After breakfast, Pia saw the watch on her wrist and then said to everyone, "Sorry, everyone I have to leave for work." Vihan saw her and then said with an annoyed smile, "Looks like someone's in a hurry to keep their secrets safe. Don't worry, your mysteries are safe with me. Come on, we will go together. As after all, I am your boss." Pia forced a smile and left hoping Vihan wouldn't push the issue further.
Arjun was shocked to hear and he is the owner of SecretZone News plus Pia works there as a crime reporter. He wondered what secrets Pia could be hiding that were so important to her. As he watched her leave, he made a mental note to have a conversation with her later at night after dinner.
Arjun is thinking about what Pia is up to and why she is staying secretive.
Ragbhir saw Vihan's annoyed behavior and made Pia hide her identity, as his manipulative talks gave a hint that she is hiding her true identity from everyone. He decided to keep a close eye on the situation and gather more information before confronting Pia about any help needed or not.
Vihan while driving the car saw Pia tense and then she said with seriousness, "Vihan, oops! Sorry, Sir. I want to tell you that the Velvet Chase gang news is ready. You see it and talk to the editor about the next steps." Vihan's curiosity was piqued as she did not question or argue with him, which was unusual for her. He wondered if there was more to her involvement with the gang than she was letting on.
Vihan says with hidden concern, "Pia, is everything okay? You seem really tense about this news. Is there something you're not telling me?" This sudden shift in Pia's behavior made Vihan realize that there might be a deeper issue at play that needed to be addressed. Pia says with a tense look, "Sir, actually this news is risky, which means your life may be in danger, so do everything all on my ID. Plus, if anyone threatens you tell them that Pia did it, going against you."
Vihan's heart sank as he realized the gravity of the situation and the lengths Pia was willing to go to protect him. He knew he needed to tread carefully and handle the situation with caution to ensure their safety.
He nods his head and says in an annoyed way, "You not questioning me for making everyone doubt over your intention means to Arjun and his family. You were quiet and trying to change the subject, but now you are putting my life in danger with your actions. I cannot let you continue down this path." Vihan's voice was firm his resolve unwavering as he made it clear that he would not allow Pia to jeopardize their safety any longer.
Pia then says making a sarcastic look, "I never intended to put anyone in danger, Vihan. I was just trying to protect Arjun and his family, but I understand your concern."
Vihan's expression softens slightly as he realizes Pia's true intentions but he still insists on caution moving forward. Pia suddenly questioned him, "You should reveal my identity and mission and then take my side as a brother-cum-friend? Then why did you just hide it from Arjun and his family?"
Vihan hesitated knowing that revealing the truth could potentially cause more harm than good but he also understood Pia's need for transparency in their relationship. He took a deep breath before responding, "Pia, I did involve my dad with your mission plus he took a promise from me. I hate you and friends like you. I never want you. You always think about yourself. I was trying to protect you and everyone involved."
Pia smiled and said with sadness, "I wish this time you get to know the truth and I die knowing no one will get harmed or hurt due to my secret mission for the safety of people and country. As you're thinking, Arjun and his family should also get free from me, right?"
Vihan stops the car as they reach the office and he says removing his seat belt, "Oh, I think I will say that you need to die but I wish that you should die. As for your own motive, you are responsible for your family's death; innocent people became homeless, jobless, and one less loved one, and they did not get justice. For me, you destroyed my life and career both but I saved my career somehow. My love of life, because of your wrong decision got away from me. I hate you and I wish you could understand the pain and suffering you have caused so many people. I hope one day you realize the consequences of your actions and seek redemption for the lives you have ruined."
Pia's eyes filled with tears and she ran towards the office and then came to the washroom. She cried badly and washed her face, seeing herself in the mirror. Near the washbasin counter, she saw her phone ringing and John's name flashing. She took it and said, "Yes, John. What is the update? We need to talk tonight at the club."
John with a tense look said, "No, we can't meet. An important suspect needs to be caught. I need your help, and you need to become an undercover dancer to gather information."
Pia hesitated for a moment knowing the risks involved but ultimately agreed to help John with the investigation. She knew that this was her chance to make amends for her past mistakes and contribute positively to society.
Will Pia be able to successfully gather information as an undercover dancer without putting herself in danger?
