Descent into Darkness:Rahim Shaikh Saga

28

As Rahim's mind swirled with a tumult of emotions, he found himself consumed by a mixture of anger and jealousy, driving him to assert his dominance over Zara once more.

Their passionate encounter left their clothes strewn on the floor, each moment punctuated by Rahim's overwhelming emotions.

Despite the intensity of their physical connection, it was the tender gaze exchanged between them afterward that resonated deeply with Zara.

In Rahim's eyes, she glimpsed a glimmer of love, a sentiment she had longed to see reflected back at her.

However, their intimate moment was abruptly interrupted by a knock at the door, jolting Rahim back to reality.

With a heavy heart, he tore himself away from Zara, helping her to compose herself before they both got dressed.

As he prepared to face the impending marriage ceremony, Rahim couldn't shake the sight of Zara's tear-streaked face from his mind.

Despite his stoic exterior, he felt his heart shatter at the sight of her pain.

Walking out of the room, Rahim's mind was a blur as he navigated through the remaining rituals of the marriage proceedings.

When presented with the marriage certificate to sign, the image of Zara's hurt expression flashed before his eyes, causing his grip to tighten around the pen.

Despite his inner turmoil, Rahim proceeded with the formalities, his heart weighed down by the knowledge of the pain he had caused Zara.

As they continued with the rituals, Rahim couldn't shake the feeling of guilt and remorse gnawing at him from within, a stark reminder of the consequences of his actions on the woman he loved.

In the dimly lit study room, Marco Xavier and Vincent sat together, the atmosphere heavy with anticipation.

"I have sent Rahim a wedding gift."

Vincent, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, broke the silence by revealing his wedding present for Rahim.

Marco raised an eyebrow, curiosity evident in his expression as he inquired about the nature of the gift.

"So, what is the gift?"

With a smirk, Vincent leaned back in his chair and replied,

"Not 'what,' but 'who'."

Xavier's interest piqued, he leaned forward, echoing Marco's question,

"Who is it?"

Vincent's smirk widened into a knowing grin as he uttered a single word,

"Rose."

The revelation left Marco and Xavier momentarily taken aback, their expressions shifting to a mixture of surprise and amusement.

As Vincent rose from his seat, he left the room, leaving Marco and Xavier to exchange knowing glances, intrigued by the implications of Vincent's gift.

Entering the room, Vincent's gaze fell upon Emily, who sat upon the bed, her expression devoid of any emotion, resembling a mere puppet being manipulated by invisible strings.
