At the same time, she answers, “My husband does keep me happy.”
“Now that you’ve got your answer, bring the papers so we can get going,” I say, glaring at him.
“Alisha, you are making a mistake by trusting a man like…” He doesn’t get a chance to finish because I take a step towards him, ready to beat the shit out of him. Alisha comes to stand in front of me, between us, and blocks him from me—as quick as a flash.
“I came here only to sign the papers. And if you don’t want to do that now, I can swing by some other day,” she tilts her chin and comes to the point.
“I don’t have the papers ready yet,” Siddh replies.
“What? But yesterday, you told me that you have the papers ready and I just had to come here to sign.”
“I… lied.”
“You what? How can…” she starts, but he interrupts her.
“And how can you give him a second chance and not me?”
I bend over laughing; this guy is a joke. Doesn’t he get it that it’s over between Alisha and him?
“I’m not married to you,” she grits her teeth, giving him a scathing look. Her facial muscles are clenched with wrath, which makes me pull her into my arms. I have an almost irresistible impulse to kiss her and prove to the jerk that he will never have her, but I don’t think Alisha would be happy about it in the given circumstances.
“He is not worth our time,” I shrug. “Let’s go.”
“I won’t let you walk out on me, Alisha. I will win you back,” Siddh challenges.
That’s it. I pull Alisha behind me and stand in front of him with my feet apart, pinning him down with my stare. I am about three inches taller than him. I look down at him and warn him through clenched teeth, “Get one thing straight in that thick skull of yours, you jerk! Alisha and I are forever. Nothing you do or say will change that truth. And I’m being patient here, but if you keep pushing me to the wall, I will have no choice but to beat the crap out of you. Don’t mess with me, you asshole; you’ll regret you ever opened your fucking mouth,” I raise my voice so that he can hear me loud and clear. “Alisha is off limits. I don’t want you anywhere near her. If you pay no heed to my warning, you will not like the consequences.” I square my shoulders and tap Siddh’s chest. “I hope I’ve made myself clear.”
“She was mine before she became your wife. And if I wouldn’t have fucked up then, she would have still been mine.” The bastard snaps back. I am on the edge of my patience and if I flip out, there would be no stopping me from killing this good-for-nothing-moron.
“Ranveer, we need to leave,” Alisha says in caution as she clutches at my arm, while her eyes swing between Siddh and me.
“I am not leaving till I don’t make him repent his words.” Before Alisha can stop me, I step forward and punch the idiot hard in the stomach, making him whimper as he doubles over in pain. I then grab him by his collar and pull him inside his house, not wanting to pull people’s attention on us.
“Ranveer, please stop,” Alisha yells, following hurriedly behind us.
“Alisha, stay the hell out of it,” I growl as I use my full force to take him across the room.
“Ranveer, you promised not to get into a fight!” Alisha screams, trying to pull me off Siddh, who is attempting to get back at me.
“That was before he tried to act like a fucked-up jackass,” I snap, freeing my arms from her hold.
“Ranveer… Oh no….” Alisha yelps in pain.
In a second, I let go of Siddh and my eyes jerk to Alisha. Pain and tears fill her eyes, her lips quiver, while she slumps on the floor. My eyes drop to her hands which are wrapped around her ankle. I start to panic as I take two big steps and reach her.
“What happened?” I bend on my knees in front of her and place her foot on my thigh, taking the flip-flop off her feet.
“I tripped on the… rug and landed in the wrong way,” she falters, wincing in pain as her head tilts back.
My chest heaves as I take quick breaths while my eyes dart from her face to her feet.
“This happened because of you!” Siddh snarls while glaring at me. He then asks, “Alisha, is it hurting?” She grits her teeth and squeezes her eyes close in agony.
“What kind of a question is that? Of course, she is in pain!” I snap as I assess her ankle. “Sweetheart, relax. It will be fine.” My voice is gentle and calm.
She doesn’t say anything but gives me a teary nod and closes her eyes tightly. I inhale sharply, run my finger over her ankle, and see it’s swollen.
“We need to take her to the hospital to get it checked,” Siddh suggests.
