Chapter 36: chapter 36
She snapped opened her eyes immediately not wanting to go down that disgusting memory lane of that horrible night weeks ago and when she did, her eyes immediately fell on the same honey orbs looking right back at her, with his gaze boring through her skin, sending shivers down her spine.

Her mind visited another round of dangerous images of a whole lot different place and her lips trembled, her eyes took the color of a terrifying red, and she started nodding her head to and fro while her breathing became heavy with every passing moment.

"Khu--"
"Don't you dare touch me!! Get the hell out of here!" she found her own voice breaking just as she noticed him going still in his place instantly turning into an immovable figure just looking right back at her with the same boring gaze. She closed her eyes again, hoping for the scary image to vanish away and opened them back after a few moments to indeed find the place he was standing empty. She let out another sigh of relief just when she noticed the person walking towards the door, momentarily stopping holding the knob and slightly turning his head to his side, as if making a final decision.

"Ar"Arnav?" She managed to blurt out with her shivering voice just as he turned around in one swift moment.
