Chapter Twenty Three

Just a little clarification for Chapter Twenty Two.

Aditya punched Aryan not Imlie.

********

Imlie's POV

Looking at Aryan on the floor with his mouth bleeding, I had enough of Aditya.

I could feel my blood getting hot as anger flooded my veins. I walked over to them and managed to pull him off Aryan and in a flash of a few seconds, my right hand connected with his cheek.

'How dare you slap me Imlie?' He asked, eyes red with anger.

'How dare you hit him?' I shot back at him.

'You slapped me because of him?'

'Yes, and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if you ever lay a finger on him. What the hell is wrong with you Aditya? Ever since you got here, it has been from one drama to the other.'

'Aren't you tired? Because if you aren't, then I am. I want this whole rubbish to end now!' I blurted out.

'You are my problem Imlie! How can you have feelings for him?'

'Why can't she have feelings for him? There is nothing wrong with that.' My mother said.

You are supporting your daughter again, why can't you support her to be with me? Aditya asked and I placed my hand on my head.

I got Aryan up and started to dress up his bruised lips.

'When she left your house that day, why didn't you stop her? You knew she had nobody in the city she knows but you let her leave all alone.' My mother continued talking. 'What if something terrible happened to her?'

'But nothing happened to her.' He answered.

'And that's because of Aryan sir and besides, you are married to Malini now. So, stay away from my daughter and let her live her life with whoever she wants.'

'Is it because of his money? I'm going to work so hard, Imlie, to give you all that you deserve.'

'That cannot be possible Aditya.' My mother says. 'You have bigger responsibilities now.'

'What responsibilities? The only responsibility I have now is Imlie, and I'm planning on divorcing Malini.'

'She is right Aditya. You have bigger responsibilities now.' Malini said, stepping inside the house and walking towards us, rubbing her belly.

'What are you doing here sister Malini?' I asked and she shot a death glare at me.

'I followed my husband to free him from your trap.' She snapped.

'This place is dangerous, and you are pregnant, sister Malini.'

'Enough of your fake concern Imlie. You should have thought of all this before taking my husband away from me.'

'And you Aditya, she continued, looking at him. You want to divorce me? Do you think it's going to be that easy? I'm not some toy you can pick up and throw away anytime you like.'
