FOREVER WITH YOU

Chapter 63: She Would Rather Die Immediately!

Before she lost consciousness she heard Khalid say. "It's okay, I'll take good care of you."

*****

Rayyan was in a meeting when Sa'eed answered a phone call.

Rayyan knew Sa'eed well. Unless something really bad had happened, he would not have answered a call in the middle of a meeting.

Sa'eed grew anxious. He came to Rayyan's side and whispered in his ears. "Boss, something bad happened."

Rayyan's expression darkened. He turned to the five middle aged men before him and said. "Something important comes up, the meeting is adjourned." He informed them.

The middle aged men looked at each other as they watched Rayyan leave the room.

"What's wrong?" Rayyan asked.

Sa'eed grew more anxious, he knew they'd messed up. Badly. "Boss.. it.. it's.." he stammered.

Rayyan's expression darkened. "Straighten your tongue and tell me what happened."

"It's Khalid. He got a substitute to stay in the hospital as him. and our men didn't notice till now."

Rayyan stopped in his footsteps. He was furious. "Since when?" He asked.

"Since the day we left."

Rayyan released a breath when he heard that. "What did I pay them for? they couldn't even get simple tasks done? They're fired!" He took a deep breath to simmer down his anger. "Get the jet ready, we are going back immediately!" He commanded.

Sa'eed nodded and said. "Yes, Boss."

Rayyan went to his room and packed his luggage. He stepped out and walked over to one of the black cars that were waiting for him. He got into one of them and they drove away.

The ride was quiet as they made their way through the city and onto a more open road. After a short drive, they arrived at the private airstrip. The gate opened without a delay and the car continued toward a private jet parked at the tarmac.

Once they're on board. The door sealed behind him with a quiet hiss. A few moments later, the jet began to move, slowly rolling down. Then it picked up speed, lifted off the ground and disappeared into the sky.

It was dark outside before Tasleem woke up. She still felt dizzy.

She struggled to sit up, only to find herself in a familiar yet strange room. It was her room, at least it's not Rayyan's room. She took a sigh of relief and her eyes welled up with tears.

Every corner of the room was decorated with roses. She was laying on the soft bed. And there were many delicate roses beside her.

She recalled the scene before she fainted and her heart sank. She immediately checked her clothes and heaved another sigh of relief after confirming that she was fully dressed. And it doesn't look like anything happened to her.

She tried to get out of bed but she felt weak. It must still be the cause of the smoke he blew on her face. She gripped the bed sheets tightly.

"You're awake?" He sounded excited. "You look more peaceful when you're asleep." He hated her defensive look.

Tasleem looked at the source of the voice and gritted her teeth. "Ya Khalid, what did you think you're doing? Let me go." She then dragged her body off the bed and prepared to leave.

Khalid's voice suddenly became gentle. "I actually love you Tasleem, but you seem to not appreciate my love for you." He unlocked the phone in his hand and opened the camera. He put the phone on the side drawer and the video started recording.

Tasleem realised what he was trying to do. She rushed to the door.

He narrowed his eyes but didn't get mad. He watched as she rushed to the door but couldn't open it.

Khalid laughed loudly and said. "The key is with me Tasleem. Come back here, don't waste your energy." He smiled and walked towards her.

Tasleem moved away from the door and he walked closer to her. "Tasleem after this, you just have to accept me, look, I'll record the whole process and show it to the whole family. Rayyan will have no way but to divorce you, at that time no one would like you, everyone will despise you. But Tasleem, I'm different, I love you, I'll take care of you. You will have no one to rely on but me."

Tasleem's palm turned sweaty from his words. "Did you really think this is love? Ya Khalid believe it or not but this is not love, it will only make me hate you more."

The man chucked. He seemed to notice her lack of energy and his smile became more relaxed and confident. "Don't you know that love starts with hate?" He walked to her and stroked her pale face. "You'll slowly love me, I just know it. Just like the way you love Rayyan now."

Tasleem avoided his fingers and glared at him. Her hair stood on end. And she moved back again. "I'll only love Rayyan in this life."

The smile on his face vanished. And he slapped her hard.

Tasleem fell down from the impact of his slap. She felt a buzz sound in her ears. Blood flowed from the side of her lips.

"Why are you so stubborn? After all the love and care I showed you!?" He shouted. It looks like he was on the verge of exploding from anger.

Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollable. "You can have any woman you want..." She said, "but I'm your cousin's wife... Please let me go..." She had to think of something, something to distract him, to stall for time.

He sat down and looked at her eyes. "Because you're his woman. So I have to make you mine." Khalid said as he stroked her chin.

Tasleem was shocked and suddenly pushed him away. She stood up and said. "What would you get from doing all this?"

He looked like he was thinking for a moment and he stood up. His voice became gentle. "YOU and Rayyan's PAIN." He dragged the two words on purpose and smiled.

Tasleem's eyes widened. "You're just jealous of him. Because he's better than you in everything. So you wanted to destroy everything he had..."

Khalid's eyes widened and he acted like he received the shock of his life. As if his biggest secret was discovered. He chuckled and looked at her seriously. "That's the point Tasleem, that's the point. Why does Rayyan have to have everything? Why? I saw you first, I love you first! We're the perfect match. But why does Rayyan have to come and snatch you away!" He shouted at the end of his word.

Tasleem was lost for words. Just because he saw her before Rayyan, did that mean she had to accept him? Only a mad person will think like that! "You can't force love, I won't love you even if I didn't get married to Rayyan."

"Really?" He lowered his eyelashes and after a while, he chuckled and said, "Then we will see after you sleep with me."

Tasleem was horrified. There was nothing she could do other than stall for time with conversation. She might not fool him for long. But at least she had time. "Ya Khalid, please let me go." She pleaded.

"No, I can't." He smiled gently. "Isn't it good to be my woman? I can give you whatever Rayyan can. Maybe even more."

Tasleem looked down as if she was thinking.

Khalid smiled and waited.

However, she suddenly pushed him away and rushed to the side drawer.

Khalid looked at her with interest in his eyes. Her long dark hair hung loosely on her shoulders. She was trembling, but her face was flushed, making her look like a pitiful lamb.

It was so... delicious.

Khalid walked over and reached out to her. "Come here. You can't run away." He wanted to break that innocence of hers today. He would have her no matter what!

"Ya Khalid, please let me go... I beg you please." Tasleem was terrified. More tears rolled down her cheeks.

What would she and Rayyan do if Khalid really violated her?

She would rather die immediately!
