All Chapters of The Unwanted Bride Book 1: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Hayat's Pov.I am at my best friend's Nikkah as she wanted me to be her maid of honour. Sameera Malik has been my best friend ever since we were kids.I am in her room praying Maghrib prayers as her Nikkah was at 9 pm. What I didn't know was that a little boy followed me to the room and watched as I prayed.After I finished I turned to see him sitting on one of the throw pillows that decorated Sameera's room."Asalam Aleikum, how are you?", I greeted the boy. He stood up and walked toward me. I took him and settled him in my lap as I made my Duas.What I didn't know was that someone was watching the entire thing. Then the little boy kissed my cheek and ran to the man who was watching me.The man took the little boy in his arms while he was staring at me as if he were trying to analyse me.I folded the prayer mat and put it where it belonged."I am sorry if he disturbed you....""No, it is okay. He didn't disturb me at all. He is precious, an angel", I tell him, smiling at the little b

A Stepmother's Hate For Hayat.Hayat's PovEach day waking up for prayers is a gift from Allah to us. Walking up and thanking Him for making us live another day.Alhamdullilah.Today is the first day of the year that I go back to work as a teacher. It is something that both my mother and I love to do and that is to teach."Ya Allah, help my family understand and to listen to reason. I pray to you to give me the guidance that I need to get through every day of my life while living with them".Prayers are what keep me alive and sane in this world.My mother named me Hayat (meaning her Life). She always told me that I was her life.She was the kindest, most caring, and most loving soul that anyone had ever met.Except she died when I was barely a teenager due to Cancer. Every prayer is dedicated to her and my father.Then my father married Maryam because he thought that I needed a motherly figure in my life. Maryam came with her daughter from her first marriage to stay at the house."Hay

A week later.Zahir And Sameera's Engagement.Hayat's Pov.After a week's preparation for Sameera's engagement. The day is finally here.Alhamdullilah.At least my father allowed me to be there for my best friend. He knew how much she meant to me and how much I wanted her in my life."No, no, no am not wearing that dress. It is backless, Sameera plus there will be guys here. I can't I am sorry", I tell her as she showed me a dress that didn't even look like a dress to me."She is right, Sameera", her mother tells her. "Plus she is unmarried and men will ogle at her. Which isn't good", she added."Fine, I know a perfect dress for you to wear", she says putting the dress away and walking into her closet to get the dress. "This is perfect for you", she added, coming with a dress in her arms.Sameera is the kind of friend who will insist on going shopping only to give me half of the clothes she bought.I love her, but I pray that Zahir will be able to handle her."Sam, you didn't have to

He Needs A Mother, Aayan.Aayan's Pov.It has been almost two days since Azaan became sick and now he is much better.I need a gift of apology for Zahir and his fiancée, Sameera, because I couldn't attend their engagement due to Azaan getting sick. Still, my mother came to visit, putting my plans to go out on hold."Asalam Aleikum, my son. How are you?", my mother Leila says to me. I know why she is here. She wants me to get married again for my son's sake, but what they don't know is the fact that I don't believe in anything, not even love."Waleikum salaam, mum. Am I good and you? What are you doing here?" I ask her, handing her a glass of juice that Farwa prepared for her.Farwa is like a mother to me. She has always been there for me, and when I got married to Zainab, I asked her to come and live with us."Can't I just visit my son and grandson without any problem? I heard he wasn't feeling well, that's why I came to see him", she innocently answered, but I knew what her real moti

Zahir & Sameera's Nikkah Preparation Part One.Hayat's Pov.I was angry at the way Jameela spoke to me. I am not her. I know my values are important to me. She messed with the wrong person when it comes to my mother and father who are very important to me.Am not going to stress about it because I want to enjoy my best friend's wedding without any hitches or any problems.I knew that Sameera had already gotten a whole matching outfit for me. How do I know that, well she has this urge to make everything perfect?She would give me gifts saying it was for my birthday and it had either passed or was coming soon.Alhamdullilah.I have asked my papa's permission and he knows how much Sameera means to me."Hurry up and prepare the breakfast you insolent child. If your father wasn't here you would have gotten what you deserve", Maryam tells me. I knew the reason she told me this was because of what happened with Jameela.All I could think about was what Papa talked to me about.The marriage p
