Obsession (For their sister)

Sahil's Cruel side

Paris, France

Akanksha Mansion,

In the Akanksha Mansion, Chirag and Akanksha were engrossed in a comedy movie, their laughter echoing softly in the dimly lit hall. The lights were kept low but not completely off, as Akanksha had a fear of darkness. Her fear, however, was always lessened when she was with her brothers.

Sahil emerged from his room and saw them absorbed in the movie, seemingly unaware of anything else around them. He checked his phone, waiting anxiously for an update. Suddenly, his phone rang quietly, and he quickly picked up the call, stepping away to avoid disturbing them.

"What happened, bro? Did anything happen at the Malhotra mansion?" Sahil asked urgently.

There was a pause on the other end before Aman began to narrate the events that had unfolded at the Malhotra mansion. As he listened, Sahil's face contorted with anger.

"How can you support him in this decision? I'm not going to send my baby there to stay with those people," Sahil nearly shouted, his voice filled with fury.

Aman replied calmly, "Am I unknown to you?"

Sahil hesitated, then said, "No, bhai. Except for you, everyone there is unknown to her. Their personalities are unknown to her. You know how innocent she is. They will manipulate her; they will take advantage of her innocence."

Aman tried to reassure him. "If Rohan wants her to stay there, he must have planned something. You know he would never do anything to hurt her. And if anything happens, I'll be there to chop off their bloody hands if they even think about hurting her. He has planned everything, just trust him."

Sahil sighed, conflicted. "I trust him, bro, but it's her. How can I stay calm?"

Aman understood his brother's concern. "I know, Sahil. But we have to trust Rohan's judgment. He's always looked out for her. We'll make sure she's safe. I'll be there the whole time, keeping an eye on everything."

Sahil remained silent for a moment, then reluctantly agreed. "Alright, bhai. But if anything seems off, you call me immediately. I won't hesitate to come there and get her."

Aman promised, "I will, Sahil. I promise. Now, try to relax. We'll handle this together."

As Sahil ended the call, he looked back at Chirag and Akanksha, who were still lost in their movie. His heart ached with worry, but he knew he had to trust his brothers. They had always protected her, and this time would be no different.

Sahil looked at her happy face and said, "I swear, baby, we will never let anyone hurt you because you're our lifeline. We can't live without you. I promise that if you don't want to go there, I will never let Rohan bhai take you." Then he glanced at the time and called out, "Rani Kaki, serve dinner."

Rani Kaki noticed the tension on his face but didn't ask anything, quietly ordering the servants to prepare the meal. Sahil walked over to Chirag and Akanksha, saying, "Baby, come have dinner. You've been playing games and watching TV since noon, and big bro, you too. Come on, both of you."

Hearing Sahil, they turned their attention to him. Akanksha, clinging to Sahil, asked cutely, "Chote Bhaiya, are you angry with me?" Her question was so endearing that Sahil's tension dissipated. "No, baby, I'm just reminding you both to have your dinner. You didn't even eat anything in the evening."

Akanksha put her hand on her stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, bhai. Come, let's eat. By the way, where is Rohan bhai?"

Sahil shook his head and replied, "You know, baby, he told you both he's going out for some important work and will be back before 9."

They both nodded, remembering. The trio sat down for dinner, with Chirag feeding Akanksha and both brothers enjoying their meal. Just as they finished, Sahil's phone rang. He answered and after a brief conversation said, "Okay, I'm coming in half an hour."

He looked at the duo, who were eyeing him curiously, and said, "I have to go to the office for a very important meeting. Please stay at home and don't do anything. Go to sleep; Rohan bhai will be here in 15 minutes. I'll go change my clothes."

They nodded silently. Sahil went upstairs and changed into a dark blue business suit. When he came back downstairs, he saw Akanksha and Chirag still sitting there. Akanksha walked over to him and signaled for him to bend down, as she was short. He bent, and Akanksha kissed his forehead, saying, "May God bless you. Don't worry, you'll get the deal."

Sahil smiled and said, "Now the deal will be mine, as my baby said. Good night, baby. Good night, bhai." They both wished him good night, and Sahil went outside where the chauffeur was waiting. He sat in the car, his face becoming emotionless, void of the smile that was there when he was with his siblings. The chauffeur started the engine and headed toward their destination.

Inside the mansion, Akanksha and Chirag returned to watching the movie they had been enjoying before dinner. Unaware of the fact everything that what is going on  they were enjoying watching movies.

As the car sped through the streets, Sahil's expression hardened. The warmth he had shown his siblings was replaced with a cold, calculating look. His phone buzzed again, and without looking, he answered, "What is it?"

A trembling voice on the other end responded, "S-sir, we have the information you requested about the Malhotra's business dealings."

"Good," Sahil said curtly. "I want everything ready by tomorrow morning. No mistakes. You know the consequences if you fail."

"Y-yes, sir. It will be done."

Sahil ended the call and leaned back in his seat, a sinister smile playing on his lips. His thoughts drifted back to the conversation he had overheard earlier about the engagement and Akanksha’s stay at the Malhotra mansion. They think they can manipulate her? They have no idea what they’re dealing with.

Arriving at his destination, Sahil stepped out of the car and entered a dimly lit building. Inside, a group of men waited for him, their faces shadowed with fear and respect. Sahil’s cruel reputation preceded him; he was known for his ruthless tactics in both business and personal dealings.

“Gentlemen,” Sahil began, his voice cold and authoritative, “I have a task for you. The Malhotra family thinks they can outmaneuver us. I want their every move tracked. No one steps out of line without me knowing about it.”

One of the men, bolder than the others, asked, “What about the girl, sir? Your sister?”

Sahil’s eyes flashed with anger. “You don’t mention her. Ever. She’s off-limits. But the rest of them? Do whatever it takes to keep them in line. If they so much as breathe wrong, I want to know about it.”

The men nodded, understanding the unspoken threat. Sahil was not one to cross, and his orders were to be followed without question. The meeting continued with Sahil laying out his plans, each more ruthless than the last.

As the night wore on, Sahil's cruel demeanor only grew more intense. He enjoyed the power, the control, and the fear he instilled in others. It was a far cry from the loving brother Akanksha knew, but it was a side of him that ensured her safety and dominance in a world that was often unforgiving.

Leaving the meeting, Sahil felt a sense of satisfaction. He knew that the Malhotras were in for a rude awakening. His sister might be innocent and delicate, but they would go to any lengths to protect her—and that meant being as ruthless as necessary.
