(September 1945, After the end of World War 2.)

The whole world had their eyes plastered on the defeat of the axis power and the cruelty this war have brought in. It was claimed that the era of darkness is finally coming to end now and a new phase of the world is starting.

In this new phase, many colonial countries were taking advantage of the post-war period and started fighting for their independence from the colonial powers. India was among those countries.

'Under the British rule, Indians felt as if they were on the lands of Great Britain, and not on their own land, The Golden Bird India. They were caged in their own country.'

(Location- Somewhere in Bombay city, Bombay Presidency or Bombay Province.)

More than 100 people gathered in the secret hideout gambling centre. No one knew about this place expect Indians who love to gamble who were mostly government workers, working for the Britishers.

It was normal sunday evening when they all decided gamble like every other day without getting caught by the British officers who were roaming on the streets to keep an eye on the citizens of this city, to be precise, on Indians.

They were successful from getting away from the eyes of Britishers as always but little did they knew, that they couldn't escape from the eyes of that one person.

As the officers left the spot and no one was guarding the region, that one person took the opportunity, eyes his men to take their position and fired up the whole place.

Before the officers can return after hearing the gunshots, they all fled away from there killing all 130 people who were Indians but worked for Britishers.

When the news slapped the ego of the viceroy, he ordered his troops to search for those 20 people who were capable to kill 130 people working for them.

But he didn't acted impulsive as knew this was to anger the Indians. After this news will reach till Delhi, wild spread protests are inevitable so instead of searching for them openly, he issued a command to search for them in a secretive way.

This all was done to anger and hurt Indian sentiments so that their nationalist movements can gain momentum with the spark of this incident.

But before it can reach to the ears of Indians, it was submerged down by the Britishers. Little did the Britishers knew, that no matter how much they try to curb them, they will get more violent as the time passes.

"They think our only motive is India's independence. They aren't wrong but little did they know, that in his to-do list, India's independence is just another wish he wants to see it coming true. He has more destructive plans coming up after this jail gets free."

This how the first generation of Ravin looked like.

(1970, 23 years after India's independence, Bombay city, Maharashtra State.)

That one man who lead the men and attacked that gambling centre and god knows how many more places was attacked by him, now was the owner of lakhs and crores of rupees.

Not only that, he was also the owner of the dangerous gang ever to exist in India, Ravin's founder and the one and only chairman. The whole city was under his control and he ruled people's hearts by drowning them in the sea of fear.

He got everything he wanted, but one wish in his to-do list wasn't fullfilled and that was wish for a son. He got blessed by 3 daughter but no son who can take over this empire.

He could easily kill his daughters but he couldn't let his one mistake make this whole empire fall down. His enemies are waiting for it and as a good enemy, he can't let their wishes came true.

So he trained his all three daughters in such way that in the future, they will be capable of taking over the whole empire. He trained them not as daughters, but as sons.

His first two daughters were his twins yet they both were very different from each other. The older one among both of them, wasn't very interested in handling this business and was just getting trained to make her father happy but her twin, was very ambitious and was sure that her father will give her his empire in the end.

The youngest who was born after the twins, gave a proper fight to her 2nd sister as they both carried the dreams to be queen of Ravin empire. They both couldn't stand looking at each other, not even for a second but had one thing in common, they both loved their older sister.

One reason of loving her, was that she wasn't interested in this fight for the empire and other one reason among the thousand reasons, was that she was a carbon copy of their mother who died in an unknown incident 3 years ago. She gave out motherly vibes which the both sisters were craving for.

The older one loved her two younger sister just like their mom and gave them all her attention, care and love. Rather than business, she was more interested in law but never told her father about it. How can she tell him when her father is the owner of the dangerous gang in india, the gang which doesn't even follows 'a' of the law.

Little did the three sisters, that their father will name the whole empire after his older daughter in his will which will ignite the fire of hate in other two sisters, starting the worst fight Ravin gang have ever seen.

If the 2nd generation of Ravin was already this worse, then the elders got chills when they thought about how the 3rd generation of Ravin will look like.

(Present day.)

"Kairav, I am not getting my and Vidhika's case here. We were victims too."

I have to really stop myself from whining as I kept on reading and reading for 3 hours continuously but didn't got a single clue of the 2009 case.

'We were victims too, but why didn't she write our case in this chip. Why didn't she wrote our replaced name like she did for others...? Is she trying to highlight something by not writing our case...? If that's the case, then what is she trying to tell me...?'

I was thinking as my mind was blabbing and pushing forward each and every possibility, making me analysis all of them.

"I also think that she is trying to highlight something and I have my own theories on this. Which I can't tell you."

He added that last sentence when I looked at him with my confused eyes which clearly told him to elaborate what he meant by that but he sidelined it making me roll my eyes.

"Why soo secretive...?"

He just shrugged and moved away while I continued read the information of the victims of the next folder, 2010-MVC.

One thing I noticed that which every victim had in common, was that they were really very brave. And because of their bravery, when they got involved standing against the wrong, they become victims.

Now the question arise, whom I have offended that they literally kidnapped us both...? I, surely have offended many but what about Vidhika, why she will offend someone and whom...? The Vidhika I knew 11 years ago, wasn't that brave as she is now. Hell, she even couldn't raise her voice on someone so why they kidnapped her...? What was the reason...?

For one minute, I really thought that our case and the current case are two different cases with no lines intersecting them but when I closed the 2010 folder and jumped to the 2020-MVC folder.

"Case No- 202012****

Date- 08th August 2020.

Victim- Miss. Vidhika Sharma, the youngest daughter of Sharma Family.

Age- 17

Birth Date- 01/**/2000

Description- Vidhika Sharma with her family, registered the case of rape on the morning of 7 pm and their case was passed to Lawyer Meenakshi Narsule.

On the morning of 9th August, when Lawyer Narsule and her secretary who is also Vidhika's older sister, Miss. Adhya Sharma went to meet Miss. Vidhika's best friend, Miss. Darsha Kumar. Before they meet, Miss. Darsha was attacked by the acid. Thus, she became a victim of acid attack."

After this paragraph, nothing was written and left halfway. I think that she left it halfway considering that the case is ongoing. What caught my attention wasn't the incomplete report, but the names.

The replaced names were too suspicious and misleading. Why she used such misleading names which can lead to pure confusion, I don't know but one thing is for sure, she is trying to give me a hint by doing this. Now the question is, what she is hinting...?

I was lost in my own thoughts as I got up from the chair and starting walking in circles. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Kairav asked me something.

"I forgot to ask you. This work surely is of a gang. Whom do you suspect from the leads you got...?"

He asked as I stopped walking after hearing his question and stood straight. I turned my body to look at him who was already looking at me while sitting on the bed with tons of documents and papers surrounding him.

"Leads are pointing towards the once very dangerous gang to ever exist in India, Ravin Empire."

I saw he got stiff and suddenly his curious state went into cold mode. His eyes clearly showed how much in panic is he even when his face remained unchanged.

With a sudden click in my mind which widened my eyes, I quickly walked towards Kairav whose body was looking like it freezing as multiple beads of sweat started dancing and made their way down.

Now his face can be seen changing from his cold expressions to panic one as I kept looking at his expression changes. This changes which was taking place, pointed out to one theory of mine which I made when he once told me that his mother's family is very dangerous.

"Don't tell me!! You are the descendant of Ravin Family...!?!"
