Tangled in Love

Chapter 67: Sinful or Mistake.

Earlier at the restaurant...

"Jadlaan... here you are, I was looking for you everywhere"

I called out as I spotted Jadlaan with him, the man whom I just allowed to have a dance with, not because of its valentines day. The way he asked did something to my heart and his eyes were pleading but everything went wrong when I let him kiss because that wasn't part of the deal and now I can never meet his eyes as they are intensely looking at me like he can see through my soul. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and walked towards Jadlaan who seemed to be having a heated conversation with him. I ignored his intense gaze and stood behind my friend and held his arm with shaking hands while I am well aware he is watching me intently with every move I make;

"Let's go home..."

I requested ignoring his presence like it was only Jadlaan and me in the parking lot but Jadlaan shook his head as he turns to face me;

"Mayaan, tell him the truth because he thinks you have someone else in your life..."

He said as he shrugs me by my shoulder.
I felt my throat going dry as I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked over Jadlaan's shoulder but quickly averted my gaze away from the man behind my broken heart before he could interrupt I pulled Jadlaan to leave but he removes my hand;

"Tell him the truth Mayaan, tell this selfish man about the struggles you have been through and the pain you bared for this man...,

tell him why are you wearing this fake engagement ring"

Jadlaan said as he holds my left hand and points towards the ring. I bit my lower lip nervously as I take a step back while slowly pulling my hand from his grip;

"It's getting late Jadlaan, let's go home... I am tired"

I ignored his question and turn to walk away because I can't let him know about the truth I have been hiding from the world for five years, Jadlaan and step-dad are the only ones who knew the real reason behind the fake engagement ring and tonight it seems my faithful friend was in a mood of revealing the truth in front of the man whom he hates the most but before I could walk away a strong grip stopped me by grabbing my hand;

"Why are you wearing a fake engagement ring Mayaan?"

He asked confusedly but I pushed him back because no matter what happens I won't let him know the reason behind my ring to boost his ego;

"It's none of your business, that what kind of ring I wear"

I said bitterly and turned to leave but he stopped me by wrapping his arms around me and before I could struggle he pinned me against a car. I looked at Jadlaan for help but he was stopped by his guards and Tim who looked at me with an apologetic look on his face as he lowered his gaze;

"I am not letting you go without answering my question, scream, yell... do whatever you wish to do but I promise I am not letting you go until I get the answer"

He said firmly as he brought his face closer to mine.

"You have no right to know about my life or with whom I am engaged and you have no right to know that is it a real or fake engagement ring because you lost every right on me, do you get me ... now let me go"

I spat out the words angrily as I struggled while trying to remove his arms but his arms were like a vise around my waist as his hold grew tight around me;

"I have no right, then what will you say about the thing that happened between us a while ago because after that I have every right to know why you are faking about this engagement ring and if you don't have a fiance then why are you lying because deep down you can't deny the feelings we have for each other are mutual..."
