TRAPPED

HIS-STORY

HAKEEM.

Married at ten and they expect that shit to last?? You gotta be kidding me!! I was a child who didn't even know what love really was and to make matters worse I hadn't seen or heard from Kira in years,. I was really shocked to come back and find that she was still waiting for me. Was it loyalty or stupidity?? I really couldn't care less because I had Amina by my side and I loved her very much, I had promised her father that I would take good care of her and I didn't intend on breaking that promise. Amina and I had met under very traumatic circumstances. I had been coming from a club with a hooker, I was half drunk and she was all over me, with the touching and distractions I ended up bashing into another car as I had swerved out of my lane. There was little damage done to me and the hooker but the other car had ended up losing control and smashing into a truck. The man who had been driving suffered a lot of injuries while his daughter came out with a broken arm.
I was really disappointed in myself and I felt guilty, I had ruined their lives and yet the man didn't even want me to be prosecuted, he kept on saying accidents happen. To ease my guilty I would visit every day at the hospital and even when they got discharged I would visit at home. From my frequent visits Amina and I ended up falling for each other just as her arm was healing.
Her father was so happy, even if I had landed him in a wheelchair he didn't seem to care, he was just happy that his daughter had found love. But I knew that if I took her home as my fiancé my parents would never approve so we got married there because I knew they would have no choice but to accept my wife. Two weeks before we arrived at the Palace Amina's father fell ill and died. I was all she had left and I promised on her father's grave that I would take good care of her.
Of course she had her flaws but who doesn't.
Upon returning home I was annoyed to find that Kira was there waiting for me and I wanted nothing to do with her, how could she claim to love me when she didn't even know me?? I tried all I could to hurt her and show her that the only woman for me was Kira but she was stuck with me, even if she wanted to leave it wouldn't be that easy. At first I was intent on getting rid of her and had started doing research on our customs hoping I would find a loophole which would allow me to divorce her but as time went by I discovered that she wasn't actually that bad.
I had thought she would be begging for my love and shamelessly throwing herself at me but she held on to her pride and dignity, making it clear that she didn't want to be there and was only around me because she was trapped. When I saw the way Liam was looking at her the very first time he visited I found myself getting upset, why was I even getting upset?? I had rejected her and shouldn't care about what she's doing or who she's talking to. But that didn't stop how I was feeling and I started expressing my feelings in anger because I wasn't supposed to notice her at all.
And when she put the needs of the kingdom before her emotions by acting civil during the selection ceremony I found myself admiring her even more, she had indeed been trained to be Queen.
That evening I had gone to thank her for helping with the selection, that was when I found her bathing and I just couldn't help myself, she was gorgeous and I wanted to touch her, but I also knew Amina wouldn't like it, I was a confused angry mess and ended up taking it out on her, leaving her hanging as punishment for being so breathtakingly gorgeous and arousing me when I couldn't really have her, not when I had Amina.
.
That night in Liam's castle I hadn't even been able to eat because I was disturbed, I had seen him appear behind her then take her away and the thought of him having his hands all over her enraged me, she was mine and no one else had the right to touch her, or look at her lustfully.
I had gone to wait for her in the room and with each passing moment I wondered if she would spend the night with Liam and it enraged me, I should have been happy that she would be banished and I would be free of her but I wasn't, I wanted her all to myself even if I couldn't really have her because of the promise I had made to Amina. When she walked into the room I was relieved and glad she had returned but when she leaned against the door and closed her eyes I wondered if she was thinking about him and I snapped at her then started questioning her...

And now she was sleeping peacefully in my arms and she looked like an angel, I wished I could do this every day but I couldn't, I wouldn't betray Amina, not after everything she had gone through, but I wouldn't let Liam take Kira either, I didn't care if I was being selfish and hurting her in the process, I just wanted her to stay, I would rather have an angry Kira by my side than no Kira at all. I had to talk to my father and see how he would react to Liam wanting Kira to be his Queen .
Slowly, taking care not to wake her I got out of bed and walked back to my room where I knew Amina would be waiting angrily, thankfully I found her fast asleep and snuggled up next to her, I was a mess and I knew it but what could I do?? I wouldn't betray Amina and I wouldn't let go of Kira, I knew she had had enough and wanted to leave but she was trapped with me and now she was seeing a way out with Liam, I had to make sure that didn't happen and remove him from her life, I had to come up with a plan, if my father wouldn't fight to keep Kira I would do it on my own, discreetly without raising suspicion in Amina, I didn't want her to realize that I didn't hate Kira as much as I was leading  her to believe.
