Possession 20 (i) The plan begins
"What is it?" She asked. "Listen," he took a deep breath before spilling out the whole plan which brewed up into his mind. "We have two weeks Zahra. Exactly after two weeks, we will be running away from your university. Running from haveli is out of options due to the security and Irtaza will not allow you to wander outside without him so the only option left now is your university. But Zahra within these two weeks you have to try your best to somehow gain his trust. If you have his complete and blind trust then no power in this world can stop us from implementing this plan. It is very risky. So far I've come to know about him is that he is a calculative man and if anyhow he finds you suspicious, even if only a bit of suspicion is present in his mind for you, we are unable to run. If he does not trust you completely, he will get a clue of our plan and then you will be doomed so Zahra you have two weeks to have his trust. His complete trust and after two weeks you will be mine again."
Possession 21 (i) Remorse?
Daniyal was in his room thinking hard about the present situation. Zahra was on his mind day and night. He wanted to somehow get her out of that wretched haveli and out of Irtaza's paws. The day when Zahra told him the whole story that how Irtaza coerced her into this marriage, how he slapped her, how he forcefully kissed and how he spanked her, made his blood boil uncontrollably. His heart filled with the fire of revenge. Zahra was the love of his life and when he came to know somebody else apart from him have touched her, it made the fire of revenge sprout from the pit of his heart.

Possession 21(ii) Queen of his heart
Both of them were in the car, driving towards a luxurious restaurant in the area. Irtaza was left awestruck when he saw his wife beautifully dressed up in black, coming down towards him. She looked like a fairy to him, even more beautiful than a fairy. And Zahra's reaction was the same. His whole aura screamed power and dominance. He was wearing a black tuxedo, his hair perfectly combed and his sleek black shoes, perfectly polished, reflecting the light in the room. Zahra was continuously fidgeting her fingers while gawking outside the window. She was always nervous in his presence. Moreover, Daniyal's words were lingering in her mind. She was scared. Many assumptions were going through her mind. She was afraid that Irtaza might get to know about her's and Daniyal. Many what if's were running through her mind. What if he caught her? What if he came to know about her and Daniyal's relationship? What if he got the hint that she is putting up an act of accepting this marriage? What
Possession 22 Pangs of guilt
Both of them were on their way back to haveli when Zahra's eyes fell on a man selling cotton candies. Her mouth filled with drool as she desirously looked at those pink cotton candies and she couldn't stop herself. "Irtazaaa stop the car!" She almost screamed causing him to instantly apply brakes making the car wheels produce a screeching sound, followed by the honks and screeching sounds of those cars as well which abruptly stopped behind them making the traffic jam. "What Zahra?! What happened?!" He asked worriedly. "Woh.... asal mein..... I want that." She said, cutely pointing toward the man selling the cotton candies. (I...actually) "Did you make the car stop for this?" He asked and she nodded her head sheepishly. His lips formed a thin line as he took a deep breath to calm himself down before releasing the brake and moving the car again. Zahra got the hint that he was angry and this made her panic immediately as she began to blabber whatever came into her mouth, which she
Possession 23. Under the starry sky
Soon the party was over and everyone went back to their respective rooms. Zahra on reaching her room immediately called Daniyal and explained her situation to him. "Daniyal I can't do it anymore. He is being so nice to me! Please find another way to get me out of this situation! My conscience is eating me! Daniyal I can't betray him! It's hurting my feelings. Please Daniyal, I don't want him to trust me! I don't want him to think that I've accepted this relationship! I can't put up a facade anymore!! It's enough for me! I don't want to play games with him anymore!" She explained in her troublesome voice. "Listen Zahra do you want me?" "Yes I want you but not through this way when I've to hurt someone in the process. Can't we simply run away?" "Look you're not doing nothing wrong-" "Then why my conscience is eating me?" "Only because you have a pure heart that's why you're feeling guilty for that monster who forced you into this relation. We've no other way other than this Zahra.
Possession 24. Forgiveness
"Forgive me," he uttered, his forehead still against hers. Zahra was gobsmacked now. Daniyal's words lingered in her mind. 'Had he for once, just once said sorry to you for what he did?' Now here he was, asking for forgiveness for what he did to her, and here she was backstabbing her. Remorse again painfully clutched her heart as her throat constricted with tears. Her heartfelt heavy as a sharp pain shooted in her throat indicating her tears were at bay. "I'm sorry for what I did to you." He uttered again. He would've died but never have said a sorry if it was someone else than Zahra. Her eyes begin to glisten with unshed tears as she looked at him and at last, a tear slipped down her eye. Tear of pure remorse, her conscience was eating her. One after another, they continued to slip down her face like a waterfall. She couldn't hold them anymore and out of instinct pressed his body against hers in a bone-crushing hug. She begin to hiccup on his chest as he massaged her hair and

From the very start, his heart always had compelled him to trust her which he did but the change in her attitude, her nervousness, her confession that night that she loved him was making him more and more confused. He was in a dilemma for the first time in his life.
