Do read the note at the end!

She stood there waiting for him to tell her about his 'rules'.

Manik came infront of her and stared in her eyes. He loved to do that! Looking in her brown eyes he began.

Rule 1: I'll drop you everyday at your college.

Rule 2: You're allowed to make only female friends. No male friends.

Rule 3: I'll come to pick you from college so don't go anywhere with anyone.

Rule 4: Always remember that you're mine!

Saying so he possessively held her waist bringing her closer. Nandini gasped at the sudden movement.

"If you ever break any of these rules Rose, then you know I'll punish you!" He said huskily.

Nandini gulped and nodded immediately whereas he nuzzled in her neck inhaling her scent. He trailed kisses on her neck making her clutch his shirt tightly.

"I'm going to kiss you now Rose!" He growled and was about to take her lips in his but was stopped by a hand.

Nandini brought her hand in between to stop him and this made him irritated.

"What?" He asked harshly.

"College. I'm getting late for college!" She reminded him.

"Fine! Lets go!" He said annoyed and moved out.

Soon they were outside the gates of her college. Manik turned towards her and saw her lost in her thoughts.

"Rose!" He called and she snapped out of her thoughts.

"No talking to any guys remember?" He warned and she nodded.

"Because if I come to know about any guy even coming near you I'll kill him!" He gritted.

"I-I won't! I promise!" She stammered.

He just nodded stiffly and pecking her forehead drove away.

Nandini sighed and moved inside only to have people staring at her and snickering about her. But she ignored it all and walked straight.

Since the time she joined college Nandini had no friends. She had tried to make friends but then the looks they gave her when she was new was enough to tell her that they weren't interested. So she stopped trying and decided to stay alone.

She was always called ugly, fat, disastrous which had somewhere created an acceptance in her mind that she really looked like a trash.

From then she had stopped trying to look any better because no matter whatever she wore, they always bullied her.

Thinking about all that she reached her class and took her seat in a corner so that no one would disturb her. But that didn't stop anyone from noticing her.

"Hey look the fatty is here!" A girl laughed.

"Oh yes the dumbo is back!" Another one said.

And the comments continued but Nandini chose to ignore it. They only stopped when the professor entered and she sighed in relief.

The lectures got over and Nandini moved out of the class. She started walking towards the exit when someone called her from behind.

"Hey fatso!"

She rolled her eyes and groaned at her luck.

Why can't they leave me alone?

She turned around and saw him smirking at her. He walked towards her and stood at a distance from her.

"How are you fat-so?" He mocked.

"What do you want Aryaman?" She asked in a plain tone.

"You!" He said shamelessly.

She resisted the urge to smack him on his face.

"Where did you vanish baby? Two days! Two days you were missing, we were so worried!" He said in a fake concerned tone.

She rolled her eyes at 'we' knowing about whom he was talking.

"Listen Aryaman! You and I, both know that the 'we' you are talking about doesn't care even if I die! So please cut it short!" She said in a bored tone.

Aryaman fumed seeing her so cool. He wanted to rile her up and get her scared so that she would go back with him.

"Where did you run Nandini?" He now gritted taking a step towards her.

"Nowhere Aryaman!" She said in the same tone making him more angry.

"It was our marriage dammit! We were getting married! Why did you run away?" He roared making her flinch.

But she composed herself and stared straight at him.

"I'm glad the marriage didn't happen! Because I never want to marry you!" She said boldly.

And that was the last straw for him. He marched towards her and held her by her shoulders tightly digging his nails in anger.

"Oh is it? But I surely want to marry you and I will!" He gritted digging his nails further making her hiss in pain.

Saying so he left her with a jerk and left leaving her in pain. A tear escaped her eye but she wiped it quickly.

Turning around she gasped in horror seeing Manik standing there.

Shit! When did he arrive?

How much did he see and hear?

Oh god! I'm so dead!

With shaky legs she reached towards him and he looked at her without any expression which really scared her.

He held her wrist and made her sit in the car without saying a word. His silence was scaring the hell out of her. The whole ride she was fidgeting with her fingers nervously

Once they reached he led her to their room and locked the door behind.

"Mr-Mr. Mal-Malhotra!" She stuttered badly.

"Who was he?" He asked in a cold tone.

"Huh?" She asked blankly.

"Don't make me repeat!" He said and she gulped.

"Ar-Aryaman Khurrana!" She answered.

"Who is he to you?" He took a step towards her and she took a step back in fear.

"I-I was going to get ma-married to him!" She managed to blurt out.

In an instance his eyes turned from cold to fury. He fumed in anger thinking that she was going to get married.

"Do you love him?" He asked suddenly clenching his jaws.

She looked at him in shock.

"No!" Her reply was quick.

"Then what were you two doing today standing so close?" He gritted trapping her between him and the wall.

"I-I didn't ...."

"Speak up!" He roared making her jump on her place.

Suddenly he held her shoulders on the same place where Aryaman hurt her. She hissed loudly and he retrieved his hand thinking he didn't even held her tightly to make her hiss so loudly.

Slowly he gently removed her hair from front to inspect her shoulders.

He saw red imprints of fingers on both her shoulders with some blood oozing out of it. He clenched his jaw in anger and she was sure it would break.

"Did he do this?" His eyes were red showing the amount of rage he had.

Nandini had fear in her eyes seeing him so angry. She was sure that now he was going to blame it on her and punish her.

"Rose I asked you something!" He asked a little loudly.

She just nodded feeling terrified.

"Bastard!" He cursed loudly banging his hand on the wall making her shut her eyes tightly.

She opened her eyes with a jerk when she felt she was being dragged. Her eyes widened in fear thinking he was going to punish her.

He dragged her to the bathroom and made her stand below the shower. Switching the shower on he looked at his Rose.

"Rose!" He called and she looked at him in fear.

He hated seeing that fear in her eyes.

Stepping forward he touched her shoulders making her hiss again but he didn't leave this time.

Gently he started rubbing her shoulders to remove the blood and the dirt which was there imprinted in the form of fingers.

The whole time Nandini stared at him dumbfounded while he did his work. After he was done he asked her to change and come out. Later when she stepped out she saw him sitting on the bed wearing his night clothes.

She slowly went and sat beside him. From the corner of her eyes she saw his jaw still clenched indicating her that he was still angry.

He turned towards her and checked her shoulders which were still red but the blood was gone. He started applying ointment ignoring her stare.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked suddenly.

He ignored her question and continued his work.

"Why are you showing your fake care when all you want to do is fuck me!" She said a little loudly this time.

He just stared at her.

"Go on! Use me and then throw me! But why this?" She cried and he only stared at her blankly.

"Sleep Rose!" He ordered.

She wiped her tears harshly and glared at him.

"Yeah right! I'm your pet right who should follow your orders!" She spat while he clenched his fists.

Then without saying a word she layed down with her back facing him. He too layed beside her and turned her taking her in his arms.

She was too tired to struggle so she let him do whatever he wanted.

After a while when he couldn't sleep he called her out knowing she was awake too.

"Rose!"

"Hm!"

"Go change!" He ordered and she looked up at him confused.

"Go change and wear my shirt!" He said clearly and her eyes widened.

"Please don't punish me!" She sniffed.

"I'm not punishing you Rose! But I can't sleep like this! So go change!" He said and she got up reluctantly.

She changed into one of his shirts and came out consciously trying to pull his shirt downwards. When she reached the bed he pulled her to him making her squeak.

He nuzzled in her hair and she too unknowingly relaxed when he did that.

"Now I can sleep peacefully!" He whispered and hugged her tightly.

She in return snuggled more holding onto his vest making him smile in content for the first time.

The next morning Manik woke up first and saw her all cocooned into him. He smiled and instead of getting up he pulled her on top of him so that he could hug her more tightly.

She smiled and snuggled more whereas he caressed her hair.

"I haven't let go of the fact that a guy other than me has touched you! Touched what's mine! You're mine Rose and I'll kill anyone who would even look at you!" He whispered dangerously.

"Aryaman Khurrana! Your worst days start from today!" His tone menancing.

Okay so yesterday someone asked if the regular ones always vote why do the writers threaten everytime to delete the story!

So this was the answer!

I don't know what you'll think while reading a chapter and why don't you comment!
If you can vote then why can't you comment? And its obvious on the part of the writers to think that you don't like the story if you don't comment!

Only votes don't build up writers motivation to continue writing!
And true one writes for ownself too but then why would one share a story here if he/she had to write for oneself only?

I definitely wouldn't be here if i jad to write for myself! So at the end i will just say that if you don't find the story interesting then please tell so that no ones time get wasted and the story also isn't taken any further!

Lastly i won't be sorry for what i have said because this is what i feel!

Thankyou!
