Chapter 4: The Kauravas Strike Back
360 Words
The morning sun barely rises over Indrapolis when the city’s elite wake up to chaos.
News channels, blogs, and social media are flooded with a bombshell report exposing shady dealings within Kaurava Group. Anonymous leaks reveal how Darian Kaurava manipulated stock markets, bribed officials, and crushed competitors using illegal tactics.
Inside the Kaurava Group headquarters, Darian watches the breaking news on a massive screen, his jaw tightening. The conference room is filled with his top executives, their faces pale with worry.
Sebastian Kaurava slams his fist on the table. “Who the hell leaked this?”
Roman Kaurava, scrolling through Twitter, smirks. “Looks like someone’s playing dirty. I bet it’s Alex.”
Darian remains silent for a moment, his cold eyes scanning the headlines. Then, with an eerie calm, he speaks.
“If Alex thinks he can hurt us with words, he’s a fool.”
He turns to Vincent Malhotra, the head of Kaurava Group’s legal team.
“Bury this. Call our media contacts, push a counter-narrative. And find out who’s behind the leaks.”
Sebastian nods. “And what about Alex?”
Darian leans back in his chair, a sinister smile forming.
“We make sure he regrets ever thinking he could challenge me.”
Meanwhile, in the Underground
At a safe house in the old industrial district, Alex and his brothers sit in front of laptops, watching the chaos unfold. Their first move was a success, but they know Darian won’t stay silent.
Drake Vyas leans against the wall, arms crossed. “That was just a small blow. Darian won’t fall that easily.”
Leo grins. “Let him come. We’re ready.”
Drake shakes his head. “No, you’re not. You just woke up a monster.”
Alex exhales, already knowing what’s coming next. “What’s our next move?”
Before Drake can answer, the power in the safe house goes out. The room is plunged into darkness.
A second later, their phones buzz with messages.
Unknown Number:
"You wanted war, Alex? Now you'll get one."
A second later, a massive explosion shakes the building next to them.
The war has just escalated.
To be continued…
