Vijay's eyes filled with concern as he beckoned Elaina. She rose and walked over, sitting beside him. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her, gently placing a hand on her shoulder before kissing her forehead.
"Who was that sniper, Zaryaansh?" He asked, his gaze fixed on the man sitting across from them. Zaryaansh sipped his coffee calmly, unfazed.
"Obviously, someone who's targeting you. In my opinion, it was merely a scare. As future president you'll have numerous enemies." He spoke nonchalantly, his voice lacking concern. He glanced briefly at Elaina, whose suspicious eyes narrowed.
Vijay shifted uncomfortably, clearing his throat before crossing his legs. His expression turned serious. "I'm grateful you saved my daughter, Zaryaansh. I owe you, but I need another favor."
Zaryaansh's eyes narrowed, curiosity piqued. "What kind of favor?"
Vijay's intense gaze locked onto Zaryaansh's. "Protect Elaina. Accompany her everywhere. I can't risk her life to ruthless individuals. I want you to be her personal bodyguard."
He finishes and Elaina's gaze drifted to her father, a sly, mischievous smile spreading as she looked at zaryaansh and he shooks his head at her reaction, he knows she gonna eat his mind all along
Vijay's voice trembled with sincerity. "I know I've burdened you enough, Zaryaansh, but Elaina's safety is paramount. I won't imprison my princess in her room due to some bastards. My princess deserves freedom." He considered looking at him with sincerity
Zaryaansh's sharply inhale. "You've already have plenty of bodyguards vijay" he said after a beat of silence passed
Vijay's urgency intensified. "I'm aware but I cannot risk her safety you're obviously more capable than them"
He sighed deeply poking his tongue against his cheek "I'll think about it"
"I'll wait, take your time," he finished, rising to confront his guards for their irresponsibility.
She darted a quick glance at Zaryaansh before retreating to her room, Opening the door, she flung herself onto the bed.
Did she take it too far? Will her father accept this after knowing how she desires him? She closed her eyes in deep thought, and in that very moment, his face appeared – his gray eyes boring into hers. She recalled how different he looked last night, how he broke every chain around him and let the real beast inside him show.
"Monster," she whispered to herself. "My monster." A faint smile spread across her lips, growing wider by the second.
She giggled uncontrollably, rolling on her bed, but her joy was short-lived. A soft knock on the door made her panic, and she fell to the floor with a thud.
