Chapter Nine

"I screwed up Amir . And it's all Jamal's fault. He made me believe that  my Shawty was a spy and I almost hurt her " Omar confessed to Amir.

He really regretted his actions and didn't know what to do to make his doll forgive me.

"What happened ?" Amir asked.

"I handled her aggresively. She had her heartbroken by Jamal a few years ago, he run away with her former bestfriend and that's why she was afraid to fall in love. Now when she finally started to fall for me , I screwed up ". He explained to Amir.

Amir looked angry but he sympathized with his friend.

"Go up there, and make it up to her " he advised Omar.

Suddenly, Omar had an idea 💡, he remembered that he bought her an expensive jewellery set , he had forgotten to give her.

He was planning on giving it to her , but his meeting with his father messed his plan up.

He smiled widely and hugged Amir slightly and jogged to his room.

He gently picked up the jewellery set. He would present it to her and invite her for a dinner night.

He walked to her room and knocked.

There was no response after the 3rd knock.

He became worried and walked into the room.  He saw her sitting in the corner of her room , crying.

He run to her and threw the jewellery set on the bed.

"What's wrong baby?" He asked.

She flinched at his presence.  He was sad. She was scared of him.

He hugged her tightly. She begun crying into his chest. He was broken . His baby was crying and it was all because of him and that idiot Jamal.

"Baby ? I'm sorry girl. I really am " he apologised to her.

She slowly stopped crying but never lifted her head from his chest.

He carried her to her bed and when he looked into her eyes , they were bloodshot.

This means , she's been crying for so long.

"Baby, I'm sorry " he apologised once more.

"I-It's n-not y-you. I'm just feeling sick" she said.

Why was she feeling sick ? Perhaps her period had come ?

"Has your period come  ?" He asked her

She looked at him shyly and shook her head .

He knew that she was not speaking the truth.

"I'll leave you to lie down and rest , I'll send you some painkillers " he said as he kissed her .

She just stared at him. He kissed jer one last time , before leaving.

She stared at his back and smiled slowly.

'He is so caring ' she thought.

Omar's POV

It was cute to see her in her period.

She didn't really seem to be mad at me, but I guess it was part of her mood swings

I was sorry for hurting her.

I walked to her room with painkillers and sat down beside her sleeping body.

"Hey baby " I whispered into her ears.

She opened her eyes and I kissed her on the lips.

She held my cheeks and kissed me back.

"I'm sorry baby for what I did to you earlier "

I apologised once more.

She nodded and turned away from me as she faced the opposite direction of the wall

"Baby , I love you" I confessed.

She smiled and nodded.

I kissed her on her lips once morebefore getting up to leave.  She held unto my arm tightly.

"Don't leave me please " she said.

She looked like she was scared to be left alone.

I nodded and sat beside her.

She tried to get up and sit beside me.

She hissed as she did that. I guess it was abdominal pain.

"How do women do it ?" I asked her curiously.

She looked puzzled.

"Do what exactly?" She asked

"How do women survive menstrual pains ?"

She sighed and said

"That is one of the reasons why , a man should never hurt a woman. Despite her background, she's still a woman. It's painful but you have to endure it like everything else " she said as she stared the wall.

She was deep in reminiscence. Her eyes looked teary. A tear drop escaped from her eye.

I hugged her.

"It's alright baby. I'm never going to hurt you ! I promise you "

She looked at me as though she had heard that so many times already.

She sighed and shook her head.

I needed her to trust my love.

I kissed her on the head and knelt before her. I placed my head on her tummy.

"I love you Ilham" she didn't move , she just placed her hand on my hair and brushed on it gently.

She never spoke up. When I looked up at her , her eyes were red with tears.

She was saying something that was inaudible to me.

She looked directly ahead of her.

I rose up and carried her on my laps . She curled up into a ball on me. She was like a baby.

She slept off in my arms.

I was ready to make her forget everything in the past.

I was going to take her pain away.

I placed her down gently and walked out.

Amir

Omar is really in love with my stepsister. It was cute to see this ruthless man fall in love.

He is hiding something from me and from her. I know but , I can't really figure out what.

My stepdad called earlier on.  He wanted to know how Ilham was doing .

I told him , she was alright. She wasn't ready to talk to him. She was still mad at him for abandoning her.

She was such a sweet thing , so to hurt her was a sad and wicked thing to do.

Omar just walked in

"Ilham is going through a lot" he said.

"What happened? Is she still mad at you ?"

"No she isn't.  She's just reminiscing about something that hurt her in the past. I bet it's that fool Jamal. I swear to Allah, I'm going to kill her " he swore

That Jamal is dead for hurting my stepsister.

"I'm going to kill that idiot. Noone plays with my sister and goes scot free " I said maniacally as Omar looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Wow ! You're surprising! She's your stepsister but you're so overprotective over her . I thought , I was more over protective " Omar said.

Of course I'll be overprotective over her. She's too good to be hurt .

I just rolled my eyes at him and smiled evily.

I was going to do something diabolical.
