Her Replaced Husband ✓

¶chapter twenty four ¶

That evening, they were going to go to Ajwa's parents' house. She was missing her mother and sister. She wanted to meet them badly. Besides, she also needed to grab her books and other necessary things for her studies.

After having a warm bath, as she walked over to the wardrobe, her eyes sparkled finding so many pink dresses there. That was one of the things she was missing as well alongside the two women. Suddenly she remembered how Faris praised her when she wore one of them. His gaze was filled with stun and appreciation. Abruptly an idea hit her mind.

Ajwa was liking this hide-and-seek game. Faris getting on the verge of losing everything but still couldn't get her. That she knew that he would never force her. She wanted to give this marriage a chance but love should be the basic necessity for this. She wanted to try. She felt like his emotions were hidden by some covers. Something so profound and serious that he never liked to feel them again. She would unveil those masks and would strive to bring out the most human side of him.

Ajwa took out a dark pink cotton long shirt and the same colored trousers from the hanger. As she was standing in front of the mirror, putting small round-shaped pink earrings in her ears, Faris entered the room. His eyes directly landed on her and then they forgot how to blink. He walked in her direction and stood closer to her. Her hands suddenly trembled as his intent gaze was making her puzzled.

Faris glanced at her reflection in the mirror. "So you again wore this color and God, it's looking stunning on you."

She licked her lips as she sighed in relief to finally be able to get that annoying earring in her ear. It never felt this stubborn before. She was always able to wear it in no time. But looked like this guy was making her dysfunctional as well.

The way his voice sounded so sensual when he praised her in the end, made her heart flutter but she kept her neck high and gave her a pointed look. "I know."

He twisted his mouth in appreciation. She was definitely the rare girl who was not melting under the heat of praise and replying fearlessly as well.

"Then why did you deprive me of this gorgeous sight in our house? Why did you leave all your pink dresses here?" He asked quietly, his hand was now on her shoulder.

Ajwa narrowed her eyes at him. How did he know? "I didn't leave anything."

She lied to save her dignity. Now she just couldn't tell him that she indeed banned herself from wearing anything pink just because of him.

One corner of Faris's lips curled up while his hand slipped from her shoulder to her arm, his fingers gently stroking there. She tried hard not to react to this. This jerk! He was again alluring her.

"Don't lie sunshine. I know everything." He got nearer to her and whispered in her ear.

She thought he again read her mind and was saying those words seeing how she was struggling to keep her emotionless when even his other hand also reached her left forearm.

His fingers now moved to her forearm and he softly brushed the bare skin there. She gasped and then bit her cheeks to suppress her embarrassment.

Ajwa turned around to face him. His hands dropped from her arms. She couldn't bear this anymore. She exhaled in mitigation that his touch ended which was making her go crazy. A part of her heart protested at this sudden break of contact.

"What do you know?" She whispered quietly.

He smirked. "That I am all over your mind."

Her eyes widened. "Aren't you being so overconfident?"

He shook his head. "Let's check whether I am overconfident or not." He now cupped her cheeks.

Slowly moving away her hair from her neck, he leaned near to her and pressed his hot lips on her throat. She jumped out of her place at this. He placed small kisses all over her sensitive skin before reaching the inside of her neck. She groaned in pleasure.
