HER INNOCENCE TAMED MY MONSTER

CHAPTER 11

"No, thank you, I will be good on my own go conquer your business world," I said and started walking away holding Adil's hand in mine.

"Api, he will get angry, what are you doing?" he whispered,

"Why do you always want to create a scene?" he said coming out of the car, slamming the door behind him and strode in our direction,

"Get in," he ordered, "No," I said stubbornly,

"For the god's sake, I am telling you last time to get in or else," he threatened, I looked up at his face, he was really fuming right now, may I should not push him to his limits, I backed up from him creating space between us, "Fine," I said and opened the back door and get in,

"I am not your driver, come sit on the front seat," he yelled, "you asked me to get in never mentioned where to sit," I said calmly, he glared at me through the rear view mirror and get out of the car, came around the car and opened my side of the door, grabbing me from forearm pushed me out of the car making me yelp in pain, "Stop it, stop! Please," I pleaded as pain in my hand was out of my control, his grip looses on my hand, he opened the front door and motioned me to get in, I glared at him and slip inside the car, Adil was sitting in the back seat, he gets in and started to drive and I waited for him to start talking, after a few minutes passed quietly Adil leans forward, "Api, is it possible to celebrate birthday's in hospital? As far as I know we can not celebrate anything in the hospital premises, right?" he asked, I was about to answer when Mr. rude, started talking, " That kid got cancer stage four so he will die in the couple of days or till the end of this week, it was his last wish to celebrate his birthday before he dies, so hospital administration gave permission to his parents to celebrate in hospital," he said coldly,

"Whaat?? He is going to die soon!" Adil asked, crying. I look angrily at Mr. rude, he has not just said it so casually to him, he is a kid, he could have said something else or he could have said it in a polite way, but NO he just blurted it out,

"Pray for him Adil," I said, and whispered some words to soothe him, we reached home, he asked Adil to go inside, which Adil obeyed and left me with him alone,

"What is it?" I asked facing him, he didn't look at me just stared outside the windscreen, "Nothing, just go, it's useless to talk to you, you are same as your father," he said, and opened the door of my side which I shut it closed, "No, first of all I am not like HIM and second cut the attitude, it wasn't me who gave proposal for the marriage, it was you, so next time be nice to me, or this wedding is off." I said angrily, he chuckled darkly and averted his gaze to me, he leaned forward caging me in with his body,

"You think I am dying to marry you? Didn't your daddy tell you this wedding is pure for business, it is in the contract that this wedding is just for a year, you are marrying me as your daddy needs my help and as your daddy has nothing to offer me in return he has given your hand in marriage, so if I have agreed to this contract, you should be thankful to me, got it?" he said sharply, I pushed him away, "Do me a favor, don't marry me" I said, angrily, he smiled evilly, " Why would I do that? Huh," he asked, "Besides, I don't do favors, you don't have a choice, so you are going to be stuck with me for a whole year my angry cat," he said playfully, I just glared at him and get off the car slamming the door shut, making him yell at me again, "Watch it!" he yelled from inside, "Be ready tomorrow at 3:00 pm, we have to go to the designer for your wedding dress." He said, I just stayed quiet, he looked at me giving me questioning look, "Can I ask you something?" I asked, "What is it?"

"Can I keep Adil with me after I get married to you, he can't live without me, please," I said in a low tone, he was quiet for a bit, "He can live with his father, why do you always carry him around, he is not your responsibility," he said,

"I know, but please let me keep him with me, I won't ask anything else I swear," I said, "We will talk about it later," he said and drove off. I sighed and started walking inside the house when someone called me from behind, "Miss Areesha?" a man asked, "Yes," I answered, "Here are your medicines, Mr. Jafferi told me to bring," he said and handed me a bag of medicine, "Thank you," I said with a smile and move to the door, entering through it I closed it and put a lock on it and leaned my back to the door, I sat down there and closed my eyes, feeling like I was trapped, Uncle javed using me for money and there must be something in it for Maaz as well, he is not a guy who usually do favors and grant something easily to others, there must be something for him, but what shall I do? Living here with Uncle Javed is getting more difficult for me, and living with that man, I don't know how it would be, just spending some time with him make me so uneasy, how I am going to spend a year with him, he is so cruel, so rude and arrogant, doesn't care for anyone else other than himself, but he is right, I don't have a choice! I can just pray to Allah SWT, living here is like to be throwing myself into a volcano from which I would definitely going to die, but living with him can give me some hope, I don't want to do anything with his money, I just want my freedom, maybe after a year I could get my property, it was stated in the property documents, I only can use it after my marriage, so I just need a plan.

I was lost in my thoughts when a doorbell rings, I stood up and opened the door, there were few men carrying some baskets, they came in and put all of them on the table and left, the same man came forward and gave me a bouquet of gorgeous pink roses with a card in them and left without saying anything, I picked up a card and sat and sat on the couch, it was a business card of Maaz, his company's brand symbol was printed on it,
Hmmm... he doesn't seems to be like a man who send flowers to the girls,
But why I am judging him! I thought,
at the back was a note, which made me smile,

"Get well soon."

MJ.
