INDIAN BRIDE OF ROYAL PRINCE

Chapter - 9

Ruhi's pov

When I was revising my notes for one last time for tomorrow's exam since Kavya has gone. Then I heard choti maa voice behind me as she is calling me,

"Ruhi", "Ruhi"

"Yes, choti maa," she enters in my room with plate of food and keep on the near table, "Ruhi, have your dinner as you did not came downstairs to have dinner and after that, go down to sleep early as you woke up last night very late... Alright!," she said as caressed my head with love.

I nodded like a small child with a smile.

"Choti maa I was studying thats why I didn't come."

"It's ok, I knew it... You would be busy... Leave it now"

Meanwhile I suddenly remember Riya," Choti maa, Has Riya eaten her dinner?" I asked.

"Of course- I already told you she never stays hungry for a minute...Well, you have your dinner and sleep early and I am going to call your chote papa as he hasn't arrived yet?"

"Okay, choti maa," and then she leaves from here to call him, I know my chote papa stays always busy with his work as he works as an accountant in Raja ji's palace and he is most trustworthy person of Raja ji. He is doing this much of hardwork for my lovely younger cousins' fees, as my little brother Rohan- now he is studying in 10th standard in private school which cost more than lakhs annually and he wants to become doctor, his studies will need a lot of money in the future, if by then I become a professor, then I will definitely help them as like my choti maa who always helped me in fees of my studies, and I know he will become a good doctor ahead as he is also hardworking and we both have

one similarity- he is also a bookworm like me, and my little sister Riya, is pursuing her Bcom 1st year from private college.

Now I eat my food, after that I will go to sleep, otherwise she will get angry with me if she sees me awake.

"Why he hasn't come yet," she dials his number

Meanwhile, she heard door bell.

As Ernest reached Davies mansion with bloodshot eyes and throws his coat on the couch,

A middle age man comes near him and stuttered, wh-at ha-p-p-en Sir?

He picks a vase near him and throws near Butler feet, and roared,

"Who the hell are you, to whom I give my answer, don't cross your limits Mr. Butler...UNDERSTOOD?

Butler flinched to seeing him in immense anger and he was trying to say 'yes' but words are not coming from his mouth.

"I SAID, YOU GOT IT,"

"Y-Yes Sir,"

After that Ernest goes towards Bar area to leave him there in a daze.

Butler's wife means head maid went near him and shook him, what's wrong with you, why don't you stay away from him when he is angry.

"I thought he would have changed in these 6 months, but–"

"He can't change ever, so pls stay away from him when sir is not present here,"

"Okay!" He leaves.

Ernest's pov

I'm feeling terrible, how can dad leave those fu*king bastards, I know he would have already known, what that's fu*king bastards done Afterall?...but still.

I slammed hard on the table to thought that and starts drinking alcohol one by one glass but suddenly my mind stuck on one thing why dad has done that, actually? and then I called James,

"James find out the whole truth, why dad left those bastard? I want all details in a while...GOT IT..."

"Y-Yes Sir,"

I hanged up the phone and gulped one glass again.

Then I heard familiar voice behind me. "Ernest," this voice was of Edwin and he walks towards me,

"Ernest, what the hell are you doing here?" He said while snatching my glass,"Have you gone mad? What's wrong with you?"

I turned towards him and said,"Edwin, I am not in mood so pls go away and leave me alone,"

"No way, I will never leave you in this state... Pls tell me what happened?" He said while sitting on chair beside me.

I know he is also stubborn as me but yet I said, "Nothing," and gulped another glass of drink.

"Well...if nothing happened," He pour alcohol in glass for himself too and asked, "then why your face and eyes turned red and why you are drinking continuously?"

I didn't want to discuss as now but he will not let me go so I have to tell him,"Edwin, I didn't understand why dad stopped me to ruin them." I know he didn't understand whom I am talking?

So he asked with furrowed brows."Who are you talking about, Ernest?"

"Tristan and Francis, those fu*k*ng bastards, because of them I lost a important project earlier too." I said as loosing my temper.

He thinks something and replied,"Calm down bro, maybe there is some reason behind it... That's why uncle has done that."

I also thought same as him, "Edwin, I also thought as like you and I already told James to find out the real truth."

He seeing toward me in confused look, I know what he is thinking," Edwin I know what you are thinking, then why am I angry?... Right!"

"Yes", he said as sipping his drink.

"Because both of them are betrayers and I don't tolerate betrayers around me and because of those fu*king bastards we have lost very important project earlier, as they had bought one of our staff and he had sold important info related to that project to them, due to which we loosed it, in which WE WORKED VERY HARD, Edwin,"

"He placed his hand on my shoulder and said, But Ernest it was your starting period in business and you didn't have that much experience and I know you don't like betrayers then and still, and i know you had tortured that betrayer to his death but now you are top buisness man of this country...So forgets this nonsense and cheers," he took his glass near me....

I saw towards him and cheered with him and I agree with him too but I still thinking maybe there is really a big reason which I don't know till now....and I was away from here for 6 months so perhaps...Then I heard my phone was vibrating–

I smirks to saw that name, and picks my phone,

"James, tell me entire story quickly,"

He told me every single info related to them and I'm glad to know whole truth about them and then I hanged up my phone.

Edwin asks to seeing me glad, "what happened?"

I told him everything, he also glad to heard that news.

"Ernest, this is the great news now no one can save their reputation and their fu*king illegal Business."

"Yes, Edwin previously they have saved themselves by impose all their lies to that betrayer but now I will not spare them." I said with gritted my teeth and he too agreed with me.

"Ernest,"

"Yes," I asked while sipping my drink.

You didn't asked about one person since when you come here in London...Edwin asked while placing his glass on table."

I'm confused who are you talking about? I gazing at him with confusing look ,

"I don't believe this you really forgot our Bruno Ernest,"

Heard that name I suddenly remember my dog pet," oh Edwin, It's not like that, you know, how my day has been today? But , where is he actually?" I asked immediately and I really want to see him right now so asked him, his whereabouts?

"My house....as you were not here, so I taken him with me in my house as he was missing you a lot and here Davies uncle don't like pets in home so–."

"Yes Edwin, I was stays very busy there so I hadn't much time for talking but next time I'll take Bruno with me in my next trip."

"Good, it will be good for him as he love you a lot Ernest"...I nodded....

"Edwin, I am thinking to shift in my new house–"

"Why Ernest?"

then we heard voice behind us and there were two persons–Uncle Davies and My Dad.

He comes towards me and ask, "why do you want to shift Ernest? Don't you want to live with me?"

Looks like he is getting emotional but why? I have never been with him because I did my schooling in boarding school and completed my further studies by staying in hostel and after that college I started my own company ED-A so I am always on business trips so I didn't spend much time with uncle and dad.

I looked at dad, he was continuously glaring at me like I have done some big sin. But seriously now I want to live alone as I don't want to bother him more, and his son, Liam is coming in a few days as his studies has completed and we don't like each other even little bit so I said to persuade him,"No uncle, it's not like that I just wanna be alone for some time...That's it.... So don't think I don't want to live with you–"

"Now, you will not have to need live alone, Ernest?" Said Dad abruptly, but I got confused to hear him and asked, "But why Dad?"

"Because tomorrow I about to announce publicly that you are my eldest son, Ernest Edward Arthur, elder prince and crown prince of the country," I was completely shocked to hear him and thank God nobody was here to hear my identity but why did dad take this decision abruptly.

I asked, "but dad, suddenly, why?"

"Yes I know, its my sudden decision but Ernest, this is right time to show everyone after all who is the crown prince?"

"I agree with you Uncle," said Edwin interruptedly. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

But somewhere I didn't agree with decision but if dad has think it so maybe it would be his right decision,"I agree with you dad" he comes towards me and embraced me in his arms and said,"I am proud of you my son."

And he patts on my back with gladly. And I am also happy to see him that much happy.

"But Ernest why are you not angry with me?" He asked still embracing me,"Dad, now I know real truth so there is no question of getting angry with you"...I know he become more happy to hear me, then he said,"Ernest, I am glad you figured out whole thing before getting angry with me.I'm sure you will make wise decision ahead."

"Yes Dad,"

"Alright, let's have dinner together, and then Ernest, take rest as you must be tired." Said dad.

"I nodded and we all headed to the dining table to have dinner..."
