*****************

Akash's Residence

"I will not leave that Vikram," Akash growled, his fists clenched in rage.

"Shut up, Akash!" his father snapped. "I've warned you countless times to stay away from that girl. If you cross Vikram's path again, I swear you'll be alone in your battle. Have you ever thought what happens if I'm not there to save you next time? He's a demon. He'll destroy anything in his way, and now you're after his wife? He will not spare you."

"Dad..." Akash's voice was cold but firm. "I know what I'm doing. And I don't expect you to come behind me for help. I will ruin him... no matter what."

His father stared at him for a moment, then walked away in silence, knowing his son was digging his own grave.

Vikram Mansion

"Pugazh, when will mom return?" Pranitha asked, sipping her juice. "It's been a month. I think she's really enjoying her vacation."

"She'll be back next week," Pugazh replied with a smile. "Sara's birthday is in two weeks, so she'll be here before that."

"We should plan a grand party for our darling," Pranitha beamed.

Just then, Vikram and Sana entered with little Sara in Vikram's arms.

"What are you planning?" Vikram asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Bro! We were discussing Sara's birthday," Pranitha said excitedly.

"Hmmm," Vikram nodded, looking at his baby girl. "My princess's birthday should be nothing less than a festival."

"Vikky, let's have a simple party," Sana suggested gently.

"Why?" he pouted playfully. "Please, I have so many wishes for my princess."

"Fine... as you wish," Sana agreed with a smile.

"Pugazh, we'll have the party at our Paradise Hotel. Stop bookings for a week. I want the entire hotel decorated with a princess theme. Invite all the elites of our state for the evening party."

"I'll take care of that," Pranitha jumped in.

"Okay, Pranitha," Vikram nodded.

"But," Sana added, "let's also celebrate the day before with the children at the orphanage."

"Of course," Vikram smiled. "We'll take them all for a day out. Sharath will handle the arrangements. We'll go to a movie and lunch with them."

"Wow," Sana's face lit up. "That sounds amazing."

Suddenly, all conversation stopped as Sara babbled, "Amm... Amm... Amma... Amma..."

Sana's eyes welled with tears, hearing her baby girl call her Amma for the first time. Vikram immediately lifted Sara in his arms and smothered her with kisses. The entire family was overjoyed, cherishing every moment of Sara's growing milestones.

A week later, Amudha returned home. Preparations for Sara's birthday were in full swing. Two days before the big day, Vikram received an unexpected call from Rakshat.

"Vikky," Rakshat's voice was urgent. "Sam and Priyanka escaped from prison."

Vikram's tone turned cold as he answered the phone. "What? How did this happen?"

"Akash paid the jailor," Rakshat replied, his voice tight with frustration. "They escaped last night. The commissioner called me personally and asked that I inform you immediately. A search team's already been deployed."
