Prologue

Majestic Aegis Defense company

A car rolled to a stop at the back exit of the company. Gracefully, a woman, shrouded in a mask, emerged from the vehicle and strode purposefully toward the conference room. With an air of authority, she took her place at the head of the table, crossing her legs with an elegant flourish. "Bring him here," she commanded her PA in a chillingly dark voice that sent shivers down everyone's spine in the room. The PA nodded obediently and swiftly departed to carry out her orders.

"Ma'am, may I enter?" the PA cautiously inquired. "Hmm," the woman murmured in response. Suddenly, a figure lurched forward, collapsing at the woman's feet. "Mr. Shukla, isn't it?" she queried, her voice icy and menacing. "I've been informed you've betrayed me by leaking information about my new project."

"No, ma'am, it was a misunderstanding. I didn't do anything," Mr. Shukla protested, but his words fell on deaf ears. "Silence, Mr. Shukla," the woman interrupted sharply, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Lying to me is the gravest mistake you could make after years of working for me."

Mr. Shukla's resolve crumbled under the woman's intense scrutiny. "It was me, ma'am. I leaked the news of the project. Please spare me," he pleaded, his voice trembling with fear. But the woman's expression remained cold and unforgiving.

"Do you think I'll simply let you off the hook?" she retorted, her tone dripping with disdain. "You're gravely mistaken if you believe I'll overlook your betrayal."

As Mr. Shukla begged for mercy, he added a desperate plea, "Ma'am, please spare me. I have a wife and a son to look after. They depend on me."

The woman's gaze hardened, her lips curling into a cruel smile. "The son whom you abuse every day or the wife whom you cheat on every day?" she countered, her words laced with disdain. "Your family won't shield you from the consequences of your actions."

With a decisive nod to her PA, she ordered, "Blacklist him." The PA wasted no time in carrying out the punishment, leaving Mr. Shukla's fate sealed by his own betrayal.

As Mr. Shukla lay crumpled on the floor, the woman leaned down, her voice dripping with venom. "From now on, you'll think twice before betraying anyone," she whispered ominously.

The scene ended with the guard escorting Mr. Shukla out of the cabin, his fate sealed by his own deceit.

But before leaving, she turned to her PA, her expression softened momentarily. "Mr. Chauhan, make sure that his wife and son don't face any problems from now on," she instructed with a hint of empathy. With that final command, she departed, leaving behind a scene of shattered loyalty and ruthless consequences.

At somewhere in city

The girl sped through the streets on her bike, effortlessly weaving through traffic as she approached the cozy house. Dismounting with ease, she crept towards the entrance, a sense of urgency driving her movements. Opening the door silently, she cautiously stepped inside, hoping to remain undetected. Her relief was palpable as she scanned the empty hallway, but her moment of solace was short-lived as she encountered a man standing on the stairs  his presence imposing and enigmatic.

Well, well, well, Ms. Aisha Sharma," the man taunted, a snake-like smirk playing across his lips. "What do you think you're doing at this hour?”

Aisha attempted to downplay the situation with a nervous laugh. "Ouch! Using my full name now? Just needed some fresh air, big bro.”

The man's eyebrow arched in skepticism. "Fresh air at this time? What kind of fresh air are you seeking, Aisha?"

Aisha nerves flared as she struggled for a response. "Take a chill, bhai. I was fine. It's not like I'm…dead," she faltered, her words trailing off abruptly as a cold voice interrupted her.

"Ms. Aisha Sharma," the man interjected, his tone chillingly indifferent.

"Yes, Mr. Aditya rajvansh," Aisha  replied, her tone matching his icy demeanor, eliciting a sharp stare from Aditya.Confused by the sudden tension, Aisha shrugged and made her way to the kitchen, Aditya trailing behind her in silence. As she rummaged through the cabinets, Aditya's voice softened as he asked, "What are you doing, bachcha?”

Finding something to eat, bhai," Aisha responded in softly "Seat there, I will make something to eat," prompting Aditya to roll up his sleeves and join her in the kitchen

."I found someone who can give us information," Aisha divulged, catching Aditya off guard."Who?" he pressed, his curiosity piqued."He worked for them," Aisha explained cryptically

."How can you be sure?" Aditya questioned, his skepticism evident."He said," Aisha replied simply, her resolve unwavering.As Aditya served the food, Aisha revealed their next move. "The Phoenix Arizona University," she declared confidently.

Aditya's demeanor shifted, his expression becoming serious. The haven of elites? What mysteries lie within its hallowed halls?”

Aisha confusion was palpable. "And what role do you play in this?"Aditya's sigh was like a whisper in the night. "Stay informed, kiddo," he advised, his words a beacon of wisdom in the darkness.

The Phoenix Arizona University, also known as T.A.U, is shrouded in mystery and intrigue," Aditya explained to Aisha. "It's a haven for the elite, a fortress of secrets guarded by the old guard. But be careful, my innocent kid, for danger lurks in the shadows.”

Aisha’s determination remained unyielding. "Looks like my upcoming days are going to be eventful. T.A.U , be ready. I'm coming. It will be so much fun to mess with them," she declared with a smirk, her excitement palpable as she prepared to embark on their mysterious and thrilling journey.

"Let the shadows tremble," Aisha murmured, a cold edge creeping into her tone, as she and Aditya embarked on their mission, unfazed by the darkness that awaited, for in her heartless pursuit of truth, no secret would remain hidden.
