Ariel's P.O.V.

"-And from that day, I became protective towards my elder sister, just like how your brothers are for you" Jayden said smiling.

I forced smiled at him and nodded.

Yes, me and Jayden are talking with each other for who knows how long. He is good and kind guy. I love his nature and behaviour. He never let me feel alone here.

I am ok here but still I am feeling incomplete. I am nothing without my brothers, my twins. I missed them so much. I missed our fights, our bickerings, our hugs and cuddles.

I again want to go in my brothers' protective arms.

"Jay, your mom is calling you" Max said, glaring at me, coming in living room where me and Jay were sitting.

"Ohh ok, I am going" He told him and turned towards me.

"Ari, I don't know what you are thinking but I definitely know that you are sad" Jayden whispered to me.

My eyes widened.

Am I that oblivious ?

"Never feel alone. I am always there, whenever you need. Take care, hmm ?" He told me.

I looked at Max only to see staring at my soul and narrowed his eyes at Jayden.

I don't know what to reply so I just nodded with a small forced smile.

He sighed and turn towards Max and did some bro hug and left the room with Max.

I sighed.

Jayden Oberoi, a stranger who eventually become my close friend in just a week.

According to him, he is a nerd with those glasses and he is not even happy with his appearance. He also told me that he proposed his long time crush and his crush not only rejected him but also insulted him infront of whole cafeteria saying 'Nerds doesn't deserve Queens'. And from that day, he don't like his appearance and style.

But who is going to tell him that he looks super cuteeeee in those glasses. Actually he is cool to hang out al-

I came out of my thoughts when someone come infront of me.

"My Doll, you know how much I adore you" Collin said caressing my cheeks.

I yanked his hand.

"Stay away from me" I told him angrily.

His eyes grew darker. I gulped seeing his face.

"Don't you think, you are now becoming disrespectful, huh ?" He gritted his teeth.

I rolled my eyes at him.

Suddenly, he chuckled.

"Show as much attitude you want, because when my boss will get you today, your whole attitude will be crashed" Collin said smirking.

My eyes widened.

Today ?

"Today will be last day of your happiness. Because from tomorrow, your golden old days will be back." He told me holding my arms.

He suddenly hugged me and whispered in my ears, which ran shiver down to my spine "Remember old days of Zeoni and his Beatings ?"

My eyes widened at his name.

He was my nightmare.

My eyes brimmed with tears. I don't want this. I don't want to go to him. I don't want that life. It hurts. It always hurts. I want my brothers. I want their warm hugs.

Collin smirked at my shocked face and left the room.

I couldn't help but lost my balance and fall on my knees and burst in tears.

My breath become uneven. I am sweating. Words and memories flooded infront of my eyes.

Didn't I told you my little bitch, you can't escape me !

I will always get you, no matter what !

"NO, N-No ...No, N-No"

That time you have Aryan, now who is going to save you my bitch, hmm ?

"A-Ar-ryan"

My little bitch, you are mine, only mine !!

"N-No"

My heartbeat started getting faster. My chest is paining too much.

My fingers grab my locket tightly. I remembered how Ryan helped me during my panic attack. I hold my locket in tight grasp and try to calm myself.

My breathing is still uneven.

I keep reminding myself that Zeoni is not here, he will never be here.

Eventually, I calmed down.

No, I can't live here. I have to go now.

I stood up thinking this.

If Collin's boss is going to take me today, then I have to ran from here as fast as I could.

I immediately go in my room and started pacing around the room.

Mansion is under CCTV surveillance, bodyguards are surrounded the whole Mansion.

How I will escape ?

I came out of my thoughts by someone barging in my room.

I flinched due to sudden voice of door opening with thud.

Maves and Matt, two other sons of Collin came.

"Heyyyyyy beautifulllllll" Matt slurred.

My eyes widened.

"Sexxxyyyyy *hiccup* ho- *hiccup* -otttt" Maves said and chuckled at himself.

I gulped seeing them drunk.

They both stand at my door supporting each other.

"W-What are you both doing here ?" I asked them trying to be brave.

"Babygirl *hiccup* you know you are *hiccup* making us cr- *hiccup* -razyyy" Maves slurred coming towards me.

"You all were already crazy enough" I muttered.

"I don't know whyyyyy Dad is *hiccup* obeying that fucker boss" Matt said sitting on my bed glaring at wall.

"We so *hiccup* badly want to tas- *hiccup* -ste y-you" Matt continued standing up and coming to me.

I backed away.

I was going to ran away from the room but someone more specifically Maves hold my wrist and pinned me on the wall.

I widened my eyes. My breath hitched. Tears brimmed my eyes.

He looked at my lips and lick his own lips. He touched his thumb to my lips and then lick his thumb.

I don't like this.

I started struggling in his grip but he was stronger than me. I gulped.

He leaned towards me. I shut my eyes tightly feeling disgusted in myself only.

When I feel his breath on my face, out of reflex, I kicked his balls. His eyes widened. His grip from my arms loses. He groaned in pain holding it.

Matt's eyes widened too. His eyes become dark. He clenched his fist and came towards me like a rage bull. He pulled my hair so tightly. My tears started falling because of pain.

He pulled me towards him. I pushed him away from me but all goes in vain. When he tried to kiss me, again out of reflex, I slapped him on his left cheek. His grip from my hair lose. He hold his cheek and growl on me.

I gulped and backed away from him. He immediately slammed me on behind wall. My head hit wall. I closed my eyes tightly in pain.

"P-Please don't d-do t-this" I whispered, with tears still running down from my closed eyes.

He chuckled. Not friendly one. That ran shiver down to my spine.

"No one will save you from me, Babygirl" He whispered.

He lean forward to kiss me.

I could feel his breath on me. My breath again started getting uneven.

Before his lips touch mine, my hands touched vase from surrounding. I grabbed that vase and hit on his head without wasting time.

"Ahhhhh" He screamed holding his head which is now bleading.

I didn't waste single second for running out of the room. But before I could make any further, my body collided with another body and I fell down on my butt.

My breath was still uneven and tears are still streaming down. I looked up only to see Collin looking at me like angry bull. His eyes were red from anger.

He chocked me and made me stand.

"How. Dare. You. To. Hit. My. Sons ?" He gritted his teeth chocking me hard. I started gasping for air, struggling in his tight grasp, But nothing work.

"A-Ahh, l-leave me" I whispered coughing.

"You know, I can kill you in matter of second, but I am forced to keep you alive" He said and left my neck.

I started coughing badly for air. I grasp air to make my breathing normal.

He hold my upper arm and pushed me to two maids. Those maid immediately hold me, saved me from falling.

"Ready her. Make sure not a single finger print will be seen on her body" Collin ordered coldly to them. They immediately nodded and take me with them to another room.

They made me sit on one chair infront of mirror.

I looked at my reflection.

So broken.

"Mam, Umm we don't know what is happening with you, but you know we can help you" one maid who is brushing my hair asked me.

I looked at her.

Is it good to trust stranger ?

"I know, you can't trust us, but looking all these things, I can only suggest you one thing, umm Run away" other maid who is doing my makeup said.

I looked at her shocked and whispered "How ? Bodyguards are there- "

"We know one secret place from where you can go out of this mansion" first maid whispered.

"Where it is ?" I asked them.

"Kitchen window will lead you to that place" other said.

I thought for some time and nodded.

"Just come to kitchen after 5-7 minutes, we will tell you where to go further" maid said.

Time Skip (in kitchen)

"Mam, did you saw that cabin ?" That maid ask from kitchen window pointing at one room.

I nodded.

"There is a gate behind that cabin which is abandoned from years. There are no bodyguards at that place. This was the only way to go out from this Mansion without being caught" she told me smiling.

I smiled at her.

"Thank you so much" I whispered to them. They smiled.

"We heard that your brother is a Mafia King ?" One maid said.

I widened my eyes.

Why they are asking me this question ?

"Y-Yeah"

"Please tell him to kill Collin" Her eyes grew darker by every word.

I frowned in confusion.

Other maid sighed and rubbed back of first maid soothingly.

"C-Collin r-raped and killed my s-sister and h-her d-daughter" She whispered in tears.

My jaw dropped in shock.

I immediately hug them and they hug back. I started rubbing their back.

"We are ok, don't worry hmm ? Now you should run from here before anyone could see you" she said.

I nodded and wiped my tears.

I smiled at them and jumped out from the window of kitchen and ran towards cabin.

That cabin is luxurious.

I ran past that cabin and as expected there is a abandoned gate behind that cabin.

I looked my behind to see there is no one.

I relaxed and immediately ran from there. I opened that gate and started running without thinking twice.

After some seconds of running, I looked around only to see woods. I was panting heavily.

Now, where should I go ?

I looked here and there and started running in my right hand direction.

I am running as fast as I could when I heard footsteps behind me. I bit my lips to stop myself from crying. I didn't looked back and continue my running.

I was so busy in thinking that who is behind me or how I will go to my home that I didn't noticed something or someone infront of me, leads me to collide him. I immediately backed away.

I looked up to see the face but as sunlight directly come at my eyes which makes me hard to see the face of that person.

But still, I feel like he smirked.

He take a step forward.

My eyes widened seeing my worst nightmare infront of me, I couldn't form words.

I am scared was an understatement, I was terrified.

"Z-Zeoni" I whispered.

Before I could comprehend anything, I felt a little pain on my neck.

Darkness surrounded me. I tried to not to close my eyes but it became difficult with every second passed.

The last thing I heard before darkness fully consumed me is,

"I am back, my little bitch"
