Aw, you're too sweet! 😄 Glad you loved it—I'll just be over here pretending I’m a master of epilogues. 😉
Bonus
Time: 3:45 AM
Location: An Isolated Villa on the Outskirts of Mumbai
The air was thick with tension, the kind that coils around your lungs and makes every breath feel heavier. The ETF team had surrounded the villa, their weapons ready, their eyes scanning every shadow. This was it. The final move.
Inside the villa, the mastermind sat at his desk, completely unaware.
A man who had played everyone—business tycoon Vikram Malhotra.
Respected by the elite. Untouchable in the public eye. The real puppeteer behind the kidnapping at the wedding.
He leaned back in his chair, swirling a glass of whiskey, his smirk confident. "Khanna must have talked by now," he murmured, exhaling deeply. "Shame. He was useful."
A deep voice cut through the air, sharp and lethal.
"Tumhe sirf apne mohro ki fikar hai, na Malhotra?"
Vikram froze.
The glass slipped from his hand, shattering against the wooden floor.
Arjun stepped out of the shadows, his gun trained on Vikram’s chest.
His presence filled the room with something dark, something that promised destruction.
Behind him, Riya, Rathore, and the rest of the team entered, weapons raised.
Vikram swallowed, but his expression quickly shifted to amusement. "ACP Arjun Rawte," he chuckled, straightening in his seat. "Finally, milne ka mauka mila. Kya kahun? Tumse milne ka hamesha se shauk tha."
Arjun’s jaw flexed, but his voice remained calm, cold, lethal.
"Mujhse milna ek cheez hai, Malhotra. Mujhse bachna doosri."
Vikram smirked, leaning forward. "Aur agar main bach gaya toh?"
Arjun’s gaze darkened. "Toh khud ko zinda samajhne ki galti mat karna."
A flicker of hesitation crossed Vikram’s face, but it was gone in an instant. "Tum samajhte ho, ACP, ke tumne game jeet liya hai?" He stood up slowly. "Lekin mujhe giraane ke liye sirf ek bayan kaafi nahi hoga."
Riya took a step forward, her silver lehenga shimmering under the dim lights, but there was nothing soft about her stance. She was fire.
"Hume sirf bayan nahi mila, Malhotra."
She tossed a pen drive onto his desk.
"Tumhare saare black money transactions, illegal activities, aur Shireen ki kidnapping ka proof ismein hai."
Vikram’s smirk wavered.
Arjun continued, voice unwavering. "Tumhare private meetings, tumhare phone records, aur tumhare saare aadmiyon ke statements—sab kuch hamare paas hai."
Vikram’s fingers curled into fists.
"Game over," Arjun finished.
For the first time, Vikram’s confidence cracked. His eyes darted toward his drawer—where he kept a hidden gun.
But before he could move—
A loud gunshot rang out.
The bullet pierced the desk—a fraction away from Vikram’s hand.
Riya lowered her smoking gun, eyes flashing dangerously. "Galti mat karna."
Vikram exhaled sharply, his face pale.
Arjun smirked. "Aur haan, ek aur surprise hai."
The door behind them opened, and DIG Dustin Coelho entered.
His authoritative presence made Vikram stiffen.
Coelho crossed his arms. "Vikram Malhotra, tumhaari kahani yahin khatam hoti hai."
Rathore stepped forward, slapping handcuffs onto Vikram’s wrists. "Tumhe apne jaise corrupt logon ke saath rehne ka bohot shauk hai na? Ab jail mein enjoy karo."
As they dragged him out, Vikram struggled. "Tum log mujhe nahi gira sakte! Mujhe jail bhejna asaan nahi hoga!"
Arjun leaned in, voice deadly soft. "Tujhe jail bhejna nahi hai, Malhotra… tujhe barbaad karna hai."
Vikram’s face drained of color.
The ETF team had won.
***
The case was closed. Justice had been served.
As the team gathered in the conference room, exhaustion mixed with satisfaction. Rathore gave a rare smile. "Aaj tum sabne bohot accha kaam kiya."
Shree stretched, yawning. "Agar ek coffee mil jaaye, toh aur accha lagega."
Chotu chuckled. "Mujhe toh bas sone ka mann kar raha hai."
Arjun leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his usual brooding expression in place.
Riya walked up to him, tilting her head. "Kya soch rahe hain, sir?"
He glanced at her, voice low. "Yeh sirf ek case nahi tha. Yeh sirf shuruaat thi."
She held his gaze. "Aur hum ready hain, sir."
His lips quirked slightly. "Pata hai."
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Just a quiet understanding.
Then, as she turned to walk away, his fingers brushed against hers—fleeting, deliberate.
A touch that lingered. A fire that refused to die.
And as the first light of dawn seeped through the windows of the ETF office, one thing was certain—
This was far from the end.
~The End~
The cycle of corruption has to end
Peep who peddle drugs , traffic women and children need to be punished to death
Are ye toh khatam ho gaya
but doesn't look like the story is over, just the chapter
I smell a new beginning
This one was fun, thrill and suspense with the dash of Ariya

Wow what an end 👏
Ariya was on fire 🔥
The last scene was 😭
Thanks for the pm 🙂
Finally, justice has been served. What a wonderful bonus update!
And that final moment between Ariya - simple yet profound - beautifully highlighted their deep connection and unspoken emotions, beyond the need for words.

Agreed! 🚫 It’s time to put the “end” in “endless cycle” and give these villains a one-way ticket to justice—no return trips allowed! 😌
Thanks for reading!
