Undivided world

Chapter 13 Am I really safe with you?

After returning to the resort, he lifted me up in his arms and carried me to our room. Once inside, he laid me down on the bed and reassured me, "You are safe around me now."

"Are you sure? Am I really safe with you, Mr. Advit Tyagi?" I questioned, feeling a mix of fear and uncertainty.

"Oh, sorry, AGASTYA, the mafia of the underworld, "I corrected myself, reminding him of his true identity.

"That man could have taken my life today just because I know you. Just because I spent two days with you, he assumed you'd come after me, and you did.
Instead of calling the police, you tried to handle everything yourself. If something had happened to me between you two today..." I couldn't finish my sentence before he silenced me by placing his finger on my lips.

"It couldn't have happened, Lil dragon. That piece of shit would have faced the consequences if he had touched you. You are really safe with me, darling," he reassured me.

"I am not your darling, Advit Tyagi. I don't even know what's real anymore. I don't know what's happening or what's going to happen. I just want to live a healthy and safe life again, I confessed tearfully.
"Why do you think you're not safe with me, Lil dragon?" he asked, confused by my fear.

"Yes, I am not safe with you. You saw today what could have happened to me if you hadn't arrived on time..." I trailed off, unable to finish my sentence.

"Even if I hadn't arrived, I would have come for you, Lil dragon. We've been together since the day we met. I've been behind you since then. I sleep and wake up thinking of you. And now, you're here with me," he said, pulling me closer.

"Stop acting dumb, you idiot!" I snapped, pushing him away.

"Why do you think I'm talking nonsense? Since I first saw you, you've been mine, my Lil dragon. Do you think I didn't notice you on the day of the engagement? You've been in my eyes since that day," he declared, pulling me closer again.
"You're mine, and I won't let anyone else have you. No one dares to look at you with wrong intentions," he asserted before leaving to the bathroom, leaving me to ponder over his words.

"No, Advit Tyagi, I'm not yours, and after today, I will never meet you or even see you again. I hate myself for loving you, Agastya. I never want to see your face again," I declared through tears as I left the room and returned to my own.

There, I overheard my parents discussing their plans to return home by a train in an hour. Finally, I felt a glimmer of hope that I could escape from him at last.
