Possession by Laila Ali (ink ebook reader TXT) 📖

CHAPTER 26

Several minutes have passed and now Zahra was calmed. She felt safer in his presence. She knew he won't let anyone hurt her. He will protect her as he promised.

But she was forgetting that she now only needs to protect herself from him because if he came to know about the games which she is playing with her, hell will break on her.

Zahra noticed her whereabouts, he wasn't going towards the haveli and she panicked as that thought once again consumed her mind that he got to know about Daniyal.

It was on her mind all the time like a looming threat.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"Somewhere" was his short reply.

Internally, she was panicking, again as many negative thoughts surrounded her mind.

'There is nothing like that Zahra. He doesn't know about anything. If he did he wouldn't have acted so sweet then.' Her subconscious chided in making her relax.

'It was all because those boys were following you. Why did he come to take you from university when it was Haseeb's duty. He might have got a clue about something.' She retorted and with that the panic returned.

'No. if there was something like that he would've landed a straight slap on your face when you entered into the car.' her subconscious again told and she relaxed a bit thinking that he doesn't know anything.

'But you need to think about every possibility. Where he is taking you to then?' she asked again.

'Might be on a dinner'

'Then he would've answered'

'Look at his face. Does he look angry?'

She turned her head towards his face and not a hint of anger was on his face.

'No he doesn't. Right? You're worrying yourself without any reason.'

'But he's so good at maintaining a calm composure. No one can guess what's going on in his mind.'

'Take a deep breath Zahra. There is nothing to worry about.'

And she did just that. She took deep breaths as her mind told her but still she was bothered that where he is taking her to.

On the other hand Irtaza was observing her every action. The change of expressions on her face, the panic in her eyes when he looked at him, her deep breaths as if she's worried about something.

He got it.

She was nervous!

But why?

This question bothered him alot, she acted as she was trying to hide something from him. But if there's any thing she's trying to hide from him, sooner or later he will get to know. He was sure about it.

He had already called his men to kill those bastards who were following Zahra.

And the job was already done. They were shot dead and there dead bodies were already dumped.

But his men had investigated the matter more and he wasn't shocked to know that both of those bastards were also hired by Khurram Osmani.

That man was getting on his nerves but he didn't want to deal with him yet. The matter at hand was the illegal shipping of drug consignment and money laundering of 500 million dollars. This was his first project with the international mafia and his rival, Khurram Osmani wanted this project and he's desperately somehow trying to get his hands on Irtaza.

But he had no idea how much sadistic his rival is.

Irtaza had asked Haseeb that he himself will be picking Zahra today from her university but he had no idea that this situation will be waiting for him.

Now only one ting was clear to him that this shipping must be done asap. Already two consignments were shipped and 250 million dollars was taken out of the country. Half of the mission was left. The third consignment was to be passed out of the border at the end of this month and Shehryaar along with his friend, Moosa were handling the business at the border.

And after finishing his mission he will freely deal with that bastard.

But Irtaza was damn sure that there was a traitor among them, who was leaking all the information, giving the way to spies in his mafia, informing the Osmains about the current location of his every family member and trying to attack them.

And these days, he was so occupied in his work and hell bent on finding the traitor in them and punishing him in his sadistic ways.

He so wanted to know who was the person behind the curtain.

......

The car stopped infront of a farm house, located far away from the city. Zahra's anticipation was shooting up on thinking that what's gonna happen next and why he brought him here.

She was trying to calm herself but the thought again crossed her mind.

The thought that he had caught her.

'He knows it. He came to know about Daniyal. Run Zahra! Run, he will burn you alive.' Horrendous thoughts covered her mind as her nerves got hysterical.

Irtaza alighted the car and reached for her door. She scooted backwards making him confused.

'Run Zahra!' her subconscious spoke making her heart go wild.

"Me..nay ku..ch na..hi kia" she stuttered, still thinking that he came to know about her and Daniyal.

(I haven't done anything)

"Zahra get out of the car." he gritted. Her this attitude was getting on his nerves.

"I'm sorry." she again said trying to scoot more back.

Her these actions were firming Irtaza's suspicion. Minute by minute, he was getting sure of the fact that Zahra is trying to hide something fro him.

He caught her arm in vicious grip and got her out of the car, forcefully. Slamming her onto the car, he gripped her throat, not so hard.

"Zahra spill it out already." He asserted.

Zahra closed her eyes tightly. She was acting so foolish. Her acts were continuously making him think that she was keeping a secret. But she can't help but act like that.

'Zahra stop acting like a dumb. He does not know about anything! Dont make him suspicious of you' Her sane part screamed at her.
