Kiara's POV
The drive to the hospital felt endless.
Kiara's hands tightened around the steering wheel.
Her mind refused to process what Ananya had said.
Aarushi… accident.
No.
That couldn't be happening.
Not to her sister.
Not tonight.
When Kiara finally reached the hospital, she rushed inside.
"ICU," the receptionist said.
Kiara ran down the hallway.
Her heart pounded violently.
Then she saw Aarushi.
Lying on the hospital bed.
Bandages wrapped around her leg.
Machines beeped softly beside her.
Kiara felt her chest tighten painfully.
A doctor approached her.
"She has a concussion and two fractures in her leg."
Kiara held her breath.
"But she will recover."
Relief flooded through her body.
She walked out of the ICU and found Ananya waiting outside.
"What happened?" Kiara asked quietly.
Ananya looked exhausted.
"There was a bike," she said.
"He drove straight toward us."
Kiara's eyes narrowed.
Straight toward them.
Not an accident.
Someone had aimed for Aarushi.
And Kiara intended to find out who.
Kiara stood outside the ICU, her reflection staring back at her through the glass.
Her sister was lying unconscious because of someone out there.
Someone who thought they could hurt Aarushi and walk away.
A dangerous calm settled inside Kiara.
Because the moment she found him—
that man would wish the accident had killed him.
