Ruhena ran out frantically and anxiously asked about Zaroon's whereabouts from his bodyguards "Where is Zaroon? Is he Okay"? They slightly frowned at her words but instantly replied respectfully "Your Highness left for American 3 hours ago but for you, Her Highness we can tell you his exact whereabouts" As he completed, he pulled out his phone and called John but frowned yet again as the call directly went to voicemail.

This never happened before!
He one by one called almost all the bodyguards who went with Zaroon but every call was directly sent to voicemail "Her Highness why do you think something happened to Your Highness"? One of them asked her and she hurriedly pulled out her phone showing them the message.

According to the location sent by Zaroon who is obviously not him is near the junction where 2 mountains meet and in between there is a hollow jungle where unknown wild animals lives "Track Your Highness's current location" One of the bodyguard who looked like a leader named Talal ordered the other bodyguard and turned towards Ruhena.

"Her Highness, you should wait in your room, we will look for Your Highness and try to inform you as soon as possible" Talal politely uttered as he deeply bowed in respect towards Ruhena "No! I am leaving with you all" Her stern and stubborn voice echoed in the wide corridor as she folded her arms against her chest.

"With due respect but we can't, Your Highness gave us the direct command to protect you so we can't afford to neglect his direct orders. We don't know what is actually happening so we can't risk your life at any cost. Your protection is our first priority" Talal calmly answered Ruhena.

"So you are refusing my orders"? She asked as she dangerously narrowed her eyes at Talal "Insolence to be pardoned Her Highness, I didn't......" He trailed off as she cutted him off in between "Your duty is to protect me and i never said to neglect your duty. We are Leaving!"

As she completed, she walked passed with them following her behind. Sitting in the car, she quietly looked up at the sky sending a silent plea to her Allah! Ya Allah! Keep him safe and sound.

Her nervouness kicked in as they reached near the junction but Zaroon was nowhere to be seen. Ya Allah! please keep him safe Ameen Sumameen! "Please wait in the car Her Highness" Talal politely requested and got out of the car. Ruhena closed her eyes and started reciting Surahs for his protection.

*********

As soon as his car stopped in the palace, he hurriedly walked towards his room and as expected she was not there. All he wanted at this moment was to destroy everything!

As there networks were back, he called her but this time her phone was out of reach. His eyes darkened as different scenarios started to swirl in his mind "Try to track the GPS of cars" Zaroon ordered as he walked passed them straight towards the control room to check the CCTV footage.

"Your Highnesses....." The main incharge of the control room stood up anxiously as he saw Zaroon walking in and hurriedly greeted him but was rudely interrupted as Zaroon commanded in his dark icy cold voice which sent shivers down there spines "Today's footage from around 3 to 5" He left around 2 in the afternoon and received the right email at 5 which means Ruhena must have got a message or something around 5 also.

No one can hack his security system because he himself build it, that was the reason except his phone his every bodyguard and assistant's phone was hacked.

As he was looking at the CCTV footage, one of his bodyguard informed him "Your Highness, Cars GPS are showing the last current location which is the palace itself but the cars are not in the palace right now"

Zaroon's eyes darkened as he clenched his hands in a tight fist and banged it against the table breaking it in two parts. All the people present there sucked in a heavy breath and cautiously took 2 steps back from their king. At this moment Zaroon's anger knew no bound, all he saw was red, he wanted to destroy whoever wanted to ploy against him.

"I am going to kill whoever it is!" His murderous voice echoed in the room as he stilled his green eyes at the footage. Soon enough he caught the sight of Ruhena coming out of the room and talking to his bodyguards. She looked extremely restless and anxious at that moment.

He narrowed his eyes as he saw her showing something from her phone. He zoomed in and having the clear picture he read the message. Junction?

"We are leaving for the mountains near the junction" He commanded sinisterly as he took big strides out of the room.

***********

Darkness filled the sky as night slowly started to fell but both were still far from eachother. As soon as his car stopped near the junction, Ruhena was the first one to notice his car. Both hurriedly stepped out of the car and took a breath of relief looking at eachother but his breath of relief was short lived because he saw a red light pointing at Ruhena's forehead.

Both were standing road apart, Ruhena at the left side and Zaroon at the right side. Not only Zaroon but his bodyguards also saw the red light at her forehead but before Talal would have stopped Ruhena, she ran towards Zaroon and Zaroon turned his head pulling out his gun from his waistband.

Ruhena abruptly stopped looking at Zaroon's actions and he shot right in the middle of the forehead at the shooter who was pointing at Ruhena's forehead. That person fell off the tree totally lifeless and Ruhena stood numb at her place. Zaroon looked around and sure enough there were more shooters because on his each and every bodyguard there was a red light, even at himself too.

Sounds of shooting bullets rang in Ruhena's ears making her totally numb at her place. One by one people started to fell from the trees totally lifeless while Zaroon made his way towards her shooting people in between.

Whoever was behind the attack, he only wanted to scare Zaroon, it was just for a show not to actually kill him. With his ears high on alert, he heard a car roaring in a near distance and looking around he saw a car coming out of the jungle straight towards Ruhena.

"Rooh get aside" Zaroon yelled at Ruhena running towards her but she was too numb to react. She had never seen a gun in her whole life and a killing spree was going on infront of her own eyes. She was always grown up in a protected and quiet environment. Never had she seen deaths, blood, crime or guns and that was the reason for her severe reaction.

As Talal was near her, he too ran towards her pulling her aside but as Zaroon shot the car's tire, it changed it's direction straight towards Zaroon and in a mere second Zaroon was hit by the car.

Ruhena who was out of her trance snapped her head towards Zaroon who was now lying in a pool of blood. Her heart stopped at his sight as she ran towards him shouting his name "Zaroon!"

She sat on the road pulling him in her small embrace "I-i am s-sorry.... I-its all my m-mistake. N-nothing is going t-to happen to y-you. I......" Tears started to fell uncontrollably as she uttered in between her hiccups and trailed off as his bloodied slender finger was placed against her lips. Although he was blood filled and was loosing his consciousness but his eyes were stilled at her as he softly whispered "N-not y-your mistake. D-don't....l-let M-mom..... k-know, n-nor....a-anyone e-else......"

"No no.... l-look at m-me, keep t-talking.........." She trailed off as he fell unconscious.
