Possession by Laila Ali (best authors to read txt) 📕

"and when they both pul..led away, he had held her ne...ck and plac...ed his li...ps on hers for a second when I immediately reached there and punched him." Haseeb spilled out the whole truth.

Her eyes fell on his hand which turned into a fist and her heart stopped there.

"Bhai believe me, Zahra wasn't ready to kiss that man, before she could stop him he had k-"

"Enough" Irtaza said, trying to control himself.

And Haseeb stopped there. He saw it, irtaza was trying to calm himself but his anger was surfacing.

"Now where's that boy, Daniyal?" He asked, taking a heavy breath trying to control himself. On the other hand, Zahra was already crying, because of her wretched face. 

She was afraid.

Terrified.

Petrified.

She was feeling bad for Haseeb that she had to face this all because of her. She was afraid for Daniyal, Irtaza was asking about him and that was making her heart beat wildly in her chest.

"Bhai I as...ked the men to fr..ee him" He stuttered again, witnessing the immense anger entering Irtaza's form.

"Why?"

"Because bhai....I...I thought that you will punish Zahra, when you'll....get to know about what happened today. So I freed him" He answered, covering the fact that Zahra had asked him to free Daniyal.

"And why were you lying?"

He gulped. He was caught.

"Because... I was... trying to save her. Bhai please forgive her. She was crying and begging to save her from...you. Please let her go this time."

"Shut up." he said and then turned his head towards her shaking form, her head was hung down as her eyes spilled tears out. He was trying hard to control his anger.

"And when you were planning to tell me all this?" he question, quirking his brow, turning his head back to Haseeb.

Haseeb looked down towards the floor. He knew now the time had come and he should be ready for punches.

"I...umm... I was goi..ng to hi...de this from you." Haseeb stuttered, not matching his gaze.

"So you were going to hide this from me." He repeated, in a low pensive tone.

"I'm sorry."

"You should be"

And that's when Irtaza landed a punch on his jaw and before he could fell back held his collar, jerking his body.

He couldn't control his anger anymore.

"You knew the fuck that she's my fucking fiance! No, She's my wife! My fucking wife!! And you were fucking going to hide it from that she was so fucking intimate with another man." He boomed and landed another punch on his jaw tearing his lips.

"A fucking bastard was kissing her and you were going to hide it from me!!" and another strike reached his face.

"She was hugging that fucktard and you were going to hide it from me!!" 

Another punch had hit his face.

"ME!" He shouted.

Punch

"HER HUSBAND!"

Punch

"HER FUCKING HUSBAND!!"

Punch

 "IRTAZA HAIDER FUCKING SYED!!"

Punch

Blow after blow were being landed on his face.

His eyes were protruded out as he was hitting haseeb with an unusual force and Haseeb was not able to utter a single word because of pain and fear.

Irtaza was looking livid. Beyond livid. His whole form was giving rage. A pure, unadulterated rage. His eyes were no longer schooling that calm and composed mask which they usually did. His jaw was clenched. His hands were shaking with anger. His heart beat was increased as he felt his body flushed due to the extreme anger.

Zahra had also betrayed him, like his mother. She was involved with someone else like his mother. She was also in someone's else embrace like his mother. She was just exactly like his mother. And these thought were making his chest shake with the rage he felt at the moment. 

The blow of each hit reached to an extraordinary level as he was not able to control his anger anymore. His blood was boiling with indignation and fury.

While Zahra whole body had already begun to shake so bad. Her eyes were widened, witnessing the whole scene occurring infront of her.

She wanted to stop him from hitting Haseeb anymore but she didn't has the courage to even move an inch from her place.

His anger had paralyzed her.

Other than fear every emotion was blocked from her mind. Her heart was beating so fast in her chest. Her mind was feeling dizzy. Her whole form was shaking. Her mouth was dry as her whole body was hot and flushed.

By now Haseeb's face was bloodied as Irtaza was barking profanities and continued hitting him.

She couldn't witness it anymore. She couldn't see what was happening to Haseeb. He had helped her alot and she was standing here watching him, getting powerful strikes on his face, because of her.

It all happened because of her.

She should've never loved Daniyal.

She should've died along with her father.

She should've preferred to live on streets other than living in the haveli.

She should've stood for herself when Shoaib was harassing her so she could've never felt alone and never had loved Daniyal.

It was all her fault.

The fault that she loved someone else despite being married to Irtaza.

If Daniyal wasn't in her heart she'd definitely have accepted this marriage. She would have accepted Irtaza as her husband.

But it was not in her hand. 

It was a matter of her heart.

She couldn't stop herself from loving Daniyal even after being married to someone else. 

If this emotion love was in her control she had forgotten Daniyal the very day when her grandfather had asked her hand for Irtaza. Over the years, she never knew how to stand up for herself. And when Irtaza married her forcefully she also wouldn't have stood up for herself like other times but this time the case was different. Her love for Daniyal was provoking her, compelling her to chase and go after what her heart wants. It was the first time in her life she had stood up for what she wanted.
