The Night fell, The man sat down the bed, grasping the frame in his palm, tears gushing down his eyes as pain encircled around his soul, he breathed heavily as he commenced to restrain his hiccups, pretending to be strong and not to break down.

❝ How excruciating it must be to lose your beloved ones, no matter what power you hold, you can't change what's written in your destiny ❞ She gets in the room, and stare at her beast seated across the floor with the frame in his palm, his pair of ocean blue eyes flashing with tranquility taking a glimpse at her, a day has passed since that incident now, the truth still didn't come to light yet.

Fayra kneels on the white marble floor, drowning in the pair of teary eyes, the ruthless mafia was letting her glimpse his fragile side that he had shown none, but his heart urged him to let her in, to let her drink in him.

❝  This man looks familiar to you ❞ Mystified Fayra apprised, staring at the elderly couple in the frame, making Musa's lips twist into a smile, nodding his head as his heart yearned for him to let go of his past .

❝ My parents it is ❞ he divulged, a tear rolling down his eyes, as he turned the other way around concealing it from her, but something in Fayra made her pull his cheeks softly and wipe the tears of his eyes,as she assured him in her eyes to let it go and he breathed in heavily.

❝ Mr. Ahmed Ali, He was the commander of Mr. hassan Khan, my father who loved me to the infinity and the back, i was Nine at the age When he betrayed my father and assassinated him one night ❞ his lips quivers as he commenced to tell the tales of his hideous past, his heart throbbing in agony as Fayra's hands commenced to quiver, tears rolling down her eyes and the truth fiddle in her clouded mind.

He held her delicate palm in his large ones, as she began to muffle deep breaths unable to process the excruciating words he just uttered, myriads of questions clouding her hazy mind, as she licked her dry lips.

❝  My father was a feared Mafia, he always assisted the needy and never harmed any innocent soul ❞ he Divulged further, wiping the tears that shimmered down her dark intoxicated pair of dark gray eyes, he shook his head asking her not to cry, but a sob slipped her dry throat.

❝ And your - your mother ? ❞ She quivers, squeezing her eyes and didn't overlook the look of hurt that his ocean blue eyes carried, he commenced to tremble and Fayra couldn't believe that her own father can pull such hideous act, but what good she can expect from that monster who tortured his own daughter and left her to suffer and sold to someone she had no idea off.

But now her heart feels that whatever destiny plans are for the best, she finds solace in the arms of her beast and her heart has left the urge to accept him.

❝ Mrs.shaima Hassan Khan, she was madly in love with my father, The day she acknowledged my father having affair with Mrs. Laila Ahmed Ali, she vowed to kill him ❞ he muttered, his voice came out tight and wobbly, He placed a kiss over his wife's forehead, who commenced to quiver and sob, unable to endure the pain, she couldn't believe the past he carried, now she wanted to know more, and by each passing second she loathed herself for recognising them as her parents.

❝ unaware that she was trapped in the lie that Mr. Ahmed Ali told, it's a myth, there was no game of any affair with anyone, my father was a one woman man, but Ahmed wanted to demolish my father and brainwashed my mom to believe about the affair he had with his wife ❞ He continues, concealing her face in his muscular chest, her tears had no edge to cease and her heart shattered into pieces, unable to hear anything anymore, she felt the need to breathe.

❝  My mother paid Ahmed to kill my father, and later at the same day she attempted suicide out of remorse is what I heard from my grandmother ❞ His words kept chanting on her mind, as she stands on her feet followed by him, he wipes the tears of his eyes and turn around, staring at the moon out from the vast glass window, his hands shoved in the pocket as he breathed heavily.

Assuring himself of so many things, the flashbacks hit him hard as his jaw tightened, he wouldn't sit quietly unless he killed that monster with his own hands, he would make him pay for torturing his wife and for the cause of his past.

❝  Why did you marry me ? ❞ The most paramount question was finally asked, she turn the man around and make him look through her dark gray eyes, and her eyes stared at his soul, she drank in the remorse detected from those dazzling eyes, as he stared at the blank spot intently, not meeting her eyes as the guilt commenced to eat him alive.

❝  To - to get my revenge but I had no idea I would fall for you ❞  he appraised, his voice came out shuttering as he held her trembling palm in his, and imploring in his eyes to forgive him.

❝ I grant you permission to punish me sunshine ❞ he says, placing her palm over his cheeks as her fingers brushed his beard before she withdraw her palms, uttering the words from her wounded heart as she walked out the room, tears freely falling from her eyes, leaving the man to stand with his shattered heart.

❝  My faith has taught to endure pain but never make anyone taste it  ❞
