Jungkook and Dhruv walk around the high walls surrounding the palace trying to peek inside by jumping. They might have at least done this ten times at this point which makes me frustrated. "Can we just go inside?" I ask, trying not to sound rude.

"You can't enter an enemy's house without proper knowledge," Jungkook replies, grabbing the wall and trying to climb over it.

"There is no enemy here" I announce looking at his actions as he passes me a glance, like I am the one who is being a nuisance.

Last night when Jungkook told me that my family is safe and under the control of his men as he put it we all immediately made some strategies and boarded his private jet to reach here. It was easier to find their address as even a local passerby knew Aadriti's family.

Jungkook jumps down rubbing his palms together as he stares at me "Looking at your face, I would like to beg to differ"

"As much as I don't like to agree with him, he is right," Dhruv exclaims, coming to stand beside Jungkook. "We can't just go inside, what if they harm you again?" he asks in worry.

Reyansh taps my back coming behind me after he took the responsibility of talking to the guard stationed at the entrance. "They told me wait, till they conform with someone inside" He mutters oblivious to the trespassing attempts the other two have made.

"Call your wife, and tell her we are standing outside" Jungkook gestures at the phone I have been clutching in my hand tightly since last night, waiting for her call.

"How many times should I tell you it's not reachable!" I shout, surprising everyone as they look at each other before eyeing me.

"Chill dude I am just-" Jungkook starts but stops raising his hands in surrender as I glare at him. Dhruv pats his shoulder telling him to shut up as I march towards the front gate without waiting for anyone.

The guard tells me the same thing he told Reyansh and gestures to me to wait aside. I press my lips together looking down at the phone before I tap on the screen trying to dial her number but it's still switched off.

Is she alright? What if that Advay did something to her?

"Relax, let's wait for some time" Reyansh throws his arm around my neck giving me a small smile but I take a deep breath worrying about Aadriti.

"Agastya I will never talk to you! Please, I want to stay here!" "Agastya, they will not let me talk to you! why don't you understand! Please say something! Tell them to leave me!" Her shouts still echo in my mind as I try not to think about her words.

Aadrit would never do that, she wouldn't stop talking to me, would she?

My eyes fall on a guard rushing from inside the palace as I quickly walk towards the gate waiting for him to come near us. I hold my breath pondering over his answer as he says "hukum ne tumhe anadar bulaya hai"

(The king has called you inside)

My eyes light up with hope as I turn back to look at my friends. They all rush by my side as the guard gestures to us to follow him, escorting us inside.

"Are you sure it's not a trap? What if they try to harm him again?" Reyansh mutters from somewhere behind but I don't pay attention to their conversation as I stare ahead at the palace standing tall in front of me surrounded by guards.

"They shouldn't try anything funny or else I have this-" Jungkook answers, his voice sounding too smug causing me to look behind, catching the glimpse of a metal shining under his jacket before Dhruv turns my head around making me face ahead.
