Chapter 278 - His trial is in few days…

Karthik, even though he was honest and patriotic at heart, he also had one major flaw. He loved Alisha beyond any reason.

So, when he saw her pull the trigger on the Prime Minister… instead of handing her to the authorities, he erased every last bit of trace of her.

He was the whole reason why there was not a single shred of physical evidence on the scene of the crime. And he also later let himself be framed without much resistance.

As time passed by, he still wanted to nail syndicate. After all, he thought he owed at least that much for Girish… that is why he brought Adithya on board for.

But Alisha, when she learned that Karthick was reaching out to people… she thought he was going to rat her out.

So, she made a deal with Abishek… she promised to destroy all and every evidence Adithya had along with taking his life in exchange for all the evidence against her and Karthick's permanent silence…

After that, she planned everything that went down with Adithya.

She kidnapped Shreya's mother and called Adithya to a remote location and shot both of them point-blank. She then stuffed both of them in Adithya's car and pushed it straight down the cliff to the point where the car crashed into scrap.

And the person who facilitated the deal with Alisha was actually Naren.

The others were reluctant. After all, Adithya had a lot of status in the country, and killing him and his wife... if things got out, they would all end up in a storm all over again like they were in when they took out the Prime Minister.

So, they wanted to make a deal with Karthick and let him get out of jail and cover up the whole thing.

But Naren was stubborn to do it this way and they accepted without much choice.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%E2%80%A6_51716668199588688">#%E2%80%A6_51716668199588688</a> for visiting.

"Alisha is as ruthless as it can get. She has no attachment to anything or anybody. She is someone who lives for the thrill of the chase through and through… that was why she accepted the two most high-profile jobs knowing the risks."

Do you have evidence to convict her for the crime?" Shreya asked.

Abishek shook his head… all the physical evidence was destroyed by Karthick and Alisha never made direct contact with any of them to actually create any circ.u.mstantial pieces of evidence.

Even money was given to her by cash… so no wire transfers to trace back.

On top of it, Alisha even changed her face to the point it was completely not recognizable.

Shreya took her time to think things through… She then gestured to Zack to take Abishek out of the room before she started giving instructions.

"Reach out to all our foreign contacts… I need to know what she had been up to all these years… and I want to know how she found out about us investigating Girish's case. For her to have planned something this elaborate and also call in her partner, she must have known about our investigation a long time before it was made public. Something does not add up there… Go back to her safe house and search it. Old habits die hard… she hadn't been to the country for long. She couldn't have found a secure location so fast. So, chances are she must be using her old places."

Shreya knew Alisha's computer skills should be extraordinary from the way she had blocked communications in and out of the island completely…

"Also, find out if anything had happened abroad when she was in the country. With her nature, she couldn't have stayed away and stopped herself from the life of crime. Also, go through Karthick's stuff again. Maybe he could have missed something…"

Shreya piled up instructions for another half an hour. When she stopped, everyone scattered out of the room.

Only Zack and Srinivas were left behind.

"Do you still want to keep Abishek around? His trial is in few days… The Minister is starting to get impatient. The only thing stopping him is the fact that he needs him alive!!" Zack asked as soon as the room quieted down after everyone's departure.

Shreya rubbed on her forehead before shaking and answering, "No… send him back. Make sure there are no mishaps when he reached the court. Ask our guys to be around until the trial is done… I don't trust them completely still."

When Zack saw that Shreya was done with her instructions, he frowned and asked, "There is no peace offering… after all, you practically snatched Abishek out of his custody which is technically still illegal, you know!!"

Shreya frowned…

"Just tell him I will sponsor his campaign for him next election. That should do…" But you can clearly guess her reluctance to do it.

After all, if the Minister had sent Abishek on his own volition, she wouldn't be so reluctant. But he refused her which did not sit well with Shreya. And her opinion on the Minister had plummeted multiple folds because of this one incident.

As far as she was concerned, a person who can take the lives of the public lightly for sake of a little bit of fame and power is not really worthy to be a leader of a country. But then, given her option, it was better off him than anyone else.

So, she just had to swallow the bitter pill.

Zack just chucked at her reluctance… after all, he knew Shreya did not like being denied even if it was from someone so much older and more experienced than her which put her in such a state. But he wisely did not comment and left the conference room.

"What do you want?" Shreya asked looking at Srinivas still standing there…

Srinivas rolled his eyes and said, "I drove you here… so, of course, I will take you back. Get your lazy ass off the chairs… Only, you and the ghosts will be roaming around the office if I leave you here…"
