Chapter 34

That evening, after a cozy dinner in town, Vikram and Tara returned to their suite, the warmth of their shared smiles lingering between them. Tara was unwinding, removing her jewelry in front of the mirror, her delicate fingers gliding over each piece. As she opened her jewelry box to put away her earrings, something caught Vikram’s eye—a bracelet, one he thought he would never see again. His gaze sharpened, his pulse quickened. No... it couldn’t be. The familiar shine, the intricate detailing—it was unmistakable. That bracelet was identical to the one he had given to his first love all those years ago, the very memory that had haunted him.
