Once, my paranoid love

When Paul hit Ron in the face, blood spurted from his nose. Every student was staring at them. “Don’t you dare to look at her,” Paul threatened as he seized his collar.

Nikita dashed over to Paul and attempted to free his grip. “What are you doing, Paul? Leave him alone; he is your friend.”

Ron became enraged and pushed Paul hard against the wall, saying, “What happens if I don’t? What will you do?”

Some of them started discussing their fights. It was not new for them to see Paul fighting, but it was new for them when Paul hit his best friend.

“Why are they fighting?” one girl asked. The other guy replied, “I’m not sure. I overheard Ron ask about Elena.”

Another girl: Isn’t she his sister?

“No,” said a student.

“I made every effort to communicate with Elena, but Paul threatened me.” He added.

Another boy: Yes, he twisted my hand once.

Paul yelled at Ron, “You want to see what I can do?” Ron threw a challenge at Paul, which made him angrier. He punched him once more. But Ron dodged Paul and punched him instead.

‘What’s up with Paul?’ Nikita wondered as she stared at him. ‘Why is he acting this way?’

Nishi asked, “What’s the matter, Niki? Isn’t it kind of extreme?”

Then Tina said, “Yes, I think that bitch has already eaten your man’s skull,” to which Nikita retorted violently, “What nonsense?”

“Niki, I agree with her as well. You should be careful, since Paul has informed you lots of times that she is not his sister,” Nishi said.

“Why does he say that all the time?” Nishi asked.

Tina said, “Yes, Niki.”

‘No, no, it can’t be. But what if it’s true? Is there any sort of connection between the two of them?’ Nikita thought, and her face became pale.

Tina said, “I can’t believe this; he punched his best buddy because of that girl.”

Their statements irritated Nikita and responded, “Wait a minute. Guys, please put an end to your nonsense. Paul won’t betray me.”

Nishi remarked, “You’re familiar with his persona, Niki. We all know how he is.”

“Yes, I know he has had relationships with several women, but he has feelings for me. He can do anything he likes, but he will eventually come back to me.” Nikita was trying to persuade them, but she was also aware of the truth.

“This time, Niki, I’m telling you that you’re mistaken,” Nishi said.

Nikita pressed her lips together and lowered her gaze because she knew she was wrong. But she was madly in love with him. She had nothing in her hands. While thinking, she locked her gaze on Paul.

Ron’s neck was clutched in Paul’s hands. He set his mind on killing Ron because he looked at Elena.

Ron chuckled at Paul and said, “Paul, I already placed her in my mind; no scumbag can take her away from me now.”

Paul’s rage erupted when he heard his comments.

“Ron!” he yelled at him. The professor entered the classroom in the meantime. When he saw them like this, he said angrily, “What’s going on here?”

“What exactly is going on here? Could you please explain?” The professor demanded a lot from everyone.

His blood was all over my hand. Ron’s nose was bleeding badly.

The professor yelled angrily at me, “What exactly is it, Paul? Is this your house or your father’s territory that you’re fighting over? Just go out of here, Paul, and I’ll call your mom.”

Paul eased his grasp on Ron’s collar as he gazed at him. But Ron kept smirking at Paul. The professor responded, “Nikita, take them to the medical.”

Nikita stared at them as she said, “Yes, sir.”

However, Paul stormed out of the room angrily. “Stop Paul, wait,” Nikita said as she followed him to a stop.

Paul glanced over at Elena’s class as he walked down the corridor. Elena was scribbling away. In this view, she appeared to be rather lovely. He came to a halt and stood there to get a better look at her.

Nikita approached him and took a position behind him, noticing Paul, who was staring at Elena. Elena gazed ahead, her pen resting on her upper lip. She was fiddling with her hair by sliding her finger through it.

Paul tightened his fist and said, “No, I can’t.”

“You’re only mine, and it’s because of you I hit my friend. Why did you choose to walk in front of him?”

Nikita called out his name, “Paul.”

Nikita’s hands were trembling with terror as she clutched his hand. She was aware of his rage, and she was worried about how he would react.

“Honey, come with me. Your hand is swollen,” Nikita told him. He abruptly yanked his hand away and walked away.

Nikita thought while looking at Paul, ‘My heart is broken. I’ll chase you down if it happens before then, but why can’t I do it now? Is it because I refuse to embrace reality or because I prefer to act as if I don’t know? I love you, Paul, but you seem indifferent to me.’

Nikita was suddenly startled to hear Ron’s voice, “Nikita, he’s escaping from your grasp. If you don’t hold him strongly, you’ll regret it.”

“What are you trying to say?” Nikita said, as she turned back.

“From my point of view, your man has already left,” Ron uttered.

Except for listening to him, Nikita said nothing. So, what was she going to say? Was there anything she could say?

“Don’t let him go,” Ron whispered quietly in her ear. He smirked and wiped the blood from his face. Elena caught Ron’s attention.

‘Elena, I will not let you down. Only you belong to me,’ Ron thought.

AROUND 12 O’CLOCK.

Elena did not return home. She went to Eva’s house to help her with some notes.

Paul had been waiting for her all day. He tried calling her many times, but her phone was switched off.

Paul cursed, “Damn it!”

“You have the audacity to defy me once more,” Paul murmured as he shattered his phone and spilled his wine on the floor. Like his heart, the glass smashed to the ground.

‘I’m going to teach you how to obey me tonight and make you my prisoner,’ Paul murmured to himself.

Pom dashed in after hearing the sound of smashing glass.
