The morning after Ishita's triumphant album launch, the entertainment world was still buzzing. Fans, reporters, and social media channels couldn't stop talking about her performance. But one post caused more chaos than the rest: Ishita's official social media account.
"To all my fans, I want to share a secret. The seven songs of my album… the melodies, the lyrics… were written by Kael Miro. And he wrote them only for me. I'm so grateful to him for trusting me with his music."
Immediately, the post went viral. Headlines screamed, "Who is Kael Miro? The Shadow Genius Behind Ishita's Songs!" and "Ishita Reveals Secret Songwriter—Fans Shocked!"
But the story didn't end there. Within hours, Mukul logged into Kael Miro's official account—careful to remain hidden behind the shadows he loved. He typed a post carefully, addressing the buzzing world.
"Yes, I wrote the songs for Ishita Desai. I admire her voice, her dedication, and her soul in music. But fame is not for me. I prefer to work in the shadows. Please respect my wish and do not try to find me. I live simply, and I like it that way. My work will always speak for itself."
The post instantly spread across social media, news outlets, and music forums. Fans were amazed. Critics were stunned. The few who tried to dig into Kael Miro's identity were blocked by Mukul's carefully designed digital barriers. Within hours, the entire entertainment industry realised this was no ordinary musician—they were chasing a ghost.
Meanwhile, powerful agencies, producers, and event managers began reaching out to Ishita, hoping to meet Kael Miro or at least get a collaboration. VIP requests, private messages, and formal proposals flooded her inbox. Ishita read every single one but smiled quietly. She knew the truth. Mukul was Kael Miro, and he had chosen to remain invisible for a reason.
During this period, Mukul continued his daily routine. He balanced college, cultivation, and the operation of The Eternal Dominion Guild—now expanding its influence across multiple countries. From his home in Aurora City, he supervised projects, monitored business operations, and kept a careful watch on his sisters' careers.
Despite the chaos his hidden identity caused in the public, Mukul remained calm. He never revealed himself in interviews, never appeared at events, and only communicated through his digital alias, Kael Miro. His focus was clear: protect his family and let them shine without risking their peace or reputation.
At home, the Desai family noticed the sudden media attention around Ishita's songs and her mysterious songwriter. Shreya laughed as she scrolled through endless headlines. "Mukul really knows how to make an impact, even from the shadows," she said, shaking her head in admiration.
Sanya, meanwhile, looked impressed but a little worried. "He's doing all this… and still manages college, the guild, and helping us. I don't know how he does it."
Ishita, sitting next to them, smiled softly. "He's always been like this—genius, humble, and careful. I feel lucky to have someone like him guiding me, even without anyone knowing who he really is."
Mukul watched his sisters and parents from the corner of the room, quietly sipping his tea. To the world, Kael Miro was a mystery. But here, at home, he was just Mukul—the youngest son, brother, and guardian of the Desai family. A small smile formed on his face as he thought about how his life had changed.
Even with the world's attention on Ishita's songs and the frenzy about Kael Miro, Mukul's focus never wavered. He reviewed the guild's operations on his laptop, checked the status of the logistics company, and ensured all resources for The Eternal Dominion Enterprises were ready for any unforeseen event.
By evening, Ishita had her new song scheduled for a radio broadcast. She glanced at Mukul, noticing how quietly he handled the chaos. "You really are the shadow behind everything, aren't you?" she said softly.
Mukul chuckled lightly, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "I like it that way. Fame has its price. Shadows… they let me work, protect, and guide without limits."
Elina, who had been visiting for a casual afternoon, looked at him curiously. "You really are incredible. I mean, writing seven hit songs in minutes, running businesses, guiding your sisters, and still staying in college…" She shook her head, impressed. "And all while staying hidden."
Mukul only smiled faintly. "It's not about showing off. It's about balance. Protect what matters, and let the world think what it wants."
The family gathered for dinner that night, a rare moment of calm. Ishita, excited yet thoughtful, finally spoke. "I don't know how to thank you enough, Mukul… Kael Miro. You saved my music, my career, and even gave me my dream songs. I can never repay you."
Mukul reached out and ruffled her hair gently. "No repayment needed, Ishita. Just keep singing. That's all I want."
As the night settled in, Mukul's mind drifted briefly to the future. Global operations for his guild, expanding businesses, keeping his sisters safe, and balancing his multiple lives as Mukul Desai and Kael Miro—everything was a challenge. But it was a challenge he welcomed.
From the shadows, he was everywhere; in the spotlight, he was nowhere. And that was exactly how Mukul wanted it.
Even as reporters, agencies, and fans searched for Kael Miro, Mukul continued quietly, confidently, and strategically—protecting his family, guiding his guild, and ensuring that those he loved could shine without fear.
The world saw Ishita, the star, and Kael Miro, the mystery. But at home, they saw Mukul—the boy who had returned to his family, stronger than ever, ready to protect, guide, and shape the future.
And in the quiet of Aurora City, Mukul smiled, thinking to himself, "The shadows are mine to command… and my family will always be safe."
