FOREVER WITH YOU

Chapter 66: A Choice

When Tasleem falls into deep sleep. He slowly gets out of bed and heads to the door. He stepped out and closed the door behind him.

Sa'eed was waiting in the living room. When he saw Rayyan cascade down the stairs he walked to him and called "Boss." 

Rayyan nodded and asked. "Is everything ready?" 

"Yes."

Where is he?" 

"In the basement, the doctor came and dressed his wound." He looked a bit reluctant but he still said. "You have to see this." He passed Khalid's phone to Rayyan. 

Rayyan played the video, his expression didn't change but his eyes couldn't hide the pain and anger he felt. "It's good that we got evidence." He said. 

"Yes. I've already edited the video." Sa'eed said. And swipe the screen and the second video started playing. 

The video only shows Khalid's face. Tasleem's face was in blur.

When Rayyan finished watching the video. He said "Perfect." He praised and passed the phone back to Sa'eed. "Let's go meet him." He said and they walked out.

The basement was dim, cloaked in shadow except for a single, flickering bulb that was hung from the ceiling. Its light barely illuminated the room, casting shadows against the walls with the desk in the middle of the chairs.

In the center of the room, Khalid sat motionless, his body bound tightly to a chair. His face was covered by a large bandage, with a faint sight of blood. 

His eyes were shut, probably asleep. His breathing is steady but shallow. 

Since Rayyan and Sa'eed came into the room he didn't open his eyes oblivious to their presence. Rayyan sat down on the chair facing Khalid and Sa'eed stood behind him. "Wake him up." He commanded.

Sa'eed went around the desk and held Khalid's chin. He squeezed it with force, Khalid screamed from the pain and woke up. 

Sa'eed went behind Rayyan and stood looking at Khalid with hawk-like eyes. 

Khalid provocatively laughed even though he's in a lot of pain. "Are you annoyed? Your wife must have wanted me now. After all, I've made her feel better than you ever could." He provocatively said.

Sa'eed slapped him immediately after the word left his lips. 

Rayyan smirked, he didn't show a hint of anger on his face. Why should he waste his time with someone that is bound to suffer? "You are disgusting, you know that?" He said.

Khalid wanted to scream out of pain but he held it back , his eyes still turned red. "You do know that family members can't kill out here, so you have to let me go."

Rayyan didn't answer him and looked at his left shoulder and said. "Give it to me." Sa'eed passed him the envelope and Rayyan took out the documents in it. He kept it on the desk and put the pen on top of it. "Sign it." 

Khalid was surprised and looked at the paper in front of him. He curiously  read the context. It was a transfer of his 2% share in RH Corporation to Tasleem. Abba gave all his niece and nephews 2% share as a gift when they were born. And he got the same as well.

Why should he give away his share to Tasleem? To Rayyan's wife of all people? No, he would be stupid if he signed any paper today. "I won't sign it." He glared at Rayyan.

Rayyan chuckled and said. "You have too." He calmly replied. He knew Khalid wouldn't sign the papers easily. But he must pay the price for everything he did.

Sa'eed passed Khalid's phone to Rayyan, and he opened Khalid's Instagram and chose the edited version of the video and played it for Khalid's to see. "Sign it, or it will be uploaded. Then the whole world can see." He calmly threatened.
