Chapter 255 - You were not the target. (1/2)

|Eshan|

”Who's that person?” I asked, barely able to control myself. I just wanted to kill the person who badmouthed my Innaya. Degraded her by saying that she was a gold digger. ”There's no doubt that Sahil fell for the trap. If this point was not used, then he would not have reacted that way. Why did he not confirm before jumping to the conclusion? Who's the person?” I could not help but pace in the room. The anger caused the temperature of my body to rise up, almost bringing tears in my eyes because of the anger.

”He doesn't know.” Arjun shrugged his shoulders.

”You-” Pointing a finger at him, I was lost for the words. ”But, you know. Who's the person?”

Arjun smiled. He knew it. If he decided to do something, then there was nothing that would be hidden from his eyes. He held the capability of unearthing the dead from the grave. ”You still want to hear?” he asked while tapping his long fingers on the armrest impatiently.

”Say it.” I stopped pacing and waited impatiently for him to unmask the hidden enemy.

”Ayesha's mother. She was the one who's behind everything.”

'Why? I don't understand her reason behind trying to ruin Innaya's life. I'm not the only successful and rich man out there. There are a lot of guys who are a complete package- even better than me, then why me? The girl who did not see me for so many years, how can she carry a torch for me from so long- even going to great lengths of ruining someone's life. I simply don't understand what the purpose was. Why so deep conspiracy to drive Innaya out of my life.”

I held my head in my hands. Nothing made sense to me. Nothing. I just could not get the reason, but judging from Arjun's somber look, I knew the worst was yet to come.

”You were never the target,” Arjun said. I raised my head.

I frowned. ”Huh? What do you mean by that?”

”Have you turned dumb from the anger?” Arjun scoffed. ”Don't tell me your IQ has dropped to minus… Well, that's technically impossible though.”

”Shut up!”

”Are you sure you want me to shut up?” Arjun raised his eyebrow, his blue eyes mocking me.

I breathed, closing my eyes. His words played in my mind. If I was not the target, then that only meant… Innaya. Innaya was the target.

My eyes flew open at the realization.

”Why Innaya? Innaya doesn't have any relationship with Ayesha's mother. How? Why?” I rambled on because it was not making sense to me. Just to what extent their enmity ran towards Innaya, to plan so much to ruin her.

The actions they took were not a result of one day, rather it was in-depth planning of months. They would have surely succeeded if their schemes were not discovered in time.

”Yes, they would have succeeded in the plan had Karan not intervened timely,” Arjun said, interrupting my thoughts.

I froze. Karan again.
