Dev checked his disguise in the mirror, it was difficult to his own eyes to recognize the reflection. He had taken the disguise of an old Secretary of a famous politician whom her had fed lot of money to skip the event. He locked eyes with his reflection, the traitor gave flashes of the girl he was mad for. 

''How could you agree to marry someone else? I won't let you! hate or love , you will have to stay with me . Today, I will take you away from all.''

He was sure, his plan of awesome, the only thing he lacked was experience. His opponent was the queen of Jaigarh, who was no Royal.  She was a common girl, who thought beyond his imagination . Above all, she was the woman whose love he had dared to hurt.  It was no his love against hers and he was going to witness what love actually is. He wasn't aware that the day was leading him to the truth he had been kept away from

Dipika caressed Rani turning her eyes to the handler, ''reach there before us an remember, Rani is just to scare not to harm anyone.''

''Hukum, this is a golden opportunity, finish them. They are not worth this life.'' Dipika looked at the man who once sided her father, ''We will talk on that later.'' She messaged Ananya about the plan and made her way to the vehicle she was going to be the first one to reach Suryagrah. 

Dipika shook her head looking at the number of missed calls from Veer, she knew he was worried about Rolli. Even she hated the idea about using Rolli as a bait, but it was now necessary. Her last message was for Sitara, the woman who would remind Netra about what she had lost and how much more she could lose.

***

''Where are we? Why have you bought me here?'' Sona asked worried but Chitra decided to ignore the question. Sona had a reason to worry, she didn't knew where she was and above all Chitra looked different. Sona was aware of Sitara being a lethal woman but Chitra dressed like her mother was sending shivers down her spine, ''Can you even fight?''

Chitra smiled, ''Just because  I am not a guard doesn't mean  can't fight. I am the daughter of two best guards, if time requires I will put my all of me for them.''

''You are too young to die.'' Sona sounded sarcastic

Chitra laughed, facing Sona she crossed her arms over her chest, ''If I am too young to die, your brother is too inexperienced to deal with my Queen. You don't know that she can be limitless when it comes to Ramvijay Hukum. I have grown up hearing their love, and to defeat that love is just impossible. You should be worrying about your brother.''  With that Chitra walked out and locked the room behind her.

Rolli sat opposite to the mirror ready like a new bride. In few moments she would be wearing the ring and accept the relationship with Siddhant. She knew it was just a show, infact he also new that but somewhere she was planning to make it a reality. Rolli wanted to forget all pain she had endured because of Dev. She had made up her mind to punish him for hurting her father and what better than accepting another man in her life.

''You took the right decision. Siddhant is a nice guy.'' Vansh's voice broke the chain of her thoughts. Rolli huffed, ''Leave me, what you are doing is wrong. Stop before its late.''

''Just because she is a staff. How hypocrite of you.''

Rolli shook her her head, ''I never called her staff, you did. What you are not understanding is that its her who is going to suffer at end.''

''Don't worry, no one is going to suffer because of my love interest!'' That hit Rolli hard. She knew it was intentional , to remind her of one mistake she committed of loving Dev. Rolli swallowed , ''Only if you could make a little more effort to understand me for once''

''Its time.'' Vikram stood at the door watching his two younger siblings with a doubtful gaze, tears in Rolli's eyes spoke volumes. She walked to him and stared at the his extended arm, it wasn't just a ritual about brother escorting his sister, it was the support he offered to her, with heart. She looked into his eyes for a minute, with a shake of head she stepped past him walking off. It was now her fight and she was going to win it at any cost.

'Remember one thing, never consider yourself to be lesser than a male but never forget that you are a girl. When nothing works , use your brain because the day a female starts thinking from head  instead of heart, she can bring the world down''

As Ananya's words echoed her ears, the agony was replaced by determination. The tears turned into a smirk. Walking to the staircase, she once looked down at the gathered crowd in the main hall, the spot light moving with her. She knew he was there, she had seen him. No disguise could hide the eyes who looked at her possessively. Now, it was her turn, she was ready to crush.

Lifting her chin up, she descended the curvy stone stairs as the the hall broke into applause, her eyes found her mother's, Ananya's face held a pride and a strange faith. Rolli knew she was going to live upto it. She smiled wider, moving her eyes to her fiance. They were in the role and no one could make out that the affection displayed was not true. She wasn't warm Rolli, she was Princess Aahana Ranvijay Rathore. the one who refused to quit.

She walked at stood opposite to Siddhant , waiting for the guests to calm down. Raksha walked to the foyer with rings and a smile on her face. her eyes met that of her brave niece, her heart swelled and pained at the same time. She wished all to get over and soon.

Rolli took the ring and slid it across Siddhant's finger,he smiled picked the ring he hesitated for a second to slid it into her ring finger. Raksha whispered his name and with a smile he quickly slid it into the middle finger shocking Rolli. As the guests clapped, Rolli quickly changed the finger, she didn't wanted anyone to doubt while Raksha made sure to provide the cover.

One after another the guests came forward to wish the couple and then it was Dev. It took Rolli a second to recognize him but she wore the mask of ignorance on her face. He shook hands with Siddhant and wished Rolli with a piercing gaze, she accepted his wishes gracefully. Moving her eyes to her mother, the message was send. 

As the party reached its peak, Ananya picked a glass and got herself busy talking to Raksha and the dummy of Dipika. Lifting the glass to her lips, she gestured Rolli to take the next step. Rolli smiled at Siddhant, caught his hand and pulled him out into the lawn area, away from all. ''Did he follow us?''

''yes, his eyes did. He will be soon here.''

''Why not just capture him and get rid of the problem?'' Siddhant whispered caressing Rolli's cheek, pretending to be romancing her.

''We need all.'' he nodded. She leaned further onto his shoulder as he lowered his head pretending to kiss her, ''this is so awkward.'' He whispered

''A minute more...'' And next moment Siddhant was on the hard floor holding his head while a palm gagged her, she slowly felt her consciousness leaving her . Dev threw Rolli's limp body over his shoulder gesturing his en to follow. His men and moles had discovered the old secret route and they used it to get out of the place.

Ananya watched on the screen as Dev lifted Rolli up, ''You planned all this A.'' There was annoyance in Vikram's voice

''I did!''

''You shouldn't have risked my sister.''

''she is my daughter first, and she knows what she is doing.'' Just then Siddhant walked in rubbing his head, ''What next?''

''You need to go back Siddhant, I will handle here on. I am giving them a head start. We will follow in few hours.'' Ananya replied

''What if they take her somewhere else?'' Vikram asked worried

''The aren't playing me, I am playing them. I have spent more than a month planning this , it won't fail.''

''Why are you so confident?'' Vikram asked worried. All she did was smile at him

***

Dev stared at the unconscious form of his lady love as they drove towards the unknown destination, ''Hukum, we stay here for the night and move tomorrow morning. We will chnge places till they loose track.''

''What place is it?''

''Oh you aren't aware! This is the deserted Palace of one of your father's friend. He was brutally murdered by Ranvijay Rathore & his wife.''

''And why?''

''Family disputes. I don't know much, take some rest. We will move in few hours.'' Dev nodded, lifting Rolli in his arms he moved to the room directed by one of his men.Placing her on the bed, he caressed her face and then his eyes moved to the engagement ring.  He was about to remove when Rolli stirred, moving closer he patted her head. he wasn't ready to face her. He knew she would hate him but was hopeful about her understanding his point. He decided to let her sleep and gain some strength to face her.

As Dev stepped out, Rolli opened her eyes staring into the darkness. She knew he had been staring her ring and she decided to piss him more. There was no way she was going to forgive the him for hurting her father, she was going to give him what he had been looking for. She would avenge her father. Closing her eyes she recalled the plan her mother made

'How will you locate me?'' She had asked before the engagement

''You really thought I got you engaged out of the blue? Ananya asked. After a moment she replied, ''Your engagement is fake, so the guests barring a few close ones. About how would I locate you? Netra's men will keep me posted on your whereabouts''

''And why would they do that?''

''I have been working hard on tracing all the support Netra and Dev has. I have replaced a few with my own men, and others will follow the orders because they want their families safe.''

Rolli blinked, ''which means, he thinks he is abducting me but in reality its our people.''

Ananya smiled with a nod, ''You are precious, I won't risk you even for the world.''

''what if he learns about it?''

''then too the ball is in my court. I have his grandmother and few hours I will have his mother walking straight into my trap. By the time they know the truth, I will be there with you.''

''WHat are you mom?'' Rolli asked confused

''A simple normal woman, who loves her husband beyond the limits of thoughts and life. I know he will come back to me because he always has but I am not forgiving the ones hurting him. This is going to be the final battle. If they touch a hair on your hair, Sona and Sagar will lose their lives.''

''They are innocent.''

''So is my Ranvijay. He didn't kill Dev's father or grandfather and all is fair in love and war.''  Ananya inhaled deep, ''remember Rolli, no one should know of this. Neither Veer nor your brothers.  And wear this.'' Ananya took out her pendant and locked it around Rolli's neck, ''Keep this safe. That's the first gift from my husband and you are the most precious one. If you keep it safe, it will keep you safe.'' Rolli just nodded

Coming back to the present she smiled, her mother was an experienced player while Dev an emotional one. He could have worked to find little more on the truth instead he jumped on revenge. 

The door creaked and she quickly closed her eyes. She heard footsteps, ''Hukum, its me.'' Rolli's eyes flew open as she found Hansa dressed as a normal villager smiling at her under the veil. Roll' hugged her, ''Kaki, I am happy to see you. You shouldn't have taken the risk.''

''Don't worry. I have done this before for your mother and I didn't come here, I was sent to check on you. They will take you away again at dawn, I will follow later. Don't fight, wait for your mother.'' Rolli nodded and Hansa walked out. It was time to inform Ananya.
