CHAPTER 1️⃣0️⃣4️⃣

*AUTHORS POV*

Saransh entered the penthouse along with Arsalan, Rehan, and Abhiraj. "What happened? Did you find out anything?" Said Armaan rushing towards them. Saransh shook his head, making him dejected. "We went to the location where the trackers were deactivated, but they had left already, and the health minister had gone underground." Said Saransh. "Damn!" Said Armaan raking his hand in his hair furiously. "Don't worry, Armaan. Seher is with them. She's my tigress. She won't let anything happen to them." Said Arsaaln proudly. "I know, and that's our only hope." Said Armaan, looking at him. Saransh's phone rang, but the number wasn't visible and appears to be a private number. "Mr. Saransh Malhotra. I heard you're looking for me." Said the person from the other side. "Yes, I'm. But the coward like you are had hidden himself in his hole." Said Saransh angrily. "So much anger is injurious to health, Officer. especially when I have your precious wife and sister in my custody." He said, making him shocked while the boys were on alert.

Saransh put the call on the loudspeaker, making the boys gather around it. "I knew it already that you're the one behind this and Manish Khattar's murder but you've wrong information. You've my two sisters and my wife, " said Saransh. "Yeah, whatever you want, you could say like that. But I have them is the main point. I want you to cancel all the allegations you had issued on me, plus I need Nikhil out of your custody. Keep them ready, and I'll call in the next 5 minutes. You'll be able to see them with your own eyes. So, that you would get some motivation." He said before hanging up. "Armaan, go and call Noorie along with Ahaan. We'll be in Ahaan's apartment. Tell Noorie to bring her laptop. Go quick." Said Arsalan looking at him. He rushed to call her, and Samrat came out of Grandma's where he was resting. Maya and Seerat, along with Mallika, were with her.

"What happened, boys?" Asked Samrat. Saransh told him about the call. "You aren't going anywhere. I would also like to see the person who had the guts to get my daughters." Said Samrat. Noorie rushed to them with her laptop. "Noorie Bear, connect my phone to your laptop. He said he's going to video call in five minutes." Said Saransh passing her his phone. "It's done." Said Noorie. The call was made again. This time, it was a video call. The call was connected, they couldn't see anything apart from the girls, the walls were covered in black. The girls were tied to the chairs, "Hello again." Said the person whose just voice was heard. "Sunshine??" "Aira" "Seher." Three voices could be heard at different times. "Uff! Young love." Said the man amused. "So, the deal is very simple, the proof that you have against me I want it. The allegations should be denied along with Nikhil's release." Said the man.

"And why do you think we're going to give what you want?" Said Samrat making his presence. "Major. Samrat Malhktra. Ex co-chief of the special squad. Brother-in-law of Azlaan Qureshi. Am I right? Nice to meet you, sir." He addressed Samrat. "You know me very well, it seems. Then don't forget that even if I'm retired, I was leading a powerful team for a reason." Said Samrat. "I know about you, Major. But you all don't seem to know about me." Said the man. As soon as he said that, the masked men surrounded the girls. "One scratch at them, and you know what I could do." Said Sara in her powerful voice, making the men take a step back. "Woah! The power you seem to hold, Dr. Sara. You scared my men. Boys, don't touch the girls. We have our dear Sara Ma'am with us." Said the leader who was also wearing the mask. Just as he said that, he swooshed past the men and stabbed Sara with the knife in her arms, making her close her eyes in pain. Roshni and Samaira screamed her name along with the boys and Samrat.

"Rajneesh, stop your men. Otherwise, I swear when I get my hands on them, I'll tear them apart." Said Arsalan loudly grabbing their attention. His call was so loud that he shook the men to the core along with the leader and Rajneesh, who was behind the camera listening to them. The men took a step back, "Wow! I'm impressed both husband and wife had such fierce personality. You love your wife, don't you, Mr.Arsalan? Get the orders passed fast, you've time till the next morning. Otherwise, the next time, my men won't be stopping after a single scratch. The clock is ticking, and it's a waste to track my call. You won't be able to do it. Major think wisely, your doll's neck in my hands. It won't take us much time to twist it." He said before hanging up the call. Samrat slumped down on the coach, remembering the scene. He had promised Azlan to protect her with his life, but looking at the blood flowing from her arms, he felt that he failed at that moment.
