Possession by Laila Ali (ink ebook reader TXT) 📖

"Jee?" she asked in her low voice, confused what he meant.

(Yes?)

"Remember what I told you last night?"

'I will take every decision of your life.' His words suddenly lingered in her ears and she understood what he meant.

She stood up from the chair.

"Where should I sit?" she asked timidly.

"There in front of me." he pointed towards the chair opposite to him, the other side of the table. 

She moved towards it and sat down there. She felt embarrassed that how he humiliated her infront of everyone when a sudden thought tugged at her mind.

She was running away with Daniyal, last night, despite knowing its her rukhsati today and if Irtaza hadn't caught her at time then it would have resulted in a permanent black spot on the reputation of her family. The media, famous business men, and many influential personalities were there. Only 6 to 7 servants are present her now who has witnessed her humiliation but last night, if everyone had got the news of bride's elopement then the whole family would have gotten humiliated in front of the whole world.  

'Do I serve this?' she asked herself.

She was in a hurry, last night and she didn't think of the consequences, she was only caring about Daniyal and a chance which the nature has given her to get out of this forced marriage. She didn't think thoroughly but only believed Daniyal's words.

That was her mistake. Blind trust.

Her eyes moved on the varieties placed on the breakfast table. The whole table was filled with fruits, juices, jams, breads, pancakes, tea, coffee, eggs, greek yogurt, nuts, berries, puddings and what more. 

"What would you like to eat Zahra?" he asked, grabbing her attention.

"Whatever you wish" she replied meekly, she knew she didn't has a say in it.

"Serve her chicken roast." he ordered the servant who immediately placed some chicken roast in her plate.

"This will be your meal from now on"

She looked towards her plate.

This was going to be her life from now on. She can't even decide what she can eat. She was at the verge of crying.

She cursed the day when she placed her footsteps into that haveli and begin to eat what was served to her.

But this was just a mere beginning.

.............................

After breakfast he left for his office and she was back in her room. She wan't allowed to leave the room and she didn't want to take any chance by stepping out of this room without his permission.

Last night was enough to see his worst side and now she can't even think of crossing him ever again. 

She sighed. She was afraid what would happen next. She was afraid about her future. 

For how long she'll have to spend her life in his imprisonment? She had no idea. Everything was crumbling. 

She was completely left alone. No haveli member was allowed to visit his mansion until he permits. Her mother can't come nor Haseeb neither Dua and Haya. No one. And she has to face his wrath all alone.

She wondered what Daniyal is going through right now? Last night Irtaza was generous enough not to kill Daniyal but what unbearable pain Daniyal must be facing. She was clueless and extremely worried.

Closing her eyes, she slept, which gave her a short escape from the present calamities of her life.

.......

"Ma'am! Ma'am!" the maid jerked her body, waking her up from her sleep.

"Ma'am please get up!" the maid said hurriedly.

Danger bells begin to run in her ears as her heart begin to beat fast. Something bad happened. 

"What! What happened?! I didn't do anything! I was just sleeping!" she said, panic jabbing her nerves.

"No ma'am, nothing happened. Sir has asked you to get ready and I've been waking you up since so long but you weren't waking up." the maid explained.

"Oh" she sighed in relief. Nothing bad happened.

"Here is your makeup artist and these are your clothes. Please get ready soon as you're already getting late. Sir is waiting for you." she informed and Zahra nodded in understanding then the maid left the room.

And then the make up artist begin her work.

She looked towards the sky from the window, it was evening. She had been sleeping for 5 to 6 hours. She had slept too much but still she was feeling sleepy.

She wondered where he was going to take her to.
