To Be Continued...

MAIN STORY:

The engagement ceremony had ended, and everyone had returned to their respective homes. However, Dipti and Anurag decided to stay at the palace until Rajesh's wedding, as per Nikolas's request. Ruby was extremely disturbed by this and sat alone on a swing in the palace garden.

Just then, she saw Suresh secretly leaving the palace in his car. Ruby, who already had suspicions about Suresh, decided to follow him to clear her doubts. She got into her own car and started tailing Suresh.

It was around 2 or 3 am, and Ruby wondered where Suresh could be headed at this hour. She questioned whether she should continue following him or return to the palace. Before she could make a decision, Suresh's car stopped near an old ruin. Ruby quickly hid her car behind a tree and watched as Suresh got out and entered the ruin.

Ruby followed him, hiding in the shadows. Inside the ruin, she saw Suresh kneeling before a masked man, begging for forgiveness. Ruby realized that Suresh was involved in the attempts on her life.

Suresh told the masked man that he had tried to kill Ruby several times but was thwarted by Ava, who always managed to save her. The masked man asked Suresh to wait until Rajesh's wedding, after which Ava would return to England, and then they could kill Ruby.

The masked man inquired if Ava would accompany Ruby to England, to which Suresh replied that Nikolas had arranged Ruby's marriage to Anurag Mukherjee, and she would not be allowed to leave with Ava. Suresh expressed his frustration with Ava, stating that he couldn't bear to lose to a girl.

The masked man reassured Suresh that they would take care of Ava first. He then asked Suresh about Ruby's personal assistant, Angel, wondering if Suresh had killed her. Suresh replied that he hadn't killed Angel yet but would do so soon, as she had discovered his involvement in the attempts on Ruby's life.

Just then, another masked man appeared, wearing a Joker mask. He confronted Suresh, asking how many people he had killed. Suresh replied that he had killed around 10 people. The Joker-masked man scolded Suresh for killing innocent people and ordered him to send Angel back to England and intimidate her into never contacting Ruby again.

Suresh agreed, and the Joker-masked man left. Ruby was shocked to discover that there were more people involved in the plot to kill her. As she turned to leave, a thug appeared behind her. Before he could harm her, Ava arrived and killed the thug.

Ruby was shaken, realizing that there were multiple threats to her life and that she needed Ava's protection now more than ever.

Ava, still fuming, asked Ruby, "What are you doing here? You could've put yourself in danger." Ruby replied in a softly hurt tone, "What difference does it make to you if something happens to me?"

Ava's anger flared up again. "This isn't the time for that conversation. Let's get out of here, now!" Ruby stood her ground, her voice rising in anger. "I'm not leaving. I need to ask Suresh some questions. I want to know why he's trying to kill me and how many innocent lives he's taken. And who are the people behind these masks, working with him?"

Ava warned Ruby, "This isn't the time for questions. If they see you, they might kill you." Ruby refused to leave with Ava, who then lifted Ruby into her arms and tried to carry her away. Ruby struggled and shouted in anger, alerting the thugs, Suresh, and the masked men to their presence.

The masked man sneered, "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. You two have saved us the trouble of finding you." Suresh taunted Ruby, "Sister, it seems you've been following me. Good job leading yourself right into my trap."

Ruby confronted Suresh, "Why are you trying to kill me? Did you kill my parents? Are you responsible for their death?" Suresh smirked, "You can ask them yourself when you meet them." He then pointed his gun at Ruby.

Ava stepped forward, positioning herself between Ruby and Suresh. The masked man chuckled, "I'll leave these two girls in your capable hands, Suresh. Make sure they meet their maker." Suresh sneered, "Don't worry, sir. I'll take care of them. Today will be their last day."

The masked man left with two or three of his men, leaving Suresh with 10-11 others who were waiting to kill Ruby and Ava. Ava stared into Suresh's eyes and warned, "Suresh, don't even think about touching Ruby. If any of you lay a hand on her, I'll kill you all." Suresh sneered, "We'll see who kills who. You're quite confident, aren't you?"

Ruby was still angry with Ava and told her, "Ava, move away from me." Ava's anger flared up, and she growled like a lioness, "Ruby, don't say another word. If you do, I'll be the one to kill you, not them." Suresh found their conversation puzzling and asked Ruby, "Sister, what's wrong? Why are you angry with her?" Ruby snapped at Suresh, "What business do you have with this?" Suresh chuckled and asked Ava, "Look at her, she's so crazy. She has no idea what's going to happen here, and yet she's still yelling at me."

Ava smiled and replied, "You know why Ruby's yelling at you, don't you? It's because she knows what's going to happen here, but I think you have no idea what's coming." Suresh sneered, "I'll be one step ahead of you, even in my grave. I like your attitude, Ava. It's a shame I'll have to take you with me after I kill you."

Ava swiftly snatched the gun from Suresh's hand and pointed it at him, saying, "Suresh, you have no idea what's about to happen here. First, tell your servants to drop their guns." Suresh ordered his men to put down their guns, and Ruby collected them. Ava then told Ruby, "Go outside and get in the car. I'll be there in five minutes."

Ruby hesitated, "But I won't leave you alone." Ava reassured her, "Go, Ruby. I'll be right behind you. You'll wait for me in the car, and I'll meet you in the garden." Ruby reluctantly agreed and headed towards the car.

Ava then taunted Suresh, "So, Suresh, you think you're in control, but do you know who the real mastermind is? You've been planning to kill me, but have you ever wondered who the second masked man is? Have you ever tried to find out?"
