" Why are you ignoring me??" I asked in a desperate tone, hinting towards her behaviour since morning." Since when do you care?? " She asked back, my question probably made her angry." Since always. " I admitted it honestly." But I never saw this before. " She raised her brow, and I saw a hint of surprise in those eyes " Cause I never showed this before. " I answered honestly again. " And what changed your mind now. " She kept bombering me with questions. " I,... just want to. As simple as that. " " But I don't want to see this now. " She answered, bringing her rough facade back again."And what is that you want??" I asked genuinely curious while stepping a little closer but still maintaining the distance."What can I possibly want??" I heard her humourless chuckle, and I guessed that finally she's going to express her feelings about what happened today. "I don't want anything," Her tone suddenly changed into a dangerous voice as she snatched her arm from my grip and turned tow
Jennifer I disconnected the call with Param bhai, and went back inside the room where Christian was waiting for me. " I'll go and tell Aparna Baisa that we'll have our dinner in the room. " Informing him, I turned to go out but stopped at his question. " What are you planning?? " He asked in a low voice. In answer, I just gave him a smirk and walked out towards the kitchen leaving him with squinted eyes. I met with Aparna Baisa in the living area only. " Baisa!! Please send our dinner to our room." I said and looked behind her to the dining table where everyone was settling down for dinner. "And also," I started a little loudly, making sure to get listened to by everyone. " I want my room to be empty in an hour. I'm shifting back and I don't want a single thing that doesn't belong to me, in MY ROOM. " Every head snapped towards me at the speed of light. I looked at Baisa who was as shocked as anyone else present there at my words. " I will sleep in my room, from tonight only
" And what is the plan now?? " He asked." First of all we need trackers. "" I can get them from dad. Even I-, Yeah I'll get them from dad." He said getting up from the bed and taking out his clothes from the cupboard while I narrowed my eyes on him." What was that??" I asked."Nothing. And what are you going to do? Cause before anything else, we need to assure your safety. So definitely I'm not going to leave you alone here, not for a single moment." He walked to my side of the bed. "You don't worry about that. I've a plan." I said, getting up. "Can I trust you with your safety??" He asked taking my hand in his'" Yes." I assured him while holding his hand in both of mine and he nodded."Now, if you are going to shower first, I'll take another nap." I said dropping myself on the bed. " You are so lazy. " he commented but I chose to ignore and then heard a voice of the door getting closed.Just after five minutes, the door swung open. I got up with a jerk to see neatly dressed Ch
Jennifer" How are you both doing?? " I asked fixing the hands free in my ear and sit on the bed as soon as they answered the call. " How can we be fine, till you are there. " I heard Sid sighing helplessly from the other side of the call. "If only we could just run to you. I would have choked that fucker Uncle of yours with my own bare hands. " Koel growled and I flinched at her curse. "Yeah, but you guys can still help me, being there. " I said. "How?? " They both asked together. "Koel, I've mailed you some documents related to the business. Please check the accounts. " "Oh, Are you taking over the business too?? " She asked excitedly. "Certainly. This business belongs to my father. And the manager has told me that there's a lot of illegal activities going on in the name of the medicine business. "" Woah!! Your Uncle is a total villainous type. " I heard Koel's bored voice. " Anyways, It's Saturday so you guys must be free until Monday. Can yo-"Yeah, I'll do it. Don't worr
"What?? " I asked in confusion, blinking my tears away. "You can't go inside. " One of them told me and my eyes snapped up at his disregarding tone. " And why's that?? " I crossed my arms around my chest and stared at him while the other two guards stood there silently, watching us argue. " Because nobody is allowed. It's Sahas Sir's or-"I'm not nobody. I am Jennifer Mahajaan." I interrupted that bearded arrogant man harshly who was about the same age as me. "I don't care whoever you are. Nobody is allowed to go inside there. You may go back. " Saying that he signalled me to return back with the wave of his gun. Fire ran into my blood and all that I wanted at that moment was to snatch his gun and stuff all six bullets in his head.Sucking into a sharp angry breath, I gave him a last murderous look, which seemed to be not at all working on him and stormed back. Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I dialled a number. " Just ten minutes. " The answer came as soon as the call was ac
JenniferFinally, the Palace was a safe place for me and Christian. Suraj Uncle had explained their duty to the new security team. We didn't have to change the servants as Aparna Baisa told us that they are all reliable. When Sahas Uncle got to know about my deeds, I thought finally he's going to lash out, but he didn't and I had to believe at Suraj Uncle's guess that he's running away from the confrontation and definitely is going to do something in the party. For the time being, I'm content with his pissed off face. I wonder how he would have reacted if I had done all this in his presence. Had I not sent him to get the records of Mahaajan Hospitals, I could see his live reactions. Ah!! I missed the opportunity." Did you find something from the old footage?? " I asked, entering inside our room with our clothes for the party. " No. But Karim told Dad that they had tried to break the door once but a danger alarm wreaked havoc in the whole Palace." Christian answered keeping his gaz
"You are right." My voice came heavy because of the crying. "What do you think could be useful in our case?? " He asked, scanning the room.The room was decorated in an ancient interior. They way royal palaces used to be in old times. Being closed for all these years, there was dust and webs all around. I didn't answer Christian's question and walked up to the paintings. Holding the white cover from one of them, I threw it away and revealed a beautifully painted black horse near a river. The dust made me cough badly and I covered my mouth with one hand. I looked at one side to avoid the dust getting into my eyes and they landed on the chess board placed at the table with two chairs placed around it opposite to each other. Grandpa taught me chess, and after him, I never ever dare to touch it. I walked up to it and picked up the black queen. "The Queen is the most powerful in chess. And I want you to be the black Queen who holds the power that can take all the impurities of her surrou
—JENNIFER—I was halfway to my house when I saw the crowd gathered on the side of the road. I don't drive too fast usually, that's why while passing them I got the glimpse of the man lying in the middle of that road. I couldn't help but stop the car near them and got out. Passing the crowd when I reached in the middle,I saw a middle aged man lying unconscious there. My eyes widened at seeing blood all around him. I looked around to find the people just standing and staring at his lying figure. "Someone please call the ambulance!! " Someone from the crowd shouted and I rolled my eyes while looking at the phone in his hand. "Get away!! " I pushed the people away from the man and sat down to check his pulse. It was slow but thankfully still working. With the help of some men, I managed to get the man in my car before turning to the muffelings of the crowd. One of them was holding a suitcase and trying to open it while others were watching him. I guessed that the suitcase belonged to
