I never gave up on us •••• Arya's p.o.v. "Arya," he sighed out softly. "Don't cry, baby," he said and wiped my tears with his thumb.  By now we were sitting on the floor with his back pressed to the wall and I was leaning in to look at his face. I wrapped my arms tightly around his torso and nestled my head in his neck. Tears fell on his shirt dripping it.  "Ary-." I stopped him by putting a finger on his lips.  "Why this happened to you, Alim? Why you had to go through this pain?"  "It was in my face," he replied back in a leveled voice.

"Tom," I called out loudly in utter surprise. Feeling overwhelmed by his sudden appearance, I put my arms around his neck and hugged him tight.After few seconds his arms snaked around my waist and he hugged me back. A soft sigh escaped his throat."Where did you disappear?" I said, tightening my arms around him.He said something which I could not understand for I had been pulled away from him roughly and a loud voice yelled out."Get off my wife."I rolled my eyes at him and looked at Tom for answers but his eyes were glaring at Alim behind me.I felt Alim's fingers digging deep into my skin on the abdomen. I tried to pry his hand away but it only provoked him more as he grumbled loudly and cursed in a loud voice."Tom, where were you and what are you doing here?" I asked again."I dare you touch my wife or even look at her, you know wha

Following day, I woke up before Alim. Usually he wakes up before me and I'm sure even before the birds but nowadays his routine is changing. He sleeps for longer time.After doing my morning routine, I went into the kitchen and started making breakfast. Events from last night came in my mind.He had been furious when he observed I had stopped him from doing anything further. He was trying to pin me down with his angry gaze."What is the issue Arya?" He asked in an irritated voice."I'm exhausted already," I said cupping his cheek.Hearing my reply his eyes softened, and he leaned into me kissing my forehead and then laid on his side and pulled me in his embrace."I told you not to go to university. Take rest.""You are again up early?" I was brought out of my thoughts from his voice. I looked at him and he was drinking water from a bottle. 

The last night had been wonderful. It felt magical to be in his warm embrace after so long. I was lying in the bed leisurely and was sighing peacefully. Alim was in the washroom taking a shower to go to the office. He came out after 10 minutes wearing a towel around his torso. As soon as his eyes landed on me, he flashed a vibrant smile. One of the most beautiful smiles of the world."Good morning." He bent down and kissed my forehead. I inhaled his manly scent in, a piquant palpitation overtook my body. When he was going to get away, I speedily put my arms around his neck and locked our lips together. He smiled in the kiss and let me take the charge. When I felt satisfied, I pulled away from him with a huge grin and sat up."I love you," he said with smiling eyes."I love you too," I replied back.Looking at his face, I resolved I was blessed with the best. "Ain't

"What the fuck?" I cried to myself, cutting off Alim's call for the hundredth time now.  This man can really bring the worst out of me! After he openly insulted me in front of Suleiman, he went to have a lunch with some of his business allies. I walked out of his office feeling indignation brewing inside me for my so called husband. I couldn't bear sitting in his office so I hired an Uber and came to Zara's apartment.  She was making lunch for us as I volunteered to get Ibrahim from his school.  "Arya, tell me right now where you are?" He left a voicemail for me.  I
