Maryam's POV
"This is where you will be sleeping till the stupid honeymoon of a thing is over" he said moving closer to me.
"I'll be sleeping here? What about you?" I asked him confused.
He didn't answer my question Instead, he just stood there staring at me with a blank face. At this point, I wish I could read his mind but no, his face and expression was still cold and emotionless.
"We might be married only in the eyes of people and in Islam but in truth and reality, I don't know you and I don't want to get to know you. What happened between us that day was all a mistake, a mistake I'll forever regret, because I got to do that with a gold digger and a slut like you"
A gold digger and a slut?! How dare he call me a slut! When he was actually the man who took my virginity. I wasn't thinking straight when I slapped him so hard on his cheek. Immediately I do, I
Maryam's POV"Well Mr Rude Husband, if I'm uncomfortable.... It would be very nice if you should be uncomfortable too" I said before I finally got up from the the bed.I put on my blue hijab, slippers and walk out of the room."Now, where's his office?" I asked my self in a whisper. Finally, i noticed a door slightly open and a little light penetrating from there. I first peep in and I saw him where he stood in front of a shelf full of books right behind his huge table and chair. He held a book in his hand, flipping through the pages one after the other studying them so intensively. He looks so engross in it. Wait a minute!....was he still putting on his white kaftan since morning? I'm sure that's the cloth.He turned once to look at something on his table before turning his attention back to the book he was going through, and his look was still as cold as ever. He was always cold and he loo
Kareem's POVI went through the document on my table and my eyes were getting heavier, I rubbed them with my hands to reduce the sudden pains that were about to erupt . My neck felt stiff so I straightened it and unknowingly, my eyes shifted to where she laid. She had already fallen asleep. I rolled my eyes as I remembered her words that she would leave once she feel sleepy. All of a sudden she had forgotten her so confident words. I rolled my eyes and focused back on what I was reading."How can a lady snore so much" I asked irritatedly to no one in particular before I angrily shut the book in my hands. I walk to my table and picked up my phone."And she had the gut to talk about her being attractive" I murmured as I walk out from my office and shut the door behind me.Maryam's POVI slowly opened my eyes, I tried to raise my head but I felt a sudden sharp pain on my neck,nevertheless, I stil
Maryam's POVIt's dark already and he still haven't returned yet. Oh Allah! where is Kareem? it's already dark outside. May be he is stuck on the road or probably work, but he would have called and explained. Wow! Like he would do that, there's no any chemistry between us and I don't even know why I'm hoping for something. Very stubborn man! He knows nothing than to always slam door. He doesn't even pity the doors, I'm very sure if those doors could have had mouth, they would have begged him to have pity on them.Now, it's midnight already.... I think, it high time for me to go look for him. Why would I even do that? because, he's your husband and you have the right to know his whereabout. Still thinking about what to do, then I heard a honking of a car "Alhamdulillah" I muttered putting on my hijab. I'll have to ask him why did he come home late but what I saw next really made me speechless.He was drunk.... Drunk? Drun
Maryam's POV**Next Morning **I yawned and open my eyes slowly. I looked around and realize I was in my room, I vividly remember I slept off mistakenly in the kitchen yesterday, so how did I land here? Perhaps, may be Kareem was the one who took me here? No.. No..No it can't be him, he won't even touch me with all what I've said to him yesterday, but no other person would dare touch me except him, I can't help but to giggle as I think of the tingly my body would feel if he was the one who had really brought me here.I look up and saw Kareem figure... Maryam, stop day dreaming! You're definitely crazy in love!I looked up clearer this time around and still saw him standing. "Kareem? What are you doing here?" I asked unsure."Get up, we're leaving now" he told me harshly."Huh?! Leaving? Why?". I asked in a surprise tone. Mom had told me we would take more than two
Maryam's POV***Two month later***Kareem still hasn't change, he still gives me cold attitude but I don't care, I'm not backing out anytime soon, I'll continue to love him with all of my heart, because he has captured my heart.I prepared him his favourite again this morning, which I'm not sure yet if he's going to eat it. I mean, it been 4 months 3weeks of our wedding, and he still hasn't change yet, he doesn't touch my food nor will he eat it. He don't talk to me nor respond no matter how hard I tried to talk to him. I always make sure to wait up for him in the night before going to bed and makes sure to wake up early to prepare his food but still, he won't touch any of my food and its getting frustrating already.I saw him coming down in his navy blue suit, white inner shirt and white shoe."As salamu Alaykum, good morning, I.....I prepare you a food"He move closer to me
Maryam's POV"What am I doing here?". I asked my self immediately I fluttered my eyes open. I remembered vividly that I had locked my self in the bathroom, so how did i end up here on my bed? Could he have brought me here again? No way! he wouldn't dare do that! Who am I kidding, he's the only person who has access to my room, jerk!How did I end up putting on a cloth? Could he have wore this gown for me? I hope he didn't see the horrible mark on my back? What if he sees it, it not like he cares anyways.Last night was the most painful night ever for me. We both kept proving each other our side. Me trying to prove my love for him and him trying to show me that I don't worth him,I'm not the right girl for him. Well Kareem, you won and I lost. He called me a whore which was the most painful word he has ever said to me, not only that but he forced him self on me.Well, why should I insist myself on hi
Maryam's POV"Hey!" I said shyly."Morning beautiful....you look beautiful."Thank you""So, shall we?" he asked opening the passenger door for me."What a gentle man" I uttered."Only for you beautiful" he said winking.Khalid have been driving for the past twenty minutes now and we still haven't reach our destination."Khalid, where exactly are we going to? " i asked but he wink at me instead."Hey! will you stop that. I'm someone else's wife! Are you trying to flirt with me?". I joke but he suddenly step on the car break."Did you just say someone else's wife?! Maryam, how could you call that idiot a husband! He doesn't respect you, nor does he deserves you! And you still consider hi
Maryam's POV"What do you think you're doing?". He scold me right the moment the door was closed.I shoved his hand away from mine. I didn't bother to answer him Instead, I just walked passed him. The least he could do is to assault me.Kareem followed me and grabbed my arm. "Do you know what time it says?" He asked sounding annoyed.I glanced at my wrist watch "it just 8:03pm" I replied back."Yes! it's freaking 8:03pm and you're coming home late by this time? So, this has been what you've been up to, while I was away?"What was the matter with him?"I'm sleepy, can you release me now?" I told him in a calmest voice.Instead, Kareem did the opposite. He tighten his grip on my arm. Why was he always this rough?"Finally" Kareem said out of the blue. "You're now showing your true colour. The girl who has been acting
Kareem turned slowly, expecting to see his wife lying lifelessly on the floor but what happened was the opposite, it wasn't Maryam on the floor but Safeenah,Safeenah lied down with blood hovering all of her body"SAFEENAH!!!! " Kareem screamed as he ran fastly towards where she was lying down,Mansur and the rest also did the same thing while Maryam stood there like a robot,she couldn't move her hand nor her legs "did she just take the bullet for me? Did she just saved me?" Maryam thought"Now Khalid! We need to take her to the hospital, she's still breathing, now!" Kareem said to them,he saw Mansur looking panic too. He wanted to punch him,talk to him,ask him so many questions but now isn't the right time for thatHe stood up and move closer to his wife "are you OK?""Kareem she..she saved me,she did save me" she panicky said"I know""Will she be fine? Nothing must happen to her Kareem""Nothing will happen to her,she's a strong girl,believ
"Why? Why are you lying? Why are you trying to cover up your crimes? I...I saw you...I saw you with my two eyes. It was you Kareem!" Safeenah uttered with shivering voice"Did you see my face?.. Answer me finah, Did you?" Kareem asked waiting patiently for her response"No I didn't " she replied back shaking her head"So how sure were you that I was the one who killed your sister?""Your car. I saw the plate number and when we track it, we find out that it was your car""You're mistaken. I wasn't driving but Mansur was""Mansur took the car to do something urgent that very day. Though I never wanted to give him the car coz even though I was the owner, I never drive. I have a driver who drove me from school to home. We scope my driver that day and that was how he was able to take the car out. When we learnt that he hit your sister,I got furious and scared at the same time. My parent find out and got angry so much,I told him or in fact I begged him
"What are you doing here?" Khalid asked with a glare immediately Mansur barge into the house. Even Kareemah was surprised and so was Mufeedah too"Khalid I'm sorry" he begged not breaking the eye contact with him. He knows he has wrong them,even though it was Kareem he wronged,he couldn't still deny the fact that Khalid was also affected too,they were all friends right from their kids and he ruined everything. Inwardly, Mansur just couldn't stop blaming himself"Just tell me exactly what you're doing here Mansur " Khalid inquired again"I'm here to confess""What confession do you intend to make?" Khalid asked. And in the next seconds he wide out his face in shock "wait a minute....Were you?....were you the one who kidnapped Maryam?""What?! No!...no I wouldn't do something as terrible as that" he replied immediately defending himself"Well you did worse than that years ago" Khalid replied sarcastically"So what then are you here for?
I really can't believe I'm back to Nigeria. Mansur thought as he take a look around for a moment. "Now is the time to mend the wrong deeds of the past Mansur" he told himself with a small sighMansur has been keeping a very deep secret from someone dear to him. He can't cope with the way everything was going on,he has to correct his mistakes. The mistakes he once started without bothering to end. The mistake he thought he will be free from, not knowing that it will only cause hatred between the woman he loved and his friend. He really needs to let Kareem knows about the truth and then he will make sure to find his love and make her hisMansur was about to take a step away from where he was standing when he recalled that he has been a big jerk to Maryam,when he left that very day believing that he was suppose to be angry, later on wards he realised that his heart still belongs to the one and only girl Safeenah. Of all people he was the only person who knew that Safeen

Khalid ask raising one of his eyebrow"Khalid you can't understand " I answered frustratedly"Then make me""It's Maryam""Maryam? What happened to her?" He inquired"Nothing... I mean I'm not sure yet,she called me some minute ago and said she will be here soon. I don't know what happened exactly, but I'm sure this is about my brother""Kareem gosh! What have you done this time around?" Khalid said mor like to himself as he rub his right hand on his face annoyingly"Khalid I'm becoming to get scared already...what if something bad has happened to her? She's not here yet!""Calm down my love,I'm sure something reasonable is holding her up, she will be here soon" Khalid assured me as he excuse him self to make a callFive minute later he came back and his eyes hold a guilty gaze "what happened?" I asked"I think we

She came out and the moment her face came in contact with us most especially my husband, you could see the hatred clearly written on her faceI told Kareem about what she told me few weeks ago and Kareem was so surprised but we decide to confront her and hear the truth from her today, to know the reason why she hate my husband so much"Look who we have here" she mockingly said"The beast and the queen of the beast" she smirkIt is clearly seen on her face that she didn't regret all her actions"What has come over you Safeenah?
