Four days had passed since Savita aunty and her family arrived at Vijay uncle's house.
Four long days—
And still…
Neither Om nor Vijay had figured out why they had really come.
At Om's request, Vijay hadn't questioned his elder brother much.
He kept things calm.
Polite.
Normal.
At least… on the surface.
But Om—
Om wasn't blind.
He had been watching.
Observing.
And one thing had become clear to him—
Savita didn't come here without a reason.
There was something behind it.
Something hidden.
Something… dangerous.
In these four days, Om had also introduced Harsh and Isha to his friends.
And the moment Harsh found out—
That Om's entire friend circle belonged to wealthy, elite families—
Something changed inside him.
A quiet jealousy.
A burning discomfort.
He didn't say it…
But it showed.
In his eyes.
In his tone.
In the way he looked at Om now.
Isha, on the other hand…
Was different.
Calm.
Soft-spoken.
Kind.
A true daddy's girl.
And Om soon realized—
Her father had told her a lot about him since childhood.
Stories.
Memories.
Respect.
Which is why—
There was a strange warmth in the way she looked at him.
Meanwhile…
In the guest room—
Savita sat alone.
Lost in thought.
She sat on the edge of the bed…
Elbows resting on her knees…
Hands supporting her chin…
Eyes fixed on the floor.
Unmoving.
Serious.
Heavy.
And slowly—
Her mind drifted back.
To a moment…
One month ago.
Flashback Begins…
Savita was sitting comfortably in her luxurious house.
Dressed in expensive clothes.
Covered in jewelry.
Looking every bit like a queen—
Of a crumbling empire.
Suddenly—
Manoj entered the room.
Along with his CA.
Dressed simply.
But his face—
Was anything but calm.
Without a word—
He threw a bunch of files in front of her.
The papers scattered across the table.
"Savita, what is all this?!"
His voice carried anger.
Frustration.
Desperation.
"Don't you understand?"
"Our company has been in loss for the past two years!"
"And you—"
He pointed at the papers.
"—you just keep spending money like it means nothing!"
Savita looked at him.
And smiled.
A calm, careless smile.
"So what's the problem?"
That one sentence—
Was enough.
"Problem?!"
Manoj's voice rose instantly.
"You are the problem, Savita!"
"Do you even understand what 'loss' means?!"
He stepped closer.
"Last month alone—you spent 2.5 lakhs on shopping!"
"And every month—you need at least 50,000 just to waste!"
"If this continues—"
"We'll go bankrupt!"
He slammed another file open.
"And what is this?!"
"You invested 5 lakhs in some useless shares—and now that's also gone!"
"What do you want, Savita?!"
"Do you even care about our children's future?!"
His voice cracked slightly.
"If the company collapses…"
"We'll have nothing left."
"No money for the kids."
"No savings."
"Even if we sell everything—we won't be able to clear the bank loans!"
"You remember that, don't you?!"
But instead of fear—
Savita's face filled with anger.
"Shut up!"
She stood up instantly.
Eyes blazing.
"Do you even remember why I married you?!"
Her words cut deep.
"I didn't like you."
"I married you because of your family's wealth."
"I wanted a comfortable life!"
Manoj froze.
"But who knew…"
"You were so unlucky."
"Right after marriage—you dragged everything into ruin!"
She stepped closer.
Pointing at herself.
"Don't forget—"
"This company exists because of me."
"This lifestyle exists because of me."
"If it wasn't for me…"
"I doubt you'd even be able to afford food!"
Manoj's hands clenched.
But he said nothing.
Savita turned away casually.
"Relax."
"If the company sinks—just declare bankruptcy publicly."
"And we'll move somewhere else."
"At least we'll save our property."
Her tone was cold.
Careless.
Heartless.
And at that moment—
Manoj realized something.
There was no point arguing anymore.
He turned…
And walked away.
Silently.
Flashback Continues…
Not long after—
The worst happened.
The company—
Collapsed.
It was officially declared bankrupt.
And just like that—
Everything began to fall apart.
Savita decided immediately—
They had to leave the city.
Disappear.
Start somewhere else.
But then—
Something unexpected happened.
A mysterious man entered her life.
Out of nowhere.
He made an offer—
A dangerous one.
In exchange for her properties—
He would give her…
50 crores.
And without hesitation—
Savita agreed.
She used that money—
To save the company temporarily.
But it was pointless.
The business was already sinking.
And no amount of money could truly fix it.
And then—
Her biggest mistake.
Despite everything—
She didn't stop spending.
Within just one month—
The entire 50 crores…
Gone.
Vanished.
Burned away.
But that wasn't the real problem.
The real problem—
Came after.
She had mortgaged her properties to that mysterious man.
But she didn't realize one thing—
When the company went bankrupt—
The government would seize everything.
And that's exactly what happened.
The properties—
Gone.
Which meant—
The man she had taken money from…
Had nothing left as security.
And when he found out—
He didn't hesitate.
He sent his men.
To find her.
To catch her.
To make her pay.
Now—
Savita understood.
The danger wasn't coming—
It was already here.
Panicked—
She gathered her family.
Took whatever jewelry and cash she could.
And disappeared.
Underground.
Hidden.
Running.
Planning to escape to another city.
Anywhere.
As long as it was far.
But then—
One moment changed everything.
While hiding—
She saw something on the news.
Something that made her freeze.
Her eyes widened.
Shock.
Disbelief.
Greed.
All at once.
She grabbed the phone.
Stared at the screen.
Closer.
Harder.
As if she had just seen something…
That shouldn't even exist in this world.
And slowly—
A dangerous smile began to form on her lips.
Because whatever she saw—
It wasn't just shocking.
It was an opportunity.
And that—
Was the real reason she had come here.
To Vijay's house.
