Chapter-57

Author's POV

Silence engulfed them, it was bothering her, especially.

Shiva remained quiet purposefully. He was teasing her, playing with her patience.

After all, she did the same thing in the morning.

Her eyes glittering with hope roamed around his face, pleading him to let them go.

Shiva's eyes remained fixed on her face,

" You should go...home.." Shiva grabbed her hands and brought it closer to his lips.

Parul wasn't expecting him to say this.

" What?" She looked at him, blinking her eyes in confusion.

" Go home..." placing a soft kiss on her both knuckles, he looked at her sternly.

She understood why he was saying this.

" Shiva please..." she tried to convince him. But Shiva looked unbothered.

He was bothered, bothered that she was bothering about someone else.

" Chalo...I've work..." he got up from the chair with her hugging him like a Koala.

He kissed her forehead and placed her to the ground, slowly.

She looked at him, shocked. He wasn't even bothered.

Without giving her another look, he turned around to leave.

" You are doing it purposefully. Aren't you..?" she complained, grabbing his hands roughly.

Shiva sighed before turning towards her.

" What?" he arched his brows, annoyance written all over his face. His eyes moved between her hand which was grabbing his hand and her eyes, annoyance-filled eyes. " Everything....that fight, their kidnapping and this...!" She looked at him, her eyes accusing him of hurting her.

In a soft swirl, his hand covered hers, holding them in a gentle grip.

" Did you do it purposefully then?" he asked, arching his brows. She shook her head, looking at him in disbelief. " How are you connecting these two?" she wanted to scoff at him. But refrained herself from doing so.

" Just like you did!" Shiva said causally, drawing invisible patterns on the back of her hand.

" Oh please!" she wiggled her hands out of his hold and took a step back. " You want to cage me!" she pointed her fingers at him, accusation lacing her voice.
Shiva tied his hands behind his back and took a step towards her.
" It's not true..." he said staring right into her misty eyes.

Parul tried to move back but her back collided with the edge of the dining table. " I just want you to be with me" his voice had a touch of desperation which she failed to notice. Shiva placed both his hands on the dining table, at her sides and locked her.

" You want to exert your power and dominance over me" Her lips trembled but she didn't cry.

Their close proximity was scaring her. She had so much on her mind. It was just overwhelming.

Shiva smiled. A smile that would send creeps down their spine.

"Because you...," He paused, leaning closer to her face. He could hear her heart pounding madly.
" You belong to me..." he whispered, his chocolate eyes shining with possessiveness. His hot breath slapped her cheeks. "Don't you?" He asked, looking at her intensely. He was looking at her with a crazed expression. Almost insane. She wanted to say no but she knew the consequences. At the same time, she didn't want to accept it either.
" Do I have a choice?" She looked helplessly into his crazed eyes, tears glistened in her own eyes.
