Precap for Rise of the Devil - Part 5

Arnav’s POV

I have never been threatened or commanded before. Today is first and who did that? Khushi Gupta. Ever since she has returned to this place, finishing her graduation, my productivity has hampered. I don’t understand why she gives me that look, why she watches me like she needs me the most? And me? Whenever she does any of that, I lose myself to that moment. The past five years when I started being Shashi Gupta’s shadow, I had seen her pictures in this house. She had me mesmerized since then but a woman cannot break my focus is what I had been teaching my mind ever since I felt my hormones bubbling for her. When I first saw her live after all these years, standing by the window, admiring me, ogling my body, it was that moment I realized she is the only one who has that power to wrap me around her life. Her open flirting, her innocence, her concern for my bruises, her challenges to run away from this place, everything has captured my heart, mind and body. I know she is looking to escape from this place, run away from her father as far as possible and settle down in a place where there is no harm, no pain and most importantly, no blood. But she doesn’t know that’s practically impossible. Anyone who takes birth in a family like this, can never escape any of this. We are marked by our enemies ever since we are born.

Note: Finally, as you'll requested, here is the point of view of Arnav Malik

SNEAK PEEK 1

The Duty Manager looks behind me and his face turns pale. He immediately bows his head down and I am curious to see why he behaved like that. I quickly swing my head back to see who stood behind me and there I see him. A handsome man, almost three inches taller to me, stands in White Shirt and blue jeans. My heart skips a beat. His thick black hair is little longer and even looking at them prickles my fingers. I have met many handsome men so far, all thanks to my brother Viren’s social circle, but this man here has surpassed all of them. He gives me a quick glance and then he tilts his head to see the Duty Manager. 

“That’s not the way you deal with Customers” 

The way this stranger says it and the Duty manager politely nods, makes me think he is the General manager I am looking for. 

“Oh, so you are his head? What kind of Staff have you hired?” 

I don’t like shouting at him but he needs to know that. At least next time no other customers will feel offended like I am at the moment. 

“I am extremely sorry Miss?” 

“Ria Dewan” I snap. 

As if sensing something, his face tightens. People have given me that look knowing who I am. My brother Viren Dewan is a Billionaire and I am happily enjoying all its perks wherever I go. 

“Miss Dewan, how can I help you?” He slides his palms in his pant pockets and every nerve in my body does a happy dance. The authoritative pose he gives is not something I would like to miss.
