Chapter 65 – Bharath Arrives to Stay at Mirna & Vikram’s House'


The morning arrived softer than Vikram expected.

He had slept longer than usual — deep, dreamless sleep, the kind that comes after exhaustion finally wins. No nightmares of fire or Sekaran’s last shove. Just darkness. When he woke, the bed was empty beside him. The sound of water running came from the attached bathroom — Mirnaa already bathing.

Vikram sat up slowly. His ribs protested, but the ache was duller now. He looked around the room — the nighty she had worn last night still lay folded on the chair, the sheets tangled from their lovemaking. The memory of her body under his, the quiet way she came, lingered like a ghost. Warm. Real. His.

But today was different.
Bharath was coming.

Vikram stood, walked to the balcony. The sea air hit him — fresh, salty, indifferent. He breathed it in deeply, trying to steady the tremor in his chest.


He wasn’t panicked. Not exactly.
He was shaking — a low, internal vibration. Not fear. Calculation. The tightrope had begun, and every step forward carried weight.
He pulled out his phone.
Prem had texted overnight.

Consignment cleared. Smooth. Bharath moved fast.
Vikram stared at the message.
So fast.

Pride flickered — then unease. Bharath was efficient. Too efficient. At this rate, two issues loomed:
One: He would fuck Mirnaa before Vikram could pull him back.
Two: Aadharsh would smell something soon — too many wins, too quick.

He immediately texted Bharath.
Call.
The phone rang in under a minute.
Bharath’s voice came through — calm, almost amused.
“Hope you got the message. Happy?”


Vikram kept his tone even. “You’re too fast. They’ll be watching you. Be careful. Next plan — take it slow for Krish and my group. Fasten your grip at Aadharsh’s place, but don’t make it obvious.”
Bharath chuckled low. “Sure.”

Vikram continued. “Come at 10 a.m. I’ll drop Mirnaa at the hospital and come back. We need to plan things before she returns.”
Bharath agreed without hesitation. “See you then.”
Vikram ended the call.

He turned.

Mirnaa stepped out of the bathroom — fresh, glowing, wrapped in a towel. She wore a gorgeous saree — deep maroon silk, gold border, the kind she saved for special days. It hugged her curves perfectly, the pallu dbangd over one shoulder, blouse low enough to show the gentle swell of her breasts.

Continuation:

Vikram raised an eyebrow. “Why this saree like you are going for a function? You look gorgeous.”

Mirnaa twirled once, smiling shyly. “Guest arriving. Right shouldn't I not look good?”

Vikram stepped closer, touched the edge of the pallu. “Madam, You have to go to the hospital. Wear it in the evening.”
Mirnaa froze — then facepalmed with a giggle. “Oh god, yes. I forgot.”
She laughed at herself, the sound light and unguarded.
Vikram watched her, chest tightening.
She’s excited.

Her excitement made him uncomfortable — but he trusted his process.
He said, “See, he’s our friend. He’s going to stay with us for months — maybe even a year, depending on his mood. Will you wear gorgeous stuff regularly?”
Mirnaa giggled again, cheeks pink. “Maybe.”
She went back inside to change.
Vikram exhaled slowly.


The Thar arrived at exactly 10 a.m.
Vikram had just returned from dropping Mirnaa at the hospital. He watched from the balcony as Bharath stepped out — black shirt, dark jeans, sunglasses, moving with that quiet predator grace.

Bharath looked up, saw Vikram, gave a small nod.
Vikram came downstairs.

He allocated the first bedroom on the ground floor to Bharath — near the kitchen and hallway, exactly opposite the indoor pool. 
The room had a view of the pool through glass doors, private but central.
Bharath walked in, looked around.

“You have taste in your vision,” he said, almost mocking.
Vikram didn’t react. “Thank you.”
They stood in the hall.
Vikram spoke low.



“Now let me dictate the general script you need to follow.”
Bharath crossed his arms. “Go on.”

Vikram’s voice stayed steady.
“The story you tell her is this — your own story. How your family cheated you by splitting you from Manya. Then your wife cheated on you — the baby wasn’t yours, they hurt you by not letting you see it, even its few yours you had good bonding with the kid. Suspended because of you offending the bigshot. Misunderstanding between us because of Krish. That’s enough for her to feel bad for you. Enough to bring you closer.

But use this only for friendship. Do not start anything physical with these sympathy card.. she is innocent and naive but not  fool. And dont spill this story as soon as she comes. Wait patiently, you will get right time to slowly feed this to her. And i will do that too sometime, thing is it has to be uniform like when she hear from me or from you both versions has to be same.

Bharath didnt ask why! Because he knows, through Shiney, Mirna's weakness. All he need to do is cook a story that she feel bad for him, she will be on his side, this was his plan too. But Vikram does it perfectly. He realised Vikram is seriously helping him.

Vikram continued.. For now

I will pin a story about big-shot trouble. I will say im busy in business and I’ll make her get your ride in the Thar to the hospital.
Use those rides to building the conversations

Start slow — like, where to drop, what time to pick.
Then roam here and there like you have suspicion. 


Then, as days pass, spill the story slowly. ,You dont need to ask, she will ask herself, small by small,
You spill as much as withing her question 

Bharath nodded once.

Vikram continued.

“Evening when Mirnaa comes home. She will welcome you. 
You don’t speak much — stay reserved. Let her wonder." 

Bharath’s lips twitched. “You really planned this.”
Vikram didn’t answer.
He had.


The night came.

Mirnaa returned — still in her nursing saree, tired but smiling. 
She welcomed Bharath warmly.
“I’m happy to see you here,” she said. “Make yourself comfortable.”

Bharath didn’t speak much — just a quiet “Thank you” and a nod. He stayed distant, almost unsocial.
Which surprised Vikram.
He expected a few more words from him..

He wasn’t sure what game Bharath was playing.

Later, in the kitchen, Mirnaa complained softly to Vikram.
“Why is Bharath not speaking well? He’s been so unsocial.”

Vikram spun the lie instantly.
“He’s hurt by humans. So he’s not ready to emotionally invest in friendship yet.”

Mirnaa’s face softened — sympathy flickering in her eyes.
Vikram added, gentle: “I hope we can bring him back.
In a way, you both are the same — a bit unsocial. Just be friendly with him. He will open up when he is comfortable”

Mirnaa nodded slowly.
“I’ll try.”

Vikram watched her walk away.

.
The game had begun.
And he had already risked everything

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 66 – The Night Came Again


The night came again, soft and quiet, the kind of stillness that settled over the beach house after the sun disappeared behind the waves.
As usual, Vikram wore only loose shorts. Mirnaa slipped into a simple nighty — pale lavender cotton this time, thin straps, the fabric skimming her body in gentle waves. She crawled onto the bed, settled against him, and rested her head on his chest. Her fingers traced idle patterns over the little patch of hair there, the same way she always did when she wanted to feel close.

Vikram wrapped an arm around her shoulders, feeling the warmth of her body against his. The room was lit only by the faint glow from the balcony doors — moonlight and the distant flicker of the pool lights outside.
She was quiet for a long time. Too quiet.

Vikram tilted his head slightly. “What are you thinking?”

Mirnaa shifted, adjusting her head so her ear pressed more firmly against his heartbeat. “Nothing,” she murmured. “Mmm…” She nuzzled closer, as if trying to hide inside the sound of his pulse.

Vikram ran his fingers lightly through her hair. “Long day at the hospital? Tired?”
She shook her head against his chest. “Not much. Myself and Priya went to assist at the blood donation camp held inside the hospital. It was nice… people were so grateful.”
A small pause.

Then, softly: “When did Bharath arrive?”
Vikram kept his voice even. “In the morning. After I dropped you.”

Mirnaa lifted her head just enough to look at him, brow slightly furrowed. “It’s strange… he didn’t have any word with me. Or you. I expected some friendly conversation — like we usually have with friends. Like Shiney, Priya… even when Krish comes, he chats generally, right? Bharath is always so reserved. It was like we were forcing something on him.”

She paused, thinking.

“I’ve seen him like this before. When he saved me. When he saved you. When he was in the hospital. I can see he has a helping mind… but he’s off when it comes to communication. Is he always like this?”
Vikram smiled faintly — small, careful.

Inside, he knew exactly what game was being played.
Bharath wasn’t speaking much. Not because he was unsocial.
Because he was letting her think about him.
Constantly. Without spilling a single word.
Reverse psychology. Perfect.
Good Bharath but i will have cotrol..


Vikram stroked her hair again. “He was like one of us. Back in those days — fun chats, easy laughs. But as he saw too many betrayals around him… from his own family… he started losing trust in every basic relation. He’s just a wounded man. Only love can cure him.”
He let the word love hang there — soft, innocent, natural.

Mirnaa listened carefully, eyes on his face.
Vikram continued, voice gentle. “I know this already… but you know men being friends are so awkward, haha. Like we never really have words to comfort. All we have is to go to a bar, cry out, and come back in the morning.”

Mirnaa smiled — small, understanding.
Vikram shifted the tone slightly — more serious now.

“Thing is, Mirnaa… the big-shot threat is real. You know I’m telling you I’ll move abroad soon — like twice a month, maybe weeks at a time. I cannot risk you here alone.”

Mirnaa watched his eyes, suddenly still.
“So I decided to guard you with someone I trust. Someone I believe can tackle the big-shot. He will be the best.”
He paused, letting it sink in.

“I heard from him that you took care of him best in the hospital. He had that gratitude. I bet on that.”
Mirnaa’s breathing changed — softer, deeper.

Vikram added: “After all these selfish reasons… I wanted to give him back something. Your friendship.”


Mirnaa’s breath hitched. She wasn’t sure what kind of friendship he meant. Her voice came out quiet.
“What should I do?”

Vikram looked at her — really looked — and spoke slowly, carefully.

“You know for a man, friendship from the opposite sex always drives them. They listen. Bring him back to any extent you can. You feel him unsocial, right? Begin conversations. Drag him into activities. Get him to watch a movie with you on the sofa. Then go shopping with him. These are starts… slowly he will be back.”

Mirna asked this: Do you think i can bring him back
Vikram said: You fought back and bought many lives out as a nurse. You know human emotions better. With your grace you can bring him back like you did to me

Mirnaa listened carefully, eyes wide.

Vikram added: “Tomorrow I will ask him to drop you at the hospital. He cannot excuse you in conversations while driving. He has to open his mouth. Utilize it. Treat him as a good friend. That’s the repaying your kindness for many things he had done.”

He leaned closer, voice dropping.

“He saved your dignity. If you think I’m all well today, it’s because of him. The truck could have rammed me if he didn’t come in time.”
He lied — smoothly, convincingly.

Mirnaa’s eyes teared up instantly. She hugged him tight — arms around his neck, face buried in his shoulder.
Mirna said i want to forget that day.. You all hid that from me right?


Vikram held her, kissed her forehead, consoled her softly.


They slept in that hug — bodies pressed close, her heartbeat against his chest.
No words after that.
Just warmth.

And in the dark, Vikram stared at the ceiling.
he had just handed Mirnaa the first thread to pull Bharath closer.

For him he doesnt want Bharath doubt even a second, when everything is really really happening, he can unleash his schemen behind Bharath.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 67 – Mirnaa and Bharath’s First Solo Drive

The morning arrived with a quiet that felt almost too calm.

Vikram woke slowly, the sheets still warm from Mirnaa’s body. He reached for her instinctively — but the bed was empty. The faint sound of water came from the bathroom. She was already bathing.

He sat up, ribs protesting under the tape. The room was bathed in soft golden light from the balcony doors. He glanced at the clock — 7:15 a.m.

Then he noticed the driveway through the window.
The Thar was gone.

Vikram’s stomach dropped.
He had scheduled Bharath to pick Mirnaa up at 9 a.m. — after breakfast, after he could brief Bharath again, set the tone, remind him of the rules. But Bharath had left at dawn.


Fury flared — sharp, hot. He’s too fast. Always too fast.
Vikram grabbed his phone.

Two messages waited.
Sulaiman: 6 consignments cleared overnight. Clean. Next step?

Prem: Small bidders already giving advance. Booking more. We’re moving.

Vikram stared at the screen.

Bharath was delivering — faster than expected. Good for the empire. Bad for control.
This pressures him to push more from him side on Mirnaa. 


He walked into the secret room, locked the door behind him.

The monitors glowed to life. He opened his laptop, activated the voice software, and spoke as Shadow — low, distorted, authoritative.

“Next week: 79 packages must be delivered. No delays. No leaks. 

Sulaiman — coordinate small bids, keep volume high but fragmented. 

Prem — no sabotage on Aadharsh’s big package today. 

Let him grow. Let him feel safe. I’ll share details in our next meet. Right now, concentrate only on what I say.”


He ended the call.


His phone rang immediately.

Krish.
Vikram answered.
Krish’s voice was tight. “You asked for two days to confirm. Things are already happening. How? I heard Bharath joined Aadharsh a day back.”

Vikram smiled — cold, private.
“Both are true. Bharath has been working as a double agent.”

Krish’s breath caught. “What did you offer him?”
Vikram lied smoothly. “Manya. I promised him I’ll get him married to Manya. He took the risk.”
A pause.

Krish laughed — short, disbelieving. “You are something else, Vikram. I’ll come to the house in the morning.”
Vikram cut in. “No. For some days, let’s contact only by phone. No direct meetings.”

Krish paused. “Why?”
Vikram didn’t answer that part. “Trust my words.”
Vikram doesnt want anyone to smell what he is doing with Bharath and Mirnaa
Krish did. He always did.

Call ended.

Vikram turned to the monitors.

He pulled up the camera feeds — timestamped.
Bharath had left at 4:00 a.m.
He had taken a bath at 3:50 a.m.

Vikram opened the bathroom clip.
Bharath under the shower — water streaming over a perfect body. Not extreme bodybuilder, but disciplined — broad shoulders, defined chest, hair trailing down to powerful thighs. His cock hung heavy — same length as Vikram’s but thicker, veins prominent even soft.

Vikram stared.
Jealousy spiked — small, sharp.

He should unplug him from the empire, before Bharath tries to bed her. Once he has sex… Mirnaa won’t be able to come out.

He closed the clip.

Switched to Mirnaa’s morning bath.
She stood under the rain shower, nude, water tracing every curve — fuller breasts, soft hips, the gentle roundness she had gained. She lathered slowly, hands gliding over skin, head tilted back.

Vikram played both clips side by side — Bharath and Mirnaa.
They made the hottest pair.

Better than him and her.
A little insecurity flared — hot, ugly.

He took a deep breath.
Pushed it down.

He decided: full stop once he had 50% of clients on his side.
The past voyeurism incidents had already affected him — slowly letting his wife slip into someone else’s orbit did hit his mind. But he could not appreciate it. Not yet.

He closed the feeds.

Mirnaa prepared breakfast — masala dosa, chutney, sambar. The smell filled the house.
Vikram decided to get ready. Bharath hadn’t arrived.

When he came down for breakfast, the Thar sound came in.
Bharath stepped inside.

“Hey buddy,” Vikram said. “Breakfast is ready. Join us.”
Bharath joined them at the table.

Mirnaa served him masala dosa, chutney, sambar — smiling softly.
Vikram asked: “How is it?”

Bharath said: “Delicious.” He looked at Mirnaa. “Thank you.”
Mirnaa smiled a bit — shy, nerdy, unsure how to start a conversation.

Vikram asked Bharath: “Where did you go in the morning?”
Bharath said quietly: “Business. Consignments. Short the way.” Only Vikram could hear the subtext.

Mirnaa got back with her handbag and lunch boxes.
Vikram said: “Bharath, Mirnaa is ready. Hope you can drop her. You know I have works, right?”
Bharath gently nodded.

With Bharath present, Vikram turned to Mirnaa.
“Mirnaa, you know Bharath will be picking you up and dropping you for your safety from today for some months”
She nodded — trusting.

They dispersed.
Vikram watched from the balcony as she got into the Thar.

The lion picked up its prey and left the gate.
Vikram felt an unease — sharp, deep.
But he trusted Mirnaa.

With everything going as per plan in the business, he didn’t want anything to spoil it.


Meanwhile, Bharath and Mirnaa in the Thar — 10 minutes into the drive.
Mirnaa was replaying everything Vikram had said to her last night.

She decided to initiate a conversation an attempt to bring him inside as Friend.

“Bharath… you know my hospital, right?”
Bharath glanced at her — brief, controlled. “I have visited many times. Won’t I know?”
Mirnaa laughed — soft, embarrassed. “Oops. Sorry.”
She caught the smallest smile crossing Bharath’s lips.

She said: “Looks like you know how to smile. And it’s nice.”
Bharath stayed quiet.


Mirnaa continued: “Sorry to bother you. 
I realize you’re not a talkative person. 
But I feel bored in such drives. 
Vikram and I used to speak a lot.”

The conversation felt organic. Simple.

Bharath finally spoke — voice low. 
“I used to talk a lot. But these days I’m tired. 
Sometimes when your words are enough for people to understand you… it’s better not to.”

Mirnaa realized — he could have been hurt deeply in the past.
Bharath gave a calculative reply so it wont feel sudden for him into jump in conversation

The hospital arrived in time.


She said: “Thanks.”
“Evening 6:30. My duty time will be over.”
Bharath said: “Okay.”

He asked: “Do you have my number?”
She said: “My husband has.”
He handed her his phone. “Give it to me.”

They saved each other’s numbers.
Mirnaa smiled — small, hopeful.
She hoped things would go better — if he could at least give a word like this.

Bharath’s Thar moved near the gate.
He reversed.
Parked in a hideout — out of sight.
He opened his laptop.

Monitored Mirnaa and Priya through the hidden cams.
Their talks.

Bharath suspected Vikram might have surveillance at the house. 

He knew he couldn’t risk his movements there — it would complicate things at Aadharsh’s place.

He doubted: What if Vikram plays a double-agent role — gets all the work done and gives me to Aadharsh?
So he decided on a counter-plan — one that would save him from any step Vikram might take.

Vikram didn’t realize Bharath had been this careful.
And Bharath’s intention toward Mirnaa remained the same.

He decided to start slow — exactly as Vikram wanted.
When Vikram put in too much trust — that was when Bharath would cross the boundary.

He knew the Thar Jeep and the outside world were the best places — no surveillance.
He decided to act smart.
And go slow.

End goal: bedding — sorry, owning — Mirnaa.

Chapter 67 – Three Days of Quiet Steps



Three days slipped by like the tide — slow, steady, almost invisible.


Vikram woke earlier each morning. The secret room had become his second skin. The shadow voice was now routine — a daily ritual of distorted commands, numbers, timelines. He dictated to the core 10 from the monitors: consignments, mediators, volume splits, small bids. He barely noticed the sun rising anymore. Time was being eaten, chewed up by the empire he was rebuilding from ashes.

Bharath, meanwhile, moved like clockwork.

He rose at 5:30 a.m. Checked consignments from his phone in the guest room. Left by 6:30 a.m. Returned at exactly 8:30 a.m. — showered, changed, ready to drop Mirnaa at the hospital.

The first three days followed the same pattern.
But inside the Thar, something was shifting.



Day 1 – The First Crack

The morning was still cool when Bharath pulled the Thar up at 8:32 a.m.
Mirnaa stepped out in her nurse uniform — white sari, hair tied back, small lunch bag in hand. She smiled politely as she got in.
“Good morning,” she said.
Bharath nodded. “Morning.”
The engine purred. They drove in silence for the first five minutes.
Mirnaa glanced at him — the quiet man who barely spoke at breakfast. She remembered Vikram’s words: Bring him back… he’s wounded… only love can cure him.
She cleared her throat. “You always leave so early. Do you sleep enough?”
Bharath kept his eyes on the road. “Enough.”
A pause.

Mirnaa tried again. “The hospital road is always busy this time. Vikram used to complain about traffic every day.”
Bharath’s grip on the wheel loosened slightly. “He still complains?”
Mirnaa laughed — soft, surprised he answered. “Yes. But he says it’s worth it to see me off.”
Bharath’s lips curved — the smallest hint of a smile. “Lucky man.”
Mirnaa blushed, looked out the window. “I think so.”
They reached the hospital gate.
She turned to him. “Thank you.”
Bharath nodded. “See you at 6:30.”
She got out, then paused. “Bharath… I’m glad you’re here.”
He looked at her — really looked — for the first time that morning.
Then he drove off.


Day 2 – A Small Opening 

The second morning was warmer. Mirnaa wore a light blue saree under her nurse coat — simple, elegant. She got into the Thar with a small smile.
“Good morning,” she said cheerfully.
Bharath gave a quiet “Morning.”
This time, she didn’t wait long.
Halfway through the drive, Bharath spoke first — low, almost casual.
“I liked your dosas and chutney yesterday. It was delicious.”
Mirnaa turned to him, surprised and pleased. “Really? You liked it?”
Bharath nodded once. “The chutney especially. Coconut and mint. Not too spicy. Perfect balance.”
Mirnaa beamed. “That’s my mother’s recipe. I add a little roasted gram dal for texture. Vikram loves it too.”
Bharath glanced at her. “You cook every day?”
“Most days,” she said. “It relaxes me after the hospital. Do you cook?”
Bharath shook his head. “Not much. Mostly eat out or whatever is quick.”
Mirnaa tilted her head. “That’s not good. You should eat home-cooked sometimes. It’s healthier. And… warmer.”
Bharath’s smile was small but real. “Maybe I will.”
They talked about food the rest of the way — her favorite dishes, his preference for simple South Indian meals, how she experimented with spices. Nothing deep. Just easy, light conversation.
When they reached the hospital, Mirnaa turned to him.
I thought you would just speak a little, but thanks to food topic i now know how to engage you in long conversations
Speak more, it was nice.”
Bharath looked at her for a second longer than usual.
“6:30,” he said.
She smiled — brighter this time.


Day 3 – The Lunch Box & The Hidden Affair

By the third morning, the routine felt less forced.
Mirnaa wore her favorite green saree — the one that brought out her eyes. She got into the Thar carrying a small tiffin box.
“Good morning,” she said cheerfully.
Bharath glanced at the box. “Morning. What’s that?”
Mirnaa laughed. “I made extra lunch. For you. Yesterday you liked the dosa, right? I thought… since you’re busy, you might not eat properly.”
Bharath looked genuinely surprised.
“You didn’t have to.”
“I wanted to.” She handed it to him. “Consider it thanks for the rides.”
Their fingers brushed — brief, accidental.
Mirnaa blushed.
Bharath didn’t pull away immediately.
He started driving.
After a few minutes, Mirnaa asked: “Do you like movies?”
Bharath raised an eyebrow. “Sometimes.”
Mirnaa smiled. “Vikram and I watch one every weekend. Maybe… you can join us sometime? If you’re not busy.”
Bharath was quiet for a moment.
Then — a real smile. Small. Rare. Warm.
“Maybe.”

Mirnaa beamed. “I’ll hold you to that.”
They reached the hospital.
She got out, turned back. “See you at 6:30. And… 
Smile always looks good on you.”
Bharath’s smile lingered.
“6:30,” he said.
The Thar pulled away.

Later that day, Bharath parked in his hideout near the hospital — out of sight.
He opened his laptop.
Monitored the hidden cams.
Mirnaa and Priya in the staff room — chatting.
Priya: looks like he is conversing more to you now? How this is sudden change.”
Mirnaa: “He’s nice. Just… hurt. Now with my friendship he is just getting back”
Priya giggled. “You’re already defending him.”

Bharath narrowed his eyes.
Priya’s phone buzzed. She checked it, smiled secretly, typed quickly.
Bharath zoomed in.

The message preview: Miss you. Tonight? Should i buy condoms
Sender: Unknown — but the way Priya bit her lip, the flush on her cheeks… Bharath knew.
Priya was in an affair.
He filed it away.
Useful.

Later, he worked at Aadharsh’s camp — smooth, efficient, no suspicion.
Returned at 6:30 p.m.
Picked Mirnaa up.
They drove home.


Evening routine: Vikram and Bharath conversed in the hall — short, coded updates on consignments. Mirnaa joined sometimes — bringing tea, smiling shyly.
Then Vikram helped her in the kitchen — chopping vegetables, laughing softly.


Every night, after dinner, the routine repeated.


Vikram and Mirnaa would retreat to their bedroom. The lights dimmed. She would slip into her nighty, he into his shorts. She would crawl onto the bed, rest her head on his chest, fingers playing idly with the little patch of hair there. The same spot. The same gentle circles.

And every night — without fail — she would start talking.
About the day.
About the drive.
About Bharath.

What Bharath didn’t know — what no hidden camera in the Thar could ever capture — was that Vikram didn’t need surveillance there.

Mirnaa told him everything herself.
Not leaving out a single word.

Night 1
Mirnaa nuzzled closer, voice soft against his skin.
“Today he spoke a little. Just a few words. I asked if he slept enough — he said ‘enough.’ Then I mentioned the traffic, how you always complained. He asked if you still do. I said yes. He called you a lucky man.”
Vikram’s arm tightened around her shoulders — subtle, protective.
“He smiled,” she added. “Just a tiny one. But it was there.”
Vikram stroked her hair. “Good. That’s good.”
She sighed happily. “I’m glad he’s here.”

Night 2
Mirnaa’s fingers paused on his chest.
“He spoke first today. About the dosa. Said he liked the chutney especially. Coconut and mint. I told him it’s my fav recipe, added roasted gram dal for texture. He asked if I cook every day. I said most days — it relaxes me. He said he mostly eats out. I told him home-cooked is warmer.”

She giggled softly.
“He smiled again. Real this time. Not big, but real.”
Vikram’s heart gave a small, uncomfortable thud.
He kissed her forehead. “You’re doing great.”
She looked up at him, eyes shining. “I feel like I’m helping him. A little.”

Night 3
Mirnaa curled tighter against him.
“Today I gave him lunch. Extra dosa. He looked surprised — really surprised. Said I didn’t have to. I told him I wanted to. He took it.  

 She lifted her head, looked at Vikram.
“I think he’s starting to open up. Just a little. I’m proud of that.”
Vikram smiled — small, careful.

“I’m proud of you.”
Mirnaa beamed. “I promised I’d bring him back. I’m trying.”
She settled back down, head on his chest again.
Vikram stared at the ceiling.
Everything was normal.
Too normal.

Mirnaa was proud — genuinely proud — of breaking Bharath’s shell. Of bringing him back. Of being the gentle force that could heal him.

And every night she told Vikram every detail — every word, every smile, every accidental touch — like it was a gift she was sharing with her husband.

Vikram held her closer.
His hand stroked her back in slow circles.

But inside, the guilt twisted sharper.
She’s proud of it.
She thinks she’s helping a wounded man.
She has no idea I’m the one who put him in her path.

He kissed her hair.
“I love you,” he whispered.
Mirnaa murmured back, already half-asleep. “Love you too.”

They slept tangled — her breathing soft and even against his chest.
Vikram stayed awake longer.
Listening to her heartbeat.
Watching the shadows on the wall.

Tomorrow, the drives would continue.
The smiles would grow.
The conversations would deepen.
And Vikram would keep listening — every word, every detail — filtering it all through the lens of control.

Because so far…
Everything was going exactly as planned.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 68 – Big Shift Unseen



Everything looked normal on the surface.

Vikram moved through the house with quiet confidence — dictating to the shadow network in the mornings, monitoring feeds, keeping Bharath on a short leash. The consignments were flowing. 
The empire was growing.
 Mirnaa was happy, smiling more, proud of the “progress” she was making with their silent houseguest.


But Vikram made one small mistake.
A slip of the tongue.

The night before, after dinner, they were in the bedroom again — routine now. Mirnaa in her nighty, head on his chest, fingers tracing lazy circles over his skin. Vikram had asked about the day, as always.
She told him everything — the short drive conversation, Bharath’s quiet “enough” answer, the tiny smile when she mentioned traffic.
Vikram listened, nodding, filing every detail.

The next morning, at breakfast, Bharath joined them as usual.
Mirnaa served masala dosa, chutney, sambar — the same as yesterday.
Vikram took a bite, then — casually, without thinking — said:
“Mirnaa told me you love these chutneys. She’s a great cook.”
The words left his mouth before he realized.

Bharath froze for half a second — fork halfway to his mouth.
Then he recovered, smiled politely.
“She is,” he said. “Delicious.”
But inside, alarm bells rang.
Mirnaa told him.
The conversation inside the Thar — the chutney comment — had gone straight to Vikram.
Bharath’s mind raced.

She’s telling him everything. Every word. Every smile. Every pause.
The Thar was no longer a safe place.

Mirnaa herself had become the surveillance camera — loyal, open, reporting back every night in Vikram’s arms.
Bharath kept his face neutral, thanked Mirnaa again, finished breakfast.
But the realization hit hard.
He needed to rethink.
Fast.

After dropping Mirnaa at the hospital, Bharath parked in his usual hideout near the gate — out of sight from the house cameras.
He opened his laptop.
Pulled up the feeds.
Mirnaa and Priya in the staff room — chatting.
Priya: “He’s so quiet… but kind of sweet, right?”
Mirnaa: “He is. Yesterday he even smiled when I mentioned the chutney.”
Bharath’s eyes narrowed.
Priya giggled. “You’re glowing when you talk about him.”
Mirnaa blushed. “Don’t tease. I’m just… trying to help him open up. Vikram asked me to.”
Priya’s phone buzzed. She checked it — quick smile, typed back.
Bharath zoomed in.

Message preview: Can’t wait for lunch. Same place?
Sender name blurred — but the flush on Priya’s cheeks, the way she bit her lip… confirmed it.
Priya was in an affair.
Bharath confirmed it again, he decided to play with that as a Leverage.

While he was still at parking lot looking at monitor , 
Aadharsh called him  

“You’re gold,” Aadharsh said. “Even though you’re friends with him, you’re working for me. I’m earning triple. Tell me what you want — special allowances? Shares?”

Bharath laughed — low, easy. “Not needed now. I’ll ask when the time comes.”
Aadharsh pressed. “Done deal. Consider whatever it is you’re doing.”
Then — casual: “Krish’s network is growing. Should we be worried?”

Bharath said: “Yes. We need to be worried. But not at this stage. I’m closely watching. Even some of their consignments move through me — smaller ones.”

Aadharsh: “You helped. Why?”
Bharath: “That’s how business works. It’s not about money. It’s about feeding. You feed them, keep them alive, so the small fishes grow bigger. Then you eat them. They’ll bring unknown new players inside. When they grow… let’s take them.”

Aadharsh laughed. “What a brain. I know you’d have a reason. Glad you think that way.”
Call ended.
Aadharsh slapped his informer for bad mouthing Bharath. Look he is loyal.. and he is sharp..

Bharath smiled in the Thar.
He knew an unusual call from Aadharsh meant someone had tipped him. He had answers ready.


Then — something unusual.
Priya coming out of the hospital.
A car pulled up.
She looked around — quick, nervous — then got in.
Bharath’s eyes narrowed.
That’s him.

He followed them.
The car headed to an ECR resort — secluded, private.
Bharath parked a distance away.

Tipped a staff member he knew — casual bribe, quiet question.
“Regulars,” the staff said. 

“Every weekday afternoon. Some Sundays too.”
Bharath smiled — slow, dangerous.
He had something now.
A crack.

Priya’s secret affair.
A secret zone.

A place where Mirnaa could learn to keep things private — not share with Vikram.
That’s what Bharath had wanted from the start: befriend her, then overstep Vikram by secretly taking Mirnaa — with her consent — while staying in surveillance.

Mirnaa was too loyal to Vikram.
But secrets change loyalty.

He picked Mirnaa up at 6:30 p.m.
This time, he was warmer — small talk, a real smile.
Mirnaa noticed. “You seem… better today.”
Bharath glanced at her. “Maybe.”
She smiled — hopeful.

The night routine continued.
Mirnaa rested her head on Vikram’s chest, told him about the day — the short morning drive, Bharath’s mood being off, then normal again.
Vikram listened.
Everything normal.

He was happy — consignments received, small owners confident, almost 30 new players onboard with Krish.
He was unaware the scheme was about to play today.

After dropping Mirnaa the next morning, Bharath parked aside.
Waited until Priya was dropped by her husband on the bike.
Saw him.

Then entered the hospital.
Mirnaa looked up, surprised.
“Bharath? Why are you here?”

Bharath smiled — calm, gentle.
“I need to speak with Priya.”
He started his game.

Chapter 69 – Bharath Move



“Priya,” he said quietly. “Follow me to the car for a minute.”

She followed — hesitant, pulse already quickening.

Inside the Thar, Bharath closed the door.   No engine. Just silence.
He turned to her.

“Tell me honestly,” he said. “Does your husband know about your affair?”

Priya’s face drained of color. Her mouth opened — no sound came out at first.

“How… how do you know?” she whispered, voice cracking. “Did Mirnaa tell you?”
Bharath raised a hand — slow, calming.

“Relax. Mirnaa doesn’t know that i know. 
I’m asking because I want to help you. That’s why.”
Priya’s breathing was shallow. 
She stared at him — searching for a lie, for judgment.

Bharath had two paths in mind before this moment.
If it was an open relationship — he would say: Your husband lacks trust. He’s monitoring you anyway. That’s not openness; that’s control.
If it was cheating — he was ready with the harder line: He’s starting to doubt you. I can see it. He follows you here every day.

Priya’s eyes filled. “He doesn’t know.”
Bharath nodded once — confirming the second path.

He leaned in slightly, voice low.

“You know every day after I drop Mirnaa, I work from this laptop right here in the same spot. I’ve seen your husband. He comes later — twenty minutes after you. Parks, checks if you’re here, then sneaks away.”

Priya’s hand flew to her mouth. Tears welled.
“He… he does that?”

Bharath Said Yes

Priya said Next Week we have planned ear piercing ceremony for my child, I dont know why smelled it now? 

Bharath said, He’s already doubting. He’s watching. That’s why he follows. May be he thinks you will be diverted and be in affair so that he can catch you May be he is not sure yet, someone might tipped he might just checking you . whatever i wanted to warn you hence”

Priya nodded, tears spilling now. “How did you know about… about the affair?”
Bharath looked at her — steady, non-judgmental.

“I saw you once. With a man. At the ECR resort. I wasn’t looking for it. I was just there.”

Priya’s shoulders shook.

Bharath softened his tone.
“I respect your personal life. It’s your choice. I won’t judge you. But as Mirnaa’s friend… I wanted to look out for you. Be careful.”

Priya wiped her eyes. “Mirnaa doesn’t know. She thinks it’s open… that my husband knows. Please don’t tell her.”

Bharath nodded slowly.
“I can secure that secret,” he said. “For you.”

Priya exhaled — shaky relief. “Thank you.”

She didn’t ask why he had called her out here.
She just left — shaken, grateful.

Bharath watched her go.
He had what he needed.

Mirnaa, meanwhile, had noticed Bharath speaking to Priya earlier. Priya hadn’t said anything about it.

Curiosity gnawed.
She decided to ask Bharath in the evening.

Meanwhile, Krish called Vikram.
“I’ve onboarded all thirty customers,” Krish said. “Our network is expanding. Next week — come with me to Dubai. Purchase stocks. Make the new deal. It’s important. Once we procure it, even Aadharsh can’t stop our growth.”

Vikram nodded to himself. “I’ll be there.”
Call ended.

Bharath reached home later.
Vikram was waiting in the hall.

“The consignment issues are sorted,” Vikram said. “A new partner is approaching. I might need to go to Dubai next week.”

Bharath heard every word.
One week of your absence. Perfect time.
He kept his face neutral.
Then he pushed.

“Good,” he said. “But we need to advance things with Mirnaa.”
Vikram froze. “Why? What?”

“Yes,” Bharath said simply.
Vikram’s voice hardened. “You just joined there. 
A few consignments are moving. You started good as friends. 
Pushing now is not our plan. Not in our timeline.”

Bharath pulled out his phone.
Played a recording — yesterday’s conversation with Aadharsh.
“Someone tipped off Aadharsh. I managed to lie and divert.”
Bharath stopped the recording.

“You’ll crack a deal with a new customer in Dubai. What about me? I’m risking here. Mirnaa’s safety is with me. How long the friendship drama? 

I need to date her. Take her out. Watch films like lovers. This week. From today. Do something. I’ll be in your control — or game, whatever.

I need to plan the first brick of mistakes at Aadharsh’s place. When you return, that will happen. I at least need a kiss or hug. Friendship or lust — I don’t care. I need to push.”

Vikram was cornered.
He stared at Bharath — calculating, silent.
Bharath stood.

“I’m risking myself on this. If you trust me — orchestrate something. Let me know tomorrow.”

He left. Bharath need no apporval of Mirnaa or Vikam, but he decided to play the way Vikram had played so far. Let him think im in Control. Yes i cannot risk being double agent but your absence for a week enough..He Smirked

In the evening, Bharath pretended to be at work — came back early at 6 p.m.
He went into the hospital.
Asked Mirnaa if duty was over.
She said: “Ten minutes.”

Then she came out.
She couldn’t contain her curiosity.
“What did you speak to Priya? She didn’t say anything.”
Bharath looked at her — calm.

“If you can keep the secret… I will.”
Mirnaa’s eyes widened. “Secret?”
Bharath stepped closer.

“I know you know about her affair. Her husband is starting to doubt it.”
Mirnaa frowned. “But… it’s like an open relationship. How can he doubt?”
Bharath nodded slowly.

“Yes, it’s open. But he suspects something. He keeps monitoring her. 
Which means he’s up to something. So I warned her. Took the matter into control.”

His hand slowly caught her hand — gentle but firm.
Mirnaa froze — shocked at the touch.
Bharath held her gaze.

“Please keep it a secret. Even Vikram shouldn’t know.”

Mirnaa’s cheeks flushed. “I… I won’t say things like this.”


Bharath said, if thats the case im fine...
I know you share everythying we speak here inside Thar Jeep

Mirnaa’s breath hitched. “How do you know…?”
Bharath released her hand slowly.

“When he mentioned the chutney yesterday… I understood. You tell him everything.”
Mirnaa’s cheeks flushed. “I… I won’t say things like this.”
She looked down. “Sorry. Did it hurt you?”

Bharath’s voice softened.
“I don’t know. Sometimes friendship needs privacy too. 
The car here, we here… we have our own time. But… leave it. You love your husband.”
He paused.

I was just opening to you started building a healthy friendship but something like this, it turns me off any way nothing wrong of what you did and more over “I have other issues going on. 

Tomorrow I’m meeting Manya.”
Mirnaa looked up. “Who is Manya?”

Bharath said: “My ex-lover. She believes I did something to her husband. 
Worst fear is when loved ones misunderstand you. I’m meeting her tomorrow.”
He stepped closer.

“Don’t say any of this to Vikram. He might not want me to go. 
If you truly consider me a friend… please don’t even let him know.”
Mirnaa’s eyes filled — sympathy, confusion, guilt.

“Sorry,” she whispered. “I won’t tell anything to Vikram from now.”
She looked at him — earnest.
“I truly consider you a friend.”

Bharath’s hand caught hers again — tighter this time.
“Thanks,” he said.
He accelerated in his game.

Chapter 70 – Vikram's Confession Time Or Manipulation time



The evening Bharath and Mirnaa arrived together in the Thar. 
Mirnaa stepped out first, saree slightly rumpled from the long day, her face carrying a quiet shadow. 

She had been replaying the afternoon conversation in her mind — the way Bharath’s hand had caught hers, the plea to keep secrets, the mention of Manya. 
She felt guilty. I hurt him, she thought. I didn’t consider his feelings. 


Bharath followed, expression neutral, but his eyes flicked to her once — brief, assessing.
They entered the house.


Vikram was in the hall, phone off, waiting.
Dinner was simple — rice, rasam, vegetable poriyal. Mirnaa served silently. Bharath ate quietly. Vikram watched both of them, sensing the shift but not yet understanding it.
After dinner, Vikram and Mirnaa retreated to their bedroom. The routine was the same — lights low, her in the pale lavender nighty, him in shorts. She crawled onto the bed, rested her head on his chest, fingers tracing the familiar patch of hair.
But tonight, she was distant — lost in thought.



Vikram felt it immediately.

But he was in different trouble or pressure.

Vikram had been upset all day. Everything was progressing as planned — consignments moving, Bharath delivering — but the speed was unnerving. Bharath’s push this afternoon had cornered him. The Dubai trip next week was real now — Krish had confirmed it. Vikram couldn’t risk Bharath doubting his commitment. He had to manage the scenario. Keep Bharath in line. Keep Mirnaa safe.


He realize he cannot hold control of Bharath as he was becoming more demanding as his job gets tighter there
He fixed a timeline Give something to Bharath, keep him engaged , go to dubai get all strings ready, get back, make bharath to unplug at aadahrsh place, as soon as he get exposed him to aadahrsh, he will safely remove Mirna from the play. But to what extend he had to allow him to Mirna remained the question But he was sure, Bharat will get nothing except for some kiss or hug.,  

[heygiwriter]

Mirnaa still circling his hair on chest..
He stroked her hair slowly. “What bothers you?”
Mirnaa adjusted her head against his heartbeat. “Nothing,” 


Vikram find this as right time.. He spoke gently.

“Next week I may be going to Dubai — finalizing stocks. The new business is moving faster than I thought.”


Mirnaa lifted her head slightly. “You didn’t tell me…”

She sounded distracted — circling her finger on his chest, mind elsewhere.
Vikram caught her hand, kissed her knuckles.



“You look worried about being alone?” he said.  Mirnaa looked at him — eyes soft.


Vikram continued, voice low, careful.

“Bharath is here. Just… go with him outside sometimes. Shopping. Movies. Hotel — like a date.”

Mirnaa’s eyes widened. With the word like a date! She hit his hand playfully. “What are you blabbering?”

Vikram laughed — soft, easy. “We’re friends, with Bharath  right? I said it in a fun tone.”


But he didn’t back down.

“I’m really open about letting you explore the world. Go with him in evenings. 
Don’t shut yourself inside the house.”


Mirnaa stared at him. “Are you speaking for real? Do you understand what you are speaking”  He nodded. “Yes.”


He continued — voice dropping, almost conspiratorial.

“I’m doing this because I want Bharath back to his old self. He’s opening up to you… just bring him back. He lied, I know how he was once.. The fun charm, the smile all coming back for few weeks now.. You should accelerate it and bring more out of him.. 


Do it as a friend. Usually men tend to listen most to the opposite gender.”


Mirnaa  stared at him. “I understand you wanted to help him, repay our kindness we are already doing it.. but 

I never see a husband appreciate his wife going out with another man.”
The word hit hard on him ...


But Vikram still smiled — gentle, calm and composed tried to impose something on her.

“I’m asking my wife to bring back one soul out of suffering. Imagine if not bharath then, the bigshot would have forced you. If not him you wouldn't have seen me.. What's the best we can do? other than Bring him back ..



Mirna still could not understand anything of Vikram has been telling, finally said I'm not sure I couldn't relate or accept any of it. 


after a pause she continued.
But I whole heartedly wanted to help Bahrath. But hanging around him wont the world think bad? 


Vikram asked did the world saved us or Bharath?.

His sharp question left Mirna in a pause
Vikram keep looking on her eyes. Suddenly Mirna's " I never see a husband appreciate his wife going out with another man.” dialogue which she said few minutes ago ringed again in his head




Vikram rose from his place, Mirnaa too 
He sat on bed, like for some serious conversation 
He took a deep breath like he was decided something and going to speak 
Mirna watched him with seriousness



Okay Mirna, Few Questions Answer me Honestly 

Have i ever lied to you?
Mirna said: No 


Did i ever made you felt not at all loved
Mirna: Not even a single time


Do you trust me
Mirna: Who else i will.


DO you love me same as when i met you 
Mirna: every second.. 


Same case here Mirna, to me you did the same, You never lied to me, You never made me felt unloved, you never mistrusted me and i have full trust in you. The love I had for you only doubled and never dropped.


Mirna was confused why he is saying all these all of the sudden

Vikram understandingly continued

For the past few minutes i have been blabbering a lot, because i don't have guts to tell you what decision i had made. 


I was even in guilt for past few weeks because I'm not open to you.


Mirna carefully watched him with a shock..

She asked  what is troubling you.. Why you are hesitant to share to me.. 
Tell me whatever you want.. Please dont stress thinking i would take it bad, if that is bad we will speak it out

Vikram cached her hand slowly  . You need to hear my confession, slowly pateintly hear all and then respond..


Vikram then lied, You know why Bharath came that day to hospital to save you? He didn't come there coincidentally, he came there to see you.. For thanking you, actually he was impressed. This echoed exactly like our old story. But you are married to me.. 


After Manya, his love, and Ex Wife, no one else had sparked an interest in him. You did but you are my wife. Ever since he knows it he maintained a good distance and never tried to enter our space.. 


Mirna watched carefully 

But he had been a good friend. I got to know about this through Rishi the common friend. He and rishi came to meet you. That is when big shot thing happend. He came next day but after hearing i was in trouble he came to station and you now what happened. He tried his best to protect us, just because you saved him.. He risked his life, because im a friend, my wife had saved hiim.. 


But his personal life is a mess. To the person who did all to us deserves more right!, I understood he had some soft feelings for you …I mean in a good way like a friend or well wisher because you saved him may be


That is when I decided to capitalize on that, He never interested in Remarriage for almost 4 years now. He stuck to past, 
He didn't even Socialize, A good person should have a good life.
. 
So i saw the opportunity especially through us.. he opens to you, he listens to you  i want you to date with him, you would change him, when he socialize normal like funs and all. We he gets back interested i believe we can speak with him and get him into marriage talks.. What you say


I don't know how to tell this directly, I don't know how you will take this..  so i have been circling a lot topic, lot directions but  i have no other option so surrendered. 


Will you do this for him? For us?


Mirna was taken back.. She said i will happily involved if this is for his good but.. 
I'm unsure about rest. the date thing and all. 
Vikram said just trust my process do what i say.. 


Mirnaa shook her head slowly. “okay”

Vikram asked do you think bad of me?
Mirna said "No"
Vikram kissed her forehead.


Mirna asked with a hesitation! How... how... how can i date him? 
I'm married.. “Isn’t it wrong?

Vikram said marriage has nothing to do with date, its two people just getting to know each other, they speak heart to heart, then some people escalate it to sex. some wont. We will fall in the second category. 


Then you could have called as friends right, friendly outings

Vikram said, you know we are trying to get a friend into marriage feelings, getting him attracting to normal life style. so sometimes it involves flirt, hugs.. not many friends would do that, so date is perfect terminology

And speaking of which only you and me know its a Date for him.. you are taking him out.. 

Mirna asked how in the world i take him out, like naturally , if you dont want him to know my intention and yet play alog our plan

Vikram shook his head. “No.  you will do it in action.. You guys are already friends speaking in the car, going together, coming together. Just ask him to stop at some local shop. Buy something. Start slow. Like casual not out of the box , Then take him to shop yourself. Make it a practice. When I'm in Dubai slowly dine out sometime. Speak hearts out. Then say you’re bored — you, Priya, and Bharath go for a movie. Then cut Priya. You two go?”

So this will work naturally, he also wont get doubt.
Thing is if he is aware of our plan, he will revert back and go away from our house.. 

So make it natural.

This how simple it is. 

Mirna still under confusion, Vikram realized said this
Consider this as a help for me, if not for him. Bring him back.”

Mirna whispered: “Sure. From tomorrow… I’ll do all you asked.”
Vikram held her tighter.

Vikram perfectly manipulated her, 
Inside, the guilt twisted — but the plan was moving.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 71 – Bharath's Game


The morning came back soft and golden, sunlight filtering through the balcony curtains, painting long stripes across the bedroom floor.
Vikram woke slowly — the bed still warm from Mirnaa’s side. He reached instinctively, but she was already gone. The sound of running water came from the bathroom — she was bathing again.

He sat up, ribs stiff but healing. His phone buzzed on the nightstand — Krish had sent a batch of papers to review: Dubai logistics, stock manifests, new partner contracts. Vikram glanced at them briefly, then set the phone aside.

He walked to the balcony.

The Thar was still parked in the driveway.
Vikram’s brow furrowed. Bharath hadn’t left at dawn today.
Surprise flickered .
Vikram went downstairs.
Bharath was already in the hall, leaning against the kitchen counter, coffee mug in hand, eyes on the pool view. 
He looked up when Vikram entered.
“Did you decide?” Bharath asked quietly. “What’s the next move?”

Vikram took him aside — to the small study room off the hall, door closed.

He spoke low.
“I brainwashed Mirnaa last night. Told her everything — your past, Manya, the accident, how you saved me, how you’re wounded. I told her you have soft feelings for her… in a good way. That you deserve a good life. I asked her to help bring you back — as a friend. To hang out. Shopping. Movies. Dates.”

Bharath’s eyes narrowed slightly — calculating.

Vikram continued. “She agreed. Said she’ll do it from today . But give it a few days — natural time. She’ll take the initiative. You stay uninterested, reserved. Let her chase a little. Remember — no sex. Just roaming around together. Being free. Some flirt. Getting to know each other. When I’m in Dubai next week, you can take her to cinemas, beach, spend quality time. Is this enough?” 
Bharath nodded slowly. “Enough for now.”

Vikram: more importantly, dont let the word date out, i casually injected that thought.. you never call that word
Bharath: Good

Vikram exhaled. “Good. Now we should work on the important stuff — business.”

Bharath sipped his coffee. “I’m meeting Manya today.”
Vikram’s head snapped up. “Manya today? Why?”

Bharath shrugged — casual, but eyes sharp. “Just meeting her for one chance. Evening you should pick Mirnaa. I’ll come back late.”
Vikram studied him. Is he up to something?

Bharath met his gaze. “Irrespective of outcome, I’ll help you. 
We agreed. If you’re lucky, I may not have any chance of touching Mirnaa.”
Vikram’s face broke into a rare, genuine smile — relief flooding through him.

“I’ll be happy for you if Manya works out,” he said. “Keep me updated. 
Don’t worry — I’ll pick up Mirnaa.”

He hugged Bharath — brief, brotherly.
“Thanks for understanding.”

Vikram felt real relief — like a weight had lifted. 
Maybe this works. Maybe Manya pulls him back. Maybe I don’t have to push Mirnaa further.

Bharath returned the hug — then pulled away.

After breakfast — Mirnaa serving quietly, smiling softly at both of them — Bharath took the keys.
Mirnaa got into the Thar.
The drive was quiet at first.

Near the hospital, traffic thickened — barricades up, cops directing vehicles. Bharath slowed, then pulled over.
“Traffic,” he said. “Let’s walk.”

He parked neatly by the roadside, got out, and opened Mirnaa’s door.
She stepped out — surprised.
Bharath offered his hand.
Mirnaa hesitated — then took it.
He walked beside her — hand in hand — toward the hospital gate. Like lovers.

Mirnaa’s heart raced. Last night Vikram had wanted her to date him. 
Today Bharath was holding her hand in public. She looked around — no one staring, but it felt… exposed.

Priya saw them from the entrance — eyes wide, mischievous smile spreading.

Bharath turned to Mirnaa at the gate.
“Wish me good luck.”

Mirnaa blinked. “For what?”
“I’m meeting Manya today. Remember I said yesterday?”
His face lit up — full smile, energy, hope.

Mirnaa smiled back — broader, genuine. She was happy for him.
“Good luck,” she said softly.

Bharath pulled her into a hug — sudden, warm, in open view.
Mirnaa froze — hands at her sides, then slowly came up to his back.
“Thanks,” he whispered. “I’ll call you when it’s done.”
He released her.

Mirnaa blushed — looked around. Her hands came to her mouth.
She didn’t know if she should tell Vikram.
But she remembered Bharath’s plea: Keep it secret. Even Vikram shouldn’t know.
She hesitated.
Finally — she put it on hold.

Hours passed.
No call from Bharath.

In the evening, Vikram came to pick her up.

Mirnaa got into the car — quiet, disappointed.
She didn’t ask why Bharath didn’t come.

Instead, she kept looking at her phone — waiting for a call from him.
Vikram noticed. “Everything okay?”
Mirnaa smiled faintly. “Yes. Just… tired.”
She stared out the window.
Her phone stayed silent.

Inside, a small seed of worry bloomed.
Bharath hadn’t called.
And she hadn’t told Vikram about the hug.
The secret had begun.

Chapter 72 – Bharaths staged Drunken act!


The bar was dim and smoky, tucked away on a quiet ECR side road. Bharath sat in the corner booth, half-empty whiskey glass in front of him, untouched for the last twenty minutes. He had ordered it for show.

Earlier, when the traffic cops had stopped him near the hospital barricades, he had slipped them a bottle of premium wine and a thick envelope of cash. One of them — the senior constable with the thick mustache — had grinned wide.

“Sir, because of you we got heavy dose today. This payment is not enough, sir.”
Bharath had smiled — calm, generous — and handed over another 5,000 rupees without a word.


It was 7 p.m. now.

He had nursed the glass slowly, letting the minutes crawl. He needed to smell of liquor. Look unsteady. Act broken.
At 10 p.m., he stood, paid the bill in cash, and walked to the Thar with deliberate stagger — shoulders slumped, steps uneven. He got behind the wheel, started the engine, and drove home.

The beach house lights were still on.
Mirnaa had stayed awake.

She had waited for a call — any message — after the morning hug. Nothing came. No update about Manya. No “I’m fine.” No “I’ll be late.”
She sat in the living room, phone in hand, saree changed to a simple nighty, worry creasing her brow.
Did Manya reject him? Did something go wrong?

When the Thar’s headlights swept across the gate, she stood up fast.
The front door opened.

Bharath stumbled in — eyes glassy, shirt untucked, reeking of whiskey. He leaned heavily against the wall, breathing hard.
Mirnaa’s heart lurched.
“Bharath!”

She raced forward, caught his arm before he could fall.
He smelled strongly of liquor — sharp, sour. She hated the scent, but she held him anyway.
Vikram appeared from the hallway, eyes narrowing.
He ran over, caught Bharath’s other arm.

Together they half-carried, half-dragged him to the guest room.
Bharath mumbled incoherently — slurred words, heavy breaths.
They laid him on the bed.

Vikram loosened Bharath’s collar, removed his shoes.
Mirnaa stood at the door, hands clasped, worried.
Vikram sighed. “Let him sleep it off.”

He turned to leave.
Bharath’s hand suddenly shot out — grabbed Vikram’s wrist.

Vikram froze.
Bharath’s voice came out — thick, broken, but clear enough.
“I was cheated again, Vikram… I was… I went to meet Manya she ditched me again...”

He looked up — eyes wet, voice cracking.
“Why no one can see the good in me? Even you see me as a villain, right?”
He turned his head toward Mirnaa.

“Mirnaa… you? Did you see me as a villain? The first day you saw me… villain, right?”
Mirnaa stepped closer, voice trembling. “No… no, Bharath…”
Bharath continued — words tumbling, raw.

“I too wanted a peaceful life… why all of you are pushing me…”
He burst — fake sobs, shoulders shaking.
He reached toward Mirnaa — hand shaking.

“Mirnaa… I have been picking you up daily… did my finger lay on you even once? She is telling me I’m a sex maniac… do I look like one?”
Mirnaa’s eyes widened — guilt crashing over her.

Bharath’s voice dropped to a whisper.
“One doesn’t want to live with me… one doesn’t want to show my daughter… my parents… all troubles there… Rishi is the only one who’s helping me… now Mirnaa…”

He acted like he was falling — body slumping forward.
Mirnaa instinctively caught him — arms around his shoulders.
“Save me…” he blabbered. “Help me…”

His head lolled against her breast — staged, perfect.
Then — silence.

He went still — breathing deep, like sleep had taken him.
Mirnaa held him a moment longer — she felt really bad almost a tear dropped.
Vikram watched — face unreadable.

Mirnaa gently laid Bharath back on the pillow, pulled the blanket over him.
She looked at Vikram — voice small.
“He’s… really broken.”

Vikram nodded once.
“Let him rest.”

They left the room.
In the dark, Bharath opened his eyes.
He stared at the ceiling.
A slow smile spread across his face.


The performance had worked.
Mirnaa had held him.
She had cried for him.

And Vikram had seen it all.


Back in the room, first time in years. Mirna and Vikram slept separately in the same bed, her head was not on his chest. he turned her back and thinking about Bharath. Vikram realized Manya is out officially, he might ask for Mirna.. 

Both slept separately in same bed. Bharath win starts indirectly!

Chapter 73 – Bharath's Calculated trap set for Vikram


The morning came back soft and golden, sunlight filtering through the balcony curtains, painting long stripes across the bedroom floor.

Vikram woke slowly — the bed still warm from Mirnaa’s side. He reached instinctively, but she was already gone. The sound of running water came from the bathroom — she was bathing again.

He sat up, ribs stiff but healing. His phone buzzed on the nightstand — Krish had sent a batch of papers to review: Dubai logistics, stock manifests, new partner contracts. Vikram glanced at them briefly, then set the phone aside.
He walked to the balcony.
The Thar was gone.

Vikram’s brow furrowed. He had expected Bharath to be here — hungover, sobbing, broken after last night’s performance. Instead, the driveway was empty.
He left early again.
Surprise flickered — then unease. What is he up to?

His phone rang.
Krish.


Vikram answered.

Krish’s voice was tight with excitement. “Aadharsh took a big blow. One of his consignments got damaged — products spoiled. He’s panicking. The second-largest customer of Sekaran Anna’s old network was the party. They’re furious. Fingers are pointing at Aadharsh’s warehouse.”
Vikram’s grip tightened on the phone.

He had specifically told Bharath to wait — play the sabotage only after the Dubai trip. Why now?

“I wanted Bharath to time this after I return from Dubai,” Vikram said, voice low. “Why is he doing this now?”
Krish laughed. “He’s good, Vikram. Maybe too good. But it worked. The customer is already talking to us.”
Vikram ended the call.
He waited.

Mirnaa came out after her bath — fresh, glowing, wrapped in a towel. She started cooking breakfast — masala dosa, chutney, sambar — the smell filling the house.
Vikram watched her from the doorway.

She seemed quieter than usual — eyes distant, mind elsewhere.
At 8:00 a.m., the Thar sound came in.
Bharath stepped inside.

He went straight to Mirnaa in the kitchen.
“I’m sorry,” he said quietly.

Mirnaa froze — spatula in hand. He had never spoken to her directly in the house before. All conversations had been confined to the Thar.
Bharath continued — voice low, sincere.

“Last night… I was drunk. I don’t remember anything. If I caused any trouble to either of you… I’m sorry.”
Mirnaa’s eyes softened. “It’s okay, Bharath. You were… hurting.”

Bharath turned to Vikram, who had stepped into the kitchen.
“Sorry to you too, Vikram.”

Vikram nodded once — face unreadable. “That’s okay. We understand. Just have breakfast and drop her at the hospital.”
Bharath nodded.
Breakfast was quiet.


After, Bharath and Mirnaa left in the Thar.


On the way to the hospital, Mirnaa broke the silence.
“What happened yesterday?”

Bharath kept his eyes on the road. “Nothing.”
A tear slipped down his cheek — slow, deliberate.
Mirnaa saw it.

Her hand moved — unexpected, instinctive — reached across the console and wiped it away.
Bharath glanced at her — eyes watery.

“Thanks,” he whispered. “And sorry… if I caused you trouble last night.”
Mirnaa shook her head. “Nothing like that.”
She paused.

“If you want to open up… please share with me.”
Bharath looked at her for a long moment — eyes glistening.
“I wanted to… but…”

Mirnaa intervened gently. “Share your pain with us. Don’t ever touch that bottle again.”
Bharath smiled — small, sad, watery.
“Thanks.”


He subtly palmed the small glycerin vial in his pocket before she could see it.


Back at the house, Bharath returned after dropping Mirna.
Vikram was waiting in the hall.
“What happened?” Vikram asked.
Bharath exhaled — tired, broken.
“My fault. We should forget those 12 hours.”
Vikram’s face stayed unreadable.

Bharath continued — voice soft, defeated.
“Don’t worry. At this state… I’m not ready to think anything. My emotions need healing — not the body. Even if you send her to me… I’m not ready to do anything. Anything with respect to Mirnaa… let’s give it time. You are a lucky fellow.”
He paused.

“Look how things are delaying.”
Vikram released a breath — something eased in him.

But he had something inside him troubling, why did he sabotage Aadahrsh consignment now? What if he smells


He  asked: “How did Aadharsh’s consignment end up damaged? I asked you to do it only after I return from Dubai.”
Bharath shrugged — casual.

“It’s natural. His warehouse has too many rats. They used to leave food there. Last week Aadharsh himself was eating a creamy cake. I warned him not to have these here. One cake fell down. I said it fell inside a carton box. He dismissed it — just a box. That’s when the idea popped. I put a small piece exactly into the carton box. Rats smelled it. They bit the product. Today when it reached the customer… Aadharsh’s name is damaged. Morning I went to inspect with experts. All fingers pointed at Aadharsh. He accepted with no choice.”

Vikram stared at him.
Then patted his shoulder. “What a clever man you are.”
He asked: “What do you want? Tell me. I can give you.”
Bharath looked at him — eyes tired, sincere.


“I need Mirnaa. Not for sex. I need to vent out my emotional outburst.
 Can you… send her to me? Tonight? 20 mins, i will vent out.. Do something and ask her to hug me. That could do.”


Vikram felt something deep down — touched, almost moved.
He had wanted to really help Bharath. A
And what Bharath had done — the consignment sabotage — looked completely natural. No suspicion. No trace.

Vikram said: “Okay.”

He could not suspect Bharath’s move.
He was very much into the trap.

Chapter 74 – Mirna enters into Bharaths Room.

The house was quiet after dinner — only the soft hum of the pool pump outside and the distant roll of waves.
Mirnaa had slipped into her lavender nighty — the one that always made her feel soft, feminine. She came to bed, crawled in, and after a moment placed her head on Vikram’s chest. Her fingers traced slow circles on his skin — the familiar ritual.

But tonight, her touch was distracted. Her breathing uneven.
Vikram felt it.

Vikram had spent the day turning the situation over in his mind. Bharath’s “drunken” breakdown last night had shaken him more than he admitted. The hug. The tears. He needed.  Mirna , thinking about Bharath’s pain.

Vikram didn’t know how deep Bharath’s play had already gone.
He didn’t know Mirna's walls were already cracking.
He is already orchestrating what Bharath wanted.. now Vikram is pushing her— carefully.

“Did you speak something to Bharath today?” he asked gently.
Mirnaa looked up at him. “Yeah… something. While going to the hospital. He didn’t say anything… but tears came out of him. I couldn’t say anything. I don’t know what to do. Looks like his pain is something else.”
Vikram nodded slowly.

“He needs someone to speak openly, share his issues. If he keeps it to himself, it will burden him more.”
Mirnaa sighed. “That’s what I thought too. Maybe he should open up to me.”
Vikram’s hand stilled on her hair.

“He may be needing one… but he’s hesitant to take the call.”
A pause.
Then — carefully — he said:

“Mirnaa… why don’t you go to him? Stay at his place for a few minutes. Hear his story. Give him some moral support.”
Mirnaa lifted her head. “Now?”

Vikram nodded. “Then when? Morning he goes for work early. Coming only at breakfast. Evening we’re all held up in chores. Now is the right time. Your travel time won’t be good enough. He may have a lot to share.”
Mirnaa bit her lip. “Okay…”
But she hesitated.

“Sometimes I get stuck. I don’t have words to comfort one.”
Vikram saw the opening.
He inserted it gently.

“Sometimes words are really not necessary. Just… hug him.”
Mirnaa’s eyes widened — not shocked, but hesitant.
Vikram pushed — soft, reassuring.

“It’s perfectly alright. Imagine Priya in his place. Won’t you hug her and pat her?”
Mirnaa swallowed. “Same…”
Vikram continued.

“I can do the hug too but… that won’t be warm like one from a woman. It’s like a heal. Imagine he was sobbing — you hug him. He gets relief. You kiss him on forehead. He will melt. He would relax.”
Mirnaa’s cheeks flushed. “I can hug… but kiss…”

Vikram smiled gently.
“Won’t you kiss Priya? Won’t you kiss an elderly person, a child? Treat him like a patient. More than that… I feel you could be the medicine. Don’t restrict.”

Mirnaa swallowed hard.

“I wanted to but… kind of fear incoming. Can you come with me?”
Vikram shook his head.

“I need to give him privacy time with you and him. If I’m with him he won’t say anything. With you he can be himself — vent out his anger, his disappointment.”
Mirnaa looked down.

“I don’t think I can…”
Vikram reached for the AirPods on the nightstand.

“Wear these. I’ll be on call with you. I can hear him. I’ll instruct what to do. You need not say or ask anything to me — just do what I say. In first place I’ll leave you as it is. But when you get stuck with no words — just give a cough. I’ll guide. One more cough — I’ll stop.”
Mirnaa stared at the AirPods.

Then — slowly — she nodded.
“Okay.”

Vikram quickly called her phone — connected the AirPods. He didnt give her time to think
“I’m on the line. Go now.”

Mirnaa took one AirPod, placed it in her left ear.
She departed the room.

Vikram watched her descend the stairs from the bedroom doorway.


He fired a quick text to Bharath:

She’s coming. Vent out. Get relaxed. We are with you.
Downstairs, Bharath sank into sober thought.
Stage set.


Mirnaa stepped into the downstairs guest bedroom — wide bed shadowed, lights low. Bharath slumped on the edge, head in hands.
“Bharath?” she whispered, crossing to him.
He looked up — eyes red-rimmed (glycerin still fresh), voice hoarse.
“What are you doing here?”
Mirnaa stepped closer.


“I thought… I should speak with you.”
Bharath’s eyes softened.

he looked at her for few minutes then said
“Come in.”


The door shut with a soft creek.
Vikram — listening through the AirPods — felt a strange jolt.
He was shaken.

Chapter 75 – The First Hot Hug 

The bedroom was bathed in the soft amber glow of the bedside lamp. Mirnaa sat near the edge of the bed — lavender nighty slipping slightly off one shoulder, the thin cotton clinging to the gentle swell of her breasts with every slow breath. She had just come from Vikram’s room, AirPod discreetly in her left ear, heart beating too fast.

She looked at Bharath — slumped on the edge of the guest bed, head bowed, shoulders heavy with the weight he carried (or pretended to carry).

“Bharath,” she whispered.

He looked up — eyes red-rimmed, glycerin tears still glistening on his lashes.
Mirnaa patted the bed beside her.
“Sit here.”

Bharath moved slowly — deliberate, broken — and sat near her. 
Close enough that their thighs almost touched. 
The mattress dipped under his weight.

Mirnaa swallowed. Her voice was soft, trembling slightly.

“Bharath… we have been friends even for a few days. I know how good you are. Whatever bothers you — share it with us. If you feel me as a friend… then tell me. I will hear.”

Vikram’s voice came through the AirPod — calm, guiding.

“Well done, Mirnaa. Continue.”

Bharath looked at her — long, wounded gaze.
He started — voice low, cracking at the edges.

“I have been like this… ever since my family betrayed me. I consoled myself. I never allowed anyone near me.”
He paused — throat working.

“I had my kid. Though I’m not the biological father… I took care more than anyone. Whenever I’m down… I play with her. I hug her. That relaxes me.”

His voice dropped to a whisper.
“After they took her away from me…”

He choked — a crafted collapse — shoulders shaking, head dropping forward.
“Who’s there for me?”

Mirnaa’s heart clenched. She felt really bad — no words came at first.

Vikram’s voice — quiet in her ear:

“Pat his shoulder.”

Mirnaa hesitated — then slowly reached out. Her palm rested on his shoulder — warm, tentative. She patted gently.
“Mmm…” she murmured — just enough for Vikram to hear.

Vikram: “Take his hand. Tell him we are with you.”

Mirnaa slid her hand down — fingers brushing his — then took his hand in hers. She squeezed lightly.
“Just now I said, right? We are friends. We are with you.”
She looked at him — eyes soft, earnest.
“Why don’t you consider me…?”
She paused.

“See… I’m all ears. Tell me. Vent out your sorrows.”
Bharath looked at her — eyes watery (fresh glycerin drop timed perfectly).
He swallowed — visibly.
“I will,” he said.

He began — slow, broken.
“All started seven years back. 
I was deeply in love with Manya. Her father worked below my father. My father has a big empire running.”
Mirnaa listened — breath shallow.
“One day they got to know I was in love with her. They strategically split her from me. They didn’t stop there — they took her and made her father marry her off to someone from my father’s company.”
His voice cracked.

“I was broken. They didn’t leave me. They married me to someone richer. But she was already in love with someone… had a baby when she married me. I didn’t know. Months later I found out she was pregnant. I didn’t consummate my marriage with her because of Manya… I needed space. But this was outright insult.”

He paused — eyes distant.
“But ever since the kid was born… I happily took the role of father. The woman I married started liking me… but I was in no mood. The colleague started an affair with her. I saw them together. But they pinned it on me and the colleague’s wife. With betrayal I fought. I proved I was clean. But to revenge me… they took the kid.”

Mirnaa’s eyes filled — tears brimming.
Bharath continued — voice dropping.

“I escaped the issue… decided to start fresh. But soon another trouble loomed. When Manya’s husband got into accident — as it happened inside the company — she started believing I orchestrated it due to jealousy.”
He looked at Mirnaa — eyes pleading.

“Mirnaa… tell me… what will you do when your loved one says you did something… when you actually never did it?”

Mirnaa’s tears spilled over. She realized — there was so much common between Vikram and Bharath. Both betrayed. Both misunderstood. Both carrying invisible wounds.

What Mirna doesnt know is this is Bhrath's calculated game to make a similarities.

She softened completely.
Bharath had pulled another drop of glycerin when she looked away.
He whispered — voice breaking.

“And today… today… she called me a sex maniac.”
The tear dropped — heavy, slow.

Mirnaa gasped softly. “Acho… why are you crying, Bharath? It’s okay… it’s done. We know you.”

Vikram’s voice — calm, commanding:

“Hug him, Mirnaa.”

Mirnaa hesitated — only for a heartbeat.



Mirnaa wrapped her arms around his shoulders — warm, enveloping, her palms pressing flat against the back of his shirt. The lavender nighty rode up slightly as she leaned in, the thin cotton sliding against her thighs. She held him like she was cradling something fragile, something that might break if she let go too soon.


Bharath let himself sink into her.

His chin came to rest on the soft curve of her neck — the exact spot where her pulse fluttered beneath warm skin. He inhaled slowly, deliberately, drawing in the faint scent of her jasmine shampoo mixed with the clean, feminine warmth of her body. 

His arms slid around her waist — not tight, not possessive yet — just enough to feel the gentle dip above her hips, the subtle give of her flesh under his palms.

He pulled her closer — fraction by fraction — until the soft, heavy press of her breasts flattened against his chest. Through the thin fabric of her nighty, he could feel everything: the slight bounce as she breathed, the pebbled tips of her nipples hardening against him (whether from nerves or the sudden closeness, he didn’t care). The heat of her body seeped into his shirt, branding him.

Mirnaa didn’t notice.

She was lost in his story — in the pain he painted, in the tears still sliding down his cheeks (fresh glycerin drop timed perfectly). Her own eyes were wet, her breathing uneven with sympathy. She tightened her hold — one hand sliding up to cradle the back of his head, fingers threading gently through his hair. The other arm stayed locked around his shoulders, unconsciously pressing her chest even more firmly against him.

Bharath’s hands began to move — slow, almost imperceptible.

His right palm drifted lower — tracing the small of her back, following the natural inward curve just above her tailbone. His fingers splayed wide — warm, possessive — feeling the delicate ridge of her spine through the nighty. Then — bolder — his thumb brushed the side swell of her breast, a feather-light graze disguised as comfort.

Mirnaa didn’t flinch.
She was too deep in his words, in the choked “why no one sees the good in me,” in the sob that shook his shoulders against her. Her own sob hitched in response — soft, muffled against his neck.

Bharath’s left hand mirrored the movement — sliding up her side, stopping just under her armpit. His thumb circled once — slow, deliberate — brushing the underside curve of her breast. The nighty fabric was so thin he could feel the heat of her skin, the slight tremor as her nipple tightened further from the contact.

He closed his eyes — ecstasy flickering behind the glycerin tears.

Memories flooded back — the hospital room, months ago, her body falling forward during that accidental moment, her breast pressing full and warm against his face for those five endless seconds. The memory was vivid: the softness, the weight, the faint floral scent of her skin. Now it was happening again — slower, deliberate, under the guise of comfort.

His cock stirred — thickening against the inside of his thigh — but he kept his hips angled away. Control. Always control.

They remained still — her holding him, his head against her neck, her scent filling his lungs. His hands stayed where they were — one splayed on her lower back, the other resting just under the swell of her breast — thumbs making the tiniest, slowest circles.

Vikram — listening through the AirPod — heard only soft breathing, the rustle of fabric, the faint hitch of Mirnaa’s sob.
He didn’t know how close they were.
He didn’t know Bharath’s palms were mapping her body.
He didn’t know Bharath was smiling — slow, victorious — against her skin.

The hug lasted longer than either of them expected.
And Bharath drank in every second.

The stage was set.
And the performance was only beginning.
