Chapter 15
"Please, I'm sorry! What have I done so wrong to deserve this?!" The tied little girl said looking nowhere in particular.
The room was dark. The cold night breeze was entering through the opened high window. The girl's half naked body reacted to the cold tied to the chair.
The girl was slapped on her cheek making her taste the metallic substance in her mouth-blood.
"You! You are an error since the moment you were given birth to. You are a mistake. Unfortunate, failure, ill fated. You destroyed my life. I don't know why your stupid, fool of a mother gave birth to you. No one will love you. This is where you will rot," the unknown person said while holding her hair tightly, as if wanting to remove her hair from the scalp.
"Please P..." She was interrupted by a hard slap on her cheek.
"If you dare complete your senten
Chapter 16Sophia's POV A man in a blue polo walked inside the dark room and I sighed in relief because he was not the person I was dread to see.My nightmare."How was your trip to wonderland," he sang, walking toward me and clapping his hands before taking a wooden chair and sitting in front of me."Think, Sofia; if Maryam is in this situation, what would she do? She is extroverted while I am not"I thought bitterly while I shook my head."Come on, be yourself," my subconscious responded. Alhamdulillah that it was not giving me snarky comments, I hated it sometimes but I loved it so much.I looked the man in the eyes. This man had a boyish face: I thought he would be in his early twenties. He was taller than me but definitely not tall like my Yusuf.My Yusuf!
Chapter 17YusufSomething did not feel right. He had a gut feeling that something bad was going to happen. Since the moment he left home, he was feeling like something was not right, but he shook it off and drove off.Zainab was in need of assistance; she was his childhood friend but everything changed since the last three years. He dated her for six months before he broke up with her and realised that she was like a younger sister. He wished he had realised that sooner.Even his parents wanted them to marry each other except his granny. Her parents too were wealthy but not like them. Her parents were divorced when she was still little but her father still loved her mother; he could always see it clearly in his eyes when he talked about how amazing she was his wife.Reaching outside her apartment, he knocked on her door. "Zainbee, open the door. I'm outside," he called her
Chapter 18YusufHe was sitting in the library when his phone rang."Hello, Yusluv," Zainab's voice slurred out."I'm busy now," he said agitatedly, ready to hang up before she interrupted him."Wait, what happened?" She asked worriedly."I'm alright. How is your husband? My regards to him," he said tiredly."Yusuf, you know that you can tell me anything. We are always each other's rocks.""OK. Later, please. I'm coming to your apartment," he hung up, sighed, then pinched his nose bridge in frustration.He rested his head on his hands. He couldn't even think without her. The CCTV cameras didn't show anything-everything was blurred. The person behind it knew him very well.He sighed and got to his room to freshen up and got some sleep.***
Chapter 19THIS CHAPTER HAS SOME VIOLENCE IN IT, IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE. PLEASE SKIP TO THE NEXT CHAPTER.YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. NOW TO THE CHAPTERSophiaI was praying to Allah because he was all Hearer and Seer. This pain was too much for me, being kidnapped twice! One by a maniac, obsessed Ex and now by this man."Ya Allah save me, let me be free. He's going to truly break me this time. Ya Allah, you were the one who saved and protected prophet Yunus inside the fish. Please hear my cries. Ya Allah, guide, protect and pardon all my sins." I was visibly shaking with fear of the unknown."Bring her out," a voice boomed out.Some men came inside and held my hand. I thrashed around "Please save me, don't take me to..." My words were cut off by a slap."Say one more word there and then I will be
Chapter 20YusufIt was like his world stopped moving,when zaid said those words.FatherFatherThe word was repeating itself like a mantra in Yusuf's mind.How dare he!How could a father subjected his daughter to this kind of pain!He was shocked,surprised, angry ,furious but what he felt most was rage.He felt an unfathomable rage.Yusuf moved near Zaid while Zaid raised his hand in mockery."Not so soon son in law" zaid said mockingly.Yusuf glanced at Sofia,her face was motionless, no emotion,nothing. Her eyes were distant. She looked at him warily like a stranger.He had damaged her soul.This man had killed her soul,the sprinted fire,cheerful girl."Let's
Chapter 21YusufIt was the fifteenth day at the hospital, she regained consciousness yesterday after losing her coma.The doctor had said, her brain and body had shut down due to the abuse, so they should be wishing for Allah's shifa and miracle.Zaid was shot by Khaleed that was what they thought because Khaleed had escaped in the blink of an eye and others had been arrested. It was Zaid that shot Sophia because he saw it with his own eyes.Something was still baffled by Yusuf or wondered if before Zaid's death ,he had willed all his properties for Sophia.Crazy!That man was a psychopath.The doctor said Yusuf should search for a therapist for Sophia, because of the terror and trauma.Whenever she woke up, she looked fearful, afraid and nervous. Whenever he tried
Chapter 22SofiaFeeling emotional or physical numb or a general lack of emotions, it could cause a sense of isolation or emotional disconnection from the rest of the world. The numbness could be unbearable for many people who experienced it.My therapist said many things about the numbness and shut down I was having.She said I was physically and emotionally damaged because of the abuse I'd passed through.Emotional damage could lead to someone to have anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, self blame, withdrawal, sadness, hopeless, disconnected and numbed.Physical damage could lead to insomnia, nightmare, racing of heartbeat, edginess and agitation.Sometimes some events might trigger painful memories.If you'd been traumatized, it could leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories and anxiety wouldn't go awa
Chapter 23SofiaI was currently in pure bliss, cloud nine, smiling cheekily, happy because we did the deed the previous night.There was nothing more blessed than a couple to copulate their marriage.The aftermath, I was sore. I meant I couldn't walk properly. It was painful, pleasurable and was enjoyable.It was bitter sweet.He carried me to the bathroom and bathed for me like a baby.We cuddled and I slept like I'd never, waking up from my long nap, I felt a gentle hand touching me, urging me to wake up. I woke up and saw it was Yusuf; waking me to eat .He was so handsome and sexy.All mine.I was shy with all the scars on my body but he kissed all and told me I was beautiful and didn't change his love for me.It mended my soul and h
