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.”
Abram, please don’t leave me. I can’t live without you. I love you. I abort the baby for you. Why are you doing this to me? What have I ever done to you? You did the right thing by divorcing a whore. Myra’s voice was stabbing Abram’s heart. Her tearful face, the hurt, and sorrow in her eyes pleaded with him, but he never cared. Every time she tried talking to him, he was blinded by the lie woven by Ruby. She knew how much Abram hated when someone broke his trust, and she played the same card to instigate him against Myra. If not for fate, making him come face to face with Myra in the club or her working in the same office, h
Dr. Sarah was Myra’s gynecologist for a very long time and under whose supervision she had her abortion done. Knowing she knew about her medical history and could be trusted, Myra went straight to her. But what Myra wasn’t expecting was the shocking news. It was only one night she spent, a night she regretted and the night that compelled her to lose her hope and love for Abram. She was lost and speechless; it was when Sharon nudged her and tilted her head towards the doctor she realized her face gave away her fear.“Are.. are you sure, Dr. Sarah?”“Well, positive. I see you are surprised; after your abortion last time, it’s good you took time for the next pregnancy.”She added, “it’s the perfect time for you to plan your pregnancy. frequent abortion or miscarriag
I had to gain his trust first, make him believe that I wanted to work on our marriage, and then make him sign the paper, was the only thought running in Myra’s mind. It was tricky, but she felt this was the only way out. Earlier she got played by him, but she will take things into her hands this time. Knowing how adamant Abram is by nature, she can’t fight him, not with the law currently in his favor, but that doesn’t mean she was old Myra who would sit back and do nothing. She would protect her baby even if it meant she had to pretend to be submissive. “I will do anything for you, even if I have to tolerate him around me,” she mumbled, rubbing her still flat belly. Elijah’s words were resonating in her mind, ‘not eve
“I will make the dinner, no need for takeaway.”Abram was surprised when Myra offered to cook dinner instead of food takeaway, which made him smile even broader; however, what he didn’t know was that Myra was dead nervous as if she was going on a mission, and to divert her mind, she offered to cook.Abram sat on the couch in the living room, reminiscing the time they used to have dinner together. It’s been more than 2 years since he ate food prepared by her, and he was looking forward to savoring her taste again. Gradually things were working on their own for Abram, and he felt it was not the time for him to talk about the past and spoil their present.He closed his eyes, moaning silently after tasting her food. He couldn’t help but say out, “It’s amazing,” to wh
“Please, please, no!" Myra screamed in newfound dread, shaking her head violently.Heeding no attention to her resistance, Abram continued to leave kisses over her neck and collar bone. Feeling the remnant of her clothes as an obstacle, he tears them before planting another kiss on her bra-clad swell. She used every ounce of her energy to push him, only for him to kiss her with fervor. When he loosened his hold on her wrists to unzip his trousers, she punched, but it only aggravated the already raging desire.Since the day Abram tasted Myra in his apartment, it was turning strenuous for him to stay away from her, and after learning the truth of her innocence, he had to put up every resistance for the sake of earning her forgiveness and trust. But something snapped inside him when he learned his naive wife was ready to escape him. Fear like never before ar
“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
