"Don't touch my patience, Riya. I will do whatever I want." He gritted his teeth.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Don't address me with my first name Mr. Miller, I need some respect."


"Leave." He shouted looking at him.

He glared at me before opened his mouth. "At least tell me the reason why should I leave this place. I am working here for almost 20 years and very loyal to your father. But what I get at the end?"

"I said leave." He yelled again. But he didn't flinch and continued his nonsense.


"This all happened because of this slut." He pointed his finger at me.

What did I do?


"I know how to handle these kinds of girls. They throw their body to fulfill their desire and I am sure she would throw herself to your fa----" He was cut off by a sudden blow on his face.

Kayish shoved him against the wall by his throat. "One word... just one more word from your filthy mouth of yours--" His grip on his throat tightened and his prey is struggling for breath.

"I just allowed you to leave without any harm because of the loyalty you show to my dad but that doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. Get out of my company." he grabbed him by his collar and dragged out of his office.

"Security!!" He yelled. Everyone gathered around the place and all the prying eyes are focusing between us.

Two securities came and clutched his shoulder. "I don't want to see his face." He warned them. They nodded their head and dragged him away.

"If anyone tries to misbehave with her," He pointed a finger towards me. "I don't hesitate to smack their head off. Am I clear?" He asked. Dead silence filled the floor.

"Am I clear?"He shouted again.

"Yes, boss."  They all answered.

If I stay here, I will lose my control. So I turned my heels to leave the place. But he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards his chest with that he crashed his lips onto mine.

I heard a gasp from everyone I mean everyone. I tried to pull him away but he is so strong. I struggled out of his firm grip but he pinched my waist, keeping me in the place.

He is doing in front of everyone. How heartless he is? He licked my lips with his tongue before let go of me.

We both panted hardly from the mini making out session. Then looking at the employees he said, "She is mine. I hope everyone gets the point." His gaze landed on someone then he smirked touching his lips.

There standing Harith with a stunned expression like he saw an anaconda. His lips formed in a thin line.

"Go back to your work." His one-word made them leave the place quickly.

I ran out of the office and get inside my car.

Present time........

When I reached my apartment, I threw my body on the bed and cried my heart out.

He did in front of everyone and claimed me as his. Why God? What I did to deserve these kinds of pain again and again. I sobbed.

I sat on the bed when I heard the doorbell is ringing. I glanced at the wall clock and it showed one in the afternoon. Who was at this time?

I wiped my tear-stained face with a towel and opened the door only to see Juliet who was standing there wearing a worried expression on her face.

"I didn't expect to see you here," I said before opening the door for her to enter. "Sit, I get some water for you." I said and walked towards the kitchen.

I set the cookies and two glasses of orange juice on the table then I took a place on the couch beside her.

"Riya, it's not my first time me visiting your apartment. I don't think these formalities are still needed." I suppressed my lips to prevent let out a sob.

"I'm sorry, Riya. If you are not comfortable with me staying here, I will leave." I shook my head. "No need to say sorry Juliet, it's not your fault and I'm glad you are here for me." I said with a grumbled voice.

Now I want to share all my feeling with someone and the right person is Juliet. She will understand how I walked down through my whole misery and how awful it is.

She won't judge me easily like others. I gathered all my strength and prepared my mind for telling her the whole truth.

"Juliet, Kayish...Kayish is my husband." I started to tell my misery life. She stayed silently listening to my whole trauma. "... and I ended up losing my everything." A gasp escaped from her mouth but she covered it by her both hands.

I gave her one sad smile and continued, "Sweety was under observation for almost 3 months, and those 3 months were hell to me. She is a fighter and my life saviour. If she hadn't there for me, I would have ended my life too." I sobbed at the end.

I saw her eyes getting glossy, but she tried her best to keep it on bay not wanting to upset me more.

"He doesn't deserve you and Sweety. Don't worry, Riya. I am always on your side. I didn't think that he was that much arrogant, but he is more than a heartless fellow." She started to curse him.

"Your parents are so awful. I wish I was there to teach them a lesson especially cutting your brother's ball and feeding it to his own mouth." Her face turned into a shade of red, a fit of complete anger engulfed her.

"It's getting late Juliet." I said glancing at the wall clock which showed past 3 p.m. "I have taken half day leave. I think you need me more than my worthless boss."

"Thank you, Juliet. You remind me of Claire whenever I talk to you." I hugged her.

"Yes! She is a good friend too. At least you had her in your hard time." She patted my shoulder.
