The Loyalty Auditor
Arjun Malhotra didn’t trust easily. At 35, with a tech fortune built on selling other people’s data, he treated human loyalty like buggy code—meant to be stress-tested until it crashed. “Everyone has a price,” he’d smirk over single malt, “I just accelerate the negotiation.”
His first victim was his college roommate, Sameer. Arjun faked a terminal diagnosis via a forged doctor’s report and a rented hospital bed. “Bro, I need you to handle my funeral and look after my sister,” he whispered weakly. Sameer cried, promised the moon, then vanished for three weeks. When Arjun “recovered” and confronted him, Sameer laughed, “Bhai, life goes on. I have my own family.” Arjun crossed him off the list and billed him for the hospital props.
Then came girlfriend Riya—beautiful, ambitious, and vocal about “forever.” Arjun staged a total financial collapse: leaked fake bankruptcy papers, emptied their joint accounts publicly, and moved into a one-room PG. He watched from hidden cameras as Riya packed designer bags within 48 hours. “I can’t do broke, Arjun. Find me when you’re back on top,” she texted from her new guy’s Mercedes. He transferred her one final sarcastic lakh with the note: “Thanks for the field test.”
His own brother wasn’t spared. Arjun planted evidence that he’d slept with his sister-in-law—staged photos, planted lingerie, even a fake voice note. The family exploded. His brother nearly beat him, mother disowned him temporarily. When Arjun revealed the truth at a dramatic dinner, saying “Just checking if blood is thicker,” his brother replied coldly, “Blood is, but respect isn’t. Stay away.” Another tick in the failure column.
At work, Arjun tested his loyal PA, Neha, who’d been with him seven years. He accused her of stealing confidential files and leaking to rivals, complete with planted evidence and a police complaint. She cried in the station, lost her reputation, and quit. Months later she won a defamation case against him. Arjun paid quietly, almost proud. “At least one person fought back.”
The ultimate test was his mother. He told her he was joining a dangerous cult and needed her to sign over property “for the greater cause.” The old lady, who’d sacrificed everything for him, slapped him hard and said, “I raised a son, not a paranoid demon.” That one actually stung.
By his 36th birthday, Arjun sat alone in his restored penthouse surrounded by empty loyalty reports. No friends. No family. No love. His empire ran smoothly but felt hollow. He had proven his theory brilliantly: everyone breaks under pressure. The problem? He had broken every bridge to prove it.
One rainy evening, an old school friend dropped by unannounced—not for money, not for favors, just chai and old stories. Arjun instinctively reached for another test scenario in his mind… then stopped. For the first time, he let someone stay without verification. Maybe loyalty isn’t proven by destruction. Maybe it’s proven by not needing to test it at all.
But old habits die hard. He still kept the hidden cameras on. Just in case.#HashtagSummary
