Chapter Title: "When Fire Meets Fire"

A New Morning, A Brewing Storm
Three days had passed. In these days, Abhiyansh stayed with Avika at his mansion, taking care of her. Meanwhile, he had arranged for the other rescued girls to be shifted to an orphanage.
Tension in the Living Room
Abhiyansh was feeding Avika breakfast when his phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen, and his expression hardened as he saw "Dadaji" flashing on the display.
Answering the call, he listened in silence, his grip on the phone tightening. His eyes darkened with anger, but before he could respond, the call disconnected.
Sliding his phone back into his pocket, he stood up. “Avika, finish your breakfast and stay inside. I’ll be back soon.” Without waiting for her response, he turned and walked toward his room to grab his blazer and car keys.
Avika watched him anxiously. The moment he came downstairs, she rushed to him.
“But Avyu, where are you going? You know I can’t stay without you,” she said, her voice filled with worry.
“I’m a businessman, Avika. I have work to do,” he replied firmly. “Stay home. I’ll be back soon.”
Avika clutched his arm. “But I feel uneasy—”
Before she could finish, he had already walked out, leaving her standing there, worried and confused.

Khushi’s Wrath
On the other side of the city, Khushi was seething with rage. Just a while ago, she had been celebrating her victory, but then Mr. Singhania had called her, saying something that made her blood boil. Her eyes burned with fury, and she clenched her fists.
Snatching up her phone, she dialed a number. “Get that Rao to Hell Mansion. I’m coming.”
Without wasting another second, she grabbed her blazer and stormed out.

Collision Course
Half an hour later, in the middle of a busy street, an argument broke out.
A furious girl glared at the guy standing before her. “Are you blind, or do you just not know how to drive? If you can’t handle a car, why are you even on the road?!”
The man scowled, his voice sharp with irritation. “Mind your language, stupid girl! And how dare you raise your voice at me?”
The girl scoffed. “What? Are you some kind of king that no one can talk back to? You made a mistake, and now you’re acting like a victim!”
Her hands balled into fists as she took a step forward.
The man smirked, pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, and tossed it toward her. “I know girls like you. Always looking for drama just to squeeze out money. Here, take this and get out of my way.”
The girl’s eyes flared with fury. She picked up a rock and smashed the windshield of his luxury car.
He froze.
She smirked and pulled out her own bundle of cash, slapping it against his chest. “Just in case your ego is as fragile as your car’s glass, here’s the money to fix it.”
The man clenched his jaw, his knuckles turning white. “Don’t ever cross my path again, or you’ll regret it.”
She raised an eyebrow. “Trust me, I’d rather die than look at your ugly face again. Now move.”
With that, she stepped into her car and drove off, brushing past him as if he were invisible. The man’s car followed hers a second later, leaving behind the bundle of cash, which the gathered bystanders eagerly grabbed.
(And for those of you who guessed that these two were none other than Abhiyansh and Khushi—congratulations! You were absolutely right. Their fiery tempers were bound to clash, and this was just the beginning!)
