Detective Arjun saw the way Harish was still stunned at the morning event, as he was instructing his agents.

"..Mr. Joshi?...I need to take a brief of your office...alongwith this floor as well the entire building...if you don't mind..." Harish nodded his head and asked his assistant to not inform about Yogita's untimely death to Sanya.

Hardik was attending the call with Hemant who told him that they would arrive by tomorrow afternoon.

He also made sure to call the Naik family about their loss who were shocked at her sudden death.

Paris

Abhishek Law Firm

"..." Edward saw Abhishek slump down in his seat as the receiver trace down his hands.

He picked the call to understand the sudden terrified demeanour of his boss. He kept the call assuring that his boss will call back.

"..Sir?..." as Abhishek drank the water offered by Edward, he rested his head on the chair murmuring her name 'Gita'.

"...Jiju?...I think we need to question Rex the gardener...Jiju?!!" Sara moved inside the cabin with her head dunked in the file and got shocked as she saw the way Abhishek was tearing up.

She slightly jolted his shoulders to which he wiped his tears and spoke "...Sweetie...I need to visit Mumbai for a week...take care of Rashmi...hm?...and call in Ashley and Monica to stay with you...don't worry about the office work...Edward will handle it for now...hm?"

He signalled Edward to guide him on his workload and called up the travel agent for the tickets.

In the afternoon

Naik Villa

Rashmi hugged Abhishek with her tearful eyes murmuring "...Please honey...take me with you...I don't feel right about this...please...I need to see her the last time..."

"...Baby you can't...it will not be good for you and the baby...the long-distance travel and moreover, our baby is not supposed to encounter such events...hm?...didn't you tell me that when we denied the funeral of Mr. Rodriguez, last week, hm?" Abhishek caressed her hair as she tightened her hug. He smiled at her childishness which seldom appears, and glanced over the girls who assured him with their smile that the new mother and child will be safe.

At the airport

Abhishek was zoning out thinking about the turn of events. Just two days back had he conversed with Yogita who had given him a positive vibe about him. The part success of their plan with the Police Commissioner in their confidence and the arrangements of the Dubai conference to shift the attention from the France travel.

But alas. The comrade was not able to finish what the siblings had started from the time of the lovers death trauma.

"...boldof you?!...to walk into the lion's cave!..." the voice made Abhishek smirkreplying with facing the man. 

"...traitor – can I call you that?...apart from being ascamster, liar, thief...and ...um...what else title will suit a 'double agent',hm" 

"...*chuckles*...true!...and...um...sorry for your loss...she died a warrior..." Jhope turned serious with remembering their hidden spy, Yogita who would time to time convey the crucial information to make them set their next plan of action.

"..."Jhope then slyly kept a packet on the seat in between them and informed "...openit when you see him...and don't miss your shot...this is all I can get...at such ashort notice..." 

Abhishek picked the packet and put it in his hand bag thanking him. As he wanted to ask about the next set of plan, the man vanished away from the boarding lounge area just as he had entered.

Mumbai

Naik mansion

"..."

The entire scenario was dark with the majority of the people being teary-eyed or consoling the family members.

Harish was not able to take the way the parents were howling on losing their only daughter and were horrified on seeing her limbs being darkened with the burnt marks.

"...yeah...I will leave in 5 minutes...Mhm..." as Harish kept the call from Hardik regarding the ongoing investigation with the persistent detective barging in their family affairs, the VC had to take a stand.

"..." Harish saw him after a period of 6 years. The one responsible for shattered life of the lovebirds. The one who stained his love with his unwanted fake pride.

Shrugging his angry thoughts, he walked towards the sad looking man to console him.

"...I am sorry for your loss...she was a good friend...she helped me a lot with my mental stress and imparted great knowledge to me...she always spoke about you...her supportive brother..." Harish's word only made the man look down in disgust and thought to finally give it to him just to please his built-up anger for the one guy who threw his love in the fire of fake love and conceit.

He glanced around and then grabbed Harish's shoulders growling in his controlled voice. He traced his hands towards Harish's collar in a way to strangle the calm guy, not at all triggering him.

"...*scoff*...keep your wise words for yourself...Mr. Joshi...what my sister was...and what you did to her...is only known to me and my family...so, leave...before I throw your disgusting self out..." whispering on his face, Abhishek moved to send his sister for her last journey on the earth to her heavenly abode.

Harish clenched his jaw having two minds to throw his hands at the man. But seeing the ambience, it was advisable to deal with the two-faced fox later.

Joshi Mansion

Sanya was getting restless upon hearing the news from the maid. She was sitting on the couch in the living room waiting from either one of the family members to come home and explain the incident in detail.

"...Shri...what happened?...please tell me..." a tensed Sanya strode towards a zoned-out Harish who got concerned on how did Sanya got the information about Yogita's death.

As he thought to calmly explain to her the actuality of the incident with hiding the gothic scene of the shock, Sanya could only try to calculate on who would have done this.

"...Sanya! It was a simple case of loose wires somewhere or maybe some issue with the power room...I don't think someone would go to so much trouble to kill Yogita!..." As Harish drank the juice bought by the servant, Sanya pursed her lips correcting him.

"...Not Yogita...I am talking about...us...particularly either of you brothers!..."

Her words did make Harish bring the thoughts that he had after seeing the way Yogita brutally fell for the shock attack.

But who would have done it?

Coz, as far as the main culprit was concerned. They had got the confirmation from Namjoon that they had found no sign of Nithya in Canada or the nearby city.

"...But, Shri...do you think, she would have just stayed there...after being discovered...I don't think so...she must have taken refuge...in one place or the other...wait a minute?!!..."

As the new mother walked to get the phone book kept near the landline in the living room area, she flipped through the pages to find the one name that they had never thought.

Deshpande cottage, Pune.

Harish scoffed at the name, reminding her that Nived Deshpande (Nithya's brother) was in their scan from the time of Nithya's missing; with the CIA and Harish himself tracing his every move with a hired detective from his side.

"...Shri...that is fine...but what if?!..." Sanya tried to make her point viable to the adamant Harish.

Harish interrupted her saying that she was unnecessarily getting worried about nothing. As he told the maid to take the tired Sanya towards her room to rest for the night.

Harish's room

"...Ihope you are on track with him...I don't want to miss any of the details...and sendme the details of their property papers...I want to just glance through...and alsothe marriage certificate...send them by tomorrow..." 

As Harish kept the video call with his detective, he send a message to his secretary to send him the details of his flight tickets to Bordeaux, France after two days for the final part of the merger.

"...Sir...actually...the detective Arjun told us to cancel the tickets..." Harish stopped sipping his water getting frustrated with the unwanted intrusion.

"...and why is that?..."

"...Sir...he said that till the case is not closed...none of the Kanysa employers or employees are allowed to leave the city...so..." the secretary just conveyed the message which was imparted on the office platform by Arjun to the entire office minus Harish and Hardik.

"...send me Arjun's number...now!!!" As an enraged Harish called Arjun to take off the unwanted detainment order from them.

"...yes?" a rather calm Arjun spoke from across the phone.

"...what is the meaning of this, huh?...take it off!" Harish low screamed from the phone, making the officer chuckled knowing exactly the person who had called him – Harish Joshi.

He signalled his wife to serve him some chicken curry and gaily replied to the fuming man.

"...well, if you are not my wife?!...I am sorry, honey...*chuckles* I can't...maybe I can hook you up with any of my colleagues?!!..." as he mocked the built-up anger of the billionaire businessman, he sipped on his drink enjoying his dinner with his wife, playfully winking at her confused face.

"...Shut up!!...listen officer!...I have million-dollar deals lined up for me...to give attention to your cat mouse drama!!...remove the detainment order from us...I need to finalise the merger!!!..." Harish raised his voice at Arjun who poked his tongue on his cheek, excusing himself from the dinner table.

"...Mr. Joshi...I have the command directly from the Commissioner which I can't refuse...it would be unethical of me, to not obey my head's orders...hm?...So, I am sorry...I can't..." as Arjun explained his job profile on not going against his duty, Harish grunted from the other side.

When Harish kind of ordered him with a growl, Arjun told him that it would only become more complicated with the killer on loose and everyone on the suspicion list.

Harish gave up throwing the phone on the bed, pushing his hair back with smoke coming out of his ears. After gathering his coolness, he called up the Police Commissioner to explain to him the dynamics of the French Company merger with Kansya, which was pivotal for the company's current growth and expansion.

After the Commissioner fixed a meeting with Harish able to relax on not missing this opportunity for his company.

But he had to delay his travel by two days, making him reach France on the merger meeting day itself. But he thought to not postpone it one more time, as it would only annoy the board.
