Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 367

Downstairs in the parking lot, Srinivas stood there leaning over a car’s front waiting for Shreya.

Since her own car was trashed, he had prepared another car for her. It was also a sedan… a black Jaguar. Since she had started using her dad’s custom-made car, she had stopped using the other ones in her garage. But now, she was back to switching cars every time she went out.​​

Shreya strolled down with a heavy expression. Then she saw Srinivas’s slumped shoulders.

“Hey, there…” He called out seeing her coming near.

Shreya did not really say anything but she simply wrapped her arms around his giving him a hug…

“I am sorry… I shouldn’t have taken her with me in the first place knowing the risks… I just… I wasn’t thinking straight and … she turned the car in spite of what I said…” Shreya whispered. But something choked at her throats not letting her continue.

That was the one thing she regrets more than anything… the fact that she took Zeenath with her that night… if only she hadn’t.

“Hey, it is not your fault. None of it is… it is the fault of the bastards who did this… I want you to know that very clearly!!” Srinivas said pulling away from the hug. He took her face in his hands and stared straight into her eyes as he said, “And it is her choice to protect you, Shreya… her independent choice. Don’t slight it by regretting it!”

He did not know if Shreya had understood what he was talking about. But she still nodded her head completely pulling away.

“How are you doing?” She asked instead dropping the subject completely.

“I am fine… and besides. She is alive… she is a fighter. She survived all this while, and she is not going to get knocked out by something small like this… she is going to be kicking your a.s.s in no time… trust me!!” Srinivas said ruffling her hair.

Shreya did not reply but she leaned in and gave Srinivas another comforting hug before getting onto the car.

AN hour or so later, both of them were standing in front of prison bars staring at a sleeping Abishek. He did not seem distressed or anything given how soundly he was sleeping.

“How did it go so smoothly?” Shreya asked Srinivas. She thought they would have to sneak in… but Srinivas actually brought them through the front door. It was just the number of people in the jail seemed very meager than normal. And he insisted on Shreya completely covering her face… she wore a disguise of a sort if wearing a suit was going to make her look like a guy suddenly with a lot of hair.

But then, Shreya figured this was probably because Shreya did not want to be involved with the case at hand.

“Well, I bribed the warden of the jail… He was very cooperative and he arranged for the whole thing. But you have only about half an hour before shift changes and there are going to be a lot more guards around then… so, better make this one quick!” Srinivas explained and tapped on the metal bars waking up Abishek.

“Who are you guys?” Abishek asked startling awake.

“You seem comfortable enough Abishek for a person on death row!” Shreya voiced out. In the empty corridor of the old wall, her voice echoed multiple times.

Abishek instantly recognized Shreya’s voice. He blinked several times before asked her, “What are you doing here?” But then something else hit him as he got up from his place and approached her as he asked anxiously, “My daughter? Is my daughter okay??? Did something happen to her?” He did not find any other reason why Shreya would visit him in the middle of the night.

“Relax, big man. She is fine… I have sent her and your whole family abroad with new doc.u.ments… nobody will be able to find them.” Shreya answered nonchalantly.

“Then what do you want?” He asked confused.

“Do you want to get out of here? Do you want me to help you be re-tried as an informant again?” Shreya asked. This was the only thing she came here to ask. And she wanted to see him in the face when he answered.

Abishek was utterly shocked to hear this… This question was really unfair coming from Shreya given what he had been a part of when it came to her parents.

“I thought you would be happy for the outcome… at least, the outcome I have got…” Abishek wondered out loud.

“I won’t say I am happy… but I am not that inclined to help you either. Frankly, I don’t want to… you don’t get to go around, sleep and eat and have a life when my parents don’t anymore… but it is also true you were wronged… so, I came here to ask you if you want to fight it! If you don’t want to, I will be out of here just like that…” Shreya answered shrugging her shoulders as if she was talking about a meal or something.

Abishek chuckled as he said, “That’s the Shreya I know… anyways, you don’t have to do anything more… I am okay with the way things are. As long as my daughter is safe… It doesn’t matter what I get. I deserve this…” He did not want to feel guilty anymore… he had had enough of those all his life. Now that he got the chance to pay for those, he was pretty relieved than wronged.

“Fine by me…” Shreya answered back not flinching.

“Thanks for what you did for my family… if there is an afterlife, I will try and pay you back…” He said earnestly. Anyways, his life is his way of paying her back for her parents and countless others.

Shreya did not reply. She just turned around to leave when Abishek suddenly called for her.

“What is it?” She asked.

“I just… if this is the last chance I am going to get, I wanted to convey something…” Abishek started talking.  “I did not say anything before about this because it was not relevant to the case… but I thought you would want to know this…”
