Time felt heavier that night. Inspector Anjana Rawat sat by the library fireplace, reviewing the blurred lines of truth and betrayal that had emerged in the last 72 hours. One man was dead. One woman was missing. And now, a confession hung in the air like smoke — Sandhya had admitted to watching Sushant die without stopping it. She had confessed to witnessing Ramprasad push him. But her silence was deliberate. Her motive? For once, to not be invisible. But something was still wrong. It didn’t all fit. Why had Neela disappeared on the same day the will came to light?

But I would never kill anyone!” Anjana stepped forward. “Then explain the letters, Neela. Letters from a man named Vivek, warning you about Sushant.” Neela dropped her head.
