His Billionaire Wife? Chapter 18
Nikhat"I'm really sorry, Mia", I tell Mia as she packs up her stuff. "I didn't know my parents would show up like this. Otherwise—""It's okay", she chuckles. "It's my problem that I can't stay around new people. This lodge room is big enough. And I have told Irtaza to arrange a place for me"I mildly smile at her gesture. I was even left stunned when Abbu and Ruzina showed up here. I can sense there must be some reason but I don't really wanna be too mean to ask that. They might be here only to visit me. I think that could be a good reason. The last time I talked to abbu wasn't pretty good.Just then, Mia's phone rings and she picks up."Yeah. It's Ushna Ilyas", Mia says. "Yes. I'm confirming the lease. Thank you"She cuts the call and smiles at me. "Told you. Irtaza managed it within just twenty minutes. He's faster than any bullet train""But it's too late, Mia. How will you go alone?" I ask, looking out of the window."Don't worry. I—"Mia gets interrupted by the doorbell."I kn

Nikhat"It's done", I say, finding Mia and Irtaza talking near the window.Both of them squirm abruptly with my presence and pass me a smile. I think they were having some private conversation. "Please, join", I smile and walk to the living room. I'm surprised that Ruzina isn't bothering Irtaza with her rants. Abbu must have handled her. However, she's staring at Irtaza for a long time. The silence is also kinda awkward."So, where's Mia's apartment?" I ask, breaking the silence."Here itself. I have booked another lodge until your parents are here", Irtaza says. "I see!" I mutter. We finish the coffee quietly and they get up to take leave. I walk with Mia to the exit, following Irtaza. "Take care, Nick", Mia shares a side hug."You too", I smile.Mia walks towards the car. Since the area is big enough, her apartment can be too far to walk. As Mia gets inside the car, Irtaza turns to me. "Thanks for the coffee", Irtaza says."You're welcome", I hesitate. "And I'm sorry you might

KaifI returned to the resort after roaming near the alley for almost an hour. As far as I remember around that time Nikhat comes to her balcony. I have been going there at the same time every night just for the small eye to eye meeting with no words— only eye contact and smiles. Today she didn't come. I'm somehow disappointed. To get rid of the anxiety, I lie on the bed and look over at the ceiling. Then I close my eyes for a while to sleep. But I can't. I keep changing positions to sleep. I think it has become a regular habit for me.I jump off the bed and breath heavily for a while, looking straight at the wooden floor. What am I doing? That was not a plan. I wasn't supposed to get used to her again. Loving is a different thing. But being used to a person is another thing. I know if I keep doing this, things are gonna be even tough for me when I would leave. I get on my feet and come out of my room, walking through the lobby. Sleep has literally broken all the ties with me ever s

kaifI finally blurt out, waiting for her reply. "Like what?" She asks, confused. Did she really not understand what I'm trying to say?"Zoya!" I exclaim. "I think he likes her""So, you think bosses should dislike their employees"This girl might have lost it today. Why is she acting like she isn't getting anything?"Not like that", I screech. "Like what?"Now, it's being frustrating. "Zoya, you can clearly understand what I'm trying to say. Can't you?" I shrug."Yeah. I can. But I'm not getting why you're so concerned about that. Okay, fine. He likes her. Maybe. So what?"I can't reply. Really. So what?"So what, Kaif? Didn't you already tell me that you're happy with the things? You said you don't wanna tell her about your feelings. Then you should stop caring if anyone is interested in her. You shouldn't be affected", her words are harsh but true. However, how am I gonna convince to myself? Even I'm tired of convincing you that again. But whenever it hits my sanity, I lose it

KaifI know things are going out of my hands but it's high time to pick my broken self up and fix them.I also know that it won't be easy to fix myself. I'm gonna lose it again. But this time I'll try to be as positive as possible. While thinking about all this my phone buzzes. I pick it out of my pocket and look at the screen. Surprisingly, it's Nikhat. I sigh and stare at the screen. How am I gonna handle myself when she's around? Anyway, why is she calling me at this hour? I hope everything is fine. I didn't find her on the balcony either. Concerned, I pick her phone up. "Hey", I beam, wiping all the anticipation away. I don't want her to ask unwanted questions."Hi", her voice is low and sluggish. As I feel myself lost again in her deep voice, I don't even realise she might be waiting for me to say something."I hope I didn't wake you up", she adds before I can say anything. Her voice is shaking slightly as if she's nervous about how to say something. "No. I wasn't sleeping",

kaif"I didn't expect you to come", she mutters."Why so?" I ask.This is the first time we are communicating in this place. It's not a silent moment anymore. "Just like that", she says. "You should have slept until now""I'm not feeling like to", I tell her. "Why? Is anything wrong?" Her voice is a bit concerned. "Just stressed out about the work. Zoya is leaving in a couple of days and I have to take over all this then", I mumble, keeping eye contact. "Isn't it good news then?" She beams. "I mean you have such a good opportunity to prove your capabilities even more"Her excitement makes me a bit excited too. Damn! I was so scared a while ago. Even now I'm scared a bit. Not to the extent where I had to think of quitting. I still have that fear though."I know but I don't think I can carry that. So, I was getting worried", I scratch my head, breaking eye contact with her so she doesn't see the anxiety on my face. "I hope Zoya changes the plan anyway""Why do you feel so, Kaif?" He

Author's POVRuzina walks back into the lodge with a burden of thoughts in her head. She has been thinking about Irtaza ever since she overheard them and from that moment, she's trying to figure out what she should do. She turned her sister down, making false excuses and it's now clear to her that she wants Nikhat to get married to Irtaza as soon as possible.Ruzina doesn't have any children which are why she has always been insecure about her life further since Ridwan has already been retired. Nikhat grew up as a beautiful woman over time and she knew Nikhat could be the medium to solve all her insecurities. She wanted to control her life and trade her as an investment always. That was why she manipulated Ridwan against Abrar since he was not rich enough. She forced Nikhat to get married to Hasan Malik— a citizen of the UK to ensure she gets enough profit out of Nikhat's marriage.She was indeed getting it from Hasan. Even when Nikhat informed them about Hasan's second marriage— he

NikhatIt's been a while since I've sat here in the dark alley with Kaif. It's so strange that I have never explored this alley in the last six months but today I did. With him. I'm also a bit concerned about Ruzina and Abbu being in the lodge. They might be wondering where I have been. I'm sure Ruzina is gonna make a fuss about it to abbu as she has always been doing about me. I remember those days when I couldn't be a single minute late to return from school and Ruzina used to complain to abbu, saying I had been disappearing for hours. I can't forget those dreadful days and somewhere I used to believe Ruzina is acting like all the typical mothers as she had made me believe all mothers are like that. I used to think she was strict and wanted the best for me. As I grew up, I realised it wasn't a normal thing. But then, it was too late. Abbu wouldn't believe me if I said anything against her. He used to think I had gone reckless. I never complained for years. Then why at that moment

Nikhat"He's the photocopy of Abrar", Mrs. Ali says, holding the newborn. After eight months of our marriage, Zoya delivered a cute baby boy. He's a premature baby, indeed but still out of all danger by the grace of God. "Just pray that he gets the same tactics as me. I can't handle two short-tempered creatures", Abrar laughs."Wait! You just wait. Let me get a bit healthier", Zoya shoots him a glare. "You can scream only. What else can you do?" Abrar rolls his eyes."You—"And they continue.I take the newborn in my arms, giggling at him lovingly."First and foremost rule, Mrs. Wife", Kaif whispers near me. "No future planning after this"He's always so scared!"I know right? Stop worrying!" I scowl at him. So many things changed over time but he didn't. At first, he was scared to love someone and get married. Now, he's scared of having a baby. I don't mind it though. It's just a matter of time. I'm happy the way I am.I was promoted to the company with my salary getting doubled.

Nikhat"Are you hungry already?" Kaif asks from behind.I drift my eyes outside and look at him from near the window with a smile. He is munching a subway burger with a tight-lipped smile on his face. "Wouldn't it be better if you had gotten something for me instead of just asking?" I shrug, jumping behind and sitting at the edge of the window."Hey, careful", his eyes widen. "You're gonna fall""I'm used to it", I giggle. "This is not the first time I'm sitting at your window"He chuckles, walking toward me. "Yeah, but definitely you never hoped onto it wearing a lehenga", he scoffs as I stare down at him. He stops just an inch away from me and spirals his left arm around my waist. I shudder with the abrupt contact and lack of distance between us. My heart starts thudding against my chest and my body vibrates when he tightens his grip around me. It's been a year since we were engaged but never before has he touched me this way. I didn't want him to. But if he wanted, I wouldn't ev

Author's POVRuzina goes completely shocked but it doesn't take her much time to understand what is exactly happening. "How wouldn't I come, Mrs Ruzina?" Irtaza chuckles. "After all, the alliance maker should be there?" Zoya presses her lips tightly so she doesn't burst into laughter by watching Ruzina's stunned face. On the other hand, Nikhat gets confused with Irtaza's words."Alliance maker?" She exclaims."We can discuss that later", Zoya jumps into the conversation. "Let the guests in, Nikhat""I'm sorry", she smiles and makes a way for them to get in. As others follow Ridwan and Nikhat inside, Ruzina keeps standing there and gazing at Irtaza."You look stunned, Mrs Ruzina", Zoya rolls her eyes. "Ah, well, let me introduce myself. Zoya Zafar, Irtaza's business partner and your would-be son-in-law's friend"Ruzina curls up her face and doesn't even smile at any of them. Zoya crosses her arms and takes a step toward her, raising her eyebrows."What did you think Mrs Ruzina? Onl

NikhatI have been waiting for the evening the entire day and finally, the moment arrived. Kaif has indeed replied to me with a message which said, "it's fine"The text didn't sound genuine to me at all. Especially when he sent only two words in the reply to my entire paragraph. Couldn't he realise the urgency in that message? I don't know if I'm overthinking. He's not bound to send me a paragraph just because I did. "Nikhat, shall we leave?" Mia asks. "No. I have some work left", I lie. I don't have any pending work. Besides, Irtaza already told us that he doesn't need the whole team today. I should have left. "I thought you were done", Mia roll her eyes."No. I—" I stammer. "I'm yet to complete a few""Okay, then. Goodnight", grabbing her stuff, Mia walks towards the exit. I get back to my desk and look for some work to do. "Nikhat!" Irtaza's voice hits my ear as I look up, finding him walking out of his cabin which is straight in front of me. "You didn't leave yet"I don't kn

NikhatI don't know how to react to this crap. I can only see how hard Irtaza is trying to pass a smile. I know that wasn't expected. And why did he even need to come here just because Ruzina called him? He could have turned her down. He has plenty of work to do. I force a smile and walk toward them. "That was not necessary. Was it?" I mumble, glaring at Ruzina. How can she still smile like that?"I just thought to—" Ruzina strives to say as I walk up to her."Thought to what?" "This is so embarrassing. Why did you do this? He's my boss", I exclaim, whispering near her face.I can't say if she deliberately did that. Why would she anyway?"But he said—" she mutters. "That's called courtesy which he said. And we'll not do that. That's our courtesy", I shoot her a glare. Ruzina frowns at me as if she still can't digest that I'm arguing with her. As I should. I should have done that a long time ago. And now she literally crossed the limits by embarrassing me. What will Irtaza think a
His Billionaire Wife? Chapter 28
"Okay. What about that?" I ask."Irtaza came there to meet them. They spend an afternoon together", he says and his reactions harden."Okay, so?" I ask even though I have already sensed what it meant. This is something different from any boss and employee relationship. I'm not judging though and I'm not even sure if there's another reason. I bet Kaif also doesn't know the exact reason. He's just assuming. "So? Zoya, can't you understand what that means", he scoffs at me. "That means Nikhat is having a lot of guests. What else?" I roll my eyes. "Stop it, yaar. You—``''why can't you see what I'm seeing?" He yells out of nowhere. "Because I'm not as intelligent as you. Explain to me", I scowl at him. "You can't get, Zoya? Really? Don't you know what it means? In this society, when a guy meets a girl's parents? That guy who likes her. They literally had a meeting, a conversation. Don't you know what it seriously means?" He speaks out of frustration."So!" I mumble.."So!""Yeah. So,

KaifI walk faster. As fast as I could. Through the dark alley. My head literally stops working when I put the pieces of the puzzle of that incident. I don't know why I'm getting so pissed and irritated. He just came to meet.He just came to meet. I kept ranting this to myself until I reached the resort. I feel my breathing getting ten times faster than before. I can hear my groans as I grab the grills of the gate and fum heavily. My body has heated up and I'm unable to calm down anyway. Everything was going so fine. So damn fine. Until she talked about Irtaza being there. I lost it and I didn't want to show how pissed I was, nor could I behave normally. I'm already hiding enough and this will go beyond. Anticipation builds me rapidly, no matter how much I try to console myself. "Sir, I need to close the gate", the security guard says. I glare at him for no reason and storm into the resort, walking as fast as I can.I reach my room and twist the knob. Opening it a bit, I slam the

Nikhat"Nikhat!" He whispers my name but I don't look up. I feel him holding my hand tightly and I hold the edge of the bench. Then I sense him decreasing the gap between us. He uncovers my face, lifting my hair from my cheek and tucking them behind my ear. I can feel him staring at me which makes me blush harder. "Look at me", he leans down to my ear and whispers. I squirm with his warm breath fanning my skin. As I don't respond to his words, he lifts his hand to me and slides two of his fingers across my jaw, slowly nudging my face towards him. I finally look up at him. Our eyes meet. He smiles, peering at me as if he's scanning each detail of my face. I had never been so comfortable with anyone's gaze the way I'm with him. It seems to be pure and peaceful. Most importantly, I love it. He locks his hand with mine and gets closer to my face. Enough closer which forces me to drop my gaze in shyness. "Why do you always steal your gaze from me?" He whispers. "I want you to look
