Shivaay walked towards window.his each step commanding power.“he is rushing Because he wants panic. But remember, his strength is noise—ours is credibility. You are sanvi verma not some newcomer he can wipe out with a rumor. We need to get ahead of this.”

Ishita  paused, looking at him, her chest rising with sharp breaths.

“So what do you suggest? Silence will only let his lies spread.”

“We don’t play defense. We strike. Before he spreads a word, we announce the exclusive collection ourselves. Publicize the craftsmanship, the diamonds, the partnership. If we set the narrative, no one will believe his poison.”

Ishita eyes gleamed, half with anger, half with resolve.

“Then let’s make sure the world sees the truth—before his shadow even reaches it.”

Shivaay smirked slightly, his diamond-sharp confidence cutting through the tension.

“And once we save your name, sanvi… we’ll make sure his comes crashing down.”

Both exchanged amused glances with each other.after mahir incident shivaay tried to walk away from deal but mahir insisted.he convinced shivaay to continue this deal .

Ishita  phone buzzed again. This time, it wasn’t a journalist or client. Her face paled as she read the message.

her voice barely above a whisper, rushed with panic.

“shivaay police. They’re on their way.”

Shivaay jaw tightened, his calm demeanor now sharpened like a blade.

“He moved faster than I thought. He’s not just after your reputation, sanvi. He wants you finished. Arrest, scandal, humiliation—everything.”

Ishita clutched the table edge, her knuckles turning white.why he is doing this with her,she didn't even know him perfectly.

“But the jewels aren’t even due yet! We still have nine days. How can they believe this?”

She asked voice blazing with anger.shivaay sighed .a bitter smile escaped from his lips.

“Because Manav made sure they would. One forged document, one twisted report, and suddenly you’re guilty before you even speak.”

Her chest heaved. For the first time, after years fear flickered in her eyes.

“My entire career… my name… shivaay, if I go down in this scandal, everything I built will collapse.”

Shivaay stepped closer, his voice low but steady.

“Listen to me. You don’t have to be panic. You don’t run. That’s what he wants. We stand our ground and fight. We show proof—the contract, the receipts, the diamonds still being cut. If the police walk in here, they’ll see the truth with their own eyes.”

Ishita met his gaze, her fear slowly hardening into steel.

“And if Manav has already bought them? If he’s already poisoned their minds?”

Shivaay eyes darkened, he scoffed in anger.

“Then we play his game better than him. If he thinks he can destroy sanvi verma with lies, he’s about to learn what it means to fight the truth.”

At that moment, heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor outside. Sirens wailed faintly in the distance, growing closer.

Ishita straightened her shoulders, diamonds glinting on the tray beside her .fear was rushing through her spine but a quiet hope still lingered that shivaay is with her ...
