'You cheater, take my calls, or else I am coming to your house now and will tell everyone what a bad of a flirt and deceitful you are.'

Faraan sighed in disappointment upon seeing Alice's message. How much he despised that woman, but he knew this well that she would do whatever she was saying.

After some thinking, he took up her call.

"Yeah, Alice? Why the hell are you calling me? I have told you, there is nothing left between us then why are you..."

"Huh! There is a thing that is still left between us, you jerk. I am pregnant with your child."

Alice interrupted him as she spat in a loud voice.

'What?' Faraan almost yelled. He couldn't believe his ears.

He rubbed the back of his neck in frustration. How could that happen? How much he didn't want to admit but he knew that the child would be a hundred percent his. He also knew the fact that Alice wasn't a bad girl and that she was just in a relationship with him during their marriage period. Why did he let himself get engrossed in the moment he spent with Alice? That meant his divorce from Alice didn't happen at all since she was pregnant with his child all along.

Faraan whispered some curse words as he threw the pillow harshly on the floor. One after another, problems were coming to him. First marriage with that unknown girl in a month and then Alice's child. But he wouldn't at all let Alice overtake him. He didn't want to get restrained in children's issues. He had to do something to get out of this trouble. He glared at his phone's screen before assembling the right words in his mind.

"Alice, I don't trust you. That baby is certainly not mine. Stop bothering me now, we are already divorced."

"You jerk, stop lying. You know that's your child. If not, then we have another option and I will be more than happy to do this."

Faraan took a deep breath to recede away from the rage which was burning inside of him due to what Alice was saying. It was clear she was referring to a DNA test and by indulging in it, he would be the only one who would be at a loss since Alice's stance would turn out to be right.

"What do you want from me now?" He asked after a while.

"Aww, look how quickly you became a frightened cat," she said amusingly.

"Shut up and come to the point!" He shouted.

"Meet me in my Islamabad apartment." Alice's cheerful voice reverberated through the phone's speaker.

"Are you insane? I am not going to come. I have told you there is nothing between us."

"The car you are using is mine. The money through which you celebrated your birthday last year with your cheap friends was also given by me. The Islamabad flat in which we used to live is also mine and you think we are done? So Mister, if I can make you with my money, I can break you as well. So do--"

"Oh shut up! Don't blackmail me because I won't get intimidated. All the things you are talking about, you had named them to me willingly so now get lost." He interrupted her in a loud voice.

"Hey you--"

Alice was saying something when he cut her call. He knew that Alice would be still alone as her family wouldn't have accepted her. All these things which she was blurting were just to overwhelm him and nothing else. But what if she had patched up with her parents? Then it would be much easier for her to get against him. Faraan grabbed his head in both hands. These days were unlucky for him and he was certain of this. What was important for him was to get away with that forced marriage. Regarding Alice, he would handle her somehow.
