Before the wedding
Yusuf POV
He was checking the papers on his table when his office door was yanked opened abruptly.
His best friend- Royhan entered with a scowling face and muttering some harmless curses under his breath yet he heard it perfectly.
He was surprised because his friend often curses. Something must have happened. He chuckled lightly.
"What happened bro?" he asked him curiously with his brows knitted together.
Royhan raised his head up and said, "I met a devil in disguise today".
"Devil?" He asked while Royhan nodded comically as he held his red ear.
"I saw a beautiful lady this morning when I was coming. I was awestruck with her beauty, then I wish to meet her and.." he stopped, looking embarrassed with a flustered face, " Then, I followed her to the mall, waiting for her outside. On her way out, I talked to her and she abruptly left me standing. Then I followed her to her car but mistakenly hitting her on her butt. Sincerely, I didn't mean to" Royhan stopped talking, he was on deep thought.
What has happened to him? Yusuf wondered.
"Then?" Yusuf waited patiently for him to continue.
"Then...." he trailed off, scratching his head.
"Then what happened?" Yusuf was impatient now.
"She slapped me hard on my face" he replied cheaply, holding his right face.
The palm print was there.
Wow, the lady must have smacked him hard. Yusuf thought.
Yusuf was shocked, his mouth was opened, he couldn't close it.
"She what!!" Yusuf stuttered with widened eyes.
"Slapped me, after that she kicked me on my..... Then she...."Yusuf was short of words, he was surprised. The lady was an iron lass.
" This girl was really intimidating, she gave me chill around my body. She... Bang her car door on my face, only God saved my fingers from the car, it would've been squashed And I tried to tell her I'm sorry but she took off making all the dust to cover me. " He shook his head as if he wanted to forget the bad event.
"What if she is the princess you've been waiting for" Yusuf teased him.
"What" he shrieked, "she will kill me or probably skin me alive" he blurted out but there was hope in his eyes.
"You know? nobody knows tomorrow. Allah...." Yusuf words were cut off by a loud bang on his door.
"Enter," he said sitting straight on the chair.
A fair tall lady strolled in, with her head up. She was pretty intimidating. She glanced at the corner of the room and her expression changed to furious. Yusuf looked at Royhan and he looked like he wanted to pee on his body.
"You!!!" her loud voice boomed out, "what the fuck are you doing here?" she asked, grinding her teeth together in anger.
"Have I not make it clear that we must not cross paths again?" she took a long step towards him but stopped and shook her head.
"Before I forget, I came for you Yusuf," she said and smiled at Yusuf while Yusuf adjusted his tie.
She walked towards him and took a seat without him offering her. She sat and crossed her leg. Picking her perfectly manicured nails as if it was the most important thing in the world.
She cleared her throat, changed her sitting posture and looked at me hard on the face. She was intimidating, yeah he knew but this girl was... She slightly intimidated him.
A badass.
"You know Sophia Ali" she stated in a statement, his heart limped a bit. His angel.
"Yeah" he answered with a smile playing around his lips.
"Good" she looked pleased.
"Bros" she called, "I'm here because of her, she is my best friend and my twin sister from another mother." He intended to ask her but she interrupted him with a raised brow. Hang it.
She shunned him.
"I'm here to give you a warning," she said, her voice changed from sweet soft to deep threatening voice.
How could a girl have an intimidating voice? He wandered.
"My baby girl Sophie is the apple of my eyes. If you hurt her-I mean a strain of her hair. I swear to God I will find you and if I?" she shook her head as if she was pitying him.
He gulped, losing his belt a little.
"I will break your bones slowly, after that I will kill you then I will put you under my bed for you to decay before I give your bones to my Shepard dog. And trust me, I never talk without sticking to it. I'm a girl that always fulfil her promises and that's my promise to you. Do you understand? "She asked and he nodded his head quickly for her to know he was following her threat.
" Now, let's leave the story for the gods. I'm Maryam - Sophia's one and only friend." she chimed. Was she bipolar? first, she was threatening him now she was exchanging pleasantries.
"Erm... I'm" she raised her hands up 'leave it'
"Sophia is a meek girl- she has the courage of a tigress, adorable as a kitten and brave as a lioness" she smiled knowingly at him. Her eyes twinkled with happiness.
"Do you want her to love you?" She asked while he nodded.
"She's obsessed with kdrama, her favourite colour is blue. She doesn't have a favourite food also. I hope that helps you to gain her heart" he was really grateful for giving her the information he needed.
"Well" she dragged, "if you want her to be happy with you, just buy her chocolate." She grinned cheekily. "She doesn't like materials thing, you can't use the money to buy her love but just use attentiveness and chocolate. I swear to God she will fall for ya. Trust me" she stood up.
"That's all that I came to tell you but if you make her cry. I swear to God who created me, I will become your worst nightmare" she threatened.
Ohhhhh

Chapter 6Sofia Since my encounter with my husband, I'd been hiding in my room except to come out of my hiddens for meals.The room was so big that it had its own big jacuzzi, mini library and a dinner room. I loved the room, it was full of books that I loved to read.I woke up with a running stomach, I groaned and got out of the bed,tip-toeing to the kitchen to find something to eat. It was only food that could get me out of bed.I entered the kitchen and the aroma of brewed coffee made my stomach growl.Sorry baby, mama gonna feed you now,I patted my stomach dramatically.I settled myself on the counter, took two slices of bread with noodles, yummy!!.After the meal, I retracted back to my room, to dwell myself in my wo
Chapter 7Sophia It had been weeks since the incident with my period. I giggled, remembering what happened to my poor husband. He was stuck with me forever.****"Is this what I asked you to buy?" I yelled at him and threw it away,it hit him on his forehead. He could never feel the pain because it was soft and fluffy."Buu_t you didn't tell me what to buy" he stuttered, looking mortified while I grinned wickedly at the back of my mind.Pay back to the bitch because I never forced you to marry me and this is what my father used to do whenever I was on my period. I smiled evilly at my thought."I can't go back" he shook his head, as if he was trying not to remember what happened.Whatever who cares. I rolled my eyes"I don't care, I need it" I said s
Chapter 8Sophia We rushed down to the hospital, I and Yusuf. I was rambling and sniffing because I didn't know what the future held.I was scared."It's okay,he will be fine," he said,rubbing my back soothingly with one of his hands and the other to drive.When we arrived at the hospital, I rushed out of the car without waiting for Yusuf to park.I walked straight into the elevator without seeing the security man who wanted to question me. Yusuf stood behind, answered all the questions. I'd pressed the button where papa was before he jogged inside the elevator before it closed.I strode out of it and saw ummi ,uncle shuaib who was my maternal uncle and my younger bro. Ummi was on the floor crying while Uncle shuaib was comforting her.I ran to ummi and started to tea
Chapter 9Yusuf He had been watching her since the previous week that her father had taste to death. She hadn't cried out, her lips were always quivering and he always noticed a lone tear on her face which she quickly cleaned, murmuring some words under her breath.He was tired of this brooding even though she disliked him which was 100% opposite, he missed her. He missed her lively presence, the twinkled of her nose, the mischief in her eyes and the knit of her brows when she was concentrating on something. Or the glimpse in her eyes when she opens a new book to the emotional breakdown when her favorite characters were killed. He knew the pain of when someone close to us died but this was too much. She wasn't crying out, she was killing herself inside little by little.She was miserable.He'd called her best friend to come so m
Chapter 10Sophia "Adé mí*, your food is ready. It's on the table," I called out to Yusuf- my husband. (my crown).I didn't know what else I could do again. I was tired of making his life hell because he said it made him fall harder. He was such a cheesy cool guy.Since past months, I'd been trying but didn't stop myself from my wifely duties like cooking, maintaining the house, caring for him-because that was my duty.Well, I was grateful to Allah for granting me him because he was very tolerable, understanding and patient with me even after all my tantrums. He said I was a fire and he was a moth who was always drawn to me.He liked to tease me with every opportunity he had. He also cherished me with gifts and surprises, especially the bars of vanilla chocolate.Oh
Chapter 11“One thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemy”.~***~ I have been feeling amazing since I woke up. I couldn't stop the radiant smile on my face as I entered the bathroom for my daily routine. I performed wudu*(ablution) and face the qiblah*(where Muslims face when praying), pray two rakatain*(standing) Fajr*(dawn) and Subh* (morning prayer). After praying my obligatory prayers, I sat on the musolah* (praying mat) and ask forgiveness. May He, the one who forgives, forgives, pardons all my mistakes that I did intentionally or not.My beautiful smile never left my face till I entered the kitchen and started to cook my husband's favorite food. When I was through with cooking and arranging the dishes on the table, I went to his room to call him only to meet him halfway, looking unorganized."Your food is ready," I smil
Chapter 12Sophia POVI was drenched from head to toe when I entered his house that I called my home. I didn't know how I got my way home or how I entered the bathroom, removed my soaked dress and changed.I was heartbroken, I was hurt. My heart was bleeding with betrayal and my soul was crumbled with lies. All his promises of love and caring was just a game to him.I knew I was nothing compared to his handsomeness, wealth but why did he marry me?.It hurt.After I was through with my two nafila*(two volunteer prayers), I took the Quran and read it because I know that He who heals the heart would heal mine. The recitation soothing my soul and heart, luring me to a peaceful slumber.I woke up around 7:00 pm when I heard the horn of Yusuf's car. I got up from the praying mat, making my way t
Chapter 13Sophia POV"My ex." The word resonated round the defending silence of the house. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.Was he cheating behind my back?Why did she come back?Was he going to leave me for her?.Millions of unanswered questions swam in my head.When he noticed my unresponsive self he continued,"But it is not what you're thinking, wifey," he rambled quickly.My nose flared up. Lying again, how dare he!."Then explain to me, what is it?" I said calmly, trying to calm the rate of my beating heart."After I was through with the client, she came crying; telling me about her dead father and I was just comforting her, that's all. I swear to Allah, there's nothing between us. Everything was over between us since last year," h
