Yet, as Aryan fights to win her back, she begins to question her own heart. Is she truly over him, or does the love they shared still linger? The second-chance romance is complicated by her feelings of betrayal, his possessive nature, and a fierce desire to protect herself from being hurt again. Tropes: * Second chance romance * Possessive ML * College lovers * Misunderstandings * Forced proximity ~•~ "Aryan," she whispered, her voice betraying her calm exterior. He took a step forward, his eyes full of determination. "Tara, I'm not here to beg, but I'm here to make things right. I've never stopped thinking about you." Her heart raced, but she kept her gaze fixed on the horizon, refusing to meet his eyes. "You had your chance, Aryan. You made your choice." "I know I hurt you. I didn't mean for it to happen this way," he said, taking another step closer. "I was wrong, but I'm not the same person I was before. I want to fix this." She shook her head, swallowing the lump in her throat. "I've moved on. I'm not doing this again." Aryan stepped closer, his voice low but firm. "You think you've moved on, but I know you haven't. You're still mine, Tara. And I'm not letting you go again." 🏅#1 in wattpadindia

He's obsessed, insane even. He has to know her, watch her, touch her. She's his, and nothing will stop him. But she's smarter than he thinks.. ••• "You call me if he bothers you ever again, yeah?"

* 'I-I am sorry your highness I touched ...!' She was trying to apologize, but she fell silent as she could not utter with her mouth that she accidentally touched his lips. 'But I am not sorry!' He said calmly looking straight at her. What was she supposed to say after hearing his words? 'I did not mean to touch your highness's ...' she said with great difficulty. 'That was not a touch.' He said not permitting her to brush it off as an accident, even though it clearly was. 'It was a kiss.' He said with a hoarse determined voice. She widened her eyes, as her face flushed even more than it did when she realized what she had done. He dared to say the word she avoided. 'That was not! I...' she tried to refute. 'What is a kiss Celia?' She could not answer. How could she say the definition of a kiss with her own mouth, it would only confirm his words. * 'It was an accident. I am truly sorry, I did not mean any discourtesy towards your highness. If I can make up for my error somehow?' She quickly said. She did not know of his personal life, as he had a tight security around him and nobody knew much of the king outside official visits and business. He must have felt insulted. 'Please don't call it an accident. For a first kiss of a person to be called an accident ...' He said again with a dejected tone, but did not continue. It was like he had already gotten his point across. 'Ahhh. I am so sorry! It really was an ...' She wanted to say accident but, because of his pleading she could not actually say it. To have committed the blame of taking the king's first kiss and then not acknowledging it, how would he think of her? At this point she did not even realize that their roles had reversed, or that it was her first kiss also. PS: If you like loyal mates... then please proceed further :D
