Chapter 10 - Aching Within

I stood still as it sank into me, without a word I walked out, I could hear him calling me but right now all I could remember was our times together and all this time he was married and he had kids, his footsteps were just right behind me, I was pushed into the elevator and the doors closed.

"You left him alone in your cabin" I retorted.

"He's fine, I asked Nadia to see him" he replied.

"Whats wrong Madhu?"

"You're married and you came onto me?" I questioned feeling disgusted that he was married and he was playing behind his wife's back.

"Was"

"What?"

"I was married" he leaned his back against the steel wall crossing his ankles. "Why'd you run Madhu?"

"This is wrong" I shook my head. This is so wrong.

"But is it really?"

"Why is he scared of you?" I asked remembering those eyes which were so filled longing and loneliness. "Did you hurt him?" I asked forgetting we only had a professional relationship but I couldn't help myself. I know what a disturbed childhood could do to someone; it could ruin their entire life.

"I've never touched him" He responded sharply. "I don't do abuse Madhu" he narrowed his eyes at me.

I stepped back as he moved towards me, I swallowed hard and blinked as my eyes clouded, I turned my head away from him.

"Stop running away"

"Stay away from me" I whimpered out.

"You can't run if you tried Madhu"

I shook my head. "You're wrong. You're wrong" I pushed at his chest as he neared me, he was too close and I needed to get far away, far far away.

He pressed his cheek to mine, his breath caressing my ears. "You can't run"

I pushed his chest and stepped back. "Stay away from me" I whipped out sharply and turned my head as the doors opened, glancing back at him once I walked past him quickly.

"You still work for me Madhu" he stated making me stop in my steps.

"Walk out and you'll lose your job" he threatened.

I turned around and watched him as he stood alone in the lift, I considered everything over the past few days and turned away heading out the door. I couldn't stay here and work for him, he was getting under my skin too quickly and I was allowing it, I needed to grip myself together. Rishabh was dangerous for me. Too dangerous. I could almost feel the ache in my heart even distancing from him right now, before I sink I needed to save myself.

Rishabh

I watched her retreating back, I hadn't thought she'll walk out especially when she'd pleaded for this job, my jaws tightened in frustration as she reached the door, I stormed over unable to stop myself, I gripped her hand that held onto the handle pushing her out, swiftly turning her to face me I locked her arm behind her back pushing her petite body to mine. Her eyes grew wide and her lips parted in shock.

"You can't run from Rishabh Kundra" I narrowed my eyes dangerously. No one ran away.

"Let me go" She pushed against me but failed to budge me, I've allowed her in the lift but if she thinks she'll get another chance she can keep on dreaming.

"Rishabh" I heard her whimper, her eyes filled with tears suddenly, I loosened my hand on her stepping back. She didn't wait and ran away as if hurrying away from me, I punched the wall angrily and looked where she headed, my hands fisted at my sides as she got into her car and drove away.

Madhu

I hated him. I hate Rishabh Kundra. My eyes darkened and intensified as I remembered how he held onto me, a distant memory seeped back reminding me of that night, I swiped my cheeks angrily driving through the road, I felt a sinking feeling within, the face of that little boy's, what was he doing to his own son?

I parked up at the cafe parking where I'd told Tyler I'd meet him, I looked for my phone and realized I'd left my phone and bag in the office, I wasn't going back for sure, I was going to wipe the name Rishabh Kundra's name from my life. I wasn't going to give him space in my life.

I noted Tyler's car after 10 minutes, he parked up whilst I got out and joined him.

"Hey babe" he wrapped his arm around the small of my back and led me in. "Whats wrong?" he questioned opening the door.

"Nothing" I shrugged looking away.

"You can't lie for shit Madhu and you know it as well" he replied. "Babe?" he turned his head to me.

I shook my head, he nodded understanding I didn't want to talk about it right now, I couldn't, I can't simply talk about it right now or I will end up crying.

Rishabh

I walked back to my cabin once I'd composed myself, I picked up the phone and called Nadia.

"You can give Ayaan back" I told her roughly and placed the phone down. What was I going to do now. I had Ayaan to look after, I hadn't spent any time with him since Maahi had died, the last I spent time with him seeped back into my head and it was the day Maahi and Jiya were out for some girl time apparently.

"Daddy" Ayaan called. "Mama go" he pointed to Maahi who was dressing Jiya up.

"Aww my baby" I picked him holding him tightly. "You don't want to be the only boy in that party do you?" I questioned.

"ma..ma"

"Not going to play with daddy?" I questioned pouting.

He looked at me confused then wrapping his arm around my neck he rested his head on my shoulder, Maahi walked over pressing a kiss to his cheek.

"Mama will be back soon" she promised caressing his head, I kissed Jiya bye and watched as they drove away.

And it was the last sight of Maahi and Jiya I had and the last time I spent time with Ayaan. I swallowed hard and bit back the emotions, I wasn't going to weaken, I'd promised to be strong and I will be.

I saw Nadia walk in holding Ayaan's hand then she walked out, I looked at him long and hard, I hadn't realized how he'd grown up so quickly, I couldn't even believe 3 yrs had passed quickly. I hesitated calling him to come, I didn't even have the courage for some reason, I looked away inhaling a deep breath.

Seeing his eyes which were once so playful were now dull, filled with fear and longing and I was the one who'd put it there. Guilt wrapped around my heart like a chain and squeezed so hard I ached within. What had I done to my own son?

I snapped my head towards the door hearing someone swing the door open and noted a familiar man who stood there seething at me.

"Yes?" I frowned in confusion seeing him. I was sure I had seen him somewhere before.

"You bas***d" he lurched for me suddenly punching me across my face, before he could punch me again, I dodged him and punched him back knocking him back then gripped his collar bringing him closer.

"What the f**k do you want?"

"How dare you touch her?" he spat back pushing me back harshly making me step back. "You don't know what the f**k you just did, don't ever come near her or I'll break your legs" he threatened but I was hell confused who was he going on about.

"Who?" I yelled back slamming my fist on the table.

"Madhu. Don't come near her" he hissed.

Now I understood. I crossed my arms around myself and couldn't help but smirk. "She sent her boyfriend to defend her?" I questioned then saw her standing there at the door, I noted she'd grabbed her bag and files and guessed she was leaving.

"Let's go" she told Tyler coldly.

"First and Last warning and believe me I'll f**king do it" his eyes were spitting fire darkening coldly each passing second.

"Don't forget you're in my place" I retorted back then turned to her. "Next time fight your own battles than getting your boyfriend to defend you"

I ducked my head punching Tyler as he lunged for me, he bent down groaning.

Madhu

I wanted to kill Rishabh right now, I pushed his chest back angrily. "Leave him" I shouted and supported Tyler's side narrowing my eyes at Rishabh. "We're going"

I turned to leave with Tyler and my eyes fell on his son who cowered away scared, what were they both doing in front of a child? I could only imagine what might be going through his head, a part of me knew he will be fearing Rishabh over the next few days, if not more.

"Why didn't you leave it?" I questioned Tyler as soon as I closed the door of our apartment. I had let it go for a while but it was bugging me.

"Someone needs to show that bas***d, the world doesn't work his ways" he shot back. "I won't tolerate anything" he told me sharply.

"I told you because I trusted you, I didn't tell you so you go all guns blazing" I responded gently.

"I don't care Madhu. I know how you've lived in fear and I'm not going to let anyone else dictate upon you like as if they own you" he responded and walked away indicating this conversation was over.

I slumped onto the sofa holding the side of my head, I was confused and worried with all the things seeping in my head, atop of all that I'd gone and lost my job.

"Tyler?" I poked my head through the door looking around then found him on his bed with his back to me.

He didn't respond to me.

"Tyler?" I called again. "Its only Noon honey, are you sleeping already?"

"Leave me alone Madhu" he whispered softly.

I walked over slipping out of my heels and slipped in beside him embracing him from behind.

"You angry at me?" I pressed my cheek to him.

He sighed heavily. "Don't let anyone walk over you Madhu" he turned around tucking me in his arms. "I know you like him, its clearly evident but that doesn't mean you let him push you around"

"It's nothing like that" I stated. "I fancied him and that's it. Just a passing fancy"

"So you don't feel nothing for him at all?" he looked down at me curiously.

I shook my head then tightened my arms around him. "Nope. Not at all"

"So why do I feel you're falling for him?" he questioned and my whole body tensed.
