Yusuf's POV.
"Alas! I'm free!" The meeting was so boring. Still standing in his chair he called Rim his driver to pick him up and within thirty minutes he had arrived.
"Good afternoon, sir," he greeted and as usual Yusuf nodded his head to acknowledge his greeting. He didn't give a damn about anyone except his family. His family is his priority.
"Go," Yusuf commanded Rim. Entering the back seat and rolling up the window. Yusuf was busy typing on his phone and when he raised his head to look outside the window, he saw an angel!-a very beautiful angel playing and laughing hysterically under the pouring rain. His blood was pumping vigorously; his cold heart beating widely and his mouth wide apart. His mind was screaming, ‘she is mine! I will take her, love her, cherish her, protect her…’
"Stop the car now!" he growled out, not wanting his angel to disappear. Rim parked at the roadside. Yusuf watched his angel, how she was laughing in the rain. Within no time, he was he had started laughing together with her.
"Excuse me, sir, I hope there's no problem?" Rim commented looking at Yusuf through the rear mirror. He didn't bother answering him, because he was busy watching his beautiful angel.

Reaching the office, Yusuf called Royhan, his best friend.
"What's up guy, how you are doing?" He said through the phone.
"I'm fine but I need some help from you. Can you help me with Ali Sofia’s detail, please?" he had asked the ice-cream shop earlier about her name.
"Wow! You just begged? I can't believe it! Am I dreaming?" He said, sounding genuinely surprised before continuing. "I hope there is no problem?"
"No, there isn’t. Thanks, bro."
‘I can't believe I begged him,’ Yusuf muttered to himself as he dropped the phone on the desk before adding, "But if it's because of my angel, I will do anything". A few minutes later, a message popped on his phone-a message from Royhan.
Name: Sofia Ali
Family: Parent alive and one brother
School: High School Graduate
Friend: Maryam
Age: 18
Relationship: single
After reading her profile, Yusuf called decided to call his father well knowing he would help him out.
"Salam dad,’’ he greeted.
"Uhm, I want to tell you something…" he trailed off,tugging his tie.
"Yes, tell…" the dad encouraged.
"Uhm… You remember that day when you and mum hard on me to get married?" Yusuf asked rather nervously.
"Yes…so?".
Urg! Why is it so difficult?
"Actually I found someone." He said and closed his eyes in nervousness. Yusuf explained.
"Really? Wow! Who is that unlucky girl?" Dad asked playfully.
"Dad, I am serious." Yusuf exclaimed.
"Sorry. Ok tell."
"Her name is Sofia Ali," Yusuf revealed. and told him about her family and everything and he was pleased.
"Ok, I will try contacting her family," his dad promised.
"Thanks dad."
"It's a pleasure son." He could hear the smile in his voice.
Yusuf’s dad was about to disconnect when Yusuf interrupted.
"Dad, wait! I have another request," he cut in before hastily adding, “I want this wedding to happen before next week’’. He couldn't wait to have his angel with him.
"Why? Is everything alright?" he asked curiously.
"Yes dad.’ Yusuf assured.
"Oh, so my son is getting desperate to have her with him so soon?’ the dad teased.
"Dad!’’ he said in a groan accompanied with a short laugh.
The door to his office was knocked and he commanded the person to enter. His secretary - labibah entered. A middle aged woman who was dressed in a white Tshirt and a black pencil skirt. Her heels clicked the ground as she walked in elegantly. She was like a mother figure to Yusuf at work. She had Yusuf respect, she had been working with Yusuf's father before he retired.
"Sir, you've an appointment at 1:05 pm" She read out of the booklet while he grunted in reply.
"Is the all?" he asked tiredly, all he wanted now was his princess.
She was one in millions.
"Yes sir" the middle aged woman chirped.
"OK" he said dismissively as she wanted to open the door, he stopped her "wait".
"Sir?"
"Please cancel all meetings today" he spoke and stood up before walking out.
He needed to clear his head and the only way to do that, was to have a long drive. Then he thought of visiting his friend - Royhan who was a computer guru.
He arrived at his friend's office, the receptionist greeted him while opening up her cleavage and fluttering her artificial eyelashes. He rolled his eyes and walked to the elevator.
Why can females understand that no man what a cheap product. He thought.
The elevator dung and he went out of it only to meet with his friend who was putting on his Harry Potter's glasses.
"Bro" they side hugged each other before Royhan turned to just office.
They entered, Royhan called his PA to bring them refreshments.
"Sophia Ali, Uhn?" Royhan asked inquisitively because the Yusuf he knew does not date or have flings. Even though, he was an arrogant guy when first known.
"Yeah" he caressed his smooth beard.
"She is beautiful and quite knowledgeable. She is a good catch" Royhan complimented while Yusuf scowled at him.
"Don't you dare go there" he glared, "she is mine".
"ooooh, what did I miss?"
"Nothing" Yusuf bit out.
"Okay bro, what is the deal because I know you don't date" he spoke with seriousness while he shrugged his shoulder.
"I saw her this morning after my meeting with the Russian company. She is beautiful, she looks carefree this money. She has the sense of purity and innocence around her" he wetted his lip, "I want her" he announced.
"You know she's a property to want".
" I know that's why I want to marry her" he responded.
"What?" Royhan's mouth was agape opened because he was surprised and shocked.
"Marry her".

«No matter where or what you do, what is already written for you will always come true».«Marriage is a sacred bond from Allah, no one can tear it apart except for Him».«No one knows tomorrow except He who is Alimi gaybi Wash Shahada (The knower of the hidden and opened)».****I was finally getting married to a stranger; a stranger I knew nothing about, a stranger I never see before, a stranger who I only knew his name."Ya Allah, make it easy for me". I whispered silently.If someone told me or informed me that I would get married at the age of eighteen, I would have exploded like a time bomb. But here I was, well dressed like a true princess, when actually I was a pauper who only knew how to disturb and create troubles."Sofia, get ready the car will be moving in 10 min

I promise you».Yusuf POVTo say this lady in front of him, was not a beauty, it'd be a lie."Finally, she was mine-all mine! She took my breath away. Am I even breathing?" He thought.She looked like a princess and he would always treat her like that.He knew that she did not like him, but the way she was looking at him. God!He was fifty per cent sure that she would love him in a matter of time with the way she was looking at him.She was already attracted to his physical appearance.***Wifey was angry.Wow!"My feisty lionesses " he grinned cheekily.He liked it.

Before the weddingYusuf POVHe was checking the papers on his table when his office door was yanked opened abruptly.His best friend- Royhan entered with a scowling face and muttering some harmless curses under his breath yet he heard it perfectly.He was surprised because his friend often curses. Something must have happened. He chuckled lightly."What happened bro?" he asked him curiously with his brows knitted together.Royhan raised his head up and said, "I met a devil in disguise today"."Devil?" He asked while Royhan nodded comically as he held his red ear."I saw a beautiful lady this morning when I was coming. I was awestruck with her beauty, then I wish to meet her and.." he stopped, looking embarrassed with a flustered face, " Then, I followed her to the mall, waiting for her outside
Chapter 6Sofia Since my encounter with my husband, I'd been hiding in my room except to come out of my hiddens for meals.The room was so big that it had its own big jacuzzi, mini library and a dinner room. I loved the room, it was full of books that I loved to read.I woke up with a running stomach, I groaned and got out of the bed,tip-toeing to the kitchen to find something to eat. It was only food that could get me out of bed.I entered the kitchen and the aroma of brewed coffee made my stomach growl.Sorry baby, mama gonna feed you now,I patted my stomach dramatically.I settled myself on the counter, took two slices of bread with noodles, yummy!!.After the meal, I retracted back to my room, to dwell myself in my wo
Chapter 7Sophia It had been weeks since the incident with my period. I giggled, remembering what happened to my poor husband. He was stuck with me forever.****"Is this what I asked you to buy?" I yelled at him and threw it away,it hit him on his forehead. He could never feel the pain because it was soft and fluffy."Buu_t you didn't tell me what to buy" he stuttered, looking mortified while I grinned wickedly at the back of my mind.Pay back to the bitch because I never forced you to marry me and this is what my father used to do whenever I was on my period. I smiled evilly at my thought."I can't go back" he shook his head, as if he was trying not to remember what happened.Whatever who cares. I rolled my eyes"I don't care, I need it" I said s
Chapter 8Sophia We rushed down to the hospital, I and Yusuf. I was rambling and sniffing because I didn't know what the future held.I was scared."It's okay,he will be fine," he said,rubbing my back soothingly with one of his hands and the other to drive.When we arrived at the hospital, I rushed out of the car without waiting for Yusuf to park.I walked straight into the elevator without seeing the security man who wanted to question me. Yusuf stood behind, answered all the questions. I'd pressed the button where papa was before he jogged inside the elevator before it closed.I strode out of it and saw ummi ,uncle shuaib who was my maternal uncle and my younger bro. Ummi was on the floor crying while Uncle shuaib was comforting her.I ran to ummi and started to tea
Chapter 9Yusuf He had been watching her since the previous week that her father had taste to death. She hadn't cried out, her lips were always quivering and he always noticed a lone tear on her face which she quickly cleaned, murmuring some words under her breath.He was tired of this brooding even though she disliked him which was 100% opposite, he missed her. He missed her lively presence, the twinkled of her nose, the mischief in her eyes and the knit of her brows when she was concentrating on something. Or the glimpse in her eyes when she opens a new book to the emotional breakdown when her favorite characters were killed. He knew the pain of when someone close to us died but this was too much. She wasn't crying out, she was killing herself inside little by little.She was miserable.He'd called her best friend to come so m
Chapter 10Sophia "Adé mí*, your food is ready. It's on the table," I called out to Yusuf- my husband. (my crown).I didn't know what else I could do again. I was tired of making his life hell because he said it made him fall harder. He was such a cheesy cool guy.Since past months, I'd been trying but didn't stop myself from my wifely duties like cooking, maintaining the house, caring for him-because that was my duty.Well, I was grateful to Allah for granting me him because he was very tolerable, understanding and patient with me even after all my tantrums. He said I was a fire and he was a moth who was always drawn to me.He liked to tease me with every opportunity he had. He also cherished me with gifts and surprises, especially the bars of vanilla chocolate.Oh
