With meticulous planning, Ishika and Yuvaan tracked down Kritika, who was living lavishly on Jivika's stolen fortune. Yash, who had connections in the underworld, arranged for Kritika to be abducted. She was brought to a hidden basement far away from prying eyes.

The basement was freezing, with icy walls and no sunlight. The trio wanted Kritika to feel the same pain Jivika had endured-but in their own twisted way. They turned the cold into a weapon. Kritika was kept in a room where the temperature was below freezing. They stripped her of her luxuries, her power, and her control, leaving her vulnerable and desperate.
