I swung the knife wildly at the man in front of me and he took a step back.
“Stay away from me,” I hissed.
My hand shook as I waved the small knife because I knew I wasn’t capable of using it ever again. Not after what had happened the last time. Now that I knew what it felt like to kill a man, I didn’t think I could do it again.
The men backed me into a corner and snatched it from my hand.
Just then, I heard the roar of a motorbike approaching the property. The men turned in surprise which turned to shock, and then to fear when there was a loud blast that blew a massive hole in the high wall that surrounded the mansion.
There was pin-drop silence as they all leaned forward to peer at it. Alka Goel spat out a mouthful of blood and waved a hand towards it.
“What the hell was that?” she asked in confusion.
When the dust cleared, we saw a man walking through the hole with a rocket launcher on his shoulder.
I knew that weapon. Hell, I knew that man.
It was Dheer!
CHAPTER 26
DHEER
Iwas debriefing Raksha about what had happened after I found Manto Singh when she held up a hand.
“Why aren’t you chasing after your wife?”
“Because she’s right. My actions were unforgivable. There’s nothing that I can say to change that fact,” I replied defeatedly.
“How about the truth?”
I let out a bleak laugh.
“The truth will send her running for the hills, and you know it. We’re better off leaving things as they are.”
“Don’t you love her?” asked Raksha incredulously.
“Of course, I do! More than life itself.”
“Then how can you let her go so easily?”
“Because she’s better off without me! You know what I am! You know exactly what I am, Raksha.”
“You’re a good man, Your Highness. That’s all that matters. The past is past. You did whatever you had to do…” she broke off as my intercom rang.
I answered impatiently.
“Yes?”
“Hukum, this is Kirit Singh from the main gate. One of my guards has just informed me that Her Highness, the Rani Sa, left the palace five minutes ago on foot.”
“And why wasn’t I informed immediately?” I thundered, jumping to my feet.
“Maafi, Hukum. The man is new to the job. He believed Her Highness when she said that you knew about it.”
“Get someone to go after her immediately, and keep my car ready,” I snarled. “If anything happens to my Rani Sa, you’ll all regret the day you were born.”
I slammed the phone on the desk and ran out of the room.
