Chapter 3

He moved back. She was shaking uncontrollably. She was definitely scared. Her face was a mess with all the tears and smudged makeup. But he was evil so he smirked looking at her state which he caused.

But it was the least thing he expected when suddenly she slapped him so hard with all her might.

Although it hurt him not much but it was a shock to him. Nobody ever slapped him in his life. People around him obey him and worship him like he is a god to them..his expression became hard. And he became so enraged that he was not sure himself that if he'll gonna kill her.

He instantly took hold of her throat and pushed her to the wall with all the force that her head collided with the wall and started to ache. While the strong hold on her throat was making it difficult for her to breath. Her eyes almost popped out and her face turned blue due to the lack of oxygen. While he gritted his teeth in rage and was definitely planning to kill her. But then he thought that it will be the least punishment to kill her at once. She should suffer for all of her life and beg him herself for death. Only then she can realize what sin she has committed. She thought she was dying, the only thing which came to her mind was her mother, her face giving her a warm smile.

But just then it disappeared and she came back to reality when the hold on her throat was not there anymore. Her view became clear and her fear returned at once. The beast was still in front of her.

"Remember that you slapped me, now you will suffer the consequences and no one will be responsible which will happen to you now, but only you. I will see you again".

He said close to her face and barged out of the room at once leaving her in the half conscious state. His words rang in her ear and roamed in her mind. She don't know when she passed out. But she woke up she was still in her room lying on the floor. She tried to sit up. When suddenly someone knocked the door. She was terrified, but her brother's voice was enough to sooth her nerves.

"Sister dad is calling you downstairs, have dinner with us" asad called out.

"don't come in I'm changing, and I don't have appetite, I'll eat later, I want to rest now" she excused trying to control her shaky voice.

"Okay then rest, good night" he replied.

"Good night" she called out. Then she stood up with the help of the wall and carried herself to the bathroom. She removed her dress and took a warm bath to relax her muscles. Her head was not aching anymore, but it hurt badly. She washed her hairs and wrapped them in towel. After wearing a bathrobe she came in to room and sat on the bed. The realization of what just happened to her rewinded the pain.

She remembered that she should lock the door. She instantly stood up and lock the door. As she was changing herself she noticed a cut on her lips in the mirror. It made her disgusted, as his touch rewinded on her body and she started to cry like a baby remembering her mother.

After changing she carried her heavy body to bed. After taking painkillers she closed her eyes and told her herself, it will be alright, just forget it. And she merely remember when sleep took over her dived her into dreams.

While Gerard went downstairs and saw Angelina bidding farewell to the guests.

"Angelina I need to talk to you" he said while standing close to her.

"okay tell me" she replied casually.

"Not here, it's important" he said.

"Okay, Wasim! Plz look after guests I'm coming in a moment." She called out and took Gerard into a living room.

They both sat on the couch.

"Now tell me" she said impatiently.

"Well I have my eyes on your daughter, and right now I kissed her. But instead of falling for my charms she slapped me. And now I want her beneath me in a week. And you will help me" said Gerard all at once.

"What? Are you serious? You are completely out of your mind" she said said in complete shock.

"I'm serious and now I want her at any cost" he said being determined.

"Gerard she is so young, and how can you kiss her? You know you both have religion differences too, it's not possible." She explained.

"Well if you will not help me you know yourself that I can also do it my way, but then you'll lose our friendship. I want her and I will get her" he said in monotone.

"Okay okay, don't be silly I'll help you" said Angelina fearing if she lose their friendship only she will face loss.

"Okay then tell me when I can reach her when Wasim is not around" he asked.

"Well Wasim is leaving in a week for a business trip and he will spend more days there than expected because it's a big project, so you can come when he's not here. And we can create a scene of kidnapping. This way no one will have a slight idea what actually happened." She proposed the plan.

"You're smarter than I thought, okay then call me when he'll go. The rest of it I'll do myself" he said and stood up. He went out and Angelina took a sigh of relief. Then she went upstairs and tried to open Alaya's room. It was locked. The lights were off. ' maybe she is sleeping now ' she thought and went back downstairs.
