She looks at the room she was dragged in by their guards. It is like an investigation room with a desk in front of her and she sits on the cold steel chair and the room is extremely good.

With the dress, she is wearing it is hard to even feel a little warmth from it.

She is here for approximately a few hours she doesn't know the time because she can't watch anything. She was dragged here with her eyes covered so there is nothing she got to know. She knows that they can see her from the big glass in front of her though she can't see them.

She shivers holding her hand together as she blows on them.

"You can't keep my wife in there like some God damn criminal". He said barging in the conference room where the other is, after failing to reach her room where she is kept

"You know we eliminate the threat the minute we find it". Akbar said nonchalantly as he drums his finger on the table, "She is still alive, isn't she? She is lucky that she is your wife or she would have been six feet--".

He bangs his hand on the table glaring at Akbar, "She didn't do anything".

He said each word slowly to pressure them hoping it reaches his thick skull.

"The reports say otherwise". Akbar said throwing the files to him and he pushes them away, "You need to calm down while we interrogate this".

"Interrogate? Like those filthy criminals that we catch?". His voice boomed through the painful silence, "She is my wife, so, excuse me while I don't calm down to have her interrogated for something I know she didn't do".

"Fine". Akbar said sighing, "If you cannot place your emotions aside and work with us. You can leave this room while we discuss the issue".

He breathes heavily with the anger building inside him. But knowing that the only way he can get his wife out is to sit here and listen to everything to get the facts right, he sits down on the farthest chair in the room.

"We have the reports already and I will send one of our team members to interview her for it". Akbar said looking at the reports, "We can confirm the facts directly from her because I know none of you will believe me".

He took a deep breath as Akbar press the button below the table and the screen appears where she was kept it. He clenches his hand watching her struggling in that cold room. He knows for a fact that they kept that room extremely cold because the temperature affects the person mind and it is easy to interrogate them.

But his wife wasn't a criminal. She is not a criminal. He wanted to scream it out loud but Akbar being Akbar will probably lock him down too.

He could feel her shivering causing his heart to tighten wanting to embrace her in his arms and if he could, he would have stayed by her side but the most secure part of their building.

They were back home.

He never wished to be back here in this way. She wanted to build their home and he was planning to have them work on it as soon as they arrive.

This was not how he wanted things to be.

Once she was separated from him at the wedding. She was immediately taken away by the team, on a separate plane to their TJC headquarters.

He watches her struggling until their best team leader who has been with them for years and investigating all the traitor or anyone who wanted to harm them.

She gulped visibly when a bluff man walked inside. The threatening look in his eyes and the way he walked towards her throwing the folder jerking her backward as she tries to create as much space as possible from him.

"I will ask a few questions and you will answer them". The man uttered with sheer anger and she nodded

He opens the folder throwing a picture in front of her and she looks at it frowning.

"These are the stocks you were trying to buy from all their companies without anyone knowing". The man pointed, "You threatened our shareholder with the fact that you are married to one of them and that you can have them in trouble".

Her eyes widen, "What? No. I never did that. I didn't even work in a while".

The man banged his hand on the table startling her, "Look at them again and answer again".

She closes her eyes looking at the shares that were under her name but she never bought any of them.

She shakes her head, "I have no idea how I have them. I didn't buy them. They are too expensive for me to just buy them".

The man throws a picture towards her and her eyes widen when she looks at the man who she contacted long back to buy the share and he turned out to be someone she wouldn't want to deal with.

"I see you recognise him". The man said smirking, "Why did you meet him?".

She holds her hand together, "I did meet him to buy shares--".

"And you say you never bought these shares?".

"I didn't. I didn't even get in contact with him after this meeting".

"You do realise this man sells illegal shares?".

She looks at him shocked, "What?".

"He is a man who sells shares of any company illegally or through blackmailing the owner of those shares".

She feels everything closing down on her, "I-I didn't--".

"You met Romaisa". It was a fact and she nodded, "Why?".

"I didn't meet her. She came to me". She said truthfully

"Why will the mafia queen come to you?".

"I don't know".

"Are you sure about that?".

"Yes".

"Lies. You met her at the big event too".

Awais eyes widen as he looks at Akbar, "She met Romaisa in that event?".

"I was just as shocked when I saw the footage". Akbar said sighing

He turns to wait for her answer looking at the screen.

"I didn't meet her. I was leaving the event when I crashed into her". She said and her words fell deaf on the man ears

"And what did you speak about?".

"She said she thought I would have more guts but I didn't so I got angry and that's it".

"And the queen of mafia said only that to you. Do you think that's believable?".

She holds her head feeling headache forming, "I told you what happened. There is no way I can prove it".

"Why did you meet the second time?".

"She said she wanted to tell me something so we went away. She just told me that my past is catching up". She answered frustrated

"You are lying". The man said glaring at her as she feels her heart shudders, "You planned to ruin this empire by buying shares for her and have her involved in our business".

"No. That's not true". She shouted, "How can I even get that much power to ruin them? And most importantly why?".

"Glad you asked". The man said smirking, "You know your friend from high school, Rohan?".

She nodded timidly, "Yes".

"He told us that you have a serious grudge against Awais". The man said showing her the video

Her eyes widen, "This is not true".

"So you didn't hate Awais?".

"No. I did. But--".

The man pushes his hand on the table leaning towards her and she leans back, "Tell us the truth and you can be free".

She feels tears brimming her eyes, "I am telling the truth. You are not listening".

He clench his hands tightly as they starting to hurt when he saw the tears in her eyes.

"The truth is that you hated Awais. You came here pretending to work for him then you went to secretly buy shares with Romaisa help and planned the downfall on this empire". The man said sitting back down

"I said this is not true. I never met Romaisa, she met me. I never even spoke to her unless she spoke to me".

"So all the other parts are true?".

"What?". She asked confused

"You said Romaisa part is not true and not the others which imply that they are true". The man snarled making her heart stops

She realised that no matter how she explains it, her words held no value. They have already concluded that she did wrong and she was already done for.

"Romaisa did offer me to buy those shares". She said clenching her hands

"It wasn't that hard was it?". The man said smirking as he stands, "I believe that you have tried to do exactly what we found but you failed".

She knows she has done it.

She has hurt the one person she started to care for. She knows she shouldn't have ever let him take her heart or take his heart from him and now she knows she broke him.

"No. This is not true". He said angrily as the screen blanked, "This is not true. Let me go and speak to her".

"If you don't start thinking from your brain. I will not have you involved in this issue". Akbar snapped

"You are holding the person I care for and you are asking me to be sane". He shouted wanting to punch Akbar but Usman holds him back, "I don't care what she said or did. She is my wife and I am taking her away".

"You know if you choose the traitor, you are out of TJC and our empire". Akbar stated calmly

"I don't care. I want my wife and I am leaving". He said walking out of the room banging the door behind him as he rushes towards where she is kept

He tried to move past the guards as he fought a few and they fought back. He has a bruise on his cheeks, eye and some on his body that was starting to slow down his fight until he feels the black dots appearing and he fell unconscious.

With one thought that he needed his wife.

She heard the door banging and she jerks as she shivers badly.

Akbar walks inside raged and she has never seen him like this.

"I told you if you ever hurt him, I will not leave you, didn't I?". Akbar asked as she could feel his fury and all she wishes is for her husband to come to her

She nodded.

"Yet you hurt one of my brothers. I will not spare you if you think that. I will not allow you to ruin him". Akbar snapped

"You will not believe me no matter how many times I tell the truth". She said feeling like she was losing the world altogether

"No". Akbar said harshly

She nodded, "What do you want me to do?".

After Akbar told her the plan he has for her and she agrees, he starts to head out.

"Let me see him once". She pleaded

Akbar looks at her sharply but nodded as his guards take her through the long corridor to the room where he was being treated.

Everyone leave them alone.

She looks at him sleeping on the bed with the bruises on his handsome face and she feels her heart clench.

Tears brimmed her eyes as she moves closer to him placing her head on his chest.

"I am sorry. I am sorry". She cried holding onto him, "I told you not to love someone like me. Look what happened, Awais".

She wanted to hold him, feel him, touch him and stay in his comfort until the door opens again and the guards walk in, separating her.

She continued to cry through the way not looking at anyone. She changes into a different pair of clothes holding the essentials bag as she meets Akbar on the runway at the airport after a short drive.

"Can I have my phone for a minute?". She asked Akbar who handed it to her

She opens her husband contact sending him the message before she hands the phone back to Akbar, boarding the plane to leave forever.

I am sorry.

That all she said to him and that all she could feel.

The strings that joined them together were twisted in the game of fate.

****

Do you think Akbar is doing wrong?
