Arrogant Destiny

Chapter 8: Complications

Finally, I had toured Vegas visiting all the casinos and checking out the monuments. I didn't think that my dream of seeing my favourite city would come true.

I didn't want to talk to Junaid after what happened but he insisted on taking me sight seeing since he knew I wanted to see every part of Vegas. I'm not really a person to give silent treatment but he hurt me a lot.

He hasn't seduced me once after that night. Was it because he respected my wishes to not have anything to do with him or was it out of ignorance and ego because I was just another sex toy to him?

From that day we sleep with our backs turned to each other. The only contact I made was kicking him if he snored. I just waited for the court case so I could get past him and resign as well. I'd rather be homeless and broke than work for him or see him any longer...

After long I see Zeenat requesting a video call and I answer it seeing that Junaid isn't in the room.

"Hey bestie, how you doing?" I ask her.

"You know, I'm always awesome." Zeenat always full of zest.

"Yeahhhh..." and I start drifting off again.

"What's wrong? Wait a minute! That's not your house...where are you, Jiya?" She must have seen the drapes in the back.

"God!! It's a long story." I tell her burrying my face in my hands.

"Cut long story short now!!!"

"I'm in Vegas...with Junaid."

"Oh wow, Jiya that's awesome!! Didn't you always want to go there, I bet you having the time of your life."

I wish. "I'm having the worst time!"

"Tell me what's wrong, love." She becomes worrisome.

"Junaid is not a good person, Zee. He..." I felt tears coming to my eyes and I wanted to reveal everything then he walked through the door. "He...made me...drink so much at the bar...the other night." I look at him while saying that and he gives me a dumbfounded look.

"What's so bad about that? Ohhhh...You guys did something freaky??"

"Errr.." I look at him again. How do I lie about this?

"Zee, I'm right here, you know!" Junaid interrupts our conversation.

"Okay gotta go, remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, love you." She says cutting the call. Great!

After the Vegas trip it felt so irritating to go back home knowing that I won't get five star treatment again. The ride back home was worse than the one we came. We did our own things and I slept like I was dead half the time.

When we were back at work the next day, I had to break the news.

"Junaid..."

"Sir, you mean." Oh fuck you!!

"No, I mean Junaid! I'm resigning, please accept my resignation."

"You not leaving!!" He shouted picking his head up from what he was doing.

"Why not? I can leave anytime I wish to, remember that I don't have a contract."

"That's not the point!! How...how will you live if you quit this job?"

"I don't see how it bothers you, that's my own problem."

"It is my problem woman because you're still my wife!! I don't care whether you are interested or not but tonight you'll pack up and stay with me." He says getting up and punches the table.
