The Day Of The Accident...

It was a beautiful day; the kind of day when birds sang, the sky was blue, and people all around were smiling.

A man with a muscular build and familiar face made his way down the parking lot in the university. One of Mr Black's men, I looked at the destination he was walking in, as I spot Wahaj.

I tried to discard it for a second but I couldn't.

I rushed to get into my car as I drove near Wahaj when I sow that the man was holding a gun in his hand. My voice rushed as I slid the window of the car "Get in, Miss. Muhammad,"

Thankfully, she immediately gets in without questioning why. I knew she would eventually, but I wanted to concentrate on the armed man who was now following us in the car as I drove faster.

I quickly came up with an excuse to keep her mind off the current situation, "Layan called, Mellisa overdosed, and I want you to be there for the kids,"

She began to laugh as I wasn't concentrating on what she was saying, but on the car behind us that started to follow us rapidly almost as if it wanted to kill us, and I knew it would so I quickly began to increase in speed almost hitting 210 KM.

I sped down the road as I didn't care that the light ahead switched from green to red. Instead, I flew into the intersection at high speed, where the crossing lanes' light just turned green.

I calculated that the injuries caused by the car accident were more merciful than falling into the hand of Mr Black after what I have done as I noticed that the car with Mr Black's men kept honking at us as they seemed to be more than one car on the road that belonged to him. I quickly dialled my brother's number on the dashboard before I anticipated our fall.

The sound of metal cutting into metal was deafening.

***********

I opened my eyes to find that we were in a chaotic hospital, Wahaj was wheeled into surgery according to the nurse I asked. A doctor managed to fix my left arm, which was fractured in two places and my leg in three. I have multiple bruising but managed to avoid any broken ribs just like I calculated.

"Do you have any idea what you've done?" Ahmad, my brother, burst out as soon as he arrived at the door. After the call that I made in the car before our accident, he appeared to be furious.

"Yilmaz Hospital's entire survival hinges on Mr Black's influence! He is the only reason we've survived so long going against Diab (The Wolf)! And now, without thinking of the repercussions, you've managed to destroy what I took eight years to build, all because you saved that girl that I told you to leave alone!" He breathed the anger for a moment before he continued, "Kardeş (brother), I don't care what you do or how you do it, either you beg on your knees or apologize and grovel, but you make damn sure that you get Mr Black into our side!"

"Kardeşim (My brother) relax," I advised, "Nothing will happen to us," I said cockily.

"What, How can that be ?" He said in anticipation, "You talked to Mr Black, He forgave your stupid intrusion into his plan."

"No," I said singularly.

"I am confused," He said. "But, I can tell by your face, you are planning something outrageous,"

"Kardeşim, I will marry Wahaj" I announced.

Ahmad's brows furrowed, "Are you crazy ?" as he quickly discarded my idea.

"No, Instead of Mr Black dull idea of kidnapping Wahaj and threatening Diab, Why not join hands with Diab by marrying Wahaj," I explained.

"Are you crazy ?" He rhetorically said again, "You want to join hands with the same man who stole our father's fortune and left our company bankrupt,"

Diab, mostly known as the wolf, used to serve in the military with my father as he saved his life. My father then took him under his wings and taught him everything he knew about the business as he looked at him as his son. However, Diab didn't, and he betrayed my father trust and took all his money and left our family bankrupt.

"After ruining Mr Black's plan, we don't have a choice but that one," I confessed.

"And you ruined his plan because...?!" Ahmad asked, waiting for a rational answer.

"Because if Diab didn't budge and Mr Black killed her, that blood would be on our hands, and I can't take that," I responded sincerely.

"This isn't the first time," Ahmad said.

"But this is the first time, I knew her," I answered, "And most times we would be left out of the corrupt matter but now that I knew her, I couldn't," He replied.

Ahmad began to think of the approach seriously, "But what are you planning to tell Wahaj to accept," He questioned.

"She had just come out of a relationship with a guy that was cheating on her with our sister. Now she wants to marry the janitor of our school, don't you see how desperate she is." I explained, theoretically. As we start working on the plan.

Two Days Later

In hypothesis, everything should have gone as planned, but since this is life and not theory. I get a phone call from the hospital saying that the person that was with me as I signed her as 'Jane-doe' went missing. I quickly go out to check with the hospital and in a couple of hours later that same day, I was kidnapped outside of the same hospital.

"Professor? Professor?" A hand taps my cheek, but its touch is warm.

"Professor. Yilmaz? Can you hear me?" At last, my eyes open and meet Wahaj's black gaze. She seemed worried, frowning and asking me if I'm alright. My eyes dart left and right, but we seem to be alone.

I pried my eyes open, wondering why it was so hard to lift them. Did we got married, and I missed it? My parents would be pissed if I got married without them.

What is this strange room?

Where was I?

I moved slowly, I have been bound with ropes. My wrists were sore, Unlike Wahaj, who didn't seem to be tied.

"Where are we?" I asked as she looked like she was on the verge of crying.

I turned, stumbling my way up, pushing with my feet and semi-successfully ignoring the pain that was left from the car accident as she answered, "All I remember is the car accident, and then I was here,"

"You were moved to the hospital," I tried to remind her. "You went into surgery," I try to refresh her memory but all she gives me is the same face she seems to look at me with when she doesn't understand something in the lecture and try not to ask.

A few seconds later, the large metal door opens. Revealing two men wearing suits. Where were we?

"You are coming with us," One man said in acrimony as he started dragging me off the floor as he removed the robes and put on handcuffs with cuffs on my legs.

Wahaj seemed angst as she started hitting one man to leave me alone, but he wouldn't budge as he was a giant of a man. What I noticed is that he didn't kick her or pushed her away but seemed to not want to harm her. Like he was directed not to.

I was then moved to much offbeat part, to a spacious conference room brimming with activity as the security team were sweeping the room for listening devices and no doubt for explosive devices as well. With security completed, the next wave of action was the administrative staff who went straight to their task of setting the room ready for the meeting.

I knew these actions because they were the same once Mr Black does before a meeting.

With the all-clear given, phone calls were made, and the meeting participants were given the green light to arrive as I was Nervously waiting to meet the person who captured Wahaj and me.
