||Izzah POV||

The sun rose with the new rays which told everyone that the new things were going to come in their way, it could either be good or bad but everyone had to be ready. Everyone was maybe ready to embrace it but I wasn't because I knew what was coming my way.

Last night was a nightmare for me - a nightmare with which I had to live forever. My eyes were swallowed from last night because of the tears which I shredded last night.

Did dad seriously sell me to this monster? It was the only question I have been thinking since last night. The dreams of someone I would love dearly and someone also loved me back were shattered last night when I signed on the papers. I would never have someone to love me and to protect me like I dreamt.

This wasn't how I dreamt to marry someone. This wasn't how I wanted to end up. Marrying some poor man would be better than this monster but luck wasn't on my side. I felt myself slowly drowning in the darkness of depression and anxiety.

My eyes snapped to the door when it made the jiggle sound. My heart beat in fear and I watched in horror as it opened slowly with a sound. It felt like my life suddenly became a script of a kidnapping movie.

That monster was revealed when the door opened completely. He quickly closed it behind him and locked it. He approached me slowly with his dangerous steps and put a tray in front of me which I didn't notice.

"If you don't eat then I will make you eat," He warned me, coldly with glare.

I looked at the tray which made my stomach growl - not loud enough for him to hear but since it was completely silence around us, he definitely heard it. I wanted to eat so badly but didn't know if he had added something in it or not. What if he added any kind of drugs to take advantage of me? This thought made me break into sweat and fear more for my life, dignity and innocence.

"I may not be a good man but I never fell that low to take advantage of a woman," It was like he had read my mind as he answered in his cold and dark voice.

Slowly, I picked the toast with my trembling hands and ate it with egg. He sat on the sofa calmly in front of the bed like he never kidnapped me or made me sign a contract last night. His presence was making me nervous but I didn't let him see it. I was going to be brave enough to fight back for myself.

Once I finished eating, the door of the room opened again and a woman in her late thirties entered with few shopping bags. Her head was down the whole time as she placed the bags on the bed and picked the tray before walking out of the room, leaving me alone with this monster. He stood up and walked towards me.
