Alia's past takes on a new dimension - she is revealed to be a descendant of a zamindar (landlord) family. This heritage casts a deep and complex shadow over her current life and relationships. As Alia tries to reconnect with her family's legacy and old values, the conflict between her past and her present - especially with Victor - intensifies.
Alia's Ancestry:
Alia was born into a prestigious zamindar family, once known for their vast lands, influence, and ancient traditions. Her family was deeply entwined with political and social power, shaping the society around them. In her childhood, Alia learned much about their legacy, their wealth-driven culture, and their sense of honor. But certain incidents also created inner conflict within her.
As time passed, modern laws and social reforms brought an end to their feudal empire. Her family experienced a downfall, losing their power and position. That was when Alia began to realize - the glory of the past had also been a source of darkness. Their obsession with property and control had made them forget their responsibility to people.
Although she had grown up with this legacy, Alia began to distance herself from it. Her independent thoughts, values, and spiritual awakening inspired her to walk a different path. Then came Victor - but his presence brought new challenges. Building a relationship with someone like him, amidst the weight of family expectations and power struggles, was no easy feat.
Impact of Alia's Ancestry:
1. Attraction to Power and Legacy:
Alia understands that her family's legacy gives her a certain strength and status. But in her present life, she realizes that blindly following this legacy will not bring her peace. To her, it has become a chain - one that holds her back from true freedom.
2. Sense of Justice and Morality:
From her family, Alia learned to stand for justice. This makes her resist injustice - even when it comes from powerful people like Victor. She struggles internally, knowing her family and Victor can never truly accept one another.
3. Searching for Her Own Path:
Alia seeks a life that doesn't depend on the pride of the past. She wants to forge her own identity, even if that means going against Victor's control. But her mother's expectations and her family's pressure weigh heavily on her.
Thus, Alia's heritage becomes a third force in her journey - a conflict between Victor's dominance and her own legacy, making their relationship even more complicated and intense.

Victor suddenly lifts Alia into his arms, but she becomes annoyed. Waving her hand, she says, "Victor, put me down! I said I'm fine. Why are you doing this?"
Her voice carried both irritation and discomfort - she hadn't expected such behavior.
Victor, keeping his cold smile, paid little attention to her frustration. "Be quiet, princess. Never think your decisions can stop me."
Alia grew more upset. "This isn't right, Victor! You never think beyond your own power and control."
Yet even as she spoke, a strange feeling stirred within her - as if Victor's behavior was a blend of dominance and affection.
Victor chuckled. "You don't know, Alia. I don't want to stop you. But if you want me, I'll always be by your side."
Still, Alia felt torn. Victor's dominance often made her feel powerless, even though she knew her feelings for him were far more complicated than she wanted to admit.
Suddenly, Victor's phone rang. Irritated, he stopped and set Alia down. Looking at the caller ID, he said, "Wait here. It's an urgent call." Then he walked away, answering the phone.
Alia stood there alone, discomfort swirling in her mind. Something about Victor's behavior puzzled her - it left her feeling emotionally unsettled. Though she cared for him, a shadow seemed to loom over her heart.
As she looked around, something felt missing - like an unknown presence chasing her. Despite spending time with Victor, she often felt she couldn't fully express herself, as if an invisible shadow had taken hold of her.
Left alone, Alia took a moment to herself, waiting for Victor's return.
Victor returned and said, "I have to go somewhere urgently."
Alia looked surprised, but without wasting another second, Victor stepped closer, kissed her gently on the forehead, and left.
Alia stood still, the warmth of his kiss lingering. It stirred a strange mix of emotions - part happiness, part confusion.
She knew she'd talk to Victor more deeply later - when the time was right. Until then, she spent her time in silent reflection, restless and thoughtful.
Just then, Alia received a call. She answered, and a strange voice spoke from the other end:
"Ma'am, we know your cousin is involved in the drug trade. We wanted to inform you - it's part of our mission."
Alia paused for a moment, questions flooding her mind. But she kept calm and replied in a composed voice, "Not now. Don't take any action until I say so. End the call."
The man was silent for a moment, then chuckled mysteriously. "As you wish, ma'am." The line disconnected.
Alia stood frozen, her mind racing. It all felt like a massive mystery, and she knew she'd have to proceed with utmost caution.
Switching off the phone screen, Alia remained still. A strange gleam appeared in her eyes. Suddenly, a mysterious smile spread across her face - one filled with confidence and hidden intent.
She had understood something - this mystery was a new challenge, and something big was about to happen.
Because the truth is: Alia is actually a secret CIA agent.
She had lived most of her life hiding her true identity.
Now, embedded deep in Victor's dark world - a world of power, betrayal, and hidden emotions - her mission had only just begun...
