"What have you done? Why did you ruin everything? Our story was a fairytale dream come true."
She kept thrashing her arms on the door with full force, only for her pleas to fall on deaf ears. Her wedding bangles broke and fell, her wrists bled and h...
“But sir, your father's name is cited here as reference. He has signed the previous annotations.”
He got up from his seat immediately.
“What are you saying? My father can never approve such a scam.” He threw away the pen and grabbed the papers from the man to tear them.
“Are you sure, sir? We have legit proof.” The man raised an eyebrow and smirked.
“Proof? Are you trying to threaten me?” He was getting furious by every passing second.
“Wait, sir, calm down and have your seat. For what you're about to hear may not let you stand at ease.” The man took out his phone from his pocket and dialled a number. It was answered after three rings.
“Yes, Devansh, has the deal been signed? Hope my son is not suspecting anything.”
Rudra immediately recognised his father's voice. He was shaken to the core.
No way. It's Dad.
He collapsed in his chair.
“I hope there won't be any problem from your side on signing the papers, sir.”
He hung his head and held his face in his palms. He began to sob silently.
“Please leave. I need some time in solitude.”
The man left the cabin. Rudra laid his head on the table, small teardrops escaping his eyes and wetting the glass below.
I can't believe this. Why would my father lie to me? Why would he keep such a crucial part of his career hidden from me?
He was in disbelief after what had happened.
His father was selling away government land without consent and illegally to acquire profit. He was also bribing many officials to exploit the public and keep them in the dark.
All his life, he had idolised his father. Although he knew he was crooked, he never expected him to stoop so low and be this evil. His mother had always raised him to be an obedient, morally right man. And he couldn't believe the man who's blood ran in his veins, was completely opposite.
Am I a pawn in his game? Am I merely a puppet he can manipulate?
He didn't know what to do or whom to speak to. At this point, it was obvious that everyone was his father's tenant.
Kalyani was right. This politics has gotten into my veins too much.
He got up to leave the office and return home.
He needed to speak to Kalyani.
