Miles just to see your Face"

[In this chapter Arika is 15 and Zane is nineteen years old]

ZANE's POV :- (Rajasthan, India)

After finishing my work as fast as possible and then i lands in India. I am late for the first wedding of our family and everyone already left for the wedding hall.

I already have prepared myself for a big scold from my lovely mother. (Sapphire Daniel Miller)

I walk fastly and covering the distance between the lawn to the wedding hall. The first person who met me is Doll; Dhani (Davis's daughter). Dhani see me and literally jumped on me

I laugh and engulf her small body in my arms.

I laugh and look at her big eyes. Doll is growing up so fast. She is seventeen years old and looking beautiful with her dimples.

She is wearing an Indian dress, pink colour long skirt with long scarf. Everything was pink and I scrunch my nose. Girls and their fetish on colour pink.

"Why are you so late Brother? Brother Ansh is already performing the wedding rituals", Dhani asks me innocently, makes me smile at her.

"I was busy. Where is everyone?", I ask her and she pouts.

And then I observe that she is wearing light make up on her face. This girl is really looking beautiful and it proves that the male eyes are gawking at her.

"Everyone is watching the wedding rituals", Dhani replies and smiles dreamily.

"Then what are you doing here?", I ask her because she is wandering alone in the crowded area without any elder one.

Girls of our family will never get change. I fist my hands when I find how boys are staring at her.

"I was with Koohu, grabbing Spicy Indian snacks", Dhani says as she and wipe her mouth with the back of her hand. I am watching amusingly at her.

And then she hushed in my ear, "Go meet her".

And I roll my eyes at her childishness.

Dhani giggles and runs inside the hall while clutching her long skirt in her hands and I just walk behind her.

Wearing a black suit for Brother Ansh's wedding makes me uncomfortable as I remove my coat and roll up the sleeves up to the elbows.

I walk around in search of her.

And there she is, My beautiful BEAST, giggling with some other girls.

Standing in front of her, I feel under a spell cast by her.

Once I see, I know I am trapped in her beautiful eyes . One look from her and my heart stopped beating for a second.

The girl that sits down with other girls is the only one who know how to make me to loose my mind and that too, without any effort.

Her angelic face, the sweet smile she always has. She is the most beautiful girl I ever seen. No one is prettier than her.

Looking as beautiful as she was eleven years ago. She has the most awestruck black eyes, black haired girl I have ever seen.

She looks up and our eyes collide.

I look away immediately.

Damn! My baby bubble notices me.

I never want her to know, never.

She will never know. I have a reputation. I am a Prince and I have a girlfriend and I don't cheat in relationships so I can't be with her. Yet, I want to have her.

Jesus!

Relationships are so fucking complicated.

"Are you listening to me?".

A sudden familiar voice broke my trances. I look at the owner of the voice and face of Faith appear in front of my eyes.

Faith seems annoyed right now.

I completely forget about her that she has come with me in the same private jet and entire journey she was on her phone, talking with Vin.

I can't understand a bit how anyone could talk so much and that too showing whole white pearls.

[A/N:- Vin aka Vincent is Davis's third son and Faith is his girlfriend]

"You can go with Uncle Carlos, Faith. I have some work to finish", I say to Faith and she immediately runs away, leaving Uncle Carlos with me.

[A/N:- Carlos is CHASE and ZANE's bodyguard and best pal of Daniel]

After I leave the same spaces I am sharing with a beautiful beast. I go inside the wedding hall and Uncle Carlos follows me.

I know one thing now that she doesn't care about me. After all those years of staying away from her. She doesn't look back at me.

Why?

Why doesn't she look back at me? For once, only for once. What can I do for her to notice me?.

"Don't think too much", Uncle Carlos said to me but I didn't reply to him.

I was five years old, The day I saw her for the first time. She was so small and beautiful but what caught my interest was her eyes. Big black doe like eyes. I remember that I felt complete that day while only looking at her but after that, I never got a chance to meet her again. Her memories became like passing clouds to me.

Whenever our families went on trips and planned holidays together. I used to visit my kingdom "VitraVand Land" or my Grandparents house (His uncle Sameul and Aunt Sean)

But why did I stay so many years away from her? I didn't know about my mind and just went with the flow of the time.

I remember, I met her again when she was eight or nine that time with one of our family holidays in India. I felt that with her by my side, I will never need anything else. Her innocence was something that no other girl had.

But the worst mistake of mine was that I left her and never took any steps for her. No contacts and no involvements. But when I heard about her accidents, I felt like choking, unable to breath. My heart broke into billions of pieces when I saw the pictures of her wearing an oxygen mask.

I will follow that person to the hell and torture him only daily basis like my Baby Bubble had suffered because of him l.

White bandages around her wrist made me remember the news that I had heard from Quadruplets (Brothers of Arika) that she was attacked by him again.

That fucking Bastard. Just wait. There are so many people who wants to kill you.

But I feel difficult in breathing by mere a thought of her get harm by that bastard. If something ever happens to her, my BABY BUBBLE , I will never forgive myself.

Never.

She is the flower of my life.

Light of my darkness.

She is the BEAST of my heart.

End Of POV :-

***

Outside of the Wedding Hall, Rajasthan, India:-

Zane was near Arika.

Arika knew that the intense gaze she was feeling that belonged to him only. She was feeling suffocated inside the hall so she came outside only to breathe freely but his closeness made her aware of his presence beside her.

She looked up and their eyes met across the crowded hall and then cut them away from the world.

The aching intensity in his gazes made her swallow deeply. She looked at him and took a deep breath and caught him staring back at her.

Their gazes kept entangling and brushing each other souls like the wings of bird clapping together.

Everything stopped for them. They were alone in a crowded room. He wanted to ask so many things to her. She had nothing to say to him.

Her inner beast was strong enough to face off with His Demonic mind.

Seven years had passed for ZANE. He was seeing ARIKA in person after seven years. The last he met her that time she was nine.

In all these years, a lot of things might have changed in their life but their craving souls and screaming eyes were still the same.

Arika's hearts accelerated and she sighed loudly. No matter, how many times she told herself that she was better off without him but seeing him after so many years of long time, today, ARIKA felt like nothing could Change in between them.

His onyx eyes clashed with Black shining stones of her, proving him that she wouldn't back away from the intensity of the night.

ZANE gave up and rubbed his temple. He allowed himself to sink deeply into her twinkling stars like eyes. It was the best feeling for him. She was already looking at him and he smiled mentally at her attitude of not giving up.

His heart skipped a beat to found her smirking at him. He took another deep breath beneath the beautiful sky. The moonlight and the cool breezes were bringing a surprise for him.

The surprise was her looking and smirking at him. It was something new for him. She gave two expressions to him. Her smirks and stares.

Zane stood next to her but again her BEASTLY attitude ignored his DEMON'S magnetic Personality.

Zane eyes landed on Arika's plump lips which were painted with red lipstick which were awakening a desire in him to slammed his lips on her. Every sight of her was enchanting for him.

The air between them was filled with unknown emotions. No one wanted to break the silence. It wasn't new for her to ignore him. He used to see her like this. Her fragrances of body was filling his nostrils wanted to captured her in his arms forever. But she wanted nothing from him.

But standing near to her was sending calmness to his demonic mind and Just when the moonlight was near to hit the two beautiful souls.

Without a word, she moved away from him. Leaving him like he did to her long back but that time she didn't ask anything to him and this time, he wasn't in the mood to give up on her. He Followed her silently, observing her steps in high heels and sunflower colour long skirt and blouse.

She got mixed in the crowded hall which was full of bride and Groom's families, guests and relatives.

"Koohu?" (Arika pet name) , Rudra and Arjun bolted towards her in long strides.

"Where were you? I was scared", Arjun spoke and hugged her daughter tightly in his arms.

Rudra saw Zane was standing behind Arika. They nodded their heads and Rudra understood that they were together.

"I was there, Dadda", Arika said softly and a small smile appeared on her face.

Without a single word spoken, His heart got captured by her smile again.

"Your smile is the signature of your beast personality. I don't want it to wash away by frowns , fears, Angers tears and Pains", Zane's heart jumped out again and again inside his chest.

"Let's go there", Rudra spoke and Arika and Zane both nodded their head and went inside to attend the wedding of Ansh with Chandni; Ansh's bride.

"Nothing Can Stop Me

from getting hold of you.

Nothing can stop my Hatred;

No one can protect you from me.

You cannot kill what breeds within you;

I'm a fearless, remorseless genocide machine, cold and Windy

Which can blow you away from your Family".

TANAY OBEROI [The Antagonist]

{Zane Is 21 YO, Arika is 17 YO, Kashyap Quadruplet brothers are 22 & Tanay Oberoi is 24 Years Old}

"Are you ready to meet her?", Mr. Oberoi asked him and He stared at the pictures of Arika.

"Yes", He said and traced his fingers on Arika's pictures.

"Where is she right now?", Mr . Oberoi asked about the whereabouts of Arika.

"At the house of Rathore?", He replied to Mr. Oberoi.

"I don't want to repeat our mistakes. First ChitraLekha and then Chitragandha", Mr. Oberoi said grittedly.

"Not this time Dad. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time", He said and smirked evilly.

"If anyone comes in between our plan then crush that person", Mr. Oberoi spoke in so much hate that He understood How much venom Mr. Oberoi had in his heart.

"Chitragandha and her daughter too?", He asked and watched Mr. Oberoi keenly.

"Leave Mithaas but not Chitragandha", Mr. Oberoi smoked and stared at the walls which had pictures and info about RATHORE and KASHYAP.

"Don't you want Mithaas in your plan?", He has looked at his father figure person.

"No! I can't involve her. She is only a few months old baby", Mr. Oberoi said and He nodded his head in understanding.

"But since childhood, I have been watching you working on this revenge plan and I am curious to know what exactly Rathore and Kashyap did to you?", He asked Mr. Oberoi, who snapped his head towards the young man who was chosen by him in the game of destroying 'Beast and Hades'.

"RATHORE pulled my heart out of my chest and Kashyap crushed it under his feet", Mr. Oberoi was seething in rage and He watched his fatherly figure silently.

"What about Khanna? And the other two brothers of them; Davis Grey and Daniel Miller", He asked Mr. Oberoi.

"No! They are not involved in this", Mr. Oberoi had been planning for a long time and now everything was ready to hit.

"I have given you only one task to trap Arika Arjun Kashyap because She is the only one who can bring these two "Arjun and Rudra" to my feet", Mr. Oberoi said and fisted his hands in anger.

"And this hidden revenge game is near the end and this time I'll take Mithaas with me forever", Mr. Oberoi spoke sarcastically and He nodded his head.

Mr. Oberoi left his son and that man was watching amusingly in the pictures of Arika.

"I'm TANAY OBEROI. The son of TAKSH Oberoi (Mr. Oberoi), sole heir of the Oberoi Empire but no one knows about us and our hidden agenda. For the whole world, we are businessmen. No one knows what we do in the name of Business. We ruled the business world by our name 'OBEROI Empire' ", Tanay talked to himself and crushed Arika's picture in his fist.

~•Outside of Rudra's House.

Shiv and Nilay were walking with Arika in the small backyard area.

(Shivshakti Singh Rathore is 20 and Nilay Khanna is 18 years old)

Nilay left her when he got a call from Aashmaan and Shiv went inside the house to bring ice cream for her.

Arika was all alone in the backyard but her mind struck an unfamiliar presence behind her.

She smirked evilly and turned around to see the person. Their eyes clashed and Arika found the familiar eyes who had been following her for a long time and at last he was in front of her in his all evil glory.

"Who are you?", Asked 17-year-old Arika (Koohu) to the very same man whose eyes always haunted her in her dreams. that man who always silently followed around her.

"Your destiny", he simply said and smirked at her. Tanay was observing her from the time of her accident and his father, Taksh Oberoi ordered him to follow her all the time.

Koohu laughed evilly at him too. but for him, her laugh was some kind of music that melted in his ears, heartbeats were fast and short which created a new sensation in his body.

"Little bit you know that I'm the daughter of Arjun and Pashika Kashyap. I look so innocent like my mother but my mind works like my father", Arika replied to Tanay and crossed her arms around her chest.

"So it's simple that I'm the complete package of Beauty and the Beast My face is beautiful but my inner self is BEAST", she thought mentally while her eyes were stuck on him.

Arika just wanted to see the main person who was behind her, simply to break her family. She knew the man who was standing and eyeing her wasn't the main Person. And she wanted only him That MR. OBEROI.

"I don't believe in destiny. I'm a believer in Karma", Arika said to him and tried to move away but his next words stopped her.

"Then you'll be my Karma", Tanay said and the intensity of his eyes and the weightage of his words started to make her suffocate but she couldn't lose herself in front of him.

She knew both Nilay and Shiv would return soon. Raghav and her new bodyguard were near the house but how possible for that man to get Inside the house of a police officer without getting caught by them?

"You know who I am?", She asked and tried to get some information from him.

"Yes", He said and she arched her brows to continue his talk.

"YOU'RE MINE", He said and left her all alone.

His mind was collecting his word 'MINE'? no, she wasn't his. She was the pawn of his father's revenge. His father was plotting to use her from the time she was born, only to get hold of Rudra Singh Rathore and Arjun Kashyap.

"Hey! You stupid! Are you dumb?", Arika yelled at him. He stopped and turned. She pointed her finger at him and rudely showed her attitude to him.

"I'm no one. You better understand", Arika was seething in anger and he stood in front of her like he didn't hear her properly.

"Our fate was sealed at the moment I saw you, wrapped in a pink blanket, baby. You were only twenty minutes old, Sweet Heart", He said and playfully winked at her.

Arika wanted to shoot bullets in his head but unfortunately, she wasn't legally an adult to use guns.

"You bastard! I don't know what the hell you're talking about and I swear I'll kill you if ever I see you around me. So you better stay away from me", She said grittedly and threw deadly glares at him.

"Sweetheart! You're Mine and I'll snatch you from the world. No one means no one, not even your parents and your brothers will be able to help you. So mind my words. You have only one year to enjoy your freedom. so enjoy, baby" " he said and left the place quickly because he knew how risky it was for him to stay longer at the place Rathore.

Arika was trembling at his words. She knows how much her parents and brothers love her but his words scare her too much. She hugged herself.

"One year for what? I'm seventeen and next year I'll be eighteen. What kind of sick plans Oberoi is making", Arika thought, and soon Nilay and Shiv both came running towards her.

"Who was that man?", Shiv asked She was still watching at the place where TANAY was standing a few minutes ago.

"I don't know Brother", Koohu said and both Shiv and Nilay didn't buy her words.

***

Tanay was driving his car and his men were following him, protecting him from unwanted attention.

Tanay was confused by his own words. Why did he say that she was his because he didn't love her?

Why did his father want to give one year to Arika when he had so many opportunities in his life to kill her?

Nothing was making sense to him. His father, TAKSH Oberoi was the Son of Senior Oberoi, a very wealthy man of NY and his first wife. Senior Oberoi's wife gave birth to Taksh and died and then at the age of forty, He remarried a witch named Avantika Surya Narayana (Step sister of Aashmaan) who abused Taksh brutally. Avantika was harassed mentally and physically by Taksh. Taksh Oberoi was a broken young boy who got comfort in the arms of the Mother of Chitragandha, who also betrayed him.

Taksh lost himself when got betrayed again and again in his life by near ones. First from his father then Avantika used him and last Chitragandha's mother. But everything went out of control in his life when Taksh got to know about the existence of Chitragandha and wanted her back in his life but again something happened and Rudra and Arjun became his arch-enemies. His anger and frustration made Taksh kill his father and his second wife Avantika. Taksh did not even spare their child. He became an animal who was thirsty for revenge and blood.

Taksh wanted to end Arjun and Rudra.

Tanay sighed and stopped his car in front of the Mansion OBEROI.

~•The next day at the Kashyap Mansion:-

Arika was tossing and turning on her bed.

She was tired of all the threats. She wanted a simple life with her family but from her childhood, she saw how her father and uncles were overprotective of her. Her brothers were always there for her to help her, and protect her.

Arika sighed and scrolled through her phone.

After nagging herself, She dialled a number.

First ring. Second ring. The ring was continuously going on but no one picked it up her call.

She again tried the number and she heard a deep husky voice that made her heart accelerate.

"Hello", He said but Arika didn't speak a word.

"Hello", He again called on the phone but didn't hear any words from the opposite side.

"Z! Baby what are you doing there?. Come to me, baby".

Arika heard a cringe voice that cracked her heart.

"Z! Baby".

Arika didn't say just heard that high tone ear-piercing voice again and a fat tear fell down her cheeks.

Her loud thudding voice made him realize about her.

"Baby Bubble?", Zane whispered her name and Arika rolled her eyes at his endearment.

Arika knew it was night there. And he was with a girl. She chuckled and pinched herself until blood drew out of her skin. Her nails dug deeper into her skin but she didn't wince. Her whole body was numbed.

The pain was in her heart. The chest was burning. Humiliation was filling her ego. Eyes stung badly but tears didn't fall out of her eyes.

She was Arika Arjun Kashyap and she never bowed down in front of anyone except her parents but he was making everything difficult for her.

"Just wait and watch Zane Daniel Miller. You will cry and beg me and I'll make your life a living hell", Arika vowed and withdrew her hands away from her skin.

"That OBEROI wants me dead but Zane. You are killing me every second, every minute, every day", Arika scratched her skin more Enough to Start oozing more out of her hand

"I'll not fall into a trap. I'll risk my everything to kill that bastard", Arika wiped her eyes eyed her hands, and prepared herself for the upcoming war.

Zane, Arika, and Tanay were trapped in a caffeinated web.

Who will win and who will lose?

The game is going to be the worst.

Castle Of MILLERs, NY

In the middle of the night, the silvery moonlight spilled from the hands of the night sky, seeping into the shimmering, calm breezes that were accompanied by a thin sheen of fog hovering over the forest.

The dreamlike scenery was almost like a painting.

Amidst the calmness stood a young man in the forest trapped in the fog, walking right into the darkness slowly with his body that was shivering uncontrollably.

He didn't know how he got wet but the coldness was the least of his worries. After all, his mind was somewhere else. Like he wanted to obtain a treasure or solve the biggest mystery of the night.

Everything was dark, too dark and he was sinking in the pool of darkness.

Then suddenly, something grabbed his body forcefully and pushed him forward. Letting out a shocking yelp, he struggled to release himself from the force but darkness swarmed in on him quickly as his heart pounded furiously out of fear and importantly to survive.

His body was in good force and it was futile to fight against it. He struggled and at last, watched helplessly as he was dragged into another deeper ocean of fog and darkness.

'No! No!'

He screamed and used his all strength and then suddenly, he was free from all the force.

He quickly took a few steps back and from a distance, a pair of energetic lights that contained only blackness stared back at him.

He was speechless.

That ray had a mysterious but familiar aura. He stood dumbfounded as his soul was trapped in those black eyes that were staring quietly at his glowing Onyx orbs.

He snapped out of his trances when that mysterious aura turned around in an attempt to leave.

"Wait", He called out loudly.

His trembling voice made that aura stop.

And then he asked again, "Who are you? Did you help me in freeing myself from that force?"

He stared at the aura but only silence answered him.

That aura started to vanish in the darkness as he quickly spoke, "Tell me. Who are you? It's the King's order"

Confused by the events that had just happened made him more confused as he only wanted to know about that familiar aura.

That aura again turned around and walked towards him. He watched that aura with his wide eyes but his heart shook when his eyes found that the entire incident was weird and full of negativity.

Everything was wrong, dark and negative.

Soon, that aura became visible to him only to scramble his world.

That familiar aura was wearing a powder pink gown which turned into the colour red.

"Baby Bubble?"

Zane's heart dropped at the sight of her soaking in blood and thousands of knives were poking her body, slashing her skin, making blood cover her body in it.

His mouth went dry and he marched towards her but she stood calmly at her spot. His eyes wavered and his heart trembled to see her in all blood.

He reached out to pull the knife out of her. He was scared and felt pain crawling into his body making him lifeless.

One by one, as fast as he could do, he pulled the knives out of her body but neither she flinched nor did she cry, y lp or scream in pain.

She stood motionlessly and watched him attempt to save her with her black blank eyes. Like Nothing wrong happened to her.

"Baby Bubble! Why? What happened?"

His mind was unable to form the correct words to ask her. His hand was near to pulling out the last knife which was stabbing mercilessly her heart but Oozing blood twisted his stomach as he felt nauseating and urged to throw up made him turn around and move away from her.

Arika's eyes smiled evilly at seeing him tormented by only seeing blood. But this blood was her strength. The metallic smell of blood gave power to her to fight the enemy and not surrender this early.

Zane threw up, and when he cleared his head and searched for her. He found her again vanishing in the darkness with those thousands of knives cutting her body, blood making her soak.

"Don't go. You are hurt", Zane yelled and tried to walk behind her but again a sudden force stopped him from following her.

"Don't worry. I'll give it to you, your share of pain and suffering soon", Arika stopped and didn't look back at him and then said enchantingly and vanished into the darkness.

Zane woke up pantingly as his heart was pounding frantically inside his chest. His entire body was trembling and covered in sweat.

He saw a dream. No, it wasn't a dream. It was a nightmare that knotted his heart in two different ways.

First to protect his Babby Bubble and secondly, he didn't want to give any wrong sign to her. His mind was trapped and his heart was confused, causing him to face difficulty in making decisions.

Zane stood up from his bed and entered the bathroom. He turned on the water tap and stood under the shower. The chillness of water washed his sweat but didn't clean the fear that was already rooted in his heart.

He washed and wiped his body wore his comfy clothes and walked fast to the study room.

Without knocking and prior notice, he slammed the door open as his chest was heaving up and down fast.

Another Alpha man was sitting there, working hard in the middle of the night, leaving his beautiful queen in the bedroom all alone.

"What do you want, Zane?", Chase asked Zane whose face was pale which didn't go unnoticed by Chase.

"Baby Bubble! I'm going to India right now", Zane said without beating around the bushes.

"You can't act like this now. You are a King", Chase's authoritative tone didn't make Zane flinch instead it added fuel to his fear.

"I'm going right now and I'm not a king. You know this very clearly", Zane's voice was loud enough to echo in the castle.

Chase slammed the table and hovered over Zane in a completely Demonic cold aura that was oozing out of him.
