Whisper of the Night

Chapter 35 : Whispers of the Past

Author's POV:-

Kabir Malik stood in his hideout, a stark contrast to the Shekhawat Estate's grandeur. The room was a cluttered labyrinth of maps, photographs, and blueprints. Dim, flickering lights cast long shadows on the walls, adding to the atmosphere of menace and foreboding. Kabir's face was illuminated by the glow of a single desk lamp, revealing eyes filled with a cold, unrelenting anger.

His accomplices, a group of hardened men, were gathered around a large table. The tension in the room was palpable as they studied the detailed blueprints of the Shekhawat Estate, their eyes darting between the maps and Kabir's intense gaze.

Kabir: "Tonight, they'll remember why they should have feared me. They thought they could bury me, leave me to rot. But I'm back, and I'm more dangerous than ever."

Rajeev, Kabir's right-hand man, glanced up from the blueprints, concern etched into his features.

Rajeev: "Are you sure this is going to work? They have top-notch security. They're prepared for any kind of attack."

Kabir's lips curled into a grim smile as he walked over to the table, his finger tracing a path on the map.

Kabir: "They may have their defenses, but they don't know what's coming. We've spent years planning this, gathering every piece of information. Their arrogance will be their downfall."

A single flashback begins, transporting us to a tense meeting room from years ago. The setting is a lavish office, its opulence starkly contrasting the tumultuous emotions within. Rajvansh Shekhawat, younger and more formidable, sits behind a grand desk, his face a mask of cold calculation. Across from him sits Kabir Malik, his face a mix of desperation and anger.

Flashback:

Kabir Malik: "You promised me a significant share of the profits, Rajvansh. I followed through on everything, and now you're leaving me with nothing?"

Rajvansh Shekhawat: (voice cold and unyielding) "The terms have changed, Kabir. You've become a liability. The partnership is terminated."

Kabir Malik: (voice rising in anger) "You can't just discard me like this! I was instrumental in building your empire!"

Rajvansh Shekhawat: (gesturing to the bodyguards) "You were useful while it suited me. Now, you're a risk I can't afford. Your involvement ends here."

As Rajvansh's bodyguards approach, Kabir's eyes burn with rage. He is forcibly escorted out of the office, his face a portrait of betrayal and fury.

Back to Present:

Kabir's eyes snapped open, returning to the present. The bitterness of the past still lingered in his heart, fueling his resolve. He clenched his fists, his face a mask of grim determination.

Kabir: "They thought they could erase me, leave me in the shadows. But tonight, I bring their world crashing down. They will pay for their betrayal."

Rajeev: "And the Shekhawats' family? They're not just targets. They're part of something bigger."

Kabir: "The Shekhawats have lived comfortably on their high horse for far too long. Their past sins are catching up with them, and they will be made to answer for their arrogance."

Kabir's gaze swept over his accomplices, who nodded in agreement, their faces a mix of eagerness and apprehension.

Rajeev: "What's the plan? How do we start?"

Kabir: "We begin by targeting their weakest link—Kaira. Her presence here is the perfect way to shake them up. Disrupt their world, cause chaos, and watch them crumble."

Rajeev: "And after we've unsettled them?"

Kabir: "We target their core—their business, their family, everything they hold dear. They will be stripped of their power and influence, brought to their knees."

The room was charged with a grim energy as Kabir's words sank in. His accomplices exchanged uneasy glances, fully aware of the stakes involved.

As the clock ticked closer to midnight, the tension in the air thickened. The Shekhawat Estate, with its serene facade, was oblivious to the storm brewing within Kabir's mind. The tranquility of the estate belied the danger that loomed just beyond the horizon.

Kabir: "Prepare yourselves. Tonight, we make our move. By dawn, the Shekhawats will be nothing but a memory."
