Forever His

Chapter 20: Mr and Mrs Jafri

Shahmeer's POV

It was 5:50 and I had just woken up. My neck was aching from sleeping on the sofa and my legs were numb. I turned to see Mahnoor peacefully sleeping. She looked beautiful even whilst she slept. 

I grabbed my towel and went to the bathroom to have a shower and get ready for work.

The bathroom was all fogged up by the time I was out and the smell of eucalyptus wandered around. I wrapped the towel around my waist and starting brushing my teeth. 

I had just gotten a report yesterday from the house that another one of my men had been brutally tortured and died from severe amounts of blood loss. He was a father of two daughters. I also had to go to the office today to write a cheque for them to be able to survive as he was the only breadwinner of the house. They'll be given money every month so they can pay rent, bills, shopping and of course, leisure.

I've told all the servants or anyone working at the mansion to go back to their homes, Bodyguards were told to stay to protect the house but seems as though that's not working. It was the Hussain family. I was sure of it. Ever since I've made an international company, they've been after my business and me. They want to take what's mine and feed on my money. I've had their spies working at my company once but I taught them a lesson they'll never forget.

I walked in the room only to see Mahnoor awake, scrolling on her phone.

"You're up early." She looked up at me and I couldn't help but notice her eyes lingering on my chest.

"Well then so are you." She spoke as she stared at my body. I got closer to the bed and lifted her chin up to match my face.

"Eyes up here, love." I felt her swallow the gulp in her throat.

"I'm going to work."

"Huh? You're going to the office."

"Well obviously."

"But it's our first day as a couple. Shouldn't you stay at home and plus the walima is tonight."

"I need to deal with a few things and I'll be back by 5."

"What about your dad? I don't want to stay here alone."

"Stay in the room. And this time, actually stay and don't cause me more trouble."

"First of all, you weren't the one being dragged by two bulky bodyguards. And second, I'm a human in case you've forgotten. I need to eat. Who am I kidding anyway? You're a robot - you wouldn't care or understand."

"I never said I was being dragged by two bodyguards. And none of that would've happened if you listened to me and didn't come out of the room. And maybe I am a robot. What does it matter to you?"

"It matters to me because I'm living with you."

"You know what. You have ten minutes to get ready. You're coming with me. We'll have breakfast at the office."

"TEN MINUTES?"

"9 minutes 57 seconds now. Better start moving."

"Fine."

She grabbed her clothes from the suitcase and went inside the bathroom to change and wash up. After a while, she came out and grabbed a little kit from the suitcase and pulled out some random things to use on her face. She grabbed out this scissor-looking thing and was about to use it on her eyes.
