Captive

Chapter-44

Another year passed and Rubab & Dawood was in the final semester of their collge. After that they will be gratulated from college.

Dawood was already getting job offers from prestigious companies all across the country. He grew up to be a skilled and intelligent man. Everyone in his college acknowledged him as a rising star. He wasn’t only good at studies. He was creative. He won gold medals at Physics Olympiad and was working on the development of robotics in his country.

Everything between Dawood and Rubab were going as usual. Rubab was still the same girl from school. Arrogant, proud and a narcissist. She used Dawood as much as she could. At this point, Dawood was completely crazy for her and she was still the same. Careless of his emotions. She was just waiting for the final examination. Once It's over she will ditch Dawood.

It was Friday and Rubab's house was dazzling with colourful lights. Today was Zulfiqar's birthday. One of Rubab's brothers.

Rubab was talking to one of her cousins while she felt someone watching her from a distant. She looked here and there and finally found a pair of deep brown eyes staring at her. The man was leaning against a door folding his arms. He was tall and handsome in simple words.

Rubab ignored him. Among the guests, she doesn’t know half of them. Most of the guests were her brothers colleagues and friends.

" Rubab?" a deep voice reached Rubab's ears. She turned around and noticed that the same guy standing.

Rubab asked," Yes?"

" You are looking gorgeous," the man complimented. He was mesmerized by her.

Rubab raised one of her brows," And you?"

" Seems like you have met Walid already," Rubab heard her brother Zulfiquar's voice.

Zulfiquar said resting one of his hands on Walid's shoulders," He is Walid. One of my colleagues and friends. Truth to be told the best of my colleagues."

Rubab only hummed and left the place. She understood the look in Walid's eyes. He was interested in her and she knew it. It wasn’t the first time a guy looked interested in her. She shrugged off Walid's thoughts because she felt nothing special about him. Looks weren’t enough to impress her.

The party was over. Rubab was in her bed holding her phone. She was chatting with Dawood. He was telling her about his improvement in a project he was working on. Rubab was just bored with his conversation so she just kept replying him with yes, hmm, ok etc.

All of a sudden, a notification caught Rubab's attention. She noticed a friend request. It was none other than Walid.

" Walid Hattab," Rubab whispered his name and clicked on his profile.

She was surprised after going through his profile. At first she thought he was just a random dude but he wasn’t. He was the only son of Waheed Hattab. A politician and billionaire.

Rubab's eyes widened after going through his uploaded photos. He have been to a lot of countries meaning he has enormous wealth. The lifestyle she just saw was nothing ordinary. The collection of his cars and houses awestruck her. He was good looking, has money and even belonged to a wealthy family. He felt like a perfect prince to her.

She clicked the accept button without further thinking. It didn’t took seconds for Walid to text her with hello. Just like this, they started their conversation.

" You have a cool collection of cars," Rubab said.

Walid answered," I will be thrilled if you allow me to show you my collection of cars."
