The Silent Watchers – Someone Is Always Watching, but Why?
chapter 8
Aarya’s breath caught.
The room spun for a second, but she held her ground.
Rehan(??)
The same people who made you what you are.
Aarya’s fingers dug into the counter.
The past—the one she had buried, the one she had run from—was clawing its way back.
And Rehan…
He knew.
She forced herself to breathe. She wasn’t weak. She had survived worse.
But one thing was clear now.
This man wasn’t just a stranger anymore.
He was the first crack in the lies she had built her life around.
And that crack was about to shatter everything.
The sun hung low, casting golden streaks through the café’s large windows. The hum of conversation and clinking cups filled the air, but Aarya barely heard any of it.
She was still trying to process what Rehan had said.
“The same people who made you what you are.”
She stood behind the counter, fingers gripping the edge as if grounding herself.
Who was he?
And more importantly…
How did he know?
[Rehan’s Table]
Rehan sat near the window, sipping his coffee, his gaze occasionally flickering toward her. His presence was impossible to ignore. He wasn’t just another customer—he was a storm, quiet but dangerous, unraveling the life she had built piece by piece.
Aarya exhaled sharply.
No.
She had spent years burying the past. She wasn’t about to let some mysterious stranger dig it up.
