Chapter 93

3 years later.

Anissa woke up at the wound of her buzzing alarm clock. Groaning, her hand went forward and she harshly shut down the alarm. She looked at the time and date and realized that it was the 12th of June.

A slow smile crept on her lips as excitement coursed through her.

Today marked the day of her third wedding anniversary. Technically, fifth since it had been five years since Anissa had been married to Shehryaar, but three since they true became a couple. And Anissa felt her heart warm up with happiness. Today was truly a good day.

Anissa got up and sat upright. She looked to her right and was saddened to see the side of the bed empty.

It had been two weeks since Shehryaar was gone on his Australian tour, extending his business in that country. He called her everyday but she missed him. Even though they face timed everyday, she missed him. She took his pillow in her hands and pressed it against her face: his musky scent still lingered there.
