Rania changed into the clothes given to her by the maid, it was a loose top and pant, she felt disgusted and dirty after what happened with that man in the room.

She thought of all this as a bad dream she would wake up from, but she knew better, she was here in the place and she could do nothing, she was powerless, meek, and helpless.

Mr Knightley was not like any man she had ever met from the time they had seen each other at the engagement party, he was out for revenge and to her utter misfortune he had chosen her as the medium for it.

Mr Conwell received his son with a heavy heart, he knew that Sean Knightley would not show mercy towards him but he had to choose, it was better to accept defeat now and strike again when the tides had changed in his favour.

His son Arjun Conwell was a typical spoil brat, being the only son had given way to his arrogance. He met his father at their home and he was casual in his demeanor and he said
" why am I here dad, that Sean and his petty sister have not got over me yet".

He was not expecting a slap on his face by his father and he said in a serious tone
" We are in this predicament because of you, your sister has been kidnapped by the Knightleys and God forbid she signs the paper, you are left with nothing  understand".

It dawned on him that moment that his step sister was his father eldest child ,and according to the bylaws of the covenant she could transfer half of the property of her father's to anyone else belonging to the covenant, it was upto her discretion.

He panicked and looked at his father and said " what do we do now dad"

" Whatever Knightleys want, he outplayed us this time we have to get Rania out of there, she doesn't know anything about the covenant and it's rules.

They both agreed on this and set out to meet Mr Knightley.

Here Mr Knightley was in a confused state of mind, he had the papers ready and he had to get it signed from that girl in the room on the second floor.

She was different than other Conwell's, and it annoyed him, she was so he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He went to the room where he kept her, he unlocked the door and went inside she was sitting in the front of the bed ,her head down on her knees he cleared his throat to get her attention.

She looked up her face was teary, she got up from her place and stood up.

He said" Well Miss Conwell now comes the part where I tell you why you are here, you sign this paper and I let you go when your father comes here".

She looked at the stack of papers in his hand and looked away.

" Don't make this difficult miss Conwell , the more time you spent here the more danger you are in , I want to help you ,sign this ,and you go unscathed from here".

" You want to help me seriously Mr Knightley then you should just let me go ,I'm not signing, I don't know anything about all this" she said defiantly.

" Don't use that tone with me miss Conwell , I'm being civil with you here , otherwise what you're brother did with my sister"he said closing the distance with them" we would do exactly the same with you".

She went back not liking his nearness he looked at her and pulled her forearm bringing her closer he could see her face he threw the papers on the bed she was not looking at him anymore ,he jerked her face up so that she looked at him and he said " miss Conwell don't mess with me and do not test my patience"

They were in this position looking at each other trying to read each other eye's, their gaze was unbroken when Rania broke the spell and said " I'll sign whatever you want me to sign ,not because you threatened me but I want to get out of here and away from a disgusting person like you and one more thing don't touch me ever again".

She took the papers and signed them and gave it to him.

He was looking at her and  at the papers satisfied with her signatures and before he left he said" red suits every part of your body miss Conwell" commenting on her top.

She looked at him disgustingly.

Mr Knightley was beyond relieved she signed the papers, pawns could only be used once and he had used her wisely, just then his phone rang breaking his reverie he received it and smiled.

It was Mr Conwell he was coming to his house in one hour with that vile son of his son, today was the day the fire in his heart would subside,when the Conwell's paid for their sins.

He went to his study on the first floor ,he switched on his laptop , there was an email from Josh he clicked it open it was the details of miss Conwell's life, he started reading.

It said that miss Conwell was a kind, caring girl and all the usual drill about her education, address ,next of kin, his eye caught the word engagement and he read, engaged to be married on the day of engagement it was called off by her due to reasons unknown, though the man who she was getting engaged to was her best friend.

An excellent dancer, there were links of her dancing videos, he clicked on it and she came on the screen, she danced quite well ,he looked at her mesmerized and sighed" oh!! Miss Conwell you are something else aren't you", he closed the video and while sitting he thought about the girl  upstairs in his home.

His intercom rang, he didn't answer, for he knew who his visitors were, he went downstairs and he saw both of them sitting , the very sight of Arjun Conwell had his blood boiling he restrained himself and greeted them and sat with them.

Silence reigned where they sat and Mr Knightley said to break it" I'll call miss Conwell you can take her home with you".

They both were abashed, he was letting them go just like that, it was surreal.

Rania came down and looked at her father and brother and they both got up ready to leave , they headed towards the door with her following them.

As she reached the door, she could sense him looking at her , she looked back at him and he said" goodbye miss Conwell " and she was sure she heard him say 'red' to her.
