Now, let's dive into this intense chapter!

At the Warehouse

Aditya's POV

Walking into one of my warehouses, I was greeted by my men stationed around the cells and offices. As I approached the cell, Rudra stormed out, his voice sharp with frustration.

"That motherfucker isn't speaking out!" he growled.

Controlling my anger, I replied in an icy tone, "I'll handle it. If he doesn't cooperate, he's going to wish for hell."

Stepping into the dimly lit cell, I took in the sight. The bastard was suspended from the ceiling, hanging over a bed of scalding hot water-a special welcome for traitors.

"Get him down and tie him to the chair," I ordered my men. They obeyed quickly, tossing him onto the cold floor before securing him upright.

I strode to the torture table and grabbed a hammer, letting its weight settle in my hand. Turning to face him, I asked coldly, "Are you going to spill out, or shall I start something you'll regret?"

The traitor smirked, his bloodied face defiant as he sneered, "You Rajputs think you're untouchable? I'll destroy you. This is just the beginning."

I laughed darkly, stepping closer.

"Destroy me? How? By leaking information about my weapons shipment to the police? Even if ten shipments get intercepted, it won't matter. Do you know why? Because that's just one day of my income."

Leaning in, I continued, my voice sharp, "I trusted you, and you betrayed me. Do you even know how you ended up here?"

Flashback

I was in my office, engrossed in work, when Rudra and Abhinav barged in, followed by my secretary and close friend, Rishabh. All three looked tense.

"How many times have I told you to knock before entering?" I said without looking up.

"Adi, there's a big problem," Rudra said, his voice filled with panic.

I looked up, my glare piercing. "What happened now?"

They explained everything-the betrayal, the lost shipment, and the traitor's involvement.

"Hack into the ship's system and send our best team to retrieve the goods. I don't care what it takes. He's going to wish he never crossed me," I said coldly.

Today, 2 PM

"Rudra, any updates? Did you find anything?" I asked, pacing in my office.

Rudra smirked, a hint of excitement in his voice. "Good news, Adi. Two hours ago, I received a link from an anonymous IP address. At first, I thought it was someone trying to hack into our system, but then I got a message from a private number."

"What did it say?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"It said, 'Get your stuff back from here. I'm helping you for my fun. La Rosa Nera.' Along with the message, they sent a picture of our shipment and that bastard tied to a chair-clearly tortured. I doubted it at first, but I sent Abhinav and a team to check. Everything was intact, not a single item missing. They're on their way back with him now."

I was momentarily stunned. Someone else had gotten involved?

"Did you trace the IP address?" I asked, my tone sharp.

Rudra shook his head. "No, their system is impenetrable. Whoever they are, they're using top-notch encryption. The only clue we have is the name: La Rosa Nera."

I leaned back in my chair, a smirk forming on my face.

"The Black Rose. Interesting."

Flashback Ends

Back in the cell, I told the traitor exactly how he ended up here. Yet he chuckled, his defiance infuriating me.

"You dare to torture me, and you think they will leave you? I am his most trusted man. He will destroy you and your family!" he said.

Without hesitation, I slammed the hammer into his one eye.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!" His scream echoed through the cell.

"Let's see who he is and how he will destroy me," I said.

"Keep torturing him," I ordered my men, my voice void of emotion. "Don't stop until he begs for death."

I stepped out of the cell and headed to the showers, washing away the blood and grime. Changing into a fresh suit, I left the warehouse, driving home in silence.

But my mind was far from quiet.

Who is The Black Rose?

Who is she? Why did she help me?

And why does her interference feel so... calculated?

And who is the real bastard in this game?
