The moment Kabir Rajvansh left, the air around Meera Verma felt different.
He was gone…
But his words stayed.
"I'm not going to run anymore."
And for the first time… Meera felt something heavier than confusion.
Fear.
Not of him.
But of what was coming because of him.
She walked back home in silence that day.
But it didn't feel like peace.
It felt like waiting.
Like something was already moving toward her… slowly… invisibly.
That night, Kabir sat in his underground war room.
Screens flickered around him.
Data. Faces. Threats.
But his focus was sharp on one thing.
A new name.
A signal that had entered his system an hour ago.
"Boss," his man said carefully, "this is not local."
Kabir's eyes darkened.
"Then what is it?"
A pause.
"International."
Silence.
Even Kabir didn't speak for a moment.
Because that changed everything.
Slowly, he stood up.
"This isn't about business," he said quietly.
His assistant hesitated. "Then what is it?"
Kabir's voice dropped lower.
"It's about her."
Meanwhile…
Meera was at home, trying to study.
But her hands kept freezing.
Her mind kept drifting.
Outside her window… the street was too quiet.
Too still.
Then—
A sound.
A car.
Stopping.
Not passing.
Stopping.
Meera's heart jumped.
She slowly stood up and moved toward the window.
And then she saw it.
Not Kabir's car.
Another one.
Black.
Unknown.
Watching.
Her breath caught.
She stepped back instantly.
But it was too late.
Because this time…
she was being seen by someone else.
Not protected.
Not watched by him.
Far away…
Kabir's screen flashed red.
His expression changed instantly.
"Move," he ordered.
His men froze.
"Boss?"
Kabir grabbed his coat.
"She's been found."
Meera heard footsteps outside her house.
Slow.
Deliberate.
Not random.
Intentional.
Her hand shook as she tried to lock the door.
But before she could—
A voice came from outside.
Low.
Cold.
"Meera Verma."
She froze.
Her name.
Spoken by a stranger.
Not Kabir.
And for the first time…
she understood the real meaning of danger.
At the same moment…
Kabir Rajvansh's car was already speeding through the night.
Eyes burning.
Jaw clenched.
No hesitation left.
No distance anymore.
Only one thought in his mind.
They touched her world…
Now I burn theirs.
To be continued… 💔
