Rehansh's Room:
11:40PM:

"Ha bolo Shiv!" Rehansh answered the call

"Boss aapka kaam hua...but-"

"But kya Shiv?" Rehansh asked

"Bol rahe hai...yeh kaahi old aur outdated style ka payal hai...it's not even 916 gold it's something more authentic and pure gold...Kehte hai gold mei itni purity Aaj kal nahi milti hai...Toh mene pooch liya ki yeh south Indian style toh hoga kya...But unhone kaha ki nahi yeh South Indian style ka nahi hai naa hi vaha k  Royal families k paas aisi intricate designs hoto hai...unka Maan na hai ki  yeh shayad koi North Indian Royal Families ki jewellery jaisi lag rahi hai...even though they aren't sure which one but They say...The purity, weight and intricate designs goes to show it's some ancestral jewellery! Ispe unki expertise nahi tha toh voh sirf kuch baathey hi bata paaye.."Shivin took a little dramatic pause

"boss lekin Arya bhabhi k paas yeh itni pure gold waali payal kaha se aa gayi??huh? Aapko nahi lagta ki Arya bhabhi thodi careless hai...Gold waali payal giraa Diya usse cafe aur notice bhi nahi kiyaa huh! Yeh toh accha hua humne dekhliya aur dhyaan se side mei rakh diya magar thodi expensive cheezon ko carefully handle toh karni chahiye Naa!" Shivin blabbered

"Total Rubbish! Shivin what nonsense are you spewing out? Arya k paas yeh kaise aaya phir? Voh Jeweller pagal hai!...kisi aur se pooch... I don't believe one bit of what they say! Aryaa is never so careless about something so precious...and I do think voh Jo jeweller hai voh story exaggeration kar raha hai" Rehansh said frustrated...that instead of finding potential residency of Arya by means of locating the jeweller that sold her this anklet...it's just driving them away from eachother...What in the Royal nonsense that Jeweller spewed out...He doesn't understand

"Accha what's the update on searching for a new dome! Did you find anything useful?"  Rehansh asked

"Yes boss! Aapne jaise requirements bole hai waise hi mene ek dome dhoondaa hai...!" Shivin enthusiastically replied

"Okay! Hai kaha yeh dome?"

"Dome se zyada isse ek poorani not-in-use haveli keh sakte hai boss...Punjab mei hai...Patiala k outskirts mei....kaafi deserted and undisturbed area  hai...bilkul jaise aap chahte theyy!" Shivin answered with excitement

"Yeh accha hai...vaise bhi Mumbai se bahar hi kahi rakhna thaa...yeh bhi accha hai...But owners kon hai?...uska kuch pata chala hai!?" Rehansh asked

"Haa...Voh toh Raizada empire k  Maharaj Late King Raahil Singh Raizada ko belong karta hai!" Shivin answered

"Pagal voh toh Royal residence Hui na-"

"Nahi boss ..jaise mene bolaa voh Raizadas Iss haveli mei nahi rehte hai...voh toh Swarna Mahal mei rehte hai which is also in Patiala but iss wali palace se thodaa dur hi hai...! So Which means realistically yeh wala unused hai ...Hum kharid sakte hai...uske k liye baath karna padega lekin-"

"Maharaj ki dehaant ho chuki hai Fire accident mei news nahi padi thi kya tumne Shivi?...toh unki absense mei Next unke bete ya beti se baath karni hogi!" Rehansh said

"Haa boss...par usmei bhi problem hai...kyuki unki dho betiyaan hai yeh toh sabko maalum hai...Magar kisine unhe kabhi dekhaa nahi hai...yaha tak  naam bhi nahi sunaa hai! Bohot log bolte bhi hai ki voh dono bhi videsh mei hai kahi padaiyi k liye!" Shivin answered

"Konsa country...iska koi idea hai??"Rehansh asked

"Nahi boss!" Shivin answered

"Lekin Maharaj k maut k itne din baad koi Coronation nahi hui kya? Like who will be the next queen and all... obviously the first born daughter would be the queen in usual cases but...Ab tak koi public statement issue nahi kiya hai kya?" Rehansh asked

"Nahi boss...yaha tak news aisi aarahi hai ki...unke funeral mei bhi unki betiyon ko dekhne nahi milaa!" Shivin answered

"What!? Yeh dono princess' thode ajeeb nahi hai?....apne hi father k funeral mei kyu nahi aaye honge? Aise kaise daughters hai unke!? Koi Particular Reasons hai iss behaviour ka?" Rehansh frowned

"Boss wahi toh mene bhi socha....Aur Reasons aur Rumours toh kahi zyaadha hai...kya sach hai kya jhoot yeh sirf close family members ko hi maalum hai....magar Yeh mujhe laga ki Maharaj ne bhi toh unko poori zindagi chupaake rakha hai...uski bhi toh koi vajah hogi...dho betiyaan toh hai par sirf ek ka naam milaa hai...voh bhi sirf intials!" Shivin said

"Initials!?" He asked

"Haa...SSR! Ismei se toh Singh Raizada toh pata hai magar 'S' se konsa naam hai...accha hai itna toh clue hai...Voh bhi sirf aur sirf voh Jo last year unka koi employee unn royals ko dhokha de raha thaa peechle 20 saalon se...Toh Princess SSR ne hi usko rangey haathon pakda aur fire kardiya...Baath yeh bhi sunne mei aayi ki Raizada empire ki Next Chief of Security ka responsibility bhi Princess SSR ne liya hai magar kya sach hai kya jhoot iska confirmation kisi paas nahi hai.....aur yehi unke baare mei First and Last News hai..Yeh jo Raizadas na kuch zyaadha hi secretive hai...Naah jaane kitne Raaz apne andar hi dafna k baite hai..!" Shivin informed all that he knew

"Okay..Voh sab baathe chodo!unke secrets unke lookout hai Shivin...Humara kaam pe focus Karo! Pehle yeh Princess SSR ko dhoondo! Aur unse contact karne ka koi tareeka nikaalo! We need to strike a deal with this princess!" Rehansh instructed

"Accha theek hai flight board kar liya?" Rehansh asked

" Ha boss...check in kar liyaa...abhi thodi derr mei boarding hogi!" Shivin answered

"Arav hai tere saath?"

"Haa hai yehi....nahi jaana nahi jaana  hai bolta rehta hai...phir bhi kheechke laaya yaha !" Shivin giggled looking at his brother huffing in annoyance but then he became a little serious

"Par boss Patiala bharr mei yehi Bolaa jaata hai voh Haveli kaafi bhootiyaa haveli hai.....aur  manhoos bhi hai...Vahi pe Maharaj Raahil Singh Raizada ki maa Maharani Sumitra Singh Raizada ki Maut bhi hui thi.
..aaspaas k Log toh yeh bhi kehte hai ki uss Mahal mei naa jaane kitnon ko maarke dafnaya gaya hai aur unki maut toh Raaz ka raaz hi reh gaya hai....Aur isiliye Raizadas shift hue naye palace mei aisa bolaa hai...!Toh pakka Hume yehi Haveli finalise karni hai kya? Hume kyu kyu itne saare bhooton k jhamele mei padna hai Boss?" Shivin asked slowly

"Shivin!" Rehansh growled as Shivin understood it pissed him off so he quietly hung up and went to board his flight

Next Day :
The Four Seasons Hotel:
Gym Area:
6:00AM

After drinking her pre-workout drink...she came into the gym and started warming... Doing all sorts stretches to relax her muscles and prepare for the exercise

She began doing Burpees ...As Arhaan entered the gym...and Began going to the treadmill which was directly opposite to where she was doing her burpees...He was happy to watch her workout as he did his own...She on the other hand was in her own world fully engrossed in her typical work out routine...He went to do some Arm workouts..While His eyes still following her every moment... Going forward she did lunges efficiently

She walked ahead to lift some weights...And after some time began doing Barbell squats...He was shocked how much weight she could actually squat with no difficulties...And next she took a little break to calm down and drank some water... then walking towards a bench she laid down and was about to start bench pressing when Arhaan reached there

"Can I spot for you?" He asked politely as she agreed to let him help her...So he stood there spotting for her....as she began bench pressing all too well until 11 ...and then she started becoming a Little out of breath...as Arhaan held the bar to ease her out....She looked up and saw him smiling down her her.
"You can leave it I'll manage!" She said, still not being able to help herself out of the trance and the urge to actually notice his beautiful Amber eyes,
But nonetheless she shook her thoughts and continued doing bench press still unable to take her eyes off of him no matter however harder she tried and it infuriated her, Making even more agressive towards her exercise.....And Arhaan's story was the same too but he knew he loves her far too much to even get distracted by anything that's anywhere around her while looking at her

"Aahhh!" She winced lowly as a sharp pain surged through her shoulder she to the aggressive exercise and excessive pressure...Arhaan who heard her quickly took the weight away from her and put it aside... helping her sit down...He offered her some water

"Please calm down Sera..lemme help you!" He said as she looked at him frowning

"But-"

"Shh! Please sit back down...I'll be right back in a minute!" He said and ran off to the first aid box kept at the reception area....and ran back in...Sat down beside her on the bench

"Can I?" He asked before supporting her shoulder and began massaging it applying slight pressure...just as soon as Serafina winced he stopped asking her about the intensity of the pain and slowly rotated her arm around while reassuring her in every step of the way.... Serafina looked at him in admiration of how gently he was handling this...He later took pain relief gel and applied it around her shoulder...Then took out the painkiller pill and told her swallow it...

This wasn't Serafina's usual way of dealing with pain..heck this has never ever happened to her before as her stance was always correct during exercises but today she was a little careless yet she just brushed that thought away and this ain't even that painful for her yet she sat still and let him treat her even when it's not a big deal for her...There was something about the softness in his voice that made her comply to him in a way she never expected she would and the genuine concern that he showed right at the moment was something so unique to her....Not many people she had met were this kind and gentle...It was hard to come across such gentle people and seeing one such Rare gem for herself she knew why it was so rare.

She kinda hates how she loved how carefully he dealt with her as if she was a porcelain doll...Whereas Generally she hated the idea of being pampered around and treated like a glass doll because She always wanted to be self-reliant, Strong, A protector and tough person but something about this Pampering made her heart flutter.... Shaking her head at her stupid thoughts she just got up abruptly

"Thank you Mr.Raisinghania !" She said and walked away swiftly but to her surprise Her bestfriend Agasthya met her midway right outside the gym area...

"Heyy! Sera...I've got you Banana Smoothie!" Agasthya cheerfully announced as she smiled at his sweet nature thanked him and drank the smoothie.... Making Arhaan stand at a distance and watch them as he burned in jealousy...All Arhaan wanted was for His Babydoll to smile for him but poor guy never got that

"She literally smiles at everyone except for me!" He scoffed kicking the wall near by still watching them talking to eachother.... Irritated and overwhelmed by jealousy he just wanted to get out of the place and go back to his room.

The Private Dining Room:
1:00PM

Today was the discussion day for the clauses in the contract and about electing the project head , assistant project head and other teams while setting the desired budget for the whole project...All the invited members were present there...As The Raisinghania brothers took their seats too... Everybody in the team greeted them warmly and introduced themselves

"So let's start the-" Serafina was cut off by the loud screams And gun shots outside...which instantly stopped followed by harrowing Silence...The people in the room were greatly Confused and slightly taken aback...As Serafina stood up and rushed out of the room before anybody could even react... Seeing her going out of the room... to the place where the gunshots were fired from made Arhaan Panick for her safety...there's a shooter on the looser and his love was running towards that shooter

"No Precious no!!" Arhaan yelled running after her...as Rehansh and Vansh too followed her in worry as they texted Arav and shivin to take their guns out and calls other guards in

Coming outside the room she saw that  the some goons were pointing their gun towards Arav and his brother Shivin

"André Tell him to drop that fucking gun...NOW!" Serafina yelled loudly

"How does she know that french Mobster!?" Rehansh asked Arhaan who looked very surprised by her unfazed and nonchalant expression on seeing the gun as if it was pretty casual thing for her

India:
Swarna Mahal:
11:00 AM

Aishwarya was taking an afternoon nap knowing very well it wasn't good for her but she had to because of all the sleeplessness she's suffering from

She opened her eyes and found herself in that same Damned inauspicious Auditorium where she lost something very very precious to her...She walked in and there he was

Her papa CB-CID Chief Raahil Singh Raizada was Giving a Speech on stage with Her Dadda  and Maa  seated. Right behind him on stage at VIP Seats...This was Raahil's Charity event organised for the welfare of Children rescued from Brothels, Child traffickers and orphaned on the streets.

Aishwarya stood there admiring him

When all of a sudden her Dadda Viren Malhotra ran swiftly towards her papa pushed him off as a loud gunshot was heard and groaned as they both fell to the ground...Every guest present there were stunned into silence....Her Dadda had a bullet wound on his Arm as Her mother screamed rushing towards them when another gunshot went off hitting her papa Raahil on his leg...as the crowd began scrambling around

Small bombs went off in and around the entrances which wasn't much of an impact to many guests but sure did burn some people who were too close to the door.....As the people scrambled behind towards the stage but unfortunately for them bombs burst near the stage too scaring the people even more...But what nobody noticed because of the intense smoke and screams were the flames that had caught on all the curtains and was now actively spreading through all the decorations

"PAPA! PAPA! Dadda! MAAA!!" Aishwarya screamed awake in panick and sweat remembering the Awful day...She drank water desperately trying to calm her racing heartbeats...She closed her eyes and began counting backwards from 100 slowly to catch her breath and stop the panick...Her Mind swirled back to the time when

FLASHBACK:

"Mr.Yash Raj Patel I need to know what's going on with this case...It is about my parents and I have full rights to know what is actually going on!" Aishwarya's argued with the officer who was her father's team mate and his subordinate as the officer complied giving her the last  clip of cctvs on that day before it was damaged due to the fire

Her heart dropped witnessing how both her Papa and Dadda were hurt by the bullets

"Rajkumari ji! It seems someone with vengeance had planned this attack thoroughly to kill them! Aur Crime scene mei auditorium aur stage k aas paas hum koi evidence collect nahi kar paaye but jab top floor inspect Kiya toh Hume yeh bullet shells mile!" The officer said handing the bullet casings to her...she took it and inspected it to find some symbol embedded on it

"Yeh symbol..." She trailed off unsure

"Isi symbol ka research Kiya mene aur India ki koi bhi authorised gun manufacturing company ka yeh nahi hai symbol magar..."

"Magar? Magar kya Mr.Patel??" Aishwarya questioned further

"Voh darasal mene apne kuch informers to iss kaam par lagaya tha aur usne mujhe kaha ki yeh kisi criminal gang ki symbol hai!" The officer answered

"What??"

"Sach hai yeh rajkumari ji...bohot waqt se hi chief par kahi zyaadha hamla hua hai inn gangs ki vajah se Jo child trafficking karte hai...Unhi k cases deal kar rahe theyy Chief ab kuch saalon se...Mujhe toh lagta hai yeh unhi ka kiyadhaara  hai!!"

"Toh iss gang ka members kon hai??" Aishwarya asked

"Aaj Tak toh batana mushkil thaa because unke paas koi na koi aisa gundaa hota thaa Jo unki jagah khud jail jaaneko tayyar thaa...aur itne saare gangs mei se ek toh narrow down karna aasaan nahi hai...Magar ab jab iss bullet casing k symbol k baare mei pata chala...toh humne confirm kiyaa ki yeh gun Un dho Mafia Kings ki hi hai!" The officer solemnly informed

"Mafia Kings??"

"Haa... kisiko mat batana Rajkumari ji magar mashoor businessmen RRS aur VRS hi hai voh Mafia Kings lekin iss ko prove karne ka koi solid proof nahi hai humaare paas toh hum iss investigation ko proceed nahi kar paa rahe hai!"

"Yeh toh naa insaafi hai officer mei-"

"Mei yaa aap kuch nahi kar sakte Rajkumari ji kyuki yeh log kaafi dangerous aur Influential people hai...inn hi jaise logon ki nazron se aapke papa ne aapko bachake rakhaa hai itne saalon se...Mera Maan na yehi hai ki aap iss case mei please involve mat Karo... aapki safety k liye rajkumari ji!" The officer requested but Aishwarya's was far beyond angry at the RRS and VRS...Vowed to destroy them both
