Shazain was not greatly surprised listening to King Christo's words. He was expecting it a lot sooner, What he was not aware of was Seher heard the whole conversation.

"King Christos, Please do not kneel down. You do not need to Plead me"

"Shazain, I am sorry but please you have to say yes. Ariana will live in Greece, You and Seher can live here. She won't come in between"

"Well, King Christos This was unexpected "

"I plead you Shazain"

"I will marry Ariana for just namesake, I will speak to Seher"

"She will never agree, today she slapped Ariana. I am afraid for Ariana's life"

"Don't worry I will keep Seher away from Ariana, I promised to keep my savior happy. I am a man of my words.

You go and have a rest. "

"I will sit for a while with Ariana , I won't get sleep knowing my daughter is in pain"

"In that case, I will take your leave" When walking out Shazain bumped into a maid who was rushing towards Ariana's room. she panicked seeing Shazain.

Shazain just walked past her, He was waiting for Utbah in his study.

Back in Ariana's room, Christos was asking the maid "Is everything set"

"Yes my lord" The maid replied. Ariana got up

"Father, do you think Seher will fall into our Trap"

"I can see that Their relationship is already Strained and after tomorrow their relationship will end forever" He was laughing.

"Father, how did you come up with this Idea?"

"It was not me it was the same person who told me about Shazain's savior"

"The plan is simple, you will get to be the queen"

"What does the other person wants?"

"I don't know"

*******************************************************************

Utbah arrived late at night "What took you so long Utbah?"

"It was not an easy task"

"The plan was successful, but we have a problem"

"What?"

"We are surrounded, you should not have brought them back"

"I had no choice"

"Help will come but will take time, You have to stall the time" Utbah was whispering.

"He really thinks I am a fool, You know he begged me to marry Ariana,"

"What did you say?"

"Yes Ofcourse, but I have a bigger problem"

"What is it Shazain?"

"Seher. She is misunderstanding me "

"I advised you from the beginning to share everything with her"

"She is very young to understand everything. She thinks that I don't trust her"

"What are you going to do now?"

"Stall the time as you said. making up after a fight has its own pleasure, you won't understand as you are not married. I never thought that Seher can argue with me. I will make it up to her"

"Your grandmother was asking about you both"

"Let this matter resolve. we will shift there. My father wanted us to live in Nur Mahal"

"You need to keep Seher safe "

"I thought of sending her away but anyways King Christo's message was unexpected. let her misunderstand me for a while. She looks cute when angry and Jealous. I got a great sense of satisfaction knowing that She loves me a lot. I use to think my father was a fool by letting a woman cloud his senses. Now I understand his point of view. Seher is the air I breathe"

"Wow, I never thought that I will see this side of yours. Listen keep her away from the duo"

"I will strictly tell her not to meet Ariana and her father".

"All the best, Finally matters will be resolved"

"Where are you going?" Shazain asked Utbah.

"To congratulate your would-be-bride"

Shazain laughed."I am thinking of switching the groom"

"You look handsome when you laugh Shazain, long live Queen Seher"

*************************************************************************

Seher was relieved knowing her brother will be coming. She was determined to leave Shazain but the thought of going away from him was killing her.

When he asked her to start fresh and hugged her from behind She wanted to hug him back and tell him that he is going to be a father soon. She thought it was not his fault, he was being fooled. Then Ariana's words clouded her mind. How is it possible that he has no attachment with Ariana, the way he cared for her? He knows what she likes, What suits her. She needed to get away so that Shazain can decide what he wants.

Shazain was surprised that Seher was awake. It was days that he had been close with her, previously he would just exercise his rights straight away but now he was afraid to hurt her. She was already under stress because of him.

"Did you have your dinner?" He asked

"Yes," She replied, not even giving him a single glance.

Shazain suddenly screamed in pain"Ohhh"

Seher quickly ran to him,

"What happened?" She looked all worried.

"I got hurt, I think my wound opened"

"When did you hurt yourself, Shall I call for First aid"

"Nope,I will wash it"

"You are hurt, let me see how deep the wound is. I will apply turmeric paste" She unbuttoned his clothes

Shazain was enjoying all the attention. Seher circled him Looking for the wound.

"Where is it?" She asked.

Shazain held her hand and placed it on his chest. "The wound is here in my heart, My wife is upset with me and it has wounded me deeply"

"That was no Joke Shazain" he took her in his arms and placed his lips on her tender ones.

"Shazain.."

He lifted her up and dropped her on the bed. "Seher, can you not trust me?"

"How can I when you do not trust me"

"I do, Seher. I have started my investigation, MY men will keep eye on Ariana, Promise me one thing?"

"In whatever situation you will not meet Ariana and her Father"

"Ok" I will be leaving tomorrow and won't be seeing their faces

She had no energy to fight with him, she wanted to spend her last night with him in peace. She would have given herself but Shazain did not force her instead took her in his arms and slept.

Seher woke up early, She wore a white cotton gown. She looked like a butterfly waiting to fly.

"Come let us have breakfast together"

"You look very radiant today Seher"

"You know what day is it today?"

"No"

"Exactly on this day, sorry in the night I saw you for the first time, In my room"

"You remember it ?" He was so proud that this woman loved him very much. He was not good at dates.

"I am sorry to hurt you in the past, Come here Let me feed you today"

Seher had tears in her eyes. The first thing she will do after leaving was to ask her brother to Look into Christos.

Seher really looked very beautiful to him. Shazain pulled her into a tight hug. He would have integrated her into his body. he gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Shazain was about to leave when Seher came and hugged him again."Take care"

***********************************************************************

Seher was in her room with her maids "princess we are going with you, Please" They were pleading with her. Seher agreed.

"You both stand near the apple tree, I will join you shortly" Martha and penne left. Seher looked around for a final time and left with a heavy heart.

A maid interrupted her" Your Highness, princess Ariana is requesting to meet you"

"I am busy" Seher did not want to meet her. She did not want to defy Shazain.

Seher walked into the garden. It was unusually quiet Seher thought. Maybe Martha and penne have to do something with this.

"Seher.." She heard Ariana's voice.

"What are you a useless coward, running away from me"

"I don't have anything to do with you"

"Really, you do not want to congratulate me after all I am going to be your sister wife soon"

"What! are you drunk," Seher asked

"Oh! Did my Xain not inform you. I think he got bored of you"

Seher was not surprised."Wait for the day he knows you and fathers lies"

"Poor Seher still a child, My father fooled for shazain for years and he did not know the truth and do you think once I become his wife I will let him know the truth"

"I knew your coward of a father can never save someone. you people are rats who flee the sinking ship. You people lived on my husband's charity"

Ariana was angry at Seher's words. This hit her hard. Seher enjoyed seeing her face burning in humiliation.

"I forgot to ask did you really abandon your mother?"

" She is mother, Once I become the queen I will bring her back with respect, restore her position"

"I think your mother was fed up with your useless father. That is why she enjoyed with her young nephew. Did she tell you how good he was" Seher thought anyhow he is leaving and will shatter Ariana's ego?

"Remember this?" Ariana took out a dagger.

"How did you get it? " That was the same dagger her sister gifted her.

Ariana lunged at her.

Seher covered her belly with her left hand and raise her hand to stop Ariana. Seher did not realize the Ariana plunged a knife into her chest and handed the dagger to her. Blood was oozing out from Ariana's chest.

"Seher Fakhruddin Uzbeik" she heard Shazain's voice from behind. He ran and hugged Ariana.

" Ariana my child" Christos ran to his daughter. Soon a large crowd gathered.

" I told you Shazain, this woman will hurt my daughter"

Shazain turned to Seher" I told you to trust me, why do you want to kill your self"

" shazain, believe me, I did not do it"

Seher was hopeful that Shazain will believe her.

" What do you mean? My daughter will plunge a knife into her chest. There are only two of you here the dagger is in your hands"

Seher looked at her hand the dagger was pointing to the other side.

"Why did you hurt her Seher without any evidence" These words broke Seher with in. She hoped shazain will believe her words. her hope was crushed.

"Why would I want to kill her?"

"You were unable to bear that Shazain is going to marry her. I don't care about your background I will kill you, you dared to hurt my daughter" King Christos plunge at her.

"congratulation on your upcoming wedding" Seher was hurt beyond words.

"Touch me I dare you King Christos my family will shred you into pieces"

"Seher, I told you to stay from Ariana why did you not listen. Are so jealous of her? why can't you bear her presence, She was in my life first" Shazain was roaring in anger.

"Did you forget Shazain you abducted someone else fiancee, I also had Murad in my life first"

Shazain anger knew no bounds when he heard Murad's name. Jealousy seeped in his veins. he held Seher's neck tightly

"I will kill you"

"remove your hand" Seher was struggling to breathe. She kept Dagger in Shazain's hand and aimed it at her chest.

"You want to kill me for her?"

"Shazain, Kill her before I do it my self" Christos was screaming.

"Kill me shazain, avenge her If you think I did that"

She was betting shazain to believe her.

"Shazain, don't forget who saved you, You promised to marry my daughter but you married this vicious woman, I let it go but swear if you don't kill her I will do it myself. I will avenge my daughter"

"I say kill her Shazain" Christos was screaming.

Seher could not believe this Shazain really can kill her for his Ariana, she was torn from inside when she saw blood coming out of her chest.

"Why are your hands clean Shazain?"

regret flashed in Shazain's eyes. Seher just smiled.

"Seher" Shazain wanted to hold her hand but someone else held her hand. It was Ariana

"Xain, Please save me." she fainted in his arms

every one was shocked no one could believe that Shazain could do this to Seher. heir beloved Queen.

Shazain turned and couldn't see Seher, Just bloodline on the ground.
