"Mam, are you searching for your parents?"

She was bewildered with that question. How he know? nobody knows me here

"How do you know I am searching for my parents?"

He smiled, ignoring her question and said, "Mam wait at the 3rd room in the right wing of palace." Then he left her.

She felt strange with the way of the butler behavior, but followed his instructions. Within 2 minutes of her wait, her parents approached the room. She hugged her parents immediately on their sight and cried.

Ruby was the first one to relieve the hug and asked, "What's happening maa? Why you people haven't answered my calls? I am worried a lot."

"Don't worry girl, we are here na, stop crying. " her parents tried to soothen her.

"What about the college issue, they issued me the transfer certificate and the principal said, you requested him to grant the papers?"

"Ruby! Yes we applied for the papers, because we don't want you to study there or live there. It's not safety for you. " her mom tried to answer her.

"What?!!! What are you talking maa, I am not any President or Prime Minister, who was afraid of any terrorist so that they need safety. I am just a mere middle class girl with average looks. What was there to fear about my safety? "

His father was intervened her, "Baby listen, we are seriously in a problem, especially you, please try to understand us. We can't tell you everything. So, now accept it and within 2 days, you are going to be shifted here, in all senses."

"What's wrong with you people? If you thought about my safety this much, then how can you left me for 3 days alone in the home, aren't you afraid about my safety then? "

"Who said you are alone there? there was a gaurd always around you, wherever you are. We were really worried about you. "

Ruby kept her hands in her hair in annoyance, with all the newly learnt facts.

"Why me? "

she blurted out the question that was mostly itching in her mind.

Her parents exchanged glances with each other, but haven't said anything.

"Answer me!! " she cried out.

They took Ruby in their arms, "We too don't know anything Ruby. When we learnt about it, we haven't believed but later when we witnessed the threats that were prone to you, we can't risk your life there. Please listen to us for this time. "

Ruby was in tears, "Paa, its gonna be very difficult for me, how can I live without you, my friends and college. What about my studies? "

"We want you to live here, so that at least we know, you are living on this earth. "

"Paa, I don't know about all this, I don't want to live here, leaving all the attachments I had at our place."

"Enough of this Ruby, now listen you are going to stay here no matter what. From now onwards, you will be under the guardianship of Coroner's family".

"Don't be so rude uncle, you are giving her bad vibes about my family. " an unknown guy entered the family scene.

She stared at him in awe because he was the most handsome guy she had ever seen. With good looks, radiating glow on his face, super fit body and his own style walking and peculiar accent, he was able to be noticed by Ruby.

"It's not like that youngman, she was a bit childish while convincing about staying here."

"What's the problem? " he asked looking into her eyes, which intimidated her.

"Its about her studies, she was an art student, you know, right? " her father replied.

But, he didn't shift his gaze from her and said, "Yahh, you can join in 'Coroner's University ', we will apply for that whenever you are ready."
He answered to clear her doubt, and turning in the direction of her father, he continued, "By the way uncle, I am leaving now to attend the party. Convince her to stay, gently." with that he left.

Her father seemed to be frightened with his hidden warning.

"Who is he? " Ruby interrogated.

"He was Vinson Coroner, the heir of Coroner's empire. "
