Chapter 29

Rameen

As soon as I entered the house I got the feeling Waleed was not there, I don't know why I felt like this, but I knew that he was not in the house.

Jeena and Riyaan had left before Waleed, good for them otherwise I would have beaten the shit out of both of them. She was mistaken if she thought me to be some damsel in distress. I knew how to fight and defend what was mine, I was not going to let her take Waleed from me, he was mine as I was his and no one in this world could ever change it.

I had told Rania and Sheema what had happened between me and Waleed after Waleed had left. They were shocked beyond doubt, I told them about how Jeena was looking at me when I left the kitchen, and all about Red's death.

If I doubted before that Jeena had been the one to kill Red, now I was certain that she was the one who killed her. I was not going to forgive that bitch, she was going to pay for it.

It took us nearly an hour to wind up our stuff and leave the beach house. I don't know what Sheema and Rania had told Asjad and Saad, but they had assured me that they both will always be there to help me. Asjad told me that Waleed had once told him that Jeena wanted them to get married, but his Dada didn't want Waleed to marry her, and now I understand why he didn't want Waleed to get married to Jeena.

I was shocked that Waleed had not mentioned anything about it to me, did he hide that from me on purpose? But why would he want to hide it? He had told me a thousand times that he loved me then why didn't he tell me about Jeena. Did he still have feelings for her? How close were they in the past?

I didn't want to think about it, but still, my mind was occupied with the thought that they were having any sexual relationship? Did he make love to Jeena the way he loved me? For fuck sake, Mia, stop thinking about that and concentrate on how you are going to clean this mess.

I handed Grey, to the servant who came to me as soon as he saw me get out of the car, he held Grey in one hand and my bag with the other. Rania asked me if I wanted her to come with me. I politely told her that it would be better if I handled it alone, I was not sure how Waleed would react and I didn't want any scene in front of my friends.

As I entered the living room, I saw Jeena sitting on the couch, she was the last person I wanted to see right now, and I think I was the last person she wanted to see, because, the moment her gaze fell on me she shrieked.

"How dare you step into this house?"

Saying that I was shocked by her words would be an understatement, she was standing in my house and asking me, how dare I step into this house?

"Excuse me, did you just address me?" I asked crossing my arms on my chest.

"You are not to enter this house," Jeena snarled.

I was not allowed in this house? And who gave her this authority, to tell me that I was not allowed in my own house.

"And who gave you this authority?" I asked arching for my brow.

"Waleed," she replied immediately.

"Then let him tell me, that I am not allowed in here," I said fearlessly.

She was a fool if she thought I would take her word for it, she could have deceived me once it won't be happening twice.

"He is on the flight to the US, and he had asked me to not allow you in the house," she spat at me.

I felt like someone had squeezed my heart with their hands, I can't describe how hurt I was to find that my husband had left without giving me a chance to explain myself to him.

"I think you have forgotten Jeena, but let me remind you, I am his lawfully wedded wife, and I have equal rights on everything he owns till I am married to him. And neither you nor he can make me leave my house," I took a few steps and stood in front of her.

I knew she was lying, there was no way Waleed would tell her to not allow me to come into the house. Or did he? Fuck him if he did, I was not leaving my house until he divorces me.

"He will come back to me, he loves me he just needs to find it out, and once he does he will throw you out of his life and marry me," she hissed through clenched teeth.

I chuckled at her declaration, fucking bitch if she thought it will be easy for him to just throw me out of his life and marry her then she was in for a surprise.

"What do you think I am, Jeena? A damsel in distress, that will stand aside and let him marry you? I will drag him to courts and shred his reputation to pieces if he even thinks of divorcing me and marrying you. But as far as I know, he won't do any of this, because the moment his anger cools down and he is in his right mind, he will come crawling back to me. Because it is me he loves, and me he wants, not you," I said calmly looking in her eyes.

"You bitch."

She screamed raising her hand to slap me, but I was fast enough, I caught her hand before it could come in contact with my face and twisted it, as I turned her around and slid my other arm around her neck.

Jeena tried hard to loosen my grip and get away from me, but I was strong, all those years of karate training had come in handy for me at this moment, and I know she didn't even know, how to punch. I bet she was too busy all her life trying to be the perfect girl, which by the way she was far from. She was screaming and struggling hard but I only tightened my grip around her neck.

"It would just take a little movement for me to snap your neck, and you will be dead like Red. Would you want to join Red, Jeena? I know it was you who killed her, you can't fool me Jeena, not twice," I whispered in her ear.

I felt her body stiffen and then she went rigid in my grip, Bitch, now she will know that I am the Queen Bitch here, and it won't turn out good for her if she messes with me.

I loosened my grip on her neck and pulled my arm back, keeping her in place with my hold on her arm. I kicked her behind her knee and left her arm, I smirked as I saw her fall on the ground and turn and look at me.

"This was just a trailer Jeena, if you don't leave within an hour from my house, I will throw you out myself, and I am sure you know, I am capable of it," I said in a voice as cold as ice, looking in her eyes without blinking.

I didn't wait after that to look at what she does, taking quick steps towards the staircase I climbed the stairs without halting.

My heart was beating as if it would jump out of my ribcage, but I was proud of myself that I didn't let myself get intimated by that bitch. She might have caught me unawares once but I will not let her exploit me ever again.

Waleed

I felt like the whole world was burning and I was the only one left alive, the smoke was suffocating me, and I was finding it difficult to breathe.

I just couldn't take the image of Mia in his arms, his lips on her throat, and her arm wrapped around his neck, out of my mind. No matter how much I tried not to think about it, my mind kept going back to it again and again.

I had broken everything in the bedroom that could be broken, and still, the rage inside me was amassing with every passing minute. I wanted to kill that fucker, I wanted to flay him and then burn him alive. And for Mia, I don't know what I wanted to do to her, I just couldn't make up my mind.

The sane voice inside me was telling me to let her in and allow her to explain, but the caveman within me just wanted to kill her along with that fucker. I knew if I stay around here, I might do something that I would regret later, the moment this thought came into my mind, I stuffed my things in the bag and closed it pulling the zipper.

Mia was standing outside the door as I opened it, she looked at me with terrified eyes, and the moment her eyes landed on my bloodied knuckles I saw her flinch. She tried to grab my hand, but I pushed her aside, and taking long strides and jumping three steps at a time reached the bottom of the staircase.

I heard her call my name, but I didn't stop to listen to what she was saying, I hurried out of the house to the driveway where my SUV was parked, I nearly threw my bag in the trunk and was on the driver's seat within seconds as I turned the key in the ignition, bringing the engine to life I saw Mia, through the rearview mirror hurrying out of the house.

I didn't lose any time and put my feet on the accelerator, the SUV moved ahead with a jerk. My eyes were fixed on the mirror, where I saw her coming to halt on the spot my SUV was parked earlier. She called me again, but I knew if I stayed a minute longer there, I was going to kill somebody.

I called my Secretary to book a ticket for tonight on the US flight, I had a visa for ten years to the US, and it was the only place where I knew would be the best for me to wait up the rising storm inside me. I didn't want to think about anything right now, making a decision about my marriage was the last thing that I wanted to think about in this state of mind.

I reached home and was surprised to find Jeena present there before me, I would have given the thing thought about how she came back before me, but right now I had a flight to catch in a few hours. Ignoring her, I went to my room and just tossed my clothes and other stuff in a luggage bag as fast as I could.

I made a few calls to Tariq to tell him that I was leaving for the US and putting him in charge of the office. He asked me when I was going to return, I told him I was not sure and called me only if it was extremely essential.

I made a few more important calls, and the last call I made was to Dada, to tell him that I will be in the US for some time and if he wanted he could contact me on my US cell number.

He asked me if I was taking Mia with me? I told him, that she had some crucial projects going on and she couldn't go with me. He sounded disappointed to know I was leaving her behind.

Jeena tried to speak to me as I was on my way to the car to leave for the airport. I told her that I was leaving for the US and that if she wants she could go back to her home.

I don't know what she was trying to tell me, and I was least interested to know anything. I just wanted to leave that place as soon as I could.

I didn't even know why I was running and from whom? Maybe I was afraid, afraid to know that Mia didn't love me. And that she loved someone else, and desired someone else.

I don't know what I will do if she decides to leave me and go to that son of a bitch. I will kill him, I will kill that fucker if she as much thinks of leaving me.

I needed time and space to think clearly, and I knew she needed space too, to figure out if she wanted to be with me or if she wanted to leave me.

I just wanted to be away from her, till I was able to think rationally so as not to hurt her in my rage and not make any decision that will only come to haunt me later.

As I boarded the flight, I switched off my cell, there were nearly a hundred calls from Mia, which I had ignored.

I was awake for the whole flight, I couldn't sleep for a moment, the moment I closed my eyes Mia's image in Riyaan's arms would start flashing in my mind. I kept myself busy, reading the project files on my laptop.

The moment I entered my apartment in Chicago, I was completely exhausted. I took a shower and stumbled to bed and thankfully I was so tired that my mind couldn't think of anything else and drifted into darkness soon.
