Chapter 36| Regret

Rayyana's POV

This is getting ridiculous. I phoned Asad for the 345th time, ever since our fight he hasn't come back home and it was starting to piss me off. For the 345th time it went to voicemail and for the 345th time I left a voicmail telling Asad to come back home.

I put my phone down and sighed, did he have a match right now? I checked all the news stations, and checked all the channels on the T.V but not once did I see Asad's team.

He's avoiding me.

I don't know why I felt sad when I thought that, I hated him didn't I? I also was upset because the girls had left 4 hours ago and Rumaisa was feeling sick today to hang out with me.

I was bored to say the least, So I decided to go on Amazon and check out some books. I came upon a series called the Kill Dorothy series and by the description it sounded interesting. It had 3 books for the whole series and so I bought it.

It was coming by tomorrow with amazon prime it would come by today. I hesitated and thought he told me his money was also my money right?

I clicked on the Amazon prime subscription and watched as it told me that my order would come by tonight. I smiled and closed my phone eagerly waiting for the books to arrive.

Suddenly, I jumped when I heard the front door open. I looked over in a panic and sighed in relief when I saw it was just Asad. But then again, should I be sighing in relief? He looked mad as he stomped over to me.

"What the fuck?" He yelled, I crossed my arms and got up, his 6'0 frame towered over my 5'5. "Well, hello to you too." Sarcasm was filled in my voice but I was shaking.

"Why the hell did you get Amazon Prime?" How did he know, and how did he get here so fast? "Where were you?"

He sighed and rubbed his forehead "Nevermind where I was, why did you get Amazon prime?"

"You wanna know why? Because my friends have gone back to their home country, My friend here is pregnant and tired my "family" that is here and somewhere in this little town and my husband is mad at me for something he can fix himself."

Asad stood there while I took a deep breath and continued "Javaria want's you Asad for your money and fame, stopping her is easy because you have money. If you want, I can go over there and kill her for you because I wIll Asad."

I was sick and tired of Javaria coming into my life and trying to steal my husband, I was tired of all of this. "I just want to belong somewhere." I mumbled and sat down on the sofa sighing.

I was done with all of this, I need those photos so I can be free.

"Please Asad, let me leave. This marriage is fake and I don't want to continue something like this." Suddenly, he was right in front of me.

I looked up at his angry face "No, you are not leaving." I sighed and leaned back "What do you want from me Asad? You hate me, yet you don't want me to leave." He was confusing himself, and me.

He stood there not answering my question "My parent's are coming over tomorrow, you know what to do." And then he left me alone all over again.

I stood in the mirror and admired the long dress Juan had gotten me. It was amazingly beautiful and it had pockets!

I smiled at myself and thought I feel like a princess!

The door opened to me and Asad's room and Asad walked in fumbling with his dress shirt. He was wearing a black dress shirt, with grey pants. Even though I was mad at him, I had to admit he looked like a snack.

"Fuck." he mumbled, I applied some lipstick and put it down on the dresser, I turned to Asad and hesitated before walking up to him and grabbing the sleeve he was working on. I quickly buttoned them together and did the other sleeve.

I said nothing and instead walked off. I looked around the apartment and nodded with approvement. our housekeeper Mia came out of the kitchen and I quickly packed up some food for her and wished her good luck for the day. 

A few minutes later Asad came out with a tie and pointed to it, I sighed and opened up my phone. "Rayyana, I'm telling you to help me." I nodded and showed him my phone.

I had never tied a tie before so I saved how to tie a tie on pinterest years ago. I followed the step and I ended doing a pretty good job.

Asad stared at me the entire time I was tying his tie, I had thought I had done a good job but then Asad removed his Tie and I watched as he tied it better then me. 

"Why did you ask for my help if you know how to tie a tie?" Asad shrugged and smirked at himself. I huffed but then straightened myself when the doorbell rang.

Here we go

"Mashallah, look at how beautiful she looks Amjad." Asad's mom Faatima explaimed pinching my cheeks. I smiled at her as she rambled on about how thin I looked. I just smiled along. 

Soon, it was time for us to eat. I placed all the Wonderfull food me and Mia had made, I gave credit to her and Faatima agreed with me. "So.. your one year anniversary is coming in a few days." Asad and I stopped eating. 

"And.. you know after that maybe it's time for a..." Asad and I looked at each other knowing full well what she meant. Asad cleared his throat and successfully changed the subject.

I finished washing the dishes and I was cleaning my hands when I felt someone behind me. I turned around to see Asad's dad Amjad. "Your food was very delicious." He smiled at me and I smiled back "Thank you." 

I put the towel back and turned to him "Rayyana... are you and Asad okay?" I didn't want to give anything away so I continued standing there not moving "Of course." He didn't nod or anything.

"Okay." He moved closer to me and lightly touched my shoulder "I know you have no parents, So me and Faatima want us to be enough for you. Asad is mean sometimes, but he is nice from the inside." 

I nodded, He was kind of right.

"You and Asad are perfect for each other, and I am glad he fell in love with you." 

We did a side hug and he went to the room we had set up for him and his wife. I watched him walk away, my second dad and all I could feel was regret.
