SLS#5# The Lost Heiress

Painful

Anaya's POV

" How old were you when your father died?" Mr. Harrison asked me and that question taken me aback for awhile.

" I was 9." I said to him controlling my tears hard.

" Do you remember that this person was the one who came the next morning to claim that your father has sold everything to him?" He pointed Mr. Rasheed who was sitting on the other side of the court room.

" Yes, it was him." I said.

" Do you remember exactly what he had told you?" He asked me.

" He wouldn't definitely talk to me. I was just a kid. He talked to my mom." I said glaring at Mr. Rasheed.

" Hmm...they talked in front of you or talked privately?" He asked me.

" They talked in front of me." I said.

" If you remember what did he say to your mom." Mr. Harrison asked me. My face turned cold.

" He told us to go out of the house because it belongs to him now but we could stay there if my mom become one of his mistress." I said gritting my teeth. Mr. Harrison was looking at me weirdly for awhile. He shook his head.

" Umm... Alright. Mr. Fariz, if you have any questions to Mrs. Yilmiz." He said and went back to his seat. He looked at me again then at all his clients and his face turned cold. Daniyal came and stood in front of me. I sighed.

" Mrs. Yilmiz, can you tell us what is his relation with your family?" Daniyal asked me.

" Relation?!! No, relationship. Nothing. He was a mere employee at my father's office. Then my father found that he has talent and can shine in his life. So he helped him and he stabbed him back. That's it. He was, is and always remain there near the ground. He is this low." I said.

" Are you sure? You were only 9 then." Daniyal said. He told me that he will ask this to me and told me what to answer as well.

" Of course. I was born to remain 9 all my life, right? I wasn't going to grown up ever." I said to him. He nodded.

" They said they have searched for you but you guys just disappeared from there. Is that true?" Daniyal asked me.

" Your honour, if someone threaten you that they will kill you the moment they finds you out what will you do?" I asked the judge and turned to Daniyal. " Sir, we have done the same thing everyone would do. We ran away from there. And anyways we were not to be his mistress." I said to him and he sighed.

" Mrs. Yilmiz, Mr. Rasheed said he had offered you a job. Why didn't you accept that offer? Was there anything that was bothering you? You can certainly share with us." He said and I laughed dryly.

" Yes, I will definitely share that with all. If I don't share that then how will people know how mean that person is." I said. " He offered me a job. Job of his PA. Personal assistant, right?!! He wanted me to serve him 24/7. I mean at night as well. In short word he wanted me to be his bed partner and I will love to let you know that I was only 14 that time and I was a close friend of his own daughter." I said and Daniyal kept looking at me for awhile with his furious eyes. He closed his eyes and nodded.

" Why will he ask you to do something like that?" He asked me. I chuckled.

" Not only I say that he has a serious problem in his character but also the lady employees of her office have assured that. If you don't trust me then you can ask them. Another thing is he keeps his mistresses around. If you search for his whereabouts you will come to know that very well. Whenever he goes abroad who goes with him and where does they stay. May be those are very secret thing but if the court asks then they are bound to answer them. Don't they?" I asked and looked at Mr. Rasheed who was looking at me coldly. Hitting your button!!! Right?

" You told us that you ran away with your mother then how did you meet him again?" He asked me.

" Well, when we ran away we didn't have enough money. I stopped going school. Leave school we didn't have money to have meal of two times. How will I go to school?! My mom was very depressed. She got addicted to drugs. My mom used to be very sick. I went to him risking my life to beg for some money so that I can get a good treatment to my mother. I don't think it was a crime, was it?" I asked him. He sighed visibly.

" Can you give us any evidence of that incident?" He asked me.

" Yes, I can. I took the coffee shop owner and the doctor with me when I went to meet Mr. Rasheed. If you don't trust me then you can ask them." I said shrugging.

" Very well." He said. " You said your father was killed. How are you so sure about that?" He asked me.

" I will want to clear that out that I didn't know for years that he was killed because they said it was an accident and we believed them. The a few days back I meet some old employees of my dad. They can explain it better." I said to him.

" Do you want to say something about that?!" He asked me.

" No. I don't. They can explain it better." I said to him and he nodded.

Then the time reserved for the case was over. I sighed deeply. We left the court. We were coming out of the court and Safi came toward me. She looked at me for awhile.

" I kept myself on your shoes for awhile. I would do the same thing, Naya. I would do the same thing." She said and ran away crying. I sighed deeply. I was fearing this will happen.

Breaking hearts are more painful then breaking your bones.
