The room was silent. But this time the silence did not feel frightening. There was a faint sense of hope in it.
Priya was still thinking about Arjun's words. Her heart was beating fast.
Arjun slowly walked to the window and stood there.
"Think carefully," he said. "My world is not easy."
Priya placed the glass on the table. The fear in her eyes had faded, and courage had taken its place.
"What if I refuse?" she asked.
Without turning back, Arjun replied,
"Then I will let you leave right now. Your life will stay the same as it was before."
Priya stayed quiet.
She remembered that rainy night — when she was standing alone on the road and Hardik's voice echoed in her ears—
"I never loved you."
Her fists tightened. She didn't want to be weak again.
Priya took a deep breath and said,
"I'm ready."
Arjun slowly turned around. There was a faint shine in his eyes.
"Do you even know what you're agreeing to?" he asked.
Priya looked straight into his eyes and replied,
"No. But I know one thing… I don't want to go back to the life I had before."
Arjun watched her for a few moments. Then a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Good," he said.
"Because your training starts today."
Priya was surprised.
"Training?"
Arjun said,
"In this world, power doesn't come from money alone. Power comes from intelligence, courage, and the decisions you make."
He walked to the table, picked up a file, and handed it to Priya.
"This is your new schedule."
Priya opened the file.
Wake up at 5 a.m…
Fitness training…
Business classes…
Personality development…
And meetings with Arjun in the evening.
"All this… for me?" Priya asked in disbelief.
Arjun said in a serious voice,
"If you want to become the most powerful woman in this city, you will have to work ten times harder than ordinary people."
Priya slowly closed the file. Her fear was slowly turning into determination.
Just then Arjun said,
"And remember one thing…"
Priya looked at him.
Arjun's eyes were cold and serious.
"Once you step into my world… there is no way back."
Priya's heart stopped for a moment. But she still nodded.
"I accept."
Arjun smiled slightly.
"Then welcome, Priya… to my world."
Outside, the rain had started pouring heavily again.
And with that rain, it felt like Priya's old life was finally coming to an end.
What will happen next?
The next morning, Priya's training will begin. But outside the gym, she will meet a boy — holding Priya's old photograph, the same one she had thrown away…
Who is that boy? And how did he find Priya?
