"Now why don't you start telling me, what that motherf**ker was doing at your house yesterday...?" "Ethan, please..., I-" she let out, despite the throbbing ache. "Here's the thing, cara mia," he snarled in her ear, his hot breath hitting her skin like that of a scalding iron rod, "I don't tolerate opponents, I destroy them. So, listen to me and believe me when I say, I'm going to ruin him so bad that he will curse the day he was born and curse the day he laid his unworthy eyes on you. And this is a f*cking promise!" ~~~ HE WAS UNHINGED; SHE WAS HIS ELIXIR HE WAS ADDICTED; SHE WAS HIS DRUG HE WAS WISTFUL; SHE WAS HIS FANTASY At seventeen, moving to a new place, to Queensland, was supposed to entail a fresh beginning for Maryam Dias and her mother. A sanctuary for healing. A hiding place from the memories of what was lost. But for Maryam, it was just the beginning of a new hazard and unfortunate misery awaiting at her doorstep. And this time, escaping may just be out of her hands. Queensland, Australia is ruled by the Mafia families, and Ethan Russo just so happens to be the son of the most powerful Mafia Don. When Ethan sees her, he wants to keep her, restrained, isolated, and at his mercy, away from all prying eyes. With emotions that borderline obsession and eyes that promise her of insanity, there is no escape for Maryam, as she becomes a mere spectator while he ruins her life and her, caging her and molding her to his heart's desire. What is she to do when all odds are against her and the haven she sought after happens to be a playground for the Mafia ruler's son? Will her prayers for a life of freedom ever come true? If yes, then at what cost...? Trigger warning: violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, racism, substance abuse, and self-harm. The book is DARK, DARK, and DARK.

Third Book of the 2nd Era: (UNEDITED) "You think you are strong and brave but one thing you lack is love. Your ego might be big but don't forget love is bigger." Tears streamed down my face yet he did not react. He smirked at me, coming closer, instantly my feet moved back. A gasp leaves my mouth at our proximity, his hand going behind my neck pulling me closer as I stare deeply at his icicle blue eyes which were filled with rage. "Oh, honey I'll show you what love is."

"If you didn't love me in the first place then you shouldn't have married me." She said, her heart sinking knowing that she didn't have a place in his heart. "Do you think I wanted to?" He spoke, turning his face to the side looking at her over his shoulder. "If it wouldn't have been for Zain then I wouldn't have ever!." He stated. She didn't knew how she could muster up so much courage to stride towards him and turn him by holding his hands as she made him face her. Standing on her tiptoes she was a bit his level as she caught hold of his collars. "Tell me you're lying. Tell me that it wasn't just for Zain. Tell me you're doing this because you're angry with me. Tell me that's it's all a lie!" She exclaimed at the end, her tears rolling down her cheeks freely. He looked at her for a second before he caught her hands which were on his collar and removed them, and holding her wrist, he turned it behind her back as he fiercely pulled her closer to him, his eyes staring deep into her. "Even if I am, you have lost the right to ask me that." He stated coldly. "Why!" She exclaimed. "Why did you behave so sweet with me all this time, when you had already planned to end this relation. Why did you filled this void life of mine with happiness and joy. You should have just let me be!" Her eyes held the anger and pain which her heart was feeling. "Just to let you know how it feels to be betrayed." With that said, he let go of her and moved back. *** The only things that mattered in Shumail Ibrahim's life were his friends and his work.

"The only reason we got married is because of my father don't forget that and besides your parents sold you to me" he growled and then smirk.

But it took a highway route when he saw a certain, lost girl at the Jinnah Airport. A girl in white cotton floor length dress with a brown leather jacket with a pair of converse munching on a packet of lays masala, sitting on her own trolley, flipping her head here and there as her scarf moved with her without even for once being displaced from its original position. Was he ready to marry a girl that he does not know let alone liked by first sight when he knew in his family approval comes from the elders where there is no choice left for them, the broods? He might be an introvert and an honor preserving chap but he was clear when it came to what he wants and needs. He never confused his feelings with his duties as the head of his family or as the impending head of the chief of his tribe, to be the next Emir of Gorgush. Olasyar Khan, was in that state of mind but then why did his heart feel that pine? He was ready to make everything turn according to his desires, the Pashtun in him was not ready to back down and let others lead his life for him. Allah showed him the way, so he will move all the rocks and stones in his path even if he must pick them up by his bare hands. As the tag on the bag read the name, he uttered the last words and left, "Zareen Wadi, be ready to be Zareen Khan." Their fates were already amalgamated, they just had to find their way to each other. The following book does not represent or attack a certain race or cast. Spiritual #33 (4/20)
