Mumbai

Harish strode down the stairs of the mansion to hurry for his office, when Sanya came along with Sandesh.

"...hope you will not be late in the evening...?" as Sanya cradled the giggling baby, Harish creased his brow on not understanding the context, to get a cute glare from her.

"...Bhai!...how could you forget?!!...its Deepavali!!...the evening puja?!!...seriously Bhai!!!" as Naina jogged towards the duo and take the cooing Baby in her arms to play.

"...sorry!!...I will reach on time...bye..." saying so Harish called up Taehyung on the appointment of the new driver for Harish.

Taehyung was busy with getting the details about Rita and Ashley who presumably had gotten their tattoo from the same artist. With one more person who had the similar tattoo in her hand which was suspicious as Taehyung sensed.

Taehyung kept the call waiting outside the mansion and looked over to welcome his comrade Wang Ka-yee aka Jacky. 

(Wang Ka-yee aka Jacky)

"...Kid?!!...has your boss left the building?!!...*chuckles*..." Taehyung rolled his eyes at the usual crackhead of his comrade who was the double agent Jhope's bestie.

Wang Ka-yee was a trained SF1 badge soldier with highly equipped in combat skills, sharp shooting and of course manipulation all thanks to his bestie. Namjoon didn't like the way Wang worked. Wang had the tendency to make his own comrade question his loyalty much like Jhope. But his close friends knew about him. He would rather face the bullet than give up on his comrades.

"...Yes!...and Wang?!...please don't let Joonie raise a complaint against you...again...this case is very delicate!...don't screw it up!!..." as Taehyung kind of pleaded the perky Wang, the man donned his glasses with his smirk replying "...the commando is scared?!!...Geez!!...never knew I would see this day!!...no sweat honey!!...daddy's got it!!...oh!!...one question?"

As Taehyung relaxed on his words, Wang grabbed his shoulders with a serious stance to ask the most pivotal question of the day.

"...are the girls going to join?...you know...since a chick is involved...so...girl to girl?!!...*clicks his tongue*...*winks*..." the words made Taehyung pull his cheeks inside and glare at him, Wang raised his arms in defence and went to take the car to pick the boss.

"...igeo da kkeutnass-eo?...syuga hyeong-i gwaenchanh-eun gun-in-eul bonael su iss-eoss-eulkka?!!...geuligo geu salam-i ileon balam-eul piwossdago?!" Taehyung mumbled in his mother tongue, cussing his superior on making him work with weirdos.

(*"...igeo da kkeutnass-eo?...syuga hyeong-i gwaenchanh-eun gun-in-eul bonael su iss-eoss-eulkka?!!...geuligo geu salam-i ileon balam-eul piwossdago?!" - "...I am done with this?!!...one decent soldier Suga brother could have sent?!!...and he had this flirt?!!" in Korean).

Monica's apartment

Edward was waiting for his girlfriend outside Monica's apartment, as instructed by Sara and was listening to the instructions given by his master from India.

"...ok...I will look into it...bye..." as he kept the call with hundreds of questions in his mind with the command given by his boss, Sara perked up in front of him in the most cute sundress. 

"...wow!!...sweetie?!!...are you planning to kill me, huh?!!...what's with the dress?...hm?" as he grabbed Sara by the waist and saw her blush as usual, Sara bit her lower lips replying "...just so...thought you would like something different...so a dress...is it good?"

"...Hm?...*whispers in her ears*...don't know about that?...but it would look good on the floor!!..." slyly pecking her earlobes, Edward saw the way her cheeks turned beet red making him chuckle.

"...Eddy?!" the scream made the lovers look up at the voice. It was Monica in her groggy avatar with the face mask on and rolled up hair, making Edward shake his head.

"...up for a coffee?!!" as she asked Edward shaked his head as a no and saw the lady shrug her shoulders to make Sara chuckle at her sassiness to abruptly shut the window pane.

"...Sweet Cheeks?!!..." the husky call from behind them, made both Sara and Edward look at a hefty flirty guy strutting his abs calling out the drossy Monica.

"...Hey, Rick...come on up!" a now full blushing Monica twisted her upper body in a way to charm the man who bit his lower lip and ran to her apartment for his morning dose.

"...was he waiting for us to leave?!!...Monica?!!" a disgruntled Sara shaked her head at her bestie's taste in men and the way she would change them like her prom night dresses, every Saturday a new prey.

"...shall we move princess?!!" a chuckling Edward asked Sara who nodded at his low baritone and donned the spare helmet to rush to office.

Pune

Deshpande Mansion

"...Nitu?!!...this is not good!!...how could you do this?!!" as Nived asked his sister who was ignoring his words with having her quiet lunch.

She just crossed him to take the drinks from the bar counter, to which Nived stepped up and grabbed the bottle.

Nithya snickered replying "...relax?!!...it's not the end of the world..." and snatched back the bottle to have her much-needed dose of the harsh liquid.

"...it's just a tad tint in the royal Joshi family...nothing much..."

"...nothing much?!!...putting unaccounted money laundering in their account with no recall of the same...is nothing?...what if the officials come after you or me...coz we know the account from it is getting transferred..." Nived was going back forth in the file in his hand which were a proof of their money laundering in the past and present involving the Joshi family business.

"...I have done this a million times...and that idiot Hemant!...he didn't care less...so, what is the worry now...huh?" as she tried to stand on her wobbly feet with the intoxication hitting her head, Nived shaked his head with the carelessness that Nithya was doing.

"...Nitu?!!...its not like before...they have experts who will catch hold of this and inform the officials asap!!...do you think that you will able to escape them after, huh?!!" Nived asked her who rested herself on the bar counter snickering.

"...oh, will they?!!...then I guess...I have to divert them somewhere else...*chuckles*..."

Her words confused the brother who scanned the files again and again.

Nithya had transferred her money into the Joshi's old account which was under her and Hemant's name. Nived was tensed on the fact that this money were coming from their clients account who had no knowledge of this treachery.

Eventually if the officials did catch this money laundering, Nived, Nithya and their clients would be caught. Hence his reason for tension.

But Nithya had a plan B wherein if anything goes haywire. She had advised her accountant to involve Barve business name as the third-party dealer for her illegal transactions and slyly remove the first party name i.e. herself from the transaction.

Much like an Escrow, wherein the Barve family business account will be blamed and Nithya would easily come out of the deal with no knowledge of her existence in the deal. As herself, she had appointed an equally cunning accountant who knew the twist and turns in which his boss could be saved from the officials wrath.

Nived didn't have much trust in her particular transaction and called up their accountant to confirm on his sister's plan B.

The court

Robert was glaring at the way his parents were shocked when all the proofs pointed towards him. Fatima was sitting on the bench when the lawyer Abhishek smirked at the way things were favouring him who had given his everything to solve the Macintosh case.

With Rashmi getting anonymous death threats, Sara being chased by the hooded man to scare her and even Edward been almost killed while returning from work to his apartment.

Robert had his own set of assassins to deal with people who would interfere with his technique to acquire the Macintosh wealth.

Finally, when the judge gave her verdict on death penalty to Robert, his parents could only weep at their overly pampering to their eldest and how they failed as parents.

Fatima yelled "...its not over yet!!...just watch your back, Abhishek!!...just be cautious!!...my troupes are going to get you...and your family..." glaring at Abhishek's calm face who grinned and signalled the officers to take the filth from his face.

Robert smirked knowing exactly what his girlfriend meant and raised his brows mockingly at Edward who got concerned over Sara.

Abhishek advised his men to move out of the courtroom and head to their respective work. As they walked towards their car, Edward got a call from Sara and he called back Abhishek.

Boom!!

As they braced themselves from the heavy blast impact, Abhishek moved the smoke to vision a particular hooded person with it pocketed hands standing 7 foot across from them.

"...Eddy?!!..." as he called out a shocked Edward to show him the person, Edward didn't think much and marched towards the person who smiled through its eyes.

The chase went all the way to the backside of the court, wherein the hooded person was trying to slow the fast-pacing Edward with the things in his path. 

But finally, Edward caught hold of the hooded person by smashing the log of wood on its back to hear a grunt.

As Edward succeeded in finally revealing the person behind the hood, he was shocked and whispered '...Hwasa!!!' to get a rough smack on his face by her infamous round kick.

"...Was that necessary?!!..." Edward straightened his dislocated jaw to hear Hwasa snicker and rest herself onto the wall to catch her breathe.

"...what are you doing here?!!..." was the next question that Edward asked his comrade, who shaked her hand and gave him the envelope.

A rather confused and scared Edward took out the letter from the envelope from his senior Namjoon and read it to get another shocker.

"..." his body felt light and his head twirled with the information that made his heart sink. Hwasa caught hold of his falling self who felt his voice being caught in his throat and he couldn't breathe.

"...Soldier!!...hold yourself!!..." Hwasa tried to calm him who looked over her with his tearful eyes and just let it all out with howling the loudest.

"....NO!!!....NO!!!....no, it cant be!!...not her!!!...please Hwasa tell me...its not her!!...please Hwasa!!...no!!!...not her!!..anyone but not her!!!...not my...*cries hysterically*..." a saddened Hwasa grabbed him to console the shocked and howling Edward who wiggled in her hold.

After 15 minutes or so.

Edward clutched the letter in his hands still tearing up, with a worried Hwasa waiting for his response. She knew the pain of a heartbreak and thought to give the loverboy some time to gather his thoughts.

Edward cleared his throat asking "...what does he want me to do?...walk away?!!..." and looked over Hwasa who pursed her lips on not able to convey the harsh reality to her friend.

"...let go of the past and help to bring them together!!..." to which Edward sadly chuckled at the expected answer and got up from his sitting position to give his message to the boss.

"...well then!...tell him...this soldier will do as expected...but only on one condition..." his final stern words even made Hwasa scared for once but she nodded for him to continue.

"...I will quit...after this...and no one...I mean none of you and your backstabbing officers...would contact me...ever!!...got it!!...I am done with your lot!!..." he handed the envelope to Hwasa who gulped her throat and wiped her tears on losing another comrade because of the way Namjoon worked with knowing exactly that this one information at this particular time would definitely break the lover boy.

Hwasa knew how much Edward loved Sara, evident from his calls and message to Hwasa about Sara and his future married life with her.

But everything would be down the hill after the biggest reveal of her being...

It broke the soldier like glass, with each part unattachable and still in pain.

"...namjun-a wae geulaess-eo?!...yang-eul guhagi wihae sajaleul huisaenghae?!!!...sin-isiyeo jeoege him-eul jusoseo!!..." she mumbled as Hwasa knew the tough life that the comrades had to face when they bring in their heart in the job. Edward was suffering this particular heartbreak when he fell in deep pure love with Sara.

(*"...namjun-a wae geulaess-eo?!...yang-eul guhagi wihae sajaleul huisaenghae?!!!...sin-isiyeo jeoege him-eul jusoseo!!..." - "...why did you do this, Namjoon?!...sacrifice a lion to save the lamb?!!!...God give me strength!!..." in Korean language).
