"Okay, I will just get ready and meet you there." Zara said into the phone and sprang to her feet to look good for her husband to be.
He just called telling her that he is in their garden where they mostly meet. He was tired of hiding away from her and the thought of bringing her to their home doesn't appeal him anymore but who is he to back out when there are little days left till they get married and she will be his wife. This will be the greatest mistake he's ever made in his entire life. He won't ruin her life though, he made a mistake and he is the one to suffer the consequences of having two wives at twenty nine.

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Well then, I will be waiting for your surprise. Don't take too long, I might go crazy without seeing you in this beautiful outfit."

He should not get too carried away, he chanted in his head while looking at his well makeup-ed wife.She looks exquisite!"I won't take too long." She grinned, pecked his jaw then draw him out of the room so he can leave. Time is already running out and he wants to pray isha with his friends before entering the hall.

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.

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 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."

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."

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
