Possession

43. Chained

They both were now in the car driving back to his mansion, she was awake now. A sudden sadness settled inside her on thinking that she has to go back to that hell. Even its been just a day there that place was being more than hell to her. Her deepest fear has came true. She is all alone, with no one to help her there.

"Remember what I had told you last night?" Irtaza asked grabbing her attention.

She blinked several times, trying to find the purpose behind his words. Minutes passed but she was confused, what she should answer?

"Hmn Zahra? Do you remember?" he asked again, urging her to answer, while taking a turn to left. His eyes fixed on the road.

"Yes, I rem...ember" she replied, her voice meek.

"Then repeat what I had said"

"You said th..at I'm not allow...ed to do any...th..ing with...out yo...ur per...mission." she stuttered, her heart beating fast as if it will pop out of her chest any moment. Worst scenarios begin to accumulate in her mind.

"Good so what were you saying to Moosa?" he questioned and her heart sanked.

Did he hear that?

"No, no, I wasn't say...ing anyt...hing" she lied, shaking her head left and right, hysterically. Her eyes widened as she tightly fisted her hands.

"Should I cut your tongue for lying to me?" he said, his voice suddenly dropping octaves down, showing the seriousness behind her words..

"No! No! I won't lie! I won't lie again!"

She gulped, feeling utterly terrified. His eyes were fixed on the road while she was looking towards him with terrified eyes. Not for a second he had turned his head and looked towards her otherwise she would have peed.

"So did I allow you to complain and sob like that infront of my fucking friend?"

"No you didn't. I was fee...ling alo...ne an-" she stuttered, coming up with the answer what her mind gave but he cuts in.

"How should I punish you for disobeying me?"

"I won't do th..at ag..ain. Ple..ase"

"Say the punishment Zahra"

"Sor..ry" she cried out, her tears flowing down.

"Let me think"

"Pl..ease sorry" she cried out. She was afraid what humiliation he will make her go through.

How will I stop him from punishing me?

"Sorry won't do anything. This was the last time you were out of the mansion. Now you can't go anywhere." he stated in his harsh crude voice and small hiccups left her mouth.

He was caging her into that mansion.

"What I've done?" she cried out and his jaw clenched. Anger begin to dance in his eyes.

He abruptly applied brakes, stopping the car in mid of nowhere, making her startle.

He looked towards her, his eyes venomous, he suddenly grabbed her jaw and forced her to look towards him.

"Do you still have the fucking audacity to ask that?" he gritted, increasing his hold on her jaw.

"On our wedding day you fucking ran away with that fucking bastard! You ignored all my fucking warnings! You played with my fucking feelings! You fucking put up a charade infront of me to gain my trust just to run away with that fucking lover of yours! And you still dare to fucking ask what you've done?!" he boomed, anger evident on his face.
