M𝐚yra's PoV:

I got so lost in admiring him that I completely forgot what I was doing.

The hell Mayra? You embarassed yourself again!!!

I turned around to grab a mop for cleaning the floor, but I found him standing in such close proximity that it hindered my ability to move forward. He was clutching a glass in his hand.

Maybe he's here to get water.

I was about to step aside to create some distance, but he quickly extended his hand just beside my waist, causing me to flinch. He then moved his other hand beside my waist from the other side. I widened my eyes, trying to comprehend his actions. He seemed to be in a position to hug me, but his hands were not touching me.

What the heck is he trying to do?

I quickly tried to push him away but his intense voice made me cease at my place.

"Shhh...don't move...let me fill water."

Oh, I realized that he was filling water!

But what's this behaviour? He could fill the water after i moved away from my place. I remained composed, averting my gaze from him and choosing not to make eye contact, even though his eyes were fixed directly on me.

But i summoned my courage and gazed into his piercing oceanic eyes as he worked behind me, filling water. Our eyes locked, and I found myself captivated by their beauty and depth.

His eyes left me feeling a twinge of jealousy.

"Are you planning to stand here whole night?" His voice pulled me out my thoughts and i realized he had already filled water and was drinking it in front of me.

"No-No...I'm..." I murmured at a loss of words.

Wait! He just licked his lips in a seductive way while drinking it. What a wierd way of drinking water?

I swiftly moved away and grabbed a mop. He was standing there as I wiped the floor. After wiping the floor properly, i placed the mop and hurriedly tried to leave, but he grabbed my hand. This time, his grip was soft. I turned to look at him, feeling uneasy and nervous under his intense gaze.

"Don't get too lost that you will regret, mi nena."

(My baby)

He whispered in a low voice and left my hand with a slight smirk and went out of the kitchen.What did he mean by regret? And what's the meaning of 'mi nena'? Oh god, he's really puzzling me!

'I was not lost, you made my senses blocked by your wierd gaze. You get it scumbag?' I shouted in my mind.

Idiot! I couldn't help but roll my eyes in frustration as I made my way out, to find some peace in my room. As I walked, I noticed his room was partially open, a sliver of light escaping into the hallway. Although my curiosity tempted me to take a look, but i resisted the urge and headed straight to my room.

Huh, why should i care what he's doing in his room and what not?

Wait, in morning he popped inside my room without even knocking. Why cannot i pop inside his room, when his room is already half-opened?

A mischievous grin spread on my face. Now i will also invade his privacy just like he did at morning.

I hurried quietly to his room, making sure to check around the corner before entering.

I slowly pushed the door open and peeked inside and suddenly the memories begin flashing in front of my mind of five years ago. My blood ran cold and i could feel shivers which were stopping me to go inside.

But whatever happened five years back, it was a past and i should forget it.

Common Mayra you have to muster some courage!

I scanned the room for any sign of him. The room was dimly lit, and he was nowhere to be seen inside his room.

He must be inside bathroom, i guess.

I began taking deliberate steps. It will be a lie if i say I'm not scared. Each and every memory was flashing on my mind.

His promise, my tears...

It's being hard for me.

I looked around everything curiously then my eyes captured a piece of paper lying on his bed, my curiosity even intensified as i reached to see what it was. I picked it up and read...

'You looked temptress in that towel.'

My cheeks burnt up reading those words. Before i could react, i listened an hoarse whisper in my ears...

"Seems like little kitten is too curious to invade my room."

I turned to look at him, who was standing just close to me. I narrowed my eyes at his statement and i rudely blunt...

"Just like you were curious in morning to invade mine."

He smiled at me. "Did i know you were in my house? Ofcoarse not." He responded calmly.

"But you perfectly knew i was in my house. Didn't you?" He whispered with a teasing grin on his face.

I feel like peeling off his skin with my nails, right now.

"You just shut up! And what's this? Temptress in that towel?!!" I asked showing him the piece of paper in my hand.

"Oh, i just thought to make a nice compliment for your welcome." He smirked teasingly.

I made fists with my hands, squashing that piece of paper.

"And how were you so sure that i will come here?" I asked throwing the paper somewhere in the room and crossing my arms. His lips curled up hearing my question.

Don't he know any other expression than just smirking?

"Cuz kittens are curious, mi nena." He hushed in low tone.

"Stop it!" I yelled infuriately.

"Stop what?"

"Stop calling me kitten and also those other wierd nicknames."

As i said this, he came even closer to me, shivering my soul. "But you like it, when i call you with those nicknames. Don't you?" He asked, his voice was deep and dangerous.

Like if i say no, he will ripe my existence.

I realized how close we were. I immediately stepped back, meeting his piercing gaze. The same dangerous gaze I saw when he humiliated me with such disgusting words.

My eyes welled up as I recalled those words of his. Why am i even engaging with someone who has no heart?

I took a step back and swiftly turned towards the door, then ran away. Tears streamed down my face as I entered my room, wiping them away.

I switched off the lights and sniggled under the blanket.

***

In morning, I was happily helping Auntie Zia in the kitchen to prepare breakfast. As I walked out with my delicious glass of strawberry milkshake that auntie Zia especially made for me, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my foot.

This caused me to stumble and accidentally drop the glass, causing it to break.

"Mayra!!" Auntie-Uncle quickly came running towards me worriedly. But suddenly they stopped at their places, shockingly. I looked downwards and saw Rian was kneeling down and taking my injured foot in his hands. They both were shocked including me.

"Ahhh" i screamed as he shoved off the sharp pin from my foot. Blood dripped out from my foot and it's droplets drenched the floor.

"Mayra, Are you okay baby?" Auntie Zia held my hand to balance me.

"Oh my god!" She exclaimed, as she saw blood dripping out from my foot. Rian stood up and before i could know, he carried me up in his arms. I looked at him with widened eyes, trying to comprehend his action.

He moved towards the couch and laid me down there. Auntie Zia quickly came with a first aid box and cleaned my wounds. He was looking at me with an emotionless, yet calm face.

Honestly, he looks so cute when he's calm.

But why did he care about my injury when he really hates me so much?

Huh...He's really an oddish!

We were all sitting in the hall, when i suddenly realized something and said, catching everyone's attention "I have an appointment with doctor today."

"Which appointment?" Auntie Zia asked befuddled.

"Nothing, it's just a blood test." I lied.

"But suddenly? I mean what happened that you are going to have a blood test?"

They looked baffled and worried.

"Actually doctor told me that i should get a check up. Don't worry, it's nothing to worry about." I said handling the situation. They seemed perplexed but nodded in understanding.

"Okay, i will call Avyan. He will go with you." Uncle Ved said to which i nodded in agreement.

"I will take her there."

We all turned to look at Rian, surprisingly.

"No!" Uncle Ved exclaimed, while looking at him with glaring eyes. I looked at Rian, annoyance was visible on his face.

"After what you did to her six years back, i cannot trust you with her." He said further.

"I'm not a child anymore who will keep hurting her. Although I don't hate her now, it was just my immaturity." He replied mantaining his calm.

Ohh really?

"I think he's right. What he did to her, was his immaturity. Now he's mature enough to not hurt her." Auntie said to uncle but he seemed doubtful and asked me "Mayra, are you okay to go with him?"

I didn't know whether to say yes or no but as soon as i looked at his face, i nodded in agreement.

What if i say no and he will trouble me again?

"Okay, she will go with you. But remember, if anything happens to her, then you know very well what i can do." He said warning him. I know he's very possessive for me since very first.

He didn't response after that. We all did breakfast and stood up from our place.

"Let's go." Rian said to me and started leaving from there. I followed him but my legs stumbled due to injury. Auntie immediately held me and said worriedly "I think you are not in the condition to go today, baby."

"But it's necessary." I demanded. Before they could response, Rian came towards me and picked me up in his arms.

"Lea-Leave me, what are you doing?" I blurted out surprisingly.

They too looked shocked by his behaviour. "If it's necessary than you will have to go like this." He said and begin leaving from there with me. I was looking at him, unbelievably.

He says he feels disgusted by me and then he's carrying me in his arms. What the hell is wrong with him?

We came out of the entrance of the mansion and uncle said to Rian "It's your responsibility to take her back here, safe."

He made me sit inside the car on the front seat and pushed the door and then himself sat on the driving seat and cranked up the engine.

I looked at him, who was driving the car without taking a glance of me.

Is he really wierd or is it only me who thinks he is?
