?Hey M?no I just left! Ok stop teasing you?re Ladoo Jija he is just fine!? Riddhima giggled holding her mobile travelling back to the palace where she was raised as Muskhan giggled down the phone.

?Good I want details RD and I?m not joking!? RD shook her head as she smiled.

?Look who talking? I never got to see you about Rahul?Hey missy that was quick and a surprise?Ok so you in Delhi right?Is Sapna with you?? Riddhima asked feeling like the Limo had picked up some speed and look through the black glass?

?Yeah we here in Delhi?Papa wants me here with him now?I hate these politic RD?the people are so devious I hate being a politicians daughter ?I avoid them papa has no time for me and mums at her social events?? Riddhima could feel there was more to it as Muskhan sighed

?I be in Delhi we can shop before I head back to ladoo?s?After I have completed Mum and Dads Barsi tomorrow?? Feeling her heart sink as she remembered her parents? the limo jerked feeling the bumps on the road she frowned and looked at the driver.

?Muskhan I?ll call you back!? Riddhima ended the call and pushed down the button to the black tinted window to see the chauffeur hat.

?Is something the matter? why we driving so fast?? She asked frowning?

?Madam there is a red car following us?and some jeeps??

**Ring Ring** picking up the cell she smiled.

?I am not picking up the phone your highness?you call me a horse!? grinning thinking about how she left him the car Holt?as her whole body jerked forward as her hands automatically pushed down on the leather seat in front protecting her from getting crushed?

As the door open she felt someone grab her arm and holist her out of the limo and unable to understand what was going on she looked over at the limo trying to free herself?Feeling herself being crushed as someone held her tightly?.she looked over at him looking at her.

?Armaan?? feeling his eyes suddenly full of rage she felt his hand behind her head pulling her hair towards his face as she felt the pain of his grip and anger glare in his eyes.

?You ever refuse to pick my call again I ?.? He looked at the pain on her face and gentle his grip?

?If anything happened to you I would ?.? Seeing his face soften she looked at him with nothing but worry and relief on his face as a lone tear ran down his face?seeing her confused state she looked at him place her hand on his cheek?as he kissed her palm on his face looking at him totally confusion try to comprehend what was happening around her

?SIR!? she looked at him closing his eyes and wipe the tear off his face as he turned to see the Guard.

?There is no bomb in the Limo but we found this!? Armaan looked at the letter and opened it

?This was a mere warning Prince Armaan next time you will not be so lucky!?

Feeling is heart full of rage he looked over at her?the storm had past but this was not over far from it?

?BOMB?? he turned to see her worried face and took hold of her in his arms

?It?s Ok RD! Nothing will happen to you I promise! I will find these sick people and they will pay?.? He took hold of her face and looked at her as her eyes where filled with horror..

Seeing another limo appear he looked over at the door open to see Rani ma step out of the car.

?Ranveer called me! Riddhima beta are you ok?!? RD looked over at her grandmother and ran towards her hugging her ?.

?Armaan do you know who has done this?? they looked at him shaking his head as he walked over towards them

?Well we are not far from the palace let go as anyone could be watching us here on the road?? Rani ma said looking at them both looking very scared.

Riddhima looked over at him as he was so quiet sitting next to her as he held her hand and stared into space? Fear is taking over me?.Now what if I lose her and if there really was a bomb

?Penny for you?re thoughts!? he turned to look at her? Feeling his arms around her holding her desperately she close her arms around him too.

?Lets go back home?.you don?t have to do the traditions!? she looked at him as his voice quivered.

?We are Rajputs and we do not live in fear! Remember?? he looked at her as her voice registered and nodded.

?We are Rajputs?we don?t cry but get even!? he said?..she looked at him repeating the words again.

?Look I be back in no time?I have a few loose ends to tie up!? she looked at him nodding sternly? what is happening to me take-charge man

?You right?but I am leaving my guards with you?? she looked at him surprised

?But what mine is you?re why would the people who raised me harm me???I know Rani ma she tighten up everything she will make sure I am protected?.? He looked at her and nodded she was right as her grandmother like him drop everything to get there?there was no way her own family could harm her.

?I could have sat in her car instead we in the rolls..? she looked at him as he looked straight ahead.

?I am you?re husband and know best as you are my responsibility now?this way we both are safe in the bomb and bullet proof car I did ask Rani ma to join us!? She could feel the old Armaan returning as he looked at her and looked away.

?Ok Relax!? she said moving closer to him?..he felt her head on her shoulder and sighed?..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

?Who could do such a thing?? Vinita asked Jai Chand as they discussed the morning events?

?Who you think? Roma is capable of such an act?.? Vinita said looked at him

?But we have no proof ?.we have to wait and see what happens!? Vinita added looking at her brother and walked away.

?Armaan loves her a lot he came back home and was seriously upset he has not eaten a thing?I am worried about him Jai!?

Vinita and Jai looked at each other trying to digest and piece together what was going on as Ranveer had tight security in the palace and not taking any chances?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who? And Why? Would anyone do this? We have no members of the family threaten before why now? Who could be playing this sick game?

Armaan paced the room and banged his fist on the wall and looked over at her side of the bed. If anything happens to her I will destroy everything?

** Ring Ring*** he looked over at the phone and picked it up.

?Hey?? hearing her voice he sighed as his anger left him?as a smile danced on his lips as he stared at there picture in the stables near the fold?which Minnie had snapped later that day and gifted to them both..

?You there?? hearing the pause she looked over at there wedding picture on the wall.

?Hmmm I miss you!? smiling she fell back on the bed.

?Me too but Raja keeping me company?you know coming back here its so lonely cant believe how much I miss you, Minnie and everyone?Woof woof?..Raja?? Armaan chuckled hearing her battle with the dog.

?He wants to sleep on the bed! I told him no and he is being a pain!?Yeees u aaree! Bad boy!!? Armaan smiled getting into bed and looked around the empty room as the void surrounded him?see the little reminders of her in the room he smiled.

?RD I think I need some attention here?.I?m all alone and totally bored!? hearing him sigh she smiled.

?Awww is my baby waby bored?? he hear her giggling?he smiled.

?Cute! But you know I was thinking?. I?ll come and collect you tomorrow!? he said turning to his side on the bed and seeing her side of the empty bed and placed his hand on the bed where she lay?

?Armaan I need to finish off some stuff and then you can get me as agreed on Friday!?? he sighed heavily frowning?.

?Ok I now you need to get the hand over of the business and stuff..? he said sighed again

?Armaan please do not worry about me ok?.I mean this was someones sick joke?we have no enemies?and no one would gain anything from my death but you?? she giggled ?as he clenched the phone frowning.

?Do you think I am capable of such a thing?? he said frowning.

?Come on honey I was joking?you my knight in shinning amour the way you stopped the limo and dragged me out of the car?.You proved how much you love me and what I mean to you?No I know for sure you would never be capable of nothing but love honey?.? Hearing the long pause her heart raced ?.man I should have said that what would be think of me?

?Hmmm RD please think before you make an accusations in future ?.as someone else hearing you?re joke would think differently?? he said sternly hating the fact she was even thinking he would do such a thing?

?Sorry you?re highness I will remember that in future?My humble apologies!? she said quickly he was always good at telling her ?where her place was?

?Since we have both had an adventurous day ?.we should reset I?ll call you in the morning!? he said heavy heartily

?I am sorry honey ?.please forgive me!? she said biting her lip.

?Just be careful and?it?s OK! Goodnight!? he said closing his eyes.

?Goodnight!? she answered with a deep sigh of regret ?as he ended the call.

Placing the mobile on the side he closed his eyes?she was joking and then why did it hurt so much as I would never hurt her?. Armaan she?s in shock someone tried to kill her and this is her way of handling the issue and on top of that she trying to ease your pain and making the situation light hearted of course she know you never hurt her? Picking up the phone he dialled her number.

?I am sorry!? he said hearing her sobbing

?I am sorry Armaan?.? Hearing her mumbling he cursed himself for her condition.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

?Beta is you?re husband not here for this pooja?? Riddhim looked over at the Pundit and shook her head and looked over at everyone looking at her as she sat near the scared fire to perform her parent?s barsi?.Rani ma, Rishab and Roma looked at her dressed in white performing the rights?

?OM Nama?.? The pundits said his mantra she felt someone come near her and sit down

?Sorry I am late!? he said shuffling forward to be near her?she looked at him surprised dressed in white and looked over at Minnie sitting behind him smiling

?Armaan?? she whispered stunned to see him as he narrowed his eyes.

?I?m upset with as you never told me it was Uncle and Aunties barsi as Vinita bua told me ?while you did not even bother to include me?? he whispered back turning to look forward at the pundit as he placed the coconut in his palm.. As her heart raced she looked at him performing the rituals with her. He was upset but she need to pay attention to the pooja and would talk to him later about it?.Looking over at her parents photo placed near the fire she closed her eyes

?I Riddhima Daughter of Shanshank and Padmini?.promise to make the MALIKS pay for every injustice they have done to my province and for murdering my parents? I will make each and everyone responsible pay for there deaths!? She vowed opening her eyes to see the fire roaring in front of her adding fuel to her hatred?.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

?Riddhima I don?t understand why you played that stunt with the bomb?? Riddhima turned to look over at Rani ma as she sat in her bedroom for coco before going to bed.

?Before a farmer picks his harvest he test the crops to see if they are ripe and ready ?this was what I intended to see?.and Armaan is nearly ready for the next phase?? Rani ma smiled as she looked over at Riddhima looking at her.

?We have a lot to do and keep Anjali away from Atul. This marriage can not take place under any cost! ?I don?t want her there and ruining everything! I am perfectly capable of carrying out this dushmani?? Rani ma looked at her taken back by the sound of her tone.

?You never told me Vidya and Vinita went to Oxford with mum?? Riddhima said looking at her ?clearly not happy with what she had learnt..

?Friends? They don?t know the meaning of the word?they where the one who killed her! And my darling boy!? Rani ma said in tears looking at her granddaughter getting up and walking towards the window.

?Hmmm they will all pay??. Vinita Bua is wrapped around my finger like most of them once the carnation is complete and I am Queen ?that is when I will strike! The Maliks will not know what hit them?and I will avenge my parents death!? Rani ma smiled looking over at Riddhima and nodded.

Riddhima left her bedroom this was what she was waiting for Riddhima her Vice ?. Shanshank and Padmini murder indicated the Maliks involvement she looked at the small child crying in front of her to be her weapon to fight them. Vidya would not have turned down her proposal for Riddhima and Armaan to marriage and she knew it Ranveer would take the bait? Padmini?s best friend would never turn down her dieing wish for unity? Rani ma smiled as everything was falling into place?sending Riddhima away to England was best thing to do as she was away from everyone as she sowed the seed and conditioned the child ?. The private lesson on shooting, sword fighting and combat was all in place?including the art to seduce a man and manipulation Riddhima was a educated in this and much more in the past 10 years all privately unknown to only them as she attended finishing school ?. Only Riddhima and herself knew this? No contact with the Malik as Armaan relayed information thorough her and she passed them on to Riddhima on a need to know basis?. Vidya death was a disappointment but ?.this plan she though off will not go to waste? The bomb scare indicated his love for her granddaughter but this one only part of the plan?.Now with Riddhima established they only had to wait for the carnation which was 3 months away and during that time Riddhima will be ready to Kill King Armaan?..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Feeling Raja near her as she shook her head at him to see his eyes look at her she smiled.

?I am not wrong am I Raj?? she said looking at the wedding photo on the dresser as she place a hand on his head feeling his velvet hair so smooth and soothing with every stoke

?I better call him?. He was upset and then when I kissed him he melted! I better just square it up to him?. I messed up yesterday and I need to be careful with my words?.? As she picked up her mobile it rang

?Hello!? mumbled a deep voice?.

?Hmm This is not good enough Phisab Singh? I want that man found ?I gave you all the details in Paris?Find him!? Riddhima pushed the end button and looked over at Raja looking at her.

?I don?t know Raj that guy?its like he unlocked something inside me and I can not describe it?Romeo? but we both know that was not his really name and I need to find him and find out who he is!?.Ok now behave as I talk to my so called husband LADOO? man I hate this act and he a t**ser!! I have to watch myself always with him cant relax for even a second?Cant wait to go shopping with the girls and behaviour like a brat?? Placing the mobile to her ear she sighed?.

~~Part Seven ~~

Frowning in bed she tossed over?. As the images of her parents came before her eyes??Padmini Jump out of the CAR!? she looked over at her mother looking at her father.

?Listen to me the breaks have failed ?take hold of Rimmy and Jump?I am begging you..? as the car lost control ?Padmini held Riddhima in her arm.

?I am not leaving you? she cried out?. As he drove trying to control the car.

?I have lost control of the car Pam listen to me for god sake JUMP?Meri Kasam!? he pleaded as he looked at the two most important people in the car feeling his own heart breaking as she shook her head at him ?.he pleaded with his eyes and she was admit about not moving?

?We in this together ?I will never leave you!? she screamed back at him.

?Pam think of Rimmy!? he screamed steering the car out of danger.

?We all in this together I can not leave you or her?? Pam sobbed?

***CRASSSSSH****

Getting up out of bed sweating she opened her eyes panting? that nightmare never escaped her dreams and she closed her eyes placing her head gentle on the head board?to feel Raja leap up and lick her face as he waggled his tail as she hugged him? Every time she was scared and had bad dreams he was there but now even since coming back to India the nightmares has returned?.

~~~Flash Back~~~

?First the puppy and what else Ma?? Rishab looked over at his mother in her room.

?How can you forget the evidence the police found ?pointing to the Malik?s killing Bhai?. For that land and now you getting Riddhima to marry the very own people who killed her parents?? hiding behind the door with her tears running down her face she heard them speaking.

?Quiet if Riddhima hears you?? Rani ma moved to the door knowing Ridhima was in her normal spot every night to scare her and Rishab had picked a good time to fight with her.

?Ma??

?Padmini and Shashank wanted this and promised Vidya to give Riddhima to her as there Bua?Why are you forgetting that? ? as the tears ran down her face Rani ma sat down on the bed and looked over at her Son.

?Fair enough Shanshank was not my flesh and blood and I was his step mother but I never treated him an different at all ?Rishab my son I am fulfilling my Son and Bua?s last wish? Now I do not want to discuss this!? Rishab looked over at his mother sobbing and frowned leaving the room?

Riddhima stepped forward not understand what was going on but the only thing that registered was the Malik?s killed her parents and tried to kill her when she was 4 years old.. When she looked over at her grandmother sobbing she was the only one who loved her like anything.

?I will kill them!? she mumbled placing her hand on her grandmothers shoulder.

?I will make them pay for killing my parents?Rani ma I promise!? A Rajputs promise was everything even if that meant dieing to fulfil it..

?No beta what happened was an accident and we have no truth only what the Guards found ?? Rani ma smiled within as she looked at the young girl before her.

?NO! I Will kill them!?

~~End of Flash back~~~

?You are killing me!? Riddhima smiled hearing him on the phone.

?Armaan how am I killing you??as I have not exactly done anything yet?? He heard her giggling and closed his eyes sighing deeply walking over to see the morning sun rising from the balcony of the bedroom.

?It?s been over a week now and you?re staying a few more days?Last couple of days have been Hell?. I want my wife back!? he said frowning.

?Are you sure as I could kill you on my arrival ?would you want that?? he chuckled holding the phone.

?I would die a thousand time just for you?Now when will my murder be coming to kill me?? he smiled looking at the world looking extra beautiful since she called him this morning.

?Be careful what you wish for Armaan? Actually I called this morning to request my king to come get this humble lady who is dieing to murder her husband?? she smiled looking at the large sword on the wall?

?Wow this prey will be there in the next couple of hours..?

?Ok seriously Armaan? there will be a couple of deliveries this morning at home?my yoga and gymnastics stuff? You did promise I could have the old room in the basement?? he smiled remembering there conversation couple of days back.

?Anything else my Queen!? he chuckled

?Sure RD what ever you want?.but you could workout room we used... But as this is you?re home you are free to use any room in the palace?It?s all yours including me!? hearing her giggling he smiled ?.

?Ok you promise! The palace is all mine?? he smiled and frowned

?Does that mean you don?t want me??

?No ?.Money means nothing to me Armaan if you are not there? I too have missed you terrible but there was so much work here to do with the merging of the business and stuff?? hearing that she too was missed him he smiled.

?Ok give me an hour I be there to get you?? placing the receiver down she smiled?

What am I doing? I mean I?m looking forward to see him? I was missing him every night and why did I just call him without thinking? As she rubbed the chalk on her hands she looked at the top bar and hoisted herself up? Lifting herself up she slowed her eyes clearing her head ?.relaxing her arms she leaned forwards letting herself fall as her body moved around the pole? the High Bar was her domain where she felt at peace where no one could touch her as the moved faster and jumped to the higher bar ?. Moving around again she pushed her body with all her might to double somersault and land on the mat?. *clap clap* opening her eyes she looked over at Anjali standing moving forward as she went to the chalk bowl and placed her hands in there.

?Morning Riddhima!? Anjali said looking at her dressed in her Nike black suit.

?Impressive? I don?t get why you like gymnastics at all.. the High Bar and the mat?? Anjali said looking around the gym

?This is a form of art which requires grace and understand of how much force is required to perform such an event?You would not understand Di? Anjali looked at her and frowned as she moved to the rope and placed her hands on the large thick rope.

?What are you saying RD I don?t have grace and ??

?Di I am not in the mood for a fight in fact this whole thing is getting boring? Just face it I married the man you loved and followed to America and he is my husband!? Anjali looked at her complete gob smacked.

?Wow they said married would change you?and someone grown up fast!? Anjali said looking at her frowning.

?I have been quite lenient with you ?since child hood in fact I think you should now know whom you are addressing and will watch how you conduct you?re self with me in the future?As I am the Queen!? ?.lifting herself up she climbed the rope not even looking down.

?Get used the height RD as you will never know from what great heights you may fall.? Anjali looked at her with the ease and grace she climbed the rope without using her legs she was impressive climbing up using her upper body strength.

?When I fall! It will be from Dignity and grace Di?? she shouted back?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

?We need to teach them a lesson!? Roma said looking at Rishab

?They tried to kill Riddhima!? she added looking at him

?And so what? If she dies we get Anjali to marry him?It would not be a bad idea we kill the queen and leave the king open on the chess board.? Roma raised her eyes brows looking at him

?Ma?s a fool giving them everything?I though she would be wise and take the bait we planted after Shanshank death but she still did what she wanted!?. She hated Padmini and we all know why?? Roma smiled wickedly and placed her arms around her husband?

?You still jealous as I was with Shanshank first and then you?? Rishab turned to look at her and frowned.

?I always get his Jhoot?.? Roma looked at him stepping back.

?You hated him because he fell in love with Padmini on his visit to UK and I hate being compared to him?.you had you?re selfish reason and I had mine?.I wanted everything that was rightfully mine the title and he business and now I have to look at a different angle to gain everything?? He said angrily pounding his fist on the wall.

?Honey?? he looked at her as she smiled coming closure to him.

?I have an idea ?.? He looked at her smiling

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

?God how I have missed you!? Feeling his hand on her waist she smiled placing her arms around his neck?leaning forward he kissed her?.feeling his lips on her the turmoil started as her body was responding to his gentle kiss as her brain was telling her to back away?.finally giving in ?.her body melted in his arms as he released her and sighed seeing her eyes still closed and kissed her cheek and smiled.

?Hey sweetheart missed me that much?? Opening her eyes she looked at him and blushed?as he pulled her into a tight embraced.

?Hhhhmmmm nice pick bedroom?and wow I don?t have that picture!? he looked over at the wall and pointed at him as she looked in the same direction.

?Sapna she good with a camera ?.she took it when we where in the middle of the Hall and ?? She stared at them looking at each other and everyone danced around them..

?Well I guess we should get her to clipping out pictures in bollywood poses as that so bollywood you and me eye locking?? he chuckled looking at her..

?Bad idea ?.you don?t know Sapna she go over board and have you lift me up and hold me from behind and ?? he looked at her giggling

?Hmm I guess we can practise those moves!? he said pulling her closer to him.

?You have a one track mind!? she said shaking her head at him.

?I blame you?. never in my entire life have I ever lust after anyone but my beautiful and sex wife?? kissing her forehead he looked at her.

?Wow big bed!? he said raising his eyebrow.

?Armaan??.come on I want to go home!? she let go of him and lead him out of the room? This man seriously but heck what can I do as I cast this spell on the fool?

?Armaan beta I am scared!? Armaan looked over at Rani ma in the main hall.

?Please Rani ma don?t worry my wife?s security will be my main priority ?I will not be risking a thing!? Good as you be worrying about her until you know what hit you?Rani ma smiled placing her hand on his head.

?Good beta I know you are understanding you?re duty as a husband?We will come over with Riddhima Karva Chauth Sargi next month?In the mean time look after her ?And Riddhima you look after Armaan?Make sure he does not worry about a thing!? Placing her hand on Riddhima head she smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

?Hi Bhabhi I have so missed you!? Riddhima smiled hugging Minnie as she kissed her forehead..

?You?re Ansh has grown and??

?Minnie let her come inside I ?.take her to see the young fold later today!? Armaan said chuckling at Minnie frown.

?His Lordship has been a right grumpy old man since you had gone?he was at the stables and he sorted out you?re gym personally?.? Riddhima looked at him a little surprised?

?And we have a new security feature?CCTV!? Riddhima looked up to see the camera and looked at Armaan a little puzzled.

?Don?t worry they placed outside the Palace and inside there no camera?s at all??

?No he stepped up security there too?more guards!? Minnie frowned looking at him

?Can we please come inside?? he said looking around

?No Bua wants you both to wait here?? They both stared at Bua and a woman dressed in white coming towards them holding up Aarti Taali

?This is Devi my sister in law she staying for a few days?. She wanted to do the Aarti?? Bua explained as they looked at the woman with her face covered doing the aarti.

?Riddhima beta ?get ashiward? Riddhima looked over at Armaan as he nodded ?. Feeling the womans hand on her head she slowly looked up at her?.it was familiar but how?

?Saada Suhaag raho!? Riddhima looked at her but the face was covered and her voice seemed to have touched her.

?Bhabhi!? coming out of her daze she looked over at Minnie pulling her away as Armaan smiled looking at them both?

?Excuse me?? They both looked at Armaan chasing after them.

?She did not recognise me Vinny?? her voice quivered as she felt Vinita arm around her.

?No Pam! Relax??

?Send me back to the Lonavola?If anyone sees me Riddhima will be in danger?they will do anything to kill her?.the bomb blast scared me that why I called you?? Vinita looked over her shoulder and lead her away?

?Ok Pam but you have to tell her the truth!?

?No her life will be in danger?. Thank god you and Vidya saved me, Rimmy and my unborn child ? the look on Shanshank face when I told him I was pregnant and you know how they tried to kill Rimmy when I was pregnant with her?? Pam sobbed in Vinita arms?

?Chirag knows nothing about this world?.he think his father died in a car accident before he was born and he mean everything to me?I feel so much better know Riddhima is safe with you? ? Padmini looked at her as Vinita nodded.

?Ok tomorrow morning I make sure you are back home? Relax for now..? Vinita said looking at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

?Hey RD!? Armaan approached her looking at the horses in the pen.

?I have been calling you for ages?? he said looking at her look at him

?What the matter?? he took hold of her hand

?The woman form yesterday? It was like ?I cant explain and she left I wanted to see her??

?Yeah she left last night she mentioned her son was not well?? Armaan looked at her a little surprised

?Oh!? Riddhima said looking at him as he pulled her close to him

?She comes to the Palace when Mum was not well?.she used to stay up with her Atul used to tell me?her son is some singer Chirag Kapoor?.?

?Atul told me Mum was fond of her and she even named her son Chirag?My mother helped a lot of people and everyone loved her?? Riddhima eyes burned up as she turned and looked away?

?You lucky Armaan you had you?re mother?I lost my parents when I was 4 years old and I can still her my mothers screams from the car crash..? feeling her tears running down her face he looked at her.

?RD I know it must have been hard and??

?You have know idea Armaan?watching you parents die in front of you?re eyes know the people responsible are walking free living a life with not care in the world?? He pulled her towards him and took hold of her.

?It was an accident that all I know?and I am sure in one way or another they will pay for this evil deed?? he kissed the tears running down her face.

?I will make them pay!? she told herself feeling his lips on hers?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Feeling his naked body against her in the bed she looked at him and he lay holding her?muscles which she never knew existed now ached as he had make love to her all night and now there sweating bodies lay entangled with each other?What was it he had?as her body would just get aroused but his touch?unknown to her she was reacting without even thinking she surrender her self?and he would leave her wanting more?

?I love you RD!? Riddhima smiled and frowned looking at him mumble as he pulled her closer to him..

It will be this love that kills you?.and everything you hold valuable??

?Bua ji where is everyone?? Riddhima asked looking around the hall.

?There teaching Minnie sword fighting ?in the Games room?? Vinita said looking at her as she looked as if she had worked out in her new renovated gymnasium?as she stood dressed in her nike black gym suit and smiled at her?

?Ok I guess I go see them?.? Vinita looked over at her . In the past few days she watch Riddhima as she inter racted with the family members and the elders ?I true royal part of the family now?..

Riddhima heard the clanging of the swords and smiled inwards as she saw Armaan dressed in a white lungi and vest as he struk Atul dressed in the same out fight?she saw Armaan in grossed in his fight as Atul swung the sward at him missing the target

?Atul?you?re not trying!? he said jumping back as Atul swung again?*clack clack* Riddhima tiptoes towards Minnie sitting on the bench with her hand under her chin looking so bored watching her brothers fight?

?Hey?? Riddhima whispered nudging her to see the big smile on her face

?Bhabhi!!? Feeling Minnie arms wrapped around her she smiled and looked over at a the boys again.

?The lordship suppose to teach me instead he showing off?no one can beat him!? Minnie said looked over at Riddhima looked at him?holding the sword in a defence position.. looking Atul

?You want me to teach you?? Minnie looked at her a little surprised

?Really? Bhabhi you can sword fight?? Minnie ask seeing Riddhima look over at the swords on the wall.

?Yeah a little Rajput have to it traditional?im a little rusty so you going to have to be gentle?? Minnie looked at her jumping up and followed her?

?Ok this is my sword?? Minnie pointed at the rack on the wall at Riddhima.

?No Minnie it to heavy?you need something light?hey what about those wooden ones?I get something nice made in England for you?? Riddhima said handing her the thin long wooden sword?

?Ok now show me how you hold it? Riddhima looked over at her griping the sword and giggled.

?Ok now gentle grip your finger first and rest you?re thumb on top?that it now ?ok now move with me gentle?? Minnie nodded as she felt Riddhima guide her arm slowly forward away from her and back..

?Really?tell you?re bhabhi she got to battle me to teach you?? he said looking at her..

?Bhabhi don?t listen to him?he just kidding he would never hurt you?just show me again..? Armaan looked at her as she nodded at Minnie and went back to hold Minnie?he looked over at them when *CLACK*

Riddhima and Minnie stopped him halfway and Minnie looked scared?and sank into Riddhima as Armaan chuckled?

?hmmm nice?? he withdrew he sword in his hand and looked over Riddhima looking at him not happy at all.

?If you scared her she will not enjoy the sport?Minnie you ok!? Riddhima asked looking over at Minnie catching her beath back after seeing Armaan sword of her head?

?She need to fear the blade as well?.Minnie a fighter she be ok!? Armaan said looking over at them..

?This sports not about fear but an art on how you conduct the sword and??

?Man RD this is about power and knowledge?.man you women..? he turned and looked over at Atul chuckling as he moved onto the mat laughing?

?Minnie I need to ?? Minnie grinned as she saw Riddhima pull a sword of the rack?

?Ahem?.? Armaan looked over at Atul with his eyebrows raised looking over his shoulder?

Riddhima stood with her eyes closed holding the sword in her hand ?.Armaan turned to see her as she simple looked break taking moving forward with her eyes open and displayed her technic to them all?hear the slight moan as she moved and turn making the blade move around the air near her? he looked at her with and gripped his swords ?. *Clack* she looked over at him pressing down his sword as she did not move back not fearing him but holding her ground?

?Show my baby what you got!? he whispered looking at her as her eyes danced.

?Honey I don?t want to hurt you?? she whispered back feeling his breath on her face.

?If you hurt me you have to kiss it all better too..? he said pushing down?Riddhima jerked forward gripping his heal as he dropped hard on the mat?.

?Minnie the bigger there are the hard they fall!? Riddhima giggled looking at him slightly frowning getting up.

?Hmm looks like I have to watch you?? Riddhima placed her sword down and looked at him.

?I am sorry?but you where getting arrogant about the sport and ?? she looked over at him as Minnie giggled looking at him?frowning.

?Come RD!? she looked over at him with a look in the eyes? sighing she shook her head and turned to face Minnie and stepped forward ?.hearing a foot behind her and Minnie eyes she turned ?*clack* she looked over at him pulling back and *Clack* he was powerful she was able to feel the force of his stokes and defended her self moving back?

?Good defence?? he said smiling at her and pushing her back hard as the swords collided?. Riddhima looked over at him he was not fighting with his head but his arrogants??What are you waiting for RD? teach him a lesson?? she thought feeling the powerful strokes of the blade?

?Is this all you got!? he teased looking at her and see Minnie and Atul looking over at him as he hit the sword with a lot of power ?.when suddenly ?Riddhima moved to his side and hit his swords in such away that his slipped from his hand?he looked at her baffled as she turned and walked towards Minnie and placed her sword on the wall.

?How did she?? Atul asked looking at her

?I am not sure?? Armaan said smiling at him as he picked up his sword.

Armaan looked over at her sitting at the table and took the seat next to her at the dinner table.

?You?re a dark horse RD!? he whispered as everyone got tucked into there food.

?I don?t know what you mean?? she said turning to look at him smiling over her victory in the games room.

?See she went for a ride!? the guard said

?Stupid fool??.she gone to the canyon I bet?? Riddhima looked over at him looking very tense

?Dame it I told her I take her tomorrow and look at the time?why did you not inform me?? he shouted moving away from the table?

?IF YOU WANT MINNIE ALIVE! WAIT FOR MY NEXT PHONE CALL!? the line went dead as Riddhima looked at the colour drained from his face.

?Armaan??

?She been kidnapped!? the family looked over at him as he clenched his fist.

Riddhima frowned as they hurdled around Armaan moving back she left the room?looking over her shoulder she saw no one there and place the mobile to her ear.

?Pishaab Singh?..find her! Do what ever? Call me in an hour I want her found!? ending the call? Now who can do this? She thought entering the hall carrying glasses of water for the family?.
