"Are you insane!?" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

They were standing on a rooftop of a sixteen story building. Cold and harsh winds bustling past them, flowing her dress in result. The faint sirens of police mobiles with the danger of uniformed cops barging any moment by now wasn't helping at all.

And this stupid asshole was asking her to jump! From this height!?

"Do you trust me?" He looked directly in her brown eyes, asking in a serious tone.

Voices of cops were coming closer, they were asking them to stop.

"Not even a slightest bit!" She snapped.

"Good. Now on the count of three we will jump, okay?... One.." He said holding her hand.

Loud calls and steps can be clearly heard. They were coming closer..

"It is a very bad idea." 

"Two.."

"Can't we just fight with them?"

"Three... Now!" 

And they both jumped..

10 parts Complete Mature
❤️COMPLETED AND TAKEN DOWN ❤️ EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE ON KINDLE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ She sits behind the bushes and can see him comfortably, he is trying to find her by running his eagle eyes everywhere but he is not getting any glimpse of her anywhere. He undone the buttons of cuffs and rolled his shirt up to the elbow and said loudly in anger which sent chills in her spine. "Look, I am telling you very lovingly to come out because if you do not listen to me, the punishment will be very hard ..... again I am saying very hard ..... are you listening....." She covers her mouth with both hands so that no sound can come out at all and starts looking around so that she can run away from there by diverting his attention. She starts moving slowly with absolutely subdued steps But a dry stick comes under her shoes and breaks immediately creating a very loud sound in the environment. He immediately turns towards her, she also sees him, both of their eyes meet each other, and as soon as she realizes he is coming towards her, she quickly starts running away from him because now she is afraid of his anger. But without any delay, he immediately comes in front of her and grabs her hand to cage her in his strong arms and holds her tightly very close to himself so that she can feel his breath on her face, and he eats this distance also and says in a very dangerous tone in her ear. "Nobody can save you from me ...... You are MINE ..... ONLY MINE." She wriggles badly in his arms and he is enjoying her situation with a wicked smile on his face.

He never really liked someone else winning debates against him... At the age of 29, he's all set to establish himself more. And then paths collide.
