Chapter 9: The Confusing Affair

Minaxshi's POV

I watched them getting out of the car. A hint of jealousy surging through my veins. I was upset.

Ellie was my best friend and Humaid claimed he loved me. Then why isn't he telling me about what's going on between them? He knows I can see them. He knows how mad I get when I see him buzzing around women. Then why?

I saw him noticing my state. I didn't miss out on the smirk he was passing my way.

Extremely agitated, with either my own pathetic self or him, I don't know, I went inside the hotel. I don't care now. I will never be coming into his net of lies now. He's a god-damned player. Divyansh was so right.

And Ellie. I don't wanna talk to her right now. I'm so mad I don't know what I might say to her.

Thinking about how I was planning my brother's wedding with her, only gets to my nerves now. The plan had been destroyed and deleted, thrown into a trash can a long time ago.

Getting a text from a familiar number, I opened the message it contained.

What my eyes saw next broke my heart ever further.

Humaid and Ellie, were too in contact with each other, but again.... everything between them, was strictly online.

What do I make of this now? What the hell is going on? It's very clear she's been hiding a lot of stuff from me. I don't know what's going on in her mind. But if she was truthful in her heart she would've​ at least tried to tell me.

For my own sanity, I need to talk to Ellie, but I can't tell her I've been spying on her.

What do I do?

As of instinct, I called him. Nothing else working out in my brain, I decided that it's time he does some actual work.

"I need you to follow up Ellie. I want more information regarding her, Humaid and Divyansh. Get me all that you can lay your hands on.

Please, it's really important."

Humaid's POV

I watched her stomp inside. My Little wolf, never able to keep her emotions at bay. That alone made me smirk wider at her. I'm sure she must've seen that and hence such a reaction I get in return.

Ellie's just a friend of mine. I don't have any feelings for her other than being a good friend and I'm sure she'd reciprocate the same when asked about.

Agreed, I used to be a jerk earlier, sex chats and casual flings just a mere time pass for me. Emotions were an undiscovered 'something' that I knew, existed in only the less fortunate - something which I knew nothing about. Girls used to be my favorite games.

But since I met Minaxshi, I feel different. It sure as hell is fun to be with her but I know she has more to give. Innocent yet smart, she had me crippled right upto my brain.

I'm a changed man and she believes in me. And there's no way I'm gonna break her trust in me.

I sighed inwardly. I just can't lose her. She's my drug and I need her.

I still remember the first day I laid my eyes upon her.

*Flashback*

The deal with my new partner, (don't remember his name), was carried successfully online, just because he was there in India and I was in London.

Sitting at one place for hours took a heavy toll on my back.

I came into my office, tired. I just wanted to go home and relax with one of my darlings.

It was only when I entered my cabin, I saw a young, fine-looking female sitting in my office, ever so gracefully.

Her hair, shielding her face as she read through the contents of the page she was currently on. Sitting, one leg on the other, regarding absolutely no attention to me, she kept on reading. She was wearing a jumpsuit, and sneakers underneath. That was enough and I laughed out loud.

Startled on my sudden intrusion, she gasped, eyebrows furrowed in confusion, nose scrunched, she was quick in her apologies.

"Umm, well, Hi! I'm Minaxshi Grover, your partner Divyansh Singh Grover's sister. Well,...I just... I'm sorry I sat here without your permission. The office was about to close and I wanted to talk about something very important. Actually, I came here with a word from my brother, Divyansh. Some files need your signature,...."

That was all! I was a lost cause then. I zoned out from whatever she talked about. I just stood there like a dope, admiring her beauty.

I noticed she wore simple ear studs. Something about her personality latched onto me and since then... I was lost but found.

*End of flashback*

I don't know what it was, but after that incident, I was just so attracted to her, I couldn't help it. She was so innocent in everything.

I used to end up making a fool out of myself whenever I tried talking dirty with her. She would reply so sarcastically that even if my dick was real hard, she had the power to make it go flaccid in 0.01 seconds.

A bruised male ego, was enough to excite the man in me. I put in everything to woo this female. I promised myself to be committed to her. Even though she still tries to deny her feelings, I know for a reason that she feels it too.

I just need to show her the mirror and I will...

Following her inside, after Ellie went at her work, all I could think about was why was the poor soul so afraid of Divyansh. I know he's a devil but still. She seemed like she would faint anytime even if he so much as called out her name.

That guy was even planning to rip my throat out just because I had a thing for his sister.

Possessive donkey!

Believe me when I say this: that particular guy has something up his ass, I just know it. He fucking can't see people around him happy.

What is he: A damned credit card?!
