The night wrapped the city in its dark embrace. Raindrops splashed on the streets, sparkling as if secrets had been scattered across every corner. In a small, dimly lit apartment, Arav Malhotra faced the biggest defeat of his life.
Arav was an ambitious, charming young man who had always believed he could carve his path to greatness. Since childhood, he had built castles in the sky—dreams of becoming powerful, running his own company, and tasting every luxury life could offer. But tonight, everything had slipped through his fingers.
"How did it come to this?" he asked himself, tears in his eyes, fire in his heart.
The truth was cruel. His most trusted friend, Nikhil, who had been by his side in business for years, had betrayed him. All their investments, all the hard work, vanished overnight. The bank sent notices, and now even the law was breathing down his neck.
That night, for the first time, Arav felt the weight of the world on his shoulders, the crushing reality of responsibility and loss.
The next day, he stood at the police station like any ordinary man. But no one could see the storm raging inside him. This was his first step toward prison, where he would face not just the law but his own fears and heartbreak.
On his first morning inside, Arav saw every inmate's face telling a different story—some fierce and unrelenting, some broken and sorrowful, and a few with a spark of hope still alive in their eyes.
Inside his cell, surrounded by cold concrete and thin streams of sunlight from the barred windows, Arav made a silent vow: "I will not give up. This is only the beginning."
It was here that he realized the true cost of trust and love. His heart still clung to memories of Anika, his first love, whom he had left behind chasing his career dreams.
The walls and darkness of the prison didn't scare him—they lit a fire within. He thought, "One day, I will return… and I won't just be rich. I will be unstoppable."
Episode 1 ends on that spark of hope and fire in Arav's heart. It marked the beginning of his journey to reclaim his dreams—a journey filled with love, betrayal, and the game of power that would make him stronger than ever.
