FOREVER WITH YOU

Chapter 24: I'm Here To Take Her Back With Me

The anticipated morning arrived.

Rayyan wore a black sweatpant, paired with a white top and a sleek black jacket. His athletic build was showcased to perfection.

He headed downstairs with his suitcase.

He was notified for an urgent business trip last night. He Walked to the living room where his Mamie was.

"Good morning, Mamie," he greeted her.

Every time he leaves for a trip, she always feels some type of way, because last time, he didn't come back for two years. "You're leaving?" She asked.

"Yes, just a two-day business trip." He reassured her.

Mamie's expression turned serious. "Don't stay long, okay."

"I won't, I promise." He reassured her. "And Tell Abba I've already left."

Mamie nodded, "Alright, I'll let him know. Take care." She watched as he left.

Amra and Mommy made their way to the servants quarters. As they entered, Mama sat on a carpet. Her eyes fixed on them. She quickly rose to her feet.

Mommy instinctively covered her nose with her handkerchief, her voice laced with distaste. "Keep your distance, you smell bad."

Mama's face darkened, but she took a deep breath, calming herself down. Reminding herself that she's doing this for the sake of money and for that sinful girl, so, it doesn't matter.

'It's okay, it's worth it if it means ruining Tasleem's life.' she thought.

"When can I see Tasleem?" Mama asked, a hint of desperation creeping into her voice.

Amra stepped forward. "We're more eager than you are." No matter how Amra looked at Mama, she felt dislike toward her, maybe because she's related to Tasleem or maybe because she doesn't like low life people.

Mommy said, "You know exactly what to do, right? Make sure everything goes according to the plan. I'll double the amount for you."

Mama nodded at them. "Yes, I know."

"When we leave, go straight to the last building you saw." Mommy instructed, "Don't go out until at least five minutes after we're gone. Do you understand?"

Mama nodded, her eyes darting between Amra and her mother. "Yes, I understand."

"Let's go." Mommy turned to leave, followed closely by Amra. Mommy looked around, her senses on high alert. As they hurried to their part.

As Mama stepped out into the bright morning sunlight.

Her eyes widened in shock, and her mouth hung open in disbelief. She gasped, her breath catching in her throat.

She hadn't looked around the previous night, shrouded in the darkness, but now the harsh sunlight revealed a sight that left her stunned.

Mama's gaze wandered, drinking in the luxury that lays before her eyes. She spotted sleek cars parked near every villa.

Her mind reeled, struggling to comprehend the extent of the family's wealth.

"How.... Tasleem.... Here...?" Her thoughts are consumed by wonder and curiosity. The ground felt heavier beneath her feet.

Mama took a deep breath, calming herself down as she slowly approached the last building. She stopped in front of it, her eyes fixed on the structure.

Tasleem had lived here for two years? While she lives in agony and dirt.
