"I didn't drink that much today. Why is this headache happening?" She muttered in dizziness her lashes became so heavy she couldn't lift them properly, her eyes were twitching.
"Boom! Boom!" Her heart stopped beating on the sound of the explosions.
"What's happening?!! What's that sound?" She screamed in panic.
"Ma-Mam. It's a blast!. It happened under our vehicles." He let out in a quavering voice and raised the car speed.
"What!!" The bomb blast in the vehicles of the bodyguard shook her whole existence. She dialled the number of Danial immediately for help.
"Why is there no signal in my phone?" She was astounded and asked the driver.
"Mam! I told you. This is a remote area. If we die here no one will know about that and we will not even get a coffin after death." He explained to her and frightened her more by truth.
"What will we do now? I don't want to die" She said while gasping for breath.
"Mam! Death and Life are not in my hands." He said.
"Don't say this. Please save me. I don't want to die too soon and not this drastic way. No!" She pleaded with him in a begging way her wrong decision in blind pride put her in adversity.
"Mam! All I can do is to not stop the car until we reach the mansion." He was also terrified by the disastrous circumstances but he consoled her.

In the Casino.
Ayaan's phone was ringing but he was deeply engaged in playing cards. He didn't notice the ring.
"I have lost again." Ayaan burned inside in anger. It was the third time he couldn't win a single game. It was ironic that being defeated by an adolescent girl. It hurted his ego poorly.
"Defeat is written in your Destiny." The girl taunted and got up from the chair.
"What rubbish!..." He gazed at her.
"Nothing! First, you need to know how to play games, then dare to play with a pro player. Maybe, you can win the first round but when the pro comes back he destroys everything to win." she cut him off and smirked.
He clenched his fist in frustration." b***h!" He said it while gazing at her back. His voice was low but she listened to him.
"Excuse me!! I am Marina, not a b***h. this word suits your wife best." Mariana said.
"I am sorry. Can we.. Umm" Ayaan apologised immediately. He did not intend to frustrate a pretty girl.
"Can we drink?" looking at his hesitation, Marina asked him first.
"No! Mam. You can not drink this time." Her Secretary Stella came and stopped her to reply.
"Why can't I?" Marina asked, narrowing her eyes on Stella for her uniformed arrival.
"It's your brother's command Marina mam." Stella said while making a call.
"Brother's command?" After hearing it's the call of her brother. Ignoring Ayaan, Marina grabbed her clutch in a hasty manner and walked out of the Casino with Stella.
Ayaan looked at her back desperately. He had missed the chance to flirt with her.
He took out his phone which was ringing continuously in his pocket to receive the call.
"Who is the son of a jerk calling me this time?" He looked at the phone. It was Danial.
"Why is he calling me? Hello!" Firstly Ayaan did not intend to attend his phone call but he had to receive the call.
"Ayaan! I told you to send Hoorain home. Why is Hoorain not home yet?" Danial asked worriedly from the other side.
"She had left the hotel. I think half an hour has passed." Ayaan replied.
"Tell me honestly! Are you sure that she walked out of the hotel?" Danial interrogated suspiciously.
"Yeah! She had left the casino and I don't know additional information about her. You can call the driver for your interrogation. She is not with me right now and I don't have any idea whom she is with." He was drowned in the game. How could he know what kind of downfall she was facing at that time.
"Ayaan!! Two hours have passed since I sent the car." Danial was pissed off.
"So, Call the driver." Ayaan was bored of Danial.
"The driver's phone is switched off and Hoorain is not receiving the call, that's why I call you Ayaan." Danial shouted at the impassive man, Ayaan was not a little worried about Hoorain.
"Hey! Low your voice. I am tolerating your misbehaviour. It doesn't mean you have the right to shout at me. Do you forget who my father is?" Ayaan was provoked. Instead of answering him decently he humiliated him.
"You are a son of a gangster!!. If something happens to my daughter!. I will forget whose son you are. You know it better." Danial said in an icy tone and ended the phone call. His ironic words were harsh. It boiled the blood of Ayaan. He clenched his fist in frustration.
*******
In Danial's Mansion,
"Ayaan! My daughter is an obstacle between you and me. I can send you hell in no minute. I can do this, you know me well." Danial was walking restlessly in the living hall while cursing Ayaan.
He dialled Hoorain's phone number again but the phone had been switched off. Mark, one of his men, entered the mansion.
"Do you get any information about Hoorain?" He asked immediately. He was eager to hear about Hoorain.
"Boss! The thing is…. you can see yourself." Mark handed him the iPad hesitantly.
It was the website of a news channel, they were showing footage of a tragic accident that night in a remote area.
Five to six cars were found in a devastated state by police.
"It seemed the explosion was all plotted. Someone did this deliberately." He read the headline.
"Why are you showing…" Danial's eyes and heart were frozen when he saw the Mercedes sent by him to bring Hoorain in the video.
They recorded the driver's dead body in the front seat of the car. He was shot in the middle of his head.
Danial hired guards for Hoorain's safety. This was included in their responsibility to follow her car wherever she went, even with her husband. The cars which used to shield Hoorain against foes. Their bodies were shattered by the blast.
Everything seemed blurry to Hoorain. The phone dropped from her hand in unsteady condition.
The driver had been shot. After slaying the driver. Zaryab headed toward the car. He opened the door by smashing it using the bullets and grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her out of the car vigorously.
She felt his clenching finger on her skin she resisted in the weak at the knees condition. She punched on his chest from her sensitive hands which gave him a feeling of soft cushion on chest after all he had masculine body. He lifted her into his arms and she collapsed in another second in his cage.
*******
Marina got into the car in frustration. She gave Stella death glares who sat beside her.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Stella raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Tell me the truth." Marina took out the revolver from underneath the seat.
"I didn't say a single word to your brother." Stella said hurriedly looking at her interrogating eyes.
"If I drown, I will drag you too with me." Marina clenched her teeth and threatened Stella with her eagle eyes.
"He asked me about you so I had to tell your brother that you are here to trap Ayaan in your honey tongue and what you were intending to do with him." She confessed in one breath.
"Stella! You are dead." Clenching her fist, Marina gazed at Stella.
********
When Zaryab opened the door Hoorain was awake. He turned on the lights of the room. He was waiting to look at her expression. They were about to meet face to face after that incident which changed everything between them. She was scared of Zaryab who was having her ironic smile instead of a warm smile to relieve her.
Why would he sympathise with her? She was not his fiance anymore but a hypocrite who stabbed him in the name of love. She cheated on him.
"Put your feet on the floor again! You will know the difference between hallucinations and reality." He commanded to look at his surprise for her which he kept safe for this moment.
He was broken a thousand times by her but her last attack was unbearable. He used to drink day and night and threw the bottles on the floor. He didn't clean the smashed bottle of whine from the floor. He saved it for Hoorain that one day he would force her to walk on them.
"How is my present Miss World? Do you like it?"
Hoorain means the most beautiful woman in heaven. She was not from heaven but her beauty was not so common on earth. Zaryab used to call her Miss World. She used to be his whole world. He always adored her elegance but that time there was a taunt, an offence was hidden in his tone for her.
Zaryab used to give her footwear. She had soft and sensitive feet which she never let a dust touch, and It was bleeding badly. She was staring at the glass all around the bed and he was looking at her impassive way.
"Why am I caged here?" she muttered, her mind was blunt on this thought.
"Why did you seize me here? " She was startled by his audacity. She had been abducted, even under tight security but she might be forgetting something.
He was Zaryab Mirza, the youngest Billionaire of the business world. The inner beast of Zaryab woke up cruelly on deceptive people. In his life, what he hated the most was lies and backstabbing. He did not receive inner peace until he sent all his opponents to hell mercilessly who stabbed him back and took his advantage.
He had to make allies with the most powerful Mafia of Singapore just to grab the necks of Dawood and his daughter Hoorain.
"Tell me!! Zaryab!" She was shouting in frustration but inside she was panicked by Zaryab who was pouring red wine into the glass silently.
"You know me well what I do to extinguish the fire of vengeance inside me. I just turned all your best bodyguards into ashes." Taking a sip of whine, he told her in a normal tone as if it was a piece of cake for him.
"And You know about my father too. If he knows that I am being seized by you. He will not let you go. Understand!" He smirked at her way of threatening him and took another sip of the drink.
"You can't hold me here. Let my dad come here. He will deal with you." She said in a quavering voice.
He pointed it toward her, a shiver running through her body death was near her and she couldn't do anything to save herself from him.
Zaryab! The matter was settled on that you have to wait until Haris is turned eighteen. My Dad vowed that he will avenge your family, but you would not harm me."
"Self"If you succeed in running away from here, you! You will be able to tell anyone. Miss World!" His words stopped her heartbeat for a moment.
"Will he kill me?" She thought.
"Have you lost your memory? No problem. For your sake, I will help you to recall everything. We are on your favourite yacht." He pampered her wholeheartedly but she deceived him heartlessly. He had to lose something which could not be brought to this life again.
"Do you remember that we are cousins?" He raised his eyebrows while pouring another drink.
"Why do you take me here?" words stuck in her mouth, she barely asked but he didn't respond.
"Are you going to kill me? Zaryab!" She asked innocently.
He walked towards her."You guessed right, Miss World." His face was expressionless. She stepped down on pieces of glass silently. He has transformed completely and became ten times more dangerous than he ever had.
"Or what? Is there any other reason to keep you here?" He said while smirking.
