Aarav was peacefully sitting on the couch while scrolling through channels on television to find something good to watch when the juice glass in his hand slipped and fell down as he came across a news channel. Hearing the sound of glass breaking, Surekha came out of the kitchen.

“You can’t even hold a glass properly” Aarav didn’t react. He was standing there frozen.

“Why have you made a face like you have seen a ghost?” Still no reply.

“Aarav!” she shouted his name to make him listen but he just pointed at the TV. As she turned to see she was beyond shock.

The well-known business executive Rajvardhan Rathore is involved in the underworld!?

He was killing people for money? Or for deals?

He was responsible for the murder of the famous all-rounder businessman Pratap Singh Rajput.

Billionaires, such as him, can never be satisfied with whatever they have.

Will he get punished for his deeds or will the power win this time?

The news reporter was speaking with these bold headlines above her head and some contracts photo shown beside here as proof.

“Rajveer! Rajvardhan! Vishaka! Mihir! Everyone come down!” She yelled everyone’s name making them run downstairs listening to her stressed voice.

“What happened, Surekha?”

“What happened bhabhi?”

“Yes, what happened Maa” Without saying anything she pointed towards T.V. As they watched the news their eyes were wide in shock.

“What the hell?!” Rajvardhan was the one who yelled.

“Its n-not t-truth it's l-lie they a-are framing m-me!” He justified himself.

“Don’t worry we know you I know you nothing will happen” Rajveer assured his brother not knowing all this is truth. Suddenly doorbell rang startling them all.

As the servant opened the door Inspector along with some sub inspectors enter the house behind them Aakansha and Abhimanyu also walked in. Rajvardhan panicked seeing police, his hands were trembling and sweat beads formed on his forehead.

“Yes Inspector, how may I help you?” Rajveer steps forward while asking.

“We are here to arrest Rajvardhan Rathore” Inspector replied with a stoic face.

“What? Why?” Rajvardhan questioned.

“I think you may have watched the news”

“Inspector our name is big in business people do this kind of things to pull us down you just can’t arrest on basis of nothing”

“We have proofs to arrest him Rajveer sir we just don’t go around and arrest people on basis of rumors”

“Proofs? What kind of proof?” Vishaka interrupted.

“We have CCTV footage, contracts he signed, call recordings”

“No no t-they are f-fabricated ones I d-didn’t do anything I a-am innocent” Rajvardhan spoke in a panic tone.

“If they are fabricated or not the court will decide for now you are the suspect and we have to arrest you”

“I h-have everything w-why would I d-do that w-why w-will I kill m-my f-friend I d-didn’t do it” Trying his best to convince he is innocent.
