She stared at him in shock when she felt the pain in her butt area.

"Why?", she whispered like a scared and shocked kitten. He held her neck from behind pulling her face closer to his such that their noses were touching.

"Did you really think I would leave you this easily after you run away?", he whispered staring at her lips and then into her eyes which were filled with confusion and shock.

"But you said you won't hurt me", she asked feeling betrayed again as tears started to form in her eyes. Nobody hit her in her life, the butt area is a far-off thing.

"I am not hurting you, baby. I am punishing you for being a bad girl", He told her making her pout before struggling in his arms letting her already revealing outfit reveal more than it already was. His eyes moved to her cleavage which was fully visible because of her constant struggle which made him lick his lips losing his grip for a moment which helped her jump away from him.

"I don't like this punishment", she spoke running to the other side of the room hiding in one corner.

"Do you think you could hide from me after everything", he asked opening the buttons of his shirt and making her gulp before shaking her head.

"Please, don't hit me. You said you love me then you can't hurt me", she told him pointing her finger at him looking scared now.

"You really don't understand anything. Do you?", he spoke taking predatory steps towards her before trapping her between his arms making her shout closing her eyes.

"I will just spank you so you won't repeat this mistake again", he whispered close to her right ear making her shiver.

"Spanking is hitting only", she told him not understanding how these things are linked. She felt like he was playing word games with her but she wasn't ready to submit not this time.

"Are you sure?", he asked making her think again before throwing her on his shoulder making her gasp.

"Ji, you are acting like a monster. I will tell Bhai and he will come here immediately", she spoke scared kicking her legs and hitting his back with her wrist making him throw her on the bed. Her body bounced on the soft texture of the bed.

He picked up his phone from the bed before passing it to her.

"Go for it. But what I will do next, you would be responsible for that", he said shrugging off his shirt making her eyes move to his strong bare upper body. Her breathing increased as she took the support of her elbow to sit slightly.

"You always use fear to make me agree to what you want?", she argued looking at his face. Her innocent face was always a turn-on for him, the way she looked at him with her brown eyes clueless about what was happening around her made him shake his head for a moment.

"You don't understand with any other way", he spoke making her shiver.

He hovered over her like a beast covering her whole body at once making her stare at him in fear.

"It would've been better if you would've taken your punishment silently", he made her realize before turning her over on her stomach making her body freeze at once.

"Seeing how you are not really willing to take your punishment, I should be hard on you. Shouldn't I?", he asked pulling her on his lap. He pulled her hair whispering the words in her ear.

"Please", she pleaded staring at him with her scared eyes. He pulled the dress up letting her bottom part be visible in front of him. He looked at her who was looking down in embarrassment not able to move her body anymore. Her body felt heavy because of the way he was looking at her.

At this moment, he couldn't really hurt her but not doing anything wasn't in his nature. He traced her butt making her whimper before hitting her butt at once making her clutch the peacock blue satin bedsheet at once not wanting to scream. She bit her fist to control her screams as her palm made contact with her other butt this time.

Tears trickled down her cheeks as she cried silently. After five minutes finally, he stopped letting her move away from him, she moved away from him as soon as she can lay on the other side of the bed staring at him with pain and tears.

"You again proved you don't love me", she told him pointing her fingers at him like he was putting an allegation on him. Her body curled up in a circle as tears continued trickling down her cheek.

He sighed knowing how he should've explained everything.

He pulled her closer to him taking her small body in his strong arms but she kept struggling in his arms.

"Why do I feel that you enjoyed it", he made a weird comment making her freeze in his arms staring at him in shock. How can he think that way? All she could think about was the pain she experienced. Why will she enjoy something like this?

"Try to remember, baby. Didn't you feel even a bit of pleasure by all that", he asked her making her struggle in his arms again.

"I don't want to listen to anything. You don't want me. You don't love me. All you want is a physical pleasure which you get forcefully if I am not willing to do so", she spoke angrily this time letting out all her anger in this one statement.

She was tired of getting punished and treated like she was a baby.

Yes, he cleared her insecurities by telling her how much he love her but she is not able to understand why will a man like him love somebody like her. A weak, young girl who didn't know how to take a stand for herself for this long.

All this time, she thought she could change him. She could make his devils weak but there was no change in it. In fact, he was acting madder than before. It was like his madness for her was increasing every passing day.

Her eyes met his cold ones making her soul tremble. He was silently listening to her so he could work accordingly not too much not too less.

"You hate me a lot", he stated making her stare at him in fear of having nothing to speak.

"Did I give you a reason to speak to me like that? When did I force you to be physical with me? Every single day I wanted to touch you but I stopped myself knowing how sensitive and delicate you are and you are answering my all worry for you with your accusations", he spoke sitting up and making her move back. The aura around him turned colder than it was ever.

He was never like this. No matter, how angry he was but there was always a welcoming aura around him which made her feel safe.

"Ji", she whispered repeating her words in her mind only to regret what she said. The devil was unleashed and it was her words that made him like this. She sat up slowly pulling the gown together to cover her body unknowingly as he stared at her with red eyes.

His eyes narrowed at her before standing up from the bed while she followed him feeling guilty about her words. Yes, he was right. She did feel something apart from the pain but she was not known about that feeling to really explain it all in front of him. Though he shouldn't have hurt her like this but she made everything even by accusing him of something he never did.

Yes, he had anger issues. Yes, he was hard to handle but he was never disrespectful towards her. Yes, girls would love to marry a man with such a handsome face and status but it was also true that girls would run away once they know how toxic he was.

They stood on two opposite ends of the bed, like their personalities one was fire, the other was water. One was sky and the other was earth. They were opposite of each other yet couldn't survive without each other.

"How much more, Tara? How many more times would you disrespect my love? How many more times this will go? How much time it will take for you to love me because I am not seeing that happening. However much I try to make you love me, you only move away from me. Is it really that difficult for anyone to love me?", he shouted looking at her and making her jump. For once, she wasn't scared. She couldn't be. She was just too much guilty and sad at this moment that she couldn't think about anything else.

No matter how much she denies the fact that she was getting affected by his presence in his life. She thought leaving him behind and living a new life would be the only thing she wants in her life at this moment. But that wasn't the scene. All she could think about the whole day was only him. How would he be at home? What would he be doing? Did he eat something? Was he well?

Everything was surrounded by him. Her life got changed so drastically after he entered her life.

Her brain played the memory of the day, they met for the first time. How her heart jumped for a moment as if it met its other half? Her soul felt a different peace yet a different restlessness when she saw him but her consciousness made her remember that he was the brother of her best friend and that having such feelings for anyone is bad.

The moment when she saw his pictures with those girls when he left for a year, she felt betrayed yet jealous because she somewhere considered him hers. She never wanted to get hurt when she heard her friend's breakup stories. She never wanted to have that fate nor did she want to feel that pain.

But what now? Seeing him angry, she wasn't really seeing his anger but his pain and helplessness at the moment.

"How much more do you want Tara? I can't show you what I am not. I am a very bad man. I am heartless. I am a man who doesn't respect his own mother. I am the worst man you could ever find in the world. I hurt people. I kill people. I am disgusting. I am everything wrong you could ever think about", he told her making her stare at him with sadness. She wanted to approach him but seeing his red eyes and fisted hands she controlled herself. He wasn't his real self at this moment. He was overpowered by his anger.

"But you know the fact here. However much you feel disgusted about me, still you can't escape me. I could be the devil in your life but you would be forced to be the angel in this devil's hell because I am not letting you go and if you are so hell-bent on leaving me then my death is the only option for you", he shouted at her before taking steps closer to her as she held the end of the bed rest.

"Till the time, this Arjun Khurana is breathing, Tara would always belong to him. I am the only man who can join your name with his", he whispered to her pulling her closer to him taking her by shock. He touched his forehead with hers closing his eyes.

"Tara only belongs to Arjun", he whispered at last making her look up at him at once. She didn't feel scared of this side of him but felt sad seeing his voice so vulnerable. She moved her hand to cup her face making him open his eyes at once.

It was like she was in some daze as she looked at him before caressing his jaw softly. Her eyes moved up to meet his storm-like eyes before wrapping her arms around his neck pulling him down a little placing her lips on his taking him by a surprise.
