HER INNOCENCE TAMED MY MONSTER

CHAPTER 18

Enjoy!

MAAZ'S POV:

"Areesha died!"

Listening to those appalling words I threw my cell across the room and punched the wall behind me with the force that my knuckles started to bleed, but,

These two word collapsed my world, no, she can't die, I know she is out there somewhere, no, I have to go there and look at this matter myself, I can't trust anyone with this, I have to go there today,

I picked up a cordless from the night stand and called my assistant giving some instructions about the meetings and work today and walked to the kitchen where Nani ma was sitting around the counter having green tea,

"What's wrong?" she asked, looking at me, "Nothing, why did you ask?" I replied, trying to cover myself from her scrutinizing eyes and open the door of the pantry and examined it, searching for the ingredients I wanted, I walked into it and grab some mushrooms, corns, cherry tomatoes and walked back into the kitchen and took out the chicken and some eggs from the refrigerator,

"I can bet on it Maaz, that there is something bothering you, so why don't you just tell me or I will find it out by my own ways" she said smiling,

"Do you want some sausages?"I asked and started to peel the potatoes, she sighed audibly, "Here you go again," she said, rolling her eyes at me making me chuckle, "Okay, don't tell me, but I have heard something about your engagement in the news today, is it true?" she asked, I stopped chopping he onions for mushroom and cheese omelet and turned towards her, "Where did you hear that?" I asked, as was sure I haven't announced my engagement yet, I have given strict orders to keep it a secret for now, I don't want it to be leaked this soon,

"So, it's just another rumor?" she asked me again, "Um.. There is something I want to tell you Nani ma but we will talk about it later, okay," she nodded and took a sip of her tea,

"Did you talk to that girl?" she asked me after a while, "What girl?"

"The one you misbehaved with!" she said,

Damn! Why can't she forget her! If I will bring Areesha here I am sure she will like her, she will fall for her, for Areesha's innocent face the trap she is not aware of, Nani ma will try to convince me to stay with her and I just can't do that, it is not my plan, I will not be able to take my revenge if she will support Areesha, I have to keep her away from Areesha at any cost.

"come, the breakfast is served," I said and place the plate of strawberry pancakes with vanilla icecream on top, along with the cheese and mushroom omelet sandwich, cheesy chicken strips and potato wedges. "Awww... that's so sweet of you my boy, but I was expecting for some desi breakfast, oh how much I miss it!" she said picking up her fork, "You know, I don't cook desi foods," I said and pour myself a coffee, "yeah but you should give it a try some time," she said and I just shrugged my shoulders,"or you can marry a girl who can cook desi food for you," she said smiling, "Come on.." I said, "I know, I know, you don't want to marry anytime soon, but look my child nothing matters more than a family, you are wasting your time to just earn millions everyday but the thing you want most is a family, so go out there and find a girl for yourself, or I will start looking girls for you," she told me, I put down the fork and knife and wipe my mouth with the napkin and motion my servants to leave from the dinning hall, when they all left the room, I glanced at the doors, "There is something I want to tell you, but please don't get too much excited okay!"

"What is it?" Nani ma asked, frowning her eyebrow, "I am getting married next month," I said in a low voice,she squealed like a teenager and walked towards me and kissed my forehead, "Oh that is so great! At last my boy is getting married, may Allah SWT fill your life with happiness and bless both of you, and bless all of us," she said, "Who is she? I want to meet her today," she asked, "Nani ma she is ill, you can't meet her today , maybe next time," I lied and mentally slapped myself to do this to my only blood relation,
