❣️ Safiya Pov ❣️
The only thing I could come up with was to get into the road, It's the only way to get closer to him. I just hope this plan works out,I don't end up dead. I stood by the roadside and waited till their car drove near before jumping.
The car hit me hard knocking me off my feet, I grunted,shit that hurts. The last thing I heard before blacking out was ..
"Oh My God! You hit a fucking girl!"
"I didn't see her, she just.."
"Jeff I don't have time to listen to your excuses, we need to rush her to the hospital."
~~~~
I found myself in the hospital when I woke up. I reminisced over what happened, yeah I've been hit.
"You're up, can you tell me your name? I'm doctor Blake"
" Where am I ? " I asked feigning Amnesia.
" You're in New York City Miss, can you please tell me your name? "
" My name is... " I frown, scratching my nape, wincing alittle at the pain in my hand. "I can't remember, I can't remember my name. Oh my God, who am I? Do I have.... "
" It's okay miss, don't stress yourself out, I'm sure you're suffering from temporary Amnesia. Your memories will come back, you just have to take it easy. There's someone here to see you"
" Someone? " Oh better tell me it's Aris cause I might end up killing anyone right now. I laid back on the bed and pretended I was staring at the ceiling, just like a patient will do.
The doctor left and came back with Aris.
I sat upright, gazing at him uncertainly
"Are you the guy that brought me here? Are we related? Married? Please tell me you know me,I don't even know my name!..I don't" I gasp blinking tears from my eyes
"Hey... It's okay, you'll be staying with me now till you get your memories back"
Finally!! That's what I've been waiting to hear, we're getting somewhere. Daddy will be very pleased with me.
I gave Aris my killer smile "Really? I can really come stay with you? "
He gave a small nod " Yep now lay down back and get some rest we'll be leaving in the morning" Argh.. I really hate it when someone tells me what to do except dad of course.
I laid down and even my breathing, pretending I've fallen asleep. Then I eavesdrop on his phone call.
"Hello mother.. yes he wants me to come back by month end"
Ha! Too bad you'll be dead by then
" Mom, I'm not ready to get married yet, please help me talk to dad... Okay.. love you"
There was silence after he ended the call before I heard his footsteps coming towards me. The bed dipped beside me and I felt his breathing on my face.
He lightly touched my face "Why do you look familiar? Like I've seen you somewhere before... "
I held my breath, God don't let him recognize me. I was hoping he wouldn't suspect a thing because I wasn't dressed in my princess dress or adorn with jewelries.
"Well I guess I'm just stressed out"
He trailed his finger from my forehead to my nose and stopped on my mouth. Then I felt his breathing near me. What the fuck is he trying to do?
I felt his lips on mine and felt like smacking him. The hell? This guy just stole my first kiss. Does he know who I am? I'd so make his death slow and agonizing. He pulled back and muttered' beautiful'
I got lured to sleep with the sound of his breathing.
⚜️Aris Pov ⚜️
I don't know why I kissed her, must be the fact that I didn't get to fuck that whore. Or that she looked so pretty and peaceful, I couldn't resist claiming her pink lips.
A thought pop into my head when mom called, she doesn't even want to listen to my complains about getting married, she's in support with dad but I glanced at sleepy beauty and realized what if...
She could be my wife till she regains her memory but what if she's married? What do I do then?
I shook my head and got into the small bed with her, let's just wait and see how this goes before month end.
~~~~~
A blow in my tummy got me sitting upright, what the hell? I glanced at the girl to see her sleepy peacefully. I frowned, that was weird.
I shrug and lay back down.
I drifted off to sleep and it didn't even get to an hour when something pushed me off the bed. I landed hard on floor with a thud. I became alert immediately and glanced at her, she had occupied the whole space. Jeez what kind of girl sleeps like this? Guess the bed wasn't big enough for her.
I glanced at the time to see that morning was approaching, I decided to give Drew a text telling him to get the car ready. I got up and walked out of the room to meet the doctor.
❣️ Safiya Pov ❣️
What? He kissed me that wasn't enough for him, he still had the guts to get into my bed, well.. hospital bed, whatever.
I occupied the whole space after pushing him off and waited for what he'd do next. Surprisingly, he walked out of the room. I opened my eyes and thought of a new scheme Yeah I've finally gotten close to him, I need to figure out how to kill him and go back to Egypt. I hate it here already.
I turned to the door when I heard footsteps. It opened and Aris walked in.
"You're up"
I gave him a small smile "Hi, how was your night?"
I chuckled inwardly as he glanced at the bed then me "It was great" A few minutes of awkward silent passed between us before he spoke up. "What can I call you since you don't know your name? "
" I am Fiya, your death"

"So you are saying the man that killed our parents and took you away, is her husband?." My sister asked in shock, ohhh... I can get use to calling her sister. "Yeah. And I just got to know recently that he isn't my father. I can't believe I have been living with my parents killer all this while." I spat out hatefully, my fist tightened. "Our parents, had taken me to aunt Lou house. She's our aunt, mum sister. You wanted to come back home, you refuse to stay with aunt Lou, you didn't like leaving mum and dad. And this is why I wasn't kidnapped or killed. Aunt Lou never told me that our parents were dead.. she only broke the news to me when I was thirteen, but before then I already overhead her discussing with some of our relatives on phone. I didn't need anyone telling me that our parents are dead." "Oh my, it must have
"Hey, what happened? What did the old lady say to you. Why are you looking so sad?." My mum asked all at once, Aris stands next to me with a concern gaze. "The lady said my parents are dead, and that nobody lives in that house." I explained resting on the bonnet of the car. "Ohh, that's.. that's sad. I'm so sorry dear, I'm so sorry." My mum tries to console me, hugging me from the side. I chuckled, "Why are you apologizing. I didn't even know that much. Heck, I don't even know them." "You might not have known them darling, but they are still your parents and this means you would surely feel the impact of their death even if you don't know them." My mum massages my shoulder slowly as she talks. "I guess you are right, I do miss them even without knowing what they must have looked like." I said in an outburst of emotion, at the same time hugging my mum tightly.. res
"Thanks for saving me Aris, I don't know how I would have got out of that situation back at the palace, if you didn't showed up." I said to Aris, as the both of us stepped out of his car. Aris had parked his car, at the other side of the underground tunnel. And now Aris has brought me to a safe house."You do not have to thank me, it's my pleasure. There's no way I would let anyone be the hero, if this show." He said in a really deep voice. I rolled my eyes.... "Anyway the only problem I have right now is... knowing where my mother must have run to. I'm so worried and wait how did you even know that I was in trouble." I asked him as the thought came to mind all of a sudden."I got to know that you were in trouble because of your mum. And she is actually inside the safe house right now." He grinned."Really, and you couldn't even tell me Aris." I hit him slightly on the shoulder, and then rushed into the safe house. I sto
"What did you just say Fiya. Repeat what you just said to your father minutes ago." My mum breath out heavily, her eyes already tearing."What do you mean mum, I didn't say anything... father and I was just talking that's all. Whatever you must have heard is not true, I was just having a...""STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP. STOP IT!!!. NO, no, no, no more.. enough of the both of you deceiving me!. Enough of the both of you hiding secrets from me!. Enough!!!!." She shouts so lodly, that the king and I had to shift back in fear."I know what I heard. I know what my ears heard Safiya. You said the king here, my husband kidnapped you and he has kidnapped many other kids. You said that, he wants Aris dead and so many other things my ears cannot comprehend." She turns around and wipes her tears away from eyes, shaking her head in disbelief."I do not want to believe that I've been made a fool all
"So you are saying, the girl we rescued who is your bestfriend, is actually working for your father." I uttered in shock, just after Safiya narrated the whole lauren ordeal to me. We are currently seated at the river side, this place is now our meeting place."Yes, believe me, am in more shock than you. I have know lauren since we were kids, and finding out that she betrayed me.. isn't an information that goes down well with me." I could tell she's sad by the whole betrayal thing. She must have really trusted lauren so much."So whst are your going to do now? Are you going to let her know, that you well... know who she is." I asked staring at her briefly.Safiya sighs staring up at the sky, "I really don't know Aris. I really don't know... but for now I won't say anything to her I just have to think deeply about the whole situation. And come up with a plan, on how to handle the situation."
"Ohh my dear Safiya.. you can stop with the act, cause i know your game already.. there's no need to pretend. Anyway, for deceiving me.. I can only promise that I would make you pay the hard way." He pats me on the shoulder twice, then walked away.I stood there rooted to the floor. I couldn't just quite wrap my head around the scene that just happened between my father and I. Did lauren really betrayed me? But why would she do that?I sighed heavily then head straight for my room.. I walked into my room, then locked my room door behind me.I walked into my walk in closet, the closet is really spacious.. it's like another room in here. I would say, it's almost as big as my room. Different dresses at their different sections.I stood infront of the gown section in the closet, then I shift the gown creating a space in the middle. I pressed a button on the wall, and the wall gave way.
