Cupid's Arrow.

Swift as a sparrow,

Sharp as a Knight,

Aimed with precision,

Yet you think otherwise,

Listen to it carefully my friend cause,

Cupid's Arrow never denies,

Piercing the heart beneath me,

Poisoning it with the measle called Love,

Yet so fragile and ferocious,

That you can't help but fall for it again and again,

Pleasing as a smooth whisper,

Addictive as a sweet lullaby,

Restricting you into its chains of fury,

Cupid's Arrow never denies,

You are struck by it is not just your fate,

It's a message by the heavenly bodies,

That you deserve to smile and beloved.

Kiara's Pov

"I have been working really hard just to get an appointment with Mr James Trystine and here I'm finally getting to meet him" cheered the women in front of me, who had worn a professional black pencil skirt and a white plain shirt.

Currently to pass my time I decided to chat with people waiting along with me, many people around here have their own story and purpose to meet Mr James Trystine and I'm glad that I got a chance to meet them, I was really shocked when the lady in front of me said that she was trying to meet Mr James Trystine for last two years but didn't get an appointment. And here I'm lucky enough to meet him on my first attempt. Now that I think of it I do wonder how it would feel to meet Mr James Trystine.

It's been an hour since Arthur went inside the office, I mentally thought that there would be some serious business discussion happening inside, cause according to Mr James Trystine Secretary David, he was running late in his schedule and which was shocking in itself cause James Trystine has made this sure to be on time and follow his schedule strictly and it's been years that he haven't broken his record.

A man with such persistence and dedicated to his work, really is someone who would be interesting enough to talk, I was really excited to meet him.

I was lost in my thoughts when finally I saw Arthur leaving his office, from the glass windows of the waiting room I was in. He looked tensed, a cold look was now imprinted on his face, he was followed by his secretary who was trying to explain him about the delay and how urgently he needs to be at his next meeting.

All of a sudden he stopped abruptly in the middle of the lobby, as he shared a few words with his secretary. I saw the secretary gasp for a moment, as Arthur walked back into his cabin not before staring at me with his piercing blue eyes, now that I think of the way he stared at me something is awfully wrong. Cause more or less Arthur didn't looked much happy with the discussions happened back in the office with his father. I wonder what have spiked their mood.

His secretary came running towards the waiting room where, Mr James Trystine secretary Mr David was waiting along with us.

"David! you can't believe this, what I heard right now, Mr James Trystine is closing the headquarters for a day right this instance and has instructed all the employees to leave in next half an hour. Also he cancelled all his business meetings and appointments of today. I guess Hell loose break out here at Trytine headquarters, even Mr Arthur looked a bit off, I do wonder what's happening around" said Arthur's secretary to which everyone gasped in surprise, mostly the employee's were happy to finally get a day off, but the people who had appointment with Mr James Trystine looked dejected. But then again this news certainly will be the hot gossip in tomorrow's newspapers.

I was sure that if the situation wasn't so important he would never ever afford to delay his plans, but then again who knows what the Trystine's are up to.

"And yeah who is Kiara, from all of you guys. Mr Arthur called her to his office immediately" said the secretary, as I nervously lifted my hand up; everyone in the room looked at me suspiciously, as I left along with this secretary guy.

"Are you dating Mr Arthur Trystine" I was speechless when his secretary finally asked me the question.

"No I mean of course not, after all I'm just seventeen for Pete's sake" I scowled back a reply.

"No....that's strange young Mr Trystine hardly meets any women out here, though my apologies to ask you so abruptly. Look we reached, here's the door behind which Mr Arthur Trystine is waiting for you"

I stared at the door on which was written Vice President of Trystine Industries Mr Arthur Trystine.

I knocked two times before entering the office. Inside of the office was spacious enough, with clean as pristine desk behind which I saw Mr Arthur or rather I say Mr Trystine in a peculiar state, he was currently holding his head in his hands, he looked tired enough.

"Mr Trystine you called me" I started as he finally looked up at me; his cold emotionless look was back as he finally addressed me.

"Yes, come in Kiara. Have a seat" he offered as I cautiously walked towards the chairs.

Finally plumping myself into one, I looked up at him and startled a bit for a second when I found him already scrutinizing me into his glares.

"My father would personally like to meet you. Though I'm more interested in knowing about you, you haven't actually mentioned about yourself much......do tell me about yourself Kiara" I was shocked for a second when he said that Mr James Trystine personally wants to meet me.

"About myself, well I'm an orphan, as you know I don't know much about my dad and my mother died in a car crash a few years back. I got my scholarship at Elite high last semester so I shifted here" I tried to say the truth partially; I mean it didn't gave much information about me eventually.

For a second he looked at me as if waiting for me to continue further but I didn't.

"Very well, do you need anything to eat or drink? You surely must be hungry" he offered, but as soon as he said that I started wondering whether they offer food to every random stranger.

"No thanks" I replied, to which he shakes his head.

"I already know that you'll say this, so let me order for you" he grabs his office phone as he calls his secretary, "Bring me a medium size Veg Margherita Cheesy Pizza and a coke"

I was shocked by the fact that how does he knows about me being a vegan, only few people in my life knows that I'm a vegan.

"How do you know I'm a vegan, as much as I know I never mentioned about it" I questioned back to which he just smiled at me knowingly.

"I will be right back Kiara, I guess Dad needs me right now. So be a good girl and complete your pizza and coke, if you're tired please feel free to use the sofa in my office to grab a quick nap, cause I'm not sure how long my dad is planning to finally meet you" said Arthur to my suspicions, something was off indeed. Why he is leaving me all alone in his office, currently I feel like being trapped but then again, they haven't done anything wrong yet.

He went out of the office, as I stared at the glass paper weight in front of me, I was confused.....why the hell Mr James Trystine cancelled all his plans for today and why he wants to meet me so urgently that I don't understand.

I was left alone with my conscience, though I was tempted enough to check the open Mac book in front of me, certainly it should hold some important information about my father, as I'm damn sure he is one of the employee's of Mr James Trystine, but then again I'm not fool enough to do something so irrelevant, as I very well know that there must be some Hidden cameras in this office as I was sure that currently I was being watched and they are purposely doing this.

For being in the safer side, I removed my cell phone as I found Sid's number from my contacts, as I started writing a text message about my whereabouts. I was making sure that if something goes wrong Sid should at least know where I'm.

*

Sid,

I'm currently at Trystine Industries Headquarters at the west of the city; its 1.33 pm. don't ask questions, I'm currently scheduled to meet Mr James Trystine himself, as I'm waiting here in one of his son's office that is Mr Arthur Trystine. Note my location as I feel something is wrong, if I don't reply you back by midnight, send a search party, be aware just in case.

*

I touched the send button as I received the notification that the text has been sent, deleting the text from my outbox; I slide back my phone inside my pockets. I know that I was over exaggerating but I can't take risk. As I very well know that rich aren't the ones to be trusted so easily.

The doors opened as I saw a bulky man in black shirt and pants came in, with black glasses in front of his eye's, from the security gun he had stacked on his shoulder I was sure that he is one of the security guards of Trystine family. They indeed are very concern of their family members, as I read in one of the newspapers that Trystine family were many times attacked in past too, it is indeed correct enough for them to have such kind of security around.

But that didn't perk my curiosity, the security guard came and dropped the pizza in front of me and handed me the coke.

"Do tell us if you need anything." with his grunt voice the guards said, as I nodded my head and said a quick thank you.

After finishing my delicious pizza and coke, I felt bored enough it's already 4.00 pm and yet Mr James Trystine haven't called me for the meeting nor I can hear anything of Arthur, he haven't return back. I wonder what they were doing.

Finally as if my prayers were answered as I saw one of the security guard coming in the office.

"Mr James Trystine will like to meet you Miss" said the same security guard who bought me the pizza, as I stood up from my chair, somehow I felt anxious enough because finally I'm going to meet the famous Mr James Trystine.

Walking out of the office, I noticed the uncomfortable silence around as I can very well note that all the employee's have left and went back home. But the amount of security guards running around this place made me suspicious is this some kind a war zone.

Why the hell there are so many security guards. And that's not the only fact which made me suspicious. The amount of security guard around me who are escorting me towards Mr James Trystine office which is like thirteen steps away only perk up my curiosity further. What's happening around I wondered.

As I came in front of the door which read 'President Mr James Trystine' in bold letters, as I finally took a deep breath and opened the door.

If I said that Arthur's office was spacious I take back my statement because currently Mr James Trystine office was then the massive hall, which can easily herd ten elephants, I noticed the huge shelf of files stored at one of the corner of the office. Numbers starting from one till reaching to thousands.....I wonder what kind of information these files hold, the carpet was Aubrey black as I placed my foot on it.

The walls of the office weren't much exciting but plain white, but how couldn't I miss the huge homologous desk in the centre of the office and behind it, the person sitting that I'm awaiting to meet the most.

James Trystine, a man with such power currently engrossed in front of his laptop screen typing god knows what, he has this sharp features which explicitly matches his dominating personality, I have seen his photo's a couple of times in news papers and magazines but then the reality is far more fascinating enough than I thought. He shares the same features with his children's that I have met, with the same brown hair as of Arthur, Christopher and Calypso.

But his eyes were dark brown which are as lively as the mirth of earth. I can notice the stubble five' o clock shadow look on his face, as he looked tired enough. His loosed tie and undid top button's tells the story that indeed it was a rough day for him, his formal coat now lies on the back of his chair unmoving enough.

At one end of the corner I saw Arthur reading some kind of book at one of the book shelves, as he sprawled up on the couch. It was one of my favourite books 'Give and Take' by Adam Grant, I can see him with his folded up sleeves and his formal coat long lost resting on the coffee table.

I guess now that I think of, they don't look in the mood of having a formal discussion with me, they already looked intimidating enough together, how the hell I'm suppose to talk in front of such magnificent males in front of me .

Though, I finally decided to let these gentlemen's know about my arrival as I cleared my throat not so ceremoniously.

Immediately those pair of dark brown eyes met mine as a strange kind of shiver ran through my spine. And trust me the way he looked at me with such grim made me think for a second that indeed he wasn't very pleased to finally meet me.

"Ahh......Kiara finally, please do come in child. Have a seat" said Mr James Trystine as both, Arthur and Mr James were on their feet as soon as they saw me.

I walked briskly towards the chair in front of the desk Mr James Trystine was sitting on, as I looked up at the man who can finally answer all my questions, which I was so eagerly waiting to question him.

"Thank you Sir, for finally giving me a chance to meet you, I'm equally thankful to Mr Arthur for helping me in this, as the questions that I want to ask you are really important" I glanced at Arthur for a second, as I saw him looking at me and Mr James Trystine amusingly, I do wonder what's going on inside his head.

"Have you eaten the pizza that I have sent for you" asked Mr James Trystine, making me scowl.

I wonder why he is concern with my appetite, there are far more crucial things to discuss rather than me eating the food, and now that I think of he is changing the subject of the conversation. Is he trying to avoid my questions, is the mundane thought running through my mind.

"I'm sorry to intervene so rudely, but I'm not here to discuss about some food. I'm here to ask you few questions Sir. My name is Kiara Gyon, I'm here to seek the truth of my father, as I'm in search of him. According to my information, last year you visited London's Lotus hotel in the fall. Where you had an important conference meeting, the people who accompanied you, I guess one of them is my father. And trust me Sir, I have been searching him for years and it's really important for me to find him."

I finally said the truth, for a second both Arthur and Mr James Trystine looked at me wearing the same grim look, as Mr James Trystine's lips curled up in a straight line.

He looked agitated; he stared at me with his dark penetrating eye's daring me to continue further. I hope I haven't been rude enough to him. But yet I can't stay put, knowing that the truth is so close to me.

"Why do you want to meet your father?"

'Why' a simple question which shouldn't bear much importance, yet it meant everything for me. My life's whole purpose is to find that bastard and question him. Yet this man sits in front of me asking why. I wasn't sure how to reply to this.

"I hate him; I hate him for leaving my mom alone. I hate him for making my life so complicated enough. For I seek revenge and nothing else, for once I want to meet the man who destroyed my mother's life, to look him in the eye and question him for his misdeeds. To question him why he left my mom alone when she needed him the most" by the time I was finished, tears welled up in my eye's as my voice break. I led my head down, ashamed of myself that I'll lose my mind again in front of some random strangers.

Even Arthur looked quite worried enough for me, as I can see a glint of concern in his eyes.

"I'm sorry to say this Kiara, but this is against our company's policy to give you the personal information about our employees"

As soon as he said that, I looked up in his eyes. I was already standing on my feet, my dark black eye's meeting his dark brown one's challenging him to dare to say anything further.

I was livid, even though I shared my life story with him; this man sitting in front of me dares to deny such a humble and polite request. Can't he understand what I'm trying to say? Why he is so emotion-less, why can't he just help me. For Christ sake he got kids of my age, doesn't he feel a slight bit of remorse towards the man I'm fucking trying to find my whole goddamn life?

Before I could say any further, my phone vibrated. Even though I was in an important meeting I eventually checked my phone, cause who knows what news it bears to me. As I very well know that only certain people have the access to my new number, it was a mail from Jyaya.

I was confused, why he has to mail me? Can't he just text me or may be just give a call. Nevertheless I opened the mail.

*

Queen Kiara Matheli Millenrai,

It is unfortunate enough to say this, but you're been called back to house of Millensh due some crucial situation back at home, which neither be discussed on mail nor through a phone call. You're called back to India, as I already filed your transfer letter from Elite High; your services are needed back here. I'm attaching the flight ticket which is scheduled by tonight at 7 pm. I'll be sending a car to collect you at 6 pm sharp.

Regards-

Jyaya The Third.

*

I lost it, I lost it as soon as I read the mail, as I fell back on my chair, tears freely flowed down my cheeks as once again I witnessed people taking control of my life, and yet again I don't have any say in it. I was on the verge of breaking down as a sob left my mouth. I don't care where I was or who is watching me right now, I cried for Christ sake I got every reason to cry today. I lost my war to find him, I lost it again. And now I would be sent back home, as once again Jyaya proved that how much control he has on my life rather than myself.

"Miss Kiara, are you alright. Here take some water" said a concerned Mr James Trystine, as I never really realised when Arthur and Mr James Trystine came by my side when I started crying. Like hell I can't even make out my surrounding as well.

I ghostly held the glass of water in front of my lips, it was then everything happened. My eye's met the flash light reflection of Mr James Trystine laptop, as the reflection on the glass desk of the Flight booking website showed me the whole truth, with one swift move I pushed past Mr James Trystine and grabbed his laptop, I didn't cared that in the process I broke the glass of water as it shattered on the floor.

I didn't cared when Arthur yelled me to stop, as my eyes only seek the truth as I saw the same ticket booked on Mr James Trystine laptop back to India, the one Jyaya mailed me.

Truth is out yet so many unanswered questions.

"Why! Why did you do this, who are you? Just tell me already who are you and why are you sending me back home. Why can't you tell the truth of my father" those were the only questions that I could say at this moment as I my head was spinning with my puzzled situation.

"For I'm your goddamn father!" yelled Mr James Trystine as I finally experienced my whole world shatter apart, hearing these words from him.

I was numb, I was speechless, and I don't know how to feel right now. Everything happening around me felt like a faded illusion in itself, is this some kind of sheer joke life is playing with me. Does the fate knows himself that how complicated he is making my life just by making me linked to the famous Trystine's, here I can't manage having one big name behind me. Adding another big name won't help my situation.

I saw an angry Mr James Trystine coming towards me, grabbing me by my shoulders, as he looked at me in the eye.

"I'm your father Kiara, and I want you to take this decision, either you leave for Millensh by tonight or come with me at my house, cause even though if you hate me so much I can't let you live all alone by yourself. Do you get that! Either leave or be with me!" said Mr James Trystine the man who is claiming to be my father.

"You're lying! You're fucking lying! you can't be my father, you can't be " I pushed him back as I cried out loud, by the time Arthur was already by my side, holding me in his arms cause currently I'm not even sure how I'm breathing.

Though this Man in front of me claims to be my father, I'm hundred percent sure he is not. Because I know very well that how much he loves his wife 'Mya Trystine'. And claiming me as his own, means betraying her, cause I'm younger then Christopher and Calypso.

And if he claims to be my father, then everything will be ruined. It would not only create the biggest controversy of the decade but also will destroy many lives and relations. James Trystine will be labelled as a betrayer, why the hell he is willing to ruin his pristine clear image for me.

But then again, even if I don't agree to this and if it is point five percent true, that he is my father then only god can save him from my wrath. Cause I'll then make sure to make his life a living hell.

As of till now I don't trust his words and I don't trust him whether he is my father or not. Something is missing which I can't really pin point at.

Currently I'm left with only one option that is to run.

And so I did, I ran away as fast as I can, Arthur tried to grab me but I dodged him easily. I pulled open the doors as I sprinted towards the exit.

"Security stop her!" yelled Mr James Trystine, as I felt a paw caging my arms as I was held back captive by those bulky looking security guards.

"Leave me...... leave me alone!" I cried back fighting and kicking the security guards, by the time a very angry and pissed off looking Mr James Trystine was in front of me, as he held me in his scrutinizing glare and intimidating shadow. If he is my dad, he very well should understand that I won't be coming with him so easily, before putting up a fight. After all I'm the daughter of Princess Matheli Millenrai.

"Arthur take out the car, we are heading straight home. And Kiara, stop fighting you're coming with us and that's final" I tried to run away from him, but Mr James Trystine grabbed me by my shoulder as he kicked off my legs, me falling in his arms as he carried me towards the exit, being held captive in his arms I tried to struggle, like hell even I tried to punch him and kick him. But that man was made of stone, he didn't even flinch.

Reaching out of the headquarters as I saw the open doors of the car, to which Mr James Trystine took me in and closed the doors, and just like that I heard the click of locking of doors which sealed my fate.

As I couldn't help but let a single stray of tear fall of my defeat today.
