*A little peak into the book;
"Mellania you can't be with me, I don't want you to get in trouble" Nigel says, closing his eyes and placing his forehead against her's.
"I don't care what they think about you, I know you're innocent and that's all that matters. I know they'll see it to,in time. Please don't push me away, I need you." Mel replies, and Nigel sighs.
"I love you so much, you know that right?" He asks, his breathe fanning her face, his lips almost touching hers. He wants to kiss her, so bad but he knows now is not the right time for that.
"I know, I love you too" She says, taking his hand in hers and interlocking their fingers.
"If you love me then you'll stay away from me. I can't let your reputation be spoilt because of me. If anything happens to you I won't be able to live with myself, so please. I'm begging, you've got let me go." he says, feeling his heart wrench.

My fist clenched against the edge of the table when he pushed a hair strand behind her ear and leaned closer, what the fuck!! Why she is not pushing him away, why the fuck she is letting him be close to her.
No!!!
He is going to kiss her!!!
Not at all.
I had enough of this shit.
Their lips were about to touch when I stood up from my seat and approached them.
I pushed him before giving a hard punch on his jaw.
" What the heck Shiv!!!!! " I heard her offensive voice from behind.
I turned to look at her!!
She went closer to him again " Zain, are you okay? "
" Yeah , it wasn't that hard. "
My blood boiled when she touched his jaw with her delicate hands.
" Stop touching him!! " I pushed him again.
" Why did you hurt him, what's wrong with you? "
" What the heck is wrong with you, Sara?? What are you doing with him?? "
She sighed before rolling her eyes " stop meddling!! "
" I am not meddling!! "
" Really?? "
I stayed silent, noticing all the movements on her face!!
" It's meddling Mr. Shivansh, you are no one to interrupt my good time with someone I love!! "
Bold of her to use word love, as if I am going let her love someone else.
" Love?? " I scoffed " I remember you saying you love me, just a week back "
