She didn't ask for money or wealth or even a well known position!
She asked for a family who cares for her, appreciates her hard work and loves her.
He didn't ask for anything except revenge from his past and he didn't find anyone to act the role...

||Chapter Sixteen|| The trouble maker!
Unfamiliar emotions curbed Mariam's body. She was all perplexed and stunned by what happened. She didn't know how to describe how she felt. Was it regret as being involved in things she didn't belong to or was it terror regarding the threat? She only knew that she had to run as far as possible. She ran without a destination. All she knew at this time was she had to escape from these people.
Mariam found herself at the party spot. She dashed her legs quickly not knowing that she was hitting people unconsciously until she heard a voice she recognized well. " Where have you been? I've been calling you a lot. " It was Nour's. She asked Mariam in all worries. Mariam's face was white and full of terror. She held Mariam's arm instantly and turned it toward her trying to figure out why Mariam didn't look at her. Why wasn't she wearing her mask? Mariam exerted her best to force a smile on her lips. She didn't want to make Nour worry.
" No no I'm okay, I just needed to fix my outfit " Mariam retorted with her smile fixed to her face and tugged her lock of hair behind her ears not daring to look at her eyes.
At least she tried to hide her feelings at this moment but she suddenly blew up crying letting her tears one by one follow each other in straight lines making Mariam's sight blurry and stuttered with sobs. " No, I just... I just can't ignore what I saw. "
Nour's eyes widened toward what Mariam did and quickly held Mariam's shoulder firmly trying to look her in eyes. Seeing her best friend in this situation broke her heart in pieces. She didn't know who made Mariam look like that. She always felt that Mariam was all strong and fear nothing, but now she was fragile and ready to break down at any moment. " Mariam, tell me what happened. I'm worried."
Mariam couldn't stop her sobbing and spoke while stuttering " I just saw two people doing drugs in the lap. I didn't know them. I only recognized Matt, Sarah's boyfriend." Nour's heart was relieved for a moment. She didn't know before that her friend was so sensitive to everybody's interests. In Nour's point of view, having drugs was not a big deal comparing to what else they were doing. She was not judgmental, but she was presenting a matter of fact.
" You will get used to......."
" He saw me NOUR. He threatened me. He says if I ever say a word I will be dead. I am scared as fuck. What am I gonna do now? " Mariam didn't allow Nour to continue. She knew how she will think about her. She said it all in desperation and fear.
" Calm down, calm down no-one will hurt you. They won't do anything and I will be here for you. They are more than cowards to commit a stupid crime like this. Wanna hug? " She tried to make Mariam calm in every possible way. She didn't wait for her response but she crashed forcefully into Mariam's bones and started patting her head gently. Nour hoped she was sure about what she said. They can't do such a thing or can they?!
