3.5 Years Later. SAAFIA’S POV:-Today was Jacey’s engagement with Jared. Both of them got an instant connection already but they were so scared of commitments that it took them three years to decide to be together.And on that day, I was running after my three-year-old daughter who was running and I was worried if she wouldn't fall.“Lillia, come here, stop running!”Not caring, she ran and jumped into her father’s arms, “Papa!”“Be careful, princess, you will fall,” Dariel laughed a little, picking Lillia who was hugging him with a wide grin.An important work came so he had to leave for a few hours but in that time we all fell asleep.Because my sweet Lillia’s six months old younger brother had sworn to not let his mother rest.“Welcome home,” I sighed, shaking my head as I gave Dariel a side hug.“Thank you,” He smiled, kissing the top of my head while putting down Lillia, giving her his office bag so she could take it to our room.“Oh thank God, you are here, Dariel,” I sighed wh
He was darkness, I was light. He was hate, I was love. He was revenge, I was forgiveness. Folding my arms at my chest with a painful smile over my lips, I was staring at the couple getting married before my light blue eyes followed by tears blurring my vision. “Congratulations.” Whispering sorrowfully from afar, I tugged my auburn hairs behind my ears, releasing a low chuckle from anguish. Why was I so sad at a wedding? The man who was getting married was my boyfriend, Jared Raz. The man who promised to stay with me forever, the man who made me fall deeply. Only to leave me in the end after two years of relationship. ‘I pray for your happiness but I wish we hadn’t met if we weren’t supposed to be one. Why did you love me when you intended to leave me in the end?’ I was staring at the delightful couple, binding in an eternal relationship with an agonizing heart. ‘How easy is it to break the heart of the person you love?’I thought, releasing another tear but a smile not le
Before I knew it, a week had passed. I discarded Dariel’s words, not thinking about them.‘What the hell was his ordeal anyways? What does he want from me?’ I thought casually.Jared must be living happily in his marriage and I should search for my soulmate too. I couldn’t stay at one point.Humming to myself, I was wrapping my work to return home and surprisingly Sarah, my elder sister, called. Must be to get burgers on my way home.“Hell-”Instead, I was greeted with her panicking voice, “Saafia, come home, quick!”“What happened, Sarah? Is Father okay?” I asked worriedly. Our Father was in a coma and his condition was worsening day by day.“It’s not about Father. I have no idea what is going on, someone is here. Come home and deal with the mess you have created.” She scolded.“What are you talking about? What did I do?” My mouth gaped.“Just come home, dammit.” She hissed and cut the call.“What’s her ordeal?” Mumbling, I shook my head, taking my things, completing my work and ret
‘You WILL marry me.’His words were echoing in my mind, disturbing me. I knew he wouldn't leave me until I fulfilled his demand. He was selfish and too powerful, he will get what he wants.Shit, shit, shit, what should I do?“What happened? You look… frustrated.” My co-worker, Anne asked, noticing the scowl not leaving my face.“Because I am, Anne.” I sighed, stopping my work and hiding my face in my hands.“Is it about Jared? I thought you moved on from him. He cheated on you after all. Why shed tears for someone like him?” She mumbled, shrugging her shoulders.My mind already shifted from him because of a certain man who was hell-bent on teaching me how to hate.“It’s not about Jared.” I sighed, rubbing my temples. “Then?”“Anne, what would you do if you were given a chance to take revenge on the person who cheated on you? Would you take it?” I asked expectantly to get an answer on what to do.“Of course. I would want their heart to break like mine… and I know you are not like this
After he left, a few weeks passed with no sign of him again. I knew he wouldn't leave my trails easily. He was not that type of man.I was having a feeling the next time we will meet, I won’t have another choice but to marry him. ‘What he wanted to gain from it? It couldn’t be all revenge, was it? Why did he want me? All this sham? Ugh, why am I thinking about him!?’I failed to shift my mind from his proposal. For a moment, I also thought about it- What could possibly go wrong? ‘No, no, no, stop thinking like this, Saafia.’The next week, I went to work a little late and saw everyone was working furiously. My mouth gaped, blinking to perceive what I missed in thirty minutes.“What the hell is happening?” I whispered, grabbing my friend, Anne’s arm. “Did you hear? Boss is selling the company. We will work under a third party now. You missed his speech. I saved you by telling him you went to the bathroom.” She whispered back.“What? Why?” That was unforeseen. Things were going exc
I have done it. I ended up marrying a man I never thought I would.I was staring outside the window with an emotionless gaze. Wearing the arresting wedding dress. I never thought it would feel this dry and cold on my wedding night.As my eyes were affixed outside, the door slightly opened and the heartless man I married entered with swift steps.“Well, well, look who’s here finally.” A mocking tone came, echoing in the dead silent but profoundly decorated room. My heart thumped when he stood behind me, his heavy presence hovering over me. Tightening my grip on my sides, I closed my eyes briefly and breathed out in a soft tone.“Are you satisfied now? Isn't this what you wanted?”Gathering my courage, I glanced from my shoulder to look at the man I was supposed to consider my husband from now on but the question was-‘Will I ever accept him as my husband? An arrogant stone like him? Can I?’ Resting his hands in his pockets, a sly smirk lingering on his handsome features, shrugging
Starting my new life with the least wanted man I had no attachments towards, I started the first day of my marriage when sunlight fell on my face.Groaning, I stretched my hands. No doubt his mattress was so comfy that I wanted to sleep all day long there but for the sake of the first day, I sat up.“Morning.” I yawned when I saw him setting the collar of his white shirt and wearing his gray waistcoat, getting ready to look aesthetic as always.“Finally you are awake.” His nonchalant tone came, applying his cologne before turning to me with a frown and arms folded at his chest, making his strong muscles visible through the white shirt.He was no doubt handsome.“When did you wake up?” I asked, checking the time. It was eleven in the morning and I couldn’t help it, it was his bed’s fault. “I woke up early. I am a punctual man. I am used to my timings and schedule.” His stern response came.“Boring.” I muttered. Getting out of the bed, running my fingers through my hair. Trying to i
After our confrontation, I decided to avoid him but he was stubborn to the core as well. He also didn’t bother to talk either and we spent the next few days as total strangers living under one roof.But since this stone was not melting, I grew disturbed by his actions of not sleeping on the bed. It was making me feel inferior, like, I was too low for him that he didn’t want to share the same bed. It was… outrageous for me. “Seriously, Mr Cannedy?!” Losing my patience one night, I slammed my hand on the bed. He stopped immediately and turned to me with a hint of confusion.“What?” Titling his head in bewilderment, he was lying on the couch, using his phone and putting it down, waiting for me to speak.“Why don’t we change this bed and put two single beds instead, huh? What are you trying to prove by sleeping on the couch?” I mocked him, folding my arms at my chest.Sighing, he sat up slowly, putting his hand in the air to defend himself.“I feel uncomfortable. I married you for ano
