Abuja, Nigeria.
August,2025.

"Are you ready to tell me your story now?" Maheer asked as I sat up on the bed and the nurse went out of the room.

"Yeah sure, since you keep insisting but know that I am not that person anymore"

"Who cares? your story should be given out to the world" he adjusted the stool.

"You never married me as a virgin and someone mentally stable"

"I knew and I never cared because I was completed we were created as a pair"

"Muneer took it even though i never wanted to give in and with all that was happening I always tried to hide."I sighed at the end

*Flashback*

"Mum you have to stop tormenting me about the past she's dead" I heard Muneer scream at the phone then he threw it onto the bed but then he realized I was standing behind him
"what are you looking at? Get out!" He screamed at me and I flinched then quietly left the room.

I avoided him for some days till we met at breakfast one morning.

"Why are you quiet?"he asked

"Uhmm" I swallowed the food real hard "nothing really"

"And why have you been avoiding me?" he asked again

"Excuse me muneer I have classes right now I don't want to be late" I stood up and he didn't say anything or react.

After my 2 hours class I was really exhausted. I walked down to the school's football pitch then my eyes met ayyub's own and he looked away i really felt bad for him.

I deeply needed to talk to someone, i couldnt handle my problems alone.

I went back home after stopping at a coffee shop and the mall. Soon enough I'd go back home and have a fresh start.

I walked through the lobby and my fingertips stroked the walls gently as I closed my eyes.

"You!" He called I couldnt believe i was literally living with a monster he was right since the beginning.

I paused and kept quiet "Rukayyah I am talking to you"he spoke out I turned slowly to face him.

"We are going out and I made sure you got ready, your dress is in you room and I don't want you acting stupid"

"Muneer, when will you ever learn how to love?"

"Don't be pathetic, love is for the weak"his husky voice said "now go dress up"

When I was done I went to meet him at the balcony where he usually waits for me.

"You look nice in the dress and I don't get to touch you what a pity"

"Muneer why are you hurting me?"

"See let me get this straight,I can't love I either hire or use. And I hired you so don't get things mixed up in less than 2 weeks you'd be gone"

"Yeah,you are right!" I looked into his eyes without fear "I shouldn't exaggerate my place in your life" then I walked back to my room and locked the door, he never asked to wait neither did he come to my door and apologize.

At 1am after the drama I came out of the room to make a snack and i found someone creeping in the kitchen, I was scared but when I moved closer I saw it was muneer.

"What are you doing awake?" He asked like he cared any lesser and he got no reply

I moved to the fridge and opened the fridge door and took out water.

When I closed the door he was standing next to me looking at me with lust in his eyes, his eyes became darker I felt like he could see through my Cheetah print night gown and robe.

I tried walking away then he held me back and pushed me to the fridge and curled his left hand around my neck. I wanted to choke and I tried talking "muneer you are hurting me" I coughed

"Seeing you and not having you all to myself is what hurts me the most on Earth right now"

"Please stop"I cried and he brought his face closer to mine then the alcohol smell hit me, that was when I knew he was drunk.

"Since the first day, I laid my eyes on you I only wanted you but you had high walls"

"Muneer please" I said as his hand slowly stroked my thighs and I closed my eyes.

"Your smile, your Brown eyes and this caramel thighs" he looked at my face and my eyes were closed tightly "your full pink lips" he removed his hands from my neck and rubbed his thumb on my lips and came close with space in between our faces if I tried struggling our lips did touch.

"Since you kissed me I always wanted more" his hot breath fanned my face.

"Rukayyah" he said with his Arab accent "I want you" then I felt his lips on mine he kissed me and I didn't want to give in.

He pulled away and tried walking out of the kitchen "Muneer wait!"

I walked to him and looked into his eye and pulled his head down till we our lips Interlock I didn't know what came over me next thing I knew I was on his bed were I never was.

"After 2 years being with you, you finally agreed to be mine"

"I'm sorry I know it's your first time" he pulled me close and then the deed was done I gave up my virginity for someone I loved and deeply I knew it wouldn't work out.

The next morning when I woke up muneer wasn't on the bed, I was devastated and I found his shirt then worked to my room to clean myself up.

I couldn't eat and all the classes passed with in a blink of an eye, my anxiety hitting up me checking my phone for any notification which could be from him.

I couldn't wait for the driver, all I wanted was to see was muneer even though he didn't care I did.

I took a taxi to his office and when I was at the door of his office I heard the receptionist's voice coming from the office she was moaning.

I opened the door angrily and my hands flew to my mouth.

"Muneer! How could you?" I felt dead inside and I went out of the building in a short sprint with tears filling up my eyes.

I ran to his apartment at least I could have someone to talk to.

My hands were shaking while I tried knocking on the door. When he opened the door and saw my face.
