Sauf/Reem's POV.
Looking back at everything that happened back then between me and Ammar, I came to realise he didn't even care how I would feel before remarrying again. My situation was understandable but as man he was meant to do something to save our relationship. I know he tried but not enough. He made me go through pain for months, thinking of him everyday with his new wife. Seeing him on TV almost everyday with his wife at public events angered me. The way he always held her hand made my blood boil. And worst of all, that wife of his, was none other than my enemy at college.
I began to regret ever knowing him and I got upset at knowing he still existed. His sight makes my heart angry and makes my blood boil So much to the point it almost dried up.
I decided if I ever had to meet him one day, is surely take my revenge and look who's working for me now!

I watched him as he strode up to the stage, he looked so startled and shocked.
"You didn't see this coming, did you?" I patted his shoulder, giving him a fake smile.
"You can give your brief speech," I said, handing him the Mic and stepping down back to my seat.
I heard as he stuttered and blundered all through his fake thanks. He had no option, I had to embarrass him. And he must go through what I felt.
The party finally ended and I and Sara headed back home as soon as all the guest had left.
"Reem, all these years you haven't told me why Basma was your college enemy, enlighten me?" She asked. I sat majestically on the bean bag beside the couch in my huge living room. Fiddling with my fingers, I finally spoke.
"You know, back then, I used to perform so well in class. I would occasionally be given awards and a lot of responsibilities. And I was made the overall prefect of my department. I was told that anyone who slipped lectures, I must take action. Basma often skipped classes and insulted teachers anyhow. I decided to reprimand her one day. I kept confronting her and shouting at her, in no time almost everyone gathered around. I revealed all the things she used to do back in high school...She smoked, drank alcohol and slept with boys, she had even aborted a child before. Because of that she vowed to take revenge on me And that is what she thought she did with Ammar,"
"What a story...well go freshen up and go to bed, we have work tomorrow." She heaved a sigh. "And the Ammar stuff...well-" I immediately cut her off.
"I liked it!" I stated firmly and walked to my room.
I replaced my short Chanel dress with a black fluffy robe. My hair was already disfigured from the beautiful curls from earlier on.
I quickly took a shower and wore my long green silky gown.
I lay on my bed and began to think about my next plan. I want to do the exact same thing to him.
I need to call Manal to ask her about her brother Amir. I just hope he's around.
Ammar's POV.
"Fahd why would she lie like that? What's going on? This CEO of a thing isn't my Sauf. The Sauf I know, isn't heartless and a liar," I lamented. I and Fahd were now in my apartment.
"Listen Ammar, what ever happened today, shouldn't have happened. Okay? I myself don't understand why she did what she did. She made it look as if you had begged for the position and you're a corrupt person. The worst part is, it's all on national TV. All those tycoons that knew you before will begin to despise you. What has she done!" Fahd commented as I listened with my fingers locked into each other under my chin.
"You know what? She isn't Sauf. But wait we forgot to do what we wanted to?" I said.
"You're right. But what she just did is enough proof to show she isn't your Sauf," Fahd reasoned.
"Hmm..." I hummed.
"All you have to do is live your life normally, forget everything that happened. I know what you're going through now, but please don't let it affect you, you're a man!" Fahd comforted me.
"Mm...right. I think that's what I'll do," I replied.
After an hour, he left for his own house. I made my self some salad and coffee and went to my room to do some work. Yeah! I can cook...unlike men right!
Hours later, which felt like three am...I finally went to bed. I needed it, to clear my head and start a new life tomorrow.
_________
I walked into the office quite sluggishly, because I had retired to bed very late last night. I said my hellos to the people next to me. Few seconds later, I noticed a paper underneath my desktop. I slid it out and read to myself.
Ammar, I haven't given you any new promotion...stop your big dreams. What I did yesterday was for a reason but don't ask why because it's none of your business.
There and then, I knew it was Miss Reem. She had written the letter. But why does she not want me to know why she did it?
I got angry at her for the first time. I scrunched up the paper and threw into the bin near my desk. I sat down silently, clenching my fists together. I felt my blood boiling, ready to fight whoever irritated. I started sweating, all my veins being very obvious.
"Ammar what's wrong?" I heard Fahd's voice from behind me. I didn't bother turning around, rather I hit my table very hard, I noticed all the confused faces staring at me from all angles.
"What happened?"
"Come with me!" I ordered as I stood up and took him outside with me by his hand.
"Do you believe this Boss of ours? She kept a letter on my desk saying she never promoted me and it was all a charade. How dare she play with my feelings like this?" I yelled. I was raging with anger now, heat was what I felt and blazing fire was what was inside me.
"Ammar please calm down and--" before he even finished his sentence, I left to go and meet the heartless boss in her office.
I opened her door widely making the glass to shatter.
"What the hell do you think you just did?" She asked with an angry face.
"I should be asking you that! Do you think you can just play with people's heart. First you tarnish my image at your worthless party and then you write a note stating that I never got promoted. What rubbish," this time, her desk was the only object separating us. She was just quiet as i spoke.
"Oh I see. So you're angry because your promotion is fake, all you want is money!" She said trying to sit down but decided against it when I let out my words.
"If that's what you think you're mistaken! Do you know why I am angry? Because a heartless woman like you played me like some board game and thinks she can keep doing that. Unfortunately I am resigning. Here is my resignation letter!" I threw it in her face. She came around from her table stand face to face with me. Before I could blink, my face dabbed to the right side. My left cheek was burning from the hard slap she gave me. Then she started to tear the letter and after she was done, threw it in the air.
"Before resigning, you need to give a. Six. Weeks. Notice!" She said firmly.
" What you just did isn't right! You aren't Sauf and I feel angry that a worthless and despicable woman like you looks exactly like her. You're a disgrace to the women out there who think you're some Angel!!"
I walked out quickly after saying what I had to. She was rendered speechless and shocked.
