The royal servant standing behind every chair at some distance instantly pulled the chair out for Zaroon and Ruhena. They both sat down, Zaroon at the head chair while Ruhena to his right. All of them were still standing as Farah's bitter gaze was stuck on Ruhena's beautiful face.

Royal servants instantly started serving Zaroon and Ruhena while everyone were gazing at them enviously. They both quietly started eating and in between Zaroon looked up at them but passing them a chilly glare he continued eating.

Minutes passed by which felt like hours for all of them but none uttered a single word opposing their king's treatment towards them. After they both were done with their breakfast, they stood up and looking at every single person with a frosty gaze he voiced out murderously.

"Good that you all know your place" With that they walked out of the dinning room leaving all of them in anger and sheer hatred in their eyes.

As soon as they walked out Ruhena cautiously held his arm to stop him. He arched his one eyebrow with amusement swirling in his jade eyes an indication for her to tell him her reason of this action "Can we walk out in the garden for a while"?

She was really testing her luck today asking him anything she wanted but she was really desperate to walk around this beautiful palace. Without answering her, he held her hand and walked out.

Fresh air greeted them as different scents from variety of flowers invaded their nostrils. She sucked in a deep breath closing her eyes and Zaroon's intense gaze was struck down at her enchanting face. His hold softly tightened around her hand as he curled his fingers with her slender ones. She instantly snapped open her eyes meeting his warm yet passionate gaze and instantly averted her eyes away as she pursed her lips nervously.

An unknown emotion passed through his jade eyes and without a single word he softly dragged her out. She quietly followed him as they entered garden area. The view was itself luxurious, flowers were planted orderly and a side sitting area was prepared beautifully with glass designed windows.

She loves nature to the core!
A smile instantly bloomed up at her cherry lips as her grayish pearls glistened brightly with amazement but stiffened the next second as she felt his long and rough fingers against her ear. He softly brushed her hairs away and placed them behind her ear.

He let out a sigh when he felt her stiffened against his touch and immediately retracted his hand away from her. Although he liked that his mere touch had this effect on her but he very well knew, she was scared from his touch because her slightly widened eyes and fear lingering behind her beautiful eyes was very evident.

And just as he thought, as soon as he pulled away his hand, she took a breath in which she was unknowingly stuck in her throat. He took her to the sitting area and making her sit, he voiced out as softly as he can but still his voice came out cold and distant "You can look around, i will be right back"

With that said he turned towards the bodyguards who were following them from the second they took a step out of their room and left the dumbfounded Ruhena sitting on the bench. All of the bodyguards were still with Ruhena, she breathed out as she dazely gazed at the fading figure of Zaroon cautiously and stood up slowly to explore this palace.

She aimlessly started walking through the wide lawn with beautiful sitting areas on every 20 steps and she eventually found herself in awe as her eyes sparkled looking at the lake. She hurriedly walked towards the sitting area and sat on the last stair dipping her foots in the water. Cold water made goosebumps rise all over her body but ignoring it she closed her eyes leaning backwards as cold wind brushed against her delicate body.

No one knew how much time passed by when she finally opened her eyes as a beautiful smile was adorning her cherry lips. She was so lost in the beauty of nature that she didn't even felt his intense gaze on her. He wanted to ask her to pull out her feets from the cold water as her foots were not healed yet but he couldn't even utter a single word under her mesmerising smile.

She was some sight to behold!

The bodyguards had their heads down this whole time in pure respect but with some unknown fear too. This team of bodyguards was specially trained under Zaroon. The special team force of Zaroon Hamdaani was especially assigned to protect Ruhena because the second she was married to him, she was pulled in his world of hate and blood where lust of throne and power ignites the flame of death and war.

Fear lingers on every path where war lures the enimity and insane lust of wealth let the death prevails. When he married her, the only thought in his mind was his revenge but from the past 2 days, he was feeling a lingering fear in his heart thinking about her safety.

He somewhat regretted taking her here but he knew some day she had to come, because as much as this kingdom was his, it was hers too. The throne where he resides as a king is hers too as she was the Queen of this peninsula kingdom, His Queen!

He shooked his head slightly getting himself out of his thoughts and cleared his throat gaining her attention. Snapping her head towards him, she abruptly stood up but as her feets were numb by now because of the cold water, she was imbalanced in her steps and just as she was going to fall back in the lake, a rough yet hard hand snaked across her petite waist.

She was immediately pulled in a hard core chest where for the first time she felt secure in his embrace. She unknowingly took a sigh of relief as she curled her fingers against his coat slightly pulling him closer. His gaze darkened but he closed his eyes inhaling her unique jasmine fragrance which almost instantly calmed his nerves down.

Both of their hearts were beating in a sync as their bodies were practically glued together. The air was getting hot as wind started to sway her hairs but the sight of man with the woman securely wrapped around in his arms was so magnificent to be true.

He took a deep breath which fanned across her ear making it crimson red and opened his eyes which were darkest shade of wild green jungle. She very well knew she was in his embrace, close to him, close to his heart but today she wanted to wipe off every other thought from her mind and just wanted herself near him, so close that she never wanted to let him go.

She tightened her hold on his coat and clenched her eyes shut more tightly as she inhaled his woody scent "Rooh..." He softly called out to which she only hummed in response "Hmm"? His lips curled up in a wide smile as he softly started stroking her hairs. Her little face was buried in his chest as she was cutely brushing her nose against his shirt. She was looking like a little adorable kitten in his arms.

A alluring chuckle resounded beside the lake as he voiced out "You are bare footed, please wear your footwear then you can hug me" A slight tease was heard in his tone as he gazed down at her. She stiffened at his words and snapped out of her trance she was in.

She slowly opened her eyes and met with his hard chest. She pulled her hands away and pursing her lips in embarrassment she took a step back. Her eyes were still on his chest because she didn't have any courage to face him. She turned to wear her heels but Zaroon held her wrist and made her sit on the bench.

A pair of flats was placed infront of her feets as he knelt down taking her each foot in his hand to make her wear the flats. Where the flats came from? Did he.....? She trailed off as her thoughts wandered away and was dumb struck on his actions.

What was he doing? The multi trillionaire with jaw dropping wealth in his hands, the most feared man of bussiness world, the king of junagarh, the royalty itself was making her wear flats with his own hands? He was known as the most ruthless and heartless man to the world but yet again, he was on his knees for the woman he supposedly hate, the woman who he wanted to ruin, the woman who was nothing but a pawn, a tool in his game of vengeance.

Everyday she saw him in a new light, where his behaviour changes from one to another which makes her confuse to trust which behaviour. His this caring behaviour lit a ray of hope in her, maybe this was the time where their relationship was given a chance to be sorted out but with the hope, there was fear too, fear of him reverting back to his old self because...........

This man is so unpredictable!
