Terrorized By Love [ON HOLD]

Chapter 17: She's Only Mine

Aditya was leaning against the cabin, supposed to be keeping watch in case their hideout was invaded, but instead, he was watching his partner and the girl that was making him go crazy. He saw Laksh hold Mahima's hand and he felt his insides get ripped apart and his eyebrows furrow.

"What the hell?" he said angrily and stood up.

He watched as they held hands and Mahima smiled. Laksh then took his other hand and caressed Mahima's cheek, tucking her hair back behind her ear. He didn't know why his heart dropped when he saw that. It was like that right belonged exclusively to him... but how? It made no sense.

Aditya picked up his gun and stormed up to the two of them.

"Is this a place to romance?" Aditya accused.

"Ah Dev," Laksh said with a smile, still not letting go of Mahima's hand. "We were just talking about you."

Mahima looked down, not meeting his gaze.

"Me? Don't you feel ashamed?" Aditya hissed.

"Why should we? Mahima's single... and beautiful. Any man would go crazy," Laksh informed. "If you missed your chance, it isn't my problem."

Now he felt betrayed. Not by his partner, but by the girl who claimed to love him last night. Was it so easy for her to lure someone else?

"You're with him?" Aditya asked.

Mahima looked up into his eyes.

"I'm not answerable to you," she told him softly.

Angry, Aditya lifted the gun and pointed it at her.

"You are answerable to me!" he hissed.

He was going crazy.

"Dev," Laksh warned, and let go of Mahima's hand.

Aditya took the opportunity to grab Mahima's hand and he started to drag her towards the cabin. Laksh followed.

"Dev you can't manhandle her," Laksh warned as she quietly allowed him to pull her.

"I'll do what I want with her," Aditya hissed back, still dragging Mahima towards the entrance.

"Why Dev? Who is she to you?" Laksh asked.

"That's none of your business," Aditya snapped, and managed to get to the porch with her.

"Didn't you accuse her this morning?" Laksh probed. "Why should she come with you?"

"What is your problem?" Aditya spat and let go of Mahima's hand to turn around and glare at Laksh. "She's not yours. So stay out of it."

"Why can't she be mine?" Laksh asked, frowning slightly.

"Dammit, because she's mine," Aditya screamed, completely frustrated now, unable to contain the feelings that had been buried inside him. "Mine! She's only mine!"

The bubble had burst.
