Next morning, during the breakfast, while all the Janes were sitting in the main family hall, along with watching news, in which it was being shown how Machia family and Najer family had combined their forces against Janes family. "The plot played by Janes is extremely selfish. We also had access over Halaya, but we kept her as everyone's property" said the Thrish Najer, the owner of Najer family. "Keith is a Janes' masterpiece. Though he has gained access over Halaya, through his useful mental tactics, but he is neither the husband of her, nor the guardian of her. She either belongs to us or the Najers" said King Yumas Machia during his speech. "Keith was himself always a super power, having Halaya by his side, is something that has now made him invincible. If all the major Elite families wouldn't still combine their forces against him, we can never overcome him" said Dashi Rogera, the owner of Rogera family, one of the major Elite families.

"Where's Carver?!" asked Halaya, in loudly worried tone, as she hardly managed to sat up, with her back rested on the back of Hospital bed. "Don't panic! he's alright.. You rather need to be worried about yourself Miss" said that nurse, in a slightly rough tone. "What do you mean? What happened to me?" asked Halaya, in confused tone, as she tried to remember what exactly happened. "You got fainted! Don't you remember?" asked that nurse, in rude tone. "Yeah I remember.. I hadn't eaten anything since I came here.. So I got fainted.." said Halaya, as she turned her face aside. "Wow! Great! You do finally remember everything now! then how don't you remember something more? You're pregnant Miss!" said that nurse, in a taunting tone, while moving her big hands around in a bluntly angry manner. "What?! No! Not now!" said Halaya as she helplessly faced palm. "Yeah!

Tears filled into his eyes.. sat up hardly, rubbed his eyes.. "Why are you here... Rim?" asked Keith in a firmly sad tone, avoiding looking at Rim's face. "Sir.. You're not this.. Wake up and show the truth to the world.." cried out Rim, now bursting out of emotions. "Rim.. Who will believe in me now?" asked Keith in a helplessly sad tone, while moving his head sideways. "Everyone will do.. Just don't give up.. Just don't stop avenging!" screamed Rim, his voice shaken and broken as tears were flowing through his eyes. Keith looked at him..

Keith felt like Halaya was somewhere around, looking at him and it was some sort of her magical power's interference. But no, she couldn't be seen around.

    Keith was staring at the Mansion on fire, standing in front of its main gate, where cars of fire brigades and ambulances were gathered to evacuate and rescue the people there. It was once a big silver building with ten white pillars on the front of it, spaced in an order with a regular gap in between. Windows were as large as doors made of wood and glass and its wide corridors could be seen from far away the building. It was named as Mansion of Janes where the famous elite family named Janes were living and controlling all the affairs of city named Derfin including banking, media, journalism, accounting and everything, either directly or indirectly through some agents from all renowned companies regularly reporting to them about their internal affairs. "Thanks to God! Sir Micheal janes and his wife Dina along with their two older sons are saved!" said one of the rescuers in a loud tone. "But what happened to Watson? Their youngest son. He is nowhere to be found!" cried out other rescu

    As years passed by, Sir Richard got closer and closer to acknowledging Keith's extraordinary mental abilities, like he could solve the most complicated mathematical problems without using calculator at only 11 years of age, design a map or structure of building without using any parameters or scales, and he could also tell height, length, width, weight, distance etc. of things accurately. During his recently started Astronomy class, "So Keith, why do you think that Earth revolves around the Sun while Sun is stationary?" asked Richard with his elevated brows as he assumed Keith wouldn't be able to answer. "Isn't it the apparent shift of nearby stars every six months, as the Earth moves from one side of orbit to other?" answered Keith in a simple tone. Richard was shocked to hear this answer because he has not taught anything of Astronomy to Keith yet, "Since when did you start observing the movement of stars without using telescope?" asked Richard. "I never observed that, but I just be

    Keith kept quiet the whole time during breakfast with his family, his eyes were still as he was lost somewhere in his own world of imaginations, "What are you thinking? Keith" asked his father in a casual tone. Keith didn't answer, though his eyes were no longer still. "What's wrong with you? Is it Richard's death that's bothering you?" asked his father again in a casual tone. Keith ignored his father again and continued eating creamy fruit salad with fork. "You think your this behavior would bring back your tutor?!" yelled his father. "Calm down honey!" said mother, "He's just a kid, and he has already not eaten anything since yesterday". "He's no longer a kid, he understands everything, if his mentality towards us stays like this, he would one day be our own enemy!" yelled father again while getting up and leaving the table. "Your father has gone crazy, a kid and an enemy! does it even make sense? Just ignore him, Keith" said mother in a sarcastic manner after father had left. Keith

    That night, at about 2AM, Halaya got a call from the same unsaved number she got a call before. She knew it was Arthur.. He was trying to contact her again for some reason.. She knew that it was emotionally overburdened for her to talk to him.. But maybe he had to talk about Carver.. Why would he need to talk about him.. She kept on thinking.. Questioning and then answering to her own assumptions.. There was a knocking at her door.. Was it Arthur.. She immediately sat up in extreme fear.. Knocking got harder.. She shakingly asked, "Who?" in loud tone. "Open the door, Halaya" said Keith, in gently calm tone. She felt a relief.. It was Keith after all.. As she opened the door, Keith was standing there, with holding a knife in his hand.. "You.. at this time" said Halaya, in firmly serious tone.. There was a gap of silence.. Keith entered the room and locked the door.. "I need your fresh blood" said he, as he showed her that knife. "Why's that?" asked she, in curiously firm tone. "Because

"Yes?" said Micheal in slightly loud tone. "Sir, there are some low class people gathered outside our main gate.. They said they want to meet Prince Keith.." said a worker, who then left from there after Jason gestured him to leave. Keith stood up, "Let me see" said he, as he left from there. After Keith reached there, people started clapping and hooting like they had seen some famous celebrity standing in front of them, "Keith! Our hero!" they repeatedly raised slogans to make him feel motivated. "Who are you people?" asked Keith, as he felt like he had never seen those faces before. One of them came forth, "Keith, we want you to resume avenging.. Look, we've proofs of brutality done by Elites to our relatives" said he, as he opened his mobile screen.

Herlin and Rebecca ran towards Keith and hugged him tightly, "Keith rocks!" said they repeatedly, in cheerful tone. "Brother Keith, you've proved it that it is now Janes' reign!" said Safrali, in excitedly happy tone. Rasmali happily nodded. Jason punched Keith's back, "I can't believe that you stole those books all of your own!" said he, in gladly smiling tone. After the Halaya had used her powers, she fell unconscious, as before. Her body temperature was high, like she was having a fever. She was taken to the hospital, antipyretics were given to her to bring down her temperature. Though his family was appreciating him, he wasn't happy at all.. It was because of Halaya's reality that had become open to him now.. He felt like he had no longer any access over her.. She was someone's else wife.. It was hurting him deeply in a way that he felt like it
