Madhav was standing pointing his gun to Shreya, who was looking at him with shock but before she could say anything he fired.

A loud gunshot voice echoed in the whole palace. Abhay, who had just arrived there, looked at his father and then his gun. He looked down at Shreya who was swinging in his arms.

He sat down on the floor with her in his lap. He looked at her, who was laying in his arms lifelessly. Then he looked at the couch whose condition was worse because its cotton spread all over the floor.

He closed his eyes and thanked the god that he saved his love from that bullet and that bullet pierced the whole couch.

He has very hard expressions on his face and Madhav was looking at him but he didn't even spare a glance at him. His eyes were red, it was looking like the blood would ooze out of them anytime.

The person who matters in his life was in his lap without any moment. It was haunting him more.

He hugged her tightly and a haunted scene came in front of his ears. When he entered the palace he saw that Madhav had a gun pointing at Shreya.

As soon as he saw that he ran and before the bullet could touch her body he pulled her towards him and that bullet went inside the couch which was just behind Shreya and ruined it.

She fainted because of the shock and loud noise of the gun because it just went from near her.

"Mama saa take him out from here, otherwise I have to call my guards" He said without looking at them because his eyes were focused on Shreya's face.

His expressions were hard. He picked her up in his arms and took her upstairs without looking back at him. He took her to the hospital room which was very big and had all the facilities even better than a hospital.

He placed her on the bed and called someone after talking. He went near her his eyes still red and in anger his head veins could be seen properly.

In 5 minutes a team of doctors came inside the room and started checking Shreya.

This team of doctors were his personal team who works in his hospital which is made in his residence and treats all the mafias only. They were not only trained to treat but they were highly trained in weapons and fighting subjects too.

The hospital is just 5 minutes away from the palace. A senior doctor checked her properly and injected her. Abhay was standing there and watching everything with his usual hard expressions.

"Hukum saa, she is alright it's just because of the shock she fainted but I injected her and we all checked her properly she will wake up till the morning, she needs rest" That senior doctor came in front of him and said with calm expressions.

Abhay was still staring at Shreya with blank expressions. That doctor gestured something to the other doctors they all understood and went outside bowing her head down. As soon as everyone went out that senior doctor put his hand on Abhay's shoulder and said,

"Abhay, she is a fine brother. See nothing happened to her"

"Nothing happened to her because I arrived there on time, Rao" Abhay said and sat on the chair which was near Shreya's bed and held her hand tightly.

Dr. Abhijeet Singh Rao, a very famous surgeon, he is best friend of Abhay since childhood they were in the same school then in the same college from different courses. They were more than brothers. When Abhay started to make his own world these friends were always there to support him. Most of his friends who work in the Mafia are from his college.

"Abhay, why are you thinking so much? You know that whenever someone attacks her, you've saved her. And this is not the first time she has to face such situations in future too. Everyone is there to save your treasure bro, so just don't worry." Rao hugged him but Abhay was still looking at Shreya and didn't hug him back.

"By the way, I have joined her college as a professor, so stop taking stress" He broke the hug.

"She will not go to college, I will provide her everything here, I will take care of her every need. She wants to become a doctor then your team will teach her and she can practice in our hospital but now she will never step outside of this residence" Hearing Abhay's words Rao gulped and got up.

"Abhay, I know whatever Madhav uncle did—" Abhay showed him his hand and he zipped his mouth because he knows that if speak more than he won't go back in one piece.

"Leave Roa, and send me the details of Hemant" Abhay ordered, he nodded and went out.

Abhay took her in his arms and came inside their master bedroom. He placed her on the bed and went to change after changing he came back in the room and changed Shreya's clothes also and made her wear a comfortable satin night suit.

He threw her saree in the laundry basket and laid beside her clutching her in his arms. He was just staring at her beautiful glowing face which had some different kind of peace.

He tried to sleep but sleep was far away from his eyes. In the meantime his phone rang he looked at his phone and saw Shlok's name was flashing on the screen. He cut the call and placed it on the nightstand.

But when the phone rang again he picked it up and placed it on his ear. There were some seconds of silence between them. Abhay got irritated and asked.

"What happened, now??"

"You tell me what happened??"

"As if you don't know anything"

"Hmm I know everything but I want to know from you"

"Go and ask that person who tries to harm her." Abhay caressed Shreya's hair.

"Abhay, are you okay bhai??" Shlok asked sincerely.

"No" He said calmly and cut the call a lone tear fell from his eyes. But his expressions were still hard. No one can say that he was crying. But he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

On the other hand, after talking to Abhay, Shlok was not feeling good because of a slight pain in his heart hearing Abhay's voice. He was looking out from his window and he was in some deep thinking.

The servant of that place knows Shlok very well and when Shlok saw Madhav came back with Uday only he called the manager of the servants and asked everything.

He turned and looked at Priyal who was sleeping peacefully hugging his pillow. He went near her and covered her properly with the blanket and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

He went out in Madhav's study but not before closing and locking the door properly. He directly went downstairs and knocked on his study room. After hearing a loud hard and stern voice he opened the door and went inside.

He saw Vikram and Uday was also present there. He sat on a couch without saying anything. The silence was the only thing which was in the room.

"Why did you do that, dad?" After some time Shlok broke the silence and asked calmly in fewer words.

"I had no intentions to harm her, Shlok. She is just like my daughter. I tried to accept her with my heart but as you can see that Abhay was losing his mind. He is ready to deny my rules, my commands. He cannot be my son…I just know one thing that after she came into his life. He spoiled his life" Madhav completed.

Shlok chuckled and got up from his place and looked at Madhav who just lightened up a cigar and tucked it between his lips.

"Dad, do you really think that Abhay has ever followed your commands and rules? Whatever he is today…he is just because of his hardwork and if he had follows your rules then he would've have make his name only in business world not in the Mafia world"

"You know very well that all the mafia things belong to him…he is not only the king of Udaipur but he is the king of mafias. Do you really have any idea what he can do with you? Anyone who had tried to attack bhabhi he had literally compelled them to beg for their death but he can't do anything with you because you're his father."

"Just go and look at the world he made…it’s just too dangerous and you know why he able to made them all because he only follows his rules and regulations"

"I don't know if you understand me or not but I have to tell you only one thing that today you have lost your very precious relationship. You have lost your elder son and daughter-in-law. He will never come here."

"He will definitely come here, I will go and talk to him" Vikram said and looked at Shlok who smiled sadly and shook his head.

"Sorry Dada ji but you will not be able to go inside his residence,"

"What do you mean by that??"

"You know what I mean he will not let anyone inside without his permission now."

"I will get them back tomorrow at any cost we're a family and don't forget that a family lives together." Vikram gritted his teeth and Shlok chuckled dryly.

"You guys have made a Mahabharata out of this family, where we don't know when the relationship will become enemies" He said and stormed out of the study. Madhav crushed the cigar and looked at Vikram who was looking at him angrily. He also went out without saying anything.

Shlok opened the door and closed it behind him he angrily took off his t-shirt and threw it away. But when his eyes fell upon Priyal he calmed down.

"Where were you??" She sat up rubbing her eyes.

"In your heart my love" He went on the bed and laid beside her, locking her in his arms. She was in half sleep so she couldn't ask anything and slept.

Next morning:-

Everyone was sitting at the dining table. Padmini was just staring at her plate with wet eyes. Noone paid attention to her till a tear fell from her eye and touched her hand.

Madhav placed a hand on her shoulder and then she looked up at him. His facial expressions were hard but concern could be seen on his face.

"What happened, Padmini?" Madhav asked and everyone looked at them.

"Madhav jii where are my kids? Yesterday you went to bring them back then why did you come without them?? I want my kids back here…Abhay and Shreya are the lights of this palace. I can't live without my kids" Padmini got up from her place and went upstairs without eating anything.

"She is right, Madhav, we all want them back here. Ask Abhay to come back here with Shreya or if wants to stay there then he can but send her back." Vaishali completed and looked at Madhav who was in deep thought.

"I don't know anything, I just want them back because without them this palace is haunting me. Tomorrow Uday and Malini will leave and I want everyone to be present here at dinner"

"Priyal, beta go and take the breakfast in Padmini's room and make sure that she at least eats something because she didn't have her dinner yesterday" Vaishali placed her one hand on Priyal's head and she nodded.

After that she went into the garden and Madhav strome out of the palace. The stress lines can be seen on Vikram's face. Uday was talking to him in a slow voice. Malini also went to her room.

Shlok slowly went near Priyal's ear and whispered. "Be ready, we will go to Abhay palace in half an hour, don't ask and react. Just be normal I will wait for you in the car" Shlok got up and went out.

As per his orders she didn't react much and served breakfast on a plate and went into Padmini's room.

On the other side, Abhay was getting ready in front of the mirror. He was combing his hair. A loud whimpering sound fell in his ear. He looked from the mirror that Shreya was stirring on the bed.

"Ahh" She moaned in pain, holding her one hand in which the doctor injected her.

Abhay went near her and he made her sit while holding her other hand and supporting her back.

"Why am I feeling so heavy?" She asked, narrowing her eyes because of the sun rays which were coming from the big windows. So, she was not able to see everything properly.

"Ohh don't you know that you ate so much junk food in these last few days that's why you have become a panda…but my cute little panda…" He pinched her cheeks and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Shreya backed off and pushed him away.

"Urghh I didn't brush yet"

"Hmm so go and get ready and from today you're on diet because I can cradle a panda happily but not a whale" He said and went near the mirror and wore his watch.

She passed him an angry look but he pretended like he didn't see anything she hit on his shoulder from back on the way to the bathroom.

"I hate you, Mr.Rajawat" She said angrily and went inside the bathroom he chuckled.

He was relieved that she don't remember anything. He was also trying to behave normal in front of her but inside him a volcano was ready to brust anytime.

"Shreya, I am going downstairs. Come fast and after breakfast, I have to leave for an important meeting" He said loudly while wearing his shoes and without looking at the bathroom door.

He doesn't want her to feel alone here so that's why he wants to be with her till she gets used to this place.

As soon as he looked up he saw her leaning on the bathroom door with her hands joining together.

"What happened last night, Abhay?? Why are you hiding things from me?"
