Song:- Jee Karda.( Badlapur).

I never thought someone is worth fighting for...
But then I look into your eyes...
And, you are worth fighting for.....

Third POV.

Arjun Rajvansh was a man on a mission.

His eyes were a storm—raging, unforgiving. The silence within him was louder than a scream. The vision of her trembling, tear-streaked face had carved itself into his soul. And now, it haunted every breath he took.

He had vowed long ago never to kneel before anyone—not even his father. But for her, he was ready to defy bloodlines, legacies, and heaven itself. She was his, and that made her sacred.

He pushed open the colossal doors to the sitting room with the weight of thunder behind him.

Everyone turned.

"Well, well... look who finally blesses us with his royal presence." Chitra's voice sliced through the tension like a poisoned blade. "The great Yuvraj Arjun Rajvansh. After assaulting his elder brother, he dares to show his face?"

Arjun didn't flinch. His silence was dangerous. A quiet storm building.

"Bhai..." Arjun gave Krish a nod.

Krish, without a word, moved toward the ladies and gently led Grandma, Sampoorna Maa, and Vedika out of the room. As she passed, Vedika paused, eyes clouded with worry, her hand brushing Arjun's.

"Anaya..."

"Ved... Go. Bhai will take care of her." His voice was cold steel wrapped in fire.

Sampoorna halted briefly. "Arjun..."

"Go, Maa. I need you safe." His tone was composed, but beneath it lay concern only a mother could sense.

Once the room cleared, Arjun turned, locking eyes with his aunt.

"I'd suggest you and your daughter-in-law take a seat," he said, voice calm but laced with a lethal undertone. "You're about to witness what happens when someone touches my world."

Chitra and Shruti instinctively shrank into the cushions. Viraj shifted, pale and sweating.

Arjun stalked forward like a predator. "So... dear cousin," he drawled. "You claimed my wife seduced you, didn't you?"

"Enough!" Rana Udhav's voice thundered. "Arjun, just because I'm silent doesn't mean you can run wild."

"I'm not running wild, Dad." Arjun didn't look at him. His eyes were locked on Viraj. "I'm just asking for clarification from the man who dared insult my wife."

"I told you not to touch him—he's your brother!" Udhav warned again.

"I won't touch him. Yet. I want answers first," Arjun spat.

He turned back to Viraj, his gaze sharp enough to draw blood. "You said she tried to seduce you, right? Good. Then you won't mind if we all watch the CCTV footage from that night. I'm sure it'll be enlightening."

Viraj's throat went dry. He remembered that footage—Arjun had it. The truth. The damning truth.

"Ron!" Arjun called. "Get the arrival day footage. Now."

Ron rushed in, laptop in hand. Everyone leaned forward. Rana Shiv narrowed his eyes. Shruti smirked, expecting to enjoy Anaya's downfall.

The video played.
