He called Bhairav and ordered him about what needed to be done for the next few days, Bhairav so wanted to ask Abhyansh about his meeting some hours ago but he didn't, he couldn't understand why Abhyansh went without taking him along but he dared not ask him.
Both of them discussed the course of action and Bhairav dispersed to get it done while Abhyansh opened his Mac to get some work done, it started with an office call with his brother presenting his ideas for the new development project they had taken over. He started diverting more work to Avyan, he knew it would stress him beyond his bandwidth but that was his intention, for his brother to take over things expanding his capabilities, sometimes life didn't give a choice, his brother too did not have a choice other than managing and developing the vast empire he had created.
"Re-do it", he said and exited the office call leaving his brother in shock. He would never accept anything less than perfect and that wouldn't change for his brother or anyone else for that matter. 'Your Rani sa is an exception' his head screamed which he royally ignored and focussed on the work at hand.
After an hour or so, he received a text from his wife to have lunch and he did.
Abhyansh was fully occupied with hunting his enemies for the next few days and he almost succeeded in retaining control over Europe, this didn't go well with his foes at all, having control of the whole continent and losing it in just a few days had infuriated them and exactly at that point, Abhyansh's biggest and oldest rival joined them planning Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's destruction for once and all but only while execution did they realize how foolish they were in even thinking they could defeat the BEAST. Defeating a BEAST was impossible but killing wouldn't be that tough, they concluded.
Abhyansh felt something strange, he started micromanaging the security at Ranawat palace from Europe, in fact, these days, it took a majority of his time, he even discussed it with Ranveer and Avyan who assured him that things were going the same way but Abhyansh couldn't get the peace he would if everything was going fine. He talked to Isha about it and warned her to keep her ears and eyes open all the time, he asked her to let him know even if she noticed a minute behavioral change in the staff or any suspicious activity by them. She found his instructions surprising as he trusted all his staff a lot and never ever had heasked her to do something like that. She asked him and he told her honestly that it was just his intuition but it was too strong to ignore and Isha trusted him and signed up for what her husband asked her to.
Abhyansh asked Bhairav to run a scan through the security arrangements once again and Bhairav fought the urge to take a deep sigh, honestly he was tired, as this was what he was doing in the past few days. Abhyansh wanted to go back but things were too complicated now to leave the place and his heart didn't allow him to leave Europe at this crucial time just on his intuition no matter how strong it was. He ought to honor his men's sacrifices who helped him retain control over Europe, now just very little to do was left for the whole control to be back in his hands again.
"Yes Maharaj", Bhairav responded and was about to leave when Abhyansh's words stopped him in his tracks.
"Bhairav, Go back and safeguard Ranawat palace", Abhyansh said and Bhairav's eyes widened... No, he wasn't leaving Abhaynsh again, he did it once and there were grave consequences...
"No Maharaj... I'll be with you", Bhairav outright rejected the idea, Abhyansh's eyes showed his disbelief at Bhairav's words but no anger in them as he knew why Bhairav was so reluctant at the idea.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Bhairav... Go to the palace, immediately...", Abhyansh ordered
There were around 30 people around them and Bhairav and Abhyansh tackled them together, they killed most of them and the rest were injured badly, they couldn't get up but they knew more people were on their way to end Abhyansh and Bhairav just couldn't go leaving him.
"I said Go Bhairav, Take Avyan with you... I want my brother safe... I'll be back with Advaita", Abhyansh ordered sternly, the kind of order that Bhairav couldn't refuse anymore so he followed the king's words and left from there with Avyan.
Abhyansh tried establishing a connection with his family but couldn't, they were not reachable and he felt as if his foes might have attacked the family palace, he cursed himself for sending Bhuvan abroad to tackle an issue. If he had been there, he would have handled the situation at the main palace, thought Abhyansh.
"Advaita... Where are you ?", Abhyansh whispered to himself searching for his sister... He was hell worried for his little sister, she is just a child and all his foes are no less than animals and he was sh*t scared of what they would do to his sister...
He kept searching for her, all his trusted men were searching for her but they weren't enough, he didn't have many trusted men, in fact, he didn't have many resources, he sure got back his family's assets, and fought back the vile men, but he still didn't make himself unmatched and impossible for anyone totouch. He was powerful but not the kind of power he desired to keep his family safe.
"Advaita...", he shouted for her again wandering amid the plush green forests, he heard a movement afar from him, and he walked to the side with his palm on his sword, his pistol was as good as a useless metal piece as he emptied the bullets on the scoundrels previously.
"Bhai sa...", he heard his sister's shrilling scream that turned his blood cold...
"Advaita...", he ran in that direction, he saw his little sister was held by 2 men who looked so horrendous, their faces filled with big scars, their hair flowing till neck. He knew his sister would be so scared now... He wanted to rip them away from her right away but if he had to be careful, one wrong step, he would fail in saving her, God! Even that thought burned him, he had to save his little sister, he couldn't let her die or suffer, no he couldn't let anything happen to his princess.
"Bhai sa...", she cried... she was so scared of these men...
"Scream louder... We want to end you and your bhai sa as well... but before that, let us have some fun", one man said running his fingers over her body...
"She is a little kid", the other man said, he wasn't okay with what his friend was doing but did the man care ? No...
Abhyansh's blood boiled... When the man's hand ripped his sister's frock, he couldn't stop himself anymore...
"You bas**rd...", Abhyansh lunged at them but before he could reach them, a couple of lorries passed at high speed, he couldn't reach them since the road was separating him from them. And when he started running towards them, someone shot him in his back just below his right shoulder...
"AmarSir is here...", he heard one of the men say...
Abhyansh still tried to run towards his sister, but several men attacked him, he kept fighting with them, resisting their hits, injuring them, but he was stabbed multiple times in the fight, was hit brutally on his wounds. He was at the verge of falling unconscious but he fought it. He was bleeding badly from every part, the pain was killing him but the desire to save his sister made him fight. Even at that stage, he was heavy on the enemy side, he hurt many of them badly, and he had to save his sister, that was the only thing running through his head, he prayed to let his sister be safe, he could die after sending her somewhere safe... This was running in his head throughout.
He got up with difficulty again, and this time he was hit on his head and blood dripped over his face from his head covering his eyes and he slowly dropped to the floor. A man wearing a green kurta threw the rod away and walked to the other side of the road where one man out of the two was assaulting his little sister while the other tried to stop as he wasn't in favor of sexually assaulting a little girl. Royalty screamed from theman wearing Green kurta, Abhyansh recognized his clothes from behind but he wanted to be sure... The green kurta he wore so many times when he visited his place, saying his wife stitched it for him and Abhyansh remembered him saying that he wouldn't even let his daughter or son touch this kurta as it's so dear to him.
"how long will you take ?", the man asked, Amar Rajput, the voice was so alike Amar Rajput but Abhyansh couldn't believe it, he always had his doubts about why that man supported his father even after the Ranawats lost all their properties, he didn't believe that man could be so kind but now he couldn't believe he could be this vile too.
"Maharaj... I could go on for days if you allow me", that bas**rd said touching his little sister while she cried... Abhyansh tried to get up many times but he couldn't, it was very difficult for him to even be conscious... He prayed to god to take him away, to kill him but let his sister be safe.
