Chapter Twenty-Five
——Third Person's POV——
The shivers that rushed through Maryam's body increased as she slowly stepped out of the building, Cornelia about a few feet away from her. The noon sun blinded her for a second but she quickly averted her gaze to the front where a big crowd of students was gathered.
She didn't bother calling out to Cornelia and Cornelia didn't mind since she was already moving ahead, pushing through students to see what the fuss was all about.
Maryam gulped and ran a long look around her as the others left her behind and she was standing there alone at the entrance of the building. Her eyes caught red and blue lights blinking on the top of a black police car standing right outside the bar gate.
"The police?!" she gasped and rushed towards the crowd. So many blondes, black and brown head students blocked her but she forced her way in, earning herself ma

——Third Person's POV—-The door was closed behind Maryam by Mr. Fred, the janitor. Abdullah sat down on the fancy sofa placed in the middle of the room, across the glass table. A few refreshments lay there untouched as if they were waiting for just him.Maryam looked around in confusion and surprise. The exquisite furniture and fancy look of the room smelled expensive from far away. "I never knew we had a room like this in the school," she said, still admiring the brown and red-themed room.Abdullah picked up a cup of tea, showing that he was used to all that, and took a small sip. "It's for special guests. The education ministers, donation-related people, and others. Don't think about it too much." He said, putting his cup down on the glass table.He looked at Maryam and smiled a little. Noticing that, she unconsciously adjusted her loose black shirt and grey plazo. There was a short silence when Abdullah cleared his throat."Aren't you

——Maryam's POV—-The next morning was dark and cloudy as if a calamity was about to come. I couldn't figure if it was because I was nervous about Tuesday arriving and the grand encounters that were about to take place soon or if it was a sign from Allah to turn back on my decision.But, I had done Istakhara the previous night and something in my heart was pushing me to continue with my plan. Without wasting more time overthinking, I quickly got ready for school.Once I was done putting on my maroon maxi and white cardigan with a white hijab, I pulled on my sneakers and rushed out of the room. When I stepped outside the mansion, my face was hit with cold air.The smell of slightly wet soil and the wet artifacts laying out in the garden seemed awfully pleasant to me. Abdullah caught my eye beside his black car. He waved at me and I walked over to him."Want a ride?" he suggested and like it had been a long long time since we were acting lik

——Maryam's POV——Noor tapped her long, neon green fingernails on the wooden table. She stared at me with an apparently bored expression but her eyes held a lot of questions and a hint of irritation. "Well?" she asked coldly. I looked at my phone placed on the table and revised my words in my head. I was waiting for that moment but weirdly, had my tongue tied when it actually came."I wanted to meet you, Noor." I started after taking Allah's name and quickly reciting the dua: رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي“O, my Sustainer! Open up my heart and make my task easy for me, and loosen the knot from my tongue so that they might fully understand my speech.”I felt much better after that as if a wave of newfound courage had overcome me. That Du'a always helped me when I was nervous and couldn't find the right words to express myself correctly. "I wanted to
Mending You And I (Halal Lovestory) Chapter Twenty-Nine
—— Third Person's POV—-Maryam couldn't help but think if what she was experiencing was the silent destruction after the violent storm. To her, it seemed like the lavish office she was sitting in was barren and the resultant chaos of the most horrifying scene she had ever witnessed. In her defense, it did look that way.And Abdullah sitting with a malicious silence didn't make it any better. Maryam looked around the office as if that would help kill her boredom because she definitely wasn't ashamed of what she had caused. Abdullah didn't know that, of course. He had no clue that his wife had done him a huge favor and on his next seven generations by exposing his cheating and lying, girlfriend. But, Maryam was content with that. She didn't want Abdullah to know anyway because in some way, Noor was asking for it and it was also nature's plan to put her in that situation. Maryam tapped her foot lightly on the carpeted, soundproof floor which didn't disturb Abdull

—Third Person's POV—The heavy main door of the Saleh manor opened with a thud and in entered Maryam with a bright smile on her face. Her light footsteps were hardly audible on the entrance carpet and she held the strap of her purple backpack placed over her shoulder. She didn't realize that her smile was still plastered on her face as she walked towards her room. Revising the events that occurred at school that day, she couldn't help but talk to herself and keep on grinning. "Ma'am!" A small voice interrupted her thoughts and she whirled her head around to see Mila looking at her with wide eyes. "I'm so sorry! I didn't hear you come in or else I would have rushed to welcome you myself!" she looked worried as if she had made a big mistake. "Don't worry about it, Mila. You know I don't know how to act like a proper, rich mistress. I'm fine even if you don't treat me like this." she assured her through her smile. Mila lowered her gaze and nodded. "But, I can't

——Third Person's POV——"Okay, I'll wait for you," Maryam said into the phone, checking out her fingernails, with a poker face. She spoke like it was the most boring thing to do. "Do bring Husna along. She'd like it." she continued, as Abdullah looked at her.He had settled on the bed after taking a shower and was getting dressed for work, all the while observing his wife as she talked to her mother and invited her to their house. He pulled on his sock when Maryam ended the call with a quick "Allah Hafiz" and put the mobile phone on the dressing table. She let out a long sigh and leaned on the dressing table for support, putting her hand on her head to show her mental frustration. Slipping on his shoes, Abdullah decided to ask Maryam what happened. "So, when are they coming?" he questioned. She adjusted her posture and brought life to her tone. "This evening. 5 o'clock. She was saying they would pray Maghrib here." she told him. Abdullah walked o
Mending You And I (Halal Lovestory) Chapter Thirty-Two
--Maryam's POV--The next few days were peaceful. I forgot about my parents ever coming in the first place and I had to admit, it was only because Abdullah made everything seem so normal that I couldn't make it a big deal even if I tried to.It turned out I was right. Of course, mother and father only came to visit me to exploit Abdullah's power and wealth for their own benefit. They had been evicted from their house and property because some social workers found out they were trying to adopt another kidnapped child from human traffickers to get paid by the government.The news made my body shiver.Abdullah told Rashid to crack the egg when father pleaded for him to help them financially. It was one shell of a scene but I was in my room, snoring my dreams away by the grace of Allah.It made me think; if it weren't for my foster family's wrong ways, I would've never been adopted by them from those kidnappers. And if that never happened, Al

——Maryam's POV——That was it. It was the last Fibre of patience I had left in me. I couldn't let him stomp over me anymore. I couldn't let him throw haze into my eyes and get away with it. I wasn't that weak. I stormed out, but my footsteps were light and I wasn't as furious as I had been while entering. The man at the reception stood up to greet me again, Rashid still standing beside the desk. He came into motion when I passed but with just a wave of my hand, Rashid stopped and understood that I was good on my own. My eyes were blurry and I had a throbbing headache that made my body tremble. But, I ignored it. The rush of adrenaline made my veins pop out but I kept on going. I knew I couldn't return to Saleh manor and step right into Abdullah's territory. He could easily indulge me in his sorry pleas and excuses and once again, I'd give myself to him.I texted Cornelia, telling her to meet me at a coffee shop and that it was an emergency. I knew she woul
