Veil Of Innocence

Chapter 15

Salha

"You did what?!"

"I couldn't lie to him anymore"
she sobs

"Why didn't you pass this information onto me before you made the decision to tell him?
Please tell me this is a prank or else I'll separate your head from your neck!"

"Why is it that I have to pass everything by you but you can do whatever you want and nobody has to know? This is the exact reaction I expected from you, that's why I didn't tell you earlier"

"Because I'm the one here with a brain, the one who makes sensible decisions and informs the other about them. Honestly Sahla I expected more from you being the smart one"

"I'm tired of this game, this running; if I have to pay for my sins I will do it just to get some peace of mind.
I didn't mention you so you're safe, now quit looking at me like I'm a five year old"

"Do you not realise that if the cops are involved they will uncover all the details; good luck hiding me then!
I can't believe we're going to jail because of you.
How could you make such a dumb move?
Didn't you at least think about mum?"

"Just the way you made the decision to be a slut at a trashy party.
I am doing this for mum!"

And at this moment anger took over me so suddenly that my hand swung across her face and I instantly regretted the impulse

"I went through all that just to protect you.
Ibrahim is not a good guy. We need to move away before things get too intense"
I calmly announce

"Things already are intense!
You can go away if you want to, run away from your problems like you always do but I'll stay.
Because I know that Ibrahim will come around.
And don't tell me otherwise! I've listened to you far too long; I can't live in your shadow anymore and you definitely don't have the right to make my decisions for me."

She was standing up to me, her sister, her well wisher just because of some guy we met a few months back?
Being love struck made her so aggressive it got me scared.

We couldn't go to jail, it just wasn't an option. Sahla was being saintly about the whole paying for her sins but I know her; she wouldn't be able to last an hour in the cells.
And knowing how much of a high headed snob Ibrahim is; he won't spare her, he won't agree to the fact that someone has played him to this extent.
He thinks he is 'untouchable' and he will do everything to make sure nothing tarnishes his reputation.

I cant see my sister suffer like that, we have to leave from here even if that means drugging Sahly and transporting her in a ship using a cage like a zoo animal.

.......

"Look Salha I know you only want what's best for me and I'm sorry I said all those horrible things to you... but your slap really hurt"

"I'm so sorry baby sis, I didn't mean for that to happen but I was so mad. We need to go ok? So we don't keep fighting like this"

"Yes but on one condition"

"No more conditions Sahla, we're in enough danger already"
I know she'll ask me to wait for a bit longer but I cannot give her that luxury

"Just till the end of this month, it's only two weeks away.
I want to make the most of Sydney; you know how much I love this place. And I'll help you entice our new victim. How's that for a deal?"
She says cheery

"Fine, but no lurking around Ibrahim. Promise?"

"Pinky Promise with a plum on top"

She was not going to keep her promise obviously.
But I couldn't say no to her and all her emotional blackmail, puppy eyes and pouty lips.

I have to be extra alert from now on though, just in case Ibrahim does come around with the police; which he obviously will.
And then Sahla will see the kind of douche bag he is and swear an enmity with love.

Win-Win for everyone!
Except Ibrahim of course, it'll be fun to see that sucker in pain.

Heyo Everyone

Let me now what you think will happen next 😋
