"Everybody is waiting for you down. Let's go" Maria said.

Amayraah followed her. The palace was huge and beautiful. Chandeliers were hanging on the ceilings; the lights and beautiful fragrance was delight. She walked for almost ten to fifteen minutes and spotted the dining table. "You can go now. Everything will be alright. Don't be nervous" Maria said her with an assuring smile.

She approached the table as she heard the girl, "Oh my God, she is Ali..." but the girl was cut off by George.

"She is beautiful; I said you something like that earlier, didn't I?" George said and the girl nodded.

Amayraah felt like the girl wanted to say something else but this devil didn't let her.

"Come sit" A middle aged lady besides them spoke. She resembled much like the girl. Amayraah sat on the chair as Maria served her plate.

Amayraah tasted the food and to her surprise it tasted good. Fuck the table manners!

She dug in like a hungry lioness. She didn't care about anything.

"So this is Caroline, my cousin and Caroline this is..." George said.

George realized what he had done. Amayraah's death was in front of her, but Dollar was not sure if she is Amayraah or Alice. And if Amayraah reveals herself, she would land in big trouble.

Oh great! He didn't even know my name. Amayraah swallowed the food she had in her mouth as she introduced herself as "Amayraah."

'Shit! What had she done!' George thought as Amayraah and Caroline greeted each other.

"And she is my mother and George' aunt" Caroline said.

"Hello young lady. How you have been doing so far?" She spoke.

"Am fine, your Highness".

"Would you love to explore castle?" Caroline asked.

Hell yeah. "Um yeah. I have never seen a castle in real life so I would love to explore castle" Amayraah said.

"Caroline, do one thing, today you people explore the castle , watch some movies, freshen up and tomorrow, you can go for some shopping" Caroline's mother spoke.

"This sounds great!" Caroline exclaimed.

"Remember the things I have said Caroline" George said making the colors on face of Caroline drain.

*********

After eating dinner, Caroline and Amayraah walked together. Caroline led her into a room upstairs as she closed the door behind us.

"This is your room" Caroline said, "We will watch movies" with a cheering smile. "Just give me five minutes; I will bring popcorn" she said.

"Be back soon".

She returned back in few minutes and they sat watching series.

Though Amayraah was watching the movie, her mind was constantly reminding her, she is a prisoner and her friends are missing.

"Caroline, do you have a boyfriend?" Amayraah blurted. Shit! I shouldn't have asked that.

"Shh! I have one but my family doesn't knows about him" she said, "Oh no!"

"What happened?"

"I forgot my mobile" she said and ran away.

Minutes later, Amayraah looked to find an intercom ringing.

"Hello Amayraah. It's me, Caroline" she said on other line.

"Hey, are you coming?"

"Amayraah, it's late. Besides it's time to skype my boyfriend" She said.

"Oh okay. See you later".

"Okay bye, Goodnight" she told.

"Good night to you too"

Amayraah turned off the lights as she laid on the side of bed but couldn't fall asleep. Her mind drifted towards the boys. Amayraah worried about Agastya, Those morons had hit him too much, may he be okay! These are dangerous people and staying away from these people is beneficial. Amayraah jolted as she felt someone's presence on the bed.

"Who are you?" She asked as sweat beads accumulated on her forehead.

"Your future" came the answer and she knew the voice belonged to no one but George.

Shiver ran down her spine as her brain registered the legs to stand up and run but Alas! A huge arm snaked on her waist and pulled her over, making her face buried in his neck. His legs tangled her legs as she struggled.

"Calm down woman, let the man sleep" she heard him say.

My foot! "Um can you sleep somewhere else?"

"Princessca, I don't like to repeat myself. So listen my darling, from now you would be sleeping every night with me, is that clear? Good, now go to sleep, my sweetheart" He said.

In other situations, if he hadn't kidnapped her, Amayraah would have melted at his words and over his husky voice.

Truth to be told, George was worried, he had did the mistake of losing Alice, he can't repeat the same. Amayraah was safe till she was in George' protection, but she didn't know this.

Next morning Amayraah woke up to find George on same bed, his hand holding her arm. She slowly removed his hand and, without making any voice; she unlocked the door and went out. Where is the exit?

"Hey Amayraah" she heard.

"Good morning Caroline".

"Good morning to you too" she greeted.

"Where are you going?"

"I just came after jogging" she said. "Mom has asked for lillies, so am going to garden. Mind accompanying me?" she asked.

"I will love to accompany you in this case"

Caroline bought her hand forward, "Hifi Alice" and within a flash of second her face paled.

"Um I am Amayraah" she said as she tried her best to act normal.

"Sorry, actually Alice was my best friend, so it was just slip of tongue" Caroline rectified.

Lie. It was no slip of tongue.

"It's okay".

And then they made their way towards the garden, as Amayraah followed Caroline.

The garden was a huge beautiful one. There were almost hundred types of different colorful flowers.

"This is beautiful"

"It is" Caroline smiled sheepishly and said.

Amayraah looked around, for any hidden ways as Caroline collected the flowers. They exited from the garden together with flowers in our hand.
