Abram dreamt of a surreal place, completely calm and quiet. As he walked around the park, his gaze fell on a tiny kitten hiding underneath a tree, and when it saw him approaching, it crawled back.
“It’s ok. I won’t hurt you," he said, crouching before it and forwarding his hand without breaking eye contact with it. He couldn't hide the smile seeing the kitten resembling Myra. Slowly the kitten took a few steps before grazing its snort against his hand. When it got comfortable with him, it let Abram hold it in his arms. Abram started petting its head when it nuzzled its head on his shoulder. Suddenly it started moving violently, hitting him with its tiny claws.Abram tried to relax, but he was startled when he heard it say, “Leave me." He was stunned to see an animal talking like a woman. Then he felt something like a sting on his cheek. When his eyes snapped open with the hit, he saw an angry-looking Myra caged between his arms.“Mr. Aly, how dare you?! ifSharon rolled her eyes. Why does he have to have a dramatic entry every time?Daniel turned around, and the frst thing he noticed was how Abram was holding Zara's hand, his ex-wife. “Abram," he rolled out his name with a nod. His friendly smile turned into cold scorn when he saw them together.“Let’s go," Sharon nudged Myra, sensing the awkward situation.“Oh! Glad to know you guys are still meeting. You must be really happy now, aren't you, Myra?" Abram asked Myra, but he stared at Daniel with scorn.Daniel chuckled, “I should be asking you that question. You must be so happy to be with Zara."“Abi, let’s go. We don’t want to create a scene here," Zara, who till now was silent, pulled Abram.“Oh, daddy’s princess to the rescue now. Is daddy not spending money on your boy toy?" Daniel said with disdain.“Don’t cross your limit, Dan; otherwise, I will forget we were once best friends," Abram said with a raised v
With no energy left, Myra let Abram do whatever he wanted. What was the point of pushing him away when she didn’t even have the energy to raise her arm or when the entire office had witnessed the confrontation? The damage was done, and with that thought, she stayed limp. Noticing her hands dropping by her side in defeat, Abram stopped and moved away from her face. The view before him made him regret acting on his impulse again. Shit, I did it again, Abram thought. Realizing that he had stopped kissing her, Myra slowly opened her eyes and said in a low voice with a weak smile, “Congratulations! You won. You finally made me look like a whore in front of everyone.” Something in her tone made his heart palpitate in fear. He let go of her immediately, and she stagg
“Ronan, are you sure?” Abram asked his private investigator.“Positive!”“The number your mother spoke to that day was unidentified. So I dig deeper. I tracked her phone records and followed her. I saw her meeting George the other day. In our world, George is bad news. He has a terrible reputation. I don’t know what business your mother has with him. He is not a good man, Abram.”“What do you mean?”“He is a repeat offender, a felony. Apart from drug dealing, he forges fake documents. You name it, and he will make a fake document.”Something clicked Abram, “even DNA reports?”“I didn’t find i
“What are you doing here? Get out right now!” she screamed. Instead of heeding her threat, his gaze fell on her swollen eyes and red nose. He knew what he was about to do was wrong, but after what Ronan told him, he was afraid to lose Myra and decided to do anything to keep her by his side. He wasn’t surprised to see Myra alone as Ronan had already told him her parents were living with her sister. “Didn’t you hear me? Get out, right now!” Abram acted indifferently and handed her an envelope before resting on the sofa. “What the hell is this?” “Court orders. Now I don’t wish to end up in jail for not following the order. Since you don’t want to live with me, I thought I
Leaving Myra to rest in the bedroom, Abram walked out and slumped on the couch in the living room. He couldn’t sleep a wink last night while checking on Myra. He too, was emotionally drained, but out of the two, he had to hold the fort till he could talk to his wife. Breakfast on the table was kept touched while he lost his appetite, thinking about Myra’s state of mind.To distract himself, he grabbed his laptop to work on the pending task that needed his attention. Time went by, and he sat in the living room the entire day, doing his office work. Skipping his breakfast, he took refuge in the coffee to keep him focused. Before Myra wakes up, he plans to complete his pending task so that he will have no distraction when he is with her. He was interrupted by a call from an unknown number.At first, he didn’t answer the call assuming it was
When Myra informed Sharon about her call from an unknown number, she shouted from the kitchen to answer the call, thinking it was from the food delivery. What they both didnt expect was that it was Abram calling her. As soon as Myra answered the call, Abram, who was about to ask, stopped. He sighed in relief on the other side of the call but thought made him disconnect the call the next second. As he feared, Myra tried to escape the moment she got the chance. After witnessing what had happened to Zara, the thought of someone even touching his wife made his blood boil. “Who was it?” Sharon enquired. “They disconnected the call,” Myra shrugged. “You need a shower, babe,” Sharon teased, fanning her nose just to
Myra, who till now was smirking at her enraging colleague, froze with his words. She was in a daze when Abram stood beside her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.“Any problem here?” he asked, looking around.“I’m here to answer everything about kissing my wife, but,” he stopped deliberately.“Do I need permission from anyone to kiss her? If yes, we all shall discuss how you kiss your spouse.”The moment he announced, the floor’s silence was filled with a rustling sound.Ignoring the surprised gasps or hurried footsteps, he faced Myra, “We missed our morning tea. I thought of getting you one. I know how grumpy you become without your morning tea.”
The moment Ronan said, his grip on the phone tightened in anticipation. Every bit of him was screaming inwardly that whatever he was assuming was not true.“George and your mother are sitting in a coffee shop.”Something breaks inside Abram, although a part of him already saw it coming. But when reality hits, no amount of mental preparation can lessen the pain.“Can you record and share the video with me?” he asked calmly, getting a grip on his emotions.“Let me see if I could go near them enough to capture their voices.”Hearing no response from him, Ronan asserted, “we need to capture George alive, Abram; otherwise, many more will fall victim to his misdeed.”
