Chapter 62 – Vikram's Mind Game
Vikram sat motionless in the rolling chair, the glow of the monitors behind him painting faint blue lines across his face.
Bharath sat opposite, tense, eyes locked on him, waiting for an answer.
Vikram didn't speak.
He didn't need to.
Inside his head, the entire game had already played out — every move,
every countermove,
every probability mapped and weighed.
This wasn't a conversation.
It was chess, and Vikram had been playing it alone for days.
He orchestrated this.
He predicted every single thing.
The moment he realized Bharath had been spying — the tailing through Rishi, the careful questions, the way Bharath’s gaze always drifted to Mirnaa without ever saying her name — Vikram had known this moment would come.
And he had already decided exactly how to turn it.
Right now his brain is conducting a question and answer session to cross check if all falls in places correctly!
Q: What does Bharath really want?
A: Mirnaa.
He’s obsessed. The hospital fall. The innocence. The naivety. He wants her slowly, willingly, no force. He thinks if I give him space — dates, moments, proximity — he can seduce her. He believes she’ll choose him.
Q: What happens if I say yes right now — hand her over?
A: He takes her.
Affair. Attention. Charm. Sex. Pleasure. He enjoys her. But then? One consignment slips. Aadharsh smells Bharath is working with Krish. He blocks him. Suspends him again. Cuts his links. Just like he did before. Bharath loses everything — access, power, Mirnaa. Empire crumbles. We lose.
Q: What happens if I say no — block him completely?
A: He has the pen drive.
Malavika clips. Warehouse beatings. Blood on my hands. He leaks it. Mirnaa finds out. Trust shatters. She leaves. Or stays broken. Bharath still loses — no network, no protection. Aadharsh wins anyway.
Q: In both cases, what’s the outcome?
A: Mirnaa gets used — literally or emotionally — and the empire falls.
Links go dead. Consignments stop. Team demoralizes. Aadharsh bypasses us. We’re finished.
Q: So what’s the only path that works?
A: Bharath in the shadows — like me.
Double agent. Inside Aadharsh’s radar. Trusted. Untouchable. Feeding me intel. Breaking him brick by brick from within. That’s the only way we survive — and win.
Q: But Bharath has no intent to do it for free or ideology.
A: Correct.
He won’t risk his neck for 20%, for “right thing,” for anything less than what he truly wants. His price is Mirnaa.
Q: How do I give him Mirnaa into an affair
A: I don’t give her. I let him try — slowly.
I create opportunities. Dates. Moments. Proximity. But I control the pace. I slow the seduction. I record everything — every meeting, every word, every step. I make him believe im orchestrating a seduction and he is closing gape between them and it looks real but in reality, before he proceed he will be removed by me by expose him to Aadharsh. He destroys him. I stay clean.
Q: And before that what he will do in Aadharsh fort??
A: He breaks Aadharsh from inside.
Consignments flow. Clients return. Volume builds. I will make him get trusted. When aadharsh goes relaxed with him, i will make aadahrsh do silly mistakes that costs. When Aadharsh is weak, when his empire is cracking, I cut the thread. Bharath is gone. Mirnaa is safe. Empire is saved. Aadharsh is punished. Bharath is punished.
Q: But is that not risky and tricky ?
A: Keeping control.
Yes its risky, I can’t let him rush. I can’t let him dictate. He thinks he’s seducing her. I make sure he never fully chooses — until I decide the game is over.
Vikram raised his head.
Bharath was staring at him, eyes wide, paranoid.
“Double agent?” Bharath asked again, voice almost breaking. “You’re serious.”
Vikram’s face stayed calm — unreadable.
“I’m listening,” he said simply.
“You said you want Mirnaa. I’m asking what you’re willing to do for her.”
Bharath exhaled sharply through his nose. A dark, bitter laugh escaped him.
“You’re insane.”
Vikram didn’t smile.
