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

"Why?" Zahra asked, her voice low. She knew he cant do anything to her as the whole family is sitting otherwise if she was alone with her then she'd be making plans to somehow run away from his presence.

"Because I'm saying so. If I can give my consent for you to go university then I can also take it back. Understood Zahra?" He gritted, turning his head towards her. His eyes staring directly into hers. And the anger and dissapprovement she saw in them was enough for her to run for the mountains.

"Yes" she nodded her head, gulping down.

"I hope everyone is clear. Rukhsati will occur at the end of this week." He declared and left the table.

"We've barely any time left. Finish the preparations asap." There grandfather ordered and followed behind his grandson to know about his cold behaviour today at the table.

Then slowly everyone left the table leaving Shehryaar behind who was worried about his brother. He knew women are never to be trusted and he always had warn his brother of it and his brother had received the same blow of betrayal like his father.

Flashback

Both the brothers were sitting on the bench, in the lawn of the hospital. Shehryaar was looking at Irtaza's disheveled state. He knew he was slightly drunk.

"Irtaza what happened?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"Why are you drunk then?"

"I'm not."

"And I'm not a fucking fool. Now tell me what happened?" Shehryaar asked again, stomping his foot on the floor. He knew very well something was wrong with Irtaza and his sixth sense was telling him continuously that it might be related to Zahra, his wife.

Irtaza looked towards her. His eyes hollow like a dark deep pit, carrying no emotion. They were numb.

"She betrayed me." He shortly replied as a sudden flash of pain entered his eyes and it was gone as soon as it came.

"What?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yes. He was involved with someone else despite being married to me like-"

"Like our mother" Shehryaar completed and then boomed at his elder brother,"Irtaza I had fucking told you million of times that womankind is never to be trusted! I was warning you not to blindly trust her! Not to fall in love with her! And you paid no heed to me! Bravo. Now, you've the result infront of you."

"I thought she's the most unique and innocent woman in this world who doesnt even know the b of betrayal. But my assumption was wrong for the very first time." His voice low as he uttered his heart to his brother, looking down towards the grass as if in a deep thought.

From the very start Irtaza and Shehryaar were very close to each other. They both never had hidden anything from each other. They can give and take  lives for there other half. They both were very vocal and open with each other. The side they show when they're alone, the world had never witnessed it. They never had felt any hesitance in discussing there hearts with each other. They both were like best brother friends and there trio was completed by Moosa, Irtaza's first in command and his best friend from the very start.

"You did the same mistake which Baba did. Trusted blindly a woman." He sighed and rested his back against the bench.

Several minutes passed but no words were exchanged like they both were in another world.

"What you'll do with her now?" Shehryaar asked breaking the silence.

"I'm loving her and hating her at the same time. A part of me does not want to believe that she's that cunning while the other part want me to punish her for her betrayal in a way that she regrets after taking each breath. She had ignited an enormous fire in my heart. I want to kill her, burn her alive, make her beg for death but that might also not vanish this fire." His jaw clenched as adrenaline rushed through his veins.

Irtaza was confused, he wanted to hate her but at the same time he wanted to love her. His mind as fucked up. But this was crystal clear to him that he wanted Zahra to be his and only his. He wanted to stamp his name at every corner of her heart. He wanted her for just himself. 

"Love my foot Irtaza. Betrayal can not be forgiven that easily. Will you divorce her? Dont repeat the mistake of our father. He should have tortured that woman to death who had the audacity to fuck another man behind his back. But what Baba did, smash the divorce on her face. If I were in his place, I'd have tortured that woman to death." He gritted, his anger fueling recalling everything occurred in his past. The betrayal of his mother was the sole reason he never had the courage to trust any other woman.

"Divorce her," he chuckled, his eyes stilled at one point, "Never. No. I wont let her go. She should know she's mine else I will make her admit on and on that she's just mine until its not fucking carved into her brain that whom she fucking belongs to. I'm nothing like my father who will barter betrayal with just a mere divorce. I'm Irtaza Haider Syed. She should have been aware of who her husband is from the start. I guess the right time has came to tell her who the fuck I am." He gritted, fisting his hands, his veins popping out. He turned his face towards his brother, his eyes holding a promise in them.

..................
Wohoooo guys. Irtaza still loves Zahra but her betrayal is making him hate her. (He does not completely hate her)
