The night sky was covered with millions of shining stars which embraced the indefinite darkness.The moon was a sparking halo in between the darkened clouds.The blowing wind teased my hair, tendrils covering my face I shrugged them off turning my face inside.Aarej was leaning casually with his head thrown back, long powerful legs stretched, his face was turned towards me & from his ease I guessed he was staring at me unblinkingly from quite sometime. I averted my eyes from his ensaring gaze & focused on the passing scenery but now as I was conscious of his appraisal it was highly distracting. I could actually feel his fiery eyes on me, his heated gaze was like a living, breathing thing, it was so tangible that I could feel it in every pore of my body.I tried to shrug it but it was useless, when I could not tolerate anymore I questioned looking at him

What?

He just shrugged carelessly as in nothing.I was irritated...Oh Allah plz give me patience!...why the hell is he staring at me like that!..
I stated critically

Didn't anyone told you It's Rude to Stare!

He smirked & said matter-of-factly

It's not Rude when Iam Staring at What's Mine!

I glared at his audacity, giving him my back but he was a persistent idiot after some time I again looked at him & as expected he was staring.I sighed & muttered

Aarej what is your problem?

He was serious in a heartbeat & actually looked genuinely confused.He said

Nothing, baby Iam looking at What's Mine...I like looking at You...You belong to Me Utterly,Completely,Irrevocably Forever.

I watched him wide-eyed at his over-possessive passionate declaration...Oh My Allah...He is insane, he takes possessiveness & obsessiveness to whole other level...I was brought back from my thoughts when the car stopped with a thud.I was very anxious, the nerves from earlier returned full force when I saw the amount of vehicles in parking lot.My door opened & Aarej extended his hand to help me up but I ignored his hand & got out he looked displeased but I didn't notice because my attention was on the glass doors of the banquet or rather behind them.There were hundreds of people loitering, I think Aarej must have noticed that I was on the verge of freakout because he captured my hand gently trying to relax me.I glanced at him stunned, he just smiled ushering me on his side enveloping me in a hug, surprisingly I relaxed inhaling his cologne & masculine scent Aarej's face was buried in my hair.Finally, I was able to breathe when I realized what I have done I quickly stepped back flushed whereas, Aarej was definitely amused at my antics.I walked away from him going for the entrance when he stepped beside me.Suddenly, shouts were heard various media reporters accompanied by a hord of people greeted us on the opening of entrance.Thousands of flashes blindsided me with the hurled questions from all sides, Aarej possessively gripped my waist ushering me at his side when a reporter questioned me directly with a once-over.He glared at the reporter so hard I thought fire balls will hit him but Aarej's men surrounded us in a circle & we covered the rest of the passage in peace.When we reached inside conversations dropped, heads turned, a hush descended on the entire hall every eye locked on us, I was actually grateful of Aarej's hold because I would have ran away until now.All the masses were in midst of different emotions as we advanced inside the hall I could clearly decipher the looks thrown at Aarej, he dominated the space merely with his presence men looked at him with respect, fear & many with envy whereas, women were altogether a different matter, theirs was admiration, awe & a need to possess him (which frankly disturbed me).Aarej escorted me to the center stage where he helped me settle then he himself sat beside me.I silently observed the magnanimous arrangements from the crystal chandeliers, which twinkled like bright stars to decadent flasks everything was perfect to the T.The luxury & elegance could easily be appreciated from the velvety table cloths to the delicious appetizers, the populace consists of Town's Gentry from famous top-notch political figures to popular actors, models, fashion designers & various other renowned personalities.I was startled from my thoughts by a very familiar voice
