"Yash was the only one who could have wanted to get into the servers!!" Shreya answered straight. "It was either him or the Chief of the intelligence bureau. But I figured even if it was the Chief, he should merely be following the meaning of Yash.."

"And nobody else would have leaked Abishek's location so brazenly." After all, he was a state witness.. leaking information like that is as good as signing goodbye to their careers. And they had vetted everyone involved in the case anyways. Nobody in there was immoral. They wouldn't have compromised on anything unless it was ordered.

Her eyes held a type of contempt when talking about Yash suddenly.

She hated guys like him hold the power the most.. They abuse their powers to control others to take part in their crimes. They cannot think about anything other than themselves. She first thought he would be perfect for the job she had in hand since it involved something so extravagant. And since all Yash cared about was his position, their purpose can meet for the short while.

But she failed to calculate his male ego!! And his greed for power.

Their common purpose stopped being of significance when she had trampled over him head-on when he asked for her information network. It had happened even before when she asked for Abishek's custody and brazenly took him out of his hands in spite of his resistance. But Yash thought he could gain something from it but when Shreya refused to budge, he couldn't control himself anymore.

And of course, the main problem was, he had no more use for her when it came to the case. All the evidence and people have been handed over and even the judgment would be out in a few days.

So, technically, he did serve their purpose quite perfectly. It is just, he brought up a whole lot of additional headaches to add to her.

And he got himself a sponsor because of this case.. businessmen who are morally bound supported him now because of his actions thinking he was pure and driven.

"He wanted to own the network?" Pritham asked shocked.

"Yes.. and since they approached Ram, he should have spilled his gut on the server room in dad's room!" Shreya asserted.

When Adithya was still around, the two people who he trusted the most were, of course, Anand and Ram. And he never had any reason to be defensive with them either. With Adithya's personality, if they both asked for anything at all, he would have given it to them.

Adithya did not believe in boundaries within the family.

So, Ram always knew about the server and even had access to it until he got kicked out of the company.

"If your guess is right, then Ram could not have warned them about the bomb since he never got to know about the additional measures you have installed in there after kicking him out!! He also shouldn't have known about the improvements you have made to the car.. so, both the information that came from him were just partially right!" Zack analyzed. But with that train of thought, another glaring detail also confirmed itself.

"And if I am right about this, then you are confined to the hospital because you are covering his ass!! Because, if you are 'dying'.. then he would be wrong on only one count and not two. Or else, he would be in a much worse state than just being an asshole." Zack added sighing.

"That is only one of the reasons.. I am not that generous. I just want to give him a chance to run away.. if he was smart that is. But more than that, I do not want to startle the prey just yet.." Shreya answered before going into an in-depth analysis of the whole situation.

"The problem is not that they have acted against me.. the problem is the timing. Acting on it now is not the wisest of decisions. Even though we are relaxed now, in a few days, we would have completely let out guard down. It would have been much easier to get to us then. Anyways, the server is not going anywhere nor am I!"

"And also, if all they want is to get into the server and take my life, they could have done it in a million other ways.. they needn't have involved Abishek in this.. especially, not his daughter."

"About that, those guys also confessed they were asked to keep her family detained for another three days!" Zack added in between.

"Well, that just confirms my suspicion. They are planning something for the court on Monday.. something big. And for achieving that, the biggest threat is, of course, me. Without me in the picture, they could manipulate the law as ever they want, especially if it was the Prime Minister's meaning. And the only person who has the means and guts to stand in the way of Yash is of course me. With me, out of the way, they can do pretty much shoot a freaking movie in the courtroom and nobody will be able to refute it. So, it was imperative to get me out of the picture. And the only way to do it going to be to take my life since I do not fear him nor listen to Yash. Also, he knows the consequences of doing something else dirty with me still breathing.. I made that very clear in our last conversation. Even if he finds a way to leverage me now, it wouldn't be able to hold me down forever. And as long as I am going to stand back up after he knocks me down, I will screw him over." Shreya said everything nonstop until now before taking a pause.

"And of course, Abishek can pose a threat. He is someone who had lost too much.. and he does not fear anything anymore. He does not care what happens to him. But then, he also has leverage. His family.. it would be easy to manipulate him once they get to her. And he has no power to defend himself now.. if I am out of the picture that is!" Shreya smirked as she said that.

"He should be daydreaming! Thinking he got you out of the way." Pritham couldn't help but sneer at that.

"I cannot wait to see his face when he comes to know you are okay, though!" Zack said. But there was an entertained and amused smile when he said that. Also, there was a touch of darkness in his eyes.
