Ahaan POV
I was working in my office when Karan ran inside my office. His face clearly says that something is wrong.
He sat infront on the chair in front of my desk and drank the whole glass of water.
"what made Karan Rastogi aka The DEVIL scared like this." I said in sarcasm.
"you wouldn't like to know" he said in angry manner
I can sense something serious I gave him a questioning look and he responded.
"She is getting married... Today"
His words made me mad as hell. He knew I wouldn't like this type of joke but his expression clearly says he is serious.
"what the fuck karan?"
"I am right, I just found out about her... Marriage. Her family didn't really invite their business partners and they kept it private. And I was also busy with some work so..." before he could complete the sentence and flipped the table upside down.
I couldn't believe my ears.. She is getting married. The hell I will let her marry someone else.
"let's go" I said.
Karan followed me. As I left the office Vikram was standing infront of the car waiting for me. Me and karan sat at the back seat while Vikram sat infront next to driver.
He explained that karan just informed him about this. While they drove the car two other SUVs were following our cars. They were my bodyguards. We won't really need them as no one would dare to stop MAHARAJ but it's there job and I let them do it.
While sitting I started remembering when I first time saw her in hospital and when we talked for first time.

2 days ago.

I was on my way to the maheshwari hospital, Dev was taken there because of his injury, karan was along with me.
I have many illegal business about which normal people doesn't know. Even if they do it wouldn't be a problem as no one would dare to question me.
Dev was one of my men who was high in ranking. He was good in his work but only wrong thing he did was to reveal secrets about my illegal work to the Chief minister.
He was an idiot because he didn't knew that even the PM can't stop me. That CM immediately informed me about Dev's work. He didn't even mad a single scratch but I didn't like his betrayal.
Suddenly he wanted to play as honor citizen who wouldn't do any crime. If he wanted this he could have asked me directly may be I would have let him go without any harm but the choice he choosed will only bring him to death.
I wanted to play with him a little so I decided to get him into an accident. Our private hospital ambulance was ready to pick him up and send to the torture cell but before they could do anything, another ambulance arrived first at the accident scene and they immediately took him to another hospital.
It was 'Maheshwari hospital' which was new here. Since it was open for public we didn't really tied with them. I didn't wanted to make a scene so I just decided to send umair there to pick up dev.
Umair was captain of royal guards and my direct first bodyguard, everyone new him and his title as royal guard was enough for others to not stop him.
I wasn't planning to go there but karan informed me that his companies executive director, Mr. Rajat pawar was admitted there.
I wasn't in mood to meet anyone so I just decided to drop karan at the gate.
Before I could leave I saw the royal guards was standing there without any movement. I sensed something wrong and decided to give it a check.
I moved towards one of the corridor along with karan and from far I can see nurses trying to cover Dev's wound.
This was my first time seeing someone working that efficiently while there are tons of tall men intimidating them.
Umair asked them to let them take dev with them but nurse refused seeing his critical condition.
I couldn't believe that someone could stand and refuse a command from royal guards.
"what do you think you are doing"
I heard umair screaming, he was shouting at the nurse who was trying to take dev in emergency ward.
"sir patient is in critical condition, please let us handle this, he has already loss alot of blood at this rate he might go to coma" nurse pleaded infront of him
"don't you dare move, we are taking him with us" umair said angrily
"but sir you're friend needs treatment" another nurse said
"firstly he is not my friend and secondly we are here to make sure he doesn't survive" umair said with a smirk
Umair is one of my trusted men. He is good in his work. Dev wasn't supposed to be here but people bought him here in this hospital. Well we tried to make it look like accident but we now has problem here.
From a shade, I am watching umair screaming at hospital staffs who are trying to stop him from taking dev away. I really hate when people try to interfere in my business.
AUTHOR'S POV
"this is getting out of hand, I will go in" karan said and was about to go in when they heard her voice
"what's going on here" Inaya said in her soft tone.
She was wearing her hospital uniform and it looked like she just came out of surgery. She moved towards Dev but got shocked to see his wounds.
"what are you doing here, take him to ER" she shouted at one of nurse
Nurse immediately started moving stretcher but umair held it from other side.
"I said don't you dare move" he glared at the nurse
"excuse me, can't you see patient is in critical condition he needs a surgery immediately" she looked at umair
"well doctor, listen carefully, he is our prisoner and he is not getting any surgery" he said looking straight in her eyes
"and who are you to decide that" she replied without any hesitation
Umair shocked at her rebel, he is not used to of anyone speaking to him like that.
"I am umair Ansaari, and he is a prisoner of maharaj. I guess this information is enough"
Everyone was shocked to hear this. Maharaj is richest in india and is known for his unforgiving nature, no one can go against him, no one dares to speak infront of him.
Nurse immediately stood back leaving the stretcher. Umair smirked looking at there faces. He understood now no one would dare to stop him.
His men came infront and started moving the stretcher, umair was about to leave when Inaya took a step and held the stretcher, getting attention of everyone.
"Just because his is your Maharaj's prisoner that doesn't mean he will die like this" she looked at them.
Umair turned around facing her. Everyone was shocked to hear her words, no one thought that anyone can dare to stand up infront of these royal guards.
"do you even know what you are saying, are you new here?" umair asked with shock and confusion
"yes I know very well, and no I am not new here. I am a doctor and I won't let anyone die here" Inaya said with her straight voice
Umair and other guards were shocked by her response and hospital staffs were scared. Only one person who was enjoying this was ahaan from far.
"seriously you are smiling," karan shook his head. "I will go inside'
Karan was about to step in but ahaan stoped him from moving forward and shook his head in no.
"nurse get the OR ready and ask doctor tia to come immediately" Inaya commanded to one of the nurse.
That nurse immediately followed her orders. Before they could do anything else, umair pulled out his gun and pointed at Inaya.
She didn't moved a bit and stood there with confidence.
"looks like you forgot doctor. You should save innocents not criminals, didn't you took an oath" he said while his gun was at Inaya's head
Hospital staffs were scared to death, no one moved from there place.
"I know my oath very well Mr. Umair. But I think you might have a misconception about it, let me make it clear." she said firmly
"I will not permit consideration of religion, nationality, race, party politics, or social standards to intervene between my duty and my patient. The health of my patient will be my first consideration"
She read the oath without stopping. Umair was stunned from her bravery. No one till now has ever shown this much confidence infront of royal guards.
"what the hell are you, you think you will get away with this" umair said with shocked eyes.
Before Inaya can reply dev condition started worsening. Inaya immediately looked at him. Pulled out her stethoscope and heard his breathing, she checked his vitals on the screen.
"give him 10mg epinephrine, and ask anesthesiologist Rita to come to OR fast" she said to nurse.
"and who will perform the surgery, is anyone here who can disobey maharaj's command" umair said looking at Inaya folding both his arms.
Inaya looked around and saw everyone looking at the ground. She understood their fear.
"I will" she said looking umair "I am not scared of performing my duties"
Before he could react, he got a call from karan who asked him to get back and leave dev in hospital. Umair left after giving pity look to Inaya. He thought Maharaj might punish her in his own way, little did he kill knew he was the one who has to face ahaan's anger.
Royal guards left leaving hospital staffs in confusion. Inaya commanded everyone and they got back to work.
Inaya immediately went to surgery followed by tia and Rita, surgery went well. They left the OT when tia called Inaya
"weren't you resigning from work" she said in sarcasm
"tia yaar, listen to me I don't have a choice" Inaya cried giving a puppy look to tia
She ignored and walked to womens changing room. Inaya followed her
"tia aren't you gonna talk to me, I might not meet you again" she said while standing aside tia who was talking out her bag from locker.
"what do you want to say. You are just leaving your duty just because you are getting married" tia gave an irritating look
"you know I don't have a choice"
"of course you do, stand up for yourself, leave your family if that is necessary. I would have never stayed with people who are like this to me"
"If only this was simple" she sat on the chair and tia sat beside her.
Tia placed her arm on Inaya's shoulder "you can make it girl. You just fought with some royal guards to save someone life, this proves that you are strong."
"no, I am pretty sure those guards are not worst then my family."
"but you just showed that patients life always comes first. Do this for those who might need your help in future"
Tia said and stood up and started changing her dress. Inaya was still deep in thoughts.

She was about to leave for home when she saw two men in suit standing infornt of car in parking lot. She ignored them at first but they followed her and stood in front of her.
"excuse me" she politely said
"Maharaj wants to meet you" one guard said and pointed towards a black Rolls Royce.
"what do you mean... Why?" she was confused
"you can ask him yourself" they were about to hold her hand but she took a step back and stopped them.
"no need to touch me" she firmly said.
She walked towards the Rolls Royce and one guard opened the gate. She stopped a little afar from the door.
"I am not getting inside. If anyone wants to talk to me they can come outside" she said crossing her arms.
Guards got confused, that didn't knew what to do they couldn't force her because of their Maharaj. Before they could do something Ahaan got out from the opposite side, he walked from back of car and stood infront of her.

Ahaan POV
When I heared her refusal of sitting inside I was amazed. Her words bring a smirk on my face.
I walked outside and stood infront of her. She was wearing simple kurti and leggings with matching dupatta. Her one hand was holding her bag while other was holding her white coat.
I gave my guards signal and they immediately spread. All the guards stood around me almost 18 meter away in a circle, there back was facing us.
She was shocked to see all this. I was clear she didn't knew anything about me.
"what... Who are you?" she said in low voice
"I am Ahaan Singh Rathore" I pulled out my hand for handshake but she stepped back.
"you might know me very well, you just saved the my prisoner" I reminded her of Dev who she saved
"and?" she gave me a questioning look
"And you didn't stopped even when Royal guards stopped you" I raised my eyebrows
"I couldn't stop, he was in critical condition"
"it was a royal command and you could have been killed or worst send to prison for your disapproval"
Her eyes widened by this. She definitely didn't had a single idea about this.
"what do you mean.. I... I.. was just doing my duty" she got scared
I smirked at her fear.
"that's the only reason you are still alive. Most importantly it's you. If it was someone else I wouldn't have bothered to shoot them"
She gave me a shocking look. I sat inside the car. Everyone got into the car and we were about to leave when I saw her still standing in same position.
I was about to ask her if she needs a lift but I stopped when I saw another female doctor calling her. I signaled my guards and they drived outside.
I didn't knew what to do about her. I couldn't bring myself to hate this girl. There is no way I am torturing her. I just wanted to protect her.
When I heared umair screaming at her, my blood boiled but by looking at her unaffected face gave me a satisfaction. She wasn't a weak girl.
I have seen many types of doctors. Some would only take easy cases because they are worried that if something goes wrong their image will tarnish. Some doctors doesn't even know anything about medical while others have the knowledge but get scared easily.
There are many corrupt doctors who are working under me. They do not work to save life but they do as I told them to. Whenever I want to torture someone there medical equipments and expertise help alot.
Mostly doctors work for money, but it is my first time seeing someone really getting worried about a patient. She didn't got scared by umair and stood strongly infront of them.
There are very few people who follows there oath and she is one of them.
But that's not the only case she is extremely gorgeous. She is around 5'3, her long hairs and little bags on her face. She looks extremely cute in her high bun. Her uniform really suits her.
I couldn't bring myself out of her thoughts.
We reached Rathore's Palace, driver stopped in front of main door. One of men opened the car door and I stepped outside. I looked at my watch and it was past 10 p.m.
I walked down the corridor and entered main dining area
I saw everyone already sitting in their place. No one dares to take any single bite without my presence.
Rajmata (Ahaan's grandma) was sitting next to my chair. Opposite to her chair was empty. Next to empty chair maa was sitting and opposite to her was my father. Next to him chacha Jii and next to him was Aryann. Aryann was sitting next to maa.
This was their usual position. They always leave that one single chair next to me because it was for my future wife.
I never asked them to not eat without me but they did it out of respect for their king.
I walked towards them and they stood up in respect. I ignored and sat on my chair. Servants served the food and I completed it.
Dinner went in silence and I left without saying anything. I walked into my study and sat on my chair
Someone knocked on the door. I allowed and he came inside.
"what is it Vikram?" I asked while my eyes still focused on laptop
"Here are the data you asked for" he placed two files on the table.
"and?"
"here is everything about her you asked for" he gave me a pen drive.
I installed it in computer and saw her resume. I raised my eyebrows looking at Vikram
"she is daughter of Shahid Khan?"
"yes sir, one and only daughter. It is weird, he never let womens from his house work neither allow them to walk around in public."
"interesting"
"she graduated from London university and did masters from Jaipur university. She is youngest cardiac surgeon of her hospital and very experienced in trauma cases. She was top in her school as well as in collage and received many awards. But she never personally took them. There are very few pictures of her. She doesn't have any social media account."
"why wouldn't she completed her masters from London university?"
"no idea. She didn't had any friends and she lived with her brother."
"Mr. Khan definitely didn't let her study properly."
"but why are you so interested in her boss?"
I looked at him with smirk. No one dare to question me except for him and karan.
"who knows, you. Might get a queen" I said in sarcasm
Vikram was shocked he was not expecting this.
"wait.. No.. This can't be true" I heared someone's voice coming from behind.
I looked there and it was karan standing.
"what the hell, how did you came inside?" I shouted at him angrily but he wasn't bothered at all
He waked and sat infront of my desk.
"seriously.. I did found it weird when you stopped me and asked me to call umair and tell him to leave immediately. But I thought you did that because you didn't wanted to create a scene but this is unbelievable." karan said with surprisingly
"even I can't believe this" replied Vikram who was still in shock.
I shouted sighed and shook my head.
"both of you should leave now" I glared but none bothered to move.
"seriously Ahaan I want details now. Tell me everything now"
"I got nothing to tell you." I gave him a deathly look which made him stop
"but Maharaj I am worried about one thing. How will she become the queen when she is a Muslim"
Vikram words got my attention. I wanted to punch his face for bringing religion inbetween but at some point he was right.
I am not a religious person but I do respect mine and every single religion. I don't discriminate people with their religions and I won't mind even if she is Muslim, but for her it must be a important.
"common Vikram why would you discriminate people with their religions" karan said looking straight at vikram
"I am not discriminating her, even if it won't matter for us or her but it matters for world. People will say bad things about her" Vikram showed his concern
"No one would say anything, Ahaan if you are planing to make her yours, accept her as your queen and then no one would dare to raise any question" karan firmly said and looked straight to me.
I nodded in response. We talked for a while then both of them left the room.
Karan was right, no one would dare to question me but at same time Vikram's concern was also correct.
Even if I accept her, she would never be able to accept my world. Khan family is known for being religious and she must be same.
That doesn't mean I will leave her..
