Chapter 11: The Last Confession
the air was thick with tension, the echoes of battle fading into silence. The syndicate had crumbled, their network shattered. And yet, in the heart of it all, Aarav remained. He stood before Maya, Rohan, and Priya—no longer a ghost, no longer an untouchable force. He was here, unarmed, waiting. Maya’s grip tightened around her weapon. "No more games. No more escapes. Tell me why you left. "Aarav studied her, his expression unreadable. Then, with a slow, measured exhale, he spoke. "I left because I had to," he said, voice steady. "the agency had send me to a mission in a different country for a longtime and had to go in exile for a month to keep myself safe "Maya’s pulse quickened. "You could have told me” Aarav’s gaze didn’t waver. . That the agency, the syndicate, told me they were sending you to a different country . And told me not to tell anyone Rohan scoffed. "So you abandoned her for some mission ?"Aarav shook his head. "No. I abandoned her because the company told me. "Maya’s breath hitched. His words felt too deliberate, too carefully chosen."so is it true that you are the son of the mafia Mr Henderson,”? Aarav nodded. "yes , he is my foster father but I was never intrested in his empire ,he forced me to ignore you but I rejected and left him with no sign of me returing Priya stepped forward, her voice softer. And what about seeing maya as a cover?For the first time, Aarav hesitated.Then, quietly, he said, "I had to in our first mission the agency said that she as my cover so I believed them."Then, quietly, he said, "Now, you decide."Maya stared at him, torn between fury and understanding, between the past and the future.Aarav had orchestrated everything—his disappearance, his betrayal, the game that had led them here. But had it truly been deception, or had it been something else?A test. A lesson. A warning.Maya lifted her weapon slightly, feeling its weight.And in that moment, she knew—this wasn’t just about him anymore.It was about what came next.What did she believe?What would she choose?Aarav waited, the ghost who had never truly left.
