Ibrahim stood frozen, his heart tightening in his chest as her words seeped into him. Her eyes searched his, looking for something-anything-that would give her hope.

"I know you don't love me the way I love you. I can feel it," she continued, her voice trembling as she tried to keep herself composed. "But that's okay. All I'm asking for is a place in your life." Her hand drifted to his chest, her palm pressing softly against his heart. "In here. That's all I want."

Zara's eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she spoke the next words, her voice barely above a whisper. "I want nothing more in this world than to be your wife in every sense. Please... make me yours."

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.

" She whispered leaving her remaining hopes. "I am not answerable to you," he said in a harsh tone.
