She's the one above me

Meanwhile, Kabir corners Zara on the rooftop.

“Tell me what you’re hiding,” he says. “Tell me who she is.”

Zara’s eyes fill with conflict. “What would you do if she wasn’t just a girl in your friend’s office?”

Kabir’s voice turns cold. “What would you do if she destroyed him?”

Zara steps closer. “She won’t. She’s in love with him.”

“But he isn’t with her,” Kabir growls.

“No,” Zara says softly. “He’s obsessed. He just doesn’t realize it yet.”

—

At the same time, Samar Sethi — Meher’s ex — returns. At first, just a name in a leaked article: “India’s youngest billionaire couple split due to unknown reasons.”

Then a real face at a business summit, smirking across the stage.

“Hello, Meher,” he says after years. “Still playing with shadows while I build empires?”

She smiles coldly. “I don’t play. I own.”

—

Meher starts receiving threats.

Her sister Ruhi is followed. Her flat is broken into. And one night, she finds a small red envelope under her pillow. Inside: a photo of her standing outside Aaryan’s mansion.

“You're being watched too,” it reads.

She goes quiet. Zara notices her silence deepening. More than obsession now — it’s fear.

—

Then comes the breaking point.

Aaryan walks into his office one evening and finds Meher standing at the window. Drenched from rain. Silent. Empty-eyed.

He walks toward her slowly.

“What’s wrong?” he asks.

Meher says nothing for a long beat. Then:

“Would you hate me if I wasn’t who you think I am?”

Aaryan’s eyes darken. “What are you hiding?”

Meher looks up, finally — eyes wide, unblinking.

“You’ll find out soon. Just promise you’ll still look at me the same way.”

He doesn’t respond.

Instead — he walks to her. Grabs her waist. Kisses her like a man starved. Angry. Possessive. Wanting control back.

She kisses him back — not soft, not sweet.

Addictive.

Deadly.

The next morning, Meher is gone.

She takes a leave. Disappears.That same day, Aaryan’s cousin Yuvraj announces a hostile merger.

Boardroom chaos erupts.

Kabir storms in with files: “It’s Meher. Her company’s behind this.”

Aaryan feels the earth under him break.

“She owns M.S. Global Holdings,” Kabir says. “She’s the one who’s been buying into us. Quietly. Legally. Brilliantly.”

“She's the one above me,” Aaryan whispers.

His obsession turns to fury. His silence turns into war.

—

But Meher doesn’t attack. She’s trying to protect.

Yuvraj and Samar have teamed up with Ira. They’re using Meher’s empire to crush Aaryan. She tried to stop it. She failed. Now she’s fighting them both, alone.

Ruhi, worried for her sister, follows Meher and stumbles into the truth. She’s stunned, furious. But ends up protecting her by hacking into Rathore servers and planting fake files with the help of Aryan’s junior hacker, Ahaan — whom she starts to flirt with, and falls for.
