Abi,
By the time you get this letter, I would have already left this place. I wanted to meet you before leaving, but I didn’t have the heart to face you and make you feel more miserable. I know you are going through many things, and seeing me every day makes it worse for you. I wish I could help you, but I need to gather myself with everything that has happened.
I don’t blame you for what happened to me. Yes, I was hurt and found myself asking why Ruby aunty did what she did to me? Why did she go to such an extent? What did she gain? But one look at her paled face now, and I found myself forgiving her.
That day you said you would forgive your mother once you earn mine and Myra’s forgiveness. I’m lessening your burden, and I forgive Ruby Aunty from the bott
We will find a way out of this.When Abram heard Sharon say, he couldn’t help but barge into the room, and when he saw Myra holding hands or hiding behind Elijah, he decided to prepare the legal document as soon as possible. He was sure Ronan would come in handy in this regard too. When he confessed to Elijah he would take care of Myra, he was nothing but sincere. However, deep down, he was afraid Myra would lookout for options to get away from his clutches.He knew what he was doing was wrong, but every accused was given a second chance, and in his case, he too was a victim of his mother’s game. He needed Myra’s trust just once, and he would swear he would take a bullet for her or their unborn child.He waited patiently for Myra to settle on the bed, and once he was sure she was com
Myra was surprised when she saw Abram ringing the bell instead of using the keys to open it. A moment later, a woman in her forties opened the door and greeted them.“Did Ronan give you the details?” he asked but failed to notice Myra still at the threshold.“Yes, Sir,” came her curt reply.“This is my wife whom you would be taking ca—” he abruptly stopped when he followed the woman’s gaze and found Myra still standing outside.“Myra,” he said, walking towards her and added, “this is Ann, your caretaker.”“I don’t need anyone since I won’t—”Abram interrupted her and faced A
When Myra woke up, she found herself to be alone, and the other side of the bed was cold, meaning Abram had woken a while ago. She was still in a daze, thinking about how she ended up in his apartment, but what could she do? This was her biggest chance. Knowing how stubborn Abram was when he wanted to be, she had to take the bait. Either suffer for three months with him or get stuck with him for a longer time. Not to forget, with the birth of the baby, it will be more difficult to get out of his claws. I only have to survive for three months with him, she told herself. She took a deep breath to start the day with a mission. A mission to not get influenced by him, a mission not to let him manipulate her already messed up hormones. “It shouldn’t be difficult. The worst has passed; he said he won’t touch me,” she murmured to herself while taking a shower. When she turned the shower off and was looking for clothes, at that moment, it struck her. Her clothes. She didn’t know she would
“And your return gift is ready," Myra replied with excitement that confused Abram, who could help look at his beaming wife from head to toe.Unfazed by the lack of any change in her, he marched towards her with his burning desire. grabbing her by her waist and said, “I know you are always ready for me, baby,"Before Myra could grasp or react, he pulled her closer and smashed his lips over her parted ones. Taken aback at first, she melted with the kiss but soon, she was brought to her senses when her hands holding the gift trembled. The more she tried to pull away and talk, the more he deepened the kiss. Reading her intent to break the kiss, he grabbed the nape of her neck and entered his tongue into her. It was only when Myra bit his lips did he break the kiss in surprise.
When Abram went out, Myra sprinted into action and immediately locked the door. She went back to the closet and retrieved the box. Her fingers acted on her own, and she found herself opening the lid against her nagging conscience. She inhaled deeply when she found the pictures and the messages still intact. To her horror, the empty packet of condoms used that night was still enclosed in the last box. “He still kept it with him; why?" she asked no one. “Maybe by mistake, it was left behind. What was I even thinking that He had kept it as a souvenir?" she mentally slapped herself for letting a mere memory cloud her rationality. Keeping the box back in its place, Myra pulled the clothes out that Abram got for her. Pink! “He thinks buying clothes in my favorite color will make him win. Keep dreaming," she said, caressing the soft cloth. When she came out of the room, she found Abram sipping his tea while scrolling through his phone. Hearing her footste
Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know.That something wasn't right here?Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go.And now you're out of sight, yeah.Show me how to want it to be.Tell me, baby, 'cause I need to know now, oh because.My loneliness is killing me (and I).I must confess I still believe (still believe).When I'm not with you, I lose my mind.Give me a sign.Hit me, baby, one more time.
It was already afternoon, but Myra’s mind was restless, recollecting Elijah’s hurtful expression. She knew what she said to him was harsh, and instead of helping him convince Sharon, she ended up hurting him. He was his rational voice and had always looked out for the best for her, and she vented Abram’s frustration on him for no apparent reason. True, he shouldn’t have left her alone with Abram, but Elijah didn't do anything without a concrete reason.She was brought out of her trance when a housekeeper said, “Ma’am, your fruit salad."“But I didn’t ask for it," she replied, glancing at the bowl.Maybe Sharon ordered for me, she thought, and as if on cue, at that moment, her phone rang, displaying Abram&rsquo
“Did you just say us?" Sharon asked with a raised eyebrow surprising Myra at her own words.Since they chose the corner table away from the crowd, their conversation was private from the rest of the crowd.“No..no, I mean," Myra stammered, gaping at her friend.“Myra, it’s okay! I understand. I am always there with you whatever you decide," Sharon comforted, patting her palm.“No, you don’t understand." Myra let out a groan in frustration, slumping in her place.“I don’t understand anything nowadays," she murmured, raking her hair.Shar
“No, it’s perfect,” Myra said, both oblivious that they were still holding their hands while looking into each other’s eyes with love. However, their moment was broken when a nurse came in carrying their son Amayr, and the room was filled with his whimpers. Myra couldn’t believe a few hours ago, she was still carrying her baby, and now she could hold him. Her chin wobbles overwhelmed with emotions. Abram went behind Myra, supported her back over his body, and gestured to the nurse to bring their child. Myra could see his pink fist poking out of the cover while whimpering in annoyance. She smiled widely and let out a giggle, making her welled eyes start trailing. Her breath hitched in her throat, and she started crying, seeing her innocent son staring at her with curiosity. “He got your eyes,” she whispered barely audibly. “But he looks exactly like you,” he rubbed her back to calm her. She was shivering with rising sentiments for her child, and his warmth proved to relax her tensed
Myra stood frozen in her place even when Elijah lay unconscious on the floor. Pain, anger, frustration, and every emotion rushed through her. She didn’t know what would happen to her or how she would deal with the aftermath of going through so much, but she couldn’t care less. She was done with being the damsel, with people breaking her trust. At that point, something snapped inside her. She was so overwhelmed that she didn’t realize the absence of her baby kicking inside her and a bubbling pain rushing through her spine. She didn’t even notice Daniel coming closer and untying her hands. She didn’t hear him talking to her rapidly. All she could feel was a sudden wave of pain passing through her back and abdomen. A heart-wrecking scream left her mouth as her body gave up, resisting the ripples of pain across her body. For a moment, the surroundings went blank for her; the only sound she could hear was her accelerating heartbeat. She knew she would hit the ground at any moment, but two
“You still haven’t answered. Why did you do all this?” Abram asked, clenching his jaw.“Baby, care to explain how he learned about you staying here?” Instead of replying to Abram’s question, Elijah grazed his lips over her neck in a deliberately slow move.Myra’s chest heaved in dread recollecting his earlier warning. After staying with him for three months and seeing craze in his eyes for her, she was aware of where her silence would land her and Abram.“I…..I.. don’t…” she shook her head when as a warning, he bit her shoulder before he interrupted her, “doesn’t matter now.”Abram couldn’t help opening his eyes at her wince and yell, “Stop fucking touching her!”“Oh, but I have been doing more than touching Myra for the last three months. Isn’t it, baby?” Myra wanted to refute it, but she couldn’t deny it. And even if she wants to prove her innocence, why would she do it in the first place? Wasn’t her image worse than a whore in Abram’s eyes? Wasn’t she just a toy for him to play wi
If Zara’s betrayal was a hit to him, it was nothing compared to the betrayal he felt seeing the person in front of him. Of all the people, he never expected him to be the culprit. “Weren’t you coming back on the next flight?” Abram asked, turning around and facing him.“Indeed I was. I was about to leave, but my motion sensor alerted me of your arrival,” he replied.Green orbs against black ones.“Why Elijah?” Abram strides towards him even though Ronan warns him to take cover.“What’s the hurry? Let me first welcome you properly. If my mother was alive, she would have beaten me to death for my lack of manners,” he chuckled dryly.“You can ask your friend to come out too. I am not armed. I am a peace-loving person,” he laughed over his joke.Ronan cursed Abram and pointed the gun at Elijah, who immediately raised his hand in surrender. “I am at your mercy, Sir; you can check me if you want,” the plastered smile never leaves his face. Zara was still kneeling beside him, not making ey
“Would you not invite us inside Zara?” Abram asked with a wicked smile.The fear and the hesitation on her face were enough to concrete his suspicion of her. When she didn’t reply, he barged in with force making her stumble back, followed by Ronan, who secured the exit. “What…how…do you know this place?” she stuttered, gaping at how her escape was blocked by a stranger.“The same way you came to know I was hospitalized. Funny, Dad told me it was you who called him that day and not the other way around,” as soon as he said, her face blanched.“Y-yes…I….c-came back that day and…a-and wanted to check about Ruby aunty,” she stammered with shallow breathing.“Oh, I forgot to mention, Mom is awake now, and she was asking about you,” he said, plopping on the couch and spreading his arms on the backrest.As he anticipated, she went rigid and gaped at him. “Zara, are you not happy hearing about Mom?” he asked gently, gauging her reaction.“I-I….am h-happy,” she forced a smile but was unsucce
While Sharon was moved to a normal ward, Abram requested Daniel to be with her while he checked on his father. For an hour, both father and son stood outside the operating room, waiting for it to end.As soon as the light above the OT’s door turned off, their stances went alert. “Congratulations, your wife is out of the coma. Everything went well, but we have sedated her for recovery,” Dr. James announced, removing his mask.“Out of coma?” Noah asked dumbfounded“Yes, Mr. Aly. Earlier, when her body went into shock, it was a reaction to the treatment, but still, we have to remove the clot to avoid future complications. Didn’t I say miracles happen?” he smiled, patting Noah’s shoulders.“We will move her into the ward soon. By the way, who is Zara? The patient was crying whiile calling her name.”The moment Abram heard the doctor, the missed piece finally was put in its right place. The surrounding blurred around him and his eyes flashed with determination. Inside Sharon’s ward:“Zar
"You are lying," Abram's rasped voice was heard.Daniel cracked up the next second and rested his head over his palm with his elbow supporting he looked at Abram with amusement."Let me guess, she told you that I left her? And what was your excuse to divorce Myra? I told Myra about Zara, but she trusted you. She defended you and said you never looked at Zara like that. With the news of her pregnancy, she thought all the misunderstanding would be cleared," he snarled at Abram."You knew?" he gaped at his friend."That was the surprise she was planning for you. I was helping her out. Isn't it interesting? You both divorce your partners at the same time." he added and noticed Abram's expression change instantly."I was made to believe Myra was having an affair with you, and she was carrying your child," when Daniel heard him, he froze, and the next second, fury took over him before he lunged at Abram. He pulled Abram by his collar and punched him one after the other."You bastard, is tha
Who said death comes only once? For the entire night, Abram felt his body being ripped and torn bit by bit. he felt the wait for the next morning was more excruciating than death. With every passing second, he was driven to the edge. Never in his scariest dream did he think a day would come where he would suffer more misery than death just by waiting for the next morning.Ronan assured him by morning that he would come up with a lead since they could trace the ambulance and get hold of the driver. He wanted to talk to someone, someone to share his pain, but whom could he approach. Elijah and Sharon finally started to live together; he couldn’t disturb them, and what was he supposed to say to them? A covered pregnant woman asked for help, and the only connection was the endearment he used to call Myra with.It was not the first time he hallucinated seeing Myra and searched for her like a madman. One such incident happened when Sharon was with him, who was aware of his madness yet didn
The day Myra heard the truth from hiding, she was dragged to the mansion and imprisoned. The intensity of the shock and fear of being unable to escape him made her quiver in despair. When she couldn’t take it anymore, she chose to end her life rather than let him touch her with his evil intention. But when her captor reminded her of the baby, she stopped, thinking about her child. For her, her child was everything, her solace to every pain she endured in life or to the darkness she was held in.She slowly rises from the floor and freshens up, knowing well if she was late, even for one second, he would enter the bathroom. He was already placing the breakfast on the table by the time she was out. At the sound of the door opening, he turned around and glanced at her from head to toe.“I sometimes feel envious of my clothes. At least it has a chance to touch your bare skin while I’m bounded by my promise,” he said with a gentle smile as if he didn’t just eye rape her and instead gave a co
