Veer, Rudra, Karan, and Zayan—four men feared by the world, unshaken by death, and bound by an unbreakable brotherhood. They lived in darkness, playing a deadly game where emotions had no place. But in their past, there was one exception—Avni. She was their light, their anchor, the only warmth in their cold world.

Fate, however, was merciless. They lost her.

Years later, on a mission, a cryptic message from a homeless man haunts them: "One day, you will find what you lost." Then, as if destiny had unraveled a cruel trick, they see her—Avni’s face on a woman they don’t know.

Is she truly the girl they swore to protect, or just a painful illusion of what they once had? As danger closes in and the past resurfaces, they must uncover the truth. But some truths are meant to stay buried…

Will love and destiny bring them together again, or will this second chance lead to even greater heartbreak?

Entangled Bound by destiny Lost in Time

The abandoned docks were quiet. Too quiet.

A single warehouse stood at the edge of the water, rusted steel doors creaking under the wind. Inside, crates stacked high created a maze of shadows. A perfect place for an ambush.

Veer stood in the center of it all, arms crossed, watching the entrance. His team was positioned strategically—Zayan at the north exit, Rudra near the catwalk above, Karan hidden behind a container, ready to strike.

The Phantom would come for the stolen tech—except, there was no stolen tech.

There was only the Vipers waiting in the dark.

At exactly 11:55 PM, the sound of an approaching vehicle echoed outside.

Through a crack in the warehouse door, Veer spotted a convoy of black SUVs rolling to a stop. The headlights cut off, and six armed men stepped out first.

Same red dress. Same eerie confidence.

Even though she was walking straight into a trap, she didn't look afraid.

And that? That was the first warning sign.

She took a few steps forward, heels clicking against the concrete, her men flanking her.

And that's when everything went to hell.

A shockwave ripped through the warehouse as the floor beneath Veer shook violently. The walls groaned, and somewhere in the distance, an explosion lit up the night.

Zayan cursed through the earpiece. "What the hell just happened?"

Karan muttered, "Wasn't this our trap?"

Veer's eyes snapped back to her. The Phantom was still smiling.

"Did you really think you were the only ones setting a trap tonight?"

And then—all the warehouse doors burst open at once.

Armed men flooded in from every side.

Gunfire erupted as chaos exploded across the warehouse. The Vipers were under attack—by a force they didn't see coming.

Veer ducked as bullets rained down from the catwalks. He spotted Rudra taking cover behind a crate, picking off enemies with ruthless precision. Karan was already in motion, weaving through the shadows, knife flashing as he took a man down.

But the Phantom? She wasn't running.

She turned, firing back at the newcomers.

That's when it hit Veer—she wasn't behind this.

She had been played. Just like them.
