The Singhania House...

Nitya had a friend named Shikha who lived in a village. Shikha’s brother was getting married, and she was heading to the Singhania house to ask permission to take Nitya along with her.

Coming to the Singhania house for the first time, Shikha was left in shock. She came from a very modest middle-class family and knew nothing of mansions, luxury cars, or a lavish lifestyle.

Looking at the house, Shikha whispered to herself, "Such a huge house... Nitya lives here? I wonder if her parents will even give her permission to come with me."

With these thoughts, Shikha rang the doorbell. A maid opened the gate. Inside the hall, Avyaan and Vaidehi were playing with Vedaksh. Daksh and Avni were laughing as they watched them, while Nitya was busy typing notes on her laptop. As soon as Nitya looked toward the gate and saw Shikha, she immediately jumped up from the couch, ran to her, and hugged her.

Nitya: "Shikha! You’re here!"

Shikha: "Y-yes, Nitya. How are you?"

Nitya invited her inside and asked her to sit on the couch.

Nitya: "I’m doing great. Come, sit down."

Shikha sat on the couch, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Vaidehi: "Nitya dear... who is this?"

Nitya: "Mumma, she’s my friend. We study in college together."

Avni: "I’ll go get something for everyone to eat."

Shikha: "Oh no, no... Bhabhi... actually, I needed to ask for a favor—some permission from all of you."

Avyaan: "What kind of permission, child? You are our daughter’s friend. You can say whatever is on your mind without hesitation."

Nitya: "Yeah Shikha, what is it?"

Shikha: "Actually, my brother is getting married the day after tomorrow. I wanted to take Nitya with me. So, would you all let her...?"

Shikha trailed off, looking nervously at everyone.

Daksh: "Shikha, there’s no need to be so nervous. You are Nitya’s friend, and since Nitya is my sister, that makes you my sister too. We do worry about Nitya, but she makes her own decisions about where she wants to go. You should ask her. If she’s ready, you can take her."

Shikha looked at Nitya, and Nitya looked at Avyaan and Vaidehi. They quickly realized Nitya really wanted to go. Before Nitya could say a word, Avyaan spoke up.

Avyaan: "It’s your brother’s wedding... it wouldn’t be right if your friend wasn't there. Nitya will go with you. Right, Nitya?"

Nitya said happily, "Yes, I’ll go! I’ll go pack my bags right now!"

Everyone smiled at her excitement.

Vaidehi: "By the way, dear, where is your village?"

Shikha: "Aunty, I am from ______ village."

Avni: "That’s wonderful. By going to the village, our Nitya will get to learn so many new things."

A little while later, Nitya came downstairs with her suitcase.

Daksh: "Nitya, take care of yourself. Did you pack everything you need?"

Nitya: "Yes Bhaiya, I’ve got everything."

Avyaan: "Good. Make sure to call us once you reach there."

Nitya: "Okay Papa, I’ll call you."

Nitya then sat in the car with Shikha and drove away.

At Russia... Volkov’s House

There was a massive factory where the word "legal" didn't even exist. Drugs, smuggling, kidnapping—every illegal activity happened there. One of their guards had leaked information to their rivals and was currently tied to a chair in a dark room.

Suddenly, the door opened. A girl in a black dress and black heels walked in. She picked up a knife from the table, ran it along the man’s cheek, and spoke.

Girl: "You know who I am and what I’m capable of... yet you had the audacity to betray me? I have to admire your courage. Come, let’s cut that courage out of you today."

Man: "N-no, please! I made a mistake! P-please let me go, Ma'am... I won’t do it again!"

She leaned in close and said, "Let you go? Without punishment? Nah... RIYANSHI RAICHAND never leaves a game unfinished. I’m going to finish this."

With those words, she pressed the knife hard into his cheeks several times, slashing his face until it was covered in blood. The man screamed in agony.

Man: "Ahhhhh! No! Please don’t do this to me!"

Riyanshi didn’t listen. She picked up a bottle of acid and splashed it on his face. Just then, a man entered—it was Alex.

Alex: "Riyanshi, you killed him?"

Riyanshi: "This is what happens to traitors, Alex. He didn’t deserve to live."

Alex: "He didn't anyway. If you hadn't killed him, I would have. Well, Mom called; she’s calling us home."

Riyanshi: "Fine. Let's go. Tell the guards to dispose of the body properly. If my 'patriot' brother finds out, he’ll have the factory sealed."

Alex started laughing.

Alex: "That’s true. Only we know how many people we’ve had to hide this factory from."

Riyanshi: "Mmm... let's go."

After finishing school in India, Riyanshi had moved here to live with Ivaan and Elara. Shortly after, they arrived home. Elara had prepared Alex and Riyanshi’s favorite dishes, which were laid out beautifully on the table.

Elara: "Where have you two been? It’s been so long. Do you even care about food?"

Riyanshi: "Mami, there was just a lot of work today. Actually, a man tried to double-cross our factory, so we were just teaching him a lesson."

Elara: "Did you teach him?"

Alex: "Very well, Mom. So well that he’ll be afraid to even take his next birth."

Elara: "Good. Now eat. I’ll go check on Ivaan."

After serving them, Elara went to the study and spoke to Ivaan.

Elara: "Your beloved children are back. Now come down and have dinner."

Ivaan: "I'm coming."

Ivaan headed downstairs with Elara.

In Dubai...

There was a man famous in the underworld whom the police had been hunting for years but could never catch. He owned a massive company in Dubai, but no one knew the real man behind the company was a gangster: Shaurya Singh Mehra.

Shaurya’s secretary had died while on an illegal mission for him. Consequently, Shaurya needed a new one. A girl came to the office for an interview and was hired by Shaurya’s Personal Assistant (P.A.).

Today was her first day. Shaurya called her into his office. She was fair-skinned with green eyes, black hair, and pink lips. Captivated by her beauty, Shaurya stared at her for a few seconds. He snapped out of it when the girl spoke.

Girl: "Sir, why did you call me here?"

Shaurya: "N... nothing. By the way, what’s your name?"

Girl: "Natallia."

Shaurya: "Natallia... fine. You are my secretary, so do you know what your work entails?"

Natallia: "Yes sir, Anurag sir (the P.A.) has taught me everything."

Shaurya: "Good. You may go now."

As Natallia started to leave, Shaurya stopped her.

Shaurya: "You know everything? I mean, did Anurag tell you everything?"

Natallia: "Yes sir, he told me all about the work."

Shaurya: "I’m not just talking about office work."

Natallia: "Then what, sir?"

Shaurya: "I have certain missions where you and Anurag will have to accompany me. They are dangerous."

Natallia: "No problem, sir. I can manage."

Shaurya: "Fine. You can go now."

Natallia left the room.

Shaurya (to himself): "I don’t know why... but I feel like I’ve seen her before. I know her... but where?"

Just then, his phone rang, and he got busy with the call.

In Britain

Hridil had gone to Britain on a mission to seal an illegal factory. The owner of that factory was a girl who was a powerful Mafia Queen with deep political ties. As Hridil was sealing the factory, the girl arrived with her bodyguards.

Girl: "Hey man... bad luck. You can't seal my factory."

Hridil: "Just shut up. This factory is operating illegally."

Girl: "I have the papers."

She handed Hridil the documents. Looking at them made Hridil even angrier.

Hridil: "One day, neither you nor this factory will survive."

The girl's bodyguard stepped forward.

Bodyguard: "Do whatever you want, but this factory isn't going anywhere. If you value your life, don't look at this factory again."

Hridil's temper flared.

Girl: "Tsk tsk tsk... I warned you, Hridil. No one can lay eyes on Sonalika’s factory."

Hridil: "One day, I will make sure you and this factory end up in jail, Miss Sonalika."

Hridil stormed off. Sonalika began to laugh.

Bodyguard: "Ma'am, that man is eccentric. He could do anything."

Sonalika: "Relax, Maahir. He can't do anything."

Maahir: "True. You have ruled this factory for years, and I know you will continue to do so."

Sonalika: "Right you are, Maahir. This factory is mine alone. No one can touch it."
