The room felt colder than before.
Arjun stood still, his eyes fixed on Maya.
Everything he thought he knew about her… was slowly breaking apart.
"You said people are after you," he spoke quietly.
"But why?"
Maya didn't answer immediately.
Instead, she looked around—as if even the walls could hear her secrets.
"Because I was never supposed to survive," she finally said.
Arjun frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Maya looked at him… and for the first time—
Fear was clearly visible in her eyes.
