His heart twisted painfully. He cupped her cheek with his free hand, eyes wide with a flicker of panic.
"I'm so sorry," he rasped, his voice breaking. "Did I hurt you?"
Her lips curved into a faint, sorrowful smile that pierced him deeper than any...

Suman POV:
I struggled against the firm grip, but the hold only grew stronger, making it impossible to break free. My back was pressed harshly against the sink, my breath hitching in frustration. Enough of this fucking drama. I did the only thing I could-I bit his damn hand.
A sharp hiss escaped him, and his grip loosened just enough for me to speak.
"Bitch, you ruined my lipstick," I spat, wiping my lips aggressively.
But as I lifted my gaze, my breath caught in my throat.
Towering over me, radiating sheer dominance and something darker, stood him.
Yuvan.
"Aap ? " (You), His eyes locked onto mine, a dangerous glint swimming in them. His gaze was intense, hungry, and wicked burned into my skin like fire. He wasn't just looking at me; he was claiming me with that stare.
"You've got a fucking habit of pissing me off, don't you?" His voice was low edged with irritation but laced with something else something sinful.
I should've been scared. Should've shoved him away. This behaviour isn't in a formal way like I used to,I stood there intoxicated by his presence...my heart was pounding violently in my chest.
"Maybe you should stop getting in my way, then," I shot back keeping my voice steady.
His lips curled into a smirk but his eyes darkened. He stepped closer to the heat between us crackling like a live wire.
"You think you're smart, huh?" He tilted his head his voice almost amused but the underlying possessiveness was unmistakable.
"Let me remind you of something, little one, there are things in this world you should stay far away from. And one of them is my fucking guards."
"Any of them." His jaw ticked, his fingers flexing at his sides as if restraining himself. "You were too close to Nico tonight."
I blinked in disbelief before scoffing. "Excuse me? Since when do you decide who I talk to?"
His expression shifted, amusement completely wiped away. What replaced it was raw, untamed jealousy.
"Since the moment you walked into my life, Suman." His voice dropped lower, each word dripping with possession.
