Chapter 105 - The morning at the office changed Suresh and Gowtham Dynamics
Gowtham knocked on the door the moment he heard his boss’s frustrated voice from inside.
“Come in,” Mr. Prakash called.
Gowtham stepped inside, with the new assessment report in his hand.
Before he could say anything, his boss looked up with tired, angry eyes.
“The same competitor of ours snatched the tender for the second time in a row,” Mr. Prakash said, slamming a file on the table.
He looked at Gowtham and said...
“I was planning to make you lead the new startup firm along with the selected trainees.
Now it all seems to be going in vain.”
Gowtham stood silently, absorbing the blow.
Mr. Prakash continued, “Next week we have another critical tender.
I want you to prepare a full analysis and send it to Rahul.
Don’t treat Rahul like just an HR in this matter — treat him like a friend. And Rahul,”
he looked at the HR head sitting across, “you do the same. Work together on this.”
Both nodded.
Gowtham finally spoke, voice steady but concerned. “Sir, may I know how they won the bid? i mean the margin...”
Mr. Prakash leaned back, rubbing his temples. “They quoted just 2 lakhs below our project cost. And the same difference was there in previous bidding as well.. It’s impossible… unless someone from inside is feeding them information.”
Gowtham’s mind immediately went to Varsha.
She has all the qualities to do something like this, he thought. Stealing company secrets and selling them for money. She’s stubborn, cunning, and desperate. The image of her unbuttoning her shirt in his cabin flashed in his mind.
But instead of voicing his suspicion, something strange happened inside him. He no longer wanted to destroy her. He wanted to stop her from doing wrong… to guide her… to fix her.
Shit… are you lusting after her or actually starting to care?
Gowtham faced his first real confusion in a long time.
Mr. Prakash continued, “Our company doesn’t have traitors who would do something like this for money.
I’m sure about it.” He sighed.
“But we can’t take chances. Gowtham, I need your best on this.”
I have decided to make young brains work on this instead myself...
Gowtham nodded slowly. “I’ll handle it, Sir.”
He left the cabin with a storm raging in his head.
The same girl he had been trying to crush just days ago was now occupying a completely different space in his mind.
Now with the care?
At the same time at Suresh Office underground parking
Suresh was stunned by the scene before him.
The restricted underground parking, had transformed into something nightmarish. In a blind spot near the far wall, partially hidden behind a concrete pillar, a man lay sprawled on the concrete floor, badly beaten — face swollen, blood pooling around his head and staining his torn shirt. Three well-dressed men stood over him like executioners, wooden rods and knives glinting under the flickering fluorescent lights.
And at the center of it all, issuing commands with ice-cold authority, was Vinodhini Rakesh.
This was not the elegant, professional woman Suresh had met during his onboarding.
This Vinodhini looked terrifying - sharp, dangerous, and utterly in control.
Her eyes held no warmth, only calculated ruthlessness.
The beaten man groaned weakly, spitting blood as he rasped, “You bastards… leave me alone… Aditya, you took everything from me — my earnings, my cars, every single penny… You kept my wife as your mistress all these days… Why are you pushing me to this?”
Suresh’s blood ran cold. He heard every single word.
The man weakly raised his hand toward the right. Suresh followed the gesture and saw it — a sleek, imported MUV parked in the shadows. Through the tinted windows, he could make out two figures inside, skin exposed, bodies close together. He assumed they were naked.
Realizing the scene, Suresh decide to take his car and go back to ground floor.
As he stepped back ..
Vinodhini’s sharp voice cut through the tension.
Stop Suresh Where are you going..
Suresh: Im Sorry i will go back to ground floor.. I pretend i didn't see anything.
Vinodhini: Stop there Suresh.
Come here. Now, or these gentleman's will receive you
The three men turned toward him, their postures shifting threateningly.
The air grew thick with danger.
Rainwater dripped from the ceiling somewhere in the distance, the only sound breaking the heavy silence.
Suresh stood frozen for a second, heart pounding. The blood on the floor, the weapons, Vinodhini’s commanding presence — everything screamed that he had just walked into something he was never meant to see.
He walked slowly towards her.. figuring out what to respond..
Before he could respond, the MUV door opened.
A woman stepped out first. She was hurriedly wrapping a thin shawl around her body, covering herself. Her hair was messy, cheeks flushed, and she avoided everyone’s eyes. Behind her, Aditya emerged, casually pulling on a shirt over his muscular torso, still wiping sweat from his neck with a towel.
Aditya looked every bit the villain — tall, powerfully built, with a magnetic, commanding presence that made the air feel heavier.
Aditya smirked when he saw Suresh.
“Oh, Suresh… you’re here,” he said, voice smooth and dangerous. “You know what happens when someone doesn’t obey my rules? I punish them.”
He turned to the beaten man on the floor. “Mr. Ayush… you should not have crossed my line. You should not have cheated me, my money, and done things behind my back. You know why she is quiet right now?” He slapped the naked woman’s ass possessively. “Because if she reacts, you will have to endure even more pain.”
Let me tell you a bonus point... She is not loyal like you think.. i easily seduced her a long back.. at our company gathering.. She just cheated on you.. I was just planning to punish you and she made it easy..
Aditya laughed — a low, chilling sound that echoed in the underground space like a real villain’s.
He looked back at Suresh. “You shouldn’t have come down here. Underground parking is restricted for a reason.” His eyes bored into Suresh. “Now you have only two ways forward. Stay loyal to me… and you will grow with me. Choose the other path… and what you’ve witnessed here will look merciful compared to what will happen to you.”
Aditya slapped the woman’s ass again. “Wait for me at my home.” He ordered one of his subordinates, “Take her.”
He just left the place like a King...
Vinodhini stepped forward gracefully.
She glanced at the woman from the MUV, then at Suresh.
“Come with me,” she said firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Gowtham knocked on the door the moment he heard his boss’s frustrated voice from inside.
“Come in,” Mr. Prakash called.
