Kiara's POV
Kiara stepped out onto the balcony with a stack of papers.
Mahati looked up from her laptop.
"What are you doing?"
"Thinking."
Mahati glanced at the papers.
"That looks dangerous."
Kiara ignored the comment and leaned a large wooden board against the wall.
Mahati stared.
"Is that a detective board?"
"Yes."
Mahati sighed dramatically.
"You've officially lost it."
Kiara grabbed a marker.
"Maybe."
She pinned the first photo to the board.
Rajveer.
Her father.
Mahati's expression became serious.
"This is where everything starts," Kiara said quietly.
Mahati nodded.
Next photo.
Aarushi's accident.
Then another name.
Vishwa.
Mahati leaned closer.
"You think the hacker is connected to your father's death?"
"I don't know yet," Kiara admitted.
"But nothing about this situation feels normal."
Mahati drew a red line from Rajveer's photo.
"Your father was poisoned."
Another line.
"Aarushi was almost killed."
Kiara stared at the connections forming on the board.
"Someone doesn't want us finding something," Mahati said slowly.
Kiara thought about Aarushi's words.
He felt familiar.
Kiara shook her head.
No.
That was just the concussion talking.
Still…
She wrote one more word on the board.
BIKER
Mahati raised an eyebrow.
"Any clues about him?"
Kiara hesitated.
"Aarushi said she recognized his eyes."
Mahati looked interested.
"And?"
Kiara shrugged.
"She thinks he used to be around us when we were kids."
Mahati leaned forward.
"That's important."
Kiara shook her head.
"No. That's a concussion."
Mahati wasn't convinced.
But Kiara refused to believe the accident involved someone from their childhood.
Because if Aarushi was right…
Then this mystery had started years ago.
Long before the accident.
Long before the hacker.
Long before Rajveer died.
Kiara stared at the investigation board.
The accident.
Her father's death.
The hacker.
And the mysterious biker.
All the threads were slowly tying together.
But somewhere in the darkness, someone was already watching them solve the puzzle.
Waiting.
For the moment they got too close to the truth.
