2 years later,

"I can't believe that were finally graduating!!" Fadeela; Carina squealed.

"I'm so happy for y'all" Aeesha grinned adjusting Layla's gown.

"Guys!! It's time everyone has been called to the hall" Maryam announced.

"Let's gooooo" Layla shouted on top of her voice cause she's really happy that she is graduating

The past two years have been really tough and rough at the same time for her but with her cousin and her friend's support,she eventually moved on with her life and decided not to be hanging in the past and Ya Kameela's wedding also took place it was soooo rocking and unforgettable!

They all cat walked to the hall with their biggest smiles which caught alot of people's attention especially Aaban but his eyes were on one person and that is his wife

~

Her charming smile caught his whole attention and now he is completely staring at her

For him,the past two years are the worst years of his entire life

He didn't want to do what he did but he had no other choice and he's sure that she will understand

One day....

They all settled down in the hall as the time for the certificates to be received was announced

They started with 3rd class upper and went on like that

All the graduants were shaking and some were even sweating

Cara got 2nd class upper and Carina got 2nd class

"Lastly we will like to call out our valedictorian,the student of the year who graduated with a first class degree and flying colors, Leila Mustapha!" The Mc announced and everyone cheered

She stood up with her head held high and walked to the stage

"Good morning everyone! I'm so glad that you all are here to celebrate our success and show us how much we really mean to you all this award is not just for me,but also for a certain person and that person is my mom I wish she was here with me I'm sure she would have been proud but I hope that she is proud of me and I will like to thank my friends cause this would never have been possible without their support and I'm really happy today to stand here and say that I Layla Mustapha I'm proud to be in this college and this school will forever have a place in my heart" She concluded and collected her award from the VC but didn't shake his hand and she was glad he understood

She strolled back to her seat and ignored the smile that Aaban flashed her

The graduation ended and people started the leaving

"Congratulations Layla I'm very proud of you" Anty Falmata grinned at Layla and gave her a tight hug.

"Thanks aunt" Layla smiled back at her.

"Barrister Layla!" Falisha teased.

"Toh now because you graduated last year you're teasing me" Layla pouted.

"Aww congrats babyyy" She hugged her cousin.

"Where is Qamrah?" Layla asked looking around.

"She couldn't make it because of some issues" Falisha said.

"What of Fadoul?"

"He has travelled" Falisha replied

"Y'all don't forget about our girl's party" Fadeela reminded them.

Everyone left back to their various homes while Elle were busy setting up the garden for the girl's party they are having at night

••••••••••••••••

Layla got dressed in a milk crop top and a black tights

She washed her hair thoroughly,dried it and plaited it into two braids

She sprayed a reasonable amount of perfume and wore her Abaya on top of her clothes in case

"Is everything ready?" Layla asked.

"Yes ma'am you like it?" Elle grinned.

"Yes it's so lovely,are the dishes ready?" She asked checking out the place.

"Yes and I'm going to bring them out now" She left.

All the dishes were brought and honestly,the whole place smelt heavenly due to the burning incense sticks

The dishes are Barbecue chicken, McDonald's burgers, Sandwiches, Watermelon juice,Banana smoothie and chips

"Suprise!!" Fadeela,Maryam and Aeesha chorused.

"Wow!! You guys look dashing" Layla complimented their outfits

They all planned to wear milk crop tops and black tights

"Lay please can you borrow me your ribbon" Aeesha asked.

"Let me go and get a new one for you cause I'm not wearing any" She ran to her room.

"The black one will fit her perfectly since she is wearing a milk top" She picked the black ribbon out of the tons of ribbons that she has

She rushed out but she bumped into a hard thing

Aaban raised his face and the sight in front of him made him to swallow hard

She looks so charming,hot and sexy

"H-hey" He smiled.

"Hi" She rolled her eyes and was about to leave when he held her hand

"You look beautiful" He whispered.

She felt really happy but that happiness died down when she remembered what happened two years ago

"Look mister,keep your compliments to yourself" She hissed.

Layla helped Aeesha and tied her hair up with the ribbon and the party started with Layla,Aeesha,Maryam,Fadeela,Falisha and Qamrah

They ate,danced, played games and did all sort of things making sure that the night was memorable

After the party was over,they all went back to their respective homes while Layla helped Elle to clear the garden and do the dishes

She went back to her room and took off her Abaya

A loud sound frightened her and she turned around immediately to see a drunk Aaban

Wait! Didn't he say that he has stopped drinking?!

So he lied!

Aaban's Pov

Her words pierced right through my chest but what can I do?

I caused everything! I'm such a jerk

I picked my car key and left the house immediately

I can't bear the pain anymore! Her attitude towards me is hurting me alot

I drove to the place I used to visit when I wanted to drink alcohol

No,I'm not going to drink alcohol but I'm going to clear my mind

"Waiter please get me a glass of orange juice" I  ran my hand through my hair.

Unknown's Pov

I paid the waiter to spike Aaban's drink with a drug that will make him drunk

I want Layla to hate him more than she already does! If I can't get her,then no one will

No one!

Continuation of Aaban's Pov

I started feeling dizzy as soon as I finished the cup

"What did you add to my drink?" I asked.

"Nothing sir" He smirked

I hissed and left the place immediately before driving back home

I checked everywhere but I didn't see Layla so I checked her room and I met her standing with a top which stopped just some inches away from her belly button and a tights

"W-what are you doing?" She stammer

"P-pl-ea-s-se stay I want to talk to you can I tell you something?" I asked.

"You can leave it till tomorrow please leave" She said.

"Noooo"

"Please" She started crying in fear obviously.

She sat down on the bed and I sat down beside before embracing her

She smelt so heavenly that I couldn't resist myself the urge to hug her tightly.

"What are you doing?" She tried pushing me away but I held her tighter

"P..please just once" I begged

Layla.

"What are you talking about?" I asked in fear cause I heard something that men often rape women when they are drunk.

"Please I promise that I won't ..." I cut him off.

"No! Don't you dare touch me" I pushed him.

"Are you crazy!?" I shouted.

"Yes I am! I-i am crazy about you!" He shouted back.

"Lies! Just keep quiet now because you want to take advantage of me you're suddenly saying that you love me? Wow! Aaban wow! What a great performance the time that I wanted to hear you say those three magical words back to me but you never did and know I despise those words so much! Now please leave" I sniffed.

"No!" He said and started walking towards me while I kept walking back till my back touched the wall.

"I'm sorry but I can't stop myself anymore" He apologized and closed the distance between us

My heart is on fireeeeeee!! I just had my first kiss after three years of marriage

He grabbed my hand and pushed me towards my bed

"Sorry" He whispered and walked towards the light switch and turned the lights off

Oh nooo! I'm so fucking dead this is definitely the worst day of my life

Hey guys!! How was the chapter?

Oh my god guys I'm crying right now!

Who has an idea of why Aaban did all that he did?

The person with the right answer will get a shoutout

Would you rather have a lowkey wedding and have your dream honeymoon or a grand wedding without a honeymoon
