[ CHAPTER LV ]
Mayurakshi quickly went to meet Amey in his room. As soon as she stepped inside she saw him lying on bed. Seeing him there she sighed. At least it wasn't him involved in the kidnapping matter.
"Go, wake up the prince" she ordered. The maids behind her went forward to wake Amey up who groaned in frustration and yelled at the maids startling them.
"How dare you to disturb my sleep?"
"You are sleeping here soundly, do you even know that Nandini is kidnapped?" Mayurakshi told him.
Amey looked at her narrowing his eyes, "what? Kidnapped? Really?"
"Emperor is really angry and suspicious of everyone. He even doubted that you are involved in this matter. You must not make any mistake and anger him more. These days you better behave and don't let him get any chance to blame you. Because of Chaitrangi your reputation is already damaged. If something happens again then you will be destroyed completely"
Amey frowned, "mother, why are you disturbing my sleep like this? Being confined wasn't enough that you came to lecture me now?"
"What kind of attitude is that Amey? I am your mother. Whatever I am doing is for your own good. Do you take me as your enemy to treat me like this?"
"Mother, my head is spinning. I drank little much. I want to sleep. Can you please leave now?" Amey frowned.
Mayurakshi narrowed her eyes at him. His eyes were red and body was slightly swaying. Of course she could smell the heavy odor of the alcohol from him. But because she was desperate to confirm she ignored everything earlier.
"Amey how long you want to stay like this? Drowning yourself in drinking this is how you want to end your life?" Mayurakshi couldn't help but feel more angry. Is this the son she gave birth with too much hope of living the life she dreamt once? What happened to it? He couldn't live up her dream yet even destroying his own life in alcohol.
"Mother what do you want me to do? My pregnant wife ran away. I divorce my first wife. Even though I am a prince, I couldn't possess the rights and powers. Uncle is holding onto everything now, the ultimate one for the power. Where do I stand in this palace? Even those servants has better reputation than me" Amey said but at the end his voice slurred due to the alcohol effect.
"Isn't it your own doing? You are in this state because you choose it yourself. You have put more efforts into pleasure than the throne. Those who chose a moment of pleasure than power they will end up like you. I have warned you before but you went on having affair with that bitch and see where you are standing at this moment. Now what's the point of regretting?" Mayurakshi snapped.
Amey felt irritated. "Mother I have no desire to have such conversation. She already ran away, aren't you always keen on your arrangements then how did she left without you knowing a thing?"
Mayurakshi's eyes widened, "how dare you? You couldn't control your own wife yet accusing me? What do you think I am? Your wife's caretaker to keep an eye on her every second? How can I have such son? Ridiculous! Ridiculous! How could I give birth to an idiot like you?"
This time Amey burst out in anger, "so what? Did I asked you to give birth to me? Is it my fault? If you think I am a shame to you then you are even more shameful as a mother. Father died early handling the throne to uncle instead of making me the crown prince which I deserved. He didn't even left a will for me to take the throne yet handled every single power to uncle. And you, what you did? You couldn't even ask for my right. You couldn't even secure my position and I was left with a mere title of prince. Who wants it? You could only sit back and enjoy your life and do nothing. I guess father knew you are no use so he entrusted everything to uncle leaving his own son with nothing"
Mayurakshi stood there shocked, looking at the man who is her son, the child she gave birth to. Raised him with love and care. Spoiling him to the core. Now that son of her accusing her for being incapable as a mother? Throwing all the blame on her for his life? Is this the reward she was expecting to get at the end? From her own son?
"You....." She bite her lips clutching her chest. "How dare you to say that? Because I am your mother you could live your life without any problems till now. Your pig head couldn't think things through yet blaming me for that? A son like you I better wish not to have. All the efforts I put for you had gone wasted, in this case, I don't want to see your face anymore. You better be left alone" she gritted her tery then turned around leaving the room.
Amey glared at her back before kicking the bed in anger.

"It has already been hours but there's still no news about Nandini? I want to know who actually dared to do such things? Kidnapping right in the palace?" Somakshya felt restless. Her eyebrows furrowed as she said.
Biuja was concerned about her health, "your highness his majesty is searching for her. Why don't you sleep for a while, you haven't slept for the whole night"
Somakshya turned to look at her, "what are you saying? How can I sleep at this situation? Nandini is kidnapped and moreover she is not alone, she is pregnant. For a first time pregnancy it needed to be handled with care. A little mistake could lead to severe outcomes. I don't know how she is at this moment"
Biuja was silent for a moment. She knows how difficult the current situation is. Even his majesty looked like about to lose his mind. She just hope that they could find Nandini soon.

In the dark basement, a figure was lying on the floor. Hands and legs tied tightly the figure suddenly woke up from the deep slumber and was confused for a moment before struggling to get free.
Nandini lifted her head to look around. It was a dark room with a little source of light inside. The cold floor beneath her made her body shivered. Suddenly she was worried about her child. She don't know what actually happened when she was unconscious. She wiggled to free her hands but the rope tied was too tight.
"What I am going to do? How come I ended up here?" She mumbled to herself. This is her worst situation. Even though she knew she will be rescued soon but waiting till that time comes will be too hard. "Who did this?" She clenched her fist.
Suddenly the sound of door opening rang in her ear. She was on the floor facing the wall so she don't know who actually entered the room as she couldn't move to see the front.
"Awake already?" The familiar voice had her stunned.
She felt her body being pulled up. She turned around to look at the man infront of her. As soon as she saw him her chest burst with anger. She felt like slapping the person infront of her.
"Why did you kidnapped me?" She snapped at him.
"Why are you so aggressive? Don't you like me before? You changed your heart so soon and even dragged yourself to divorce me" Amey raised his hand tracing on her face.
Nandini turned her face avoiding his touch, "don't touch me, it's disgusting"
"Disgusting?" Amey laughed out. "Before you are the one always trying to get my attention. You even wanted to sleep with me and now I am disgusting?" He suddenly grabbed her chin forcing her to look at him, "how could you say that? Disgusting?"
Nandini was forced to look at him. How can the former girl was so blind to accept this man as her husband. A husband who couldn't keep his property to himself yet involved pleasing the mistress all the time. This kind of man is truly disgusting.
"It might be because I was blind to have such thoughts. The moment you decided to cheat behind the back everything is done for" she snapped at him. "A man like you is someone I hate the most. If you think you can force me to do the things you want then you are really too proud of yourself to look at the reality"
"You really dare?" Amey raised an eyebrow. "How come I never found that you are this interesting? If I knew earlier I would have played along"
"Your blindness happen with your eyes opened which has no cure to treat" she said which only made him laugh.
"Right, I was blind. I accept that" he nodded then got up, "since you are so reluctant then you must stay here and learn how to be obedient again" he said then turned around to leave.
Nandini stared at his back while clenching her fist. This mother and son couldn't just wait to see the end for themselves. She looked around the dark room. Judging from the place it might be something hidden from the light. Even the room started to smell disgusting. Suddenly she started feel like puking. She pressed her lips in thin line trying to stop herself. Until her husband come to rescue she couldn't show any weakness. She looked at her hand which was tied with ropes.
"Please come soon" she mumbled to herself.

"Couldn't find?" Manik angrily slapped the table glaring at his men. "What's the point of keeping you all? All the training and skills has gone wasted. You all are nothing but a trash. Couldn't even find out a single person"
"Master, all the possible places that can be hidden has been searched. But there's no traces of mistress. Even the small places are searched thoroughly" Ishank replied.
"What about Amey's side? Have you checked ?" Manik asked.
"Prince Amey got drunk and stayed in his room. Her highness went to meet him but went out fuming. It seems like they had an argument again. These days their situation is not warm either"
Manik snorted "she was desperate to confirm but ended up confronting. If everything is under control then how come this kidnapping happened?" He shook his head, "something is not right. Everything seems too normal for the situation" he got up with a stern face, "come with me" then they walked out of the study room.
Nandini don't have any idea how long she has disappeared. She fell asleep for a while till Amey appeared again with a box. She looked up at him with an expressionless face.
"Are you enjoying your stay?" Amey smiled like a lunatic, "I have spacially preserved this place for you. I hope you are comfortable" he said as he half kneeled infront of her placing the box on the ground. He opened the lid to show food he prepared. "You must be hungry. I have brought your lunch"
"I am not hungry" she replied coldly.
"How can you be not hungry? It has been hours already. Look at your dry face, you need to nourish your body well or how can you have children in the future?" He said as he pulled out rice bowl from the box.
"Children?" Nandini really want to laugh. He thinks she will have children with him? This man has gone insane.
"Weren't you desperate to bear my children. You once said, you want to become a mother of my child. I was ignorant at that time but now I understand. I shouldn't have let you wait for such a long time. It was definitely my fault" he smiled.
Nandini hold back the urge to puke. Not this time, not at this time. She closed her eyes squeezing lightly trying to calm herself down. Looking at her Amey though she was trying to control her tears.
"I was wrong before and haven't given you time and right. Now the situation has changed there will be no wall between us" he said again.
Nandini opened her eyes looking at him, "did you forget that we are divorced already?"
"You actually believe that some ritual could break our marriage apart? We have taken vows in the wedding to stay together forever, don't tell me you don't remember that anymore" he pulled out few more dishes from the box. "You must be hungry. Let's eat first, we have forever to sort things out between us" he smiled.
"There's nothing to sort out things between us. You are living in delusion for yourself. Your wife ran away with your child. Is that too much for you that you couldn't even keep your sanity together and started to become a madman? Showing a belated affection? It could only make me disgust. Looking at your face is making me regret for what I married you in the first place" she snapped at him.
"How dare you speak to me like that?" He grabbed her cheeks forcefully even squeezing it making her hiss in pain, "because you were free for few days you forgot how to behave now? Don't you know how to be an obedient? Since you are forgetful I will be more than honoured to remind you" he gave a creepy smile.
Nandini felt scared and disgust at the same time. "Kidnapping me here you have already proven how worthless you are. No matter what you do you can never get over your position. This is where you will stay forever—" she leaned a little, "do you know where it is? In a dirty mud" with a smirk she moved away.
Amey looked at her with a clenched jaw. He hate being ridiculed like this. Now even she dared to say such things. His anger burst out. "You are flying over because you think you got your freedom? Today I will show you your place" he pushed the box away along with the food he just pulled out. He gripped her shoulder and pinned her down on the ground forcefully.
"Let me go you bastard" Nandini screamed. Because her hands and legs are tied down she could struggle at all. The fear gripped her heart. If he force himself on her today then she wouldn't have a way to survive.
Not knowing how to fight back she screamed at her top lung not caring whether anyone heard it or not. Her scream was louder, sharper and too annoying.
"Shut up. What are you showing for? Even if you lose your voice because of screams you won't get any help. No one could help you at all" Amey shouted and tried to kiss her neck.
At such moment the door of the secret room flung opened.
