All Chapters of The Prince in Disguise : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Yashvardhan Pov “ Dad” All the heads turned to the source of the voice. Jai entered, and he bowed to touch my feet.“ Jai, what is going on? Care to explain.” I was unable to control the anger that was surging in me. I wanted to keep my voice low as Anaira was a patient and she needed rest, but the anger in me forced me to increase the pace of my voice.“ Dad, Anaira needs rest. Can we come out and talk.” Jai came near me and hugged me. It is his way of pacifying me, which he knows always works. “ No need to. Even I want to know the truth. I think I have the right to.” Anaira spoke to us, simultaneously glaring at Jai. Jai’s head was downcasted, which was quite unusual. Jai always speaks with eye-to-eye contact. Something is weird, but I can't pinpoint it. Hearing my loud voice, other family members joined us.“ Is there something wrong? Please don't mind Anaira; she is like that only. Doesn't know when and what to speak. I am sorry from her side.” Reema Ji was blabbering, which w

Jai PovThe truth was painful. My whole body shook with the amount of grief I was feeling. The pain shoots like someone stabbing the body and twisting it. When I couldn't control myself, I punched the table with my knuckles. I broke into pieces, and it pierced through my skin, and blood started oozing out. This was an external wound, and the pain would subside, but what about the internal wound, the pain that was piercing my hurt and running with the blood throughout my body? Arjun took my hand in his and pressed the wound to stop the blood from flowing. Leena was helping him in tending to my wounds.“ Jai, I know, son, it is hard for you, and due to this reason, I had never ever told you anything. Son, this changes nothing. You are my eldest son and will always remain like that only. Please forgive your dad for hiding the truth from you. I love you, son, and you are my son. No one and nothing can change this truth.” Dad folded his hand in front of me. My heart aches to see him like

Jai Pov The realization that because of my father, Anaira and Arjun lost their parents hit me hard. I don't want to pressure Anaira for anything. She is my best friend's sister and hence will remain dear to me, but if she doesn't want to be my wife, then I will not force her. However, it is quite difficult for me to live without her. After Anita, she was the first woman ever to cross the boundaries I had set, and the thing is that I allowed her to break those boundaries which she had broken without making any effort. Like Arjun, she has a heart of gold. I need to collect my haywire thoughts. Maybe a walk in the garden would help me sort out everything. I was going out when I felt a hand on my shoulder. “ Bhai, I want to talk to you.” Both of us went out into the garden. “ Bhai, I know you must be worried that since now you are not our brother, we would treat you differently or, worse, would not acknowledge you as our brother. Nothing has changed. You are and will always be my elder

Author’s Pov After what felt like an eternity, the doctor came out. Immediately we surrounded him. “ Doctor, how is my son?” Yashvardhan was the first person to speak up.“ The operation was successful.” All the faces were beaming with pure joy.“ But,” He continued. “ Due to the large amount of blood loss, his heart rate and blood pressure have dropped. Though blood was transfused on time, his body went into shock, which meant his brain was shut down for some time. We are doing our best, but it seems he has lost the will to survive.” The doctor paused for some time“ Doctor, please save my son. His daughter is too small to lose both her parents. She is waiting eagerly for her father's return. You are considered equal to god. I beg you.” What an irony of life. He is the king and still begging and pleading with folded hands. With all the wealth and money he has, he cannot buy his son's life.“ Sir, I am just a human being who is trying his best to save your son. That is my duty, but

Anaira Pov I am on cloud nine today as Jai will be discharged. He has healed, and even I have healed. Ma, oops, I know you must be wondering who Ma is. After she came to know everything, she started taking good care of me. She had abstained from doing household chores even after I had recouped. " Anaira, how are you feeling? I have brought this vegetable porridge for you. It will speed up the process of healing and will give you energy. " She kept a tray that had porridge and juice in it. " Aunty. " She kept her hand on my lips. I wiggled my eyebrows, asking her why she kept her hand on my lips." From now on, call me Maa. I know it is too hard for you to forgive my deeds, but I would be forever indebted to you if you would forget the past and call me Maa. I don't want to take your mother's place, but I would be happy and contend that you have at least forgiven me and given me a place in your heart." From that day on, I have started calling her Maa. It was a sweet gesture from
