reality

zain's words made make feel goosebumps and then he looked at jake and told him

"get jace to prepare for arrival and after doing it don't come back for next 2 hours"

jake wanted to look at him and tell him that he will face something he is not anticipating, he wanted to give head ups but zain's happiness was something jake didn't want to destroy.

"ok zain, I will try to get jace to get her without being seen"

zain nodded and then looked straight in jace's eyes. he patted him and then told him

"I want you to know thet I trust you, don't betray me for anyone, now go and hide yourself in plain sight"

jake nodded but his face showed the happiness and he was unable to control his happiness, he hugged zain.

"zain I swear I will not betray the royal family for anyone"

zain was happy to hear that and he patted jake head. jake moved backed suddenly when he realized that he just hugged the crown prince.

he swiftly moved away from zain and looked on ground feeling ashamed for pulling that antique and then mustering up his courage he uttered

"please forgive me for my impatience, your highness"

hearing those words from jake, zain starting laughing shocking jake and he felt like the earth was no longer under his feet.

zain then stopped laughing and then moved his arm to watch time on the watch present on his wrist.

"2 minutes are left, go hide and remember it's time to face reality"

zain repeated his line again making jake wonder and his thoughts were even making him shudder

' what kind of reality and who's reality are we going to face, I hope it's not related to someone I know or admire'

zain then shooed jake away and went to sit on his throne, aka the head seat while sipping coffee.

on the other side aleena was struggling with constant stones on the way, but the weird thing was that the was long but clean, not many hurdles were on the way.

' what is zain planning, why do I feel like something is coming my way, is tayiba and aahil save?'

aleena quickly shooked her head to avoid negative thoughts and think positively. aleena started hyperventilating.

'nothing bad can happen you will save your family this time, this time zain won't be able to hurt them, no I will not let him harm my family'

aleena started taking deep breaths and then started moving foward towards the direction zain texted her.

few minutes later aleena reached the forest house which looked elegant and showed wealth.

it can be a good place to settle with your family and enjoy life in silence. love and silence of loved ones are what a person desire to live in such place.

aleeena then shaked her head and ignored all her thoughts along with scolding her

' lena you are not aleena, you need to acquire the one thing zain took from you, your family now don't let him take your second family, be strong or else you will never win against zain'

aleena then confidently moved towards the house but her body can feel that she is being followed.

she was getting irked due to that and then shouted

"I know you are following me, now let me see you, I am curious on who zain think to be worthy of following me"

aleena commented with sarcasm in her voice making jace feel bad than normal, but aleena still was waiting.

"don't want me to know who you are? fine don't show yourself I will find you later"

saying that aleena started to move forward and then heard the noise of foot steps behind her and she suddenly turned shocking jace and saw him

Aleena was shocked to see jace not because he was handsome but because of the scar. she shouted

"you, you are the one"

she ran and grabbed the collar of jace and jace face turned all green due to not getting oxygen.

he patted on aleena shoulder and gestures her that he needs to tell something, making aleena to let him lose

" as much as I want to chat with you but you need to go to zain first, you have 10 minutes left, run aleena and save them, I will come meet you soon"

jace said that which shocked aleena but she noticed that she can't reach there on time and she started running but not before she told jace

"remember you owe me an explanation and meet me soon or else I promise you will get killed by me"

aleena said and then she went straight into the house to be stopped by jake, he was also a shock to aleena, and yes the scars again.

seeing aleena's reaction he knew that aleena knew what was hidden for long and before aleena can speak he said

"I know that you know, so for now stay silent, we will meet you, zain is waiting in living room and we are outside but zain banned our entry you are on your own, good luck"

jake said and then left the palace, after few seconds a click sound was heard. aleena knew that it's only zain and her here, she might be able to save her family.

aleena went straight towards the living room and saw zain drinking coffee black and he had a cigarette in his hand making aleena cringe in disgust.

'eww he drinks, I hate him before now I want him to smoke and die, he is ruthless and ruthless rulers are not needed'

aleena thought and then made herself appear in front of zain who started. scanning aleena like a creep making aleena almost puke.

he then noticed zain and he also looked at aleena and said

"welcome back aleena or should I say author lena,"

aleena looked at zain with disgust and ringe was visible on her face and she told zain

"zain seriously, who I am have no concern to you and stop with these pleasantries you never mean even a single word of them, stop thee act for God sake"
