Mahsooma's pov:

     I was peacefully reading a very interesting scene in my book, while enjoying the view in front of me. Then I got startled by a sudden voice. I quickly closed by book  then stood up from the swing, looked back and saw Abbas.

I slowly processed what he said: 'Oh so, you like that kind of stuff' and widened my eyes at him.

'Wh-hat d-do you mean?' I asked him while stuttering and scolded myself for that. Then he replied huskily: 'You know what I mean' he said while smirking and getting close to me.

'I-I don't know-w what yo-ou are saying-g' I said to him while getting away from him.

Then he said: 'Acting innocent, are we?' he further adds 'Do you want me to repeat what I read in your book?'.

'huh' I said to him because I didn't have a reply to give him.

'Ok so' he started repeating the words of my book by saying. 'Will you be a good girl and stay quiet....

'Ok ok stop that's enough' I stopped him in mid to say any further. Now he was standing so close to me, looking in my eyes. 'first of all, keep some distance from me'. I said to him.

Abbas replied: 'And why would I do that?' he asked raising his eyebrows.

'Because men and women should keep some distance from each other'. I replied to him while trying to get away from him which he isn't letting me do.

'What if I say that I don't want to?' he said and caged me between him and the balcony's railing... Then suddenly their moment was disturbed by his phone call.

Mahsooma saw this opportunity ,removed his hands and run from their into her room and closed the door.

He looked back and saw that she was gone in a second. He smiled a little at her.

Mahsooma was breathing heavily, standing by the door and sighed in relief because she got away from him. Then, she went to her bed and slept. So, she can't think about him.

Abbas's pov:

     Right now, I am standing here, caging her between me and balcony's railing while staring deep into her dark brown orbs.

I got to know that she is a dark romance reader. No worries, I'll fulfill all of her desires. Our beautiful moment got disturbed due a phone call. I took out my phone out of my pocket, to find out who it is then I felt a sudden push on my arms and saw that she was nowhere to be seen. She disappear like a ghost in a second. This act of her brought a smile on my face.

I looked at my phone and saw that it is my assistant, who is calling me but the concerning thing is, why is he calling me at this time? because it's so late.

I picked up the call : 'it better be urgent or get ready to die' I said getting annoyed at him because he destroyed my moment with Mahsooma but the reply he gave, shocked me.

Eric (Abbas's assistant) said: 'Sorry to disturb you sir but the traitor we have been looking for so long is have been murdered by someone and all of his wrongdoings are all spread over the social media. He is being so much criticized by citizens.

Abbas's was so much shocked about it because he has been looking for him for to long and despite Abbas having alot of connections in Mafia world, he couldn't find him but now he is murder by someone.

Abbas asked his assistant: 'Do you know who murdered him?'.

Eric replied: 'No sir, the man is still unknown and after a lot of our attempt to find him, he is still unknown to us'.

Abbas thought that the unknown man actually helped him in this matter but he had a question in his mind that why anyone would help him without any benefit. He cut the call without replying his assistant and went to his room and slept.

Next morning:

Author's pov:

            Mahsooma woke up at 08:00 am, then went into the washroom, did her morning business and got ready wearing a pink colored suit and hijab

then she went downstairs to have breakfast.

When she reached in the dining room and saw everyone there except Abbas for which she thanked ALLAH because after last night's event, she don't want to face him.

she took her seat beside Ghazi while everyone is talking with each other. she was about to serve myself when she heard some footsteps and then there became a pin drop silence at the dining table. she saw that Abbas is here all ready for his office and he took his head chair and looked at her while she professionally ignored him.

she started to eat her breakfast and heard Ghazi saying: 'Mahsooma try this, it's too good and it's your favorite' he said while pointing towards pasta. she smiled at him in return and served myself some of the pasta. she took a bite of it and moaned in delight because pasta is so delicious and cherry on top it's her favorite dish.

Ghazi asked her: 'is it good?' to which she replied by nodding her head because she is so engrossed in enjoying her food.

Ghazi is like a brother to her. He always treat her as his younger sister and pampers her.

Meanwhile Abbas is getting jealous looking at love of his life, sweetly talking with his brother and thought that 'She had never talked to him in such a sweet way'

Then Aima asked her sister Mahsooma: 'Are you still in contact with Areeb?'

To which Mahsooma replied: 'Yes aapi we talk daily but why are you asking this?' she said while stuffing her mouth with food.

Aima replied: 'No reason'

Abbas saw Mahsooma stuffing her mouth with food and find her so cute that he wanted to devour her lips right now in front of everyone without any care in the world and cherry on top she was looking so good to him in a traditional outfit but he controlled his desire to not to make her scared.

But Aima's words made him shocked. He thought who is Areeb?. Is Areeb is her boyfriend. He thought this and his blood boiled just to imagine a boy getting close to her.

Then he heard ringing of a phone. He looked up from his plate to find the source of it. He saw Mahsooma picking up her phone and excusing herself while walking outside. He thought it's a perfect opportunity for him.

He followed her outside and saw her standing at distance, by a pillar while talking on her phone. he went close to her, took her phone, ended the call and said while caging her between him and the pillar

'Marry me, be mine'.

The desperation in his voice could me seen easily, when he said those words to her.
