THE DEVIL AND HIS PRINCESS

CHAPTER 25

The next morning, Ayaat woke up to find Jahaan lying beside her, watching her. When he saw that she was awake, he asked, "Awake, Princess?" and began to gently run his fingers through her hair. Still angry about the events of the previous day, Ayaat quickly pulled away. But Jahaan grabbed her and pulled her back towards him, holding her tightly in a hug. Ayaat turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Jahaan sighed and said, "Why are you always so angry, Princess? Listen, some of my important business partners are coming to meet you today. Since our wedding was so simple, I invited them for dinner tonight. They'll be here by 8 PM, so make sure you're ready. I’ll order the main dishes, but it would be great if you could prepare something small with your own hands. I know you're an excellent cook."

He got up and said, "Alright, Princess, I'm off to the office now. I’ll be back with them by 8 PM, so be ready, okay?" With that, he went to get ready for work and then left for the office.

As evening approached, around 6 PM, Ayaat began preparing a sweet dish for the guests. After a while, she went to get ready herself. At 8 PM, Jahaan arrived with his guests. Ayaat greeted them warmly, and they returned the gesture before settling on the sofa. Jahaan introduced Ayaat to everyone, and she smiled politely at them.

One of the business partners, Mr. Ahmed, commented, "Wow, Jahaan, your wife is incredibly beautiful. Does she have a sister by any chance?" Jahaan, with a proud smile, replied, "No, she's one of a kind—the most beautiful woman in the world."

As the conversation continued, Ahmed’s eyes remained fixed on Ayaat, staring at her throughout the evening, making her feel uncomfortable.

Everyone was engaged in conversation, but Ahmed's eyes remained fixed on Aayat. Throughout the entire time, he couldn't take his eyes off her. After a while, Jahaan suggested they should all have dinner, and everyone agreed.

As they sat at the dining table to eat, Aayat began serving food to everyone. When she reached Ahmed to serve him, she placed some food on his plate, and while she was adding rice, Ahmed suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "That's enough, aayat , you've given me so much love with this food."

Jahaan noticed Ahmed's action but didn't say anything at the time. Aayat quickly pulled her hand away and rushed to the kitchen.

After some time, Ahmed asked, "Why isn't aayat eating?" Jahaan replied, "She'll eat later." Once everyone finished their meal, Aayat stood in the kitchen, away from the others.

Ahmed, under the pretense of putting his plate in the sink, entered the kitchen and touched Aayat's waist. He said, "How is Jahaan so lucky?"

Aayat, shocked, said, "What are you doing?" He then grabbed her hand and said, "Leave Jahaan and come stay with me, baby." Tears welled up in Aayat's eyes. She didn't know what to do. Just then, Jahaan walked in and saw Ahmed holding Aayat's hand and the tears in her eyes. His mind snapped. He grabbed Ahmed by the collar and dragged him to the living room, throwing him onto the glass table, shattering it. Blood began to spill from Ahmed's face as Jahaan continued punching him.

Everyone in the house was in shock, unable to understand why Jahaan was acting this way.Jahaan then placed his foot on Ahmed's face and said, "Next time if you even look at my wife, I will kill you."

Aayat stood in the corner, trembling and crying, witnessing something like this for the first time in her life. She was terrified. Jahaan lifted Ahmed, opened the front door, and threw him out of the house. He then turned to the remaining guests and apologized, "Please forgive me, but I think it's time for you all to leave."

The guests, still in shock, left the house. Aayat remained in a corner, crying, completely shaken by the incident. Jahaan walked up to her and angrily asked, "He was touching you , why couldn't you shout? Why didn't you call me?"

He yelled at her, making Aayat even more frightened. He then took a deep breath and stormed upstairs to their room. Aayat stood frozen for a while before sinking to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.
