Chapter 40: Freedom

Third person POV :

Reyaansh is driving back to the city with Advika seated quietly beside him in the passenger seat. She fell into complete silence the moment he ushered her into the car.

His vehicles, manned by his associates, are also trailing them at a discreet distance, careful not to exacerbate the young woman's distress.

Advika is seated cross-legged, gazing out the window as the sky transitions into a deep shade of dark orange, signaling the imminent sunset. Her mind is abuzz with various thoughts. She never anticipated Reyaansh would release her from the confined space so readily. By "letting her go,"she means freeing her from that enclosed environment, not necessarily allowing her to distance herself from him.

She never foresaw that the carefree Reyaansh of their teenage years would evolve into this authoritative and menacing figure. Her inner voice sneered, recalling how he had once intimidated her as a teenager.
