In my Devil's Arms

Chapter 99: The conspiracies



Queen Kamini Singh Thakur was restless.

And worried. She had carefully planned every step of her life. She was a princess true. But her family had no money. Vindhagarh was an estate in shambles. Her forefathers lost it all on gambling, horses and women. She scoffed. When her brother Bhanu became the prince she found out about the less incpme and over expenditure.

" We ought to marry well", he suggested.

SO SHE LEFT HER STUDIES AND GOT MARRIED.

King Ranbir ruled Junagarh a rich and thriving estate. The local MP and MLA's were all his men. And Bhishma was a successful venture. Power, status and money. THE GLITCH. ....A son.. a heir to his fortune. Still he needed a wife and her estate influx of money. At 20 she married 33 year old king. Twin boys she birthed an year later firmly established her status as the queen.

BUT....Rajeev really proved dangerous. Genius kid. A business prodigy. A perfect heir.

But his father hated him. She capitalized on the situation and as he rebelled. To her delight he was out of kingdom, will and company. She became the sole owner. The piwer, status and money were all hers. Rahul and Rakesh were filial kids. She was modelling a perfect king in her son .

BUT NOW THE REBEL WAS BACK.

And all her plans were going poof in air.

" Sister you need to relax", said Bhanu.

" Can't", she said. " Just can't. You know Rajeev. You saw how dangerous he was at sixteen. He is 30 now. Rahul my boy! He is going to eat him up alive".

" Look he knows nothing about the situation here", said Bhanu. " Let him come. We have shareholders and ministers all with us. No one wants a change".

" The old goat does", she clenched her fists.

" Look I will get every information on Rajeev. And we will be one step ahead", said Bhanu.

" Rahul needs to get married. He is associating with art public more these days", said Kamini. " Did you ask Kenny to come"?

Bhanu sighed.

" She got this rubbish in her mind that she could make that estate work. And organizing parties is some kind of business. And Gaurav supports her".

" Kenny is young. Young kids are impulsive ", said Kamini.

" Your brother in law though is dangerous. He is cahoots with the old goat. Make sure to keep Kenny away from him."

Then tea arrived as they sipped it in silence.

Another conspiracy was happening on the other side of the world.

" They are digging information on you", said Maddy to Raj.

" Then give them the information", he smirked. Turning to Solly he said," The information that makes them lenient".

" On that", said Solly.

" What about the ashram ", asked Parry.

" They still have a few months", he replied.

" We need to be extra cautious", said Ro. " Your life would be in danger".

Raj nodded. " The moment we step on Indian soil the danger starts", he said.

" How long you need", asked Solly.

" A year and a half", replied Raj. " General elections in India are that far away".

Parry nodded. He asked, " Will yiu contest independent or with a party"?

" What do you suggest", asked Raj.

" A party, weak one which we will control", said Parry.

" Hmmmm. Sounds good", said Raj. " Get an inexperienced PR firm too. This will be fun".

" On it".

" Maddy you have the wil", Raj asked.

" Coincidentally my appa was the lawyer who prepared the will", said Maddy. " I asked a copy in secret and confidence. And he provided it. He, Gaurav, Salman uncle and you Ro hold 1% share each in company."

Maddy then explained what king Ranbir did.

" Your father gave it to you as he knew you would help Raj", said Maddy to Ro.

Raj felt an unexpected emotion towards his dead father. He just brushed it off.

" So we have 4%", he said in a business man tone.

" 7%", said Parry. " I bought 3% for Aditya Sharma".

" Good", said Raj. " Now lets discuss our plan".

King Randheer was having a conversation with Gaurav

" Convince the girls to bid for Raj's ascension Gaurav", he said.

" Why do you want it so much uncle", he said.

" Because it would spite Kamini completely and your girls escape marriage."

" Good plan", said Gaurav. " I'll see what I can do".

He tried talking to his daughters.

" We are a small firm G . Bidding for a prince", Kenny was speculative.

" Yes uncle we just said it to spite him", said Kiara.

" Look its not that you are winning the bid. And you will be aware of the process of a large bid", said Gaurav.

" Are you sure we can pull this off", said Kenny.

" I am always sure of you both", he said proudly.

They agreed.

Meanwhile

Ramcharan was praying to Shiva.

" Thank you Shiva. You gave my son back. But forgive me. I am a selfish man. I want my daughter back too. He will turn 30 soon. Where is Riya? I have dreamed of his marriage and my grandkids. Send her soon Shiva".

He called King Randheer

" I want Raj back", said Randheer. " Only he can keep Bhishma alive. Kamini is an eclipse."

" My personal experience ", said Ramcharan. " It is impossible to control him. He hates bondage and breaks all kind of rules", he said fondly. " More than saving he is out for destruction".

" Then we must find someone to pull him down. Lets get him married", said the old king.

" Exactly my thoughts", said Ramcharan

" Just one glitch. Raj hates women. Thanks to his step mother."

" Well if there are Kaminis then there are Jeniffers too. All we need is just one girl ", said his friend.

" A volcano she must be", said Ram.

The king smiled.

He knew one such fireball. If his plan works they will work together. Then lets see how it goes from there?

" We will search together", he said to Ram.

At an expensive hotel room in Mumbai

" Junagarh is working for me. The queen needs our help. And in return provides our organization safety", said a man.

" But boss if something happens", asked a man.

THE COBRA BOSS GOT UP. Vikram Oberoi a.k.a. Srikant foiled his plans. His Mumbai business and his headquarters were destroyed. Vicky locked his shares pretty well. He got nothing. Riya also was really smart at hiding the weapon. A weapon that was his death. Evil had told him that. And disappeared. Resurfacing after 18 years the evil ordered him,

" Claim your throne. In Junagarh".

" Well we have others in pocket too. So no worries, ", said the cobra boss. Now listen carefully. The black sheep of family is returning. If he joins our side we are going to win".

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT RAJEEV.

" Queen Kamini", enquired the man.

" Rajeev is an outsider. To manipulate him would be easier. Eliminate Kamini if she is useless", said the cobra boss.

He didn't know at that time he was talking about his doom.

But neither did Baldev when he met Srikant.

Because heavens conspired too.

A ten century old story was nearing its end .And the process has begun.

Agni was at Shiva's temple.

" Help your son Shiva", he said.

Shiva has set the stage of chess. Strategies, gameplay, conspiracies. Lets see who wins this war and who suffers a checkmate".

A few months before his birthday Raj landed in India. THE SAGA BEGINS.
