Mr Conwell woke up the next morning after the engagement of his daughter, he was anxious to unwrap the gift that he was given by none other than the notorious Mr Knightley.

He entered his study with the gift , after his morning regular routine, started to unwrap it with a pounding heart, and as he pulled the wooden cover up, he took a few step backwards. It was his family portrait all of them his daughter's,his son,his lovely Marianne ,his mother. A card was kept inside he took it out and read,

"An eye for an eye."
Hide him from me any longer,
You will be loosing on of them everyday.
Regards,
Mr.Sean.J.Knightley.

Mr Conwell was shaken to the core,he picked up his phone and dialled a number, after a few rings the call was answered and he said," Come to my house after breakfast , We have to talk about your gift."

Sean was already up , when he got the call from Mr Conwell ,and he was elated that his message had gone across exactly as he had wanted,he had his breakfast and got ready in a blue suit,with the Conwell's it could be never casual and he made sure it even showed in his appearance.He decided to show up during the breakfast the look on old Conwell's face would be priceless,so he called his chauffeur and set out.

Rania was an early riser since she was a child, mornings were her favourite part of the day. She was casually dressed in her yellow kurta and salwar,  she didn't like dressing up that much,and the bliss of wearing her comfortable clothes after last night party was pure bliss.

She recalled last night's party, moreover it was a particular someone's gaze she remembered quite vividly, it was strange, uncomfortable, calculative and in plain simple truth, she didn't like the way it made her feel.

She went down for breakfast and sat down next to her grandma quietly eating,  while everyone was talking animatedly with one another about yesterday's festivities.They were all interrupted when one of help said that someone had come to meet them, Mr Conwell was not in his right senses since the morning and replied to bring whoever it was inside.

In walked Mr Knightley and the help showed him towards the table, Mr Conwell stood up seeing him so did Marianne it was suddenly quite at the table, everyone was looking at him and the man,Marianne quickly got out of her daze and urged him to sit. He sat at the left of Mr Conwell and his eyes fell on someone who was sitting on the right side just in his line of gaze, Rania was flustered this man was here again, she looked up and saw that he was looking at her, she felt conscious and looked away, after ten minutes of what felt like eternity, her  father stood up and escorted the man to his study.

Mr Conwell was rattled, and he needed to compose himself, and he was conscious of the man walking behind him, he opened the door to his study and sat on his chair while Sean sat across the table on of the two chairs kept there.

" I can't give you what you want Mr Knightley" said Mr Conwell.

" Well then there is no need for a meeting from now on all negotiations are off the table, I strike and you try to survive, try because you are not going too ,it's payback time, you are going to do exactly what I'm going to say , otherwise the consequences will be worse,and you have lot to lose then me," Sean replied.

" I'm not going to back down,Mr Knightley ,you cannot come here in my house and threaten me, if it's war you want,it's a war you get," said Mr Conwell whilst rubbing his elbows.

" If that is what you want, it's fine by me, but let me return the hug you bestowed upon me so kindly," Sean replied .

Mr Conwell was scared he got up from his chair and went towards where Sean was sitting he got up and engulfed him in a hug and said," The war has been declared but I play fair and square, I can shoot you right now from my gun in my inner pocket and it will all be over in a few moments ,but where the fun in that , and unlike you I take the rules of the covenant seriously ,so I bid goodbye now ,but I'll come for you and your vile son."

He released him from his embrace and soothed his jacket , he turned to leave and was at the door when he turned and said again " Your daughter's are very beautiful too." and left.

Mr Conwell was in cold sweats when he heard his parting words, and sat down on his chair  with a thud.

Sean was out of the house,and was calling the chauffeur to bring the car around when his eyes caught someone in the garden walking,it was her he knew that.

She turned around and he met her eyes, and so many emotions passes through hers,he looked at her from up to down,it felt like he was accessing her she immediately turned around and started walking away.

Sean's car arrived and he sat in it and left. Rania was relieved this man was plain weird,and that way he rattled everyone in the morning ,even her father,it seemed like they knew each other from before. She decided it wasn't her place to think about all this and went about doing her work.

Whereas in the car Sean called someone from the car and said," Pick up the girl, when I say so,".

In that moment both of them Sean and Rania fates were sealed together.
