Chapter 4 Unseen WEBS

"Men are not the only ones

who show possessiveness.

Women do too", ARIKA

..

In the dark cellar, a girl was thrown harshly and in a thud, she fell on the floor.

She was beaten and also was in a state of semi-unconsciousness.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk Poor daughter of Arjun Kashyap"

An old gruffy voice boomed in the cellar as he laughed at the poor condition of Arika.

"Dad! Kashyap is searching for her", Tanay spoke as Mr. Taksh Oberoi beamed because finally, Arika was under his deadly claws.

Seventeen-year-old Arika; daughter of Arjun and Pashika was the star of everyone's eyes but at this time, she was far away from her family.

She was beaten and had wounds, scars, and blood on her face and body. She was moaning in pain.

Taksh Oberoi kidnapped Arika from KASHYAP Mansion in the presence of all Alpha males.

It was Taksh's win and loss of KASHYAP and RATHORE.

ARIKA's eyes fluttered open and found herself in the dark cellar on the cold, dirty floor.

She was happily enjoying the party with her family but everything changed quickly.

Everything happened so quickly that no one was able to understand the situation.

"Tanay! What's the story of Beauty and the Beast?", Mr. Taksh Oberoi asked his son.

"Beauty, a village girl, embarks on a journey to save her father from a creature that has locked him in his dungeon. Eventually, she learns that the creature is an enchanted prince who has been cursed", Tanay said as his eyes never fell upon Arika whose mind was slowly hearing Taksh's words.

"Oh! And what happened next?", Taksh asked amusingly to Tanay.

"Beauty fell in love with the beast and broke the curse. Live happily ever after", Tanay sounded robotic and Taksha laughed crazily.

Taksh found the story 'Beauty and The Beast' was stupid.

"Beauty TAMED the Beast. Hmmmm! just like Pashika Tamed her beast; Mr. Arjun but What about this unconscious little beast who thinks of herself as a superwoman?", Taksh pointed his finger at Arika's whole body started to shiver slightly as his voice rushed in her head and created a new wave of anger, flames, revenge a, and blood.

But soon, past images flooded in her head.

"Koohu? Are you alright?", Arjun's voice rushed into the head of Arika as her heart thudded in fear.

"Koohu, my baby", Pashika's worried face appeared in front of her eyes.

"Arjun! Pashika! I'm here. Koohu! Your uncle is here", Rudra's face appeared before her eyes.

"Baby bubble", Knowing the owner of this voice caused her heart to beat as fast as it could.

Arika clenched her jaw and forced herself to open her eyes.

Taksh stared at ARIKA's eyes. She stared back at him.

Her eyes were terrorized and her soul was traumatized.

Taksh bent down and clutched her hair in his palm.

"You know what little beast?", Taksh asked and grabbed Arika's jaw through his other hand tightly enough to leave a mark on her skin.

"True love is like playing chess. A boy plays and is always afraid of losing HIS QUEEN, And the girl risks everything Just to protect HER KING".

Arika frowned upon Taksh's words which made her feel fear and smelt of danger from both Taksh and Tanay whose eyes were hiding his true self and showing his other self to everyone.

"But. but. but. There's a twist My Son", Taksh left Arika's hair stood up moved towards Tanay, and spoke.

"A boy who is a prince but afraid of losing his Queen. And this little beast is risking her everything to protect not only her Prince but her family as well. How stupid?", Taksh again laughed and kicked in Arika's stomach.

"How are you feeling? Did you feel pain or Did you remember something?", Taksh asked and choked Arika's neck.

Her eyes bulged and her mouth opened widely for the search of air. She was fighting with Taksh as her hands were grabbing Taksh's hands and suddenly her head ached as she was near to exploding.

'Every story of your life is a part of my existence'.

An angry, threatening voice whispered in her head.

That voice. Arika whimpered in pain and tried to recognize that voice.

"Tanay! My Son! Is this important for a beauty to tame the beast? Or beauty to end up with the beast, breaking the curse, falling in love, and living happily ever after?", Everyone watched Taksh who was leaning over Arika's body.

"I don't know Dad", Tanay spoke and eyed Arika who was clutching her head with one hand and rubbing her temple with the other hand.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Poor little beast. Do you know Tanay the Daughter of Arjun Kashyap likes the King of MILLER's 'Zane Daniel Miller' but her luck ditched her there as well? That Miller doesn't even like her. He already has a Queen and that Queen is not KASHYAP's daughter", Tanay wiped the running tears from Arika's eyes and mocked her.

"Arika Arjun Kashyap" - That voice again came and echoed in her head as her head ached badly and she screamed in pain.

"Without me", That voice was saying something to her but suddenly.

A loud voice came and anger, pain, frustration bottled up tightly inside her as she felt suffocated and Taksh's words stabbed her ego and wounded her self-respect causing her extreme pain as she couldn't stop herself from screaming in pain that was waving inside her head.

"Aaaahhhhhh !", Arika again screamed in pain Taksh left her throat she gasped and filled her lungs with air.

Arika took only a minute to understand the situation and intentions of OBEROI and soon stood perfectly on her feet and marched towards Taksh and Tanay where their men were standing behind them.

An unexpected punch landed on Taksh's cheeks.

Everyone was shocked and took a few seconds to process the situation but when Arika lifted her hand to hit Tanay Taksh's men grabbed her hands and kicked her.

But she fought hard with all her strength.

She escaped a few hits from the hangman and soon everything got stilled as Arika felt extreme pain in her stomach.

A knife was dangling on her stomach and blood was dripping down from it.

"You know what, you bitch. I want to pull out your heart at this moment but I am waiting for the correct time. Because Revenge is better when it is served cold but I want it coldest"

Taksh was saying but suddenly.

*Boomed*

A door banging sound and some bullet shooting sounds made them aware that they were running out of time.

"Remember, this is not the end. You are still a weakling who is nothing without the name of KASHYAP".

Mr. Taksh Oberoi spoke gritttedly and left the cellar with Tanay and his security.

Arika fell to her knees as she was bleeding heavily.

"Koohu?", Arika turned around to see the familiar face.

"You came?", Arika's tone was slightly disappointing and that person stared at her deep scrunching eyes that had completely changed and appeared different.

Pain, anger, disappointment, rage, and revenge were there in those pitch-black stone orbs that always made her different but this was different no one differentiated between those two same but different, strange eyes.

"I've to", That person replied to her and observed her situation.

She was brutally beaten and had red, black, blue, and purple color patches on her face.

"But you are late", Arika said in a complaining tone as she arched her brows and bored her vision straightly into that person's eyes who sighed and thought, 'He was late'.

"But this is not the end", That person thought and quickly sent an important code to both Arjun's and Rudra's phones.
