Suyodhana POV

"Sir? You called for me?" I bowed before the Sleeper.

"Ahhh, yes. Suyodhana. It is quite the matter. I am sure you heard the rumor? I am dying?" He asks.

"Yes, sire" I replied

"Well, its true. And I have chosen you to take over." He said.

"I-What?" I ask and he chuckles.

"You know what I said."

"Thank you, sire but I am afraid I can't accept. I work for you and you alone, sir"

"I should have known, loyal as ever." he says and dismisses me

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walk to give in my report of the most recent raid to the Sleeper only to overhear him talking to two other people. 

"I want my DNA fused with him" The Sleeper said in a demanding voice

"But sir, it would take a lot of money. A million at least." said another voice. Dr. Rile.

"That will be sorted won't it, Sleeper?" Says the last voice. Mr. Acharya.

"I want to BE Suyodhana. Make it happen and make me more powerful" Sleeper says and dismisses them as I hide.

Shit. What am I going to do?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to write to Aru. Paper, pen, ok. What do I say. I sighed and poured my heart out.

Hello my beautiful morning star,

It's been so long. Read carefully, Aru, this could endanger your life but you and your mother must know. I never forgot Krithika. Tell her I love her, please. I had to do everything I did for Kara's survival. And I never killed anyone, I promise. Your mom thought that, I know but I never did. My boss, the sleeper is dying and wants me to take over. But the power is horrifying, Aru. I don't want it.

The Sleeper, he is up to something. I overheard him, he's working on a project. Project Transfer. He is going to do something with my DNA, he'll merge himself with me, so he won't die until I do. I don't know if there is a override or anything. He is going to make himself dominant so he'll have a hold on me. I'm scared but I want you and your mother to know, I love you both, I'm so sorry. What happens to me is in my own hands.

You both are probably wondering about Kara. She is healthy and well. She was sent under the care of my best friend, Rohini. Kara is happy with Lyra and I regularly visit her. She knows I am her father and you both are more than welcome to visit

The place: Villa 385, Hillford street, Main Rd.

I believe you made new friends. Aiden Acharya, is also dealing with his father. His father is associated with our gang, Aru. Please be careful and help them if you can. Tell them. His father, he cheats in his cases and destroys his evidence in such a way that no one can find them. And if the evidence is a person, he asks us to kill them. Do not trust him for anything. Please.

I tried to leave, I really did. But I couldn't. The debt was too high and the Sleeper loves the way he can control me. He'll not leave me for another 10 years and if what I think is right, then my whole lifetime. I am so so sorry, Aru.

I love you, my dear morning star. Never forget that. If I come for you, run. It is not me, I swear but kill me if you must. Do not hesitate or feel bad. I did this to myself.
