After 1 Week
Time:- Night- 12:45
Location:- an old factory

S

umedh saw mallika near a old factory- he get happy after seeing her. He was about to call her but she move to the other side.

He followed the sound until he came upon a slightly ajar door. Inside, he could see Mallika standing with a man, arguing heatedly. The man was on his knees, his face pale with terror.

Men:- please! I swear, I’ll never betray you again!

the man begged, his voice trembling.

“Lies,” Mallika said coldly, her voice devoid of the warmth Sumedh had always known. She pulled a gleaming pistol from her belt and pointed it at the man.

Sumedh’s breath caught in his throat.

The man’s pleas turned to desperate sobs.

Man:- have a family! Spare me, I beg you!

Mallika’s face remained impassive.

Mallika:- you should have thought of that before you betrayed my trust

Before Sumedh could comprehend what was happening, Mallika pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot shattered the silence, and the man slumped lifelessly to the floor.

"Mallika" sumedh whispered

Mallika get shocked, when she listen the soft whispered and truned around and saw sumedh who is looking at her with fear in his eyes

Mallika:- sumedh

She walks toward him but stopped in middle after listening to his words

Sumedj:- Stay away from me!

he shouted, his voice shaking.

Mallika’s expression softened.

Mallika:- Sumedh, listen to me. I can explain—

“Explain?” he cut her off, his voice rising.

Sumedh:- You just killed someone! You… you’re a monster!

Her chest tightened at his words.

Mallika:- Sumedh, please, you have to understand. This world I’m in… it’s complicated. I’d never hurt you

She pleaded, taking a step toward him.

But Sumedh stumbled back, his eyes wide with fear.

Sumedh:- don’t... don't.. comee, stayy awayy from mee

Mallika:- Sumedh samjhoo pleasee merii baat toh mein tumhe hurt nahi karungi trust me sumedh..

She was about to hug him but he pushed her

Sumedh:' I HATE YOU

The sight of his terror shattered her heart. The boy who had always looked at her with admiration now stared at her as though she were a demon.

Mallika:- sumedh…

Mallika whispered her eyes filled with tears. Before Mallika could respond, Sumedh turned and fled, his footsteps echoing through the halls. She didn’t chase him. For the first time in her life, she felt truly powerless.

Sumedh ran until he couldn’t run anymore. He collapsed onto a bench, his chest heaving as tears streamed down his face. He thinks that mallika is too good, too sweet and his bestie, but now, all he felt was fear and betrayal.

Next Day- Night

Mallika stood on the rooftop of an abandoned building, her eyes locked on the warehouse below. The man she had been searching for all these years was finally within her reach.

Rudra

A ruthless criminal, a ghost in the underworld, and the man responsible for ruining countless lives—including hers

The cold wind blew against her face as she adjusted the gun in her grip. Her men were already positioned around the warehouse, waiting for her signal.

With a silent command, Mallika moved. She entered the warehouse swiftly, her boots making no sound on the concrete floor. Her men followed, weapons drawn, their movements precise.

The place smelled of oil, metal, and death.

And then—gunfire erupted. Bullets rained down from the shadows as Rudra’s men attacked. Mallika took cover behind a stack of crates, her heart pounding.

How did he know?

Her men fought bravely, but Rudra’s forces were brutal, merciless. Within minutes, the air was filled with the sound of dying screams.

Mallika gritted her teeth. She couldn’t lose here.

She reloaded her gun and moved swiftly, taking down enemies with precise shots. But as she fought her way forward, her blood ran cold.

Her men—all of them—were dead and then, she heard the slow clap.

Rudra.

"So, the little girl finally found me," he mused, his deep voice echoing in the empty warehouse.

Rudra:- I must say, I expected more from you, Mafia Queen

Her grip on her gun tightened. She wouldn’t let him escape.

Mallika:- I’m here to end you

Rudra chuckled darkly.

Rudra:- Bold words. Let’s see if you can back them up

And then, he moved.

Faster than she expected.

Mallika dodged as he lunged at her. She raised her gun, but before she could fire, he kicked it out of her hands with terrifying strength.

They clashed.

The fight was brutal. Mallika was skilled, but Rudra was stronger, faster. Every attack she landed barely seemed to faze him, while each blow he struck made her bones scream in pain.

She was losing. With a desperate move, she swung her knife at his neck—but he caught her wrist mid-air.

Rudra:- You're not strong enough to kill me, Mallika and that’s your biggest mistake.

Then—he slammed her against the metal wall.

The impact knocked the breath out of her. Blood dripped from her forehead as she struggled to stay conscious.

Rudra leaned down, smirking.

Rudra:- You should’ve never come after me

He raised his gun, pointing it at her head. Mallika’s vision blurred as blood dripped from her forehead.  He smirked, his gun still pointed at her head.

Rudra:- You fought well, but this is where your story ends

Just as he was about to pull the trigger—

BANG!

A loud gunshot echoed through the warehouse, but it wasn’t aimed at Mallika. Instead, one of Rudra’s men collapsed, blood pooling beneath him.

What?

Before anyone could react, the air shifted. A heavy, suffocating aura filled the warehouse. The temperature seemed to drop as footsteps echoed from the entrance.

Rudra stiffened. His smirk vanished.

Mallika, barely holding onto consciousness, forced her eyes open.

And that’s when she saw him.

A tall figure stood at the entrance, his presence alone making the entire room feel smaller. His face was hidden behind a dark mask, his aura radiating power and destruction.

The men around them started trembling. Some even took a step back out of pure fear. Because everyone knew who he was.

The Underworld Don.

A legend. A shadow. A nightmare in human form. A man whose name alone was enough to burn someone alive.

Mallika’s breath hitched. Before Rudra could react, the mafia king moved.

Fast & Deadly.

He took down the nearest man with a single blow, his fist cracking bone. Another lunged at him, but he dodged effortlessly, twisting the man’s arm until a sickening snap filled the air.

His men stormed in, weapons blazing, engaging in a brutal fight with Rudra’s forces. Screams and gunfire filled the warehouse as chaos erupted.

Rudra, recovering from his shock, pulled his gun towards him. But before he could fire, he was already in front of him.

A powerful kick sent Rudra crashing into a stack of crates

"You made a mistake touching her" his voice was deep, laced with danger.

She felt something familiar. As if… she had known him before

Rudra—the ruthless killer she had been chasing for years—looked shaken.

Then—it happened.

A sharp blade sliced through the air, catching the edge of his mask.

And in the flickering firelight, the mask fell.

Time stopped.

Mallika’s breath caught in her throat.

Because the man—the Underworld King, the legend, the most dangerous mafia leader in the world—wasn’t a stranger.

He was—

"Papa"

Her voice came out as a whisper, but it felt like a scream inside her head.

Anuj Kapadia

A name she had known her entire life. A face she had seen many times. The man who had been a mystery to her since childhood. Whom she loved also..

Her stepfather.

Her mother’s husband.

Her family.

No. No. This can’t be real.

Anuj’s dark, sharp eyes locked onto hers, and in that instant, she saw something she never had before.

Anuj:- princess

His voice was deep, rough, yet filled with something unspoken. She felt the air leave her lungs.

The most feared man in the world… was her step father.

Her thoughts broke when rudra lunged. He pulled out a hidden blade and charged at Anuj with a crazed roar.

Mallika tried to move, to warn him— but Anuj was faster.

In a single swift motion, he dodged, grabbed Rudra’s wrist, and with brutal precision, snapped it. A scream tore from Rudra’s throat, but Anuj didn’t stop.

With cold, deadly eyes, he twisted the knife from Rudra’s grip and in one final move—plunged it straight into his heart. DEAD

Anuj let him fall to the ground, wiping the blood off his hands as if it were nothing. His focus shifted immediately to Mallika.

She was injured, blood dripping from her wounds, yet she didn’t flinch when he crouched beside her.

For a moment, neither spoke he reached out, gently cupping her cheek. His touch was surprisingly… warm. Protective.

"Let’s get out of here," he said, his voice quieter now.

Mallika swallowed hard.

She had spent years hunting criminals. Never did she expect her biggest mystery would be her own father.
