Chapter Five

"Layla is driving me crazy!" He said to himself.

He had to drug her before he could do what he wanted to do to her.

He had his name tatted on her wrist to signify her forced love for him. He also got a tattoo of her name on his chest.

He had carried her back home and falsified some doctor's report that said that she was alright and they had nothing to worry about.

When she wakes up, she would forget whatever bad he had done to her, or so he thought?

He had made the wedding arrangements and as soon as she woke up, they were going to get married and he was going to get all of Ali Gaza's properties.

Ali Gaza was a Mafia leader at the time of his death, he entrusted all of his properties to Mika'il because Mika'il's father was a close friend of his.

Mika'il loathed his father but he knew that he could not reject this offer. He was going to gain dominion over the second biggest Mafia in the world after his ; .

His Mafia , The Devil's Covenant, was a ferocious and deadly Mafia, that was feared around the world.

He was of course the leader and he was very prevalent over all other Mafia's in the world.

He was ruthless, merciless, wicked, heartless and a desperado (Outlaw) in his own sphere.

He feared no one and nothing. His cruelness was so rigorous that, people even believed that the devil was intimidated by him.

No wonder he was tagged "THE DEVIL". Which obviously stands for 'Do Everything Vile In Life'.

He got whatever he wanted and nothing could stand in his way of getting it.

Mika'il Bun Sheikh Abd Azeez, was the mortal name of an indestructible war machine. He was a sinner who never regretted being who he is.

He was a brutal man with serious anger issues.

Up until he found his angel after 17 years of missing her.

He was bound on making her his, at any cost.

He was going to bully her for a while before he would go easy on her.

And she was making it very easy for him to bully her, because she was refusing to submit to him.

He decided to go to her home to check out on her.

He drove to her house in his Range Rover.

After driving for about 10 minutes, he got to her home.

He knew something was wrong. He walked to the front door and found it ajar.

He begin panicking at that point.

He barged in to find Layla lying on the floor bleeding from her nose.

She was the only person at home.

He rushed to her and picked her up. Luckily, she was still conscious

" What's wrong Muhabun?" He asked in a terrified voice.

He didn't want to lose her, not now, not ever.

Not when he finally met her after missing her for such a long time.

She looked at him with red eyes and meekly pointed to the kitchen cabinet.

He carried her gently and placed her on the couch, before he rushed to the cabinet.

He ransacked through the it's in it. He eventually found, a little box that had 'Layla's Drugs' inscribed on it.

He took it out swiftly and rushed back to where Layla was.

He opened the box up to find series of drugs with different names.

He didn't know which one to give her.

She meekly placed her hand into the box and retrieved a syringe and a small medicine bottle.

Mika'il took it from her and infused the medicine into the syringe.

She took it from him and injected it into her neck.

Her face started changing colour. She was getting better.

Her colour was finally returning. Her nose had stop bleeding and her once numb body begun to have some life in it.

The first thing she said was a meek,

"T-Thank you".

Mika'il was sweating at this point , as tho' he had run a marathon.

He hugged her weak body tightly and whispered

" Don't ever do that to me".

She tried to you'll away from him, but she couldn't.

He was too strong for her to get out of his grip.

A tear drop escaped from his eye. He wiped it away quickly, before she saw it.

"Are you alright Muhabun?" He asked. She flinched at what he called her. He raised an eyebrow at her, as tho' he was daring her to not reply.

She was scared for her life, so she nodded.

"In Words Girl!" He snapped at her.

She sighed sadly and said a soft

"Yes"

He smiled and went on to ask her,

"What was that?". She sighed and begun,

" When I was younger, I was diagnosed with an ailment similar to cancer, that was going to kill me.

It was when the inner cells of your body, don't feel comfortable with each other and tebd to fight each other, till they all die

I was s'pposed to die early but I didn't and this is what it's been for me since."

Mika'il was petrified at this point. His woman was going to die?

No! He wouldn't let that happen.

He held her tight to his chest and whispered;

"I'm never going to let you die, got it?"

She barely looked at him. She sighed and pulled away from him slowly.

"Please stop running away from me. I don't want to hurt you" he said in a miserable voice.

She didn't even spare him a glance. She got up end walked to the kitchen to bring some tissues to clean up the mess on the floor.

He wasn't there on the couch, when she returned.

She sighed in relief.

The worst was to come.

Mika'il had actually gone outside of the house to place a call.

"Hello Mom?"

"Hello Mika'il? Where are you?"

"I'm at Layla's "

"You know, you shouldn't be alone with her, since you're not married yet?"

"Yes, I'm not doing anything wrong to her. I just want you to speed up the marriage preparations" he said to his mom.

"Okay, when exactly do you want this wedding to take place?"

"As soon as possible. Even if it's today"

"Okay, we'll have to wait until tomorrow, the wedding will be at the Mansion alright?" His mother asked.

"Yes, that's fine. Goodbye" he concluded.

He was very anxious to get married to her, in order to put his plans, into action.

He was going to get married to her and make her sign a contract to stay with him for a maximum of 12 months.

He would make her fall for him, within those months. And they could have a real marriage.

He knew he could do it, he was just doubtful of her behaviour to him now.

Should he continue to bully her? Or should he stop?

He chose the former. He would continue to bully her, but he would bully her wisely and not hurt her too much.

He smiled at the thought of her being his forever.

He called the elderly maid back at his own house.

"Hello Mrs. Feyrouzah "

He treated her just like his mother.

"Hello Mika'il? How are you doing?"

"I'm good. Can you please clean up my room once again and add a bit of feminine touches to the bed, closet and bathroom?" He asked her.

"No problem son. I'm going to make it very nice for my daughter-in-law, Layla." She replied happily.

"Thank you" he said as he hanged up.

He had already told her so much about Layla already.

He knew that she would make it very nice for Layla.

He walked back into the house to find her not in the hall.

The bloodied floor had been cleaned.

He walked to her room and heard water running from the bathroom.

He smirked as he began having wild thoughts.

He had to resist the temptation to go peep at her.

He sat down on her bed and glanced through some papers on her table.

She was a brilliant artist and writer.

What attracted him most to her drawings was that, the eyes of the man in one of her drawings, looked just like his.

And this drawing was done about 2 weeks ago. So she couldn't possibly have seen him before drawing this.

He didn't know how to react to this.

He looked through her writings too and saw a lot of things that he never expected from her.

She had written on one note, about how she was an aggressive child and was battling depression.

He was surprised that, his girl was all this.

He was feel in thoughts that he didn't realise that she had return to her room, fully dressed.

She looked surprised to see him in her room.

She begun panicking, Mika'il looked at her and smirked.

He has observed that, she hadn't taken notice of his name tattoed on her wrist.

He rose up and walked to her.

She backed away as he came closer.

He smirked and took her hand harshly and kissed it.

"My name looks perfect, when it tattoed on your wrist" he said.

She finally realised what he was talking about.

"N-No...This can't be...N-No."

She suddenly burst into tears.

"Why me? What do you want from me? Why don't you just leave me alone?" She cried in her soft voice.

He smirked and said

"You're mine! Get that?! "

She fell unto the ground wailing.

He smirked and left her, but not after force fully hugging and giving her a peck on her forehead.

She felt miserable. And he was the cause. She had to endure all of this to save Salsabila and her mother Kawsar.

"Bullying and Torturing you, is my only way of telling you how much I love you, for now..."
