There comes a time in a man's life when all things must come to an end. A time when he makes a decision to take what he wants, what he needs despite the obstacles laid before him. I believe that no matter how long a man goes under the submission of another man, there will come a time when he will rebel.
And rebellion is the first step to freedom. A man will only be held down for a long time. But when he is free from all, it is to be known that he is free indeed. Free indeed.

Malik walked into his father’s office, each step a sluggish one. He was tired, mentally and physically.He was also prepared to put an end to his father’s demands if that was the reason his father had called for this meeting so late at night.“Abdulmalik,” his father said, looking up.“You wanted to see me,” Malik said.“Yes, sit down.”Sit down? Malik looked at his father. Was the old man sick or getting dementia slowly? Because he had never asked Malik to sit down when he summoned him to his office, not once.Still, Malik sat.“Today, I called you for a very specific purpose,” his father began.“That couldn’t wait till tomorrow morning?”“It could and would have, but tomorrow is when you have to begin.”Malik chuckled dryly.“How typical of you. You make plans and then I have to follow them, like your little puppet. Do

Genie tossed and groaned and tossed again as she heard the door bell ring.“Can you go get that?”“I’m dog tired. Can’t we just let it keep ringing until the person gets tired?” Jake asked, his voice hoarse.“It has been ringing for minutes now. I’m pretty sure the person is the persistent kind. I’ll go get it,” Genie said, rolling and falling in the floor.“Is that how you wake up every morning? A roll and a thud.”“How many nights have you spend here, huh? You should know by now.” Genie stood up, yawning and rubbing her eyes.“Come back to bed,” Jake grumbled, holding her wrist.“Let go of me.” Genie said laughing.She was a happy woman, she thought on her way to the door. She had a house of her

“And you said you could handle it?” Malik frowned at his brother.“Well, I didn’t exactly say so. I said I would make things better. Give you a better chance at getting her back.”“Did that happen?”“It would have if he had not been there. I was already getting her to warm up,” Zayed replied.“It was a bad idea from the start. What was I thinking. Coming back after a year? I should just let it go.”“Are you kidding me? We can’t do that. This is the reason why you told our father that he could do whatever he wanted with the throne. You are not giving up.”Malik glared at his brother.“You act like I went to her house and came back to give you a report. You were there when he strode out, walking like a man who had marked his territory. You don’t expect me to contend with that, do you? It’s clear that he loves her and she is happy. I’m not going to ruin it.”

Genie sighed, for the umpteenth time that morning and then sighed again. What was she to do? Making decisions had never been her thing, but when it came down to it she made them and stood firm to whatever decision it was she had chosen.She loved him, she liked him. He made her happy, he gave her heart palpitations. He was the calm she needed, he was whiskey in a tea cup.The easy way out was to chose who wouldn’t let her go in the end, right? The outcome she was sure of, the stability she would get at the end of the day. Jake gave her that. He was the calm in the storm, the anchor she knew she could rely on to never give up.Malik, she wasn’t the least bit sure about. He had given her up once before. But she could not blame him for it, he never knew she loved him. Maybe if he had known…She could not think about maybes right now. Maybes tend to screw up logical thinking and making rational decisions. But she could not let

Three years and counting…Malik walked out of the building, a smile on his face. Finally, he could have a good night sleep. He had been trying to close the deal for months now without any success. The sponsors had been uncooperative on his terms but he knew that his company needed it.Who knew that only a visit from his younger brother could make things different? Zayed had dropped in, as he did from time to time and had walked into the board room. Few minutes in and and he all of them laughing.But Zayed had not stayed, from the looks of things. His brother came and went as he pleased, and to places undisclosed. Trying to pin Zayed down to one place for as long as a week was a feat that could not be achieved.It reminded him of the time his father had asked Zayed to come back home so he could make him the next Sheikh. It had happened after several attempts to bring him, Malik back had failed.

Zayed knew he would get an earful from his brother and the truth was, he probably deserved it. He had been away for six months without telling anyone where he was. He didn’t expect them to understand why he had done so, because he had doubted his decision so many times in the past six months.But it was something he had to do. He had to find himself. Explaining that to Malik would be hard because his brother had offered him a position in the company and Latifah had requested his help, or offered to make him a diplomat on many occasions.There were just some things he needed to do by himself and for himself.He walked into Malik’s office and plastered a smile on his face.“Who’s excited to see me?”His brother’s scowl was enough to bring down rain.“Where have you been, Zayed? And don’t tell me someplace. You leave for that long without sending word to your family, then you should be able to ex

“I have to ask the obvious question here,” Genie said.They were all in Zayed’s house.“Which is?” Zayed asked.“Whom did you, you know, last? Or to be specific as this baby looks to be about eight to nine months old, can you remember who you were with a year and eight or nine months ago?”“You’re asking who I had sex with a year and eight months ago?”“To put it plainly, yes. We have to find out who this baby belongs to.”“I can’t remember, Genie. That would be like asking me what I ate nine months ago on a Friday,” Zayed told her. And he truly did not remember who in particular.“So, you must have been with over ten women that month?” Genie asked I’m disbelief.“Yes. Is that a bad thing?”“No, no. Not at all. It’s your choice. What it means though, is that we have a lot of work to do. A lot to figure out.”“And that’s

“So, how did it go?”Zayed jumped, startled. He had been deep in thoughts and had not noticed his brother standing in the middle of his office.“I swear, you’re everywhere. In my head, in my house and now In my office. It’s like I can’t get rid of you.,” Zayed told him.“Well, that’s true. Because I’m family and also your boss.” Malik smiled.“Such a sad reality.”“How did your first play date go? Did you get a kiss?” Genie asked, walking into the office.“You too? Do I expect this every time I walk into the office. Because I swear you two are ganging up on me,” Zayed groaned. And it was the truth. All through the week, he had been seeing them everywhere and hearing their chipper voices in his head. “My head is getting a little crowded as it is.&r
