"How do you feel about this wedding?" Murad asked from the driver's seat, his hands clasped on the steering wheel anxiously awaiting his sister's rants.
They haven't gotten the chance to talk about the whole wedding and her husband marrying another woman. She always manage to evade the question as much as she can but it seems like her brothers are also just giving her time to think things though. Just twenty one days ago, she heard about her husband getting married, it's not easy for her to just get used to the idea so easily. That is a huge change which will change their lives forever.

ABUJA, NIGERIA.The dinner was over an hour ago and Bushra could easily say she's won the night yet again. Mika'il wouldn't let her rest and the emcee is also wicked for asking the first wife to dance with her husband which is no doubt one of Murad's plans. It feels like they are the ones organizing the wedding and not the other way around, she likes the power and dominance that comes with the feeling of winning over a rival or more like, an enemy now.They danced for so long that she couldn't feel her feet but still Mika'il wasn't ready to let go of her so he went to bid goodbye to Zara. It wasn't a good sight seeing all people supporting Zara glaring at her that was before they heard the sirens from the halls gate which means someon

She called Fayha, Kauthar, Afrah and Amir to come give her a hand along with her brothers. She has so much to plan for that day and can't wait to see the outcome of it all. Some might think she is happy to welcome her co-wife but that is the last thing she would want to do but has to, like a must.Everything has happened and all she needs to do now is know how to hold onto her husband tightly and not let any woman come take him away from her.

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Welcome." Amani placed a blinding smile on her face whilst holding her daughter closely to her chest in a way to show that they are family, Mika'il is standing right behind her with his arms around her waist.He promised to be with her in every step of the way and that is his way of being there for her, standing behind her to welcome his new wife. She didn't want him to do so but he forced it upon himself to do it anyway, saying it is another way of showing Zara where she belongs. She should not force her way into their lives, they are already contented the way they are. Amani only laughed at his interpret ions but didn't oppose him, what? She wants all her husband's attention.Amani noticed the smile on some of them dropping instantly at the sight of them, most of them are

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Bushra kept tossing and turning on the bed even though Anaan is sleeping right beside her soundly with nothing to bother her while her mother on the other hand is tensed and tired knowing her husband is not with her but with another woman just up the stairs.

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Bushra finished her packing last minute, all the while boiling in jealousy because Mika'il just greeted her good morning with kisses and then left again to God knows where but she dead hopes he isn't going to that woman, she'd lose it if he does that. She can take everything coming from Zara but not from him, she can't stomach anything. She couldn't even get good sleep the night before just knowing he is with his new wife.She sighed for the umpteenth time thinking about what Zara did to her earlier in the kitchen, her own kitchen. She knew the woman came intentionally to get her riled up and she has never been happy for the reply she gave her. That woman is deranged if she thinks she will let her match all over her because

QUEENSTOWN, NEW ZEALAND.They arrive safely at New Zealand around midnight, they are all jet lagged but Zara insisted that they eat out in a restaurant. She didn't want the night to end neither did she want Bushra to come with them but Mika'il insisted. Even Bushra didn't want to go with them and act mature then sleep off but she can't just ignore her husband plea and look of desperation so she agreed and now they are in a very beautiful restaurant waiting for their meal."What have you ordered for me? It sounds so strange to my ears." Bushra whispered to Mika'il who is sitting right in the middle of them, so much trouble."Lemon garlic butter shrimp with asparagus, you will love it

QUEENSTOWN, NEW ZEALAND.Two hours after their breakfast, they all got dressed into their best outfits. Bushra is wearing a mahogany coloured sarong, a loose plunging frost white shirt atop her hot ruby sport bra that looks like a swimming suit. She tied her hair with matching mahogany veil, took her expensive Fendi slippers and some beach stuff is packed into her Gucci bag. Dealing with people like Zara, she needs to show off her wealth too or she'd look down upon her which is the least she would agree to. Everything about her from head to toe is designer, she is also wealthy.Getting set, she took one of her oversized butterfly shades and close her eyes with it then left the room to search for the other couple. She saw Zara kissing Mika'il and if she would remove the jealousy and look from anybody's point of view, he

ABUJA, NIGERIA."How's the weather today?" Jiddah Buhari Yakasai questioned her maid, packing her hair in a ponytail while tightening the belt around her robe."The weather is chilly but not enough to make someone catch cold. We've set the mattress there and the food is about to go down." The maid said proudly as if what she is said is enough to get her more bonus this month or a medal."Okay, good work. We have only two hours left, hurry up." And Jiddah went back to work, arranging this and decorating that at the backyard while checking the pot to see what needs to be removed and whatnot. Everything needs to be perfect, that is what she keeps chiding to herself."You need to wake up now, Mika'il. Both you and your daughter are

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Mika'il hurried to the hospital following the ambulance in tow because he reached the accident late, he was asked to follow and not enter inside where they are trying to save both the baby and mother. He anxiously step on the pedal forgetting that his stepmother is inside the car with him which is weird. He's never being himself around the woman, he didn't know how to react to his father married to another woman and his mother being absent in the house. It feels different and not good kind of.When the woman heard the news, she called him out and request to be with him in this tough situation, he agreed to that and allowed her inside his car. His heart is thudding in an unexplainable way, hurting his chest in process of it. His ears hurt, as if he cannot hear anything but his heartbeat beating in the fastest rate. He is scared shitless!H

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Discreetly and inconspicuously, the woman in black coat walked around the airport with her small luggage in search of a cab in the busy streets of Abuja. Her hand is closing her stomach while the other held onto the luggage that seems to hold her life. She hailed more than three cabs already but none were willing to stop because of God knows what, she didn't give up. They didn't stop because they do not know who she is, she will give them that excuse. Her father rules the country, but she is treated like a dirt underneath their feet? Joke's on them then!When one finally stopped, she told him to drive straight to Asokoro even without the knowledge of why she wants to be there. She won't go to her father's villa for by now, he's already known what she's done and won't forgive her for steal

ABUJA, NIGERIA."I really want her with Amir. Do you notice just how happy she is now after what has happened? I have no doubt she won't go back to Mika'il." Fayha shook her head, sitting comfortably on Kauthar's bed along with Mujaheed, Mujaddad, Murad, Hanan and Kauthar herself in the Masari mansion."That's not debatable. I still want to beat him to pulp though, I'll have to." Murad cracked his fists picturing Mika'il's fresh face getting hit by him. The guy is just what he is! It doesn't mean he likes him now after finding out Zara, whom they thought is also six feet underground did it. It doesn't matter, he was the one who hurt his sister."I can't believe Ya Zara did all that and she is alive. That means she will trace Mika'il and come straight here, heavily pregnant or not."

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Why did Dad suddenly call out for emergency meeting so early in the morning? I mean, isn't his new wife taking care of him well?" Amir yawned, closing his eyes with his bulky arms to stop the sun rays from hitting his sleepy eyes. His wife just had to slide down from his body to wake up like every other day though she normally stops to do what she needs to but today, he is unattended to because 'Dad wants to see us urgently, wake up' what the heck?!"I don't know and stop talking about his wife like that, she's your stepmother. I'm going to go take a shower, bring our outfit out, please?" She made a puppy dog eyes before they moved to her daughter who stirred but didn't wake up.

ABUJA, NIGERIA.The father and son talked for a very long time and before they knew it, the sky is dark an ominous emitting it's rage as if knowing what is about to happen will not only shake few people but a whole lot will have to be revealed. So many underground secrets are going to be reaped no matter how much they all would want it to be a nightmare. Not everyone knows about the many secrets about to be reaped, just one person and maybe another who is now dead. The real battle of a family is about to be issued sooner rather than later."I should get your blood tested first before we proceed with telling everyone that you are alive and kicking."

The man's attention is entirely focused on what he is doing in his laptop, it doesn't annoy her anymore as she is used to it."You always want to leave home after your marriage, Fay." His words made her blush but she won't give up. She is not just going home that day because she wants to see her husband but because she is not feeling okay at all.Her stepbrother, Hammad Bamalli is the definition of hardest nut to crack.

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Why did you have to go see him without me?" Amir kvetch, his hands gliding up and down her knee to her toes as she complained about the dull ache."I had to see him before he leaves. This is a one time opportunity for him and I'm never going back to New Zealand so, I did have go." She shrugged with a cheeky smile which he could only shake his head at trying to hide his jealousy."Well, continue praising him in my presence. I also get jealous, you know." He lowered his eyes down to her feet so she won't see the possessiveness that blared in his eyes. Seriously, he's been trying to suppress his feelings since she told him about going to meet her so called foreigner. It doesn't matter whether they share the same religion or not, he does not like her with other men, periodt."Wait, raise up your head. C'mon, Amirr." She drawled, tak

ABUJA, NIGERIA."And you think I got married to you because I love you? Jokes on you, princess, you were naïve enough to fall into my trap. I married you to ruin your life!" Murad spit out those venomous words to Hanan who suddenly left the bed and stood in front of him. Her eyes are wide filled with concern, worry, disbelieve and a tinge bit of betrayal."Say what?" Her question is a bit shaky, wanting to wake up from this nightmare."You heard that alright, sweetheart. That is something you should've known from the beginning but sadly, you still fell right where I want you to." He nonchalantly meandered to the vanity table to remove his Baguette diamond pentagon cufflinks."You are joking with yourself, Murad. I've always been honest with you and th
