Abram knew today would be the day when the danger hovering over Myra would end, and the next day he would apologize to Myra’s father, even beg him if required. He got his lost soul back; the void in his life was going to be filled by Myra and his unborn child.
Just tonight, and everything will be alright, he thought.
“Tonight will be a fun night," the moment words were out of his mouth, he felt Myra’s arm around his waist, and he abruptly disconnected the call. Myra noticed he went rigid with her sudden embrace and couldn’t help but ask, “Is everything alright?"
Abram smiled, deepening his dimple, and pulled her closer, “yes, everything will be alright."
He looked at her with deep e
“And?" Sharon asked further. “And?" when Myra questioned her back, Sharon had to roll her eyes and point towards her aching butt, making her blush hard. “With the way you blush, I am not buying that he didn’t hit you there," when Sharon said, a familiar voice asked, “Who hit Myra?" Shock was evident on both their faces when Elijah confronted them. “No one," Sharon quickly replied. “Baby, you just said he hit her. Are you talking about Abram? Did he try to hit her in anger?" he asked in concern. Myra cursed Sharon and gave her one of the deadliest glares. “What she….meant is.." Myra stammered to find an excuse for the second time in an hour. “That Abram hit her with an idea to cover up her pending work," Sharon covered up with her confident smile. “Oh, so he was not angry at you?" Elijah asked Myra. “No, he said, he shouted in front of everyone to make them believe he is not being partial towards me," Myra half lied since it was indeed what he told her inside the cabin. “Good
Myra gaped at the scene before her.He betrayed her again but what hurt her more was that her instinct too betrayed her this time. She couldn’t bear to hear the next word of Abram and ran away. She kept chanting while running. She ran as if there was a monster behind who was hunting her.“Please don’t touch me," her pleading whisper left her mouth.Elijah could cover the gap between him and Myra with his long legs while Sharon was keeping up. What surprised Sharon was Myra’s reaction. She feared, out of despair, Myra would scream, giving away their hideout. Instead, she silently ran away. For her, Myra’s silence was like the silence before the storm.“Please don’t taint me," Myra kept running as far as her legs took her whi
A thick red was flowing out of the hole where the bullet hit George’s forehead, his eyes staring lifelessly at them.“Fuck!" Ronan roared, raking his head.“We needed him alive. God knows how many like him are still around." He kicked the wall in frustration while Abram was at ease, knowing he finally got his revenge. He not only avenged Zara but also Myra.After giving out his statement and the watch holding the recorded statement, Abram drove towards his apartment. A smile plastered over his face thinking there were no more hurdles between him and Myra. The only problem left to sort out was facing her parents, but he was ready for the challenge with Myra by his side.It was past midnight when he reached home. He quietly opened the door and saw M
“Myra, don’t be scared. I am there for you," Abram abruptly stood up and was about to touch her when Rayan pushed him back.“Don’t you dare touch my daughter," he yelled, and soon a group of neighboring men entered the house. It was clear Rayan had set them around in case of an emergency.“Myra, don’t be scared and tell your Dad what happened?" he sat beside Myra, who was crying hysterically.“I am pregnant, and he threatened me he will kill my child if I don’t stay with him," her hiccups resonated in the eerily silenced hall. When Myra’s mother gasped and rushed towards her crying daughter, Abram was hit with reality.“Myra," Abram called her with a broken heart.&l
“I know you were angry at me about last night. We will go out tonight. Anywhere you want to,” Abram still hoped it was all a joke Myra was pulling on him.“Denial will not lead you anywhere,” came her reply.“You said you will give me a chance,” Abram finally broke down.A chuckle was heard before she said, “I never said I will not divorce you.” He felt like someone harshly pulled the ground under his feet. The memory of him saying the same to Myra flashed before him, and the pain of what she went through at the time seeped through every vein of him. “Why—” he couldn’t speak, his chest constricted as if someone squeezed it hard.“Retribution, baby. What goes around comes around. You left me with unanswered questions. Now it’s your time to feel the agony I went through,” and with that, the call got disconnected.He hastily called back to tell her about his mother. He no longer cared what Myra would think about him. All he wanted was to tell her the truth and beg her for a chance. How
The moment Abram asked Zara about the letter, he could see she was struggling inwardly, but he was not in the mood to listen to anything else other than holding the letter. The pure fury she witnessed in his eyes made her shudder, and without any further contemplation, she walked forward and pulled out the letter from the trash bin. “Who the fuck are you to throw it away?!” he bellowed in anger, startling her.Zara flinched when he jerked up from the bed and stood before her in two strides. She was stunned to see him get out of the bed when he was struggling to even sit a moment ago.“I…” she stammered; however, he interrupted her, “Get out.” He said in an eerily calm voice. When she didn’t move, he said again in a raised voice, “Get the fuck out of here before I do something to you!”Zara took a back step on hearing his harsh tone, gaping at his changed demeanor. Without a second glance, she sprinted out of the room, wiping her tears. She couldn’t recognize the man that she thought
Abram frowned on seeing the familiar endearment he used for Myra and how it was written messily. It was the name he gave to Myra, and only both of them knew about it. Something clicks Abram, and he runs towards the same place that person bumped into him. When he came out of the doctor’s cabin, he knew that only his car keys were inside his pocket. When he thought back, he felt something was wrong with the dead body he saw.The moment he rushed towards the spot, he started asking the passersby and the nurses if they had seen a guy pushing a stretcher. He searched the entire floor as well as some house doctor’s cabin who were doing a check-up of the outpatients, earning a glare from them. To his sorrow, no one seems to notice it.He was sure it was not a prank played by anyone, and in fact, it was Myra asking for help. He dreaded thinking about what situation she was stuck into. When his frantic search didn’t earn him any result, he immediately called Ronan and narrated everything.“Are
The following day, Myra felt a rough hand caressing her belly while a warm breath fanned her neck. A shiver ran through her body, and she clutched her eyes tight in fear. No matter how much she tried to even her labored breath, the panic was apparent when her eyelashes welled up with unshed tears. The touch disgusted her, but unfortunately, she was not in a position to retaliate. Her heart rapidly beat inside her. She wanted to scream at the person lying behind her, too close to her personal space. She wanted to rip his hand that was touching her and push him away from her and her unborn child. Even her child didn’t welcome his touch and kicked harshly inside her. This kick made the person stop caressing the belly, earning a chuckle.“Our baby loves my touch,” he whispered, and Myra shudders in fear.“I know you are awake,” he said in amusement.Myra opened her eyes, and she saw her cuffed hands being held by him. She struggled to get out of his hold; however, guessing her intent, he
“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
