Chapter 30: Andrew meets Zain

**Outside the ZAK Warehouse, 12:30 am**

"وقف (Stop)," Amar screamed as the truck approached the white point.

The truck driver instantly hit the brakes. He climbed down from the seat and stood beside Amar.

"هل كل شيء جيد؟ (Is everything good?)" Amar asked.

"نعم سيد شاب. كل شيء مثالي (Yes, young master. Everything is perfect)," the driver replied, and Amar gave him an appreciative smile.

"احصل على دفعاتك من زكري (Get your payments from Zakariya)," Amar instructed. The driver nodded gratefully and walked away.

A message popped up on Amar's phone, and he opened it.

"Amar, S or F?" ~ Zafar.

"It's 'S,' bhai." ~ Amar replied.

Zafar pumped his fist in the air and hugged the blonde lying beside him.

"Baby, is everything all right?" she asked.

"Of course. Now nobody can win over this Zain," he uttered, letting out an evil laugh.

Andrew was getting ready in a salwar kameez. After finishing, he took some documents and went to the living room.

"Nick, are you ready?" he yelled, glancing at the side room.

"Yes, boss," Nick shouted while opening the door.

"Let's go. Zafar must be waiting for us." Nick nodded, and they both manoeuvred outside.

Andrew felt uneasy as he heard sounds coming from the ZAK mansion. He glanced at Nick, who seemed equally confused. They reached the doorstep and found the door ajar.

"PLEASE LEAVE HIM!" Mumtaz's shout echoed. Andrew entered hesitantly and heard more shouts and thrashing sounds from upstairs.

"SON OF A BITCH, I WILL KILL YOU NOW," Zafar screamed.

Andrew and Nick gasped in shock as they saw a little boy stumbling down the stairs, crying furiously, his face and body marked with bruises.

"RUN, ZAINNNNN..." Mumtaz shouted, holding the door tightly where Zain was locked inside.

At the last step, Zain was about to fall from exhaustion, but Ryan rushed and saved him.

"Hey, buddy," Andrew patted his red cheeks, his eyes widening at the sight of the finger marks.

"Ahhh..." Zafar pushed the door, causing Mumtaz to fall on the floor.

"I will see you later," he glared at her and ran to find Zain.

Zafar halted, seeing Zain in Andrew's arms. Mumtaz sighed in relief.

"Mu...Mustafizur, welcome. I...I was waiting for you," Zafar managed to speak.

"What is this, Zafar? What have you done to your son?" Andrew asked. Zafar gulped, trying to fabricate a lie. Mumtaz seized the opportunity and rushed towards Andrew, taking Zain in her arms.

"Baccha, ammi is here. Open your eyes, dear," Mumtaz uttered lovingly, kissing his cheek. She asked Nick to get the jug on the side table, which he did. She sprinkled some water on Zain's face, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Andrew sighed in relief and looked at Zafar for answers.

"I know I did wrong, but if our children commit a huge mistake, we should punish them, right? That's all I did," Zafar said. Mumtaz stared at him angrily.
