"What the hell did I tell you? I want that scoundrel dead! If you fail to accomplish this, you shall face dire consequences!" Alex screamed, his anger boiling over. Without waiting for a reply, he abruptly ended the call.

With an impassive expression, Alex greeted his mother, "Good morning, Mom."

"Good morning, son," his mother mirrored his demeanour, responding in a calm tone.

Taking his seat, Alex observed as the maid served the food, accidentally brushing him.

"How dare she touch me without permission?" his mind screamed, filled with outrage.

He was not like those frivolous billionaires who indulged in promiscuity. His disdain for women extended to physical contact.

Swiftly, he grabbed a knife and slashed the maid's arm, bellowing, "How dare you lay a hand on me! Leave this place before I sever your arm from your body!"

His mother, taken aback, asked, "Why do you behave this way, Alex?"

Alex turned to her, devoid of emotion, and replied, "Mom, I despise it when any woman touches me."

The maid ran away, crying and with blood spilling from her arm.

His mother pleaded, "You can't just do this. In the future, I want you to marry and lead a normal life."

Alex retorted, "I am only 25 years old, Mother. I will choose my own path in life. I won't abandon the woman I choose, but I haven't found anyone yet, and I doubt I ever will." With that, Alex left the scene.

"I hope that one day he will find his soulmate. It pains me to see my child like this! God, please grant him someone special. I fear that the girl he falls in love with will endure great suffering because when Alex becomes attached to something, he becomes possessive. Only God knows how he will react when he finds someone to love," his mother pondered, her heart filled with concern.

Alex settled into his car, instructing the driver to take him to his office.

The driver obediently replied, "Yes, master," and began the journey.

A smirk played upon Alex's lips as he observed the fear in his driver's eyes, relishing the power he held over everyone.

The car came to a halt, and Alex entered his office. All eyes were averted, for he despised direct eye contact.

His office was devoid of female staff, as he vehemently opposed their presence. Such was his decree. He entered his private cabin and immersed himself in work, knowing that this day would be arduous.

After a hectic schedule, Alex returned home, changed into comfortable clothes, and sat at the dining table. He said, "Mom, sorry for the morning."

"It's okay, son. Well, I am going to a party," his mom replied, knowing she didn't want to anger him by saying anything that might brush past his temper.

"Okay, mom. Have fun," Alex responded, his tone softening.

When his mother and the servants left, he went to his office attached to his bedroom and started working. He loved working hard; it was his passion.

He never felt passion for anything except his work. He worked hard to live, largely.

While working in his office, Alex noticed a dog entering his bedroom and wondered how it managed to enter the property. It is heavily guarded.

His attention shifted when he saw a young girl also entering his office . Despite his initial anger, Alex's breath caught in his throat when he laid eyes on her face.

The girl appeared to be around 18 or 19 years old and possessed a striking beauty. With her cute face, fair complexion, and red eyes, she wore shorts and a top that accentuated her milky legs. In an inexplicable moment, Alex felt an overwhelming need to protect her, as if she were his own, his angel.

Confused by his possessive feelings towards a woman, Alex questioned himself, acknowledging that this was a new experience for him.

As Alisha entered the room, she noticed a man sitting on a chair, causing her to feel uneasy. She felt his intense, predatory gaze upon her.

Reacting to the girl's presence, Alex exclaimed, "What audacity! How dare you enter my house!"

"Sorry Sir, my dog came here," Alisha became frightened and explained, her voice quivering.

Alex's thoughts wandered to how the girl's voice would sound beneath him, but he quickly reprimanded himself, urging self-control.

Alex's jealousy flared at the thought of the dog touching her.

"What a sorry girl, how dare you enter my house," he screamed, his anger escalating.

"Don't make excuses, bitch. I know you came here for me. You are a gold digger who came here to seduce me, right?," Alex accused, his voice filled with contempt.

"What are you saying? What is the meaning of bitch and gold digger, sir?" Alisha replied, her confusion evident.

Alex was dumbfounded by her reply. How could she not know the meaning of those words?

"No... No, she is pretending," he thought, his mind racing to find an explanation.

Alisha gathered all her courage and said, "Okay, sir. I am going. Thanks."

"Stop," Alex commanded, his voice firm.

Alisha stopped in her tracks and looked back. "Yes, sir?" she said, her voice filled with trepidation.

"Do you know me?" Alex asked, his curiosity piqued.

"No, sir," Alisha replied, blinking her innocent eyes.

Alex was shocked that this girl did not know him, the youngest billionaire in the country, when girls fell for him everywhere.

"You are lying," he accused, his suspicion growing.

"Mother Mary told me never to lie. Why would I lie to you?" Alisha responded, her voice trembling.

"This girl is a bit crazy," Alex thought, his confusion deepening.

He stood up and walked toward Alisha, who cowered in fear and tried to back away. But he grabbed her waist, and she held her so-called pet, trying to remove his hands from her.

"Don't struggle, angel," Alex whispered, his voice filled with possessiveness.

"I am not an angel, sir. Mother said angels are those who die and then become angels, but I am a living person, sir," Alisha said, her voice filled with innocence.

"Do you have any mental problems, Angel?" Alex asked, his concern mingling with his possessiveness.

He didn't even know why he was giving her a nickname, but it slipped out involuntarily.

"I told you I am not an angel. I have a name, and it's Alisha. I have no mental problems, and yeah, you can't call me an angel. You are mental," Alisha retorted, her voice laced with defiance.

Alex squeezed her belly above her top, causing Alisha to gasp in pain, tears flowing from her eyes.

"Her tears are also mine. What is happening to you?" Alex wondered, his emotions in turmoil.

"So tell me, why did you come here, angel? And why are you out on this night? And why the hell are you wearing short clothes?" Alex questioned, his voice filled with anger and confusion.

Alisha was now crying and didn't reply to him, her fear overwhelming her.

Her dog suddenly bit Alex's hand, causing him to curse out loudly in pain. Without a second thought, he let Alisha go and pulled out his gun and shot the dog directly in the head.

Alisha started shaking with fear, her clothes soaked in the blood of her lovable dog. She was gasping, holding her lifeless pet in her hands.

"Oh! Don't cry, Angel. I will not kill you, unless you do something that causes me to do so," Alex said.

"Take this dog away and burn his body. I will talk to you later about why you didn't think that you would not get punished," Alex pulled his phone out and called the guard and said, his voice commanding.

The guard came within a few seconds and started shivering. He knew how his master was, but he took the dog away as instructed.

Alisha went pale seeing how the guard was carrying her little lucky , all dead.

She fainted with shock.

Before her body could touch the ground, Alex noticed and caught her and carried her to his room, making her lie on the bed, her clothes soaked in blood.

"What are you doing with me? I never let anyone into my room. I never touched any women, but look what you made me do," Alex thought to himself, his mind filled with conflicting emotions.

Then he looked at his own clothes, stained with blood, and realised he needed to take a bath.

"Her clothes and body need to be cleaned as well."

"Why am I doing this?" Alex wondered aloud as he carried the girl to the bathroom.

"A maid could have done it, but she would have touched her. I didn't want anyone to lay a finger on my angel," Alex thought, his voice brimming with concern and protectiveness. "What on earth is happening? Why is this crossing my mind? She is not mine."

"No. She is yours," his conscience chimed in.

"She is not," Alex retorted, his voice filled with denial.

"So why do you want to bathe this girl? You know she wouldn't appreciate it," mocked his conscience. "A man cannot simply bathe any girl if she is not his."

Alex pushed aside his thoughts and firmly resolved, "No. I am only doing it for her sake, as she needs a bath, her unconscious body reeking of blood."

With determination in his voice, Alex brushed away his conflicting emotions as he entered the bathroom and prepared a soothing bubble bath for her. As he undressed both himself and the girl, he couldn't help but notice how delicate she was. Her captivating red hair and eyes held him spellbound, and her pale, snow-white skin ignited a wild sensation within him.

" Control yourself, Alex. Just control," he whispered to himself, his voice filled with a mix of desire and restraint. "No woman can seduce me, but this little angel is captivating me effortlessly."

Alex gently placed her in the tub and sat beside her, cradling her against his chest. The touch of her back against his hardened body sent a surge of desire through him.

He continued to wash her, his actions filled with tenderness and care.

After bathing her, he carried her out of the bathroom, dressing her in his shirt, his voice brimming with a mixture of protectiveness and affection.

Alex settled her on the sofa and changed the bedsheet, noticing a bloodstain from a dog's injury.

"I am doing something for someone, something I have never done for anyone, not even for my own mother or my closest friend," Alex's thoughts were consumed by the girl's beauty, his voice filled with admiration and fascination. "When I bathed her, everything about her, from her smooth and silky long hair to her radiant presence, was simply exquisite."

"I have encountered many women who desired me, but I never desired them. Yet, I desire this angel. Whatever Alex Sharma wants, he will obtain at any cost, regardless of the obstacles," he spoke to himself with determination.

As he lay beside her, Alex could hardly believe that he held her in his arms, his voice filled with awe and disbelief. "She is so soft, so warm. Before, I was all alone, but this feels so right."

"She may despise me, but I will not leave her. No matter how much she hates me, she must remain here, forever locked in my embrace."

Alex acknowledged his forceful nature but emphasised his capacity for love, his voice filled with a blend of strength and tenderness. "I may assert myself forcefully, but that does not mean I am incapable of love."

Even in his half-asleep state, Alex's thoughts were consumed by her, his voice filled with a sense of obsession and infatuation. "Her face, her breath, her fragrance—I cannot get enough. She is the beacon of light in my dark world, and I am prepared to bask in her radiance."

"I must confront my own anger issues, and she, in turn, infuriates me. However, her innocence sets her apart. She is a special angel, and I refuse to taint her purity."

Lost in his thoughts, Alex drifted off to sleep with her in his arms, his voice filled with a sense of contentment and longing.

In the morning,

Alisha woke up feeling as though she was in someone's embrace, only to find herself face to face with a man.

Overwhelmed with grief, she cried out, "Who killed my Lucky? And why am I only wearing a shirt? Where are my clothes and undergarments?" Her tears flowed uncontrollably as she believed that her love had been taken away from her.

Startled by the sound of her cries, Alex jolted awake from his sleep and angrily shouted, "Who dares to wake me up? Do you want to die?" Hearing his harsh words, Alisha's tears intensified, and she sobbed even harder.

Alex strained to listen to her cries, and amidst the sound, he realised that he had his angel right there with him. Her voice, even in distress, was like music to his ears. Without hesitation, he gently lifted her onto his lap, disregarding the slight lift of her shirt caused by his sudden action. With a commanding voice, he asked, "Why are you crying, Angel?"

"Let me go, you murderer! You killed my love." Alisha cried out in pain.

Alex's anger flared, and he demanded, "Who is this Lucky you speak of?",

"My dog". In between sobs, Alisha managed to utter it.

Alex's anger subsided slightly, but a tinge of jealousy crept in as he questioned, "How can you call a dog your love?"

Alisha defended her affection, saying, "He is my love. My mother said he is like a brother to me." Alex realised that her mother had influenced her perspective.

Desperate to be released, Alisha pleaded, "Let me go! Why did you change my clothes? My mother said no one can touch me without my permission."

Alex's thoughts raced as he remembered that he had even bathed her.

"And I'm not a baby! How can you just take me in your lap? I'm 18 years old." Alex thought to himself, "This girl has surely lost her mind", Alisha continued.

Taking advantage of the moment, Alisha stood up from the bed .

Enraged, Alex gritted his teeth and growled, "Did I tell you to stand up, Angel?"

"You're not my teacher, who gives me permission to leave his class or stand up like that. I'm not in school anymore; I'm in college, sir," Alisha retorted,

Alex sighed and corrected her, "I'm not a sir. My name is Alex, and I'm 25 years old."

"Oh! Similar names, Alisha and Alex. And you're a big Alex at 25." Alex acknowledged the age difference but thought, "Let it be. Who said I wanted her?"Surprised, Alisha exclaimed,

His conscience chimed in, "she is lost with her screw"

Ignoring his conscience, Alex said, "Your name is Alisha."

"I'm not going to tell you my name. I never tell strangers my name." Alisha declared.

Alex facepalmed and thought, "She already told me her name when she joined Alisha with Alex. She's just being difficult. She told her name yesterday too. This is hilarious."

"Okay, don't tell me your name is Alisha," Alex smirked.

"Oh! So you know my name. Can you read minds?" Alisha exclaimed.

Alex thought sarcastically, "This confirms she's a patient who ran away from a mental asylum."

Ignoring her comment, Alex asked, "So, why did you come here?"

"My pet came here last night. I followed him for a walk, but he ran away. I got here looking for him, and then I found him. You killed him, even though I told you not to," she, with her teary eyes, answered.

Alex's anger flared, and he retorted, "He's not your love; he's just a dog. And why were you roaming around at night? Where were your parents?"

Alisha explained, "My mother asked me to take him for a walk." Alex questioned her mother's decision, "How could your mom take such risks and let you roam around at night?"

Inquisitively, Alisha asked, "Are you from the crime investigation department?"

"What?"

"You're asking questions like them, so I thought you might be able to help me." Alisha clarified.

Alex mentally facepalmed,"What are you even thinking?.

"I'm not thinking about anything. It's you who's asking." Angrily, she replied .

"Just shut up!"

Immediately, Alisha stopped crying, afraid of his anger. She hiccuped and apologised, saying, "I'm sorry."

Alex questioned her mother's decision, "How could your mom take such risks and let you roam around at night?"

"Are you in school? You're 25 years old." Sarcastically, Alisha asked.

Irritated, Alex replied, "No, I'm not in school. Don't test my patience."

Alisha continued, "So, are you in college?"

Frustrated, Alex snapped, "No, I'm not. I already have several companies."

Alisha remarked, "So, why would I test you?"

Annoyed by her nonsensical comments, Alex's anger grew, more and more .

"Do you have a fever?"

"No."

"Then why do you look like a tomato?"

"I'm angry because of your pointless chatter, girl!" Alex screamed in her face.

Alisha defended herself, saying, "What do you mean pointless? I'm talking sensibly."

Alex thought to himself, "If this is sensible, I wonder what her nonsensical talk would be like."

His conscience mocked him, "Oh, so you want to hear her talk?",

"Just shut up!"Alex snapped back .

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Alex angrily responded, "Who told you to leave?"

"Nobody, but it's basic manners not to stay in a murderer's home. I'm going to complain to the police that you killed my love." Alisha explained.

"Do you even know what you're saying? The police won't charge me for killing a dog, and even if I killed you, they couldn't do anything." Alex, with shock written on his face, questioned

"Oh, Mr. For murder, the police can do anything. They chase criminals and punish them. I've seen it in movies."
