Ayaan sat alone in his room, staring at the wall in front of him. He couldn't believe the mess he had made of things. How could he have been so careless? How could he have betrayed Aman's trust like that? Ayaan knew he had made a grave mistake, and he didn't know how he was going to make it right.

He thought back to the day he had accidentally read the confidential document. It had been lying on Aman's desk, and Ayaan had picked it up out of curiosity. He had only intended to glance at it quickly, but before he knew it, he had read the entire thing. Aman had walked in just as Ayaan was putting the document back, and he had flown into a rage. Ayaan had never seen him so angry before.
