2. Let The Game Begin

"She sought peace; he brought the storm."

The night was steeped in a biting chill as a sleek black car glided to a halt in front of an exclusive club, where several guards stood at attention, clad in dark attire.

As the car door swung open, Yuvraj emerged. He wore a crisp white t-shirt, black jeans, and a light brown jacket, complemented by a pair of dark sunglasses. His presence exuded an icy aura, reminiscent of the winter wind. Behind him followed Vedant, Ziven, Max, and Kabir, each radiating an air of quiet confidence, ready to make their entrance into the night.

YUVRAJ'S LOOK

Yuvraj leaned against the sleek car, his brown eyes glinting with a fierce desire for revenge. A devilish smirk curled his lips as he spoke in an authoritative tone, "How will you bear such a monumental loss, Davian?"

Davian, Yuvraj's rival, had made the grave mistake of killing some of Yuvraj's men, a decision that would soon haunt him.

After a moment of charged silence, they entered the club. The atmosphere was thick with energy; bodies swayed to the music, laughter and chatter filled the air, and the clinking of glasses punctuated the revelry. But Yuvraj and his companions ignored the distractions, their minds focused on the mission at hand.

As they scanned the crowded venue for a specific painting, Max spotted it almost immediately. But unbeknownst to them, a lurking danger awaited.

They ascended the stairs, only to be met by Davian's men. In the center of the room sat Davian, casually reclined on a wooden chair, his legs crossed in a posture of nonchalance. A sinister smirk played on his lips, as if he had just discovered a favorite toy.

"Davno ne videlis'," he said in Russian, his tone dripping with mockery. Long time no see.

Yuvraj let out a sarcastic laugh, his demeanor shifting. "Oh, Davian, how I long to torture you so brutally that every inch of your soul begs for mercy," he declared, his expression darkening. "And you know I am capable of doing this."

A cunning smile spread across Davian's face. "Vy deystvitel'no dumayete, chto tak legko poluchite eti brillianty?" he retorted. "And by the way, have you forgotten what I did to your men? You are trapped in your own cage, Yuvraj."

Yuvraj met his gaze with unwavering confidence. "Davian, you really think you've ensnared me? If you believe that, you are sorely mistaken, because the one who is truly trapped here is you. And those diamonds? They have belonged to me from the very start."

A devilish smirk reappeared on Yuvraj's face. "Look around you," he commanded.

Davian's expression shifted as he glanced around the room, realizing he was surrounded by Yuvraj's men, effectively cut off from escape.

Yuvraj's voice grew cold, a glint of menace in his eyes. "You really think I will let you go after what you did to my men?"

The tension in the room thickened, the air heavy with impending conflict as both men understood that their fates were now intertwined in a deadly game of power and retribution.

.............

A small, fragile figure crumbled to the floor, er body wracked with sobs. She gasped for breath, struggling to regain control as the tears streamed down her cheeks.

"W...why? Why do they treat me like this?" she stammered between cries. "Am I not worth loving? Why do they make me feel like I'm nothing but a burden?"

"Mom, why did you leave me?" she pleaded, her voice trembling with anguish. "Why did you abandon me with these people? They hate me. They will never accept me as their daughter. Their words cut deep."

As she spoke, the venom in their voices echoed in her mind, amplifying her despair. "She's not like you, Mom," she whispered, her heart heavy. "I want to hug you. I want to curl up in your lap. I need you, Mom!"

"Why, Mom? Why did you leave me with these people?" Each question fell from her lips like a dagger, punctuated by her uneven breaths. Panic overwhelmed her, and as the suffocating weight of loneliness closed in, she realized there was no one to console her, no one to hold her in a tight embrace. She faced this torment alone.

Her cries turned into muffled sobs, each breath a struggle as she descended deeper into despair. At last, exhaustion took over, and she drifted into a fitful sleep, her fragile body still trembling from the emotional storm she had endured.

Davian's complexion had drained of color, a stark pallor reflecting the rising tide of fear within him-the fear of being trapped. At that moment, his body felt numb, overwhelmed by the shock of the situation. He hadn't anticipated this turn of events, and the realization sent a shiver down his spine.

Davian don't worry I won't kill you right now.

Your death will not be this easy. My expression changed, I gritted my teeth and continued, I'll make sure you suffer, beg for death, but you will not get one. I'll make sure you suffer every second, scream in pain, and plead for mercy. You fear every second, the fear of Yuvraj Singh Yadhuvanshi.

I envisioned you trapped in my basement, bound in chains, your desperate pleas echoing off the walls. I craved the sound of your screams, the moment when your soul yearned to escape your body but found it couldn't. I longed to witness your spirit crying out for death, to see the regret etched on your face-the regret of betraying me, of obstructing my path. Each moment you dared to cross me would weigh heavily on your conscience, a haunting reminder of your folly, Davian. You would come to regret every second spent in my way.

A sinister smirk crept across my face as I reveled in the moment. "Wrong move, Davian," I thought. "You should never have come to India. You've dug your own grave with your own hands." The thrill of the situation coursed through me, and I savored the impending consequences. "Now you'll have to face what you've unleashed."

I shoot on Davian's right leg and he started screaming in pain, I signalled Vedant and Ziven they took Davian where he was supposed to be and about the Davian's men, my men take are of them, they knew what to do now.

I took the diamonds and stepped out of the club, a victorious smirk tugging at the corners of my lips as I made my way to the car. Sliding into the driver's seat, I couldn't help but feel a rush of exhilaration as I turned the key in the ignition and headed home.

As the sun rose, the gentle chirping of birds filled the air, acting as my alarm today. Despite not being in a good mood, I had no choice but to get used to it-this was my life now. I sat up in bed, and the memory of yesterday's incident flashed vividly before my eyes. Tears started rolling down my cheeks, and I clutched the bedsheets, struggling to hold myself together. After a few minutes of quiet crying, I felt a little lighter. I stood up, wiped away the last of my tears, and headed tothe bathroom.

A quick, cold shower helped to clear my mind, washing away the heaviness clinging to me. I changed into fresh clothes and went downstairs. The house felt unusually empty, so I asked one of the servants, who informed me that the family had left for a business trip. A faint smile broke through my gloom; at least for a few days, I could experience a bit of peaceful.

Skipping breakfast since I didn't feel hungry, I gathered my things and left for college, hoping the day might bring a change, however small.

I woke up early, not to the sound of my alarm, but to the persistent chirping of birds outside. Frustrated, I stepped out onto my balcony, hoping for a moment of quiet. Just then, my phone buzzed, displaying Vedant's caler ID. I answered, and he quickly launched into the day's schedule.

Vedant: "Sir, you have a meeting with the Bhatts at the Royal Blue Restaurant, followed by a second meeting with the Malhotras, and later, an online call with our foreign investors."

I acknowledged with a brief hmm, then headed to the bathroom. After a refreshing shower, I returned to my room and chose a classic black tuxedo from my closet. I completed the look with a wristwatch and a pair of black sades.

As I went downstairs, I noticed my mom absorbed in some household chores, and a smile crossed my face. Quietly, I approached and hugged her from behind. "How many times have I told you not to do these tasks? We have so many servants who can handle them."

She just smiled gently and replied, "I like doing these little things around the house, Yuvraj."

I sighed, appreciating her simplicity, then made my way out of the house. Settling into the car, I instructed my driver to take me to the Royal Blue Restaurant for the first meeting of the day.
