chapter one : the man in her dreams

It was here again, not in her dreams but I'm reality. It was hovering over Don as he spoke . This time it wasn't just calling her, it was crying out to her , begging her. Sometimes she wondered if this shadow was the man she has been running away from her whole life. She doesn't know what he looks like or why he's after her but all her life she was made to believe that he was a bad person and if he haves her, nothing good will ever exist .....still she doesn't understand, how could she ........ week. I felt it presence every night for the past week. I don't know who or what it was but i know that i wasn't scared having it around .

It was there for two weeks every night and then i couldn't feel it again...it was gone . There was a great loss and empty feeling in my heart when it left. I remember that everyday for the past fifteen years, I've prayed to see it again but I never did.still I was sure I'll see it again, I know I will

FIFTEEN YEARS LATER :

It was there again, not in my dream but in reality. Standing there. I could see it as much as I could feel it and see it. It was standing there and looking at me ... probably smiling at me too

" Faouzia" it called my name

"Faouzia " this time it stretched it's hands like it was calling me , it beckoned to me to come closer.

I stared at its outstretched hands . I wanted to go badly, I wanted to run to its hand .......I had no Idea why but i knows that i belonged with it , whatever it is . I wanted to move to go to it but something was stopping me. I couldn't move my legs anymore

"Faouzia;" it called me again but this time it wasn't an eerie whisper but in a clear masculine and familiar

"What? " I suddenly found my voice

"Wake up Fauozia"

I drew my eyes open smiling at Don's worried gaze

"Good morning husband" I yawned

"Are you okay??" He asked me his voice filled with concern "I've been trying to wake you up but ...." his took in a deep breath

The poor man must have been worried sick

I drew him into my embrace

"I thought I lost you " he was shaking under my arms

"I'm fine...... "I smiled "more than fine Don "

I pulled a way looking at him

"you're not gonna loose me " I stroked his hair gently"

He looked away from me staring at something on the floor

"It's hard to believe that when he's still on the loose " he looked at me his eyes shone with a lot of suppressed emotions

"I want you Faouzia "

I smiled caressing his cheeks "I know "I sighed in frustration looking away "

"I want you too " I said "but....." I trailed

"But you are not ready yet" he sighed then looked at me. His eyes filled with so many determination that I've never seen before

"I know you aren't ready Fauozia and I'm not going to force you into anything but he'll continue chasing you unless I have you . I don't want you to be with any other person"

I couldn't help but smile. I know very well that unless we consummate the wedding. He'll keep on chasing me and hunting me down until he has me but still am an eighteen year old forced into marriage for her safety. I loved Don but I just wish that I didn't marry early . I would have given him my body willingly if so

"Please Fauozia...."
