Married to Mr. Mafia by Nusrat Jahan (books for 10th graders TXT) 📗

" We will talk about this later, " I said hurriedly .

" Go hide , I will find Khalid or Osman " I told her .

She nodded, running away .
 

  I heard the man shouting behind me . My eyes widened as I ran toward the main hall .

I was looking back when all of a sudden I slammed into someone spilling the juice all over her dress .

" WHAT THE HELL ! " My eyes widen in fear as the women in front glare at me in pure disgust .

" Sorry! Sorry sorry sorry " I chanted , apologizing again and again .

She wrinkled her nose brushing her dress , " I am extremely sorry I apologise again " I blink back the tears threatening to come out. I don't know what's more bad coming in my day 

" Mom, are you okay? " One of the guests  was quick to come to her aid .

My heart drops  I remember her face , she just insulted me few minutes ago because of my dress , she is her daughter, now she won't leave this chance to humiliate and make things worse .

" This good for nothing women spilled the whole drink on me " she spat looking at me bitterly .

" Maam trust me it happens by mistake " I tried to brush her dress but she pushed my arm like I am some disgusting garbage .

" Eww don't come near me you little prick " I slump my shoulders bowing down in shame as servant start gathering around us .

" You did it intentionally didn't you ? " I lowered my eyebrows at her daughter's false accusations.

" What ?" 

" You like her dress " she shrugged her shoulders "since you cannot wear one ,  you got jealous and ruined it " she smirked evilly .

I cover my mouth at her false accusations , how can someone lie so easily?

" Don't you dare you lie " I step closer in anger .

" What's going on here? " Osman walked through the crowd , his eyes looking between me and Gabrielle .

" What happened Amira ?" he came to my side .

" I -" before I could explain myself the self centred girl open her trash mouth again .

" She ruined my mother's dress intentionally " the girl  smirks while playing with her hair with index finger .

She is enjoying my misery a lot .... 

" Fired her right now " Gabrielle demanded while I begged Osman from my eyes .

If Khalid got to know then fired then he  would kill me !

I don't want to go through these things

" No please I promise I will pay you back " I can never pay her back even if I work hard my whole life .



 

She laughed humorlessly " do you even know how much this cost " she said in a mocking tone .

She pointed her white manicured nails " Even if your parents , work there till there feet ruin won't be able to pay one fourth of this dress " 

I clench my fist" Don't you dare to bring my parents into this " I bare my teeth .

" Amira " Nafisa hiss, holding my hand trying to stop me .

"Maybe I don't have much money like you but I have value and principles in life which you are lacking clearly " I spat ... how dare she bring my parents into this .

" Yes my parents can never earn one fourth of this dress but at least they didn't marry someone double older than them just to get rich and afford this dress " I yelled at the end .

Her face become red in anger , I can see the vein popping out on her forehead even with so much thick layer of makeup , she look a red tomato " HOW DARE YOU BIT-" She raised her hand to slap, I close my eyes tightly turning my face in instinct , my heart pound inside my chest ready for hit but it never came , turning my face slowly I open my one eye to see someone shielding my body protectively , holding Gabrielle wrist tightly . 

My eyes got bigger when I realised it was none other than Khalid standing in front me giving death glares to Gabrielle , whose face got pale , as she stepped back slowly .

" How . Dare . You "Khalid  jerks her hand away .

Gabrielle hiss holding her wrist then glares at Khalid " is this how you treat your guest let alone your future business partner " she yelled surprisingly without any fear . 

This is the first time I saw someone raising their voice against Khalidl .

My eyes drop on his clench fist which almost turned white , the veins are popping out on his arm indicating the temperature of his anger rose breaking the scale .

Oh no Amira you are gone !

Khalid steps a little closer towering over her. I can see the hint of fear in her eyes " if you ever dare to raise your voice against me ever. Again . I will erase your family existence in blink Do. You. Get . His voice was dangerously calm , the whole party went silent as he spoke showing the power he has in his voice . Everyone can feel the powerful aura around him . 

Gabrielle gulp nodding then back off , then he look at the people like a lion observing his prey " THE DINNER IS OVER , GO HOME " the authority in his voice was enough to scatter people at once as within few minutes the whole house empty leaving Me , Khalid , Nafisa , Osman and few staff .
 

I rub my palm against each other nervously, not daring to look up " Didn't I warn you? " He took a step closer baring his teeth .

I step back in fear " I - I am " I felt my throat dry as the words refused to come out .

" Khalid , she is a innocent, it happened by mistake " Nathan always tried to defend me .

" Do you remember my word Tesoro? " His voice was dangerously calm as he stepped closer , I could feel his glares .

I nodded, stepping back .

" What did I say? " he asked calmly .

I stayed quiet, darting my eyes on the ground .

" WHAT DID I SAID ". His voice roared, making me shiver in fear .

" Tha - that I will see your worst side " I stumbled on my words.

" Correct " all of the sudden he grabbed my hand dragging me Allah knows where .

" Pl- please listen to me at least '' I begged crying trying to break my steps but he continued to drag me forcefully .
