" Phew!! " I exhaled out a long breath which I was holding it for a while.

Thank God finally this medicine application thing is done . This was so damn uncomfortable for me to let HIM do that ....... but he was right about 'the treatment on time' part , more the delay of treatment more the damage will worsen.

Whatever happened yesterday was like a havoc been unleashed upon us by those wild elephants. They were so mad that they killed so many of his men in a blink and tossed our chariot making us fall. It was just our luck that we survived such a disaster.

I can't thank God enough for saving my life ... well...our life from such an accident but Siddharth Veer didn't acted any less then any God's angel to save my life while falling. I know how he purposely pulled me close to him and embraced me tightly so that I get less hurt. Being an enemy and inspite of hating me from his core , he just saved me.

I know that he must be doing it all because of his tiniest bit humanity whatever is left in him for an enemy daughter like me but still nothing changes, as once situation gets okay he will be back to his previous jerk form but right now so far it's mostly good.

Looking at him really made me feel bad for him for the first time ever as I have never seen him so worn out before, his clothes most filled with dirt and torn a little, his body covered with wounds and injuries, his crown missing but still inspite of all this he is still somehow pulling himself together and moving on with a zeal.

After a while or so Siddharth Veer entered in the cave. He side glanced at me and walked near the bunch of those bananas. I don't know why but he looked a little sad.

What could have happened that he returned with a sad face, because when he was here grinding and applying medicine he didn't look sad . I think he is sad because of this recent loss of his men in that disaster.

Yesterday when we were on our silent hunt for a safe shelter in this forest. He really looked very sad. I know that sudden loss of his men is the only reason for his sad and weird behaviour.......other than that, whatelse it could be??

"Eat your full and then we have to move forward to find our way up to the surface road ." He said ordering without looking at me. His tone reflecting a little rudeness on it.

For filling my empty stomach I didn't really needed to be ordered by him or anyone for that matter. I went near the banana bunch and glanced at his sad face and said being concerned in a sad tone.

"I am very sorry about the loss of your men "

" That's none of your matter to be concerned of and by the way don't try so hard to be friendly with me, because you can never be my friend. " He said rudely with his angry expression making my jaws drop in shock and anger.

I almost opened my mouth to give him a good fitting answer to that but instead I just kept quite and angrily snatched some bananas and walked away to sit in the corner.

As soon as we were done, we again started our journey to reach up to the surface and find help to get back to the palace.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

We walked for long and finally got a root which was not difficult to walk to our way up. It was filled with numerous trees and muds and rocks.

As like always, silently we walked. Suddenly he asked noticing my feet.

" Where is your shoes ?? "

" I don't know. " I answered irritatingly rolling my eyes.

" What's that suppose to mean ?? " He asked, also walking along with me.

" God !! It must have got out of my feet while falling and why do you care ?? " I answered in the same tone.

" I am noticing it now " he said more to himself

"Here ... where mine." He said removing his own shoes and offered me to wear them.

" Thanks but I got enough from you ." I said sarcastically in the same rude tone just the way he said to me earlier.

" Wait !! Stop walking. There are dry sticks everywhere. You will get hurt " he said.

I scoffed and said

" Like you care ?? And I am having no problem walking in bare foot " I continued giving him rude replies and took a step forward and felt a pricking pain on my right foot.

" Aaaah ...." I screamed in pain clutching my feet.

And exactly just the same thing happened. The pricking pain was due to a thorn which pierced in my feet. I leaned on to a near by tree for support as I wasn't able to stand steady.

He rushed near me to help me remove the thorn.

" See... this is what I was telling you about . Let me help. " he looked panic.

Inspite of feeling pain of my bleeding feet. I forbade him to come any near me.

" Thank you but I can help myself."

By the look of his face I could make out that he genuinely wanted to help me but keeping in mind about his last rude behaviour I received, I refused to take his 'so call' help.

I somehow managed to pull the thorn out but was not able to walk like before. I noticed that he was looking at me and my feet with concern.

" You don't listen and now look what happened ??"

" You don't have to worry. I can walk " I said looking elsewhere frowning my face.

" If you care to tell me how with a bleeding feet you are planning to walk??" He said being clueless with irritation.

" I can manage." I instantly told him without thinking but for the matter of fact even I was clueless about it.

Now after when I have told him that ' I can manage ' how can I now ask for any sort of help and so I took a step to walk but like it was expected it turned out to be a stupid act as I couldn't walk a step with an injured feet like this .

"I know you are not going to listen anything but I will do what I have to. " Telling that,

He suddenly came closer to me, killing all the distances between us and bending a little he quickly just placed his hand under my things and his other hand behind my back and just lifted me into his arms in a bridal style making my jaws drop and eyes go wide in surprise.

"Put me down. " I shook my leg vigorously due to his sudden act.

" keep quiet and be a good girl ." He ordered looking right into my eyes.

" I said just put me down. " I continued trying to get away from him but instead of getting away he further more tightened his hold on me bring me awkwardly more closer to him. I could feel his tough muscles and his steel chest rise and fall due to his heavy breathing.The distance was too little between us and our faces were an inch closer to each other. my breath got hitched as he pinned me with intense glare.

Looking deep into his eyes all I could see his seriousness mixed with determination. I noticed his eyes slowly travelled from my eyes to my nose and stopped on my lips . By his expressions I could make out there was something intense going on in his mind, but what ?? that was far from my understanding but it was something which he was trying hard to fight off.

I lowerd my eyes and looked away to break the awkwardness. He too composed himself bringing me back my previous posture still holding me up but gently.

Detaching his gaze from me he looked forward and walked quietly on his way holding me carefully and I , left with no other option was forced to be in his arms which made me feel like a helpless big baby.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

I slowly opened my eyes only to know that I fell asleep in his arm placeing my head on his shoulder. Noticing me being awake he said softly without looking at me.

" Rise and shine sleepy head. "

I bit my lower lip in embarassment because I slept carefree on his arms while he had to bare all my weight and walk in this difficult paths of this jungle.

I don't blame myself to fall asleep as I can only see trees and trees everywhere and am with a person who doesn't really talk to me much and right now I am up in his arms plus the swaying motion while walking was lulling me to sleep and there was nothing else I could have done to stay awake.

" I am sorry..... I slept." I said feeling guilty mixed with embarrassment.

Keeping his eyes straight ahead he said gently.

" It's okay to sleep whenever you feel like."

I stayed silent on that but he suddenly out of nowhere with his tone full of senciarity he said.

" I am sorry. " Hearing that my brows did a nose dive and my face expressed question mark.

He took a quick glance at my confused face and continued

" I was rude back then whereas you were just consoling me for the loss of my men." Hearing him apologising to ME , just made me go dumbfounded. I just stared at him being shock while he was busy concentrating on his walking path.

" Why are you starting at me??" He asked without looking at me while still continuing looking forward. As soon as he caught me doing that I quickly blinked fast to look elsewhere and clarified instantly

" I wasn't. " He very well knew that I lied being shy to which he smirked a little.

It is really hard for me to understand him sometimes. One time he is hurting me with his rude replies and the other time he is all of a sudden being a gentleman saying sorry for the same. Once he separates me away from my friends and the next time he ask me to keep a rabbit as a pet. Whatever it is but I cannot deny the fact that he actually helped me and saved me several times.

Hearing his apology a question arised in my mind

" but I don't understand ......" I trailed off in the middle as I thought I heard a fade voice but I ignored and spoke again

" but I don't understand that ........." I paused again as I again heard something, as If someone's call.

" What ...?? " Siddharth Veer looked at me waiting for me to complete my sentence but instead I asked him

" Do you hear something ?? " I said trying to concentrate again on to that voice and this time we both stayed silent and focused on our hearing and again we heard .

This time we both heard the same call. It was coming from far as a soft wave, within a moment we heard again and this time it was quite audible to us . Someone was screaming aloud. "Your....Highness..... "

We looked at each other with our broad eyes and looked at the direction from where the voice came and both of us shouted with all our lungs out

" WE .....ARE.... HERE..... "

It took us some time to get to the rescue team as well as for them to get any closer to us simultaneously. We were so happy to see few army men from his troop walking hurriedly to get to us to finally take us back to the palace.

🧚‍♀️ : Hey beauties your check out my 2nd Book

.......

Here is a glimpse

I

kept walking deeper inside my office . Walking further my eyes roughly scrolled but stopped at the glass which showed me my reflection on it .

I was surprised as I was weirdly not wearing my usual office formal Coat and pencil skirt but instead I was wearing my silk short Lacy night gown which I always wear for my bed. It like a bra attached with a cute short frock.

While I was just looking at my reflection Suddenly I heard some flapping sounds in Janet's cubicle . I quickly marathoned my way there and went to check on the same.

But when I finally reached there to my disappointment there was no one but only some pages flapping due to wind coming from the little gap of the window pane .

I walked further inside the cubicle and placed a heavy file on it to stop them from flapping .

Finding nothing here to I took some slow backsteps to get out of the cubicle and the moment When I turned to walk away .

I sucked an audible breath as I almost got a heart attack to see Zack Westwood standing right in front of me in an arm length distance , looking at me wearing his evil smirk which was enough to send me chills.

I went scared stiff to find him here when there's no one around because all I wanted was to keep a mile like distance between us after whatever happened in Florida.

" YOU ??!! ... Wh- What are you doing here ?" I asked in my fearful voice but still kept the strong hold on it so that he doesn't get a hint of my fear.

" I was waiting for you ?? " He said boring his eyes in mine and and took at step closer wearing his smirk intimidating me.

"Wa- wai- ting for me ??" I gulped while He again stepped forward and I stepped back.

" Yeah... only for you Eva Blue. " And again the same with his step making me back off.

" D -don't you come any closer to me " I warned him pointing my finger at him and suddenly the back of my leg got hit to something making me fall back. The place where I fell was soft and fluffy and again to my weird surprise it was a bed.

"Where did this bed came from?? "I wondered between my fear

I raised my head a bit to find Zack taking his last greedy steps towards me.

I quickly sat up placing my hands back on the bed and dragged myself back trying to create much distance between us. Falling on the bed my short night dress got collected in the angle between my waist and thighs now totally exposing my entire legs to him.

Zack's smirk was gone as he was now looking at my deep arcs of my cleavage and my legs hungrily. His eyes lustfully travelled on every visible skin of my body sending creeps to my gut.

I was breathing hard as my chest rise and fall in tension to watch him take a step further placeing his knees on the edge of the mattress . Kneeling on it he removed his coat now only wearing his linen shirt who's sleeves were folded and a black trouser.

" I said Stop there or else I will scream ." I warned him in my shaky voice.

" Be my guest , Love . Scream as much as you wish. " He said maintaining his piercing eyes on me.

Somehow shaking off my fear I quickly jumped from the side of the bed to save myself and tried to run from him but my attempt went in vain as he tightly gripped my hand and stopped me from fleeing.

Holding me with both of his hands he pushed me again on the bed which caused me to bounce on the mattress. The moment I fell on my back he instantly pounced on my body and spread his legs over mine to minimise my leg movements. I wriggled under him to free myself but my efforts were of no use as he was way more stronger than me. His weight was making my breathing even more difficult while I kept on struggling under him.

" Let me go ..... arrggh "

I tried to push him away with my hands but he helded both of my wrists and pinned them on the bed cutting all my chances to fight back . Fixing his eyes on mine he breathed hard.

" LET GO OFF ME " I shouted baring my teeth while my eyes spilled fire on him.

" Never " he said and chuckled like a manic.

Instead of letting me go he bought both my hand above my head and hooked something metal around my wrist locking it down. My eyes widened as to the addition to my horror I realised that he locked my hands with a handcuff and interlocked it with the metal rail of the bed

" NNNN NNO NO. please Zack No. don't do this." I pleaded as now I was not even able to move my hands.

"I love when you take my name from those soft lips of your ." He levelled his eyes to mine and looked at my lips.

"Watching you in cuffs is already giving me kinks and I Can't wait to get inside you AGAIN. " He stressed the last word 'Again ' and flashed his malicious smile. Saying that he slowly crawled down at the spot between my legs still fixing his eyes on me while I watched him with my ribs breaking heart beat and my tied up hands.

" PLEASE NO." I yelled.

I tried to kick him with my leg but before I could he grabbed the ankles of both of my legs and forced my legs apart to spread as wide as possible and disgustingly lowered his head and buried his face between my legs making me scream all my lungs out in disgust.

" NOOOOOOOOO."
