《Contract To Your Heart》CHAPTER 36
Advertisement
I go back to the house to pack up my stuff. Once I walk in I find Nina cleaning the house. Not able to meet her eyes, I quickly walk into my room.
An hour later I come back down with my belongings in my hand.
"Dear..." Nina stops me. I turn around to look at her. " are you sure this is your final decision?"
I dont speak for a long time and then I answer. "I am sure,"
"Sometimes what comes out of your mouth is not what is in your heart...i can see it in your eyes,"
"It was nice getting to know you Nina...thank you for everything," I pick up my bag and walk out the door before I start crying. She treated me so well.
I turn around and look back at the huge beautiful house. I bite my lips so I will not start crying.
I remember the time I first saw it. The time when Zaid caught me from falling. Thinking back now, I wish I can go back to those times. All the times I spent with him and his devilish smirk flashed in front of my eyes like a movie.
********************
"Wait wait...its almost done," i say as I rush to get the food on the table. Aunt Risa, uncle and my two cousins are all seated around the dinning table.
"Nadia sit down and eat with us," uncle says.
"Uncle-"
"I will not take no for an answer young lady...after all because of you we have good on our table." He says.
I nod and force a smile as my conversation with Zaids dad comes back to my mind and then Zaids face. I shake my head lightly to get the thought out of my head.

I sit down right when my phone rings.
the caller Id read.
It has been two weeks since I left.
I press ignore. It rings again and I ignore. After few times of my phone vibrating and me pressing ignore, uncle looks at me.
"You should take the call," he suggested.
"Don't worry about it...its just some random number bothering me,"
"Are you sure?...it seems like someone is anxious to talk to you,"
"Who will be anxious to talk to me uncle?...dont think about it, your sick so you should finish eating, you have your medicine to take still," I say as I turn my phone off. My uncle gives me a sad look like he knows what is going through my head. I smile at him to let him know I am ok.
********************
I sit in my bed with a book in my hand. I realized I didn't turn my phone back on and so I reach for it.
21 missed calls and 13 texts. All from Zaid. I delete the texts without reading them and was about to put my phone away when my finger accidentally opened my gallery to a picture of Zaid and I. I remember this picture was taken on the day we went to the aquarium.
Something shiny.
gun shot.
"Stupid...why would you do something like that"
He picks me up in his arms bridal style.
Zaids worried face appeared in my mind. Him picking me up in his arms and carrying me.
Him pushing me against the wall.
I remember everything from our fights to me getting shot.
I look down at the picture of me smiling and Zaids annoyed face. I laugh.
"I miss you," I speak to him in the picture.
Then my phone rings again. This time it was Zaids dad.

I receive it.
"Salam," I say.
"Walikumsalam," he replys. I wait for him to speak again.
"I called to let you know that the divorce papers are ready,"
"Di-divorce paper...?"
"Yes...i don't think we should drag this any longer, the sooner you two will be on your own the better...beside Zaid is going away next month."
"He is going away??" Was all I ask.
"Anyways...you should come pick up the papers tomorrow from my office and sign it...you also have to get Zaid to sign it,"
"But...cant you get him to sign it?" I ask. I really don't want to run into Zaid.
"He is a stubborn guy...he will not listen to a word I will say...remember you have to get his signature," dad says to me harshly.
"Yes," I say and he hangs up.
Oh god. Now I have to see him tomorrow. How am I going to face him? I know he is going to ask why left. What am I going to tell him? That I chose money over him? That his dad made me leave?
I am not ready to face him yet.

8 256Meet Noah Hunt. He's the definition of a "good boy": perfect grades, all the right extra-curricular, doesn't drink, party or get into any trouble whatsoever. Why? Because he is on a mission: to get a scholarship and get as far as he can from his dead-beat father. He doesn't want any distractions- if you can't help him get there, you're irrelevant. It's always been that easy to stay focused until he meets a broken Damian Silva or "Silver" as Noah likes to call him. Can Silver show Noah all that he is missing? Can Noah save Damian from himself? Or will these boys be each other's destruction? Don't forget to add in a bunch of friends, jealous love interests, bullies and some strange happenings and you get their typical day of high school.....THE SEQUEL 'STILL BREATHING' IS OUT NOW!_____________________________________________________________________________"Oml I love this book so much thank you for making it...it's incredible ☺️" - yazmen98"I read this in just a day and was captivated by the storyline. This must be in the hidden gems collection " -3ndlesslove"This was, by far, the best one I've read. It just resonated with me when it came to Noah's POV. It wasn't something that just magically came together. It took time and effort for them to get to where they are, and I respect that. It taught me more about how to look at things so thanks a lot for making this book. I meant a lot to me. I will definitely read the sequel and your other books" - Generik_Jay
8 141Fated Nirvana || Completed ✅
The Fated Series. Book #1. "A single minute without her in my arms and it felt like a lifetime." - Mateo Ramos My name is Mateo Adam Ramos. I was born into a family who's bleed for their reputation, and built us into being one of the most dangerous families to exist. You hear my name... you run. I for one am determined to continue upholding that reputation because that's in my blood. But things are never that simple, are they? Feeling and emotions got involved, and everything I thought I knew, vanished the second I met her. A soft souled, beautiful brown eyed girl who gleams with goodness found her way into my life. I shouldn't have played the good samaritan, that was my fault. I don't want to know goodness, and yet I'm drawn in like it's the light to cure my sins. This goodness has a name, and a face of salvation and I for one know I shouldn't get involved. Guess what I do? I get involved. Because even if I don't want too that's not really how fate works, is it? You don't pick and choose fates plan, you get slammed with it and good luck to your poor soul. This is my story, the kind that was written years before I was even born, and now I'm living it. Watch me make a mess of it too, because after all, I wasn't born to follow. P.S. This book is technically #1, but I have a book before this one that's about their parents. You learn more, and get a clue about their parents and why they are the way they are. Some of the conversations in this book would make more sense by knowing the past. It's not as well written, but if you can get thought it, I promise you'll love this one even more. Of course if you rather start here, then you do you! It will make sense either way! I tired to fill in all the gaps without it getting overbearing. You can always hop back to the book before this after.
