Just a day before his marriage to Ajwa, Faraan was on his way to meet that middle-aged girlfriend of his when his phone rang. Grunting, he pulled his phone out of his jeans pocket and brought it in front of his eyes. Seeing Alice's name glistening on the screen, he ran his fingers through his hair. What was with her now?

He ignored her call and was just thinking to throw his phone on the dashboard when a message from Alice caught his attention.

'You jerk! Pick up my call.'

Faraan scratched his forehead in annoyance. He stared at the screen for a moment with gritted brows before tossing the phone on the dashboard. He started the car and laid it on the road.  His phone again rang which now made him grab it in irritation. What was waiting for him on the screen rendered his jaw drop. Alice had sent her selfie to him which wasn't much he bothered. What was more shocking was the area where she was standing. He narrowed his eyes to see more carefully; it was the outer of his house.

Alice had sent this picture to him with the caption- 'I am outside your home. If you won't call me back in five minutes, I am going inside and will tell your family everything about us.'

"Damn it!" He muttered angrily.

It was obvious, Alice was currently at his home. And if she would tell his Dad about it, then he couldn't even imagine what his father would do. Without thinking twice, he dialed Alice's number. She picked it up after two bells.

'I didn't know that a big flirt like you would be so afraid of his family. But I am glad, you called me.'

'Shut up Alice and come to the point. What the heck do you want from me?'

'That's like a good boy. I am currently in Karachi. Come and meet me in my Defense apartment.'

Faraan facepalmed himself. This woman had gone nuts.

'Alice, I am not your puppet, whatever there is, talk on the phone.'

'Fine. I am going inside your home and will tell your father that you are my unborn child's father.'

'And do you think I will believe in your crap talk?'

Alice didn't reply but laughed at this making Faraan more furious.

'Look at your screen then.'

Faraan took the phone in front of his eyes and his eyes widened in shock seeing what was there. Alice had gone on a video call with him and here, he could see her standing outside his house.

'At what time should I come?' Faraan asked after a while.

'Exactly one hour later.'

With that, Alice cut the call. Faraan hurled his phone away in anger. He never thought he would get blackmailed by that woman. He slammed his hand on the dashboard before harshly pushing the race, turning his car towards Defense Karachi.

And now he was standing in front of this woman who was talking the absolute crap which Faraan had no interest in.

"Don't you want to meet your child? It's a girl and I am in my seventh month," she told him with a twisted smile.

This prompted Faraan's smugness to wash away like a swat and unknowingly he peeked at Alice's baby bump.

"So?" He mumbled.

"So that," she paused and leaned near to his ears making him baffled at her sudden act.

"I must be the only mother in this world, who would be throwing a party after making my daughter an orphan."

Seeing the thing she came out with made his jaw dropped.

        __________________________

Ajwa looked at the red bridal attire placed on the sofa which felt like a snake to her ready to engulf her happiness, contentment, and freedom. She got a dire need to destroy it. She couldn't even think of that guy without resentment and here she was going to be his wife.

Tomorrow was her marriage to Malik Faraan Kirmani and she was devastated. Her mother's love had bound her and put invisible ropes in her feet to not do anything profound. Looking at her mother and sister, she always wanted to change the situation for herself. She didn't want to face the burden of being labeled as unwanted, getting beaten and abused like Ayesha.

When she first heard Javaria's engagement was fixed when she was a child, it made her feel indignant and disgusted with her father. She vowed to herself to not fall prey to such regression. Only when she discovered her sister's likeness of her fiance then she calmed down a bit. She didn't want to become helpless and powerless like these two women. She aimed to raise her voice against cruelty but now she became the target of the same barbarity at the hands of her father.

But one thing was clear. She wouldn't make it easy for Malik Faraan Kirmani. She would make his life a living hell. And she would come out of this forced marriage as soon as possible.
