Chapter 2 - Episode 2: A Deal with the Devil's Bride

Rohit arrived at a quiet, high-end café in South Delhi. He had looked

up Siya Khanna before coming—she was the daughter of a powerful

industrialist, engaged to Aarav Mehta for business reasons rather than

love.

And now, she had called him.

He spotted her easily. Dressed in a sharp beige blazer and minimal

jewelry, she radiated an effortless confidence that came from years of

privilege. As he sat down, she studied him, as if sizing up a

potential business deal.

"You look exactly how I expected," she said.

"Not sure if that's a compliment," he replied dryly.

She smirked. "You're a common man, Mr. Verma. And that's exactly why I

need you."

Rohit leaned back. "I don't do favors for billionaires."

"You might want to hear me out first," she said, sipping her coffee.

"Aarav was supposed to be engaged to me. It was a business

arrangement, not love. But now, he wants to call it off—because of

your ex."

Rohit clenched his fists under the table. He had suspected this, but

hearing it confirmed made his stomach churn.

Siya continued, "I don't care about Aarav personally. But breaking the

engagement is an insult to my family. I can't let that happen."

Rohit scoffed. "So, what do you expect me to do? Get her back? Because

that's not happening."

She leaned forward. "I want to break them up. If Aarav doesn't have

Ananya, he'll have no choice but to go through with our engagement."

Rohit exhaled sharply. "And why would I help you?"

She smiled slightly. "Because she left you for him. Don't you want to

see her realize that she made a mistake?"

For a brief moment, Rohit felt a flicker of temptation. But then, he

shook his head. "This is pathetic."

Siya's expression darkened. "Excuse me?"

"You're wasting time, emotions, and effort on someone who clearly

doesn't care about you. Have some self-respect."

She looked stunned, as if no one had ever said that to her.

Rohit continued, "You want revenge? Fine. But don't try to 'win' Aarav

back—it's meaningless. Let's do something for ourselves, not for

them."

Siya tilted her head. "And what do you suggest?"

He took a deep breath, then smirked. "Something small. Just enough to

vent frustration and move on."

Siya narrowed her eyes. "Go on."

"First, we break something Ananya loves—her expensive beauty set and

mirror."

Siya raised an eyebrow. "And for Aarav?"

Rohit grinned. "His Porsche 911."

Siya actually chuckled. "That car is his baby."

"Exactly."

She sat back, considering. "And if we get caught?"

"You'll use your money and influence to get me out."

She smirked. "And if I refuse?"

Rohit pulled out his phone and hit record. "Then I'll have proof that

this was your idea too."

Siya's eyes flashed with amusement. "Smart. I like that."

She extended a hand. "Deal?"

Rohit shook it. "Deal."
