And I'm willing to do anything to get her.'
