A Silent Storm

The next morning, the Oberoi mansion was far from peaceful.

Every sibling was preparing for the battle ahead in their own way.

Anirudh was on the phone, speaking in sharp, clipped tones with his legal contacts. Documents lay scattered across the table as he worked to ensure Siddharth Malhotra would have no way to strike back thrjuough the law.

Ayush, surprisingly silent for once, was going through financial reports. If Siddharth planned to attack Oberoi Industries, they had to be prepared.

Aryan, on the other hand, was excited. "So, what’s the plan? Do we take down his businesses first or expose his dirty secrets?"

Avni, sitting on the couch, exhaled. "We should destroy everything. His power, his influence—everything that makes him feel untouchable."

Arnav stood near the window, arms crossed, his mind calculating every possibility.

And then, Vikram Sethi walked in.

A Deal with the Devil

Vikram smirked as he looked around. "I see you’re all busy planning. Good. Because I have something that might speed up the process."

Anirudh narrowed his eyes. "We don’t trust you."

Vikram chuckled. "That’s fair. But you need me."

He placed a USB drive on the table.

"Everything you need to destroy Siddharth is in here."

Ayush raised an eyebrow. "That easy, huh? Just a simple drive with all his secrets?"

Vikram’s smirk widened. "Not quite. This is just the beginning."

Arnav finally turned to face him. "What’s on it?"

Vikram leaned in. "Proof of illegal business deals. Money laundering. Connections to politicians. And most importantly—evidence that he tried to have someone killed."

Aryan whistled. "Let me guess—us?"

Vikram nodded.

Avni’s fists clenched. "That bastard."

Anirudh exhaled. "This is good, but it’s not enough. Men like Siddharth don’t just fall because of a few documents. He’ll find a way to cover it up."

Vikram nodded approvingly. "That’s why we need to hit him where it hurts most. His reputation."

A Dangerous Play

Arnav picked up the USB. "What’s your plan?"

Vikram’s eyes gleamed. "Simple. We don’t just leak this. We frame him for something bigger. Something that will make everyone turn against him."

Ayush smirked. "I like the sound of that."

Anirudh, however, looked cautious. "We don’t do anything illegal."

Vikram sighed. "You’re such a lawyer. Fine. We won’t do anything illegal. We’ll just… manipulate the truth."

Avni leaned forward. "How?"

Vikram pulled out his phone and showed them a picture.

It was of Siddharth Malhotra… meeting with a known criminal.

"This was taken last night. A little birdie told me they’re planning something big. If we leak this at the right time, with the right story, Siddharth will be in deep trouble."

Arnav’s smirk was sharp. "Perfect."

But Anirudh still looked uneasy. "We need to be careful. Siddharth won’t go down without a fight."

Vikram shrugged. "That’s the fun part, isn’t it?"

The First Strike

By midnight, everything was in place.

A news article appeared online, exposing Siddharth’s secret meetings with criminals.

An anonymous source provided documents linking him to illegal activities.

And just like that—chaos erupted.

The media went wild.

Politicians distanced themselves.

Siddharth Malhotra’s empire began to crack.

At the Oberoi mansion, Aryan fist-bumped Ayush. "Damn, that was fast."

Avni smirked. "This is just the beginning."

But Arnav was still watching. Waiting.

Because he knew—Siddharth Malhotra wouldn’t go down this easily.

And when he struck back… it would be deadly.
