The Cost of Betrayal",

Abir was busy in a conference room meeting. After about an hour, Abir was free from his meeting.

As he left, he made his way back to his cabin.

As soon as Abir entered his cabin, he said to Adil, "Let's go home."

Adil nodded in agreement and said, "Let's go."

Both Abir and Adil exited the cabin and took the elevator down. They got into Abir's car and drove off.

Abir took Adil straight to his villa. Upon reaching the villa, Abir said, "Your room is ready; go and rest. We'll meet for dinner." Saying this, Abir went to his bedroom while Adil headed to his room.

As soon as Abir entered his room, he noticed Aaina sitting on the bed, trying to apply medicine to her injury. However, she couldn't reach her back to apply it.

As soon as Aaina sensed Abir's presence, she quickly turned around and saw him looking at her.

Abir approached Aaina and sat down beside her on the bed. He took the medicine from Aaina's hand, suddenly pulled her t-shirt off, and began applying it to her back.

Aaina remained completely quiet; she had no problem being without clothes in front of Abir because this wasn't the first time it had happened. Over the past year, Aaina had endured this many times.

After a while, Abir had applied medicine to Aaina's entire body. He suddenly grabbed her shoulders from behind and whispered near her ear, "You need to heal quickly for a new pain. Your wounds must heal before you receive another new wound."

Hearing Abir's words sent a wave of fear through Aaina. She started to tremble lightly, and her eyes filled with tears, but she controlled herself from crying.

Noticing Aaina trembling, an evil smile appeared on Abir's face. He lifted Aaina's clothes back up and made her wear them again before heading to the washroom.

Aaina sat there, anxiously staring at the washroom door.

After a while, Abir came out of the washroom and went straight into the closet. He put on a t-shirt and pants, then walked out and headed to the balcony. Abir typed a message to someone and stood outside for a moment, gazing at the moon.

Meanwhile, at Sejal Villa...

A large bungalow had a sign in front that read "Sejal Villa." Guards stood all around the bungalow. Inside the hall, a woman was sitting on the sofa, and a man was kneeling in front of her with his hands joined, pleading, "Mistress, please forgive me! I made a mistake; I will be more careful in the future."

The woman stood up from the sofa and approached the man, saying, "You ruined the food by putting too many spices in Mya Rajvansh's dish. So, you must face the consequences."

"It has been so many days since you started working in this house, and you still don't know the preferences of the family members," she said, signaling another servant. She returned to her place on the sofa. The servant then brought a plate of food that had little food and a lot of spices.

Maya looked at the man and said, "Eat it all and finish it. If you don't, you will die right here."

The man, terrified, began to eat. He took one bite, and his condition deteriorated. His eyes turned red, and tears began to flow. He glanced at Maya with fear and started eating all the food. After a while, once he finished eating, he could no longer bear it, screamed loudly, and ran to find water. In his search for water, he went into the kitchen. Seeing his condition, the other servants were horrified, while Maya was pleased. Suddenly, Maya heard a voice, "Mom, why do you keep doing these foolish things?"

Maya replied, "Sagar, I didn't do this without reason. This servant added too many spices to my food, so he had to face punishment."

Rolling his eyes, Rohit said, "Mom, I'm going to my friend's party. Don't wait for me; I'll be back in the morning." With that, Sagar left.

Seeing Sagar leave, Maya remarked, "This boy and his parties..."

Maya Rajvansh is Abir's stepmother, and Sagar is the son of Maya's first husband. You can say that Sagar is Abir's stepbrother, who Abir doesn't like at all.

After Sejal's departure, Madan married Maya and brought along his first husband's son, Sagar.

Abir went to Adil's room. Adil was working on his laptop. As soon as Abir entered, Adil said, "Hey Abir, come sit." Abir quietly sat on the sofa beside Adil and lit a cigarette, taking long drags. Adil observed Abir closely, understanding that something was on his mind.
