-----------------------Los Angeles, California
--------------------------- Present day( Olyster textiles)
" So why did Brandon call this urgent meeting?" GrandPa Julius asked as we walked together to the Board room. I had no idea why he was calling a meeting, he only said it was urgent and all board members needed to attend, he was already in LA, on his way to the office. " I have no idea GrandPa, I guess it's something good" I said as we walked into the board room and were greeted. I took my seat beside GrandPa and we had to wait for a little why before Brandon arrived. " Good day sir" the others greeted as they got up as Brandon entered the room. " Good day everyone please take your seats, Son, GrandPa" Brandon said as he hugged both I and GrandPa. He considered me his son, even though I couldn't bring myself to see him as father figure for me. " Everyone I called this meeting to announce that we will

--------------Los Angeles, California ------------------ Same day( Olyster residence ) I slowly opened my eyes and tried adjusting them to the light. I looked at the familiar small dark eyes that were looking deeply into mine. I really couldn't believe I could ever see pity in his eyes. He was soaked. He saved me. After pushing me into the pool. Strange. " Are you okay?" I could feel a hint of concern in his voice. I nodded and rose my back up from the bed. I wasn't in my room, this obviously looked like his room. There were different photographs all around, the room was painted white and I was lying on a big white bed. " I couldn't let you die, I'm sorry " He was apologising, sincerely. Maybe this was the start of our friendship I guess. I smiled at him and watched him smile back. I tried avoiding his gaze as he stared at me intentl

-------------Los Angeles, California. --------------------Same night( Olyster residence) " Khalid why the hell did you embarrass our new clients?" Brandon raged immediately he saw me walk inside the house. I wasn't in the mood for this, if he wanted to argue, I was going to use my fists. " You were going to do same if you knew who he really was" I answered back. " Khalid son, what happened to you, where have you been?" I heard mother panic as she ran down the stairs. It was just 7pm. How could that be late?. " What's all the noise for?" GrandPa Julius as he came out of the study. Why were they all ganging up on me. " Son, are you okay?" Mother asked as she checked my face for any bruises. " I didn't get into any fight mother, I needed some time alone, that was all" I answered. I had gone to the mall to get Faryahs diary and left to my hideout. By a small lonely stream. " Father, Khalid here declined a

--------------Los Angeles, California --------------------- Same night (City Hall) I loved the way Mufti Menk spoke. His topic today was on the proper way to take care, to maintain a good relationship and show love to your spouse. His words got to me and all the way through the sermon all I could think about was Khalid. I had to admit to myself that I was falling in love with Khalid. He had something in him that drew me closer to him. I wanted to get to know him more. The sermon ended at 6 sharp, Sophia said she was going to be waiting for me outside. I walked out of the hall and stood outside towait for Sophia. I checked my phone for any text from her and I got nothing. Maybe she was stuck in traffic or something. I decided to go back inside the city hall to sit and wait. It was getting late. Where could Sophia be?. I really hoped she hadn't forgotten about me. Ting!

-------------- Los Angeles, California. ------------------------- Next morning( Lily Specialist hospital) " Khalid, you should go home and rest, the night was long" Mother said as we came out from the lab, after donating some blood for Faryah. I didn't want to leave her side. I didn't want the culprit to attack her again. " Yes Son, you should go, I called up Sumayyah and let her in on what happened, they'll be praying for her" Brandon said as we all walked side by side together. " I need to go to the police station first, Sophia's coming with me, the culprit needs to pay for what he has done to Faryah" I said as I held my arm, where the syringe went through. I wasn't a big fan of needles but anything for Faryah. " Sure, I'll cooperate" She answered and I smiled at her. "I'll be expecting you at the office later on son" Brandon said as he patted my shoulder. I wasn't going to concentrate well in the off

------------ Los Angeles, California -------------------- Same morning( Olyster residence) I made sure the hot water ran all through my body parts. Thank goodness we were occupied with Faryah, no one noticed my bandaged hand. I got out of the shower and tied a towel round my waist. I took my dryer from the shelf, dried and styled. I used my body lotion and used my antiperspirant. I used disinfectant on my knuckles, it was healing, I didn't need a bandage anymore. I took out a grey blazer and black pants, with a black body hug shirt. I put them on and wore my socks, shoes and watch. I put my phone in my right pant pocket and looked at the mirror. I knew I was a very handsome man, I took most of my features from my mother, others from my father. My father. I didn't want to think about him now. I walked out of my room and passed by Faryah's. I unbelievably missed her. I rarely talked to h

----------Los Angeles, California ----------------( Same day) Lily Hospital. " Get out of here" I growled at him as the security ran to us. I watched as he struggled to get up and clean his bloody face. " I only wanted to sort things out with you two, please listen to me" He begged as he tried to move closer to us. I hid mother behind me and growled at him again. " Just leave" the security came towards us and David signalled that it was okay. " I'll see you again Zainab" He said as he turned to go. " Don't even think about it" I shot as he walked out. " Mother are you okay?, did he hurt you?" I asked as I scanned through mothers body for scars or bruises. She hid them perfectly back in Turkey. " I'm fine Son, you didn't need to hurt him" She said as she looked at my face for bruises. " he needed to be beaten, we should file a case against him for harassment" I said as I cupped her pretty face. " that’s

----------------Los Angeles, California ---------------------- Olyster residence( same night) I staggered as I walked into the mansion, I was broken. I needed Pamela by my side. She was the only one i could think of right now. I pushed the door open and walked to the living room, throwing myself on the couch. She was throwing away all the years we spent together, she was throwing the memories and promises all away. As if it meant nothing to her. It was my fault for lying, but it wasn't a valid reason for her to break up with me. It was not a valid reason for her to throw everything away. My eyes were red from all the tears that poured out of them. I was so hurt. " Khalid?" That was Neill. My nice step brother. His voice had a touch of class, easy to recognise anywhere. " Sup" I answered, not even trying to look at him. I heard him sit beside me. " What's up dude?, Fa

---------------Los Angeles, California -------------------------Lily's hospital ( Same night) I couldn't let her die. I felt the tears profusely escaping my eyes and rolling down my cheeks. They needed to revive her, no matter what. I couldn't lose her, I couldn't. " Faryah!" Sophia screamed as she tried going back into her room. " Sophia stop" I said as I managed to hold her back. " She can't die Khalid" She cried as we watched the doctor try reviving her. We watched as a nurse rushed out from the room and came back almost after 5 minutes. The doctor finally gave us a thumbs up and I let out a deep sigh. They were injecting something into her again. Sophia was still crying. " I don't know what would've happened to me if we lost her, I would have forever blamed myself" She said as she cried into my hoodie. " It's okay, she's safe now" I consoled her as I patted her soft black hair. The
