Raj and Kenny came back tp palace. And returned to their lives as normal. Myra kept her secret. She was an agent after all. Agni has asked Kenny to offer Vermillion daily to Goddess parvati in Raj's name. And she wore Mangalsootra disguising it as a gold chain.
" We are at an impasse about the weapon", said Maddy.
" You and Myra work on it", said Raj. " Gather all the data we have on it".
" Okay Raj", he said.
" Parry any news on shares", asked Raj.
" Non6e", he replied. " Which os kind of surprising as Dr. Amit is in a soup."
"Another shareholder meeting is coming up. This will be key to prove that I am suitable for the CEO position. "
" A Mrs Deepa Kare is ready to sell shares to you", he said.
" How many", he asked.
" 4 percent", said Parry.
" Get them", ordered Raj.
Parry nodded in affirmation.
" Raj", Kenny came to him. She looked engrossed in a report.
His face softened as his eyes filled with love.
" Whipped", mouthed Parry to Solly. Solly just shook his head. He was trying to find what Vicky hid.
" Raj look here", said Kenny pointing to the report.
" Yes beautiful ", said Raj
He looked as Kenny asked," Why did you decide to close the bandhini print department "?
Parry froze. She caught it.
" Its showing losses Kenny. The inputs are all going waste" , he replied.
" Maybe we can do something ", she tried to say.
" We cannot beaitiful. It is a non performing asset. We should let it go", said Raj.
" But the employees ", she started.
" Some of them will be assimilated elsewhere", said Raj.
" What about others", she asked.
" We have to let them go love. But I will compensate them well".
She looked sad.
" Business beautiful ", he said
" You got to make tough decisions".
Kenny just nodded.
He can't fool her thought Parry.
He was about to speak something but Raj glared at him. He remained quiet.
Unfortunately Myra witnessed it.
" The b*stard is planning something behind her back", she said to other three girls in lunch break.
" What", asked Grace.
But Myra merely shook her head.
" He stopped Parry from informing her About something".
" Why can't he just be honest with her? Gives her unnecessary headaches", muttered Kiara.
" He is like a scorpion"; said Grace. " He bites the hand that saves him".
" So what is he up to", asked Myra.
" No f*cking idea", said Myra. " I could feed him to wolves", she said angrily.
" Well considering the poison incident none of them will open their mouth until his highness orders" hissed Shai.
" Ro tried to warn him that time", said Grace.
" So did Parry", scoffed Myra.
" And Maddy as much as his lower count of scruples allow him", said Kiara.
" What do we do now", asked Shai.
" What was she talking about", Kiara enquired.
" About a department in company being closed", said Myra.
" Hmm then maybe we can find out", said Kiara as she started clicking keys in her laptop.
" Hmm he sent notice of closure to some 8 departments in Bhishma", said Kiara.
" Show me", said Shai. " Y'aallah in my report I told him these are the low performing departments. "
" Hmm we need to keep our ears and eyes open", said Kiara. Heavens Raj when will you stop.
" Total destruction. Junagarh in ashes", said Raj. " That is my aim. Start with this Dhanraj".
He handed a profile to his friends.
" Kamini's lapdog. One of her few cronies who tried his best to remove you from the company when you were young", remembered Parry.
" Well he was unsuccessful. I won't be".
" I will have men after him", said Solly.
" Good", said Raj.
" Kenny will find out", said Parry.
" NOT UNTIL YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH", hissed Raj.
Parry remained quiet. He knew she will find out. God save Raj then.
Meanwhile
" Kenny".
She was walking down the main corridor of palace when she heard that voice.
She sighed.
Rahul
" Yes Rahul", she sighed.
" I am sorry", he said. " About what I did in meadows. I lost my head. I .I.."
" Its okay Rahul. But please try to understand. Well Raj and I. We are planning marriage. So I feel awkward around you".
" Marriage ", exclaimed Rahul. " You all but know him for months. You don't even know what is he like. Or why is he here?"
" I love him", she said simply. " I respect your feelings but I don't reciprocate them. You are my close friend. And I don't waNt you both to fight. That curse. It.It must end". She was at a loss of words.
" Do you want my word that I won't kill him" , he asked.
" I know that", she said weakly.
" So you are worried about me", he asked emotionally.
" Is Raj the one who will kill me"?
She shivered.
" Raj becomes a different person when he is angry", she said."Blind with rage so that he can kill". She meant it literally. She has met Aditya. Well now that they were married Aditya was calm. But for how long?
" Then he can harm you too", said Rahul in agitation. " Wait he had harmed you in past".
" Not intentionally. And he loves me too", said Kenny.
" I don't know Kenny. Never take a decision in haste. Think over the idea of marriage", said Rahul.
Too late now. She is now married. But she is happy and no regrets.
" I will. Take care",she said just to end the discussion.
A day later.
" Amit Khurana paid the debts", said a baffled Parry to Raj.
" How"?
" No idea man", said Parry.
" Its the shares. He got a buyer for them", said Raj.
" You are right", said Solly. " Your brother completed the deal last evening. He also met Kenny yesterday ".
Raj controlled his thoughts. Kenny could hear him. Just then she came in.
" Raj Amit's shares umm Rahul bought them". She looked little flustered.
" Its okay beautiful. You win some and you lose others",he said." Its business".
She hugged him.
" I am sorry. Its my failure", she said.
" More mine than yours sweetheart ", he said. " Don't worry".
" Oscar worthy acting", sneered Myra.
" Ms. Kapoor maybe if we can actual work than throwing jibes at each other we may be able to close a deal", said Raj calmly.
" Two designers from Mumbai want to meet you. The problem is that they are fierce competitors. You can sell cloth to either. I shall provide the details. You can calculate risks and see where your interests lie", said Myra.
" Hmm since its a company decision get my brothers on board", said Raj.
" You sure", asked Parry.
" A hundred percent", said Raj menacingly.
" We got to keep an eye on him" , said Solly to Ro
" Why", asked Grace as she overheard the conversation.
" " Because love", said Ro "Murder convicts don't ascend a throne. And Raj was capable of killing.
Killing anyone standing in his way
