"You guys know each other??" Liam asked, frowning at the easy interaction between Zahir and his Mirrie. As far as he knew, Mirrie kept away from the attention of people. And here she is happily talking to Zahir as if she has known him for ages.
Zada stiffened in alarm and shot a pleading look at her brother who casually leaned back in his chair and shrugged his shoulders.
"I asked you a question, Ahmed." Liam asked icily.
Zada held her breath and felt the walls closing in on her.
Then she wondered why the hell she is even hiding her identity.
It has been a stupid decision to begin with which now turned into a necessity because she is terrified things would change between her and Liam once he knew she is his best friends' sister. What if he chooses his best friends over her?
How had Liam become so important to her in such a short period of time?
She knows she can't hide it forever, but she needs to be more secure in their relationship.
