One month later.

For the first time in years, things seem peaceful.

Kavya and Ekansh are finally together.

No misunderstandings.

No secrets.

No walls between them.

At least...

That's what they think.

Singhania Mansion Garden

A beautiful evening.

Fairy lights glow around the garden.

Ekansh nervously holds a small velvet box.

Bodyguard: Boss... are you nervous?

Ekansh: No.

Bodyguard: Your hands are shaking.

Ekansh: Leave before I fire you.

The bodyguard quickly leaves.

For the first time, the feared Mafia King is nervous.

Because tonight...

He plans to propose.

Before Kavya arrivesโ€”

A black car stops outside the mansion.

An elderly man steps out.

Kavya's uncle.

Mr. Rajeev Sharma.

A man Kavya has trusted her entire life.

Bodyguard: Sir, he says it's urgent.

Ekansh frowns.

Ekansh: Let him in.

Inside the office.

Rajeev: Vikram is planning something tonight.

Ekansh: How do you know?

Rajeev: Because I've been tracking him.

Ekansh studies him carefully.

Something feels wrong.

Very wrong.

Later that night.

Kavya accidentally discovers an old photograph among her late brother's belongings.

The photo shows:

โ€ขHer brother Rohan

โ€ขEkansh's parents

โ€ขVikram's father

And...

โ€ขHer uncle Rajeev.

Kavya freezes.

Why was her uncle connected to all of them?

๐™๐™๐™š ๐™๐™ง๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™๐™ฃ๐™›๐™ค๐™ก๐™™๐™จ

Kavya confronts Rajeev.

Kavya: Uncle... why are you in this photograph?

Rajeev's smile disappears.

For the first time...

She sees something cold in his eyes.

Something frightening.

Rajeev: You weren't supposed to find that.

Kavya's heart drops.

๐™๐™๐™š ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง๐™ข๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™™

Meanwhile...

Ekansh receives information from an old investigator.

Investigator: Sir, we've confirmed everything.

Ekansh: Confirmed what?

Investigator: Rajeev Sharma wasn't helping Vikram.

Silence.

Investigator: He was controlling him.

Ekansh immediately stands.

Ekansh: What?!

๐™๐™๐™š ๐™‚๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐˜ฝ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฎ๐™–๐™ก

Kavya stares at her uncle in horror.

Kavya: Tell me this isn't true.

Rajeev sighs.

Then...

He starts laughing.

A chilling laugh.

Rajeev: After all these years...

The truth finally comes out.

Kavya begins shaking.

Rajeev: I planned everything.

Kavya: No...

Rajeev: Ekansh's parents.

Vikram's family.

The gang wars.

The attacks.

Everything.

๐™๐™ค๐™๐™–๐™ฃ'๐™จ ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™–๐™ฉ๐™

Kavya's eyes fill with tears.

Kavya: My brother...

Rajeev remains silent.

That silence says enough.

Kavya steps back.

Kavya: No...

Rajeev: Rohan became a problem.

Kavya's breath catches.

Rajeev: He discovered my secrets.

So I removed him.

Kavya's entire world shatters.

Abandoned Factory

Ekansh arrives with his men.

Rajeev is waiting.

Kavya stands nearby.

Tears streaming down her face.

Ekansh: It's over.

Rajeev: No.

It's just beginning.

A gunfight erupts.

Chaos spreads everywhere.

๐™๐™๐™š ๐˜พ๐™๐™ค๐™ž๐™˜๐™š

During the fightโ€”

Rajeev grabs Kavya.

And points a gun at her.

Rajeev: Drop your weapon!

Ekansh immediately lowers his gun.

Without hesitation.

Without question.

Because Kavya matters more than victory.

More than revenge.

More than everything.

๐™‡๐™ค๐™ซ๐™š ๐™’๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™จ

Suddenlyโ€”

Kavya pushes Rajeev away.

Kavya: No more!

The gun falls.

Ekansh immediately tackles Rajeev.

The police storm inside moments later.

The mastermind is finally arrested.

As Rajeev is dragged awayโ€”

He looks at Ekansh.

Rajeev: You should've killed me.

Ekansh: Maybe.

Ekansh glances at Kavya.

Then back at Rajeev.

Ekansh: But she taught me there's another way.

For the first time...

Ekansh chooses justice instead of revenge.

Outside the factory.

The sun begins to rise.

Kavya stands silently.

Watching the sky.

Ekansh: Are you okay?

Kavya turns toward him.

Tears fill her eyes.

Kavya: I lost my family today.

Ekansh gently takes her hand.

Ekansh: No.

He squeezes it softly.

Ekansh: You still have me.

Kavya breaks down crying and hugs him.

This time...

She never lets go.

And neither does he.
