Chapter 17 : The first stone to success

Ms Julie enters Prince's room and finds Ryan helping Prince with his exercise. Julie asks Ryan to move out as she wanted to talk to Prince about something important. Ryan was about to leave when prince stopped him and asked Julie to speak in front of him.

" Fine then listen, I want you to sign a document."

" And why do you feel that I will do so."

" Because.... Because..... Because.... I want to save you. I want to protect you, I want you alive."

" Are you insane? Do you know what are you telling?"

" I know what I am speaking? I want you to be alive , I don't wanna lose you. I love you a lot."

" Love ? You don't love me, but my money.I heard everything you spoke to my mom. Do you still think I believe you."

" I am really sorry for that prince, I was carried away (crying). I am really sorry."

"Please go away, I don't wanna talk to you!"

" Your life is in danger prince, please listen to me."

" Who gonna hurt me?"

" Your Ms...! Just I can't tell that, but your life is in danger."

" Please leave now, I don't wanna hurt you."

Julie leaves the room, Ryan was listening everything and didnt speak anything. Prince turned towards him and smiles saying that she had gone crazy. Ryan warns Prince that she might knows something. Prince hugs Ryan.

" How do you know that she knows something?"

" Though she is egoistic, but she really loves and cares you."

" Now you care about her haaa ! did you forget that she was the one who taunted you so much. She was the one who separated me from you."

" But see we are still together, Right?You wait I will just talk to her and come."

Ryan comes out and finds Ms julie in her room.

" Hi ! Ms Julie , Are you fine?"

" Hello! Yea I am fine. How come you are here?"

" I was just worried about you and also prince. Can you tell me who is the person who gonna hurt him."

" You are an outsider, so don't meddle with the internal matters. Just do your job."

" You said that his life is in danger, I had an idea to save him. But you don't want me to interfere then I will leave."

Julie thinks for a while and ryan gets up to leave.

" Wait ! What idea do you have to save prince?"

" First tell me who is the person who gonna harm him?"

" It's none other than but Ms Briganza, She is the person who gonna harm him."

Ryan eye brows raises and eyes opened and understood the plot of Julie easily.

" What? Ms Briganza! Why would she try to hurt him."

" I don't know but I heard her talking with someone saying that she would hurt Prince tonight."

" Don't worry ! I will protect him and stay by his side always."

" thank you alot Ryan."

Ryan in his mind" Why would Ms julie say that? Ms Briganza loves Prince as her own son, I can't beleive Ms julie is still with evil Sunita.But I still can't believe anyone. I will protect Prince from all dangers.

It was almost midnight, Ryan was in prince's room pretending to be sleeping on the sofa. Suddenly window opens and a person wearing black outfit enters the room. He had knife in his hand,heads towards the prince's bed. He raises his hand with the knife and slashes down two to three times. When the person raises the bed sheet, was surprised to find that those were only pillows. He quickly wanted to escape and turns back when Ryan hits him with a hard thing in his hand. That person falls on the ground, after some time he opens his eyes and finds himself to tied. He saw a man heading towards him, he was Ryan. Ryan had already removed the guys mask.

"so tell me Who are you ? and who told you to kill prince?"

" I won't say"

" If you won't say I have other means to force you.But I don't want to be harsh so speak up"

Ryan shows a knife and keeps that to his throat.

" Wait ! don't kill me I will speak."

" Go ahead!"

" My name is Sam and I am 28 years. I am very poor, so a lady asked me to kill prince in exchange to lots of money."

" Who was she?"

"I don't know her name. but she was young in her midst 26. please leave me."

"okay ! I will leave you. But you have to do me a favour."

" Sure"

Ryan explains everything to Sam and waits for the morning.

In the morning, Ryan puts up a act stating that Prince was dead. He started to shout and so everyone in the house came running. Ms Sunita, Ms Briganza, Ms Julie and other maids came to prince room. Ryan shows the duplicate blood on the bed to everyone saying that Prince was killed by someone. Ms Sunita starts her acting of crying, meanwhile sirene of police is heard.

" Who called police?"

" I called police Ms sunita, because it's a murder case and the culprit might be present in the house itself."

Police enters the palace and search for evidences in the Prince room.

" Ms Sunita, we need to seal this room for sometime, as it is a part of investigation."

" Do as per rules and make sure to capture the culprit."

" Ms Sunita, no one is allowed to leave the palace till the investigation is complete."

"okay."

Ryan sees that Ms Julie was sweating and was trembling too.

The investigation started. Police started checking the CCTV footages. Ryan had already planned everything with Sam. Police officers finds the video clip of Sam killing Prince with a knife. Ryan asks the police to arrest Sam immediately and ask him about the main culprit. Police leaves the palace and planned to continue the investigation the next day. Ryan had briefly imagined the situation about Ms Julie. It was half an hour past 8 in the evening. Ms Julie secretly leaves the palace. She had no idea that she was followed . Ms Julie enters Sam's house and asks him to leave the city immediately as police had known about the murderer. Sam refused to leave the city and was ready to expose Ms Julie. Ms Julie out of angry and also in order to protect herself, she opens her bag and withdraws a small gun and moves it towards Sam.

" What are you doing? Have gotten crazy."

" Yeah ! I have gone crazy. Just because of prestige and money I killed Prince."

" You said he cheated you."

" Yeah! he even cheated me. I loved him lot but that idiot only spoked about Rahul. I was fed of him. Now I got over him,so I don't wanna ruine this chance just because of you."

(A voice from behind)" It's good that you accepted everything by yourself Ms Julie."

" Ryan ! why are you here? and you heard everything?"

" ooops! sorry, Only I didn't heard your talk but few more members heard it clearly."

Police enters the room and captures Ms julie with the gun. Ms Julie tries to rescue herself but couldn't.

" Ms Julie you tried your best to kill him but you are no match to me."

" Who are you?"

" Ummmm! you know me . (close to ears) Rahul...."

Ms Julie's expressions changed when she heard his name.

" And don't worry Prince is still fine and healthy."

" What? Prince is alive?"

" Yes! thanks to my brain that it acted quickly and saved him from you."

👉Ryan had already transferred Prince to his room.

The first blocking stone was removed from Ryan's life. But life is filled with twist and turns. Never accept it to be care free🙏🤗
