He had somehow managed to leave Singoor. But he did not recall whom he had given the Goddess Shakti statue to.

He knew he would eventually remember, so he stayed away from Singoor and continued to wreak destruction. He killed the important heirs and stole children from Singoor to build an army of his own.

He even got his brother killed.

He didn’t always hate Bhairav. Even though they were not close due to their difference in nature, they still held affection for each other. They often drew the ire of their father because Bhairav was a rebel who wanted to bring change to the age-old Kabali customs while he was a dreamer and poet, which his father hated. The only thing their father appreciated about them was that Bhairav and he were the best warriors among the Kabali clan.

It was only when Bhairav was announced as the head of the Kabali clan that his hatred towards his younger brother began. Bhairav became yet another heir to lose his life.

He got Bhairav and his family killed just to get the Kabali clan to go to war with the Thakvars.

He had hoped to show up, rescue Nandini from the wrath of his people, and win her over.

Bring peace to the region, take control of the oil, and have the woman of his dream love him like he loved her.

But that dream shattered when Nandini got killed due to a woman’s jealousy. Rajeshwari Kanwar loved him. He had used her love to get closer to Nandini. But he didn’t expect the woman to be the cause of her best friend’s death.

It wasn’t until recently that he found out that Rajeshwari Kanwar had convinced Nandini to be in the car that would meet with an accident.

For decades, he remained in pain and stayed away from Singoor. His men operated things for him.

But just two years ago, his team came with shocking news. Mihir Thakvar, who was considered the last of the powerful heirs, had biological children. Mihir Thakvar had hidden them far away.

He was going to kill the Thakvar heirs and claim the oil wells and Singoor. While he was destroying them, he also discovered that there was another Thakvar heir who hadn’t come to Singoor.

When he found out who it was, a new sense of purpose began.

It was Nandini Thakvar.

His tigress had been born again.

“I knew you would come back for me,” he said softly, looking at Nandini’s face.

He brought her to Singoor to marry her, but his nephew stole her away.

Bhairav’s son will be dead soon.

“Sir,” the low voice of his security head brought him out of his thoughts of the past.

Dragging his eyes away from Nandini’s beautiful face, he looked at the security head.

“The team has arrived, sir.”

Tantra nodded. His face held no emotion even as he rejoiced on the inside.

“A warrior never shows emotion.”

They were his father’s words. His father had often chastised him for being too soft.

Pushing away thoughts of his father, he went to another tent.

His heart raced in anticipation.

“Sir, should we remove the packaging?”

“Yes.”

As instructed by him earlier, the team had brought the precious package he had been waiting for all day, all evening, all his life.
