Chapter 8

"Ye-yeah, about that-"

"Yes?" he cut in, taking a few steps forward as I backed away a little before bumping against the wall.

"How do I know Veer...?" I started to explain but trailed away as soon as he leaned his face closer to mine, his blue eyes shooting me a million glares by now.

"Tha-that is an excellent question..." I stammered and mentally slapped myself for saying it out loud.

Now was not the time to be joking around.

"Donʼt fucking play with me right now, Gauri !" his voice echoed through the room and my feet froze in place when he slammed his hands on either side of my neck on the wall.

"I will give you three fucking seconds to start talking before I rip your heart out, right here, right now!" he threatened, grabbing my cheeks and squeezing them up to face me.

"So-sorry-"

"Talk!" he spat, his eyes not ripping away from mine for even a second as I struggled to come up with a decent lie.

"We met on the speech day and he promised to help me escape so I..." I trailed away, blinking away my tears before meeting his cold blue eyes again.

"So we talked about it but I never tried to escape." I drew in a shaky breath as he released me from his grip before standing up straight, his eyes studying my every movement now.

"You donʼt know who he is, donʼt you?" he asked, his voice slightly turning soft and I looked at him in confusion before shaking my head.

"Forget it, leave. I donʼt want to look at you right now." He muttered, turning around and I stared at him in disbelief.

An explanation would be nice from him too, but guess I didnʼt deserve one.

"Omkara , Iʼm sorry but I really didnʼt do-" I started, moving closer to grab his sleeve when he roughly jerked his hand away before spinning around to face me.

"Go to your fcking room, Gauri !" he spat with venom in his voice, his eyes filled with hatred and I stiffened before bringing my trembling hands together.

"Okay." I mumbled, bolting out of the room and leaving him behind.

*******

"Tell me who he is, Shivaay?" I whined again, but this time, with a pinch of annoyance in my voice and he let out another groan before slumping on my bed.

"Omkara told me not to say a word." He repeated again and I rolled my eyes at his words.

"Omkara this, Omkara that, donʼt you ever do anything out of your own free will? Do you always have to kiss his ass for a living and-" I stopped rambling when Shivaay roughly clutched my mouth, his eyebrows furrowing together in displeasure and my eyes widened when he tightened the grip.

"Careful beautiful , youʼre getting a little too comfortable now," he spoke softly yet harshly and I watched the anger flicker in his eyes before they faded away within seconds.

"Letʼs not disrespect Omkara , shall we?" his voice turned all sweet again and I brushed away his hand before crawling back on the bed. And here I thought I could trust this guy. I was wrong, he was just another one of Omkara's loyal pets.

"Iʼm sorry." I mumbled and I watched him flinch a little before inching closer but I quickly backed away more.

"Iʼm sorry for getting upset but you should learn to-"

"Oh, there is my little princess!" Ajay's voice cut off Shivaay and we both turned to watch him bolt up to us before plopping down on the bed next to me, slumping an arm around my shoulders in the process.
