Possession by Laila Ali (ink ebook reader TXT) 📖

Her thoughts really disturbed her, so she simply picked up the phone and called him. She was frustrated now, because of her messed up thoughts. The line trilled but wasn't answered. She re dialed but again, it wasn't picked up. Calling him 3 to 4 times, she placed the phone back. He didn't pick it up.

She closed her eyes for a brief moment when her phone ringed and she immediately picked it up.

"Hello" his voice reached her ears. She felt as if hearing this voice after years. She didn't know why but weird feelings accumulated at the pit of her heart.

Did she miss him?

No!

"Hello, Zahra?" he said again, when she didn't answer.

"Hello Assalam alaikum"

"Wsalam. Is everything alright?"

"Yes it is"

"Then?"

"Do you forgive me?" she straightly asked, without beating about the bush. 

"For?"

"For betraying you"

"I do" he said, without giving a second thought.

"Are you sure? Right?"

"100 percent"

"I'm sorry, Irtaza. For betraying you, for playing with your feelings. I didn't want to but-" she said, her voice getting shaky.

"Shh senorita. Don't cry. I love you and I've forgiven you too. We're way past that"

"Thank you"

"Your welcome. Now fix up."

"When you'll be coming back?"

"Tomorrow" he replied, when she heard the sound of commotion behind him and suddenly the call went off. She frowned, removing the phone from her ear, wondering why it got off suddenly.

She called back but it wasn't answered.

Hoping that everything would be fine, she laid down and within minutes she was asleep. 

"Ma'am" someone jolted her shoulder and her eyes slightly opened.

"Ma'am please wake up!" she said again. 

"I want to sleep" she groggily replied.

"Please ma'am, wake up. Otherwise I won't be spared" the maid said in her troublesome tone. which woke her up, instantly.

"What happened? Are you fine?"

"No..UYes. I'm. Thank you. Shehryaar sir is calling you downstairs now. Please hurry" she told her.

"Ok. I'm coming"

"Please come fast. I insist. Sir would get angry"

 She nodded and went in the washroom, washing her face, so it could freshen up. From some odd reason, her anxiety had increased tenfold.

Why would he be calling her?

For some odd reason, she found Shehryaar, really intimidating and scary. His presence screamed danger. Even, she was more intimidating than Irtaza himself.

Going down, she found him standing near the foot of stairs

"You called me?" she asked, her voice automatically getting smaller. His gaze was demanding obedience and submission.

"I want to have a word with you, Zahra. Come to my office, now" he said, and flicked his finger, indicating her to follow behind him.

"Why?" her heart suddenly begin to hammer in her chest. 

He turned around and gave him a look which told her, 'you better don't fuck up with me cuz I ain't the one to be fucked with'

"Come" he stated plainly but she didn't miss the underlying threat.

He moved ahead knowing she'll be following him, now. As they reached his office, he opened the door and let her in and then followed behind, before closing the door.

He turned towards her. His sharp striking gaze shoot her anxiety. It was the same feeling of fear, she had been accustomed to.

"Yes?" she asked.

"I'm not talking with you right now as your husband's younger brother but as the sardaar of haveli. So I expect only truth and obedience" he said in his clipped tone. His eyes calculating her movements.

By his statement, the gravity of situation was evident  to her and also she can't run from him as he had made himself called as the sardaar. She kind of have an idea what power does the sardaar holds in the Shah haveli. His words were like a law. Not even a single sound of opposition was heard to a Sardaar's order. Everyone has to obey.

"Did you make a call to Irtaza?" he questioned.

She frowned.

"Why are you asking?"

"Answer the damn question!" he suddenly bellowed making her shudder.

"Yes, yes. I did" she whispered, hurriedly.

"When?"

"Today, at noon"

His jaw clenched after hearing her answer and she could feel the change in his demeanor.

"For more than three minutes?" he asked in a matter of factly tone.

"Yes"

"Fuck!" he cussed under his breath.

"What happened?"

"He has been kidnapped" he replied.

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

So how was the chap?

5 more left by now.

And who were asking about the update of Obsession and Attraction, the books won't be starting anytime soon. After finishing Possession, I'll be on hiatus. Then come back with both the books. Also guys, I'm sure but Obsession might be a paid book. Please don't send hate. But Attraction won't be.

Thankyou all.

And also, a very big thank you to my two beautiful readers who rewarded this book. It made me so happy. I couldn't thank you both indivually so here you go.

Love y'all
