Unraveling Secrets
Ishani Deshmukh (Female Lead)
I can feel Karan’s doubts creeping in. His words keep echoing in my head, and no matter how much I try to focus, they won’t leave me alone. I need to keep it together. I have to stay focused on the bigger picture—Harish Mehra.
Ishani Deshmukh (Female Lead)
Ishani’s thoughts: But it’s hard. The more I work with Karan, the more I feel this... connection. It’s confusing. I never planned for this. I thought I’d just get my revenge and move on, but now things are becoming... personal.
Ishani stands by the window, staring at the skyline, lost in thought. The city is bustling, moving forward, while she feels stuck, her heart torn between vengeance and the growing complexity of her feelings for Karan.

Why am I even thinking about him? This isn’t the time for distractions. I need to stay on track. Harish has to pay for what he did to my father. Nothing else matters right now.
Karan’s Office, Same Morning
Karan is sitting at his desk, papers scattered around him. His mind is elsewhere, his thoughts drifting back to Ishani. The conversation they had yesterday is still fresh in his mind. He can’t ignore it any longer. He’s been working with her for weeks now, and something feels off. She’s hiding something.
Karan Rana (Male Lead)
I know she’s not telling me everything. But why? Why won’t she trust me?
Karan Rana (Male Lead)
Karan’s thoughts: I’ve always been able to read people. Ishani is no different. But there’s something more to this—something deeper. And it’s driving me crazy that she won’t let me in.
Karan Rana (Male Lead)
I need to know what she’s planning. This whole thing could blow up in our faces if I don’t find out what she’s keeping from me. But if I push too hard, will she pull away?
Karan stands up abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor. He begins pacing around his office, running his hand through his hair, trying to think. But his thoughts keep drifting back to Ishani.
Karan Rana (Male Lead)
I can’t afford to make any more mistakes. We need to finish this. I can’t let my feelings get in the way.
Ishani Deshmukh (Female Lead)
I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up. The secrets, the lies—everything’s starting to feel like it’s closing in on me.
Ishani picks up her phone, her fingers hovering over the screen. She wants to call Karan. Wants to talk to him. But she stops herself. She knows it’s too risky.
Ishani Deshmukh (Female Lead)
He wouldn’t understand. Not yet. I need to focus on the task at hand. I can’t afford to let him in right now.
The door to her office opens, and Ananya walks in with a stack of papers. She quickly puts her phone down, shaking off her moment of weakness.
Ananya Mehta (FL Assistant)
Ishani, we’ve got the final reports on Mehra. Everything’s ready for our next move.
Ishani Deshmukh (Female Lead)
Good. Let’s not waste any more time.
Ishani Deshmukh (Female Lead)
Ishani’s thoughts (turning her attention to the task at hand): Mehra won’t know what hit him. I’ve worked too hard to let anything go wrong now. I need to stay focused.
Ishani Deshmukh (Female Lead)
Get me the details on those offshore accounts. It’s time we put an end to this.
Ananya nods and leaves, and Ishani returns to her desk. The reports Ananya brought are the final pieces of the puzzle, and she can feel the tension building. It’s all coming together now. But in the back of her mind, there’s still a nagging feeling that Karan’s suspicions are going to cause problems.
Ishani Deshmukh (Female Lead)
I can’t afford any distractions. Not now. Not when I’m so close.
Karan’s Office, Afternoon
Karan is sitting at his desk again, this time looking over the financial documents they’ve gathered. But his mind is still on Ishani. He can’t shake the feeling that she’s playing a dangerous game. And the more he learns, the more it feels like they’re getting closer to something bigger than they realized.
Karan Rana (Male Lead)
This doesn’t add up. If Ishani’s telling the truth, why is she holding back?
Karan stands up again, frustration bubbling inside him. He walks over to the window, staring out at the city below, his mind racing.
Karan Rana (Male Lead)
I need answers. I can’t keep pretending I don’t notice what’s happening. Ishani’s hiding something, and I won’t let her push me away again.
Karan Rana (Male Lead)
I have to find out what she’s up to—before it’s too late.
