His days are counting
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I asked again, are you in love with my enemy's daughter?" He roared like an angry lion.
Herald stared at him for a while and then burst into laughter.
"Is this really funny?" he asked with a long face. "Yes, infact you are a joker. You are aware I am a playboy; how can someone like me fall in love? I know Nathaniel loves you a lot, and I don't want you to make a mistake you will ever regret"
"Please Khalid, think about it," he said, and he sat down on the sofa.
"Stand up and get out of my house," he ordered authoritatively.
"Are you serious right now?" He asked, standing on his feet.
"Since you don't understand the excess of my revenge and have chosen to support my enemy in spite of everything, I think you are no longer needed here," he said, and put on a fierce look.
"I am not supporting your enemy; in fact, I want you to punish those old people very much. But not the innocent girl; can't you get that?" He tried to make him understand.
"Get out, or I will be forced to throw you out myself. Get out," he pointed towards the door.
He stood for a while, surprised. He didn't believe Khalid would walk him out of his house just because he was trying to persuade him not to punish an innocent girl for his parents' crime.
He gulps down his lumps and glares sternly at him.
"If I ever step foot here, call me a bastard," he said and walked out. Khalid took a deep breath and sat on the sofa.
Khalid POV
Why can't he understand anything? Even Jenny, whom we met ten years ago, understands me perfectly.
She always supports me in everything, but he's against me, knowing fully well how much this means to me. Why can't he understand this?
I feel really bad walking him out of my house, but I was hurt when he said he would never step foot here again.
I thought he was my brother; he always had my back, but today he stood against me. If he wants to cut me off from my revenge, then so be it. It is what it is.
I get up and push the table angrily, causing the glass on the table to fall and break.
"James, get this mess cleaned." I ordered my guard before dashing to my room.

Herald
I can't believe Khalid walked me out of his house, after everything. I gave up on my life just for him. All my life I have lived for him, just to make him happy after he lost his parents.
I am not great like my parents claim. Indeed, I am a fool. My best friend is doing well, and I leave my own job just to come and help him with his revenge. But today he didn't think twice before breaking the bond between us.
I have never been hurt like this in my entire life. My heart was deeply shattered.
My phone beeps. It was an unknown number. I picked up the phone and waited for the person to speak up.
"Hi, is this Herald Brown?" A feminine voice asked from the other end.
"How may I help you?" I asked.
"Okay, I will go straight to the point. "I am the person you book tonight," she said, and that got me mad.
"So you are the b*tch I am supposed to spend this night with. I must say that you are senseless, since I don't call you. Must you call? How foolish can someone like you be? Excuse me, don't ever call this number again," I snapped, and I ended the call.
Her call came in again. I didn't want to pick up, but I changed my mind as she wouldn't stop calling.
"What do you want exactly?" I asked angrily.
"I called you back to tell you that you are very stupid for insulting me in that manner. To hell with you and your problem. I cancelled all my deals today because you booked earlier, but I didn't realize I was talking to a fool. Screw you, guy," she snapped, and she ended the call.
She doesn't mean it. She actually called back just to insult me. human with strange behavior. I don't want to think about it. my head is already full, how can I stop Khalid and how will I save Nathaniel.
Should I call her and told her everything. I think for some while and resorted against it, I can't let Nathaniel know about this, she can tell her parent.
Khalid already come too far than to get my betrayal. No I won't do that. When I couldn't get myself together, I choosed to lay on my bed, glaring at the ceiling.

Edward
"So what's your plan after the wedding?" My wife asked.
"What do you think I could be planning?" You know me too well, so why ask?" I replied, drinking from a glass.
"I am confused, because you've never agreed to take 30% of anything from anyone before. So that's really hard for me to figure out. Just tell me your interior motive," my wife insisted.
"Mrs. Edward, I thought you are answering that name because you are as smart as me." But I realized your brain isn't like mine; your daughter actually inherited your short memory. "I scowled, but she hissed.
"I told you not to compare me to that girl; can't you see she's very dull, while I am so smart? Die with your plan then." She shouted and went to bed angrily.
"Hey woman, are you really mad at me? I was just joking" I said, and went to join her.
"If you can't tell me your plan, then there's no need to talk to me." She jerks my hand.
"You know I don't always have any better plans than to make sure all his wealth becomes ours. The marriage was just a pretense. I can't believe that little Brat makes me dance to his tune.
He made me agree that I will get 30% from my own business; I only asked him to invest in it because I am having issues, but it's obvious he's a glutton.
Who did he think he was? I have dealt with many people like him, and they paid with their life. It's a matter of time. He will regret ever giving me that condition.
I will really deal with him, even if he has to pay with his life. I don't care; all I care about is that I will own all of his wealth," I said, and I stood up from my bed, laughing hysterically as a smirks dance by the corner of my lips
. "Khalid, how dareyou joke with the lion in his den. You will regret joking with Edward. You are close to your death, son-in-law." My beautiful wife also stood on her feet.
I like that look. I love it when she's ready to hurt our enemy.
"We are going to conquer all our enemies together," she said, and she walked to the window.
"Then I will just say his days are counting." I said, and we both laughed.

"How could they be planning on killing the man I love?" This isn't going to happen. Noooooo, I won't let this happen. Even if it's going to cause Edward's life's"Nathaniel shouted. She wonders how callous her parents could be. How could they be planning to kill him just for his wealth? Khalid I love you with all my life, and I won't let anyone hurt you. She said with teary eyes that she was trying to hold herself back from crying, but she couldn't. She picked up her phone and dialed Khalid's number. But there was no reply; had he refused to pick up her call? Did she do anything wrong to him? Different thoughts popped into her mind. She later resorts to calling Herald. But she drops the idea. "I think it's time I face these people; for how long are they going to make my life miserable? All they have ever given me is pain all my life, and the only person that makes me happy, they are planning on taking him away for me." "How callous could they be?" She dashed out of her room

Khalid looks at the stack of work he has to tackle. He tried getting himself to work but couldn't. He actually thought it would be easy for him to move on without Herald, but it's quite difficult. He really needs to speak to him but that idiot has refused to pick his call. He was so worried. He decided to tell jenny about this. He pick up his phone and dial her number. "Hi dude"Jenny voice came from the other end. "I am not fine, please can you help me contact Herald, I try my best to call him but he refused to pick up my calls"He said calmly.

"No, we are in the same boat. I was thinking we should stop this marriage by any means," she suggested with an evil grin.There was a long silence. Herald scoffed and shot a glare at Jenny. She was eager to hear his opinion. "I am not going to support this," he finally said. "Why? "you really don't want him to punish her, right, then why don't you want to be part of this?" She asked and rushed towards him, holding his hand."We can't do this; you know Khalid well enough. He won't forgive us if he finds out. I think he's right; this revenge includes the whole family. He should deal with them, " Herald said, even though it wasn't coming from his heart. She looks really disappointed. That wasn't what she expected. She took a deep breath and tried to emotionally blackmail Herald. "I feel so much for Khalid; he has really gone through a lot." He deserves revenge. I am sorry for saying that.

"Firstly, I will like to say sorry to you Herald,I was so rude and I betrayed brotherhood"He apologized. "You are forgiving. So who's this guy?"He asked. "Yes, is he one of your business partners. Or who is he?"Jenny asked, with anxiety in her voice. "I know you guys are curious. Just take a chill pill. Well this is Steve"He started by introducing him. "Huh Steve, so what does that got to do with us"Jenny asked, tired of the gathering. She just hope Khalid is not trying to introduce a new friend because she hates having so many friends. "Well, the guy here is an actor, but not a popular one"Khalid furthers say. "Oh! but what's an actor doing here. Are we shooting movie?"He asked, trying to understand what he's trying to get to.

Khalid POV"Guy, I think this will suit you well; I will go for this," Herald said, picking a suit for me and himself."Let me try it on; let's see how it goes," I said, and I took the suit to the dressing room. I came back and they were mesmerized as if this is the first time I am putting on a suit. To me, it doesn't makes any difference. "Wow! You really look good in this. "Common dude, marriage is already shown on your face," Herald said teasingly. "Don't miss these two things, dude: revenge, not marriage," Jenny corrected, and Herald chuckled. "Correct. I know you are smarter than this guy," I said in support of Jenny, and we both shook hands. "Whatever, all I know is that you are getting married. And I think that's a good thing because I might be lucky to find my bride," Herald said while trying his suit on."Really, what about your flings?" "Are you giving up?" Jenny asked. She didn't mean that; was she supposed to remind him about that?"Not until I see someone who steals

Look into my eyes and tell me if you believe those word"Khalid try to change the topic. "Why shouldn't I"She asked trying to control her emotions.

"Mr. Steven, thanks for changing your mind I am very sorry for my wife's unusual behavior," Mr. Edward apologized."It's alright; you are very lucky. You should be grateful to Mr Khalid. He begged me to come back. And I also came back for the sake of your beautiful daughter. She's a very good girl," Mr. Steven said, and gulped down his lumps. "We shouldn't delay signing all the documents; I have to be somewhere soon," Khalid said with a smirk."Just sign all that document. Then all your companies will belong to me. You were so foolish to have mistakenly put your company files in the documents you gave me, Mr. Edward.

When I can just command her, this guy has really placed me in a very big situation. I will try my best. I kept rummaging on how to do that when I heard Jenny and Nathaniel's voices from downstairs."Oh, my goodness! Jenny can actually harm her," I thought and rushed to the living room. But it's obvious I was already late, as Nathaniel was coming upstairs with anger written all over her. I haven't seen her in this way before, she really looks like a Lucifer bride with that face. On getting to where I was standing, she stopped and smiled.

He even told me that I shouldn't let him know about my dad's plans to kill him. He said he would certainly take good care of that. "Well, I will advise you not to be too scared of him and to make sure you do your own thing no matter how angry he gets. He can't kill you, so you need to be strong so that when he finally comes around, you won't have to kill yourself. And about your dad trying to kill him?

Some days laterKhalid POVI was wondering when Nathaniel became so fearless. She doesn't seem to be scared of me the way she was the first time. I tried everything to scare her to death, but she never seems to bother. What's her strength? I glared evilly at her from upstairs. She was busy playing with Helen despite knowing I was still at home. "General market, hold on!" she shouted, and I guess she's winning Helen already. I scoffed, and their attention was drawn to me. I was expecting her to flinch in fear, but she didn't bother and instead sat back. I was so angry and clinched my fist, like I wanted to fight hand-to-hand with my fellow man. "Get out of here now!" I shouted, and Helen opted out immediately. But rather she crossed her legs over each other. What gut is in my house? Who gave her the nerve to do whatever she wanted? "Are you deaf?" I thundered, and she stood up and fidgeted. That's what I wanted, I wanted her to quiver in fear at the mention of my name. "How dare yo

Everything is missing. To me, he appears more like a devil than an angel. I wanted to speak with someone, maybe that would ease my mind. But I have no one to talk to; if I speak to Michelle, Mr. Edward and his wife will surely find out about this. I don't know why all this is happening to me. But I will rather stay here than go back to that house. I was doing my thinking when a knock came on my door. This time I didn't make the mistake of not asking who it was. "Ma, this is Helen. You are asked to come down for dinner," she said. And the worm In me stood dancing, I could see how happy the news was but I couldn't. "Who asked you to call me?" I found myself asking instead of sliding the door open. She kept quiet at first, and I chose to do the same. "Mr. Herald," she said, "but he also supp
