The Last Enforcer and a Final Sacrifice

The air in the quiet corner of the city was thick with a tension that felt as ancient and as heavy as the weight of a thousand secrets. The man, a silent, powerful force of a family's shame, stood before them, his face a mask of cold, unyielding rage. Anika and Vikram, a united front against a world of deceit and betrayal, were trapped, their hearts a frantic drumbeat of a new, terrifying reality. The man, whose name was Deva, was not a ghost; he was a man. A man who had been a silent, terrifying witness to a family's shame, a man who had carried a great and terrible secret for a lifetime, a man who was now, finally, ready to make himself known.
