When Hearts Betray Chapter Thirteen
He stirred in his sleep, stretched and opened his eyes, he wasn’t sure, but he thought he could hear birds chipping outside or was he dreaming. Sitting up, it took about 10 seconds to register where he was. “How did I end up here?” He thought trying to remember. Then it all came to him, the night before, the fever, her barging into his room, giving him drugs, cooking that stuff she called food, all of it. Slowly, he got to his feet, the headache was gone and he felt slightly better than the day before. It was then he realised it was morning, he could see the rays of the sun as it shuns through the window, quickly he looked at the wall clock.“Subhnallah” he exclaimed as he realised what time it was, 10:17am. He was about to stand up when he realised she was sitting on the chair beside his.“Good morning to you husband, hope you had a good night rest? It must have been good considering how you slept like the fool you are.”Farhan stirred at her in amazement? “Why didn’t you wake me?”
When Hearts Betray Prologue
It was a dark evening with cool gentle breeze, the beauty of the sunless sky obscured by mocking rain clouds, the sounds of the dry leaves on the ground, complaining how unfair it was that they had been cast down from the trees and the response of their comrades, affirming to hang on and continue the struggle against the wind.The clouds had moved a bit permitting a little light from the full moon, that glowed into the distant lake below and the lake in turn returning the favour by reflecting the beauty of its heavenly counterpart. The deem glow casting a shadow upon the trees and flowers as the night grew darker; everything emitted such undeniable beauty and calm.She shuddered and inhaled deeply in the scent of the flowers, the lake, the sand and the imaginary scent of his person, closing her eyes she exhaled, as a beautiful tear drop saturated her chin finding its way to her slightly parted lips, raising her head a little, she stared at the beauty of the moon as the dark cl

The guards stood up abruptly, each trying to look serious and business like, they held themselves straight, while trying to adjust their facial expressions; occasionally, they looked at their uniform to ensure all was in order. Hard as they tried, on such occasions, they were nervous as hell, it wasn’t every day that the brat showed up, but when she did, she always gave everyone something to remember, or more appropriately, something one would rather wish to forget, but wouldn’t dare to, because of fear of a repeat. Walking up the few stairs nonchalantly yet majestically, ignoring everyone and their silly salutations, coming up the few steps to the door, she jerked her head upwards, tossing her hair stylishly in the process as she waited for the door man to get the door. She passed through ignoring them all as if they were non-existent.So far so good, it seemed today she was in a good mood, content simply with ignoring everyone. But they had all learnt from experie

The receptionist looked down and whispered in a very weak voice as he passed her, “I am sorry sir; I really tried to stop her”. He paid no attention to the receptionist and walked straight for his office.Flashing everyone a crooked smile, Risha turned proudly and walked into her father’s office.The receptionist hurried back to her seat wiping the sweat from her fore head with a handkerchief.“Risha what is wrong with you” Alhaji Shehu demanded, as soon as Risha walked in and closed the door behind her.“What?” she asked raising her hands innocently, “what have I done wrong?” She asked rolling her eyes.“Everything” he said weakly, slumping into his comfortable chair, his hands over his face. He stayed that way for almost a minute.“Uhm dad, am still here you know?”He brought his hands from his cheeks to rub at his temples, a tired look on his face. &l

Risha froze at her place, the voice and those words stimulating something deep inside her being. She turned and a slight involuntary gasped escaped her slightly parted lips, hardly audible to anyone but herself. It was the person her father had been speaking to. He was a young tall figure, with sharp serene eyes, lean figure, frank looking face and beautifully pointed male nose, not too build but not bad looking either, he had those exceptionally handsome face features calm piercing eyes, small thin lips and thick brows, that made ladies stare, just as she was doing now.She tried failingly to stop her heart from analysing the enigmatic wonder before her. He was smiling charmingly at her a few steps away; he had come to stand close to the secretary.Risha quickly looked away, blinked quickly as she tried to regain her rattled composure. She realized he was still speaking. “If Hanifah was rude to you, then I am apologizing on her behalf” he said smiling at her.

She tossed and turned restlessly in the giant-sized bed, it was around 2am and still she hadn’t had even a wink of sleep. “The idiot” she spoke, hissing to herself, “…the arrogant bastard, confident sycophant, the fool…” Ever since she left her father’s office earlier yesterday, her entire being had been boiling with anger and frustration, something she herself found hard to explain, this wasn’t just normal anger, it was anger decorated with a certain unnatural unexplainable hatred.“Aaaarh!!!” She scoffed in disgust remembering the confident smile on his lips, the piercing sharp eyes…the long dark brows…, she closed her eyes covering her face with her palms, rolling over, her beautiful locks making a pillow for her face. As angry as she was with the idiot, she was angrier at herself for how she reacted, for the way she had lost her control and composure.“It’s his entire fault&rd

Farhan just stared at her, becoming more surprised at her behaviour, “Miss?” He prompted, “Excuse me are you ok?” He inquired standing up, when she didn’t reply, he went over to her, standing a reasonable distaste away. “Miss are you alright?”Then she turned slowly, her eyes blazing with super human anger, “I warned you, didn’t I? Told you would regret your actions.”“Sorry?” his face showed just how surprised he was.“No one talks to me like that and goes scot free, now I will show you the consequence for your actions”.
