She entered the room, and the next moment she was thrown on the bed and he hovered over her pinning her both hands above her head. "What... are you doing?" she stammered, her voice shaking as she looked at him. His messy hair and red eyes radiated anger. "Why did you let him fucking touch you?" he growled, his gaze locked onto hers, demanding an answer. "He just... held my hand," she replied quickly, trying to suppress his anger. "He didn't just fucking hold your hand; he touched you for fucking 35 seconds!" he shouted, his voice echoing with disappointment. For a moment, she feared that she had lost him, that he would never trust her again and leave her, just like her family had. Next second his rough lips captured her soft lips in a kiss, with each deep suck on her lips he erased her insecurities devouring her mouth like graveman. The kiss was not the soft one it was rough, dominating and possesive one as if conveying his sadness, ownership and love. "Strip" He asserted in his deep dominating voice. "You too mister" she said in low yet determined voice showing her rights, ownership and dominance over him. ｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡ "why are you doing this? " She said sobbing badly. "I want you anyhow," he said in a cold tone. "I was going marry him," she said helplessly. "That's the reason dove, I am going to marry you " He casually asserted. "But why me? " She whispered leaving her remaining hopes. "I am not answerable to you," he said in a harsh tone. "Be ready to become Mrs. Aadrika Kabir Singhania" he said leaving the place. _______________________ Tropes ✨ ~Grumpy X Sunshine ~Mafia X engineer ~30 X 24 ~Age gap ~Office romance ~Forced marriage ~Obsessed MML _______________________ What will happen when they will meet for their sibling's marriage proposal?

I promise there's more! I've put all my thought and skills to put before the wattpad audience the most misunderstood fact about muslim women in a marriage. The fact that it all ends with abuse and oppression on the women which leads to thinking that muslim women are being oppressed and enslaved in their religion. Afaaf Hameed never wanted a marriage because for all she knew, 'all men are the same', particularity Muslim men. They are all chauvinists. To her, romance, love, feeling butterflies in stomach was all fantasy in today's world and it only existed in the era of Prophets. But what happens when she has forced herself to marry Imran Ameen Khan for the sake of her mum. On the other hand, Imran is head over heels about being married to Afaaf. He has never met a woman more beautiful than her. He tries his best to let romance blossom between them. But little does he know that his beautiful wife has no feelings for him. What will the future of these two hold when their lives are tied together? Will they make it to 'Happily Ever After' or will their hearts split up? ***Not Edited***

"I thought I told you to stop telling me what to do." I whispered meekly. "I thought I told you that I wanted you here, with me. I want your happiness. Not your anger."

"But you do." The hand that had been on the edge of the skin trailed up the side of my waist and then back down. "I can't fucking focus on anything else.
