Chapter 10 {Hugging}

As Alice reached the beach he got down from his car and he noticed Alisha surrounded by children, hugging and comforting her. Alice's anger flared up at the sight. "How dare they touch her? How can these children have the audacity to be close to her?" he thought, his possessiveness intensifying.

Alisha who was still crying, her knees injured from the fall. Alice's anger grew even stronger seeing her. "How can she be so careless? She is mine to protect, she has no right to hurt herself like this. I need to do something about her clumsiness," he thought, his frustration mounting.

Alice approached the group of children and Alisha, his voice filled with authority. "Move," he commanded, causing everyone to turn their attention towards him. Alisha's eyes widened in shock at the sight of him.

"You murderer, why are you here? You killed my Lucky. What do you want now?" Alisha exclaimed, her voice filled with anger and pain.

Alice's anger flared up even more at the mention of "lucky." With a smirk on his face, he replied, "Come with me."

One of the children interrupted, accusing Alice of killing their Lucky. Alice's smirk turned into a threatening expression. "I can kill you too if you don't shut up," he warned, instilling fear in the children.

Alisha, still crying, refused to go with him. "I told you before, I don't want to see your face again. Please leave me alone," she pleaded, crossing a line that triggered Alice's anger.

Enraged, Alice clenched his fist and replied, "You should know, angel, that I don't take orders from anyone. I am the one who gives orders."

Ignoring Alisha's protests, Alice lifted her in a bridal style, causing her to cry out in pain as he pressed on her injured knee. The picnic spot was filled with onlookers, but no one had the courage to intervene.

Alisha, in tears, begged him to let her go, but Alice remained unmoved. "This pain will teach you how to behave in front of me," he coldly stated. He walked toward his car, reaching there he placed Alisha in the car and settled in the driver's seat, ready to take them to their destination.

Throughout the car ride, Alisha continued to cry, which annoyed Alice. Angrily, he told her to stop, but she could only manage to sob softly.

"Shut the fuck up", Frustrated, Alice snapped at her.

Alisha, still sobbing, replied in a meek voice, "Am I a television?"

"No," Alice replied sharply.

"Then I can't just mute myself," Alisha retorted.

Alice facepalmed internally, realising the absurdity of their conversation. "How did I fall for this mentally challenging girl?" he thought to himself.

His conscience reminded him, "You forced her into your life, this is your doing."

Alice dismissed his thoughts and answered, "You can keep your mouth shut without needing a mute button."

But Alisha continued to sob, making Alice angrily question," Why do you have to irritate me?"

"I am an irritated person, so why did you take me with you? Leave me, I can go home, and you can go to yours."

"Don't you dare",Alice's anger boiled over, and he shouted .
