Chapter 16
Sophia's POV
A man in a blue polo walked inside the dark room and I sighed in relief because he was not the person I was dread to see.
My nightmare.
"How was your trip to wonderland," he sang, walking toward me and clapping his hands before taking a wooden chair and sitting in front of me.
"Think, Sofia; if Maryam is in this situation, what would she do? She is extroverted while I am not"I thought bitterly while I shook my head.
"Come on, be yourself," my subconscious responded. Alhamdulillah that it was not giving me snarky comments, I hated it sometimes but I loved it so much.
I looked the man in the eyes. This man had a boyish face: I thought he would be in his early twenties. He was taller than me but definitely not tall like my Yusuf.
My Yusuf!
I liked how it sounded, my heart yearned for him. Would he miss me? Would he find me?
Well, no. He is with Zainab, having fun, the darker part of me taunted me.
I missed him and I needed him.
He was my drug and I was addicted to him. He was my rock.
He had always been there for me through papa's death, nightmares, terrors and illness.
You never know the worth of something until it gets lost.
And even after what I did to him, he still loved me.
"Love you?" The taunting voice in my brain said, laughing wickedly. "If he loved you, he would not have left you to go to her. You are nobody. Who will love a broken, scarred girl? Just wait and let him see your body covered with all the scars, then you will see how he will be disgusted with you," This voice was really taunting me; wanting me to dwelled on my misery.
"No" I screamed mentally.
"What?" the voice mocked, "you are no one!, you are a mistake!" the voice laughed darkly.
"I am myself, I am me!" I replied weakly, shaking with tears.
I was lost in my head, I was lost in my memories.
"You are better off dead failure" the voice asked, "Just tell the man to end your pathetic life".
"I want to live," I cried.
"This life is not yours" the voice yelled, "because you are no one!, you are miserable that is why he left you. He's with her not you, yuy are..."
"No wifey" I heard Yusuf's voice.
"Don't answer him, he's lying. If he loves you, he won't have left for her".
"You know I'm always yours" his voice calmed my raging heart.
"Don't list.." the voice faded to the dark.
"You can do it, wifey. Don't let the voice get to you. I'm always by your side," the smooth voice of Yusuf said, clearing the remaining dark voice.
Why won't I fall for him-when all he had ever done to me was cared, admired, loved and cherished. Stayed with me and supported me.
Why won't I?
A lone tear escaped my eye ducts for my loss.
I was still looking at the man yet my focus was not on him. With a determined face, I said, "You will regret ever laying your hand on me or kidnapping me because when my husband gets aware, you are all going to die. I think you know who my husband is."
The man visibly gulped with fear flickering in his eyes before it disappeared. "Are you threatening me?" He growled in anger, kicking my leg.
"No, why will I? I was just telling you," I responded sarcastically.
Where is all this boldness coming from?. I wondered out loud.
Because you are stronger than you think, his voice again.
He moved closer, looming over my small frame, grabbed my chin forcefully as his manicured fingers pierced my skin.(AN : I don't know why all her oppressors are so obsessed with her cheek or hair).
"Do you think your husband will come? Nah, he is having fun at Zainab's place right now," he said manically with evil glistening in his eyes and he slapped me hard across my face.
"I don't believe you. I trust my husband. He could never do that and the last time I checked there was nothing between them," I snarled at him, shaking on the chair which I was bound on.
"Aw, little Sophy," I flinched at that name. "Oh, I'm sorry, does it bring back memories?" He taunted slowly, circling me and laughing sinisterly.
I hated this man.
"Then prove it " I challenged, looking at him in the eyes while he looked shocked before he smirked and brought out his phone then it rang out.
"Hey zay, how are you?" he greeted chirpy.
"I'm fine, very happy... ah, I can't believe it finally happened," she paused catching her breath."Sophy, babe ,you are really a bad girl. Leaving your husband with needs was not good for his health. Here I was to help him get some relief," she asked. Some minutes passed, moans and grunts were heard before the phone was disconnected.
Tears welled up in my eyes. "How can he do that ? No he can't. I don't believe you, I trust him. I don't believe in what I hear. Seeing is believing, if I see it then I will believe," I said coldly.
He couldn't do that to us, he promised to wait till I was ready.
The man was shocked but before he had the time to talk, I cut him out. "If he says yes that he did it with her then I will believe him because I understand. And if he says no, then no."
"Well, Zainab is coming for you." he raised his brow, playing with the pocket knife which he was holding.
"Is she the one behind this?" I asked, wanting to be sure before conclusion.
"Yup," he said, popping the p.
Zainab!
I saw red-enraged and hurt.
Zainab was behind this! That devilish bitch!. An excuse of a whorish slut!
She kidnapped me!
