I slowly opened my heavy eyes to find my mom standing by the window, smiling at me.

Princess, are you awake?" she asked softly. "How are you feeling?"

"I-I'm okay," I replied, turning my head to the side as tears streamed down my face. I heard her footsteps walking out of the room.

I desperately wanted to go back to my own home, but my dad has forbidden it since the incident. I have begged him, but he refused. "Wallahi, if it's about Ameera, I forgive her. I want to stay with my Ammar.

When I woke up in the hospital room, I was told I had been unconscious for days. The doctors have doubted my survival, but they said I was strong and would make it. It has been two weeks since I returned from the hospital, and my dad has made this decision. I also discovered that I am pregnant.

I was overjoyed when I find  out I am pregnant. At that moment, the only person I wanted to see is Ammar - I know he would be thrilled by the news. But I was devastated to learn that he isn't allowed to see me. I begged my dad, even going on a hunger strike, but they refused to budge.I felt like a prisoner, stuck in the house without access to a phone or permission to go outside. I was under strict security, courtesy of my dad, to ensure I didn't escape. And to make matters worse, I was forced to start working at ATO Architect Limited. My dad had assumed I was working all along, but when he discovered I wasn't, he became even more furious.

"I slumped backwards onto my bed taking steadying breaths, salty tears dribbled down my cheeks and onto my bed covers as I watched my chest move up and down. I didn't know what to feel, there were so many emotions coursing through my veins,..

"My hand over my flat tummy I can't believe there's someone in here..mine and Ammar baby it feels just like a dream...smile with mix of crying slipped from my lips..

"Breakfast is ready, princess," my mom said cheerfully, with my dad standing behind her. I closed my eyes, not wanting to engage.

"Princess, I made your favorite breakfast today... Look, waffles are here!" my mom said, trying to entice me. My dad added, "And pancakes with strawberry syrup, and crunchy egg fingers!"

I remained silent, covering my face with my pillow to block out their voices.

I guess you'll eat all these," But when my dad exclaim.

my eyes fluttered open, and tears streamed down my face. I got up, brushed my teeth, and washed my face, still crying. My mom fed me the food, and after I finished, she wiped away my tears.

"Princess, are you supposed to start work today?" my dad asked, and I nodded.

Well, you'll start tomorrow. Today, your mom and I are going out, and we'll leave you alone."

I nodded eagerly, a smile spreading across my face. I am  going to be free today!

Yes!" I exclaimed, jumping around my room the moment they went out . "I will get to stay home alone today !" I would sneak out to see my Ammar

I was so excited I didn't realize that my mom had entered the room again .

Princess , I just wanted to remind you about the rules. Your Dad and I have stocked the fridge full of food, so you won't run out.

Try not to eat too many desserts because of your pregnancy . You can watch the tv whenever you'd like. Try to read some books too, please so you won't be bored.

Remember, you are not allowed outside. Also, never answer the door. Now, stand up and take bath . I love you." She said.

"I love you too," I replied.
I take my bath and changed my cloths ,glancing at the time 8:am too early
