She could feel the pain slowly overcoming her soul. The agony, the grief, taking over all that she once thought was alive in her. She felt so empty that she was sure her whole body will echo if someone was to shake her. But she stood, rigid as though a hundred years old tree, clinging onto the only thing that made her alive; her eyeglasses. 

Through those glasses, she had seen things she had wished she could erase. She had hated the things she once loved, places she once cherished and the man she grew up to love. 

It didn’t matter who he was to her, his role in her life or even the title he possessed. She was going to take revenge, she was going to make him regret, she was going to make her father cry right before her eyes!

But what if he chose to add more pain to her aching wounds? The day he declared her married to a gateman, the strings left attaching her with him were forcefully cut off. And she was certain even if it would take her till eternity, so long as she stayed married to the gateman, her father would never know what happiness felt like!

Married To The Gateman

<p>"What do you think you re trying to do, Fareeda? How dare you matchmake my daughter with a gateman? Is it because you re getting married to him and you didn t want that? That s why you re resorting to making my daughter take your stead?" She furiously asked and turned to Asma u that was still crying beside Fareeda on the sofa, "And you, you have no self-respect or love, right? How can you, a daughter of a billionaire confess your love to a man? He can be everyone, and it will still be wrong. But to a gateman? Asma u I ll make sure your tears have turned to blood today!" She roughly pulled her up and Fareeda held her wrist before she stood up.</p>

<p>"Have you thought of the possibility that this lovely daughter of yours loves the gateman? I m not trying to push her to him, yes, I know I don t love him. No, I can t even love him my whole life, and I can t get married to the gateman because I have the man I love…"</p>
