The Guilty Ones

Prologue

Arnav Singh Raizada, short for ASR is a person no one wants to have an issue with. Arnav's biological parents died when he was 6 years old. His father had cancer and he died of that. Unfortunately, his mother died a few months after his father's death because she met with an accident. Arnav was the eldest in his family.

However, according to his father's will, Arnav and his younger brother who was only 3 years old when they lost their parents were put into the foster care system. Unfortunately, both brothers were separated while the transfer.

Arnav was always a short-tempered kid. He changed from foster home to foster home until he ran away when he was 8 years old.

Anand Singh Raizada was one of the top drug dealers in Northern Mumbai. He saw potential in Arnav when he saw the kid who tried to make a living out of selling black-market movie tickets. Anand took Arnav under his wings. Anand was never married or had kids. However, his destroying health made him realise he needed someone he can trust to hand over the business and Arnav was his choice.

Arnav never forgot about his parents while generating a wave of anger towards them for leaving them as kids. Especially he was angry at his mother and blamed her for his situation.  He hardly remembered his brother and had no idea whereabouts of his brother. Anand was the closest to a father he ever had. 

However, Anand was not a soft loveable person. At the age where normal kids play with toys, Arnav played with guns and bullets. He was a bright kid at school. Therefore, as soon as he finished high school Anand sent him to one of the prestigious colleges in London for his higher education.

Arnav had Singh Raizada behind his name and Anand did not want Arnav to end up like him. Anand had money, power and everything a man can think of. But no matter what he achieved, he would always be reminded of an illiterate person who used a fingerprint as his signature. He did not want any more Raizada to go through that torture. Therefore, he gave the best education to Arnav.

Arnav returned to India when he was 21 years old only to find out Anand is in his last stage. Arnav stood by Anand day and night until his last breath. Soon after Anand's death, Arnav took hold of the business. He put a complete stop to drug dealing and took the business to another height by getting into the international weapons dealing business.

Now he is 28 years old and is the third-best supplier of weapons to mafia gangs all around the world. His net worth is not something someone can imagine.

The most important fact is he does not tolerate mistakes and lies. No one knows what punishment Arnav Singh Raizada gives to people who make mistakes or lie to him but everyone knew it is not something they would want to know.

Khushi Gupta is a 26-year Secret service agent. She lost her parents when she was 12 years old. They were a small happy family. She was the only child and they were well off. She never knew what her father did for a living but he always had money. Her mother was a housewife.

She did her initial schooling in a private school. But ever since her parents died, childcare services sent her to an orphanage. Since she was 12 years plus and almost a teenager no one wanted to adopt her. Everyone knew taking a teenager in meant calling for trouble.

She never understood the facts behind her parent's death. Her mother and father went to an office dinner party that night leaving her with a babysitter. By midnight couple of Police officers came, arrested the babysitter and informed Khushi that her parents were killed in a fire that took place at the party venue. To date, she couldn't find any news or articles about this so-called fire.

However, a few of the paperwork she found in her belongings led her to believe that her father used to be the accountant for a man called Anand Singh Raizada. Since she never had a chance to go back to their previous home or no one gave her any of her other belongings, she was left with assumptions without any proof.

Khushi never knew what happened to their old home. Once she was out of the orphanage she went to her old house to see the building was demolished and transferred to a cafe.

She met Akash at the orphanage and both of them instantly started liking each other and shared a sibling bond. Unfortunately, Akash got adopted and Khushi was left alone once again. She was a straight-A student at school and got a scholarship for her higher studies at Mumbai University where she met Akash once again.

Ever since they became good friends and Akash was the brother she never had. They both shared the same dream of becoming secret agents. Khushi, because she wanted to get her revenge on Arnav for what his father did to her parents. Akash, because he wanted to find his long-lost brother.
