"W H A T did you find?". Her husband asked quivering

"I-I found that Eira wasn't the best when she started. Do you remember how many cases she lost and how she used to cry to us every day that she was failing?. Do you remember how desperate she was?". Laith asked as his voice broke and he nodded

"And do you know what desperation does?". His wife asked smirking as she opens the file looking through it to nothing that she already doesn't know about

"She entered into the devil den and signed a deal with him". Laith said falling on the ground with the pressure of his own words," She readily signed a deal with that devil to have his money, fame and power".

"A part of his money, fame and power". She corrected leaning on the wall

"Speak clearly". He ordered angrily

"You want to know the truth?". Laith asked challenging, "Then hear it, our best friend who we have grown with sharing each and every secret of ours is nothing different from those monsters we are after. She went to them signing a deal that your wife will help her with her case and she will act as her (Caira) in court while it will all be seen as anyone outside that it was indeed Caira in the court when she wasn't physically there. The judge who always seems to be on the cases of Caira- I managed to meet in and he is dying in hospital he confessed that everyone in the court was Caira's ex-husband people even himself and that no one has ever seen Caira just used her brain and name in court while in actual it was Eira present there in her place. The things that Eira desperately wanted was in expense for her to act as Caira in court".

His steps staggered as he turns to look at his wife who had nothing but the blank expression on her face while she looks at his friend breaking down in front of them.

"Eira- why?. Why did she do something like this?. We weren't supposed to be this way. We- she wasn't like that then why?". Laith cried

She sighs shaking her head at the breakdown as she walks towards the broken man on the floor. She wonder what will he be like when he know the other truth?

"Is that all it takes to break you?". She asked tilting her head as she looks in his torn eyes that desperately want this not to be true, "What will you do when you find out what she has done to actually achieve what she has today?".

"W-What?". Laith asked as shocked filled his sense

She chuckles darkly the sound so dark that their souls stirred, "This". She said shaking the documents in her hands, "Was just the start of her comfortable life. Why do you think she travels overseas and how she does that?".

Laith's eyes widen, "What has she done?. What was the thing she did?".

"When do you think she actually had it all?". She asked smirking, "When did I disappear from this world?".

"I don't know. I-". Laith started frustrated

"That is your next task then". She said shrugging handing him the documents, "What you bring to me will all be something I already have. These are all the things I want you both to look at yourselves instead of showing it to you. But the actual things you need can and will be brought by me. Prepare yourselves while you can because once the storm comes there will not be a chance".

"Did you asked your family to be safe?". She asked her husband who remains looking right at her shocked

He nodded.

"Well, I guess I should leave". She said sighing because she really wanted to have breakfast with him since it always boosts her day

As soon as she leaves he moves to hold his friend.

"Laith". He said shaking him

"Even if her living conditions weren't good does that give her rights to do something like this?". Laith asked pushing his hands away, "I need to go back to work".

She enters inside their room walking towards the mirror looking at herself.

"You see how exquisite you are". Her ex-husband whispers as she looks at herself in one of the broken glasses

He lifts her chins holding that broken piece from her and jabbing it into her arm making her scream in pain as she trash in his tight hold but he didn't allow her to move.

"You are my addiction. You are that expensive wine I drown myself into every day to revive myself in its intoxication and until the end, you will remain mine. Just mine".

She hates herself.

She used to hate looking at herself in the mirror because it all connects to her pain. She remembers when she had seen at herself after years she didn't even realise that she had grown into a woman. She was always intoxicated by some drugs pumping in her system for her to remain conscious of herself. She was a toy in her ex-husband's hands who he used and played with as he liked.

She was his personal doll.

He dressed her as he liked, he stripped her as he liked and he did everything that he possibly could.

"Do you see this one?". He asked as her red eyes look at his hand that held a sharp screwdriver in his hand that she dreaded the most, "This right here is my favourite one".

He looks down at her naked body as she tries to move away but he pushed her down hard knocking her head on the side and her eyes blurred.

"This one entering inside of you caused you the most pain doesn't it?".

She feels her breathing heavily as she tries her best to not feel the pain she had felt for years in that place. She wishes anything else to distract her and then she starts to move downstairs stumbling her way until she found her husband and she wraps her hands around her waist hearing her favourite heartbeat that calms her down.

"Are you ok?". Her husband asked wrapping his arms around her watching her breathing heavily, "It's ok. I got you".

She smiles leaning into his touch taking a deep breath as she pushes herself back looking at him.

"Are you leaving?". She asked and she wishes there was a way he doesn't even have to leave

"Well, I have some people to save today so I will come back to you as soon as I finish". He said grinning kissing her forehead lovingly, "I will miss you, baby".

"Me too". She said smiling lightly

He walks out of the house turning to find her waving at him and he chuckles doing the same walking out of the house half-hearted. The betrayal from his close friend was a sharp knife that pierces through his heart. He was yet to find what exactly more his friend had done to his wife and he isn't sure if he could take it. Not because of his friend but because it was his wife in it. Knowing bits and pieces and watching so closely at her breaking points he wonders how much worse this will get.

He walks into the hospital starting his duty as he walks around taking turns and watching the clock before he could head out of this place to his safe haven. He often texts his wife in all his free time and she immediately replies to him which always made him smile.

"Is it your wife?". He heard someone say and he looks ahead to find the doctor who had saved his wife (Izra) sitting in front of him, "How is she?".

He frowns, "Do you know her from before?".

Izra face pale clearly indicating that there was a hidden story that he had no idea about.

"Have you ever wondered how is that you were able to keep her at the hospital when she doesn't even exist in the world?". Izra asked sighing, "She has been through hell and back. She doesn't need to go through more of it".

His mind after that went sideways as he tries to focus on his work but couldn't. All he ever felt was his mind filled with questions and no answers.

"Hey, baby". He said after she answered his call

"Rayyan". She groaned as she tries to answer her email, "Is everything ok?".

"Of course. I can't call my wife when I miss her?". He said chuckling hearing a light chuckle of hers that settled his unsettle heart at once

"Well, you can but your voice is different. You know being a lawyer I can depict that". She said smiling as she placed her laptop away walking towards the frame of the table which had their wedding photo in it and it was her husband doing, "So, what is it?".

"Do you know Izra from before?". He asked directly not wanting to run around the bush

She stilled for a moment, "Why do you think that?".

"She asked about you. She hasn't care about anyone and at first, I thought it was because she operated on you and saw you like that however her eyes spoke more. It was like she had seen you more than one time. I just couldn't pinpoint exactly what". He rambles on

"Is this Rayyan?". He heard a rough voice then a whisper of his wife through the phone 'it's him'.

Ayaan. Her ex-husband brother.

He could swear he was taken back by his mere presence because it certainly doesn't give any humanely vibes. He had seen this man once when he had murdered a woman in front of him mercilessly without any remorse in his eyes and he dreaded to see those eyes of his again.

But when he closed his eyes hearing his wife heavy breathing he knows he had made his heart of stone to fight off the people who had caused his wife pain and with that, he turn around to face the man himself.

Just like he remembers his eyes held the same icy coldness in them as he looks at him studying him. Obviously from his eyes, he must have found everything about him by now from his birth to this day and every single detail, weakness and event was in his filthy hands.

He was despicable.

He never hated any person in his life but he had this feeling that by the end of this meeting his hate will empower all other emotions. It wasn't the fact that his eyes were hardened like a rock it was the fact that those eyes held secrets that were all of his wife. To have his wife lingering in this man eyes had him go to become a roaring beast that he had hidden deep inside of him.

"Now now a doctor took an oath to not kill a life instead of saving one. Would you save me now?". Ayaan snarled

He looks down to find a bullet in his chest and the blood following down like a river. He didn't have enough thoughts as he fell on the ground and the other doctor rushes him inside the operation room. His hand clenched as he tries to understand and make sense of the situation but he couldn't.

He had to operate because he was the only doctor on duty and it was his surgery. The hardest part was when he remembers his wife eyes at every single moment from the day he had met her and the pain that they always held in them.

He had saved him.

A man who wasn't and shouldn't be saved because he was only going to become a monster once he was awake. He didn't have it in him to return home that night as he remains in hospital until the sun was out again. But with this sun- no hope came back. He wishes that something happens to Ayaan's after his surgery and any kind of reaction so he dies right here.

Unfortunately, Ayaan lived and was awake waiting for him.

Once he enters inside the room was cold not only from the air conditioning but the aura of the man who was digging a hole into him.

"I know you were weak but I never thought you would be this weak". Ayaan said laughing maniacally as he looks at him blankly, "How come she chooses you after watching what real men are like?".

"Perhaps she actually finds a real man and not a monster this time". He replied watching how angry Ayaan got

"Mind your tongue, boy or I will make your death even more painful than I already imagined it". Ayaan snarled

He glares at him, "Don't forget you were at the mercy of my hands to save you just a while back".

Ayaan chuckles a dead chuckle that restores through the room and reminds him of his wife back home.

"Oh I will remember this but you should remember that you had one chance to kill me and now I will be your death and takes what's mine from you". Ayaan said as his eyes turn into a psychopath

"You. Will. Never. Touch. My. Wife". He warned losing his patience

Ayaan smirks maniacal, "You or anyone for that matter cannot ever have what doesn't belongs to them. She belongs to us and she will always until her last breath until we are done with playing with our doll".

He frowns at his disgusting words as Ayaan continues, "You should ask her how much we loved sharing her around. You should learn that someone like her is not supposed to be everyone's but only the people I allow her to have and you have already crossed that line. Imagine how much I am going to make your life worse to the point that you won't even recognise yourself and to the point that you love will come backbiting at you. Be carefully for what is to come. I came here to warn you because I will flip the world of your fantasy around now".
