Anabia's POV

It was 6:45pm when I was fully ready for the charity event. I wore an elegant dark blue scoop-neck floor-length tulle gown. Ofcourse I didn't forget my hijab. The only difference was I styled it. I kept my makeup simple. What can I say? I hate attention.

Anyways,I went out and found a SUV waiting. I got in. As usual,Zain was sitting away from me. I didn't bother and looked out of the window. As we reached at the venue, Zain got out and opened the door for me, he took my hand and as soon as we both got out of the car,the papparazzi surrounded us and started clicking pictures.

Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!

"Okay. It's enough." Zain said and we pushed our way inside.

Don't get your hopes too high. It's just an act!

Inside we met Mr.Hussain Siddiqui. A small part of me got angry on seeing him. He told me his son gave his consent for the marraige but I got to witness the whole new story!

Anyways, I greeted him politely.

He introduced me to his buisness associates and friends. Zain dissappeared to god knows where. And I didn't even expect him to stay with throughout the event. So I guess its okay.

The rest of the night went smoothly.

We arrived home and as soon as I got into my room,I got rid of that heavy gown and make up and changed into my night suit.

Zain's POV

My life was running just perfect after the little speech I gave to my wife. She didn't interrupt me. The only reason she survived these 4months is because she didn't cross paths with me.

She'd not want to deal with my anger.

It's Monday afternoon and I am currently in my office going through a stack of papers. There was a knock on the door and I replied with a 'come in'.

"Sir,the sub-contractors are here for their 4'O clock meeting." My PA,Bianca said.

"Show them in." I said and got up from my chair,towards the conference room.

The meeting was finally over. It took long than expected. Anyways,I didn't plan on staying in the office so I decided to head home. It was already 6 and Bianca had already left. As I was collecting my stuff,a knock caught my attention.

Who would it be?

I said a stern 'come in' and entered the person I loathed the most.

Entered the person who made me the way I am - cold,ruthless,arrogant and heartless.

The person was Samia Baig.

I stared at her with so much anger. With so much hate. If stares could kill,she'd have died a thousand times by now.

"Get out." My voice was calm but dangerous.

"Zain,Liste-" I raised my hand to stop her.

"Don't. I don't wanna hear anything. And what the hell are you doing here after so many years? Just get out of my office and never come back." I said harshly.

"I was a fool back then. Please forgive me. I want to get back."

I looked at her and my features softened. She seemed to notice it and I saw a glint of hope in her eyes. I went close to her and placed my hand on hers. She smiled but then I grabbed her wrist quite painfully and took her towards my private elevator. All the way she kept whining. Once in the elevator,I pinned her to the wall and said "How dare you,Samia baig? You think I'll accept you after what you did to me? Do you even know how much hurt did it cause me? You're just like other girls - gold digger and selfish. And  if you dare to come again in my life,I'll make sure I ruin you much more than I did before." I spoke harshly amd dangerously. Venom laced in every word.

As the elevator doors opened, I grabbed her by her wrist again and dragged her to the exit, "She should not be seen around my company again. If it happens,it won't be pleasant for you." I told the guards. Everyone's attention was on us. I increased the pressure on her wrist and threw her out of the company making sure to humiliate her. I went towards the parking lot and started driving home.

How dare she comes into my life again? She was the one who ruined me. It all started at that stupid club. I saw her there working as bartender. There were bags under her eyes indicating that she hasn't got enough sleep. She looked tired and pale. I stalked her for few days and found out that she worked at a coffee shop at daytime and at the club in night. I asked her out and gave her a job as my PA. No,she wasn't qualified enough. But still. I gave her the job. I don't know when and how but I started liking her. And finally I asked her out. Everything was fine. We even started dating. I was planning on proposing her for marraige. But it all changed when I came home from work and found her with another guy. She didn't notice my presence and kept on saying about how she gets into my pockets and fulfill all her 'princess-life-dreams'. Anger rushed in me and I beat up the guy and stopped only when he was unconsiouss. And about Samia? Well...I ruined her. All the fame she got because of me went into drain. I even fired her. I knew she'd go to other companies for job. Not with her qualifications. But with her experience of working with Zain Siddiqui. So I black-listed her. Made sure that she doesn't get a job. Not even at that club. Made sure that she ends up on the streets. I wanted her to come and beg for me. Beg for forgiveness. And I made it happen. She begged for forgiveness but me being me,I threw her out.

I finally reached home. I entered the house and stormed towards my room. I was angry. I wanted to break something. And that's what I did. I started throwing everything here and there. My hand was bleeding from shattering so many glasses but I didn't care. I went on and on until darkness consumed me.
