"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.
