His Other wife.

Chapter 2.

Fadwa's POV

Am really scared.
what could be the cause of bilaal's sadness?
What can I do to bring back my old bilaal.
He has not been himself since yesterday night, I hope it's not a family issue.
Ya Allah make things right.

After breakfast , bilaal said he was not going to work today, he needs a day off to refresh himself.
I took my bath and left for work since I was going to handle mum's case for her.
Mum is the personal lawyer to Alhaji Muhammad Suraj, the owner of M Suraj enterprise, but currently his son became the CEO.
Mum was kind of sick , so she told me to help her handle the case since it's minor.

I got to the office ten minutes late, I stopped at the reception, I can't remember the last time  I was here.

"Good morning  ma, how may I help you" the receptionist greeted and ask.

"Morning , am the lawyer"

" Okay sorry ma welcome, this way upstairs , but your 10 minutes late , and my master is already angry"

She led the way to his office and informed him I was here.
She left , and I went in.

"Sorry , am very sorry  I was late , but this won't repeat itself, good morning am Mrs fadwa abduljalil"
I said with a smile.

He didn't even spare me a look, his eyes were fixed on his phone.
"Hello there good morning" I said this time tapping the desk.

He gently raised his head and looked at me,
"How would you come into my office and scare me,and who are you? "

I remembered mum told me to be nice,if not I would have give him an answer that suits his arrogant self, I took a deep breath and tried to smile.

"I am barrister Rahma's daughter, fadwa I'll be replacing her because she's sick am sure she told you"

" Okay , don't stand on my head have a seat"he replied, then dropt his phone on the desk.

His eyes fixed on me.
"Do you think I don't have other things doing,you kept me waiting for you over 20 minutes "

"As I said sir,am sorry it won't repeat itself,can we  start now"I asked after apologizing.

"Yes"he replied .

"Who can you think of , or who do you think envy your business and wants to see your downfall among your business partners"

"  They're so many of them,but there's this new guy we newly signed a contract with,his my prime suspect"

" Who could it be sir"

"if  not that bastard son of this senator maituraki, bilaal,who would it be"

I had to control myself , hearing him speak ill about my husband,how dare him.
I muscled up and continued,does he even know I am the maituraki's daughter in-law?.

"Please manners you don't speak ill about others ,I have another question to ask again"

" Sure go on"

" Sir can you be honest with me,did that cocaine come in your goods or you lied of being framed"

" What do you mean,is something wrong with you,are you okay" he stood up and said angrily.

"Because am sure that's how business men like you lie against others"I replied back angrily.

" Are you my lawyer or my enemy"he asked

"I was meant to be your lawyer but, You've just made me your enemy"

" If you can't do your job ,then let me handle that stupid guy  by myself, perhaps Anty rahma could have gotten someone more capable"

I went closer to him and said this to his face
" You'll not do that, because I am ready to stand for him at any cost, because that man is my husband,you should know how many miles I could go for him"I said picked my bag and was about to leave the office.
I was boiling.

"Even if he's wrong" his question made me stop.

I just looked and him and left.

When I got to my car, I was in there quiet for fifteen minutes.

What just happened?
Did bilaal do this?
Is that why his not himself?
Why didn't he tell me?

Am sure this mad man, just wants to frame him yeah.
Bilaal can't do this am very sure.

I rode back home, on getting home I didn't meet bilaal at home.
I checked every single place in the house, but he was no where to be found.

I asked the gateman and he said he went out immediately after I left for work.

And he didn't care to tell me?.
I quickly dialled  his contact,after two dials he picked up.

"Jaan,where are you" I asked immediately.

"I'll be back shortly baby just take good care of yourself" he said and ended the call.

I remembered I have to go to mum and warn her about those Suraj,there are dangerous to her career.
I took my car keys and left.

I reached mum's place and went into the living room.

"You!!" I said surprisingly.

Hey hope you enjoyed it.
