The bright sun rays illuminated her face. Its sharp light brightened her closed eye lids waking her up from sleep. Her eyes opened slowly and she woke up. She yawned and sat up, streching her arms. She got out of the blanket, whilst yawning, her brain still not recovered from the sleep. She moved towards the washroom when a jingling sound entered her ears, she took two to three steps more when a sudden tug on her ankle stopped her in middle of the room. Her half opened eyes moved downwards towards her ankle and she saw her ankle tied in chain and. That was then every memory from last night hit her like a truck. Everything from the start, from that horrible night to last night flashed in her brain and her eyes opened widely as reality hit her. She was in his mansion, in his house. And this chain, he had locked her foot, last night. What? Tears brimmed in her eyes. She was chained like an animal. She was caged. Caged by him. She moved towards the bed and sat on it. She looked to

On reaching there, she found her lying on the floor, fainted. She was trying to go for the door, her hair disheveled. He moved towards her and squatted down. Her face was tear streaked. "Fuck" he cussed and screamed for the maids which abruptly came in. He demanded the key of the chain from them and after getting it he unlocked her ankle, carrying her in his arms towards his room. Placing her on the bed, he called a servant. "Where the fuck is the doctor?" he demanded. "Sorry sir, he has taken a leave today" he replied, his head bowing down. "Get the fucking car out right now!" he instructed and then carried her in his arms, towards the car, laid her down on the back seat and got it into the car as the driver drove it towards the hospital. The sky was roaring and it was raining heavily. Her head was in his lap. He analysed her face, her body was cold, her lips were cracky. She saw slight red bruises on her ankle due to the chain when his eyes fell on her hands and he took them

They both rushed towards the hospital. Her legs shivering, her heart thumping wildly in her chest as she moved towards the room where she was admitted. Her family gathered outside the door, surrounding the doctor. Zahra rushed towards the doctor, grabbing his attention. "What's the condition of my mother? Is she fine now?" "She had been through a shock and her body couldn't bear the stress due to which her glucose and blood pressure lowed causing a nervous breakdown" the Doctor informed. "What?" she whispered, her eyes widening. "When she will be conscious again?" Her uncle asked. "Anytime soon but it totally depends upon the stress. Pray that she gets conscious soon otherwise we would have to connect food pipes to provide her nutrients. The more her consciousness delays, the more will be the threat to her life." he apprised when the nurse called him over as he went to attend an emergency case. Her grandmother, her uncle, Asma and Saif were their while the rest of people in the

"You did not fine me worthy enough to tell me that my brother has forced you into this marriage." Dua snapped. "Also I didn't expect that from you that you can stoop so low, just to gain your lover by your side you played with my brother's emotion. Only for once, just for once if you had discussed the whole matter with me I had helped you in every possible way to get out of this forced marriage Zahra but what you did? What you did Zahra? What the fuck you did? Keeping my brother's action aside, how can you do that to someone, leave this thing that he is my brother. How can you do that to anyone Zahra? I considered you a very nice girl inside out, with a pure heart but my assumptions about you were certainly wrong. I didn't want to be closer to a girl who plays with other emotions, who find it so easy to crush someone's feelings only to get what she wants." Dua ranted and Zahra just looked at her with wide teary eyes. Her words were hitting her heart like a dagger. "And you know Zahr

"Shift Asim and Shoaib. Call a car from the company I can't drive yet and ask your men to clean the mess over here." Irtaza continued to bark orders at Amman who simply obliged. Asim's and Shaoib's fate would be decided by Zahra later on. He had sensed already that something fishy was going on. And Khurram Osmani's call at that moment gave way to his suspicion. His futile talk, only just mere threats were signalling his mind that he's just trying to buy some time. But for what? When his mind recalled something odd he noticed in the warehouse. He was a man who observe each and every detail around him. Each and Every. That was why it was never easy to outwit him. One of his traits, that made him the notorious and perspicacious mafia boss. And using his insight, the one odd thing which he observed was that Asim and Shoaib were tied with the metal chains while Daniyal was tied with ropes. That too thin ropes. It had bothered him, but he decided to address it to Amman later and when he g
