" No, why wouldn't he ?" I scream at the top of my lungs , while the ugly skeleton continues to jump in front of me .

I put my hand on my chest to stabilize my heartbeat " HAHAHAHAHA " I look up to see Myra laughing hysterically with Amir behind holding a thick thread tied to this ugly skeleton .

My expression crumble into distaste, I curl my fist I wish I had Thor hammer to smash her head from this far " YOU PURE EVIL WOMEN " I ran upstairs, making her and Amir eyes widen .

" I am going to take out your brain " I ran " and make them eat crows " I yelled at the top of my lungs while she ran straight quickly while I cannot see Amir anymore

" Hey ! It was a harmless prank " she defended running away just when I tried to grab her hem of cloth .

Damn I missed it

" Ohh yeah… let see how harmless my punch will be " I took off my sandal and threw it in her direction , she duck I stop " oh my God '' my hand slammed my mouth .

My sandal hit directly at Me .I hate everyone's face , Myra halts too .

How the hell did he come out of nowhere???

He looked absolutely astonished, like he couldn't believe what just happened .

" Assalamualaikum " I fake grin " Okay bye " I wave, turning on my heels .

" Stop " I heard his authoritative voice .

I closed my eyes cursing my fate " you are dead Amira… you are dead " I mumbled .

Praying to Allah I turn , that evil Myra is nowhere to be found .

I am seriously going to open her brain today but am I going to find anything ??

That's the question …

" Did you really throw sandals on me? " I look down in shame .

" I am sorry " I apologise .

" I am sorry" she apologized looking down . my lip twitched upward , she looked so cute and innocent. Suddenly I wanted to hug her tightly for comfort, telling her it's okay but knowing her I know it's a bad idea . What the hell Khalid ! Hug her ? Get a grip man.

" Okay , Go to your room. " I told her curtly .

Her curly eyelashes snap upward " you are not going to yell at me ?" She looked surprised .

I smirk closing the distance between us " do you want me too "

" Do you want me too? " he said in a raspy voice, almost seductive .

Thud..

Thud…

Thud..

Oh my God , my heart is running in a marathon again !!!

I gulped , I couldn't peel my eyes away from him , his captive eyes trapping me in his cage .

Why is he affecting my poor heart so badly nowadays ??

I barely shake my head feeling hypnotized by his gaze .

" Okay " he barely whispered , his eyes trailing on my lips for a few seconds before stepping back .

With a mischievous smile , he walked away leaving me breathless .

" Hey Tesoro " I turned to Nafisa 's voice .

" Woah " she raise her hand surrendering " why are you glaring at me "

I put hand on my waist throwing daggers from my eyes " because you called me idiot "

" Idiot ?"

" When did I call you an idiot " she asked .

" Just now " I huff, crossing my arms .

" I called you Tesoro " I gave a blank look .

'' yeah it's mean idiot " I gritted out " I know Italian word alright "

" I studied in my special class " I lied proudly .

She narrowed her eyes " special class , what kind of special class " this time she crossed her arms interrogating me .

Speechless..

" Tha- that's not the point " I point my index finger " you called me idiot "

" Do you know I got schola-"

" Okay enough " she cut my words " I know you got a scholarship , you are intelligent , genius but I didn't call you an idiot , Tesoro means sweetheart " she explained .

I put my hand on my waist. " What does tesoro mean ??" I raised my eyebrows .

" Idiot " he dug his hand in his pocket towering over me .

It means Khalid calls me sweetheart …. KHALID CALLS ME SWEETHEART .

I felt thousands of butterflies tickling inside my stomach .

Awww he calls me sweetheart

I wanted to jump happily but suddenly Nafisa clasped his thumb in front of my face " come to earth Amira ''

She smiled amuse .

" Ahem " I cleared my throat .

" Excuse me " I said softly, blushing crawling on my cheeks slowly .

"Weird women " I heard her say .

Fixing my hijab , the corner of my lip twitches as a shy smile appears on my face .

" Should I go to his room and ask him why he calls me sweetheart? " I giggled, biting my lips while I felt excitement bubbling inside my chest .

" DO WHATEVER YOU WANT , I want my money back at any cost " I growl at my men on the phone . A year back there was a Mikael , a businessman borrowed money from me , he said he would return it within two months but that ……… just kept delaying again and again . I have given him enough chances but that traitor ran away with my money .

"I have been paying fools like you all these while who couldn't even find a man , If you won't find him at the end of the month then I will kill you without remorse " I snarled while throwing my phone on bed frustrated.

I take my hand through my hair when there was a soft knock on the door .

I clench my jaw " GET. OUT " I yelled without caring who was there behind the door .

But to my surprise , Amira's small head peed open the door slightly .

" Are you okay? " her soft voice rang in my ear .

Feeling irritated already , I gave her coldest glare but again surprisingly she didn't flinch .

" Why are you mad ?" She had the audacity to question me but all I was seeing was red .

" You are not scared of me are you ?" I march toward her.

Her innocent eyes widened as she quickly stepped back, matching my hurried step toward her .

" N- no " she tried to reply bravely .

Wrong answer …. Amira

" What the hell , do you think of yourself " he slam his hand on the wall beside my head making me flinch visibly .

" I don't know what's wrong with you" my voice shivers " but I came to ask you why you call me sweetheart , do you like me ? "

I felt like my heart would come out from my chest … I think I came to him at the wrong time .

Oh no. … I shouldn't ask him that but - but he is my husband . I have rights .

His eyes narrowed … " excuse me "

" I should be getting going. '' I smiled, masking my fear and about to slip away when he put his other hand, trapping me between his arms.

" Listen to me very carefully Amira " his eyes filled with fury as his face was inch away from mine "you are nobody to me , I am just bearing you because of you good for nothing father who took loan from me and cannot pay me back , I wanted to marry you sister but I am stuck with you , you are irritating , you are not even beautiful , you are narrow minded women , who doesn't even know how to wear clothes and you think I like you …. YOU " he laughed , there was mockness while I couldn't see him anymore because of tears blurring my vision .

I gulped the bile rising in my throat , I looked down , unwantedly drop of tears fell from my eyes .

I felt my lip become dry , licking my shivering lips , I met his eyes . With every broken piece . I smiled " right " I barely whispered .

There was a flash of surprise and regret in his eyes .

" Yo- you are right " I slightly pushed his chest to maintain distance , his closeness was suffocating me ". I am so sorry that I misinterpreted and you are stuck with me but I promise I am not a burden to you " horrible memories started flooding inside my head " you can leave me whenever you want " I tried to strengthen my voice .

" But it's a request please don't disrespect my father " and I ran away from his room leaving him stunned .
