CHAPTER 14

Emilia’s POV

My breath got caught in my throat when I was grabbed and slammed against the wall suddenly. A scream escaped my lips and my arms flailed. I kicked and thrashed as a sense of panic gripped me. However, it was futile. My movements were no match for the brutal force that was pinning me down. Eventually, the fight fled my body and I raised my head.

My heart skipped a beat before throbbing erratically. For a split second, I thought I was hallucinating but the characteristic scent finally registered in my brain. Tears rolled down my cheeks and a whimper escaped my lips.

“Nivaan….,” the name rolled off my tongue naturally. “Nivaan…. Nivaan….” I kept chanting his name as the tears flowed endlessly. I had never thought I would see him again in my lifetime.

The impact of being in proximity to him was so overwhelming that I couldn’t control my emotions. I leaned into his touch and almost rested my head against his arm.
