-------------Los Angeles, California.
------------------ Lily's hospital( During the attack)
Zainab
" Hey!" I screamed as I found a female nurse and another male nurse in Faryah's room as they were about to flee. The police were behind me and the two nurses immediately took to their heels. I didn't mind them because I knew the police were going to catch up with them, I knew Faryah was in danger. I rushed into her room and found the nurses and body guards all with bullets in their respective bodies. Oh my goodness. I found Faryahs door wide open and found her room disorganised. Her respirator was out of her and so was catheter. They had basically dismantled her infusion pump. Only Allah could save Faryah now. For all I knew, she was 90% dead.
Some nurses and doctors were already on their way. I tried fixing her respirator back into her mouth and that went well. " Zainab, we need you to leave, yo
------------San Francisco, California.------------------------ next morning.SophiaI tried adjusting my eyes to the brightness of the room. The reflection from the sun made everything look so bright. I tried moving my arms and legs but they were restricted. I was tied up to a chair, my whole body was tied up. I was so weak, and pale, I was so dehydrated and my mouth and lips were dry. My head hurt a lot. How was I even brought here?, the driver was actually Carlos, why wouldn't I be here. I looked around the room as I adjusted a strand of my hair with air as I blew towards it with my mouth, It was blocking my view. The room was darker on the insides, it was an uncompleted building, It was pretty big. There were some construction materials scattered everywhere. I looked around the building again and found another tied up figure across the room. It was a male figure."Hey" I tried yelling
--------------Los Angeles, California------------------------ Next day.SophiaI crawled myself to the edge of the wall in the shower for about two hours, thinking about how I could've saved Neill. The warm water lingered round my fair bare skin making me feel at least a little bit better. Yesterday was a heart-breaking day for the whole family. The pain we felt couldn't be measured or compared to anything.We lost a brother, a son and a lover. Neill Olyster was gone for good. He was never going to smile gracefully at us again, he was never going to take beautiful photos again. He was never going to scold and protect me again. It hurt a lot. I never ever thought I was going to go through anything like this anytime soon but here I was.I walked out of the bathroom and tied a pink towel around my chest and another one on my hair. I looked at my slim figure in the mirror and images of Neill came flashing back into my memory. I would've go
------------- Los Angeles, California.-------------------- Lily's Hospital(next morning)I opened my eyes again as I looked around my room. It wasn't the one I was in yesterday. It was more furnished. There were couches and a table with magazines and some other pretty flowers. It was all more beautiful and much more comfortable.Yesterday was the best and worst day of my life. Yeah I was very happy I got my voice back, that I could finally say words out loud now. It had been a long dream of mine and It had finally come true. The happiness I was feeling couldn't be expressed in any way.The Coma I fell into made me remember my past, who I truly was, my true Identity that GrandPa hid from me, for a reason I didn't know of, a reason I couldn't bring myself to try and understand. Why would he possibly hide that I wasn't his real granddaughter and that I and Khalid aren't supposed to be in this sit
------------ Los Angeles, California------------------ Same morning( Lily’s hospital)" Faryah, we made you hot chicken soup with some veggies" Sophia called immediately she walked into my room with me behind her. I couldn't take my eyes off Faryah, she was so beautiful even though she had lost some weight that was still keeping her alive. She had no flesh in her. Mother gave me the recipe for her chicken soup, and I made it for her. There was something in it that made it different from other chicken soups out there. She was going to come over to see Faryah later. Brandon and GrandPa were still handling the office, I was going there later too. I missed work for the first time. Pamela wanted to keep Faryah company, it was awkward but we could manage." Well hey, Khalid's the one that actually made everything for you this morning, he couldn't stop talking about you" Sophia blurted as I smacked her head w
--------------Los Angeles, California.----------------------- Same Morning ( Lily’s Hospital)I stared at her as she rushed out of the room to follow Khalid. I have never been in this kind of situation, I never even imagined that I was going to fall in love with someone. Not to even talk of me having a rival.They've been together for five years but he didn't really seem like he was in love with her. The way he acted when she arrived was just plain. I just really hoped that he wasn't toying with her feelings or playing her for some unknown reason. The way he cared for me and made me laugh and smile made me love him more. We were the perfect husband and wife. I really wanted to tell him how I felt for him. What I felt for him. It was just so hard to, cause maybe he didn't love me as much as I did. I loved him like crazy.I watched as the door opened up and a nurse along side a docto
--------------- Los Angeles, California------------------------Lily's hospital ( Same evening)" Faryah" I called as I happily walked into her room and found her groaning in pain and holding her forehead. " Are you okay?" I panicked as I rushed closer to her and tapped the red button on her bed that alarmed the doctor as I kept the coffee on her bedside table. She was in terrible pain. " Goodness, what's going on?" I panicked again as I watched her groan louder and the doctor finally arrived with nurses as they injected something into her. I watched as she finally calmed down and took a deep breath and batted her eyes as she looked at us well. "I have been waiting for that to happen" Mike began as he looked at Faryah's eyes. " it came so suddenly, and the pain was terrible, I felt like my head was going to explode" Faryah whispered as I intertwined our fingers." the headaches have begun, did you try remembering a
-------------Los Angeles, California.-------------------- Three weeks later( Olyster residence)I was finally out of the hospital and was back home. Well not my home. The Olyster home. " Home sweet home Faryah" Sophia called as the door to the mansion was opened up for us. It was a weekend so everyone decided to come take me home from the hospital I was really getting sick of. I had recovered, the scar from the stab was still there but the pain was gone, and I haven't had another headache since the last one. The doctor prescribed some drugs for me in case I got another headache. He said I was fine, I recovered fast. That I needed to exercise and eat healthy and the usual health stuff.I was hospital schooled and I was finally going to be going to UCLA to finish my course. I was given a thesis to complete in July so as for me to graduate. I couldn't graduate without the Thesis. I also wrote some exams and tests for me to be able to adjust within their fiel
------------- Los Angeles, California.------------------- Same afternoon( Olyster residence)." What the hell are you doing here?" I heard Khalid snap as he got up from beside me. He looked extremely angry. " I only came to talk to you and your mother" His voice was still the same. The situation was too intense for me to break down right now. He was Khalid's father. My Husband's Father." Talk?, Man I told you to stay away from us" I heard Khalid rage again as I saw him punch his Father to the ground. Deep down in me, I wanted to join him and beat him too. But I was going to make matters worse. Khalid didn't need to know. I was only going to be making matters worse. " Khalid" Sophia screeched as she rushed further to him. I couldn't move from where I stood. I wanted to move but I just couldn't." Just listen to me " Khalid's Father said again and I finally moved closer as he pushed
" okay now I think I made a huge mistake in marrying you Tyler. Why the hell did you bring a dog in here?, you know how much I dislike dogs and you brought one here and it popped all over my favourite carpet" lately all I did was throw tantrums at Tyler for no reason in particular.It was probably the baby in me that caused it." But you love dogs!, I thought it was going to cheer you up" My poor husband was trying to defend himself. Pregnancy wasn't easy honestly. One minute I was so mad and the next, I was crying." why don't you just let me complain?" I whined and threw myself on the comfy bed in our room. I was three weeks pregnant and it's been approximately seven months since we luckily put Pa Alejo and Miss Hae Soo in prison. Faryah and Khalid were in Rabat now and here I was, travelling the world during holidays with my husband Tyler. The asshole reverted for my sake. I remember clearly how I helped him say the Shahadah, he kept on stam
----------------Rabat, Morocco.------------------------------Three Months Later, Khayah Farms, 5:00pm." Mother used to tell me, if I ever find a good girl, I should never let her go. I'll never let you go Faryah" I heard Khalid whisper in my ear and I responded to him with a big radiant smile. He was holding Najmah in his right arm and our hands were intertwined with his left as we walked together round our huge apple farm in the heart of Rabat while letting the cool spring evening breeze soothe ourselves.Alhamdulillah.Khalid invested a lot of money in farms around the world, even in Kuala Lumpur. He said he bought a farm for an old man he met when he first came to Malay with Zarah. The man couldn't accept it just like that so they decided to split the ownership. The man owned half and Khalid owned the rest of the half.Najmah could walk now and as always, she was smiling. She was learning how to talk now, no more baby jibbe
-----------------Los Angeles, California.----------------------------Masjid Umar Ibn Al Khattab, two weeks later, 2:00pm" I, Faryah Edwards Mustapha have given myself away in Nikkah to you, Khalid Myles Olyster on the agreed Maher " My heart was literally dancing inside me as I let those words escape my lips." I have accepted the Nikkah" Khalid answered and I could hear Raihannah's tiny squeal from beside me.I have never been happier. I could finally hug him and cling to him always like before. Alhamdulillah.My heart was at ease and I was alive Alhamdulillah. If a minute had passed that faithful day and I wasn't given proper CPR, I would've either returned to Allah or had severe brain damage but here I was now. I was fine Alhamdulillah. I was happy and everything was right again in my life.Miss Hae Soo and Alejandro Martinez were gone and Najmah was back to us again with Zarah's help. I could finally sleep well
----------------Los Angeles, California.--------------------------Lily's hospital, 8:00pm, same day." I swear I'm going to kill that woman if anything happens to my wife, daughter and sister" I couldn't stand not doing anything. I felt so useless.Goodness.Miss Hae Soo struck again. This time she hurt Sophia and took Faryah away from me just like she took Najmah. I was literally just going insane by waiting for the police and knowing nothing about where my daughter and wife were.Well fiancée. But to me she's still very much my wife and In Sha’a Allah it was going to be finalized soon.I was going to keep on praying but I was longing for answers. No one even saw the person who came in to take Faryah and hurt Sophia, even the body guards.What was their use then?" We're lucky Sophia's fine" Ethan said as we looked at her lying peacefully on the hospital bed. Her he
---------------Medellin, Colombia.----------------------------Next day, 5:00pm. Martinez's Villa.Miss Ji Hae SooI was running out of time. Shim Seon Ah was out there and I was a fugitive. Everything I owned, all the properties, the connections, the hitmen, the weapons and the power I had. They were all gone. All because of some ordinary family. I had nothing left. The only person that was giving me a little bit of hope now was Uncle Alejo but he himself was broken because of the words his adopted daughter spat at him.The girl broke his heart and the old man was sulking.Yes, Alejandro Martinez was sulking because his daughter failed his test and now he had to kill her.The same man who had a heart of stone was heartbroken.It was true that everyone has his weak point. Alexandra Martinez was his.I was going to make sure I got my revenge on that Faryah Edwards Mustapha before the police got to me. I h
----------------------Medellin, Colombia.-----------------------------Present day, 11:15am, Martinez's Villa.All I want to do right now is to take a shower, get myself comfy in my pyjamas and cuddle myself in my queen sized bed and hopefully fall asleep.We successfully got the Korean lady on the train to Cartagena. I made sure I lectured her on not trying to contact anyone and she understood. Things were easy. I explained why I did everything I did to Tyler.I just hoped he wasn't going do something stupid to ruin my plans.I really couldn't wait for all this to be over. I missed my camera and the beautiful nature, to think I got a new photography job and here I was, shooting people.What a waste!The hot water trickled down my body from the shower as I scrubbed the sweat out of my body. I didn't want to get out of it but I just had to.Getting dressed after drying my hair and gellin
-----------------Medellin, Columbia.---------------------------- next morning, 5:00am, Martinez Cartel." Por qué llevas esa bufanda fea? Quítatela y déjame ver tu hermoso cabello oscuro. Oh, te he extrañado mucho mi querida hija (Why're you wearing that ugly scarf?, take it off and let me see your beautiful dark hair. Oh I've missed you a lot my dear daughter)" I wasn't in the mood for all his crap.He was still disgusting as always, still drinking and smoking his cigars at the same time." Pa Alejo, no estoy de humor para tus juegos. Me querías de vuelta, verdad? Ahora estoy aquí y estoy muy seguro de que tenemos un trato. Te daré un último servicio y eso es todo, así que puedes dejar de jugar y ser serio (Pa Alejo, I am not in the mood for your games. You wanted me back right?. Now I'm here and I am very sure we have a deal. I'll be of one last service to you and that's it so c
--------------Los Angeles, California.-------------------------- Valentine's residence. Same day, 12:45pm." I got this for you when we newly got married back then remember?. I couldn't give it to you early because you were attacked and you went into a deep coma" Khalid said as he sat beside me with a little space in between us on my comfy bed with velvet bed sheets. Super amazing. He was holding the diary he got for me back then.The one with the password " My Voice"." of course I remember my diary Khalid" I answered and he handed it over to me. " Well it's no longer your diary, it's now our journal of happy memories, nothing sad. I want you to read the first entry" He replied as he stared at me. " Just type in my voice and start reading" He looked excited. " you look happy" I typed in the alphabets and the lock opened." I'm always happy when I'm around you" I heard him say as I flipped the cover of the diary over and lo
-----------------Los Angeles, California.---------------------------------Two days later, Freehand hotel, Los Angeles, 11:00am.Maybe I should just turn back and leave. I wasn't exactly the person he wanted to see or even talk to in his life so why bother?. He opened the door and I scowled at the sight in front of me. I was once in his shoes." Why are you here?" He asked with a growl as I played with my hands in my pockets. " I came to check up on you" I tried my best to stay cool but all I could feel was pity for the guy. No wonder Faryah was sad that they didn't get to talk to properly. " so you came to mock me?"" Oh no, not at all. I just came to talk to you, man to man" he frowned and tried to slam the door at my face but I was quick to stop him. " Look. I know I am someone you don't want to ever talk to in your life but please hear me out. I really need to talk to you" He squashing me between the door and the wall.This was all
