"I dare you,"
He said to me with determination in his eyes.
"I dare you to accept my proposal. If you do then I will make you the happiest women on earth."
"What happens if I don't?" I challenged him.
Who does he think he is just popping back into...

CHAPTER SIX: Surprise
Adam Mathews
"It's nice to see you, son."
I hate when he says that word, son. Because every time I hear it I'm reminded of the fact that I'm related to a monster like him. "Wish I could say the same." I replied, he nodded his head in response. He looks different now, older in a way I guess. I would be lying if I said that I haven't thought of him over the years. I keep replaying scenes of the time he kidnapped Zamzam, the fear I felt when Alex got shot, all of it. I keep trying to put that all in the past but its become a part of me, you know? "So I heard you became Moslem," He said the word as if he was disgusted by it.
"I'm not Moslem," I copied the way he said it. "I'm Muslim and I'm a proud one."
"I'm disappointed in you. I never thought you'd be one of them."
I couldn't help but chuckle menacingly. "I don't give a damn if you're disappointed in me. The reason I came here wasn't to catch up with you but for me to tell you to stop trying to contact me and my wife." I leaned closer to the glass as I stared him down. He looked shocked when I said the word 'wife'. "So you married her? Ha!" He laughed. "You sure have a weird taste in women."
"Say what you want but I swear to God if you ever lay a finger on her or anyone else that I love I will make your life a living hell. I've said everything I needed to say so I'm done here." I hung up the landline and walked away feeling closure. I'm finally able to walk away from this man and never look back.

"Aw who's this cutie?" I said as I sat down on the sofa, I'm guessing this is Zamzam's older brother's daughter. For some reason I've always felt that he didn't like me. Whenever I was around he'd give me this weird look that I couldn't explain. "This is my niece, Samira." Isa said as he picked her up and set her on his lap.
"You my uncle?" Samira said with an adorable look on her face. "Yes I am, you could call me Uncle Adam." I replied as I ruffled her soft brown hair. "Mashallah, she's adorable."
"Yeah she is, Mashallah." Isa agreed as he looked at her fondly. "Okay it's nap time now, so let's go." He motioned for her to get on his back and took her up stairs. Suddenly the door opened and in came Abdirahman. He turned to me and immediately a look of annoyance came across his face. "You know what dude if you have a problem with me then just say it." I couldn't help but feel annoyed.
