The Khanna mansion shimmered under the night sky, its lawn aglow with twinkling string lights. Colorful balloons danced gently in the breeze.

A Small birthday cake, adorned with ten candles, sat atop a lavishly decorated table inside. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow, illuminating the intimate gathering.

Rohit and Kavita, smiled warmly beside their son. Their servants moved discreetly, ensuring every detail was perfect. The night air was filled with laughter and warmth, a sense of joy and love enveloping the estate.

Abhishek's eyes sparkled as he blew out the candles on his 10th birthday cake. The warm glow of the chandelier illuminated the lavish decorations and smiling faces.

"Happy birthday, beta!" Kavita, exclaimed, embracing him tightly.

Abhishek beamed, surrounded by loved ones and the opulent decorations. Rohit, handed him a beautifully wrapped gift.

"Open it, Abhi!" his father urged.

The celebration's joyful atmosphere was shattered by the sound of screeching tires outside. Abhishek's bright smile faltered as a tall, imposing man in his mid-thirties strode in, accompanied by several others. Their faces were unfamiliar, their presence unsettling.

"Raghav? You're here?" Rohit asked, confusion etched on his face as he approached Raghav.

Raghav chuckled, his eyes locked on Abhishek, who stood frozen near his mother by the birthday cake table. The colorful balloons and streamers seemed to mock the sudden tension.

Abhishek's grip on his mother's hand tightened as Raghav knelt before him. "No need to be shy, beta," Raghav said, his voice low and smooth. "Happy Birthday." He handed Abhishek a elegantly wrapped gift box.

Abhishek's eyes darted to his mother, who exchanged a perplexed glance with Rohit. Rohit's nod reassured her, and Kavita's warm smile encouraged Abhishek.

"Take it, Abhi," Kavita said. Abhishek accepted the gift, his smile tentative. "Thanks, uncle." Raghav's chuckled as he ruffled his hair. "Come on, open it."

Raghav's smile twisted into a snarl, his eyes blazing with malevolence. "I'm your father's old friend....but now his sworn enemy," he spat, the words dripping with venom.

Abhishek's hands trembled as he lifted the lid. His eyes widened in terror. Inside, a blood-stained knife lay amidst small, gruesome pieces of meat. Abhishek's scream pierced the air. Kavita and Rohit's eyes widened in horror.

As Abhishek opened the box, Raghav's voice grew louder, more menacing. "It's your assistant Chandra, that old hag's. Cutted from his decaying body." The air seemed to thicken with horror.

Rohit's eyes bulged, his face ashen. Kavita covered Abhishek's eyes, sobbing uncontrollably as she stumbled backward, her body shaking.

"He told his last wish is to see you before he dies.." Raghav sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "But I couldn't grant it before he died... unfortunately, so I brought it here. The old hag's meat, a token of our broken bond."

Raghav's voice turned venomous, his words spewing forth like poison. "You and Chandra cost me everything. My properties, built over years of sweat and blood, gone. My family, my world, destroyed by your deceit."

Rohit stepped forward, pleading, his hands trembling. "Raghav, listen! I didn't destroy your empire. I just stood by the truth. Those properties were built on innocent blood and deceit. You were cheating, Raghav. Our company partners-"
