KNOCK ON MY HEART ❤️(on-hold)

CHAPTER-16

Are you on menopause? I gave him an unbelievable look.

Aren't your legs hurting because of the continuous pacing back and forth? He kept on asking me silly questions.

Devyn, look at me. I am in my pyjamas sitting in the study room, watching you walking. I swear to God if I get dark circles beneath my eyes, I will not talk to you for the rest of the week and burden you with my work. I think he is the one who is on the period.

How can she behave like this with Ingrid? Just the thought of her burning my inside.

Can you please be more specific? So much happened in the past few hours.He looks puzzled.

She fucking pushed her to the ground and you just stood there like a statue. I snarled. I balled my fist tried to control my anger.

I will show her what it would be like if she messed with me. I sipped my whiskey thinking about how she would beg in front of me.

Devyn you misunderstood. After hearing the word misunderstood I threw the glass in my hand.

Devyn,control your anger. It will not end in a good way. He patted my shoulder. I took a deep breath to calm myself.

Jacob, she fooled Ingrid's bodyguard and went clubbing and ended up drunk in the restaurant. What would have happened if he wasn't able to track them. Her name will come out on the front page, all would have labelled her as some brat and our family reputation would be trashed completely.

I was in a meeting with my foreign clients. I got a call from Harry (Ingrid's bodyguard). At first, I was confused as to why he called my personal number, he always reports to me at the end of the day only. He said that girls were going clubbing tonight. But she fooled them and flew away. But he tracked them by GPS. He said they went to some cheap club. I asked him to follow them at some distance. He sent me a picture of Ingrid and Zaha dancing. Ingrid was singing in some cheap club, and on top of that she was dancing with a stranger. He couldn't bear seeing her in some other man's arms.

Jacob was trying to process everything his friend said. He always wanted Ingrid to enjoy her life, and he knows how overprotective Devyn was. But what caught him more was Zaha, he remembered that little girl who stood like a shield before Ingrid. And his friend was talking about her dancing with a stranger.

Devyn, come and sit. I think you are missing something which is really big and you need to know about it. Jacob said calmly, he knew that his friend did something.

I settled down on the couch in our study room and sat beside me. I saw them in the parking lot, you were in a meeting and finished mine. I saw Ingrid there and walked towards them. By the looks itself I can easily understand she was drunk. So I asked her to come but she denied. She was not in her senses so I tried my best to convince, your stubborn sister didn't want to come with me. Her friend didn't allow her to come with me because she doesn't know how I am related to her. Even after introducing me she didn't allow me to take her with me. She even threatened me that her brother will hunt me down if I don't leave her. Ingrid suddenly started to ask for chocolates, her friend even bargained that she would give her chocolates if she came with her. Ingrid started to pull her purse and she lost her balance. Do you think that I will spare her if she hurted her in front of me? I listened to everything he said patiently. Why didn't I allow her to explain? I even called her names and insulted her badly.

Now tell me what you did after sending us? How will I tell him? I stood up and started to leave.

Devyn. I turned to him and said I messed up.

When I was there, I saw Ingrid on the ground and Zaha standing before her. I thought she pushed her. After you left, I really scolded her badly and even called her names. I insulted her, I said she was making her comfortable with my money. I messed up Jacob. Messed everything up.

You bastard. He punched my jaw. You are punching me for her.

Not for her, devyn. I would've done this even for other girls. She is different, do you know how she threatened me? She didn't even use your name to a stranger that is me. Even though she looked scared, she protected Ingrid very well. If she is like the rest of the girls that we have encountered, she would throw herself at me or at worst she would leave Ingrid to the stranger to suffer. She is innocent, devyn, more innocent and naive than our Ingrid. I know looks may be Deceptive but we know how people are. What have I done? I hurted her.

He shook his head and took his leave. I went to my room and I sat on my bed  thinking about what happened today. She tried to talk to me but I didn't let her talk.  When I looked at her teary face, my heart said that whatever I did was wrong. I instantly pulled my hands and left from there. I left her alone at night. I hurted my little flower very badly. Will she forgive me? I slept with these thoughts.

I heard someone knocking on my door. I checked the time it shows eight. I opened the door and Ingrid was there. I let her in.

“I am sorry brother. I wanted to have some fun, without anyone watching me like Hawk. I sped off in the traffic and went clubbing with Zaha.”

“Am I being overprotective? ”

“Devyn, I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you but it is really suffocating me. I just wanted to have some fun.”

“ Stop apologizing. You don't have to. Now go get ready I will drop you.”

“You mean, umm.. You are going to drop me?”

I nodded my head. Just five minutes. She stopped at the door.

“Devyn, you didn't say anything to her right? She is too sensitive. She asked me about bodyguards but I didn't say anything. So literally I am the one who is responsible for everything that happened last night.”

I behaved really badly with her. I accused her of everything. I shouted at her. I called he- her names. I feel so ashamed of myself.

“You could have at least waited for me to get sober. She is innocent.”

“I thought she drove you to that club and everything.”

She doesn't know how to drive. When I said she has nothing to do with it, I meant it. I wish she could forgive you for what you did. But at the same time she is my best friend, more like a little sister, so I don't want her to forgive you, saying that she left.

I went to take shower. How could I do this to her? She would definitely hate me. I want her to forgive me. I will do anything for her forgiveness. I get ready and went down to have breakfast and I dropped Ingrid off at her university.
Try hard brother and I hope she will make it hard for you. Ingrid left after that. I drove to my Office. I was waiting for an opportunity to talk to her.
