My Billionaire Prince [#Completed]

Part 22

Rahul couldn't sleep that night. He tried burying his head under pillows, but it didn't help. The moment he closed his eyes, her sad face showing how disappointed she was with him, covered his vision and made him think again and again, his decision to send her out of the mansion.

The more he thought about the events of before night, the more convinced he was of making a grave mistake. He should have given Ana the chance to explain her side of the story.

He couldn't believe Ana was capable of any violence. It was her innocence and honest behavior, that made her so attractive to him.

"What must have happened to force Ana to become violent?"

This question started bothering him all through the night. He decided to call Miso, first thing in the morning, to make sure Ana and prince were safe.

After his morning routine, he went straight to the kitchen and sat in front of Ahmed, for his usual breakfast. Just then Alia entered the kitchen, but turned her face away from Rahul.

Rahul bent a little and tried to catch her hand, but she made a angry face and moved away from him. He treated her as a sister and usually made fun of her and she too treated him the same way. He realized, she was behaving differently today and was obviously mad at him.

He tried to think, if he did anything to make her mad, but nothing came to his mind. He realized the only reason could be yesterday's incident.

He quickly turned towards Ahmed, but he too turned his face away.

"Hmm .. everyone here likes Ana and now they are mad at me. Yesterday, I supported Ria, because she was my fiancée and I gave her the benefit of doubt. There is no basis for our marriage, if I doubt her everytime there is a problem in this house. But now, it is crystal clear that the house staff is not in Ria's favor and she would have tough time living here, after our marriage. I can't kick out everyone. I need to find out the real drama behind yesterday's incident and prove Ria was right, else she would have a difficult time in this house. Looks like mom is not aware of this yet , else she would burn me alive." Rahul woke up from his thoughts as Ahmed placed his breakfast and orange juice in front of him.

"Alia, please go and get Miso immediately. I need to talk to him." He asked Alia, who was standing by the wall and watching him angrily.

"No! I won't." She replied angrily.

"Alia! behave .... go and call Miso." Ahmed shouted at his daughter.

"Hmph ..." she wagged her tongue at Rahul and left the room in search of Miso.

"Ahmed, I know everyone is mad at me for yesterday's incident. Please don't fault Alia, everyone else is hiding it, but she is expressing it, for my benefit, else I would never know."

"Its ok Mr Shah. You did what you had to do. I am only worried about Ana and prince."

"Tell me what happened." Rahul asked Ahmed.

Ahmed explained the entire episode in detail. The moment he described Ria hitting prince, Rahul stood up and came close to Ahmed. "What are you saying? She hit prince for spoiling a stupid dress!"

Ahmed was taken back seeing Rahul so angry, "yes, I think it was a special order and obviously cost lot of money. Also one of Ana's assistants was recording the event, she got it on tape." He replied trying to defend his story.

"That's stupid, no matter what, she can't hit a child. I am going to kill her." He threw the orange juice glass away and stomped towards Ria's room.

Half way through he stopped and turned back," ask the assistant to send me the video asap".

Ahmed stared in disbelief as Rahul hurried towards Ria's room. He never saw him so angry.
