Chapter 6: Return to Domestic Life



"Puja's eyes narrowed as Shekhar entered the small apartment, his face etched with guilt. 'Where were you?' she asked, her voice firm but laced with concern. Shekhar sighed, rubbing his tired eyes. 'I'm sorry, Puja. I got caught up in something. I promise it won't happen again.' He approached her, his arms open in a conciliatory gesture. Puja's expression softened, and she embraced him, her touch warm and comforting. 'Just be honest with me, Shekhar. What's going on?' Shekhar hesitated, torn between revealing the truth and protecting her from the dangerous game he'd stumbled into. For now, he pushed the secrets aside and held her close, grateful for the haven of their love."



"Puja's eyes widened as she pulled back from their embrace, her gaze scanning Shekhar's body. Her fingers traced the love bites on his neck, and her eyes narrowed. 'Who is she?' she asked, her voice laced with a mix of anger and hurt. Shekhar's eyes dropped, his face flushing with guilt. 'Puja, I...' he began, but she cut him off. 'Don't lie to me, Shekhar. I know you too well. You're tangled in something, and it includes a woman.' Puja's voice was firm, but her eyes betrayed her pain. Shekhar knew he had to come clean, but the truth would only hurt her more. He was trapped, torn between his love for Puja and the dangerous game he'd stumbled
into . "



"Shekhar stormed out of the house, the weight of his guilt and deceit heavy on his shoulders. He couldn't bear the look of hurt and anger in Puja's eyes, and he knew he had to escape the consequences of his actions. He made his way to Mohini's lair, his heart racing with anticipation and fear. 'I'm ready for the job,' he told her, his voice firm but his eyes betraying his turmoil. Mohini's smile was triumphant, and she nodded in approval. 'I knew you'd see it my way, Shekhar. Welcome to the team.' And with that, Shekhar sealed his fate, leaving behind the life he knew and embracing a dangerous new world."
