Theera walked downstairs and sat down on the floor leaning her back against the sofa and started going through the finished list of the saved materials and saved the documents as Maniamma walked towards Theera "Madam! You've not eaten anything since you arrived this evening shall I serve you dinner?"

Theera looked at the time on her phone to see it's past nine and looked at the door sighing "I'll have the dinner once they come" and leaned her head back on the sofa.

"Did you go to the cops?" They heard Dhruv's voice and looked at the door to see the guys walking towards them.

"I did and also filed a complaint" Karthik replied.

"I contacted the materials company and they offered us the discount" Nik informed making Dhruv nod.

"Did you find anything?" Theera asked as the trio sat down.

"It wasn't an accident. Someone caused it. Although the back side of the outhouse didn't have any cameras we found a match box there" Nik explained.

"What if someone had threw it away?" Theera tried to take the other side of the conclusion.

"Match box can be thrown away but kerosene....I don't think anyone would actually pour kerosene all over the back side of the outhouse don't you think?" Dhruv looked at her.

Theera nodded "So the one who tried to kill boss is now trying to tamper with this deal".

"But why only now?" Karthik asked making everyone look at him "All these years like from seven years since he started business, he had made many enemies but no one tried killing him and after coming here everything is going down or someone trying to bring him down".

"Oh come on Karthik! There's no such thing in this palace" Theera rolled her eyes.

"But everything bad started happening since the day we've shifted to this palace. It must be because of the curse or some ghosts" Nik sided Karthik.

"Ghosts? Really? Then where is it? I mean if it was the ghost it would've killed us inside the palace which will make it easier right?" Theera argued.

"Do you think suddenly someone wants boss dead just like that? This palace or its rumours must've influenced someone to do these attacks" Karthik retorted.

"It's not the ghosts or the palace" Dhruv words stopped their argument "The attacks didn't start since the day we moved here. It started after the Dhara's wedding".

"What does the Princess's wedding have to do with the attacks?" Nik was confused.

"She doesn't have anything to do with the attacks. The attacks started after we talked about the registration" Dhruv reminded them making them think back to the day they spoke about the registration.

"Now that I think of it boss has a point. If it wasn't for the poojari gaaru's words that Dharani's wedding must be done within a week then the registration would've completed by now. But it didn't. So..." Theera trailed off.
