《The Billionaire in Love》Chapter 7
Advertisement
I woke up with the ringing of my phone that was near my ear.
Damn I had forgotten to leave it somewhere that was not near my body.
I flinched at the sound of it.
I got up and picked up my phone
"Hello, Arshad Khan speaking" I said in a sleepy voice.
"Mr. Arshad Khan, if you are done sleeping...... GET YOUR SELF DOWN FOR PRAYERS!" said the voice
I recognised to be...... hers..
I opened my eyes. WIDE.
"Who gave you my number?!?" I asked her.
"Am... ah.... just come down to prayers!" she said
"Is this your number?" I asked curious to know... not that I needed it but.... so..... forget it..
"No!" she snapped back.
"Ok... " I said not wanting to hang up.... why? no idea!!
"Okay... then come now! Allah Hafiz" she said and hung up.
I got up and went into my shower.
After that I got dressed and down for prayers.
************
Soon after Fajr prayer (morning prayer) my whole family set and discussed the upcoming Azma and Adnaan wedding.
I didn't get to see Ahaya, not that I wanted to, as she was in the kitchen with the women and girls.
"So what do you think, Arshad?" asked bade Abba.
My head snapped back on the discussion.
"Ah what?" I asked. This is gonna be..... long.....
"Why are you lost?" asked Haan.
Curse his intelligence! No wander he is in the CBI
"I am not... I was just thinking" I replied covering up for that lost thing..
"About what?" asked Haan.
Damn, is he like questioning me!?!!
Well, what ya think!?!! said my inner voice.
"Ah.... am... about the wedding?' I said more like a question.
"Oh..." He replied
Then the discussion continued.

I sneaked a glance at the kitchen door and this time made sure I was not lost in the conversation.
Then finally, getting me away from the discussion, my phone rang.
"Ah excuse me" I said as I got up and walked up to my room.
On my way, I glanced in the kitchen window and saw Ahaya looking out of the door.
She seemed to be searching for something.
I smiled at her childishness. I stood there looking at her.
I was so mesmerised at her that I had forgotten that I had a call to attend.
I smiled and then headed to my room to take the call.
Damn how mush she meant to me!
Woah there! Where did that thought come from!?!!!
I shook my head as I entered my room.

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.
