Once, my paranoid love

“I know you like Ron, don’t you?” Nikita asked.

“Eva, don’t let Ron fall in love with Elena, okay? You like him, but you’ve already noticed how protective he is for Elena.”

“Boys are solely concerned about the girl they adore. You probably understand what I’m talking about. Don’t let Ron go easily if you care about him,” Nikita said.

They walked away after lecturing Eva. ‘Is he in love with Elena? I think I should tell him about my feelings as soon as possible. But what if he rejects me?’ Eva thought as she looked out through the window.

[Elena’s part]

I was sitting alone on the bench. But suddenly, someone placed a touch on my shoulder, making no sound.

“Elena,” Ron said.

“Ron, please don’t bother me.” I replied as I turned back. “I’m not in the mood to discuss it right now.”

Ron sat next to me and held my hand in his.

“When you cry, you have such a terrible facial expression. It’s not your style.”

He wiped my tears away and asked, “Would you like to go out with me?”

If I joined him, Paul would quarrel with him again, and I wanted no more difficulty at that moment, so I said, “Ron, I believe-.”

Ron stopped me in the middle of my sentence and said, “You are afraid, right?”

“No, not that; I just don’t want to cause any problems,” I stated emphatically.

He chuckled and asked, “What’s the matter? Wait for me once you finish the class. Eva, you and I will go out.”

I shrugged and smiled at him. Ron then walked away, leaving me in my way.

[The scenario changed to Paul]

Paul was looking for Elena everywhere. She was nowhere to be seen in her class. Paul murmured, “What have you been up to, Elena?”

While looking for Elena, he went backyard to the college and found her. Elena sat alone on the bench, working on something. He was astounded when he saw her.

Her hair was coming down her face. Paul thought to himself, ‘Why are you so lovely?’

‘I hit my best buddy because of you. I’m only trying to keep you safe from some jerks. Why aren’t you paying attention to me? No one can love you as much as I do. And you consistently ignore, despise, and lie to me. Why do you always turn me down? You can’t reject me like this. I’m Paul Wilson. You are the only girl who has ever rejected me. I want to live with you and start a family with you. But your father will not accept me. Your father will have no option but to accept me if you give birth to my child. And about my mother! As if I care about what she thinks.’All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

[After some hours in the car],

“Boss, why do you wish to remain at the hotel?” Obin said, adding, “You have a family.”

“I have no family,” Derek said in a raspy voice. Derek peered out the window of the car while thinking, ‘My mother made a bad mistake. For that scumbag, she paid with her life. You wanted to murder both of us, and she believed you wholeheartedly. It’s now your turn.’

They were stuck in traffic in the middle of the road. Derek was on the phone, talking with someone. He made a threat to someone, saying, “If he refuses to give us the money, shoot him.” He put the phone down. “What about D’Souza, Mr. Obin?” He asked, tapping the phone.

“I believe his business is doing well presently, boss. He will return our funds as quickly as possible,” Obin explained.

“I hope so,” Derek responded.

“If he betrays us, don’t worry, boss. He knows the consequences, and I heard his ex-wife was a millionaire,” Obin said.

“Ex-wife?” he said, raising his voice loudly.

Obin took a breath and exclaimed, “In a car accident, she died. But, in my opinion, it was a pre-planned murder.”

“Pre-planned murder?” Derek muttered. “Didn’t Mr. Robert look into it?” he asked.

“No, I do not think so. If he truly cared, he would undoubtedly find something.”

“He has a daughter as well,” Obin added.

“How about his second wife?” Derek asked.

Obin stated, “Mrs. D’Souza has a son.”

Derek peeked out the window of the car, and suddenly he saw his brother. Two young girls accompanied him.

‘So, my so-called brother is having fun with chicks,’ Derek sneered.

His gaze was drawn to a young girl who was absently glancing out the window.

‘That brat has excellent taste.’

Derek didn’t even blink as he gazed at her. ‘She’s a unique individual. Her eyes and her lips drew my attention; she was simple but stunning,’ Derek thought while smiling at her unintentionally.

‘You’re lucky if you’re not with him, but if you’re his prized possession, you can not be. Ron treats women like tissue, and I hope you don’t fall for him.’ Derek sighed.

“Elena, what’s the matter? Why are you so quiet?” Eva asked. I fixed my gaze on her and smiled. “Nothing, just a little headache.”

Eva then said, “What are you talking about? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Do you wish to go back to your home?”

In a split second, I answered her, “No way. I’m good.”

“Is everything all right?” Eva asked.

“Yes,” I said with a nod.

‘I don’t want to go home today, to be honest.’ I thought of it with a heavy heart.

[Just a few hours ago]

I was jotting down my thoughts. But Paul appeared out of nowhere and asked, “What exactly are you doing? Why did you push me like that?”

I completely disregarded him and focused only on my writing.

Paul suddenly yelled, “I’m asking you a question!”

“Elena,” he said as he seized my hair and forced me to face him.

I yelled in agony, “Ah, what are you doing?”

“I’m trying to teach you a lesson,” Paul said huskily as he hovered over my face.

I tightened my jaw and said, “Didn’t I tell you to spend some time with your girlfriend?” I frowned and added, “It’s a college, not your house.”
