And yes I am not going to start a new story till I finish this.

No. That was not possible.

I remember him telling about a girl.

Suddenly the door opened to reveal Melissa with his little son who hurriedly ran towards Jack and jumped in his arms.

Whoa!!

Melissa?

Jack put an arm on her shoulder and carried her son on the other.

"Tonight I am getting engaged to this beautiful lady." He said and Melissa gave a shy smile.

Everyone was shocked.

"Whoa! I can't believe it." Dave said.

"Congratulations!" Ben hugged Melissa.

I too went to them and hugged both of them.

Everyone greeted them and atlast James came infront of them and hugged Melissa.

"I am happy for you." He kissed her head.

"She is like my sister and I hope you keep her safe." James said looking at Jack who was looking nervous.

James patted his shoulder and hugged him.

Thank God!

Thank you very much.

Now James has no reason to do anything.

We all had our dinner and then we said our goodbyes.

We both were silent through the whole ride to the home.

He parked the car and we both went to his private elevator.

As soon as first floor came I felt relief that he would be out but he was not planning to went out and he hit the second floor.

I went out of the elevator and started walking towards my room.

I felt him walking beside me. Soon he was walking ahead of me.

He opened my door and waited for me.

I was about to enter when he blocked my way by his hand.

"I'm sorry." He said looking into my eyes.

Did he really said sorry?

Should I ask him again?

No.. i don't think that's a good idea.

I nodded and tried to enter but he didn't remove his hands.

"I didn't do it intentionally. I was not thinking."

What?

"Put some cream on it..." He said nervously referring to my arm.

I nodded and finally he removed his hand.

I saw him walking back to the elevator.

He is really a confused person.

I think I should behave sincerely with him.

I should stop behaving like a stubborn woman and instead I should handle him in a mature manner.

But was I not behaving like a mature one till now?

I don't think he will ever change.

I was unable to sleep that night. I heard the message tone in my phone.

I am not feeling well..

It was from James.

Why is he telling me?

Should I go to him or not?

Do you want me to call a doctor? I replied back.

No.

His message came instantly.

Should I go to him?

No.

You should take some medicine.

I replied and waited for his response but there was not any.

Ten minutes passed by like that.

What if he is really unwell?

I should check..

I should call him.

I dialled his number several times but it was switched off.

Twenty minutes passed then I decided to check on him.

I took the private elevator and reached his room.

I opened the door only to be greeted by his broken phone near the door.

He was lying there on the floor?

I went to him and shook his shoulder.

"James? Are you alright?"

"James.." he was not responding.

I got panicked but control myself and called Mason.

He came in a few minutes and helped me to carry James to the car.

We took him to the nearby hospital.

He was under observation when i informed Dave.

I saw the doctor came back and gave some papers to Dave.

"We should not involved the cops, I know James will not like this." I heard Dave telling to Mason.

What's the matter?

Soon I saw his parents entered.

"Where is James?" Her mother asked Dave.

"He is totally fine." He assured her and that makes me felt relief too.

"He is out of danger now. It was only a food poisoning." The doctor informed and nodded at Dave.

"I think you should take Liza back to her home." Dave said to Mason.

He nodded and gestured me to walk ahead.

We were on our way to home when I asked him.

"What were you talking about not to involve the cops?" I asked him and he looked at me in a shocked expression.

"That's nothing." He dismissed.

I didn't ask him further. We were soon in the building. We were outside the elevator.

"Mason..will you please tell me what is going on? I.. I want to know if he is alright.." I started.

"He is totally fit Liza and even he has been discharged from the hospital, he will be here in a few minutes." He gave a small smile.

"Are you sure?" I asked suddenly feeling nervous.

Why do you care?

"Yes Liza. Now stop thinking too much, your face is showing how much you care for him." He held both of my arms and smiled. "Go and sleep."

Both of our heads turned towards the entrance to see a furious James who was looking at Mason's arm on my shoulder.

I instantly removed his hands and Mason gulped in nervousness.

He was standing there with his mother on his side.

"Hi Liza! I am very glad that you came here too. Please stay the night and if you please look after him" she said and hugged me.

Mason left from there and I saw James looking at me.

His mother doesn't know that I live in the same building..

I nodded at her and gave a small smile.

"But if you want you can go home and I will stay with him." She said.

I looked at him and he nodded a "no".

"Umm.. there is no problem..I can stay tonight." I said looking at her.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yes... But if you want to stay here too then that will be good." I said smiling.

"I think you are right. But there is only one guest room here. Would you like to share it with me?" She asked.

"Yeah.. I can."

"Good then, you go, I am coming soon, I forget my purse in the car." She said and went out.

"Why did you tell her to stay?" He asked me dangerously.

"He is your mother."

"But she doesn't know that you live here and now she will come to know when she will see your things in the guest room." He said clenching his teeth.

"I am not here with my own will." I said and averted my eyes.

He gripped my arms and made me look at him.

"So you want my mother to know that I am keeping you here forcefully?" He said while he gripped hard.

But that's the truth right?

"Is everything alright here?" His mother asked looking at us in confusion.

He left me suddenly.

We both didnt say anything.

"Do you live here?" She asked me and I saw James fisting his fingers.

"She was not getting a place so I told her that she can stay here temporarily." He said without any hesitation.

Great liar!!

"Yes he is right. And I will be leaving as soon as I get an apartment." I smiled at her.

"Why didn't you tell me before? Wait." She dialled a number and started talking.

I looked at James who was getting mad.

"See it was so easy. I will send you the address tomorrow, you can pack your bags tonight." She gave a warm smile.

I hugged her and as soon as she turned away James gripped my arm and said.

"If you dare leave this place." I was shocked.

Not shocked by his behaviour but shocked because her mother was still there.

She turned around at looked at us.

"James what are you doing?" She asked coming back towards us.

"She will not go anywhere." He said looking into my eyes.

"James. You can't force her like this." She tugged his arm to made me free from his grip but instead his grip tightened. She finally made me free and slapped him hard on his cheek.

"How are you behaving with her? How could you treat a girl like this?"

She said him sternly but he was silent.

"Liza I think you should pack your bags now." She said and I nodded.

I was about to move when he blocked my path with his hand.

"I think you should go back to your house." James said to his mother.

"James this is not right. Leave her alone." She gave him a cold look.

"Mom, it's better you leave now." He said.

"No I will not. Till I get Liza out of here I am not going anywhere." She said sternly and crossed her arms.

James cursed and stormed out of there.

"Pack your bags." She ordered me.

I went to my room and started packing things when I heard sounds..

James...

I knew it was him, breaking things around.

I heard him growling.

I left the packing and went to the gym room.

He was punching the punch bag hard. And each time he punched he growled.

He saw me and punched the wall hard. He winced but again punched it.

I ran towards him and stopped him from doing it again.

"James...stop..please." I cried.

"Go away." He was breathing hard.

"James listen to me." I held his face but he removed my hand roughly and stood up.

I went to him and hugged him from behind.

He froze but didn't remove my hand.

"James.. I am not going."

I said and he relaxed.

"Forever." I heard him say.

I didn't get it at first but then I nodded, he didn't see the gesture.

"Tell me you will be mine forever." He said holding both of my hands which were on his chest.

I leaned down and rested my cheek on his back.

How could I promise that?

"Say." He said again but louder.

"Hmm.. yes.." I said closing my eyes.

He turned around and captured my lips.

"You will never leave me and if you did... I will kill you before I see you with any other man." He captured my lips again.

I shivered at his words. His eyes were serious, that made me believe that he was telling the truth...

But..could he kill me?
