Chapter 1: The Whispered Plan

In the heart of a bustling, modern city, beneath the glimmer of neon lights and the hum of traffic, Kiran Sharma sat in his dimly lit apartment, his mind a storm of conflicting thoughts. A brilliant but disillusioned software engineer, Kiran had recently lost his job and was drowning in debt. His once-promising future now seemed a cruel joke. Desperation gnawed at him, whispering dark possibilities into his ear.

Kiran’s gaze fell upon a crumpled piece of paper on his cluttered desk — an eviction notice. The thought of being thrown out onto the streets twisted his insides. His mind raced until it fixated on a single, desperate idea.

Rajesh Bhatnagar, a wealthy, unscrupulous businessman, was known for hoarding money and exploiting the vulnerable. To Kiran, Rajesh represented everything wrong with the world — a man who used his power to crush others. As Kiran’s thoughts spiraled, an idea began to take shape: If he could steal from Rajesh, it would be a way to reset his life, perhaps even a twisted form of justice.

When reason fails, the devil helps!
