The annual Malhotra Business Gala was the biggest event of the year — a lavish gathering at a five-star hotel ballroom attended by over 300 powerful guests: top clients, politicians, rival businessmen, underworld contacts, and media personalities. It was supposed to be a celebration of the family’s success in import-export and real estate. Instead, it became the night the Malhotra family’s dark secret was fully exposed to the world.

For days leading up to the event, the household lived in a state of high tension and constant depravity. Suresh had decided there was no point hiding anymore. The full family — Suresh, Sarla, Rohan, Vikram, Priya, and Meera — would participate in a “private after-party” for the most important guests. Priya and Meera were prepared like prize livestock.
