A herculean man wearing a black slacks and a white shirt with shades on walked out of the airport. He was a sight to see for the nearby walkers but his aura and gait oozed off power and warning.

Joel spotted Atharva at the entrance and walked over to carry his luggage and opened the car's back door for him.

Atharva peeled off his shades and leaned back on the crest of the seat closing his eyes : Have things been in order Joel in my absence??

Joel nodded curtly focusing on the road : Yes sir! But.....

Atharva's eyes snapped open : But??????

Joel : Our rival Thapar was very escalated seeing the condition we did of Mehra......

Atharva : Did he dared to try something again??

Joel : I guess one warning was not enough for that thick headed man sir. Yesterday Sam found a threat message at the door step of the penthouse in Nitya mam's name.

Atharva clenched his jaw and his facial featured hardened : Does Nitya know anything about it??

Joel : No sir Sam discarded that note before her arrival.

Atharva : Turn the car towards Thapar's office. Time to take care of that bastard....

Joel nodded and they reached Thapar industries within next thirty minutes. Atharva dialled Thapar and asked him to come downstairs as he's waiting for him. A man almost same age as Atharva came out with a malice look on his wicked face and Joel opened the back door to usher him inside.

Atharva : Drive us to a secluded place Joel

Thapar relaxed back in his seat adjacent to Atharva : The great Atharva Rajwanshi himself coming to me. Nice......

Atharva's face was masked into cold blankness that can give chills to any sane man in this world : You crossed your line Thapar and now you have to pay for it!

Thapar smirked : What did you thought? That I will be afraid and sit back after your useless warning. Don't forget who am I Rajwanshi.......

Atharva chuckled humourlessly : You underestimated me Thapar. Let me show you the glimpse of real Atharva Rajwanshi today. Stop the car near the cliff Joel.

Joel drove for another ten minutes and took a narrow side turn pulling away from the main road and approached a steep cliff area. Atharva came out of the car and Joel dragged Thapar out forcefully who was now shaking from inside for taking Atharva lightly.

Atharva titled his head and Joel pulled out a knife from his pocket. Atharva handed it to the man standing opposite to him and narrowed his eyes.

Atharva : Cut yourself to bleed Thapar.

Thapar : Don't Rajwanshi. If I don't return back to my office in one hour, my men will start looking for me and they know that I am with you.

Atharva snorted : You are such a wuss Thapar. Still trying such childish tactics on me to save yourself. You should have learned your lesson last time when you had bought that swine Mehra and asked him to threaten my sister. You had seen what I did to him didn't you?? Still you got the fucking audacity to bring my wife into your dirty games. Tch tch not acceptable. You should not have even thought about her.

Thapar tried to lunge forward in order to attack Atharva with the knife in his hand but Atharva snatched it from him and in the process, it pierced Thapar's chest. Their eyes widened and Thapar pulled away but due to the impact, he staggered back and slipped off the cliff's edge.

Atharva wiped the blood of his hands with the handkerchief and pulled his shades back on.

Atharva : Burn my handkerchief before discarding and clean the knife thoroughly.
