Prologue 2

It had been 5 years .

It had been 5 years ,he had left me.

He left me alone in this cruel world with a baby, when he vowed that he would always be there. 

I didn't think I would be able to forget even though it was a dream, his cold body fell limp, his soulless eyes staring at me, his dry lips and pale face.

He would always have a space in my heart that no one could replace or steal.... But I'd to move on.

It was my wedding day. I was getting married to my childhood love--Abdulrahman.

He stood by my side and helped me  through all those years that I thought I could never pass through.

I didn't want to reminisce about those periods, I'd moved on, I chanted to myself. I'd moved on for my son .

I loved Abdulrahman, he proposed to me some years ago but I was still drowning in misery. I accepted his proposal last year and here I stood before the mirror like a new bride.

Please help me through ya Allah, I prayed silently.

"Here comes the beautiful bride" maryam screamed happily. 

I smiled at her and glanced at my husband's two-bedroom, he smiled at me showing his white pearls teeth with his prominent dimples. My heart skipped. 

After the Nikkah, we drove to our house. My new house and home. The house was cozy, it looked normal, not like Yusuf's gigantic house.

He unlocked the door, we entered together and said our Teslim. 

I walked past him but he  lifted me up suddenly and instinctively I wrapped my legs around his waist. 

He looked at me with adoration "do you know how many times I've dreamt of this" he whispered huskily, he looked at my lips.

I knew what he wanted, I nodded my head giving him permission. His mouth descended to mine.

As the kiss deepened, I felt myself yanking away from him and my body hit the wall hard. I groaned out, looking at him confusedly.

"You," he yelled, his face contouring red in anger. 

"What happened?" I asked in fear and confusion, what had I done wrong?. 

"You dared moan out his name while I was kissing you. I know you are a whore. You left me for him because of his money and fame" he yelled while walking towards me, I shook my head vigorously not wanting him to come near me. He looked like a predator ready to pounced on his prey. 

He laughed maniacally"where is he now".... He scowled "oh ,I remembered, he's under the ground 6ft" he taunted me.

"I will make you regret ever leaving me for him. All the pain you caused me ,I'm going to enjoy inflicting it on you."he spat out with disgust and so much venom.

He slapped me hard, I felt my consciousness zoning in and out.

Blackness came to greet me and I happily embraced it.

"I hope I've not married wrong " was the last thought on my mind before everything disappeared.
