Manizeh was going toward the kitchen when she heard the screaming as her Mamo and Farhan were in a heated argument while Raheela was trying to calm them down.

She frowned but turned toward the kitchen as she didn't want to interfere in their family matter.

But when she heard her name she got curious and hides behind the wall listening to the conversation.

But Halim baigh next words shook her to the core.

"Why do you do this Farhan? How stupid can you be to destroy my 20 years of hard work? I told you to let her be... I have everything under control here. I would have Fariha to sign the factory under my name but you have to go and do this,"

Halim baigh was angry at his son's behavior his impatience can cost his more than he wants.

Manizeh was shocked at his words; she gasped but closed her mouth with one hand so she won't alert them.

"What do you want me to do? Huh... You want me to wait and let her go. Well, that to me sounds pathetic because Baba I won't let Manizeh or her property go to waste. She has fallen in love with that bastard... I have seen them together and it's the best way to get her back,"

Farhan screamed agitated and Manizeh was dumbstruck at her place.

How can the people she considered family does this to her? She was feeling nauseous as tears were filling her eyes.

"I wouldn't have let do that, you idiot... She loved her mother so much to abandon her. And stop with this absurd obsession of your Farhan... She was married to Taimoor and he will never let her go. You are a fool to send him divorce papers with her fake signature thinking that he will give up easily," Halim baigh spoke irritated.

His son was being irrational and this was boiling his blood.

Manizeh looked wide eyes and agape mouth at them as the word divorce registered in her mind.

Did they send him a divorce paper on her behalf? No, she won't let that happen, no one can separate her from her Mir, she thought.

"Well, then I won't let him have her. She was supposed to be mine... But that bastard Mir Burhan Khan has to marry her off to his grandson. I told you, Baba... I won't let him have her and that property was mine. I didn't work all this year to be left empty-handed," he spoke agitatedly.

Now tears were flowing down Manizeh cheeks, she was broken as she saw the true selves of her Mamo family.

She has always considered Halim baigh and Farhan her family but this broke her beyond the limit.

But this was not the end, more truths have to be revealed.

"Raheela... Apne bety ko samjahao. He had gone crazy... Why do you think I have to do all this? Huh... Why do you think I burn Khawar factory years ago? Why do you think I have planned Mir Burhan Khan's murder?"

He spoke venomously as he looked toward his family unaware of the fact that his beloved niece who loved her Agha Jaan to death was listening to his rambling and the words made the ground slip under her feet as she stumbled.

Manizeh didn't know what to do and how to control herself from crying and screaming.

But Halim baigh continued speaking and each word broke her more and more.

"Why do you think I killed Mir Burhan Khan? But Khawar was also with him that day. I didn't know that... I didn't want to kill him just his nosey father. Mir Burhan Khan has started to get suspicious of me stealing from his son. That old man was very clever but Khawar has to die with him, as he didn't want to leave his Agha Jaan alone. Stupid man... He left his company to me but never get suspicious but his Agha Jaan did and he died making the poor Khawar a casualty," he spoke politely with an evil glint in his eyes.

Manizeh just stands there listening to everything.

"Why do you think I provoked Fariha to come and live here. Everything she did in all these years was planned by me. I feed her already jumbled mind with scenarios where the Khan family will take her only child away from her. And my innocent sister does whatever I told her. She came here to live with Manizeh but I told her that she has to be strict with Manizeh and she did everything like a good puppet. I want Manizeh to be dependent on us and she did just like her mother,"

he laughed an evil laugh enjoying every moment of his mastermind game. Manizeh wanted to confront them but she wanted to listen more.

This vile family has stolen so much from her but they will pay, she will make sure that they do.

"Why do you think I let Manizeh stay there? Because I wanted her to gain their love and trust and then I will sow the same seed of mistrust in her heart that I sow in Fariha years ago but my stupid son has to do everything on his own and ruin my plan," he said angrily.

Farhan scowled at his father and opened his mouth but Halim baigh shut him up.

"Shut up... Don't speak another word. Why do you think I have started giving Fariha arsenic the moment Manizeh left. I would have made them sign the property on my name after Manizeh came back divorced. As Mir Taimoor Khan was just like his grandfather clever and brave but when the relationship was broken and he won't want to do anything with her as she broke his trust ...then you would have had her and I would have my money... But no you have to destroy everything,"

he screamed at his son who was equally angry but keep his mouth close.

Manizeh got another shock when he heard Halim baigh giving Fariha arsenic, a slow poison.

She was so shocked and overwhelmed with every revelation that the lunch tray in her hand dropped down.

She gasped and looked upward with a tear-stained face at the three shocked faces.

Halim baigh knew that his niece heard everything and that made him angrier at his son. Manizeh ran toward his mother's room without looking back.

She entered the room and looked it moving toward Fariha telling her to get up that they have to go from here.

"Mama get up, please... We hav...have to go from ... he...here. please Mama they will kill us,"

Manizeh picked her phone up to call her Mir. She knew he was angry but the moment he knew she was in danger he will come running.

She dialed his number praying that he will pick up and the said divorce papers had not reached him.

The whole baigh family was still astonished by Manizeh sudden appearance.

They knew now they are doomed, Mir Taimoor Khan will kill them if Manizeh told him anything.

Halim baigh turned toward his son who was standing like a statue and barked in anger.

"What the hell are you doing here standing? You are waiting for her to contact someone. Stop her you moron or I will kill you before Mir Taimoor Khan get a chance to do it,"

Farhan got out of his trance and Taimoor's name angered him more. He ran toward the Fariha room where he knew Manizeh was.

He pushed the door but it was locked so he started banging and shouting at Manizeh to open the door.

"Open the door Manizeh... We won't hurt you. Just stop being stubborn damnit... Open this door now Manizeh,"

Halim baigh and Raheela beghum has also joined them anxiously waiting for the door to be opened.

....

Mir Taimoor Khan was miserable after Manizeh departure. He has restricted everyone to not contact her or pick her call.

He had received a signed divorce paper one day after she left and that broke him completely.

He was snapping at everyone and always sulking.

This was the effect Manizeh absence has in his life, he was devastated. He was sitting in his office chair staring at the files but his mind was not working.

He hasn't slept a wink since the day she was gone.

He kept his interactions minimum, his family was not different than him.

The whole house was silent and deserted. Shazir was sad and Dadi Janam was either crying or praying.

He sighed in defeat throwing the file away and picking up the paper that took his sleep away.

He caressed her signature and a lone tear escapes his eyes.

He has done everything in his power to made her realized that he has loved her more than life but alas he was not successful in that.

He has lost all hope now, he didn't sign the paper yet but he didn't know for how long he will be able to stall this.

He was leaning on his chair when his phone rings, he frowned but when he saw Manizeh name he was angry. Did she call to ask him to sign a paper? He thought.

His heart pained and broke at the thought. He shook his head, he can't take more pain. What will he do if he heard her say the words so he cut the call and switches his phone off.

"I won't pick your call Manizeh... I won't fulfill your demand... I will never let you go,"

He throw his phone at the desk and lean against his chair as a lone tear escapes his eyes.

He was more heartbroken than angry so he let himself cry behind the close door where he didn't have to act like a strong Mir Taimoor Khan.

Manizeh was hysterically calling Taimoor when she heard Farhan's voice and his order to open the door, she didn't listen to him calling her Mir but he didn't pick her call.

She cursed herself for not letting him come with her. The banging on the door got louder and Manizeh heart was beating frantically.

She moved toward Fariha holding her hand wanting all her support.

Manizeh again dialed the call but this time his number was switched off, a sob left her mouth when suddenly the door broke down and Farhan came inside like a raging bull.

He snatched the phone from Manizeh hand and throw it away, while he slapped her hard.

Manizeh fell beside Fariha's feet who was still under medicine effect but she pushed Farhan who tried to approach her daughter.

Everyone was shocked at the Fariha act but she was looking at her daughter worried but soon Farhan pushed her toward his parents who hold her tight.

He moved toward Manizeh who was dazed by the slap but when he holds her hair pulling her up she screamed in agony.

Fariha was struggling in their hold trying to reach her only child but her weak body was not helping her.

"You wanted to call him Manizeh... Huh. But you won't... I am taking her with me to the warehouse... You handle Phupho. I will handle this spitfire... I will never let you go to him Manizeh," he spoke evilly.

Manizeh shook her head but he was holding her tightly as her face was already bruising.

She was screaming at him but he was not listening to her and keep dragging her out.

Fariha tried to break free but Halim baigh injected her and she fell limb in their arms.

He picked her up and placed her at the bed of Manizeh old room as Farhan has to break the door of her room.

They locked the door and goes downstairs where Farhan was struggling with Manizeh.

"Let me go... I said let me go you jerk... You are a murderer. You all are... You killed them. I will tell everyone and you will pay for every vile thing you did,"

she screamed at them who was looking ineffective of her yelling.

Farhan laughed at her that stopped her screaming but what scared her was the gun he pulled from his back and was pointing at her.

"You will tell everyone about us Manizeh... Huh. But for that, you have to go out and I won't let that happen. I will kill you before you open that pretty little mouth of your fairy,"

he mocked her but she only felt nauseous.

Only her Mir can call her fairy, she pushed him away but every attempt was futile.

How can she be so stupid to trust these people, she thought.

But Manizeh Khan won't back down with a fight so she pushed him and tried to ran but he snaked an arm around her waist and slammed the gun barrel to her head.

Manizeh screamed at the sudden attack and soon she was limbed in his hands.

"I will take her before she wakes up and causes more drama. You take care of Phupho,"

he spoke as he picked her up and moved toward the door but Halim baigh called him.

"Don't do something to her Farhan. Don't hurt her... She was still dear to me. Just don't let her out... Otherwise, we are all dead,"

Farhan scoffed at his father and turned toward him.

"Like you care for her Baba... After everything you did, I don't think you have humanity so stop this acting. I won't kill her just keeping her hidden till the property was mine and he divorced her. I know you are afraid of Mir Taimoor Khan wrath... But don't worry he wouldn't know anything,"

He goes outside leaving his parents guilty but they knew after all this they can't back down now when their aim was so close.

But they didn't know that when the lion was wounded it won't spare anyone to protect his family and an angry lion was coming for them soon enough.

....

Fariha woke up in the morning, she was still under the drug effect but she wanted to find Manizeh.

She may not hear everything but the way her brother and his family behaved yesterday she knew that her daughter was in danger.

She placed her dupatta on her head and with wobbly legs, she moved toward the door.

She tried to open the door but it was not bugging.

She kept pulling it wasting all her strength. She placed her ear close to the door but heard nothing.

She leaned against the door in defeat when she remembered that Manizeh always kept an extra key of her room in her jewelry box as she has many times locked herself inside.

She quickly with as much strength she has moved toward the box and after searching, she finally found the key.

She holds the key close to her heart and stumbles to the door.

She opened the door and walk downstairs, as she was moving down she heard the TV sound and got alerted.

She saw from behind the wall that Raheela beghum was watching TV, her blood boiled. Probably waiting for her son to drop her off at another party as her bag was placed on the table.

How can they behave normally after doing this with them, she wiped her tears and picked the vase placed on the table.

She moved behind the sofa but Raheela beghum turned around sensing someone's presence, Fariha thinks quickly and hit her with the vase.

The screaming was so loud but soon Raheela beghum fainted.

Fariha took a shaky breath and checked her pulse, finding a sound beat she snatched the bag place on the table and moved outside.

She knew who can save her daughter and she will do anything to protect her Manizeh. With that thought, she started her journey.

....

Taimoor was tense the whole night, he knew he can't live without her so why he didn't listen to her last night.

Why he let his insecurities got the best of him but his family played an important role in all this realization.

He came downstairs after getting ready to go to the office even if he was late but when he saw his family in the living room instead of eating lunch on the table he frowned.

He moved toward them when his sister who came after knowing everything, was holding an off-white embroidered dupatta similar to the one Manizeh wear at the mehndi function.

He knew his family was up to something.

"Lala... See this is beautiful na... I am selecting this for Bhabhi but Shazir was being rude again,"

He scrunched his nose confusion clear on his face and his family looked at him in anticipation.

"What is happening here? Why are you all looking at clothes in this early morning? And for which Bhabhi you are doing this all Mansha?" he asked them who was still busy in their work.

He coughed to get their attention and raised his eyebrows to which his mother bless him with an answer but let's say he got dumbstruck by it.

"We are selecting clothes for our new daughter in law. You are going to leave Manizeh and it's ok. It's your life you can do anything but we don't want you to spend your whole life alone so we are soon going to get you married again. Manizeh was gone so what will it do to wait for her,"

Shaheen beghum shrugged her shoulders as she speaks and he was shocked at his family.

How can they think about this rubbish? He loves his Fairy so much to do this to her or himself.

He shook his head and speak irritatedly.

"Why are you people doing this? I am not going to marry someone else. How can you think about this? I will never leave my wife and marry someone else,"

"But she left you Taimoor she didn't love you. I think you should also divorce her and move on,"

this time Dadi Janam bombarded him with her words and he was looking at her like she killed his puppy.
