LOGINAmaan's face snapped to the side from the force of the slap.Right on cue, the power returned. Asmaira closed her eyes for a moment, overwhelmed by the sudden light. When she opened them, she saw Amaan staring back at her—her handprint stark on his cheek. But what truly captured her attention? The intense emotions swirling in his emerald eyes.The last time she saw him, those same eyes were filled with a deep, rooted hatred that promised her ruin. And he had certainly kept that promise.He had taken everything from her, yet he stood there looking wronged, wounded. He looked like he had been yearning for her, when the truth was he had abandoned her.
Headlines flickered across the plasma TV in Heaven’s lobby, casting restless light over the room.“The weather is likely to turn worse with the heavy rainfall due to the storm in the nearby state. The city is on orange alert. We request the citizens to stay home to avoid any calamity."While the news played in the lobby, Asmaira was busy making dinner for all three of them, with Lexie entertaining her with her usual chatter. Asher, on the other hand, was working on the project details in his cabin, unaware of the warnings broadcast earlier.*****“Amaan, Asher missed signing on one of the pages in the contract. The pages were stuck together. Unfortunately, without it, the legal team cannot proceed," Talia said as soon as she reached Amaan’s
Amaan’s name made Lexie frown. She turned to Asher. "That reminds me: I took a big risk to help you see her. What did you do—just bitch about me?"She jabbed her finger into his chest. "You ungrateful ass—you were whining about me the whole damn time, weren’t you?"“I didn’t know what else to say to her. You don’t mind me talking you up, right? After all, you’ll be pocketing a bonus this month for all that hard work,” he said with a mischievous wink."Really?" She blinked, then squealed when he nodded.“Now,” he pushed her away before sipping the tea and looking at Asmaira from afar, “go before I change my mind."Asmaira didn’t stop surprising Lexie
A petite woman lingered on the weathered terrace, her hair dancing in the gentle night breeze. After her trip to the mall, Asmaira tried to slip into her nightly routine, but sleep abandoned her. Restless, she tossed aside her duvet and drifted out to the terrace, thoughts swirling as Asher’s words echoed in her mind. Not all fingers are the same, not all men are the same. Nature has created everyone to be unique and different. So how can anyone categorize all men as the same based on one man’s behavior? She pulled the shawl tighter around her. How could she trust any man now? Kabir, Hassan, and Amaan had shaped her fate, each leaving scars. Amaan’s father was the harshest, ensuring her punishment came swiftly. Asmaira let out a weary sigh. The first time she saw Asher, he had this bright aura around him. The liveliness that surrounded him was shaking her resolve. When she was given a second chance, she promised to buil
While Amaan wrestled with restlessness, Asmaira watched the movie, completely unaware of Asher’s focus on her.Throughout the movie, Asher’s eyes remained on the screen, but his attention was fixed on Asmaira’s every subtle movement.How many times she laughed - 0How many times she smiled - 0How many times she cried - 0How many times was she in awe - 0Meanwhile, Lexie and Ayaan’s laughter, sniffles, and expressions of awe were crowding the other side of him. Asher wondered if Asmaira had ever laughed in her life, or if she had been born stoic.The thought triggered a memory of a grumpy child at the mall, making him chuckle. Noticing, Asmaira glanced at him uncertainly. He quickly hid his amusement, straightened up, and shook his head. How could Asmaira possibly be related to Amaan’s daughter?As the credits rolled and the mood shifted, Lexie pinched Asher on the waist seeing him grab his car keys from his pocket.He hissed, ready to retort, but when Lexie gestured toward Asmaira c
“Stop!" Lexie screamed.The cab came to an abrupt stop, startled gasps echoing. The driver turned, his voice shaking. “What’s wrong?”Asmaira held Ayaan in her arms just in time to protect him from falling when the cab skidded to a halt.“I want an ice cream,” Lexie announced. Asmaira stared at her, incredulous. "What?!" she huffed.Lexie quickly plastered on a fake smile and nudged Ayaan. "Asmi, I want to have an ice cream from Robins, and I’m sure Ayaan too would love to have."Drooling at the thought of ice cream, Ayaan too chimed in, “Yes, Robin’s ice cream."“You are impossible, Lexie!” she glared, adjusting Ay
