The small fry started,"Clover was established by Prateek to hide criminals crime. He used to get huge amount of money from criminals but things started to get messy. The successors he chose refused to trust him. They wanted to be the ones leading the organisation. I dont know their identities. "

Sachin asked,"Sir,who do you think are the successors?"

ACP thought for a while. Naturally, the first suspects were Aishwarya and Sree. Though he didn't want to believe that they were the culprits, he sent officers to interrogate them.

Abhijeet and Daya went to interrogate Aishwarya.

Abhijeet said,"Aishwarya about Prateek.."

Aishwarya felt disgusted hearing the name of Prateek,"That guy... I cant believe he did that. I should have died in the fire. Why on earth was I mentored by him? My life is ruined."

She hid her face by her hands.

Daya said,"Its not your fault. Please don't say that you should have died."

Both Daya and Abhijeet felt sad for her.

Both of them observed various things in her house. Most of the things were related to- football and anime.

Abhijeet looked at an anime poster. The girl was an idol. Under her picture,a name was written "Ai".

Aishwarya saw him looking at the poster and said,"Ai means love in Japanese."

Abhijeet simply nodded.

Abhijeet and Daya discussed among themselves.

Abhijeet said," I don't think she has done something. There is nothing suspicious in her house."

Daya replied," I agree. I think, she is innocent."

Meanwhile

Kavin asked,"Sree, what do you know about Clover?"

Sree wasn't in the mood to answer. He looked around his house and ignored them.

Kavin asked," Do you know who are Shadow, Phantom or Hunter?"

Still, they got no response.

Suddenly,Dushyant noticed something, it was a tattoo. Normally, Sree wore full sleeves but today he was wearing short sleeves. That's why, it was visible.

Dushyant grabbed his hand and took a good look of the tattoo. It was a Clover sign.

Dushyant said,"Do you work for Clover? Who is your leader?"

Sree smiled,"You are wrong. I don't work for anyone.....they work for me. I am Shadow."

Saying this he immediately grabbed Dushyant's collar and threw him away.

Kavin tried to punch him. But, he kicked Kavin's stomach.

Dushyant returned to fight Sree. But, Sree banged Dushyant's hand on the wall and he fainted.

Then, he grabbed a nearby vase and hit Kavin. Kavin fainted too.

"Let's ask Kavin and Dushyant about Sree." Abhijeet tried calling Kavin but he didn't answer. Then, he called Dushyant but he didn't answer too.

Daya said ," I think there is some problem. Let's go."

They quickly searched for Kavin and Dushyant. They found both of them unconscious.

And there was a card.

Meet me at X House 8 sharp. Please bring Aishwarya, will you?

The officers searched and found a phone. The only call made from this phone was to someone named Ai . They called this number and Aishwarya answered.

Abhijeet instantly remembered,"Ai" means Love in Japanese. Did Sree love her? In that case, maybe we can stop him by using her.

They also found a CD. This is a little gift for Shreya. This was written on the CD.

The officers showed the card to Aishwarya. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Tears started falling from her eyes.

She said,"Sree too... I thought he was my friend. Why did he... is my life a lie? Have I been with traitors all along?"

Purvi tried to console her but it was of no use.

Then, they played the CD. Purvi, Ishita and Tarika stayed with Shreya to give her mental support. They didn't know what the CD contained but it was especially addressed to Shreya.

Siddharth was attached to a chair. Sree was standing behind the chair with a knife in hand.

He said,"I know Shreya you really love Daya. So, let's make things easier."

Siddharth was really beaten up. It was hard for him to speak.

Struggling he said,"Please leave me. Please!"

Sree laughed,"No! You are in the way of love. You have to go away."

Saying this, he slit Siddharth's throat and blood spilled everywhere.

"He's gone! Now, Dareya can get their happy ending. "

Then, he set fire to Siddharth's body.

Shreya started crying. Purvi hugged her.

She was never in love with him. But, he was always there for her. If she had thrown away her feelings for him , maybe he would have been alive today.

ACP instructed them to find the place where the video was shoot. Soon, they found the place and a completely burnt body. It was so burnt that it was hard to identify the person.

CID officers along with Aishwarya reached the designated place in the right time.

The place was fully empty.

Aishwarya said,"Sree is really smart. He must have some plans."

Just then,a poisonous gas started spreading and they became unconscious.

After they gained consciousness, they found themselves tied with chains. Sree was sitting in a Chair.

"Look, who have gained consciousness. How did you like my surprise Shreya?"

Shreya shouted,"Shut up! Why did you kill him?"

"Aren't you happy? He wanted to divorce you but you made him feel guilty. You made him feel he was wrong. When the only person who was wrong  from the starting was you!! You are the one in fault Shreya!"

He continued, "All of you are so righteous..," he clapped loudly,"Kavin ruined Aishwarya's life, Ishita ruined my life, Dr. Salunkhe ruined Shweta's life, ACP killed his own son, Abhijeet forgot his own mother, Daya because of you a child has been paralysed..."

Daya said,"What?"

"Yes. You killed his father. That's why, the child didn't get treatment in due time and now he is paralysed."

ACP said,"You can't blame us for everything."

Kavin said,"How did I destroy Aishwarya's life? She said everything was fine."

Sree laughed like a maniac,"Oh, you didn't tell him. Let me tell you. Her uncle wanted her to marry you so that he could get her share of wealth. When she broke the engagement, they started torturing her. They kept her starving. They also tried to poison her."

Sree continued,"But, she is a strong lady. That's why, she survived everything. She survived the fire."

Daya and Abhijeet were trying to get out when Sree was talking. Finally, they broke the chains.
