Chasing MOONLIGHT

K.K Corporation, India

"Is this how you work?", the co-owner of the company shouted at the team.

"If you think the company needs an employee like you then you must be dreaming", Her voice was high and her piercing gazes were enough for them to tremble.

"What are you all doing?", the Authoritative voice made them sweat.

"Redo Everything. I'll give you a week to sort this out. You better not disappoint me or else - - - Meeting adjourned" " she finished, stood up from the chair.

Without blinking an eye, NISHMA NEIL KHANNA left the conference room and returned to her cabin.

Devil - - Daitya - - Asura . . .

Nishma was aware of all those names that were called behind her back but she didn't care about it. All she needed was to make sure she wouldn't make her father - 'Neil Khanna' and Uncle- 'Arjun Kashyap' down.

"Madam! Here, the recent report about the market", Her assistant came with another assistant and placed the papers on the table.

She read the context and a few seconds later, her brows wrinkled in a tight-knit.

*SLAM*

"What's the meaning of this? Does K&K Corporation not excel? then why the hell is this stupid MNO corporation trying to monopolize everything?", Nishma's voice was loud and clear which alarmed them.

Nishma's two fragile assistants flinched.

"Is this all that old man's work?", Nishma asked grittedly and stared at the two assistants.

"No! Madam, Rumors are that they're planning to change management to enter our market this year?", Nishma's assistant replied to her.

"How much time do we have?", Nishma organized herself and tried to suppress her anger.

Her assistant fell silent.

"Speak", Nishma spoke in a cold tone

There was no trace of emotions on her face but the voice contained chillness in every word.

"Answering Madam. We only have 2-3 months left", Her assistant gulped and replied immediately to her.

Her assistant was afraid that anytime soon, she and another assistant, both of them inside this cabin would die in a very devilish way.

Because their Co CEO was none other than the DEVIL's Crown PRINCESS

Nishma didn't speak but the Coldness in the surrounding area increased.

"So cold, Antartica, Antartica is here", Another assistant mentally cried but lacked tears.

"I want to go home", Her other assistant wanted to wail and plead for mercy.

Suddenly, a chilled laughter echoed in the cabin. The laughter didn't contain any happiness but malice and death.

"Madam is so scary", Both of Nishma's assistants thought and clenched their hands tightly.

Two assistants were trying their best not to fall because of their shaking legs. How could a 20-year-old college student be so ruthless, emotionless, cold-hearted, and Devil?

They shivered under Nishma's quietness.

"Contact all the stockholders. Make an appointment for our emergency meeting in three days", Nishma thought and told her assistant.

"Okay, Madam", Both of the assistants immediately nodded and left Antarctica at that moment.

Nishma was thinking of informing Arjun and Neil about the marketing issues but soon her phone rang and she answered the call only to hear the scolded voice of the other person.

"You! Daughter of a Devil", A soft feminine voice came from the other side.

"What's wrong, Mom? Why did you call me?", Nishma asked her mother, Aashmaan Khanna.

"Why? I need an appointment to call you?", Aashmaan spoke and her voice sounded grumpy.

"Mom! It's not like this. I'm going to college. I've had classes in an hour", Nishma talked to her and tried to hide her tensions.

"Nishu! Can't you stop working in the meantime and focus on your mother who is sick", Aashmaan talked in a soft tone and sounded like a wounded pup.

"Mom! You are not sick. We met in the morning", Nishma lightly growled at her mother's words 'SICK'.

A series of light coughs made Nishma panic.

"Mom! Are you alright?", Nishma asked and Aashmaan on the other side grinned widely.

"My decision is final whether you like it or not, you will marry this year, or else just forget that you have a mother", Aashmaan spoke angrily.

The phone call ended.

All she could hear was the disconnected tone. Nishma sat down on the sofa and didn't know what to do.

Nishma looked out the window for a while. There, she saw her reflection.

Her reflection was vanishing under the pressure of, proving herself to her father, Uncles, and brothers that she could handle everything all alone, without them, without their help.

She sighed weakly.

Nishma was only 20 but her dressing style was like a typical businesswoman with a fitting suit, high bun, and no makeup.

She wanted to be a normal young girl but at the same time she didn't want to disturb the normal life of her father, Uncle (Arjun Kashyap), and Brother (Shaurya Kashyap)

Her cousin, Shaurya recently got married and she did not want him to spend his time in the office.

Nishma checked her phone calls and found 4 to 5 missed calls from her younger brothers Nilay and Shiv and the elder brothers Shaurya and Abhimanyu.

(Abhimanyu Singh Rathore is the male lead of the book KING AND HIS DARK OBSESSIVE DESIRES. Shiv is the male lead of TAMING MR. HADES)

Nishma exhaled a deep breath.

Who on earth wouldn't want to dress up and be pretty? Nishma too wanted to live like this but being the eldest child of her father made her choose different ways.

Like, Hide her true self.

Nobody knew that deep inside their outer shell hid a girl who only wanted to be pampered and loved. A normal girl who cried while watching a romantic scene, loved soothing colors, music and drooled over handsome guys, and hated insects and cockroaches to death.

She closed her eyes as her brows wrinkled tightly.

Nobody could tell that, the Devil from hell, Asura of the company was merely a camouflage to hide everything from the world

But The weirdest part of her life was the most Confused Stupid Demon named "CHASE"

There was a faint smile on her face when she remembered him. The last time, She met him was on the day of Shaurya-Jiya's wedding. Where he didn't approach her.

Chase was too calm and silent which wasn't part of his personality.

Chase liked to smile like his father 'Daniel Miller' and shook his head confusedly.

"You are not a cup of my Tea, CHASE", Nishma told herself and left her cabin to attend college.

Nishma already decided that she didn't need anything. As long as she could smile charmingly in front of her family. No one would know what was running in her devilish head.

Not even CHASE DANIEL MILLER.

~KHANNA's Mansion~

Arjun Kashyap and his wife Pashika Kashyap were seated together at Khanna's mansion and listening to Aashmaan's words.

Neil Khanna didn't like the way his wife was using emotional webs to trap his princess daughter.

He didn't talk to Aashmaan and ignored her.

Arjun and Pashika stared at them and shook their heads negatively.

"Aashmaan! You are wrong here. Nishu needs time. She is a kid, only 20 years old so don't pressure her about the marriage", Arjun spoke and Neil growled lowly.

"Brother Arjun! You know how my brain works. I'm scared that I'll forget about my daughter and the memories of us. I want to remember her. Store the memories of her wedding in my head", Aashmaan spoke and her voice was heavy.

"Love! Baby Aashmaan! Chase isn't the one for my moonlight. And it's my last decision", Neil said and they knew how much he was trying to control himself to not bust his devil on Aashmaan.

Neil loved Chase but he also knew that he wouldn't accept Chase for his daughter.

"He is the one", Aashmaan said and tears welled up in her eyes.

Neil stood there, staring at his wife with confused wavering hazel eyes.

Arjun and Pashika were in a dilemma too because of Zane and Arika. Arika was their darling daughter and Zane was the younger brother of Chase.

Both Chase and Zane were the Crown Prince and the prince of the Miller Empire. They were the sons of their best friend 'DANIEL MILLER'.

"These demons are cruel", Neil murmured and they heard him.

"Our daughters aren't Angels either", Aashmaan said loudly for them to hear.
