The city of Vasgarh was a battlefield in its own right—one where power dictated survival. Towering skyscrapers loomed over ancient streets, wealth clashed with crime, and secrets lurked behind polished façades. It was a city where only the strong thrived.
And tonight, two forces—equally dominant, equally untouchable—were about to collide.
At the Vasgarh Military Base, where discipline reigned supreme, a lone figure stood in the shadows. Clad in a black combat uniform, General Aira Mehra was the embodiment of precision and power. Ruthless on the battlefield, untouchable in strategy, and terrifyingly brilliant, she had earned the title "The Ghost General."
Her presence alone sent enemies fleeing. Her soldiers swore by her leadership. But behind the legend, Aira had only one weakness—one she never allowed anyone to see.
She removed her gloves, her fingers brushing against a photograph on her desk. A picture of the four people who mattered more than her own life.
Vikram Rathore, the eldest, a renowned military strategist. The man who had pulled her from the depths of despair and taught her how to fight—not just in war, but in life.Kabir Sehgal, a brilliant neurosurgeon, whose hands had once wielded weapons but now saved lives. The quiet protector.Reyan Malhotra, a tech mogul, who built an empire in cybersecurity, ensuring Aira's enemies never knew where to strike.And finally, Aryan Shekhawat, the youngest, her shadow, her crime partner, the master strategist who played in the world's grey zones. He was the knife in the dark, the whisper before a storm, ensuring threats were eliminated before they even surfaced.
They weren't connected by blood, but by something far stronger—pain, survival, and unshakable loyalty.
Aira sighed, setting the photo down. She had no time for emotions. She had been ordered to attend a high-profile business gala in Vasgarh, a diplomatic attempt to build ties between the military and the city's most influential figures.
She hated these events.
And yet, she had no idea that this night would change everything.
