Possession by Laila Ali (young adult books to read .txt) 📗

"And what exactly you don't know?" He asked and threw the apple in his hands with full force towards the nearest wall as he slowly marched towards her. She tightly held dua's hand and it took everything in her not to step back.

"You know how to disobey my direct orders. You know how to defy me. You know how to deny my commands then what the fuck is that you don't know?" He asked as he stood two small steps away from her. She tried her best not to look down again. His eyes were pinning her eyes to the spot. His whole demeanor was speaking of anger, rage, and trouble for her. He was looking like a handsome beast to her who was sucking the whole life out of her just by one dangerous look.

"Bhai actually-" Dua interfered.

"Did I ask you, Dua?"

"No Bhai"

"Then be quiet" he commanded and Dua nodded her head in response.

His eyes moved back to Zahra, demanding an explanation from her.

"I am..so..rry," Zahra replied, with her tearful eyes.

He gripped her chin and pinned her eyes to his.

"Look at me and look well, I'm not good at entertaining disobedience. If I ever saw you disobeying me again, I won't waste a second to break your legs. Not even a second. All of these would be spared but you being my wife, thus under my direct authority, won't be spared. So do what I tell you to do, don't follow others," He threatened and the threat was nough for her to look down again.

"Look up, Zahra, for God's sake," Dua whispered in a low voice and Zahra immediately shot her head up. Tiny whimpers leaving her mouth as she scaredly looked at him, not being able to utter a word. Her neck was slightly pushed back as he was about to lunge her.

"Got me?" Irtaza asked in a low voice, nodding his head as he questioned her.

Only gibberish came out of her mouth. For a moment she thought, she never had a voice.

"Gghhh....jjhhh...jhh," Was her response as her abdomen shivered with her shallow breaths.

"Irtaza that's it for her. Move to the next." Their grandfather spoke, stopping him from further investigating her. He nodded his head in response.

"Why was I not informed about this little outing of yours?" He asked in general and stepped back towards the table.

They all looked down towards the floor. No one knew what to answer and even how to answer.

"We are so...ry bhai," Dua replied, stuttering.

"I don't want this word to be heard again during this whole session. Give me a fucking explanation, not your sorries." He jeered.

"We didn't...know we...had to inform you." Haya stammered.

"Well, in this case, we have our culprit here," he said, and before anyone could know a straight bullet landed to Haseeb's arm, which brushed off the side of his arm and landed straight to the wall behind them. Haseeb hissed and tightly held his arm.

Irtaza moved toward him and a straight punch was landed on his face but he didn't fall.

"Only because of your stupidity my sisters nearly got kidnapped today" he gritted, grabbing his collar and another punch landed on his face, causing his lips to break and blood to draw out.

"Brother of the most powerful mafia don is a stupid piece OF SHIT!" His voice got octaves high as another punch landed on his face.

"Despite my warning, you let Dua and Haya go alone. Despite my warning, you went out without fucking informing me when you already knew about the severity of the situation." He barked and punched him again.

"Are you a fucking fool, dumb who does not care about anything?!" And another punch landed on his face before Irtaza got away from him.

Haseeb was about to fall when Zahra instinctively grabbed his arm to support him which didn't go unnoticed by Irtaza. He pinched the bridge of his nose and narrowed his eyes at her, who immediately removed her hands from Haseeb and stood rigidly.

"Irtaza beta come to me in the morning. I have to discuss something with you. I should take my leave," Their grandfather said and left the office, closing the door behind him.

"Haseeb sharp 7 o'clock you will be joining me in the gym from tomorrow and until your summer breaks aren't over you will accompany me in both, business and mafia. Dua and Haya you are not allowed to leave the haveli for a week and after the week guards will always accompany you while leaving the haveli. Now you all may leave." He commanded and sat back on his black swivel office chair and began to play with the pencil. Four of them turned around and were about to leave the office when his next words stopped Zahra dead in her tracks.

"Not you Zahra,"
