Who was waiting for an eid update?🥺😂
Eid Mubarak beautiful people! 🤩🎉
"Maria?" Tahir asked in disbelief. "No" He shook his head, eyes narrowed at the man. "Maria is capable of a lot of things but not murder"
The man scoffed, satisfied that he had spit out every drop of water Tahir forced in his mouth. "You of all people should know that money can do a lot of things" The man raised his head and looked at Tahir, exhaling loudly as his shoulders rose, then slumped. "She can't get her hands dirty, but she can get others to do the job for her"
Tahir looked away, trying to let the information sink in. It was hard to believe considering he had known Maria for years now, and never had she shown any sign of being capable of murder. She had always been a good person and she liked Rahma.
What could be the reason she was trying to harm her?
He didn't look into why Rabia was imprisoned, so he didn't know who she apparently killed. All he knew was that she was in prison for murder.
"Why does she want to hurt Rahma?" He turned to the man, drown drawn in deeply.
The man shrugged, "I don't know. I just follow orders"
Tahir pinched the bridge of his nose. "You were also responsible for what happened to Attorney Zarah, right?"
The man nodded.
Tahir had other questions, but he wanted to ask Maria it instead. By the looks of it, he would only get so much from this man. Sighing, he walked back to his original chair, leaving the cup beside the man on the table. "The police would arrive any time. I don't care whether you'll tell them who ordered you to do it or not, just admit that you were the one responsible for accident that happened to Zarah"
The man scoffed slightly, chuckling in the process. "And what about you? Do you think they'll let you go scot-free after attempting to poison me? Not to mention you kidnapped me!"
Tahir chuckled, sitting on his previous seat. "No. I didn't abduct you. I simply caught you when you tried to break into my house. I tied you up because you were being too violent and wanted to hurt me. I did everything out of self-defense"
The man's eyes widened slowly, "No one would believe you"
Tahir's smile widened. "You said it yourself didn't you. Money can do a lot of things. And for a hitman, you really are stupid"
The man stared at Tahir obviously offended by his words. "What?"
"The water" Tahir nodded at the cup, "It wasn't poison," He snickered "It was sugar"
"What..." The man's eyes widened. "No..." He shook his head. "You're lying"
"Do you want to taste it again?" Tahir chuckled. "You know it's true when they say people care about their lives to the extent that they can't even think straight when they think they're in danger" His smile fell, "You tasted it, you should've known but your fear didn't allow you to. Or did you think poison tastes sweet?"
