My heart came out of my mouth when he pushed me inside the dark room.

"Le-leave my hand," I choked while trying to ease his brutal hold on my arm.

Tears were brimming in my eyes while my heart was thudding rapidly.

Before I could understand anything, my back hit the wall behind me and he hovered over me with his dark gaze drilling into my skin.

"Wha-What are you-"

I tried to speak but then he cut me off brutally while grabbing my jaw roughly in hand.

My glasses fell on the floor and I felt him kicking them away before speaking in his rough voice.

"Shhhh..."

"Not a single word from this mouth."

"What do you think you were going out there huh?
You were trying to flirt with my brothers?
Do not forget why you have been called here. Quietly do your work and stop being the fucking centre of attention. Not that you can ever be the one! "

Saying this he left my jaw while pushing me back into the wall.

I was frozen on my spot while tears of shame and hurt kept streaming out of my eyes.

I kept looking at him with heavy breaths as his words kept ringing in my ears.

My eyes lowered to the floor as I hugged myself and sobs started leaving my mouth one by one.

I was scared of his manhandling and hurt because of his words. And all the work that he made me do was taking a toll on me leading towards a mental breakdown.

I kept sobbing while hugging myself and he kept standing a few steps away from me with his dark gaze fixed on my shivering self.

After a few minutes, I tried to calm down. I can't afford to have a mental breakdown in front of him.

He doesn't care.
Nobody does.
Nor do I expect anyone to bother about it.

I kept sniffing and wiping my tears slowly, however they never stopped and kept skipping from my eyes.

I didn't dare to look up at him and started searing for my glasses. It was hard for me to find them because first, I seriously could not see properly without my glasses. Second, he had dragged me in a dark room and third, my teary eyes and his constant gaze weren't helping at all.

It was after a few seconds that I finally felt him moving from his spot.
I felt him coming close to me and goosebumps raised on my skin.

As I am always scared of him shitless and I couldn't seem to muster the strength to fight him ever.

But before my thoughts could wander anywhere else he moved ahead of me while brushing his shoulder against mine and bent down near the table.

I could see his blurry figure standing up again and this time coming straight to me.

I gulped and sniffed when he stopped just a step away from me. Tears started brimming in my eyes so I just lowered my eyes because I knew I would start crying again if I saw him, and I didn't want to do that.

Before I could do anything I felt his fingers grabbing my chin softly and pulling my head up.

I looked into his eyes and more tears fell down my cheeks. I could see his eyes soften and he took a deep breath before wiping my tears from his knuckles softly.

His hands cradled my face softly as he wiped more tears and kept caressing my face.

I sniffed and tried to wriggle out from his hold but he tightened his hold more on my face and I could see the softness in his eyes slipping away rapidly.

"Stay still," he said slowly and kept caressing my face.

"Le-let go," I said softly while holding his hands which were cradling my face.

"Never," he whispered and kept looking at me intensely.

I shivered in his hold and my brows furrowed at his words.

What that was supposed to mean?

I think he also sensed my confusion and hesitantly left my face after wiping every cue of my tears.

"I don't want my family to see you like this,"

he said but this time in his usual tone which is stern, without a bit of softness in it.

"Yes sir. I understand."

I said slowly, trying my best to switch into my professional tone and nodded my head.

It doesn't matter how much it hurts, I always make sure I don't let it come between my responsibilities. It won't feed me nor it will prove anything other than the fact that I am powerless and can't even help myself.

I was about to say more when he placed my glasses back on my nose and tucked my hair behind my ear.

My eyes widened at his gesture but then he again gave me a shock and wiped the tip of my nose softly, which I am sure must have gone red because of crying.

He looked into my widened eyes and cursed under his breath before finally going out of the room abruptly, leaving me all confused and unnerved.
