The next morning—
Aarav stood in his office, staring at the file in his hand.
His assistant spoke carefully.
"Sir… this is everything we found."
Aarav opened it.
Ananya Roy.
Current status: Single.
No remarriage.
Child: Ayaan Roy. Age: 5 years, 10 months.
His fingers tightened.
The timeline…
Matched perfectly.
His breathing grew heavy.
"Is there anything about the father?" Aarav asked.
The assistant shook his head.
"No records."
Silence.
Deafening silence.
Aarav slowly closed the file.
His mind screamed the truth he had been avoiding.
"Ayaan…" he whispered.
"…is my son."
His eyes darkened.
Decision. Determination.
Possession.
Without another second wasted, he grabbed his coat.
"Where are you going, sir?" the assistant asked.
Aarav's voice was cold. Final.
"To bring back what's mine."
