“Yes, Misha, Kabir is right. You both need to go right now,” Panchi agreed, looking anxiously toward the main gates.
Suddenly, the loud, piercing screech of tires violently interrupted the courtyard’s chaos.
A sleek, jet-black luxury SUV aggressively pulled into the college grounds, halting with a dramatic jolt right in front of the fountain.
The heavy door swung open, and a tall, imposing man stepped out.
He was dressed impeccably in a sharp black suit, polished black shoes, and dark black sunglasses.
He exuded an aura of absolute power and wealth.
“Dad!” Misha cried out.
Abandoning her tough, angry facade, she sprinted toward the man.
She threw her arms around him, burying her face in his chest, and burst into helpless tears.
“Misha, my princess, what happened?” The man’s intimidating aura instantly melted into pure, protective concern.
He wrapped his arms around her.
“Why are you crying? Did something happen to you? Are you okay?”
“No, Dad… it’s Piya!” Misha sobbed, her voice trembling.
“Piya? Who is Piya?”
“She is my friend, Dad! Some cops just came and arrested her in a drug case! But she is not like that, Dad, she is so innocent! I swear someone is trying to trap her. She literally just arrived at this hostel yesterday—how is it even possible for her to do something like this?”
The man listened silently, his jaw tightening.
He gently cupped Misha’s face and wiped the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs.
“Okay, Misha, please calm down,” he said, his voice deep, calm, and carrying the heavy weight of unquestionable authority.
“If your friend is truly innocent, then you have nothing to fear. I am Ariv Singhaniya. And I promise you, my princess, I will free her from that cage. But first, you have to calm down. Okay?”
Misha sniffled, nodding her head as she leaned into her father’s comforting presence. Get faster updates on g.com.
Kabir stood a few feet away, watching the powerful Mr. Singhaniya with a newfound spark of hope.
The warden was right about one thing—Misha had serious family power, and now, that power was about to be unleashed to save Piya.
Mr. Singhaniya immediately pulled out his phone and dialed his head corporate attorney.
Turning to Panchi, he said firmly, “Panchi, stay here on campus and manage things. Keep an eye on those roommates.”
“Yes, Dad, don’t worry,” Panchi replied, standing her ground.
Mr. Singhaniya, Misha, and Kabir hurried into the sleek black SUV.
As the driver sped toward the police station, Mr. Singhaniya briefed his lawyer over the phone, explaining the entire setup and ordering him to reach the station instantly.
Meanwhile, inside a cold, dreary interrogation cell at the police station, Piya sat shivering on a metal bench.
The female officer slammed a heavy file onto the table, leaning down to stare Piya dead in the eye.
“Just accept it!” the lady cop growled, her tone menacing.
“If you don’t sign this confession right now, I’ll make sure you regret it. We have ways of making girls like you talk—and it won’t be pretty.”
“I… I didn’t do anything!” Piya wept, clutching her hands together tightly in her lap.
“I swear, I don’t even know what those drugs were!”
“Enough of your lying!” frustrated by her defiance, the female cop raised her hand high, aiming a harsh slap straight for Piya’s face.
“Don’t you dare touch my client!” a sharp, commanding voice boomed from the doorway.
The officer’s hand froze in mid-air.
A sharply dressed lawyer in a crisp suit walked in, holding a leather briefcase and looking entirely unfazed by the precinct surroundings.
“I am the attorney representing Miss Piya,” he declared smoothly, presenting his credentials.
The lead station officer sneered, standing up.
“Oh, I see. A big-city lawyer for a small-time addict.” He grumbled under his breath and stepped outside into the hallway with the attorney to review the paperwork. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
Piya sat completely bewildered, her eyes wide with confusion.
“A lawyer? But I don’t have a lawyer… I don’t even have money for court fees! Who sent him?”
Before she could process it, the cell door clattered open, and Misha burst inside!
“Piya!” Misha cried out, rushing straight over and pulling Piya into a tight, warm hug.
“Misha…!” Piya gasped, tears pouring down her cheeks as she held onto her friend for dear life.
“You stupid girl!” Misha scolded gently, breaking the hug and cupping Piya’s face.
“What did you think—that I would just leave you all alone in a place like this? And I already know why you were ignoring me this morning! It was because of that bitch Tina, wasn’t it? I know she must have said something disgusting to you to scare you off. But it’s okay… you don’t have to worry about anything anymore.”
“Misha, I didn’t do this! You have to believe me, please,” Piya sobbed, clutching Misha’s hands desperately.
“I have never even seen a drug in real life! How could I do something like this?””I know, Piya, I know,” Misha said gently, wiping the tears from Piya’s face.
“Don’t worry. That lawyer out there is extremely famous. I swear to you, he is going to free you from these completely false allegations right now.”
Piya’s chest heaved with a freshwave of panic.
“But Misha… I don’t have that kind of money! I can’t afford to pay a famous lawyer’s fees. How will I—”Smack!Misha gave Piya a light, scolding slap on the shoulder.
”Oh, shut up!” Misha scolded,though her eyes were full of warmth.
“Don’t you dare say that again, and please, stop taking so much tension. Dad is with us.”Piya blinked, her tears pausingfor a moment in pure confusion.
“Dad…?””Yes, my dad,” Misha smiledproudly, her fierce confidence returning.
“He is right outside. He is the one who sent that lawyer. And remember you are not just my friend you are like my second sister okay and by the way Dad is protecting all of us. You don’t have to worry about a single rupee.”
Before Piya could fully processthe fact that the intimidating, powerful Mr. Singhaniya was personally fighting for her freedom, the heavy metal door of the cell swung wide open.
