Obsession

14. Maniac

"Do you-you still love me?" she asked.

"I never loved you," his reply came as he stood up.

"Can't you forgive me?"

"Until you die,"

"Then kill me. Please kill me,"

"I'm," he said, "I'm killing you," he stood up.

"Clean your tears," he ordered her and she hurriedly cleaned the tears away from her eyes by moving her head and wiping her tears by rubbing her eyes against her shirt as he left the basement. His heart yearning again to see the face of the woman lying in his lounge.

After some time one of his men came to serve her food and cleaned her wound. She laid there lifelessly.

It's been years but she didn't die.

The sun was on the sky as the dark night passed. Currently she was sitting on the sofa with her arms wrapped around her legs. Last night she had felt so tired when she was done with her work that she just laid her head on the headrest and the next second she slept. Shehryaar had her seated in the lounge when he went somewhere and she got busy in her work. Some time passed and he still didn't come and by then she was done with her work. She was more than thankful that he wasn't around somewhere otherwise it would have been too difficult for her to work under his gaze.

In the middle of night, she had felt someone's presence around her when she gained consciousness from her deep slumber. Her third eye told her someone was looking at her so she played along and pretended as of she was sleeping when she felt his presence near him and he said those words.

They still haunt her. And when he left, she couldn't sleep again. The whole night chills traveled down her spine. She kept on turning sides trying to sleep when she had felt his footsteps again walking towards the room where she was laid down. She felt him sitting across the chair and gawking at her. Out of terror she couldn't even open her eyes as the strong feeling of his eyes looking at her encapsulated her. When almost three hours or so had elapsed he stood up and walked away after making her breathless the whole night.

'I want you'

'What did he want from me?' She thought. She already had given him more then she could ever give to someone. Her purity. Chastity. Now what else did he want from her?

What else?

She had nothing else left to give to him? Then what? What did he want?

Why was he making fun of her circumstances?

Why wasn't he letting her go?

Why was he torturing her like that? Why? Why?

Struck in the web of her thoughts she didn't realize when a tears had slipped down her eye and him coming through the door.

Her glassy eyes moved up as she stared at him. He was the sole focus of her eyes. She saw a frown coming across his brows as he moved inside when she instinctively moved back.

"I see tears in those beautiful pair of eyes," he stated as he entered through the door. His hair wet as he just came out of shower.

Realizing she immediately cleaned her face and fixed herself as he sat across her.

"The work you gave me is done, sir," she told in her quiet voice.

"Hmm" he uttered slightly nodding his head while his eyes were pin pointed at her making her anxious.
