Tara Patel
Instinctively, I shifted closer to Shreyas. He placed a hand over mine and rubbed circles with his thumb. Vijay wasn't the best boyfriend, at the start he was ideal but now I can't even think about that manipulative bastard without having nightmares. We broke up when I found the guy ran a hospital that stole literal organs from their patients. I'd attempted to file a complaint, instead, I got kidnapped. "Vijay."
He smiled, "Tara."
"How's Ajay doing?" Vijay sat down, grinning like the Chesire. Flicking his wrist to a waiter, staking his claim, and seeming to say, 'my restaurant, my game'. She inhaled and exhaled sharply. "I don't know."
"Isn't he your boyfriend?" The man chuckled, his eyes glinting dangerously. "Oh wait, you married to him."
"That 'him' has a functioning mouth" Shreyas clipped shrewedly. "Look, buddy, I suggest you fuck off."
I glanced at him, surprised. His hand wound around my waist and he flashed me a grin, I knew it was fake. I knew this was all fake, but why couldn't it be real?
I hated the fact that I still wanted to be loved, wasn't getting my heart broken three times, enough?
I noticed Shreyas's concerned gaze lingering on mine, I raised an eyebrow with a thin smile. He returned it, "Tara." Vijay hummed, tapping the wooden table. "What?" I sighed,
"I love the way the dress looks on you." He slurred and instantly Shreyas placed his hand around my shoulder. "Thank you, I picked it out."
Vijay turned his spiteful glare onto Shreyas, and Shreyas returned it evenly.
"Tara, did you hear about Ajay's engagement?" Vijay's lips curved upward wickedly, I nodded and took my drink for the waiter's tray, who'd materialized a few moments prior. "Aparently the girl didn't want to get married to him because he was having an affair."
"How do you know this?" My mother sighed, it seemed like even she had enough of his bullshit. Vijay let out a robust laugh, "My dear Aunty, the reporter's source was me, na?"
He slid a file across and I tore it open, glancing at Shreyas curiously.
Instantly my blood drained from my face, and my hands shook as I saw what was in my hands.
I burned all the copies though-
