A short story defining the stages of love. 

Inara Khan was petulant: stubborn, short-tempered, blunt, and a middle child. She had her life planned until she stumbled on a betrayal by one she had never considered a possibility from. 

Life threw a curve ball to her in name of Rahil Sohail, a smart man who wasn't all smart when it came to his emotions. He was famous for less words, more glares, and definitely a straightforwardness she appreciated. 

He was considered to be less from others, disrespected for what he didn't have until he stood for her respect. 

For, respect was all she wanted. 
✷ ✷ ✷
Rahil Sohail had worked his entire life towards reaching his destiny, unknown to the said destiny being a mischief maker and the daughter of the man he had came to know at his weakest. 
This marriage was supposed to be a promise, an arrangement to honor his father's best friend until his daughter became more. 

She was a storm, brewing and ready to rearrange his entire life. 

Not that he would want her to stop.

The moment I was in front of him, I grabbed hold of his collar with my both hands. As I yell, "Are you cheating on me, Shahzain?" Seems like I took him by surprise, it took him a whole minute to realize what was happening right now. And the moment he did, he loosen my hold on him and pushed me, which had me stumbling back. "Even if I do, it shouldn't matter. I was forced into this marriage, Sobia." He yells back. "I didn't have a choice. But you had. You shouldn't have agreed to this marriage." Only if he knew, all my life it wasn't me who got to select the choice. Neither is this one, the most important one in my life. "I won't tolerate this. Either you leave me or leave her." I stated, anger clouding my senses. He walked towards me and took a hold of my chin in his hand and stated clearly. "And where's the fun in that? You ruined my life. I promised to ruin you till death do us a part." I pushed him hard. I had already suffered much from my so-called family. And I refused to get suffered by my husband. It's all about the limit. The moment I had my limit of misery and pain, I will end all of this. "Are you sure, it's not the other way around?" A humorless chuckle escapes my lips, as my darkest shade of eyes met his grey ones. "Also, just wanted to correct you, my dearest husband. You can't ruin what's already ruined, Shahzain." "And if I find out that you kept meeting her behind my back. I will ruin you and that lover of yours." With that I stormed out of our room, making up my mind.
