RINA laid on the messy floor still in a daze as her eyes kept flickering open and close, trying to adjust with her body reactions.
“Give her one”, someone said.
A hard slap on her face and she fully opened her eyes instantly.
She looked around her and saw three boys staring at her, Sukhi and some two others.
She tried looking into their faces but she just couldn’t recognize them, they weren’t students of the school.
And hold on, where the hell is she? She looked around the room, it was slightly dark, dirty and dank. She felt so uncomfortable.
“I do hope you are enjoying yourself girl”, Sukhi said and smirked, she turned to him.
“What do you think you are doing?”, she asked, her voice wasn’t stable as she was now immersed in fear.
Sukhi laughed sarcastically.
“Exactly what you think I’m doing girl. You can’t escape from Sukhi”, he walked closer to her and she moved back.
“Now, that which you have been avoiding me from getting, I can now take it on a platter of gold”, he licked his lips and began removing his belt.
Her eyes widened in shock. What! What is he talking about? The hot tears came rushing down with full force.
“Sukhi please, I beg you in God’s name, don’t do this”, she pleaded, rubbing her palms against each other.
“What!”, he exclaimed and bursted into laughter.
“So, you can actually beg? Like, you know how to beg huh? Can’t believe this”, he continued laughing.
“Sukhi please, I have never done this before and I don’t intend doing it with you. Please here me out, please”, she continued begging and crying.
He went peeved instantly.
“Now will you stop this”, and a hot slap landed on her left cheek.
She winced and cried out more, her wails increased.
He smirked.
“You can shout all you want baby, this place is hidden. Nobody gonna ever find you, get that?”, he smiled wickedly, revealing his brown set of teeth.
She continued crying, crouching in her position.
“Are you stupid?”, he landed a punch on her stomach.
“Ahhhh!”, she shouted.
“I said stop wailing”, and he slapped her.
The other guys just looked on, doing nothing. They were just watching.
“Sukhi please, please don’t do this. I will give you whatever you want, anything, but please, don’t do this”, she pleaded.
He splayed his right hand on his face.
“My gee, I said stop! Your pleading irritates me.
“Crap! Why am I still even wasting my time here”, he said and bent over her, then began undressing himself.
She kept shouting and pleading, then one of the boys brought out a video cam. What! What is he gonna with that?
“Gonna take a sweet video of this”, he said licking his lips.
“Oh my God! Sukhi please…”.
A punch on her tummy interrupted her and she shrieked, holding onto her tummy and coughing slightly.
She was now gradually loosing her strength, her whole body and eyes were becoming weak, her vision, blurry. She felt life gradually leaving her.
Just then, the only door to the room flew open and some figures barged in.
Jeez! Everyone freezed and looked towards the door, my gee! Sukhi got up immediately and began wearing his trousers properly.
She continued staring, everything was blur though, but she could only recognize one person, and that was the prince!
“M…. Maharana?”, she stuttered, stretching out her left arm towards him, and coughing incoherently.
And the next thing, she passed out.

At the instant Raghav got off the phone with the driver, he took his car key and phones, then dashed out of the office.
Hastingly, and without sparing a glance at the people watching him at the hospital lobby and waiting room; workers and patients alike, he walked in large strides towards his car.
Immediately, he revved the engine and hit the road, heading for Vinam Graphics Designing School.
On the way, he picked up his phone and sent a short text to Zoya. Having done that, he tossed the phone into the pigeon hole then increased his speed.
Few minutes later, he was at the front of the school building. He halted and examined the environment. There was a few persons around as most of the students had already left for home.
He saw her car, parked close by and the chauffeur, standing next to it and speaking into his phone.
Without a second thought, he came out of the car, grabbing his phones. At the instant he came out, a black Pathfinder screeched to a halt behind his parked car and they both turned to it.
The doors of the car flew open and Zoya alighted, followed by three other guards, they were all armed.
“What exactly happened Larry?”, Raghav questioned the chauffeur and he exhaled deeply.
Zoya and the others walked up to them and bowed to the prince.
“My prince, I was here as usual to pick her up after school, but I couldn’t find her at the parking lot where she normally waits. I looked around thinking maybe she wasn’t out of the class yet, so I decided to wait”, he paused as they all listened with rapt attention.
“When I couldn’t wait any longer, I decided to call her, but her phone is switched off, even now”, he said.
Raghav sighed and handed one of his phones to Zoya.
“Here, I put a tracker on her, track her down”, he ordered.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Zoya bowed and took the phone, the others moved closer and together, they worked it out.
“I only hopes she’s around this environs”, he said.
They had worked on the phone for about twenty minutes, and Zoya snapped up his head.
“Done Maharana, I can see the signal now, it says this way”, he said and pointed towards the school building, and they all followed.
“No, one or two of you should stay behind”, Raghav said and they nodded in agreement.
One of the guards who had come with Zoya, and the chauffeur stayed behind.
It took them staright down towards the back of the building, and to a dilapidated storehouse at the far end.
They got to the storehouse and Raghav studied it. It looked old, probably an old storehouse which was in use long ago.
The entrance door was broken, and so they entered without any hitch. The phone kept directing them until they got to a room inside of the house and stopped.
Now, they could hear voices and screams of a lady. No doubts, that was whom they were looking for.
With all his might, Raghav kicked on the door and it flew wide open, only to reveal his Rina on the messy and dank floor, crying and begging. With some dirty jerk bent over her, undressing himself.
What! He was so sad and surprised at that moment to move a thing, as he just stood by the door staring at her on the floor, her left arm was stretched to him and she seems to be calling for help. Soon, she passed out.
In a rush, two guards plunged towards the boys and handcuffed them immediately. Zoya walked up to Rina and scooped her in his arms, then they walked out the room, with Raghav behind.

? RANA Hospitals ?
Raghav stood watching Rina as she slept on the bed. Few minutes ago when they had arrived the hospital, a doctor aside him had attended to her.
She was now placed on drip as she had losed a lot of strength resulting from the slaps and punches she had received.
Damn it! Who the hell tried stepping on the tiger’s tail? Who the hell?
He had already placed a call to her mother, Serena and she probably must be on her way.
The boys had already been taken to the house for torture, and he gonna be with them shortly.
Just then, the door flew open and Serena barged in. She was looking all inch agitated and tensed.
“Goodness me! What happened to my daughter?”, she asked rushing to the bed.
“Take it easy ma’am, she will definitely be fine”, he said to her.
She got to the bed and flopped down on it, beside her, crying hysterically. She had even forgotten to pay obsience to the prince.
“Who wants her dead for Christ’s sake? Who?”, she rhetorically asked, crying.
Raghav winced.
“Told you ma’am, it’s actually nothing. Rina would be taken care of, trust me”, he said to her.
“I hope so, she’s my last hope, God!”, she continued crying.
Raghav sighed and looked away. His phone rang out instantly, and he picked it up without checking out the caller.
“Maharana?”, it was the boss.
Raghav breathed in, them exhaled deeply.
“Speak up”, he ordered.
“The culprits, all the culprits involved either directly or indirectly has been found and apprehended”, he said.
Raghav smirked and nodded his head. Why not?
“Good job”, he applauded.
“The master planner has been apprehended as well”, he said.
“You mean they were sent by someone? I thought it was some jealous freaks from school huh”, he said.
“Yes my prince, they were sent by someone. You wouldn’t believe who this is”, he said.
“What!”, he lowly exclaimed and glanced at the bed, then back to nothing in particular.
“Someone you never expected, someone you would never believe could do such a thing”, the boss continued.
“Who?”, he growled the question, fisting his left hand as he was already boiling in anger.
“Your betrothed, Vidya”, he spilled it.
“What! Holy moly!”, he exclaimed.
