01:47 AM – Unknown Airspace
The private jet cut through the dark clouds like a silent predator.
Inside the dimly lit cabin, Sovereign stood near the window, watching the endless darkness outside.
Behind him, Meera Vashisht studied multiple holographic screens displaying hospital surveillance footage.
Srikant.
Rudra Sen.
Sasmita.
Every move had been recorded.
Meera finally broke the silence.
"Your test failed."
Sovereign smiled faintly.
"No."
"It succeeded."
She raised an eyebrow.
"We confirmed something important tonight."
His cold eyes returned to the screen.
"Srikant's strength is not power."
"It's her."
The image zoomed in on Sasmita standing beside Srikant on the hospital rooftop.
Meera understood immediately.
"You want her removed."
"Not yet," Sovereign replied calmly.
"First we isolate her."
02:30 AM – Estate War Room
Back at the estate headquarters, tension still hung heavily in the air.
The large digital screen displayed a global map filled with flashing red indicators.
Financial warnings.
Legal alerts.
Intelligence signals.
Rudra leaned against the table.
"They're moving faster than expected."
Srikant remained calm.
"They planned this long before tonight."
Sasmita looked at the screen showing the arrest warrant draft.
"If this becomes official…"
"Your assets freeze," she finished.
Rudra nodded.
"Your network collapses."
Srikant finally spoke.
"Not if we expose the source first."
He tapped the screen.
The document expanded.
Encrypted metadata appeared.
Origin server location…
Geneva.
Rudra's eyes narrowed.
"Interpol political manipulation."
"Exactly," Srikant replied.
"They're turning the world's legal system into a weapon."
03:10 AM – Axis Control Room
Somewhere far away, hidden beneath layers of encrypted networks, the Axis control room operated silently.
Rows of analysts monitored global intelligence feeds.
One of them spoke.
"Sir, Srikant's team is tracing the warrant origin."
Sovereign didn't look worried.
"Let them."
Meera glanced at him.
"You expected this."
"Of course."
He turned toward her.
"Operation Anchor begins now."
She typed a command.
Immediately several encrypted messages were sent across different continents.
Sleeper agents activated.
Targets updated.
Primary target:
Sasmita.
09:00 AM – Next Morning
The world woke up to chaos.
News channels exploded with a shocking headline:
"GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRIMINAL EXPOSED."
Srikant's photo appeared everywhere.
Multiple governments had allegedly issued investigation notices.
Stock markets linked to his companies began falling rapidly.
Inside the estate war room, alarms started flashing.
Rudra cursed under his breath.
"They launched the legal attack already."
Sasmita turned to Srikant.
"You said we had time."
"We do," he replied calmly.
"But they're forcing us to move faster."
Suddenly another alert appeared.
Security breach attempt.
Location—
Sasmita's apartment.
Everyone froze.
Rudra immediately activated security protocols.
"They're trying to kidnap her."
Srikant's voice became ice cold.
"No."
"They're trying to scare us."
He turned to Sasmita.
"You stay here."
She shook her head instantly.
"I'm not hiding."
Srikant stared at her for a moment.
Then slowly nodded.
"Good."
"Because we're about to start the real war."
Meanwhile…
Inside a moving black van somewhere in the city…
Three Axis operatives checked weapons and surveillance photos.
The leader spoke quietly.
"Remember the order."
"Target is not to be harmed."
"Just captured."
One of the operatives asked,
"What if Srikant intervenes?"
The leader smiled.
"Then we trigger phase two."
"What's phase two?"
The leader looked at the photo of Sasmita.
"Emotional collapse."
Final Scene
Back at the estate.
Srikant stood alone near the window.
Rudra approached him quietly.
"You know this won't stop."
Srikant nodded.
"I know."
Rudra asked one final question.
"If they take her…"
Srikant's eyes turned dangerously calm.
"Then Axis won't exist anymore."
Far away in the sky, Sovereign's private jet disappeared into the clouds.
He whispered softly,
"Let's see how far love can survive a war."
