Chapter-19

After two years

Author's pov

Maryam was standing in front of a school with 5-year-old Omaira. She was holding Omaira's hands and looking at the school with a longing expression like she was searching for someone. A few moments later the school bell rang when the kids started coming out running.

Getting on her knees Maryam opened her arms having an affectionate smile. Running towards her 7-year-old Yamir jumped into Maryam's embrace. Breaking the hug Maryam looked at Yamir with concerned eyes.

" My baby must be so exhausted," Maryam said wiping Yamir's forehead with her hand.

Yamir informed excitedly," Mamma, I got an A+ in today's class test."

" Really!! I am so proud of you baba(referring to son affectionately)," Maryam answered taking the school bag from him and handing it to the driver.

Then, Maryam asked Yamir sounding excited," Since you did so well in the exam then you deserve a treat from Mamma, right?"

" Yeah," Yamir replied loudly when Omaira started nagging for a treat from Maryam.

Maryam said holding both of her kid's hands," So, Mamma was thinking to take you to an Italian restaurant for lunch. Are you ready to go with me?"

Yamir agreed instantly when Omaira asked," Mamma, Can't we call Baba also? I will miss him there?"

The smile and the excitement from Maryam's face vanished in the air and a gloomy expression appeared on her face. She only stared at Omaira with helpless glossy eyes.

It's been two years since that horrible incident and it took a great amount of time for Maryam to overcome the grief. For a few days, Yardan took care of Maryam like any other doting husband and she thought that he might have changed. She thought this time she will get to see happiness but she was wrong.

Once she became normal with Yamir & Omaira, Yardan's attitude changed. Though he doesn't hurt her physically, he treats her coldly. He doesn't talk to her except the time when he needs her.

Maryam was living in loneliness and tired of living with an emotionless robot like him. A lot of times she thought of divorcing him but looking at Yamir, Omaira and her family she changed her mind. She thought to adjust with whatever she had. Still, she hopes that one day he will change and understand her emotions. She was ready to sacrifice every single bit of her but except for Yamir & Omaira no one cared for her genuinely.

Among all these, she misses Mikaeel but failed to gather the courage to talk to him. Whenever she compares Yardan with Mikaeel, she curses herself and kills herself mentally for being a fool. What if she eloped with Mikaeel? Then, she wouldn't have to go through all this emotional pain. All the men in her life have used her only except Mikaeel. For her father & brothers, she is a Switch Bank. For Yardan, she is a toy. It was Mikaeel who actually loved her and cared for her emotions.

" Mamma, call Baba too," Omaira whined pulling Maryam's dress and that's when she returned to reality from her thoughts.

Maryam answered petting Omaira's head gently," I am calling your baba."

After that Maryam called Yardan 3 times in a row but he didn't pick up the call. A thin line of anxiety appeared on her forehead and she wondered if he ok? Then she thought he might be in an important meeting.

This time Yamir nagged for his father and for the fourth time Maryam called Yardan. This time he received the call but snapped at Maryam angrily.

" What's wrong? Why are you calling me nonstop? Don't you know that I am in the office?" Yardan shouted so loudly that Maryam trembled just hearing his voice.

She answered shuttering," We.....are......going......to......an Italian. ......restaurant for....lunch....Would you join us?"

" You called me to ask such a lame question, you stupid brainless woman!! You just wasted my time!" Yardan yelled with a pissed off voice.

Maryam said hurriedly," Actually it was Omi wh..................."

Maryam stopped in the middle when she heard a girly voice through the phone. She heard carefully and she was sure that he was with a woman. She doesn't know why she felt a sudden prick inside her chest hearing the voice.

" You can talk later," The girly voice said that Maryam heard clearly.

Before Maryam could ask any questions about it Yardan shouted," I am busy. Don't call me again."

Saying that he cut the call and Maryam was literally rooted in her place. Is he cheating on her? She doesn't know. Or maybe she was just overthinking.

" Mamma, baba won't join us?" Omaira asked innocently.

Maryam replied controlling her tears," Baba is busy so he can't join us."

" He always does this. It's like his office is more important to him than us," Yamir screamed angrily getting inside the car.

At Night

Maryam was folding her clothes and thinking about Yardan. She was wondering who was the woman with Yardan. Is she his business partner, any employee or there is something else? Imagining him cheating behind her back Maryam's eyes moistened instantly.

She was lost in her thoughts when she felt a pair of rough & large hands wrapping around her waist. Feeling hot breath fanning her back she shivered. She clutched the ham of her dress feeling Yardan's callus fingers moving her hair from her back neck.

He whispered fondling her boobs," I missed these squishy balls."

With a sudden yank, he turned her towards him and found her looking at him with glossy eyes. He didn't bother to ask why is she upset because right now he was hungry. Hungry for her body. No matter how much he fucks her, he can't get over her.

Holding her right upper arm he threw her on the bed and hovered over her. Maryam felt like he will crush her with his heavyweight. He has gained more weight than before. He used to look like a pillar but now he looks like a whole damn wall.

He was busy removing her nightgown when she inquired," Who was the woman with you today?"

He stopped whatever he was doing and then clutched her jaw tightly. He looked at her so annoyingly like she has committed a crime by asking him this question.

" Maybe my mistress or whore! What are you gonna do about this?" He asked and instantly Maryam cried out.

She said angrily," How could you? You are cheating behind my back?"

" I can do whatever I want and I am not bound to answer you," He replied curtly that boiled Maryam's blood instantly.

She was going to shout when he said mockingly," What are you gonna do, hmm? File for divorce!! Don't forget that your pathetic family still lick my shoes just like you lick my dick!!"

" Chi!!!(Yuck)," Maryam let out moving her face in another direction.

Grabbing her jaw tightly he mocked making her look into his eyes," Don't behave like you don't like it. I know you like taking my dick inside your mouth."

"alan kwni zawjat salihat mithlama kunt tatasarafin qabl bide daqayiq watamtasu qadaybi (Now be a good wife just like you were acting a few minutes ago and suck my dick)," he ordered while Maryam nodded her head in the negative.

But, eventually, she gave up and did whatever he ordered. She gave him blowjobs until he dirted her face and mouth with his cum. Throwing her on the bed he fucked the hell out of her draping a condom around his shaft. He doesn't want any children with her and that's why he never forgets to use condoms.

" You are no one to question me. You have no right to question me about whom I meet," He said thrusting inside her from behind.

Maryam asked sobbing," Why? I am your wife and I have every right to know whom you meet!! I won't let you have any mistress until I breathe."

" Except for warming my bed, you have no rights on me," He shouted giving her a thrust and she felt like he ripped her apart.

She asked loudly," Why do you always behave like that to me? Didn't I already compensate for my sister's death?"

" No, you didn't. You will compensate for my Mahi's death until you die," He answered giving her another rough thrust.

When Yardan was done with Maryam, she was numb. Not just physically but mentally. Laying over her stomach she was sobbing silently. She still can't believe he confessed that he has a mistress.

Taking a relaxing breath Yardan was wiping his sweaty body with a towel. His eyes caught Maryam who was soaking her pillow with tears. He rolled his eyes seeing her like that.

" Have you heard about the Dubai crown prince?" He asked but Maryam remained silent.

Throwing the towel on her he shouted," I asked you a question."

Maryam hummed nodding her head when he informed," Tomorrow is his birthday. He is one of my best friends. He invited me and my family to attend his birthday party."

" I won't go with you," She answered curtly.

No sooner had those words left her mouth than he hovered over her. She cried out loud because her breathing was almost cut due to his heavyweight.

" I am not interested to introduce an ugly duckling like you to the world as my wife but my bad luck! So, shut the fuck up and obey my order. Moreover, Yamir & Omaira won't take even a single step without you," He whispered in her ear and finally stood up to leave.

He was leaving the room when she asked with her trembling voice," Would you treat me with respect ever?"

" I am treating you with respect otherwise you wouldn't be warming my bed," he shot back and left her to deal with loneliness and depression.
