Veer left the house, his mind made up. He was no longer just the concerned friend or the undercover investigator. He was Vishwanath Rai Singhania, and he was going to make Ravi pay for what he had done.

He made a few phone calls, summoning his most trusted men. They met him at a discreet location, away from prying eyes.

In a dimly lit room Vishwanath's voice rang ,his voice cold and deadly making his men flinch "Ravi ne sirf Kashi ko chot nahi pahunchayi, usne mere dil ko chot pahunchayi hai." Ab usse iska hisaab dena hoga,("Ravi hasn't just hurt Kashi; he has hurt my heart too. He'll be accounted for, to answer this.") he said, his eyes burning with fury and pain.

Vishwanath's men, hardened and loyal, had never seen their boss show much emotion. They stood in a tight circle around him in the dimly lit warehouse, their faces stern and focused. But as Vishwanath spoke, they couldn't help but exchange glances, surprise flickering in their eyes.

They had seen Vishwanath Rai Singhania, the King of Bundelkhand, as a ruthless leader, a man who rarely showed vulnerability. But in this moment, they saw a man deeply hurt, driven not just by duty but by genuine care for a girl.

Vishwanath ordered his men to bring Ravi to the warehouse.

One of the head men, Vipul, stepped forward. "Sir don't worry, we will bring that bastard and make sure he pays for his crimes".

Vishwanath nodded, his expression hardening once more.

The men, now more resolute than ever, prepared to carry out their orders. They understood that this mission was not just another task but a personal vendetta for their leader. And they would see it through, no matter the cost.

That evening, Ravi stumbled out of another bar, reeking of alcohol and his own misplaced bravado. The night was dark, and the streets were almost empty, but he didn't notice the shadows moving with purpose around him.He barely registered the footsteps closing in on him.

Suddenly, strong hands grabbed him from all sides. He struggled, but it was futile, Vishwanath's men had a firm grip. "What the hell?" Ravi slurred, his words barely coherent.

Without a word, they dragged him into a nearby alley, where a black SUV waited. Ravi's attempts to resist were met with swift, brutal force. His shouts for help were muffled by a rough hand over his mouth, and within moments, he was shoved into the vehicle. The doors slammed shut, and the car sped off into the night.

The ride was silent and tense. Ravi's mind raced, fear slowly creeping in as he realized he was completely at their mercy. After what felt like an eternity, the SUV came to a halt in front of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. The men hauled Ravi out of the car and led him inside.

The warehouse was dimly lit, the air thick with dust and the scent of decay. Metal clanged and echoed as they walked, heightening the sense of dread. They pushed Ravi into the center of the space, where a single overhead light flickered, casting eerie shadows.

As his eyes adjusted to the gloom, Ravi saw a figure step forward from the darkness. It was Veer-or rather, the man he had known as Veer. But the aura of the person standing before him was entirely different, far more imposing and authoritative. This was Vishwanath Rai Singhania, the King of Bundelkhand, and there was no trace of the mild-mannered Veer.

Vishwanath's eyes burned with a cold, controlled fury. He approached Ravi slowly, every step deliberate. "Tu? Yeh sab kya hai? (You? What is all this?)" Ravi stammered, his bravado completely evaporated in the face of the silent, looming menace.

Vishwanath's lips curled into a grim smile. "Maine tumhe pehle hi kaha tha, Ravi. Tumhe apni goonaho ka hisaab dena hoga." ( I told you before only Ravi, that you would have to pay price of your

crimes).

As Ravi stood trembling before Vishwanath, the question burned in his mind like a fire. He could sense the power emanating from this man,but he couldn't name it. Fear and confusion mingled in his eyes as he finally found the courage to ask, "Tum kaun ho?"

(Who are you?)

Vishwanath's expression remained inscrutable, his eyes narrowing slightly at Ravi's question. He took a step closer, his presence dominating the space between them. "Mein kaun hu yeh jaanne ki tumhe zaroorat nahi hai ("You don't need to know who I am.")," he replied, his voice low and commanding.

Ravi's heart pounded in his chest. "Please, mujhe chhod do. Main phir se Aisa kabhi nahi karunga,("Please, let me go. I will never do this again.") he begged, his voice trembling.

Vishwanath's laugh was devoid of humor. "Ab maafi mangne ka koi fayda nahi. Shayad documents churane aur company ke saath fraud karna ke liye mein tumhe phir maaf kar deta par tumne Kashi aur uski maa par jo zulm kiye hai, uska badla toh mein le kar rahunga."

("Apologizing now won't help. Maybe I would have forgiven you for stealing documents and committing fraud against the company, but I will seek revenge for the atrocities you've committed against Kashi and her mother.")

Ravi's eyes widened with realisation and his bravado faltered in the face of Vishwanath's unwavering gaze. "Main... maine kuch nahi kiya ( i....i haven't done anything) " he stammered, his voice trembling with fear.

Vishwanath's expression darkened. "Jhoot mat bolo, Ravi. Tumhari har ek harkat ka mujhe pata hai.("Don't lie, Ravi. I know everything, about every move you've made.")

The men surrounding them stood like silent sentinels, their loyalty to Vishwanath unwavering. They watched as their boss took a step closer to Ravi, his presence overwhelming in the confined space.

"Ab tumhe apne kiye ki saza milegi,"

(Now you will pay the price of your every wrong doing) Vishwanath declared, his tone final and unforgiving.

Ravi's eyes darted around the warehouse, seeking a way out, but he found none. The walls seemed to close in around him, suffocating him with the weight of his own actions. He knew there was no escape from the consequences of his cruelty.

Vishwanath turned to his men and signalled his men with his eyes who were watching silently and already waiting for his orders.

The men nodded and stepped forward.The men moved in, grabbing Ravi and forcing him to his knees.

They surrounded Ravi, who tried to back away but found himself trapped. One of them landed a punch to his gut, making him double over in pain. Another followed with a blow to his face, sending him sprawling to the ground. They beat him mercilessly, their fists and boots landing with sickening thuds. Ravi cried out in pain, but there was no mercy in the eyes of Vishwanath's men.

Vishwanath watched, his face a mask of cold determination. Each blow that landed on Ravi was a small measure of justice for what Kashi had endured. But Vishwanath knew that physical pain alone wasn't enough to atone for Ravi's sins. He had given Ravi a chance to make things right, but the man had chosen the path of violence and cruelty. Now, he was paying the price.But Vishwanath's vengeance didn't end there.

After what felt like an eternity, Vishwanath signaled for his men to stop. Ravi lay on the floor, beaten and broken, barely conscious.

Vishwanath stepped forward, his eyes burning with fury. Vishwanath knelt beside Ravi, who was gasping for breath on the cold concrete floor.

"You think you can hurt Kashi and her mother and walk away?" Vishwanath snarled, grabbing Ravi by the collar and pulling him up.

Ravi could barely breathe, let alone respond. The next moment, Vishwanath's fist collided with his face, sending him crashing to the ground again. Vishwanath didn't stop. He pounded Ravi relentlessly, each blow a testament to his rage and sense of justice. Finally, Vishwanath stopped, breathing heavily, looking down at the broken man before him.

"Agar tum Kashi ke pita nahi hote, toh aaj tumhe mein zinda nahi chodta ("If you weren't Kashi's father, I wouldn't have spared you alive today)," he said, his voice cold and deadly.

The sound of police sirens echoed in the distance. Moments later, a convoy of police vehicles pulled up outside. The doors swung open, and several officers stepped out, their demeanor serious and professional.

Leading them was Inspector Rituraj Solanki, a high-ranking officer with a reputation for being both tough and incorruptible. He had a long-standing alliance with Vishwanath Rai Singhania, respecting the king's influence and commitment to justice. As he approached, his eyes met Vishwanath's, a silent understanding passing between them.

Ravi, seeing the police though barely conscious, began to plead in tired voice "Please, mujhe Jane do! Main kabhi esa kuch nahi karunga! Main sudhar jaunga!" ("Please, let me go! I will never do something like this again! I will change myself !")

Inspector Rituraj ignored Ravi's pleas and nodded to Vishwanath. "Mr. Singhania, we've got this under control. Ravi will face the full extent of the law."

Vishwanath's face remained stern as he looked down at Ravi. "Inspector, make sure he pays for every crime he has committed, especially against Kashi and her mother."

The inspector saluted. "You have my word. He won't escape justice."

Before Ravi was taken away, Vishwanath leaned in close, his voice a low growl, "Tumhe jo saza milegi, wo tumhare Kashi ko diye hue har ek zulm ka hisaab hogi."

("The punishment you receive will be the reckoning for every injustice you've inflicted upon Kashi.")

A constable handcuffed Ravi and led him to one of the police vehicles, shoving him inside. Inspector Rituraj turned to Vishwanath one last time. "We'll keep you updated on the proceedings."

Vishwanath nodded, his aura still commanding.

As the police convoy departed, Vishwanath remained standing in the dim light of the warehouse, a silent guardian ensuring that justice was served. The roar of the engines faded into the night, leaving behind an air of resolution. Ravi's reign of terror was over, and Vishwanath knew that Kashi and her mother would finally find some peace.

Also now that Ravi was finally arrested, the time had come for another difficult step. He needed to tell Kashi about her father's fraudulent activities. The truth would hurt her, but she deserved to know the extent of Ravi's betrayal. Vishwanath knew that revealing this to Kashi would be painful, but it was a necessary step towards her healing and justice.

Hyy guys,

"Finally, Ravi paid for his crimes. The King's vengeance ensured justice for Kashi and her mother."
