Possession by Laila Ali (ink ebook reader TXT) 📖

"I'm sorry." she breathlessly, answered in one go, unable to explain herself.

He remained quiet staring at her. She didn't match his eyes even for a nanosecond. Her eyes were down. She was crying softly already and he didn't even start yet. His single question made her tremble profusely.

He wondered, how this girl could be so sharp, who is just crying because of his one single question. How she can map out a whole plan like that. 

"Come here." he ordered and she begin to shiver.

She decided to stay rooted to her spot. She can't walk on her foot towards her doom but his next word proved her decision wrong.

"Don't make it difficult for you. Come fucking here before I come there." He gritted.

Finding no way to escape, she begin to take small steps towards him until she stood right infront of him.

He turned his chair towards her, looking her intensely. His hand suddenly snaked her waist and he jerked her body, pulling her on his lap, her legs either side of his legs that she was straddling him.

She begin to panic immediately and tried to get off of his lap when he pushed her body against hers, trying to keep her in place. His hands behind her waist.

"Please let me go." She hurriedly said like a scared pigeon. 

She was petrified. That night begin to play in her mind, making her breathing ragged and suddenly all the lights of the his study turned off immediately, increasing her panic.

Several minutes passed but he didn't say a word. In the utter dark, she knew he was staring her. He wasn't saying anything as if in a deep thought, looking at her fear filled face.

She was sitting on his lap. His office was dark all around just like his heart. The close proximity between them was making her nauseatic. She tried her best not to shiver but any movement made by him made her more and more tremble.

She bit her lips to stop them from quivering but all in vain. Her heart thundered against her rib cage. She was having goosebumps over and over. Her mind was stuporized. Her eyes were glistening with tears of horror and fear and throat clogged. She tightly held both her hands together to stop them from shaking. Her palms were cold and sweaty.

The whole dark office was quite and the only sound one can hear was her ragged breathing. She was trying her best to maintain a strong composure outside but when yet again the whole situation sinked into her mind, her heart was once again out of control.

Dread

Anticipation

Horror

And Fear

These four feelings covered her heart. She knew he will be doing worse to her. After knowing everything how can one or specifically a man like him can let her go easily and forgive her.

What will I do now? What he will be doing with me? How will I survive? How will I be able to face his worst side? What will happen now?

These thoughts crossed in her mind. The torments and calamities her future will be holding for her was making her feel so helpless. And all those torments and calamities will be created by him.

She knew he will make her life hell from now on. She knew she has nothing in her hands now but just to face whatever he has saved in for her. She was really now all at his mercy.

He slowly brushed away her brown locks away from her ears and whispered into her ear making her eyes to protrude of there sockets and her breathing rapid.

"Say that you love me."

She was utterly confused.

"Jee?" She asked all confused.

(Yes?)

"Yes say that you love me."

"What?"

"I won't repeat"

She blinked several times, unable to understand his demand. Why should she say that she loves him when in actual she does not and he knows that.

"I dont understand."

"This is what I've not asked you to say."

She gulped. Her body shuddered when his hand caressed her sides.

"I..." she whimpered, "please"

His jaw clenched.

"I understand Zahra. You love Daniyal. Right?" He asked, masking his anger.

Cold sweats popped out of her forehead. She held her hands tightly together.

"I..I...I.." she sobbed.

What should I say?

"Let it go. Answer my this question, Do you love me as you said that day?" He asked again, raising her head with her chin.

Her heart dropped. Tears begin to flow out of her eyes. Terror, anticipation and guilt mixed engulfing her mind.

"I'm so..rry." she wailed.

"Answer Zahra. Do you love me?" He asked again, his voice calm but his hold on her chin tightened.

"I do..n't kn...ow." She cried.

"But you should love me." He pensively said, retreating his hand back from her chin.

His hand abruptly held the nape of her neck and brought her head closer to him with a jerk.

"You'll love me Zahra. I promise, one day you'll love me. And be ready, day after tomorrow, your life will not be the same. Be ready to face the punishment for betraying me. Be ready Zahra." He gritted in his anger filled voice and pulled her back.

"I want you at breakfast table tomorrow. Got it?" 

She bobbed her head up and down, not able to form a word.

"Now get out of my sight."

And it didn't take her much time to left his lap and run away from his office.
