Trisha.

"The security is too tight, there is no way we can get inside" Nitin said as soon as I reached there.

"I know, did you arrange what I asked you for?" I asked back

"Yea, I have informed all the media people, half of them are already here" he pointed around "but none of them are allowed so I think it's a waste to-"

"Dont worry, what about the other things?"

"Our technical teams are already getting everything fixed, But I don't understand how we can bait them, Trisha" He said.

"You will see" I said now, thrilled "I am going to sent mahesh a proper farewell this time" I added

Surya narayan.

Everything was ready and I walked to the stage with raghav, pramod and lawyer varun.

We took our assigned seats and I touched the mic and cleared my throat.

"I am deeply ashamed to face you today" I started in the fragile, old man's voice "It was a shock to me to know about Mr.Abraham's death, who was a very good friend, I deeply regret that something like this happened to him" I stopped for a moment "I am..I am here to say that I am sorry...I failed to bring up my son properly, As the chairman of surya corporation, I hereby announce that my firm and I will completely cooperate with the investigation" I said "If it's found that my son has indeed done this crime, I will not show mercy" I said "I apologise again to everyone who was affected by this incident" I said and bowed down in front of the crown.

Flashes were going around and the questions started.

"So if mahesh is indeed responsible, Are you not going to save him?

"He was already in so many rumors, What do you think about it?"

"Surya group's shares are going down, Is this some sort of trick to bring it up?"

Some of the questions made me really angry, But I just remembered Arjun's words.

"All the reporters are from our circle, Even if they write any unfavourable article, They can't publish it or broadcast it without their head's permission, The news that's going to come out will be in our favour anyway so don't get provoked or angry"

"Of course, I will bring justice to all the people who had to suffer because of this matter. Even if it's my son, I won't show him any mercy" I said sternly "It took me a lot of trouble to build up  my company, But I don't want anyone's blood or tears on it, I will follow the investigation properly and I will not give my son any special treatment until he is proven not guilt-" I was cut off as there were voices around.

"What's it?" Everyone started to look around.

"It's from outside" Some one said and they opened the door. Sure enough, The voices were getting louder now.

Most of the reporters got up and moved out to have a look and I turned to my bodyguards.

"What's going on?" I asked as they looked down.

"What's it!?" pramod asked angrily.

"Sir, It's..reporter Trishana, She arranged another..press conference just outside the building" he said and I fisted my hands tightly.

That bitch! I will kill her this time!

I walked out with all of my people.

"Sir, You don't have to go there, we better-"

"Shut up" I ordered everyone and walked out.

She's only 26 years and if she thinks she can compete with me, I will show her who's the boss here.

We walked out of the city hall building, It looked like all the reporters who were blocked by my men were already there and it was a lot.

And on the stage was none other than varsha Abraham in her wheelchair.

"I apologise for coming so late to stand here" she said slowly "But let me tell you one thing before it's too late" she said "Latest fashion world was doing well all these years, it was a blooming company until my papa signed a contract with surya group" she said "And then, They wanted my him to merge with surya group, But my papa refused and suddenly our company started to face problems after problem, Until one day it was destroyed" She wiped her eyes. "It was mahesh narayan who was dealing with us and he destroyed our company and the lives of all the people who were working there" she wiped her eyes again "my papa was cheated by them" she said "And if you think I am lying, I can show you all the related documents" She looked around and lifted up a file "my papa send me these files before he went into hiding" she said confidently "You can see that-"

"My apologies, Ms.Abraham" I started to walk to the stage.

I know that I need to stop her now, Or she's going to mess up everything, I need to get that files!

"I think there is some kind of misunderstanding here, If you talk like this in public, you are slandering surya group, Your dad publicly announced that he is ready to merge with surya group" he said.

"That was a blackmail, you blackmailed him with my life, he was forced to give an announcement" she said sternly and turned to the crowd. "you all must have read about it before, After arresting me from the skylines last time, the police handed me over to the surya group" she announced and the crowd looked outraged.

"Yes, even though the officer in charge was suspended that time, the real culprits were safe, it was mahesh narayan who wanted to kidnap me, So my papa, who was in hiding saw the news and made a deal with surya group, that he is ready to merge with them in exchange for my safety, But..." Her voice trembled and she wiped her eyes and turned to me  "But they..killed him"

This girl is more dangerous than I think.

All the reporters and people present there were already murmuring while my body guards surrounded me, protecting me from them.

"I am sorry for your loss, Ms.Abraham, But I still think there is some kind of misunders-"

"Instead of standing there, would you like to come up and speak your mind sir?" I heard Trishana's voice and I had to control myself from keeping a calm and gentle face.

"Sir, You shouldn't" lawyer varun was instantly beside me "It's a trap, Arjun sir especially told us to stick with the content" he added.

"Or are you afraid to face the truth sir?" Trishana asked again.

"I will accept your invitation" I said and started to walk forward.

"Sir!-"

"The situation has changed, If she reveals that papers, Do you have confidence to deal with it?" I asked him and he gulped "hurry up and bring Arjun here, now" I added before taking the steps to the small stage.

"Everyone" I took the mic and turned to the audience "The business contracts and dealings are very complex, I'm afraid that Ms.Abraham is not well aware of it" I said.

"I am.not.lying!" the girl exclaimed "surya group-"

"Then I will ask you Ms, What position did you hold in your father's company?" I looked at her.

And that got her.

"I..I was not-"

"That's right, You haven't had any business experience and yet you have to make such a careless remark about something so serious" I said "I understand that you are-"

"I am in charge of designing in our company" she said.

"Exactly, if I am not mistaken, You took modelling and fashion designing as your career and was concentrating on it, how can you understand the complex procedures between companies?"

"Then why did mahesh attack me?" she asked back. "This is not the first or second time" She said "This is the third time I am being attacked" she said firmly.

"first, when my papa went missing, mahesh attacked me and I was nearly dead that time, Then he bribed the police to arrest me, Yes, It was mahesh's quotation and the third time was when I confronted him for killing my pappa, how do you explain this?" She asked me. "Or are you going to tell that all of it was a misunderstanding too? I saw him with my own eyes, He wanted to kill me, Are you going to tell everyone that I am lying now?" she asked again.

I was in a fix now and I know it.

"If you were attacked twice before this, why didn't you file any complaint?" I asked back "Every logical person would file a FIR if they were attacked"

"She could not do it because her life was in danger" Trishana spoke up "And if you need evidence of this, There is one officer who took her to the hospital, You can confirm it with officer suresh kumar" she said.

This bitch...this is all because of her..

"Sir" raghav reached me "Arjun is still in the court, he said it will take time for him to reach here, He wanted you to stick with the content, He said everything else will make it worse" he added.

I understand what he said is right, But this bloody bitch in front of me is humiliating me.

Never had I experienced this before in my life and I will surely..surely return this debt back to her.

"I am sorry you have to suffer a lot" I said gently, empathetically "if the accusation is right, I promise you here and now, in front of everyone that I will bring you justice" I said.

Some of the people nodded, Appreciating me.

I need to make everything better.

"And I am ready to hand your firm back as an apology and I hereby announce that I will help you with bringing back your company to its feet" I said.

"I don't want your petty offers, It's my pappa's company and I will get it back fair and square" she said angrily "Besides, The contract hasn't been signed yet, So you can't talk like the company is already in your hand" She added.

"We have to appreciate his helping mind, Varsha" Trishana said "Please everyone we have to give him a big applause for standing with justice, even ready to punish his son if he's done wrong, you are really great sir" she clapped her hand as some of the people joined in .

Trisha.

I got surya narayan where I want.

Sadly for him, Our game is only starting now.

I never wanted to bring out varsha infront of everyone like this, but she insisted and everyone else thought her presence will bring a strong impact and they were right.

Since it was in front of so many people, I know that they can't do anything to her now.

What I had planned is only beginning.

"What about maya case sir?" I asked narayan "Mahesh was accused of-"

"He was cleared of all charges" his lawyer varun spoke up now "I was his lawyer, The trial was public and he was acquitted" He said confidently.

"Do you know the fact that her entire family is missing now?" I asked him "what do you think happened to them?" I asked.

"This is shocking, Ms.trishana, To see you accusing without evidence, My son was a victim in maya case, It was all a set up by that girl" narayan said.

"Then what about Nandana case?" I asked slowly "An 18 year old girl  Committed suicide because of him!"

"That's baseless rumour! He was not even involved in such a case, Even the police didn't come for him, What are you doing?" pramod ,their ED said.

"When I was going to report about it five years ago, the story was quite different, But then suddenly I was demoted from my position and The news about nandana suddenly changed, It was quite different from what I had investigated" I didn't back down.

"Do you have any grudge against surya group,Miss?" Raghav said "We were considering Ms.Abraham and holding it in, But if you continue this-"

"What if I have evidence? Do you have confidence?"

"You have evidence on something that happened five years ago?" Narayan asked me "even the police don't suspect anything and you are suddenly making up all of these" he said

"Then do you have the confidence to hand over the investigation to the officer of our choice?" I asked him again.

"Who do you want?" He asked back.

"I want officer Suresh kumar to investigate about my dad's case and the related ones" Varsha said.

"Related one?" Narayan raised his eyebrows "other than some farfetched theories by reporter Trishana, There is nothing else" he said.

Very well...let's see then.

I signalled nitin and the projector we prepared was switched on.

I played the clip I had saved long before, It was only a fragile piece of evidence then, But now, Its very strong and relevant and mahesh cannot get away with it.

"That's right" Mahesh lowered his voice and leaned down to the screen (to me) "I used her and dumped her, it's her mistake if she committed suicide, I didn't tell her to do it" he said evilly "And maya, I offered her a lot of money for all her trouble, it's her loss that she was ungrateful and decided to sue me instead, look where it had brought her" he stopped "What are you going to do about it?" He challenged.

Even though the clarity from the button camera was compromising, Anyone could make out that it's mahesh and his sound was very clear too.

Ha! Even though surya law firm has gone to very much trouble to clean up after every mess mahesh caused, He had gotten himself to the trap.

He confessed to the crime and they cannot manipulate with the case anymore.

I turned around to see the mighty surya narayan looking ashen.

This is only the beginning...just wait..I will make sure that each of you will pay the price for the things you have done..

Arjun.

"I need to kill her, We should have done it long before" father growled.

All of us were in the emergency meeting and discussing about the happenings at the press conference.

"Trishana tricked us, She knew that we will try to stop varsha from exposing those documents" raghav sir said.

I sighed.

"It was I, Who had done the dealing on merging of latest fashion world and I am 100 percent confident that you can't find anything wrong in there" I said "She just wanted to lure you out and wanted to make you go there on the stage" I said.

"And we fell right to her trap" pramod said.

"She got what she wanted, Everyone is writing about Maya and Nandana case now, They got public sentiment and she made us hand over the case to ACP suresh kumar" I said slowly.

"And the most important thing, She made surya law firm to abandon mahesh, She knew we had no other way out" I stopped.

"I always wanted to take care of her, But she was Arjun's case and he wanted me to stay far away from her!" Abiram said "Just like that voice clip she had all these time, We don't know what else she has to frame us" he added "She's really dangerous"

I remembered the secret room in her house.

I need to take care of it quietly.

"If we take care of her now, Everyone will turn to us, and with the complaint she filed, We will be at disadvantage" Raghav sir said.

"What's going to happen to mahesh now?" pramod asked "Now that another two cases are open, Is there a way for him to get out?"

"The chance is very less" I spoke up atlast "If it was something else, we could have denied it, But he just confessed to the crime, Surya law firm had made everything clean after the incidents, But he just ruined all of it with his confession" I said.

"I heard from his bodyguards that he did it after taking away her camera that time, Who would have expected her to hide another camera!" Abiram said angrily "what I don't understand is the fact that she stayed still all these time, She did not expose it until today, Why didn't she expose it earlier?"

"What do you think would have happened if she exposed it earlier?"

"We will make it look like a fake clip, we will question it's originality and deny it" raghav sir said slowly "She waited until she has the correct timing, She really is as sharp as her father"

"But I'm not going to leave her" father said "if we can't kill her now, We are going to cut off her limps" he said confidently "just like she forced us to cut off Mahesh from surya group"

"What are we going to do?" pramod asked the question I wanted to ask badly.

"Her only pride is the truth magazine, Let's destroy it completely"

"What? Everyone will surely turn to us-"

"Accidents can happen anytime, Send the best of our men there, Ask them to set her building on fire, Leave no evidence behind" Father said "I would like to see what she will do if her hands and feet are tied" he said.

"That's actually a good idea, it's the only way we can stop her from publishing any more news against us" I said thoughtfully.

"As long as there is no evidence, Nobody can do anything to us" raghav said slowly.

"But we need to be very careful, From now on, Officer suresh kumar is taking over our case, He's very sharp" I reminded them.

"I will send the most talented men to do it, It's not their first time" Abiram said, looking satisfied.

"I will visit Mahesh and tell him what he should do" I said and got up.

Trishana.

"He's a troublemaker, He was refusing to cooperate so we moved him in a isolated room" the jail warden told me.

"I only need two minutes, We have a small debt to pat hime back" I told him and he eyed the cover in my hand doubtfully.

"I was already checked by the security before letting me inside" I said quickly.

"I don't doubt you" the warden chuckled "officer suresh especially called me and asked me to help you today" he said and I nodded.

Thank God! Not all officers are corrupt, I need to thank karthik's dad personally.

So five minutes later, I was sitting in front of the glass barrier that separated me from the other side.

The door to the visiting room opened and there stood mahesh narayan in his jail uniform.

"It's you!?" he asked darkly and I smiled brightly at him.

"Number 435, I think this dress really suit you!" I smiled.

"Go to hell" he said angrily and turned around.

"Do you know what's happening outside?" I asked and he stopped in his track.

I bet he's dying to hear about the news.

"Your father called a press conference and said that you were acting on your own, He said surya group has no idea about whatever evils that you were doing" I stopped "He said he will not consider you as a son and they totally cut you off-"

"Shut up!" he shouted and turned around. "When I come out of here, you are the first person I am going to kill" he said.

"But you are not coming out of there" I said "after Abraham case, Maya case and Nandana case will follow you and I promise you that you will never get out of here" I said and took the beautiful wreath from the side and removed the cover.

"I especially ordered this for you, I remembered that you like big fresh flowers" I turned it to him "Rest in peace, Mahesh narayan"

Arjun.

"Someone's already here to see mahesh?" I asked the warden.

"He nodded "she just went out and mahesh is not in a good mood, He's refusing to see anymore visitors"

"I understand, I will come another time, There is nothing I could do for him now anyway-" I stopped as I saw a officer brought a big wreath towards us.

"Sir, What should we do about this?" he asked the main warden.

He sighed "you see, its no wonder mahesh is furious" he said and I read the message in the middle.

"RIP Mahesh surya narayan"

"Trishana was here?" I asked rather amused now.

The warden nodded "yea, it was that reporter.

So I walked outside and into my car.

As soon as I got inside the car, I started to chuckle.

"What is it sir?" karan asked me, looking at me strangely "What's so funny?"

I couldn't answer him as I couldn't control my laughter.

"Sir?"

"Trishana...she..she just sent mahesh a wreath" I said in between my laughter.

Karan shook his head.

"She's one of a kind" he said "But she's already listed number one in the hit list" he added.

My laughter died away.

"When is it?"

"Tonight" karan said grimly "Truth magazine is like her lifeline, Are you not going to do anything about it sir?"

"The more I think about it, The more beneficial this plan is, karan, May be this is the only way we can stop her from putting herself in danger again"

"But sir-"

"Enough" I said and leaned back to the seat. "I am not going to get involved, Karan" I said firmly. "Don't talk to me about her if it's not an emergency" I said and he nodded.

Trisha.

"Cheers!"

I Lifted up my pepsi can to the laptop screen while the others raised their glasses to me in the screen.

I Was in my house while the others were still at garden house. Varsha was already  transferred safely back and since she is enrolled in the witness protection, I am sure that surya group won't dare to harm her now.

"Mahesh narayan is out of the picture now" Karthik said and  everyone cheered again.

"That leaves Abiram and Arjun surya narayan" I said "if we take them down, Surya group will surely come down"

"I agree, Mahesh is the only one punished now, But their shares are already coming down and Their business is really affected" Aditya said.

"Who are we going to target next?" Shahid asked.

"If shweta is right, we need to aim Arjun now, if he's off the scene, surya group is half finished" Aditi said and I nodded.

"That's right" I said "during the press meeting, I overheard them talking, They said Arjun wanted to stick to their original plan, He knew that whatever narayan tried to say then, it will be used against themselves"

"That's why they suddenly stopped defending mahesh and started to talk about bringing justice" varsha said thoughtfully "Then we need to take him down"

"I still think your plan to seduce him is dangerous" Shahid said "They are beasts, trisha, we can't act recklessly"

"The ball is in our court now, The situation has turned around" Aditya said thoughtfully "Let's start with the plan trisha mentioned and see if it's useful"

"But-" varsha started

"But We will make sure that she is safe" karthik said "Now that we need Arjun narayan, The only way to contact him is during his club time" karthik looked at me "No individual operation" he said "we all will disguise and will stay around you, We will make sure nothing will go wrong"

"They know all of our faces, What if they saw through us?" Aditi asked.

"Leave it to me" varsha said confidently "I was the director of modelling in my company, If I put my mind to it, I can disguise you well " she said "And they will never expect us to turn up in his club house"

"Then that's it, I will research more about Arjun narayan before we put our plan to action" I said confidently and everyone nodded.
