" Yeah.... I will give more information , just please don't call me again " I threw the phone on the bed , grabbing my lotion I sat on my bed , applying moisturizer on my leg .

I couldn't believe that the girl I trouble so much save my life , I don't if she hadn't come on time what would have happened .

I know Khalid has send her to basement as punishment . I wanted to tell Khalid the truth but I was scared that if he knew the truth then he will start sympathizing with her and I will lose him forever .

But was he really mine ??

Do I really love him ??

Amira save my life , the only thing swirling in my mind like a broken record .

For the first time in my life , I am feeling like I am a bad person .

Her one kind act making me doubt my whole life .

How come she had such a strength to do good to someone who did nothing but made her life horrible .

I am her husband's girlfriend …. I know she doesn't like me but her action prove she didn't hate me either but she should have , it would have been much easier for me .

I bite my lips trying to shrugged the thought of telling Khalid the truth .

No I will not it's my chance to get closer to Khalid . I have come here for reason if I back out . I won't come out alive , I need to kill my humanity to save myself .

I smirk ….

Yes … poor Amira but I do feel bad .

But I need to save myself first .

I was applying lotion in my hand when I heard a knock .

I glance at the clock , it's so late I grin it must be Khalid , quickly I run to open the door .

I smile seductively , "missed me baby " I said in a sexy voice .

He smirks but in a blink he grab my neck entering inside slamming me to the nearest wall .

" Khal- kha- lid" I choked trying to remove his hand .

" " didn't I warn you to stay away from Amira " His voice was dangerously low .

" I - I don't " I tried to push him , I was getting out of breath I felt I would die any second .

" Le- let me- go- please" I struggled to get his hand off .

His flaming eyes filled with fury " I will punish the guy who tried to touch you without your consent but if you ever tried to plot against Amira I will snap your neck in a blink " the moment he removed his hand I dropped on the floor gasping for breath .

I thought I would die , my vision got blurry , suddenly he knelt down grabbing my jaw between his hands .

" I just showed you a teaser tonight if you ever come close to Amira again -'' I gulp , he didn't complete his sentence because I knew what he meant . I quickly nodded in obedience .

He released my face with a jerk , He stood up , I sigh in relief but his next word made me want to pull my hair in anger .

" Tomorrow onwards you will work here as a maid " he looks around the room and stays in servant quarters " he ordered me to leave my room .

I felt rage build inside , I wanted to ruin everything , everyone " Aaaaaaaaaaaaa...." I scream, grabbing my hair in anger .

Khalid Mirza p.o.v

I came inside my room , her clothes have changed but she is still sleeping .

I walked and sat on the edge of bed beside her , her tear stained face pulling strings of my once dead heart .

I have no idea why I am caring about this stupid girl so much .

" Maybe I am just feeling guilty " I mumbled, brushing my thumb on her cheeks softly .

But when did you start feeling guilty ???? My subconscious mocks me .

I quickly retreated my hand back , I stood up walking to the other side I grabbed my pillow , I went to sleep on the couch .

Amira Sultan p.o.v

I snuggle into my blanket smiling " it's so soft " I mumbled still with closed eyes .

I jerk up glaring at the pillow " Hey! This is not my bed "

I look around the room " Hey ! This is not my room " then memories flooded in my brain , I was in the basement starving for two days .

Khalidl ....I thought bitterly .

Suddenly my vision got blurry , after so many years I felt the same suffocation , same pain again and all thanks to my husband .

He is a real devil .

I wipe my tears harshly " I hate him"

" I hate him "

" I hate him "

" I hate him " I chanted like a mantra .

Suddenly the door burst open revealing Ibrahim , Sayra and Amir, his eyes fell on me .

" Ophm..." He engulfed me in a bear crushing hug .

" Thank God you are okay " he mumbled, still hugging tightly.

" C- can't bre- breath " I said .

" Oh I am so sorry " he quickly breaks our hug .

" You idiot I just went for three days and you made your way to the basement " he flicked my head .

I gasp in surprise " did you just flick me " I flick him back

" Ouch " he flicked me again and we started fighting like kids .

Even though he is kid , I am not .

" Ami- ra are you okay " Sayra struggle to get up .

My heart overwhelmed at her innocent voice , I quickly help her to get up .

" Are you sick " she caress my cheeks softly .

I narrowed my eyes when Amir whispered something in his ear but I heard it " no idiot , she is angel "

" Angel don't get sick " he said in hush tone .

I couldn't help but laugh whole heartedly . These kid are so cute .

I just love them .

" What have you done so bad that it's irk Khalid so bad than he had to throw you in the basement " Ibrahim cross his arm like big guy .

Even though he is just 12 year old kid , he act so mature according to his age .

" Leave that "

" Were you worried for me " I wiggle my eyebrows teasingly .

" Oh please " he wave his hand in dismissed .

" Sayra was crying " he tried to make excuses .

" I was worried for my sister " he look at her sister in a disappointed way .

Amir came closer near my ear " he is lying"

" He was worried about you " he added .

Sayra nodded innocently .

I press my lips preventing myself from smiling while Ibrahim fume at his siblings .

" Didn't I told you to keep quite " he raise his voice while they hug me .

" What magic you have done on them " he look annoyed .

" Magic of love " I said in hush tone dramatically .

" Oh please you just -"

" Enough...." We both stopped at the voice Nafisa who was holding a tray filled with food .

And just my luck , my stomach grumbled , Ibrahim snicker .

" What I haven't eaten for two days " I tried to hide my embarrassment.

His eyes softened " I am so sorry " he stood up letting Nafisa take his place .

" How are you feeling? " Nafisa took a full spoon of cereal stuffing in my mouth .

I close my eyes feeling relief , the physical pain you endure when you haven't eaten anything it's horrible and painful . I had a habit of surviving without food for one time like lunch or dinner when my step mom forbade me to eat anything but two days in that damn cell that will be my forever nightmare .

" Allumdulliah " I took the test from her hand, keeping it on my lap as I started eating like I haven't eaten in ages .

There was egg , fruits , bread roll and my favourite orange juice .

" I am so sorry Amira , I should have stopped bhai " Nafisa sounded upset while her eyes filled with guilt .

I smiled sadly " it's okay , it's not your fault anyway , No one can go against that devil " I said bitterly .

He is nothing but a heartless and cruel man .

" Devil ?" Ibrahim chuckled, raising his one eyebrow .

" Yes , a very arrogant , rude , cruel De-"

" Ahem " my words stop in my mouth .

My heart pound inside my chest , I can feel him digging whole in my skull with his famous glare . I refuse to look at his way .

" Good morning uncle " Ibrahim acknowledged him with a nod in respect .

I furrowed my eyebrows , he never did that for me .

" Bhai , what are you doing here ?" Nafisa stood up , I continued to stuff my mouth with food .

If he heard me and if I am dying , I would rather die with a full stomach .

" Last time I checked it's my room " He said in a mocking tone .

" I just came to give breakfast to Amira. "

" Since she was starving for two days " Nafisa taunts him .

I smirk mentally way to go my friend .

" Leave " he ordered .

Without any word , everyone left .

Wow... This man's one word held so much power.

Pathetic....

I sip my juice looking down , I feel the bed dip .

" How are you feeling? " His tone was soft, not the one he used just before it almost made me want to answer him .

I avoid biting an apple .

" Do you need anything "

No response

" Did you sleep well "

No response

I heard him taking a deep breath , he is losing it GOOD !

" look Myra won't bother you anymore and " he pause .

" Is she okay " I remember what the guy did to her .

" that guy in the dinner , he won't be able to become a father in the future I made sure of that ''

" And you don't need to worry about Myra , she intentionally kept it hidden what happened that night knowing very well what you are going through don't pity her "

My head snapped at him , our eyes made contact , his green eyes filled with guilt , his eyes were red. It looked like he hadn't slept the whole night .

I bite my cheek , I don't want to talk to him even if I want too .

I continue to eat my food " Come on just forget about it alright " he sounds irritated now .

" First say sorry " I held my poker face high .

He squinted his eyes " What! sorry me ? Khalid Mirza "

I narrowed my eyes " yes ! You "

" That's absurd '' he stood up in disbelief .

I clench my fist " You just have to say I'm sorry ''. I teach him like he is a child.

" Don't behave like a brat, " he said strictly .

I put the tray down " the only person behaving like a brat is YOU " I raise my voice.

" AMIRA!"

" Don't Amira me " I point finger , he looked taken aback . " I was scared damnit , I was scared, lost , alone , you brought all those horrible memories in my head , which I am trying to hide all these years , I haven't done anything wrong yet you threw me on that terrible cell , you didn't even hear me out once " my voice tremble out of my control thinking about those two days filling my chest with overwhelming pain .

I know it's not a big deal for him to punish someone , kill someone , or kidnap someone but it was a big deal for me . I felt like I was going to die .

" On top of that your so called girlfriend forced me to come downstairs in your name ,your guest humiliated me In Front of everyone , accused me that I am greedy , your guest drag my dead parent in the argument " suddenly my eyesight got blurry " you should just kill me now " I barely whispered the last sentence .

Instantly the he pulled me by my hand into his hard chest , he wrapped his hand around my waist holding me firmly in his chest .

I froze, I absolutely froze in my spot , I felt I forgot to breathe , I couldn't push him , so I couldn't move. All I could do was listen to his heartbeat .

Oh no

Oh no

Khalid is hugging me ???

KHALID MIRZA IS HUGGING ME !!!

" Khalid " I barely whispered , he didn't release , he didn't remove his hand away from my waist , all my anger , pain , fear replaced by a thousand butterflies roaming inside my stomach WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!

" Khalid " I called out again , I took his name again , it felt so weird on my tongue " please let me go " my voice was as quiet as a mouse .

Khalid Mirza P.O.V

Lost , scared , alone.

These words were the identity of my life for so long , this feeling brought so many horrible memories of my life , she reminded me of the day I lost everything I felt was lost , scared , alone .

I made her feel this way , it's all my fault I didn't think once before pulling her in my arms. The moment her head hit my chest I forgot everything. I forgot all the horrible memories , pain , all I thought about how perfectly she fits into my arm , like she belongs here .

" Khalid ?" Her soft angelic voice rang near my ear , it felt weird and good the way my name rolled out of her tongue. It made my heart skip a beat .

My eyes flew open , what the hell I am doing I quickly pushed her not harsly .

Her eyes staring at me in confusion " I- I have to go " I basically ran out of the room .

Amira Sultan p.o.v

" Okay, did he just run away ?"

" What the hell is wrong with this manl? " I mumble as I sit on the bed , put the tray on my lap and continue eating even though my heart still has not stabilized properly with the intimate moment I just shared with my husband .

It's been three days since our little hug moment. He just disappeared after that , didn't come once to meet me .

" Chivalry is dead in men " I mutter annoyed .

I made my way to the kitchen " hey Myhira " I greeted with a smile .

She glares " it's Myra" and she bares her teeth .

I press my lips so I don't laugh , she looks like a complete mess, sauces are smeared on her fashionable clothes , her once perfect hairs are all over the places , her cheek stained with oil , poor soul. I heard that she got demoted from Khalid's girlfriend to the new maid of this house .

My eyes got bigger " oh no don't op-" before I could stop her , she tried to reach the flour packet which was kept in the upper cabinet .

" WHAT THE HELL " she shouted at the top of her lungs as all the flour fell on her making her resemble a horror movie nun .

" Amira did you - AAAHHHHH" I close my ear while Nafisa screams like a high pitched girl even Myra jumps in fear.

" GHOST! GHOST! Nafisa yells dramatically, picking up a big spoon in self defense .

Okay that's it I burst into laughter , so laugh so hard " oh- my - oh my God " I wipe my tears from the corner .

" Shut up ! I am not a ghost you idiot " she raised her voice .

"Myra, is that you ?" Nafisa look at her unsure .

" Yes it's me, " her voice cracked. Oh no, is she crying?

" Were you trying to give us a heart attack? " She put hand on her chest.

My eyes widened as she started crying loudly , Nafisa and I exchanged looks .

" Myra " Nafisa walked toward her to console " if your foundation was finished , you should have told me " she wrap her hand around her shoulder " you don't need to put flour on your face to look beautiful " she pull her cheeks " by the way , you look horrible "

" Nafisa!" I said in a scolding tone but my lip betrayed me .

Myra gasps in horror " NO I DON'T " She shrieks trying to find a mirror .

" Oh. No you don't , sweetheart I was just kidding " Nafisa said with all seriousness " if you go for audition , you will definitely get the part of the main character "

Myra's face lights up " really ! Which movie "

" The nun " Nafisa held her poker face .

" Nun??" She lowered her white eyebrows in confusion .

" Who is she ?"

Nafisa lips twitched " she is a " there was a dramatic pause " Ghost " Myra pushed her in anger , while we both burst into laughter .

" I will see both of you " she threatened both of us .

" Why are we seven wonders that you will see us? " She replied sarcastically, flipping her hair .

" Arrghh " she growls , leaving us both laughing .

It's been a month since I saw Khalid , he went to some business trip not even having decency to tell his wife not that we have that kind of relationship like husband and wife but THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT I AM HIS WIFE !!!!

I was mad at him , that day he showed concern , hugged me then punished Myra for hurting me then left like I mean nothing ??? I thought at least we will be civil with each other now . Is that so much to ask for and you know why I care . He doesn't consider me as his wife . He wanted to marry Zainab because she is his type , I am not . It's pretty much clear that he doesn't like me , he is embarrassed by me . But then again I am doing this to please Allah s.w.t not for anyone else .

I can beautify myself for my husband but he himself confess , he loves a girl like me .

Sigh ….

Folding my prayer mat , I placed it in the right place . I switch off the air conditioner and open the windows for fresh air .

I was standing in front of the window staring at the moon like always when I heard a knock .

I whine , I feel so lazy even to open the door but I did anyway only to clench my teeth in anger .

Khalid stood there looking dashing as always , he was all dressed up . I don't understand why he always dresses up like this , even if he stays in the house .

Doesn't he feel uncomfortable ??

I cross my arm while throwing daggers from my eyes. Well, he deserves much more than that .

" Yes sir, how may I help you? " I said in seekly sweet voice .

He was surprised then looked away muttering something which I didn't hear .

" Ummmmmm I just came to ask you how are you ?" The nerve of this guy after disappearing for one month without telling me .

Now he is coming here , asking me how serious I am.

I wish I could throw something at his face right now .

As he sensed the heat radiating off me , he shut his mouth staring at me .

" Look I know you are-" I didn't give a chance to speak , I longed forward and shut the door, cutting his voice .

I smile satisfied but then I heard him curse

Astagfirullah

He started banging the door " open the damn door " he snarled behind the door , I could feel his anger through the door .

I gulp …

Did I overdo it ??

" Don't force me to break the door Amira .."

" OPEN THE DAMN DOOR " his banging got so loud that it started scaring me .

Before I could open it , the door knob broke letting the door fly open .

I gasp covering my mouth " what have you done "

I glared at him " you broke my poor door "

" Now you will fix it " I pointed my index finger at him .

Khalid who was already fuming in anger advanced toward my way , I stepped back, retreating my index finger as well .

" Ok- ay fine if you don't want to fix it '' I shutter while smiling in fear .

" I will d- oow - do it " my back touches the wall , while he steps closer lessening the space between us .

He clutched my both arms tightly " don't you dare to do that with me ever again " his face was inch away from mine , while his eyes looked like a blazing fire .

I glup staying silent " I am not your friend or family that you could treat me like that do you get it " his voice filled with venom than pierced my heart like thousand of needles .

I wanted to combat but I couldn't " maybe this is the reason , your family doesn't love you , your own father didn't once call to check up on you , may be they just don't want you just like me "

" How they even tolerated you all these years was beyond me . I would have never married you , you are cursed to me " his words hit like thousands of rocks hitting my body painfully , my eyes widened as he just pulled some strings of my past.
