Meanwhile at Rio De Janeiro in the city of Brazil.

[Scene: Late at night in Vedant's private office. The room is filled with blueprints for car designs, but a gun lies on his desk, and a set of confidential mafia documents sits beside it. Vedant leans back in his chair, gazing at a small framed photo of his mother.]

Vedant's Internal Monologue:

(Thinking to himself)
"It's been so many years, but the pain feels just as sharp. Losing her... It's like a wound that never heals."

[He clenches his fist, holding back his emotions, as he places the photo face-down on his desk. He tries to focus on his work, looking over car blueprints, but his mind keeps drifting.]

Vedant (thinking):
"They think I'm over it. They think I've accepted it... but how could I? How could I let go when the ones who took her away are still out there?"

[He glances at the empty chair across from him, as if seeing his mother's ghost. He closes his eyes briefly, a mixture of sadness and anger on his face.]

Vedant (thinking):
"Every day, I design, I build, I control every detail. It's the only thing that brings me peace."

[He leans back in his chair, looking at the ceiling, as though speaking to her spirit.]

Vedant (softly):
"If you were here, Ma... would you be proud of the man I am now? Or would you be ashamed of the things I've done... the things I'm going to do?"

[He runs his fingers over a blueprint, his expression distant. There's a slight knock, and Vasudev, his father, enters the room, his presence quiet but watchful.]

Vasudev:
"Vedant... it's late. You should rest. You have a meeting tomorrow with the investors, and... our other allies."

Vedant (straightens up, putting on a casual tone):
"I'm just looking over a few designs, Dad. Cars don't just create themselves." (A hint of a smile)

Vasudev (noticing the gun and the documents on the desk):
"Cars and guns, Vedant? You know... she would've hated seeing you like this. Burying yourself in work and... in this other world."

Vedant (voice hardening):
"Maybe. But we don't have a choice, do we? Our enemies didn't just take her; they took your friend's whole family too... They tried to tear apart everything we had."

*[Here the another family referred to Sharon's family]*

Vasudev (sighs, placing a hand on Vedant's shoulder):
"I know, son. But revenge... it's a dangerous path. It consumes more than it gives."

Vedant (coldly):
"Maybe. But I'm not looking for peace, Dad. I'm looking for answers. They hid well, whoever they are. But I'll find them."

[Vedant leans forward, opening one of the confidential files. Maps, lists of rival families, and detailed plans lie in front of him. Vasudev watches him with quiet concern.]

Vasudev:
"Just remember, Vedant... don't lose yourself to this search. It's not just a game of power. You can't bring her back, no matter how many you confront."

Vedant:
"I know, Dad. But this... it's not about power. It's about knowing why. Knowing who was behind it... who tore our family apart."

[He closes the file, picking up the gun and placing it in a drawer with finality. He looks back at his father.]

Vedant:
"I'll deal with the investors tomorrow. And I'll deal with those who cross us. But I promise you... I'll find out the truth."

[Vasudev leaves, a pained look on his face. Vedant is left alone in his office, the shadows closing in around him. He glances once more at his mother's photo, his expression softening briefly.]

Vedant (whispering):
"For you, Ma... I'll make them pay."

[Scene ends with Vedant back at his desk, focused, his eyes burning with a cold determination as he scans through a list of rivals, planning his next steps.]

[Scene: Late at night. Vedant enters his mansion. The halls are silent, shadows filling the corners. He heads to his lounge, where a large window overlooks the city lights.]

[Vedant pours himself a glass of whiskey, then sinks into a leather armchair. He stares at his drink, lost in thought.]

Vedant (thinking):
"Another night... and I'm no closer to finding the truth. Ma... I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this."

[He takes a slow sip, his grip tightening on the glass. His mind drifts back to the past his mother's smile, her laughter, the warmth she brought to his life.]

Vedant (softly, to himself):
"You deserved better. I promise, Ma, I'll find them. The people who took you... they'll pay."

[His eyes close for a moment, memories flashing in his mind...the fire, the screams. He takes another drink, trying to push the images away.]

[Eventually, Vedant leans back, setting the glass down. His eyes grow heavy, exhaustion pulling him under.]

Vedant (murmuring as he drifts off):
"I'll make them pay... for you."

[Scene ends with Vedant, asleep in the chair, shadows falling over him as he rests, still haunted by his memories.]
