The devil possessed him the moment he saw her, her hands caressing that slimy bas***ds back and all hell broke lose.
His decorum, his calm, his sanity splintered and cracked down as rage, not blood rushed through his veins, watching her closed eyes, slightly open pouty lips and the look on her face.
At that moment, every bit of the level headed man he strived to be was stripped down naked into a primal, raw beast.
His body made it's way to them on it's own accord and pulled the offending pair apart.
Fist met smug face.
Parth smirked as Varun let out a howl of pain as he fell to the ground, clutching his face.
"What the..." Vidushi's shriek died in the throat at the look in Parth's eyes.
The look of an animal. Wild, untamed and uncaged.
Fist and legs met stomach and chest, Varun writhing on the floor in agony.
A smirk curved the edges of his lips and he turned to a wide eyed girl.
There was defiance in her face, attitude in her stance.
He'd deal with her later. He had a whole lifetime for that.
But the leech in front of him had earned immediate attention.
Parth gave Varun one last kick and let go of the remote in his hand.
The drone they had been working so hard on for hours fell to the floor with a dull thud.
Somewhere else, a screen was flooded with black and white and desperate figures ran.
"How dare you?" Vidushi screeched.
He'd had enough.
Parth's large hand went on her neck.
Her pretty, slender neck.
"P.." she gave a choked cough as he looked down at her, her hands clawing at his in a desperate bid to remove the chokehold on her.
The pressure on her neck was gone and she was gasping for air.
"Stay here. Don't you dare move." the threat in his voice made her tremble and she nodded, tears running down her face.
Parth went back to the man, the f**king bas***d who had tried to take what was Parth's away from him.
"You..." the pained hoarse whisper from that injured man's lying lips made Parth's face twist into a snarl.
"Yes. Me." Parth punched Varun square in the stomach and then in his side.
A satisfying crunch met his ears.
"It will always be me in her life. Vidushi is mine." Parth assulted the liar's face, breaking his nose.
"No!" Vidushi's words made Parth snap up and look at her, scared yet fiesty, shaking her head.
"If I see you near her again, I will end you without a second thought." Parth kicked the man right in the crouch.
The howl that was let go from the cheapo's lips made Vidushi cringe and she ran towards her fallen ex-huband.
But before her hand could touch him, she found herself pulled, dragged and finally pinned to the very same wall she'd been against before the attack.
"I'm not done with you yet." Parth's voice was velvet rage and it made her veins ice over.
"Hmm...Let me see, didn't I make myself completely clear?" Parth pressed her into the wall harder and she struggled, struggled to break free.
"What did I tell you this morning Vidushi?" he yelled into her face.
She shook her head "Nothing"
"Let's play it your way then." he backed away and kicked Varun in the crotch again, this time the man howled louder.
"What to answer me now?" Parth smirked.
She was shaking like a leaf, and in a soft whisper she repeated his words.
"I didn't hear you." Parth punched Varun's stomach, and the man coughed blood.
"Don't hurt him..please!" her panicked scream made his blood boil.
"Why not?" Parth stepped on the man's hand, another loud crack echoed in the cold air.
"You have no right!" her screech made him burn.
Consume her.
"I told you if you won't listen to me I'll have to force you to." Parth pressed her back into the wall.
"No one gave you the right to do anything to me." She raised her chin up at him.
"I don't need anyone to give me anything. I take what I want. And I keep what's mine." Parth cupped her cheek.
"I am not yours." She raised her hand to slap him.
He caught it easily and pinned it to her side, and gave the same treatment to the other.
"Let me go!" her voice was harder.
"You made yourself mine. You poisoned my mind, you corrupted my soul, you snaked your way into my heart. I want you and no one else will do. If I'm going to hell i'm taking you with me. I'd rather see you dead than be with him." the frankness, brutal coldness in his voice made her cringe.
"Are you going to kill me then?" she asked, her eyes betraying nothing.
Brave little Vidushi. His.
"Not yet. I'll kill you bit by bit and set you on fire like you do to me." his lips found the side of her neck.
"No...don't" she sobbed as he marked her, like a slave branded, a prisoner of what she believed was his lust.
He pulled away to see glazed eyes.
"Mine. All mine." his hands found her waist.
"Not His. Never his. Mine." the hands traveled up her shirt, finding her bare skin.
"Please..." her soft whisper amused him.
The lioness of a woman he loved was begging him.
"I'll please you all your life. But first." he pulled away, letting her sink to her knees.
"Let me kill this insect." Parth attacked Varun with blows.
Smash.
Crash.
Howl.
Pain.
Stop.
Pain.
Howl.
Agony.
"PARTH!" Sanyukta's shocked scream made him look up.
"Oh my!" She gasped at the crimson coating the fallen man.
"Who is this?" Randhir asked, his face full of confusion.
"Someone insignificant" Parth raised his fist to deliver another blow but was stopped by Sahil, Randhir and Jiggy.
"Don't!" Sanyukta screamed, looking at the fatal condition.
"Is he..dead?" Jiggy gingerly touched Varun's still body with his foot.
"No...but he needs to get to a hospital." Sanyukta shook her head.
"What's wrong with you Parth?" Randhir asked.
Parth shook his head and broke free from his restrains.
"You" he grabbed Varun's bloody jaw "Were roughed up by some goons. Say anything about me and Vidushi and you won't be able to say anything ever. Also, never contact her again. I find out you tried, you are not going to live to tell the tale. Am I clear?" Parth yelled.
"Y...es...I..never wanted...her...anyway." Varun coughed.
"Vidushi darling. Come here and listen to what your baby has to say to you." Parth smirked.
Vidushi froze in her place.
"Come. Now!" Parth yelled.
She cringed and all but ran to him.
"Tell her the truth." Parth gripped her arm and pulled her to his side, securing her wrists in one of his hand.
"Vidushi..I .." Varun splattered "I...just..needed you...to give me a...clean...chit so...I..could marry...my...rich...fiancee." Varun hissed in pain.
"Noo...this can't be true!" Vidushi shook her head.
"It...is...It was all my dad's idea...You have no..idea...how freaking rich.." Varun got no further as Vidushi kicked his gut with her heel.
"f**king bas***d." she cried. "Just..crawl away.." she struggled to get out of Parth's grip.
"Just take him away." she sobbed, her resistance fading, making her slump on Parth's body for support.
Randhir nodded and with Sahil and Jiggy's help started to pick up the fallen idiot.
"Vidushi.."Sanyukta began
"Don't. Just go to your dorm. I need to talk to her" Parth declared.
Sanyukta nodded and walked away.
Parth lead her to the bench and made her sit.
She was silent and all her fight had left her.
Parth put his arm around her shivering form and let her sob into his shoulder.
She was his. His alone.
And she was never going to leave him.
