Chapter Seventeen
——Maryam's POV——
I felt a wave of loneliness wash over me as I stared blankly into my phone's screen. There wasn't a single reply from Cornelia and I didn't try to text her again as per Abdullah's instructions. But, my heart still yearned for her, and I wished I could do something for her.
Sighing, I got up from my bed and walked over to the door to escape the boredom in my room. It was nine in the night and I had spent the whole day praying or resting. It was finally time for dinner and like always, I wasn't expecting Abdullah to be home for it.
I walked outside to the dining hall and helped out with laying the table. "How are you feeling now, ma'am?" Mila smiled at me as she took a tray of boiled rice and placed it on the table. "Good, Alhamdulillah. Although it wasn't severe, to begin with." I replied just as nicely.
She nodded courteously and got back to

--Maryam's POV--Bright lights blinded me, making me furrow my eyebrows. The freshly-cut wet grass tickled my feet through the long pencil heels I was wearing. I stopped walking causing Abdullah to look at me."Why did you stop?" he asked. I adjusted my sparkling headscarf and long dress before looking up at him. "These heels are killing me," I admitted. Abdullah nodded knowingly, stepping closer to me and holding out his arm. "You can lean on me if that helps." He offered.I quickly shook my head, imagining the awkwardness if I accepted his offer. "I'll manage. Thanks." I started to drag my feet again, ignoring the pain. Abdullah continued walking as well. He was ahead of me by a few meters and it was better that way.I looked up at the grand palace in front of me getting blinding by the lights for a second before my eyes adjusted to them.

--Maryam's POV --For sure, the world had stopped. In a matter of nanoseconds, Zain had disappeared into the background and my eyes could only find Abdullah. My heart was beating nonstop and my face had turned beetroot red. More so because Abdullah stood in a similar situation.His dark green eyes had softened, his hair glistening and his lips curled into what seemed to be a mixture of a nervous and flustered smile. At the back of my mind, I could feel Zain smirking as he watched us with amusement but hell if I cared."We should return to the ballroom." It was Abdullah who broke our intense moment, making me blink. Somewhere in my heart, I felt very disappointed that the moment was over and I had to face reality again.The bitter truth that there was a stubborn snob named Noor separating the both of us."Yes, we should." I bobbed my head in agreement, not daring to let the disapp

——Maryam's POV——For a second, it felt like it was just my imagination but when Abdullah held out his hand with a small smile on his face, I couldn't help but confirm it. "You mean...you and I... Dancing together?" I raised an eyebrow at him as I asked him that, half expecting him to back out of it.Instead, he nodded. "Is that so hard to believe?" his tone was light. I stared at his hand weirdly, nodding slowly. "Umm...yeah." I said in a 'duh' tone but he looked like he had already predicted it.His hand scooped down and took mine, the feeling of his rough skin against my soft one returning. He started walking and I followed him, thinking about what had gotten into him. Not a few minutes ago, he

The wife, went straight to her room, taking off her itchy yet glamorous gown and changing into a pair of comfy pajamas and the husband stayed outside in the living room, busy on his phone.The night was still young as it was only ten o clock. They had left the party in a hurry before it ended. Abdullah sighed another time as his phone blew up again, the ring tone getting annoying by the second. He almost glared at the caller ID but picked it up nonetheless."Yes, Mr. Jones?" his tone had switched, becoming professional but polite. "Oh, I left the party due to an emergency." he stopped to let the man speak and started speaking again when he was done. "My wife, she wasn't feeling well.""You'll be coming to the meeting, right? We'll discuss this there, for sure. I'll be expecting you." He quickly cut the c

——Third Person's POV——Maryam ran a look around the shop. Seeing all the grand designs and clothes made her want to squeal but she controlled herself. "Are you sure you want to go home?" Damian asked her for confirmation which made her gaze shift to him from the surroundings."Yes, I'm sure. Thank you for this, though." she smiled formally, trying to keep her distance, especially since Cornelia had run off to the restroom. Despite Maryam insisting to go with her, she refused and left her with her chatty brother."But we've hardly been to two shops. If you're holding back because I'm a stranger, then please don't. You may not remember but we've met before." he said it so casually that she didn't notice what

Instead, she kept on peeking at him and tried to find any difference in his expression but to no avail.She had a bad feeling that it was the calm before the storm.What did she do wrong anyway? She just happened to meet her former senior and it was all unintentional. She didn't need to worry. After all, Abdullah cared only for Noor."Maryam." she was snapped back to reality by the order. She looked around just to find that

——Third Person's POV——The legs of the chair made a noise as a maid dragged it out for Abdullah. The breakfast table was laden with delicious food, enough to make anyone's mouth water. Maryam peeked a glance at him, putting a morsel in her mouth."Good morning, Maryam." Abdullah was the one to greet first. Maryam slightly smiled and nodded. "Good morning." He sat down on his seat as the maid put a plate in front of him. "Are you going somewhere?" he asked her, frowning at her perfectly pinned-up hijab and formal clothes.She nodded again, trying her very best not to act awkward after what had happened the previous day. "I'm going to school. I've already taken a lot of days off."Abdullah started eating but his eyes were fixated on his wife. She tried to look elsewhere to escape any questioning regarding their intimate moment. Abdullah still hadn't officially admitted his
