"What are you doing?" I asked, looking at her irritated face.

She jumped slightly upon hearing my voice and without answering me, she quickly grabbed my Kurta and start pressing it. I couldn't stop myself from smiling at it. Her startled face was kind of cute and it really made me want to tease her more. I stalked towards her and her stiffening body proves that she was aware of my approach.

"What did you just do?" I asked, slowly standing right behind her.

"I... I... I..." She started to stutter.


I turned her around to face me by holding both of her arms and she quickly closed her eyes as soon as she saw me because I was only in a towel.

I seriously hate it when she does that...

"What's wrong?"

"I cannot press men's clothes." She said, clenching her shirt in a fist.

I turned my face to the other side, or else I was sure I would laugh out loud.

"Tell me, Noor, is there anything you can do besides crying?" I tried my best to sound angry and it worked as she lowered her head.

Idiot!

I lifted her head up by holding up her chin. She didn't open her eyes and her long lashes are still kissing her cheeks.

But they are mine to kiss...

I leaned down to her right cheek but instead of placing a kiss, I found myself nibbling her soft cheek. With an audible gasp, she opened her eyes and gave me a questioning look while massaging her cheek.

"Sorry! My fever is making me do strange things." I shrugged and went to my wardrobe. Pulling out a pair of blue jeans with a purple V-neck t-shirt, I entered the bathroom, reminding myself that I have something to tell Noor.

I received Sarmad's call when she was asleep and he gave me the news which I was expecting to hear since the day I killed that Kamil guy. But the problem was, I don't know how should I tell her that his whole family got killed because he was unable to complete the deal - The deal of handing over my Noor to my enemy.

Neither I can tell her that she was targeted even before she became my wife. To be honest, it was my fault, to begin with, I made it too obvious to others that she was special because of my overprotectiveness and jealousy. She was always famous among boys because of her feisty nature and it was my men's duty to make sure that no one approaches her.

Very pathetic of me...

I envy Ahad in this case. Everyone stayed away from Kanwal because of the fact that they were once engaged.

I put on my clothes as fast as I could. Exhaling a deep breath, I went into the room and thanked Allah that Noor was not there. I quickly buckled up my holster and cover it with a coat after putting my guns in it. Then, I grabbed Noor's phone and check it.

Thirteen missed calls from her family and one from Kanwal. I frown and switched off her mobile. I'll tell her when we reach home but before that, she shouldn't be bothered.

I knew Noor was in touch with her family ever since I bought her the phone, I have seen the memory card on her mobile and traced all her calls but never told her. Although, I was unable to understand why the thought crossed her mind that I wouldn't get to know if she contacts her family. It made me furious yet I let it slip, there was no point in pressuring her even more. All of them were well aware that they cannot go against me, even my simple-minded Noor knows of the fact.  

She shouldn't have approached her family in the first place, now Noor's mother will call her and I am sure that she would blame me for the death of her only sister's family. It wasn't like I care for what people say, but I don't want to see Noor getting hurt anymore. She already believes that all of her family's sufferings are because of her as she is loved by a criminal.

Why won't they let her live in peace...?

Mahnoor's POV:

"We are leaving, Noor." Moosa announced as he entered the living room, ready to leave.

"But I am making tea." I looked at him in surprise.

"We don't have time for it. I have work to do and I am not leaving you here alone." He said, turning off the stove and dragging me out of the kitchen.

"Wear your sandals." I do as he said.

"Come." He opened the main door.

"What about my other stuff?" I didn't move from my place.

"This is our own house, Noor. You can take it later."

"Oh, okay. I'll just grab my pho-"

"I have it." He didn't even let me complete my sentence and started dragging me again.

Why is he in a rush???

"But what about all the food?"

"I'll send rats to take care of it." He said in a monotone.

Huh???

"WAIT! Wait... please." I tugged his arm.

"What now?" He was starting to get angry.

"Just stay for a second, please." I ran inside the bedroom and grabbed his medicine.

"What was it?" He frowned.

"Your medicine." I mumbled.

He stared at me for a long time before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Let's go." I nodded and stepped outside before him.
