I have been arranged to marry my cousin. In the Kassem family, all is fair in the process of acquiring wealth and fame, even at the expense of their children's happiness. Haidar and Hayfa are forced into a marriage they both oppose to in other to boost the family's wealth, fame and status. Haidar being a person who had gotten accustom to parading a facade of being cold and ruthless like the 'Kassems' were expected to be soon found that he would fall apart sooner or later, but on meeting the meek and completely submissive Haifa he begins to piece himself back together slowly. However, their lives take a drastic and dark turn which leads to series of scandals and the reveal of long buried secrets.

“What game are you trying to play, Haidar? I watched you throw that cold attitude at Hayfa throughout the evening”. My mother hissed. “What would you rather have me do? Pretend to be something I’m not?”. I asked her.“Don’t talk to your mother like that, Haidar”. Father chastised. I shook my head, I wasn’t exactly pleased at the moment.“No, it’s you who shouldn’t talk to me like this, both of you”. I said to them. “I believe we owe each other some level of respect seeing that I’m not a kid anymore”. “I beg your pardon”. Father said. I pried my gaze from my laptop screen and met his.“Just because I choose to avoid a scandal and get married to Hayfa doesn’t mean I can’t do what I want”. I said to him and his expression hardened. “We’re getting married in a week’s time, I beg of you to let me be till then”. He made to say something but I shook my head.“Don’t lecture me about my attitude, don’t talk to me about the party, don’t talk to me about the wedding, and don’t talk to m

It wasn’t long before we got to a table set for two; Aunt Sa’adiya smiled sweetly at me as she gestured at the seats.“There there, have a seat”. She said to me.“Thank you”. I said once more as Haidar held my seat out for me. He waited for me to settle down before he made his way around the table and sat down as well.“I’ll leave you two to talk”. Aunt Sa’adiya said. She offered me another smile before walking away confidently. The space in which we were seat seemed private, it was secluded from the rest of the hall and the lights here were dimmed considerably, I was thankful for that, that way he wouldn’t see how flushed she was. An awkward silence stretched between us for what seemed to be a lifetime, and I felt even fainter with every passing second, I felt my guts clench and I felt nauseous. I squirmed uncomfortably, I could no longer hide my restlessness, I felt as though I would pass out anytime soon. He seemed to notice and he let out a subtle sigh before saying:“Good eve

She stood there bathed in the soft golden hue of the limelight, she was dressed in a long red gown, the smooth fabric glistened ever so slightly as it absorbed the lights causing her to look almost ethereal. My gaze raked over her form slowly, from her shoes to her dress; how it fitted her perfectly, how the snug sleeves trailed down her hands, her face; the delicate features, from her wide almond shaped eyes to the soft curve of her nose, to her lips; small but full. And the golden veil wrapped loosely around her hair, she was…..beautiful.She was beautiful but I could see feel the nervousness oozing off her from where I stood, I could see the uncertainty in her eyes as she begun descending the stairs slowly, the quiet sounds of her heels clacking against the tiled steps were all that could be heard as the hall had hushed completely. I recalled what Aunt Atina had said and I began making my way towards the staircase. ‘Do you think her dress is a Versace?’. ‘Look at those shoes….’.

And as I stepped into the elegantly decorated hall a hush travelled around; it wasn’t something I wasn’t used to, so I ignored the staring eyes and scanned the place in search of my parents. I sighted them standing by the drinks stand with her parents, their cold gazes found mine and I cast them all a defiant look, I wasn’t sorry, I wanted them to know that. Our glare-off came to an end when my cousins suddenly crowded me, each one saying something different at once, and before I could say a word I felt a sharp pain on my arm caused by a pinch Sunaina had delivered, knowing how aggressive my cousins could be, I backed away from them. Low-key aggressive, yes, but aggressive nonetheless. “What took you so long, jerk?”. Sunaina hissed under her breath. I merely smiled at her as I regarded her wearily, her smooth face foundation tempting me. I reached for her nose subtly but she backed away waving her hands. “You’ll ruin my make-up”. She shrieked. That was the plan of course, but sh

HAYFA’S POV Today’s the party, everything’s set, and my dress fits perfectly. Mother took her time and did my makeup herself, she kept talking about Haidar and I was almost dizzy and nauseous from anxiety. Every step I took down the stairs which lead into the event hall felt like torture, every breath I took sort to choke me, my body trembled so bad I feared I would faint. The lights soon went dim and my heart almost leapt out of my chest when the limelight suddenly came on and settled upon me, silence traveled all over the hall like wind would, the only sound that could be heard were the clacking sounds of my heels against the marble floors. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, it felt as though I would melt under their scrutiny. My eyes darted around in search of nothing in particular, I didn’t know what I sort to find but as my gaze landed on a familiar face everything seemed to come a halt. ~~ HAIDAR’S POV I glanced at my phone when it beeped for the hundredth time, I had re

HAYFA’S POV I rushed upstairs to my room, pushed the door open and walked in before I shut the rest of the world behind me. I rushed to my bed and collapsed on it, it was only then that I let the stinging tears streak down my cheeks. Painful sobs choked me and at that moment I felt like I would die. I shuddered at the thought of having to get married from someone who had the cursed Kassem blood running through his veins. I cursed the day I was born. I found myself wishing I could simply disappear, I wished I could run away and never look back, I wished things were different. Mother had invited all the family members and friends to my graduation party, even business associates would be there yet not a single soul from school was invited, none at all. They just needed an excuse to throw an extravagant party as the trailer before the real thing happened; the wedding. It hurt to know that I was just a pawn in their game, and I could do nothing but play along , I could do nothing bu

HAIDAR’S POV Zarah laughed. “Oh Hussein, you have a problem”. She drawled. “Alright alright”. He said raising his hand in surrender. “Well Haidar, we’ll leave now”. I nodded. “Thanks for dropping by”. I said as I made my way around the table. “Yup”. Zarah replied. Not much was said as I saw them off, I left orders with my secretary telling her I wanted no one else in my office, not even my parents, especially not them, with that I returned to my seat. Left to my solitude once more I turned on my laptop with the intention of getting to work, however, once it was connected to the Wi-Fi notifications began begun trooping in, I blinked as I caught sight of an article, it couldn’t be, I had to be mistaking, but of course I wasn’t.‘KASSEM WEDDING PART TWO’ More of its kind flowed in, and as much as I wanted to look away I couldn’t, I began scrolling.

HAIDAR’S POV“Good morning sir. Shall I get you coffee?”. My secretary said as I walked into my office. I shook my head. “That won’t be necessary”. I replied as I walked to my seat. “Thank you”. She nodded. “I’ll be at my desk sir”. She said before she turned around and walked out closing the door quietly behind her. I set my keys and phone aside before I sat down and relaxed into the leather seat. As if yesterday’s discussion with mother wasn’t tiring enough, I received an invitation this morning saying my supposed ‘fiancée’ would be graduating soon. It would be my first time meeting her, it would be the first time I would be meeting the woman I’m supposed to spend the rest of my life with. I didn’t want to meet her and I didn’t want the wedding, but of course, it didn’t matter. Preparations are in full swing and I can do nothing to stop it, I do not wish to drag her into the dark pit which is my life, neither do I wish to have anything to do with her, a cousin she was, yes

HAYFA ABDULRAHMAN KASSEM ’S POV As I took my seat I caught sight of it; a blood red rose tucked in the locker compartment of my desk. A small smile crossed my lips on seeing it, it wasn’t the first I had received of recent, but like always I feared it would be the last. What I didn’t understand was why anyone would take interest in the almost invisible girl in school. Not that I blamed anyone for not noticing me, not at all. As a kid I had made myself as scarce and quiet as I could be, no one ever noticed me, and I was cool with it. Why? I, Hayfa Abdulrahman Kassem, have been betrothed to my cousin; the arrangements long concluded before I was born, thus, training to be the perfect wife and daughter in law was made my first and only priority. For twenty two years I have lived having not a single soul to call a friend, of course mother said it didn’t matter, but the feeling of loneliness was one I couldn’t shrug.
