BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.

If there is anything or any phase Sa'eed hated his whole life is living a life without Suhayr inside. He once thought he was going to enjoy life if she is not in his life but now, he don't know whether he is going crazy or is crazy already. Who would've thought he would miss Suhayr like mad? Once upon a time, he can't stand the sight of someone saying her name and now, he craves anything that has to do with Suhayr and even eavesdrop on his youngest sister's conversation Nafisa when she came once and talked to Suhayr's best friend and sister in his home as if they are grieving.

"Do you think she will come back here? I mean, it's been fourteen days! Two whole weeks without trace of her anywhere." Nafisa's anxious voice cut in through the air as they sat in his private living room upstairs talking. He don't understand why they need to come to his chamber to talk but he isn't complaining, they are family after all.

"I've been thinking the same too after three days. Suhayr never run away from feelings or anything for that matter, she is no coward so I'm really anxious about what is going on with her. From Egypt, she didn't come back? There is something enormous behind this!" Tasneem wringed her fingers together while shifting closer to the edge of the sofa.

She told Suhayr to think about her feelings for Sa'eed and tell him before it gets too late but she never thought Suhahr preferred running away from feelings than facing them. She said she does not want to pursue their relationship further but all Tasneem could think was, this trip to Egypt would help them shape their relationship right. She couldn't be more wrong about Suhayr yet again. In their whole life together, she never gets to understand Suhayr through and through. She unfolds herself during each step of their lives and this is just the one for their nineteen years.

The girl is hitting twenty soon and she is still not thinking about arranging her future even for the sake of her foster mother. Something terrible happened in that Egypt, she could feel it in her bones. There is no way Suhayr will run away because of petty feeling she could shelve away and enjoy the royal life she wanted. She wants to find out what but how could she do that when Suhayr is not with her and she doesn't even check out her social media accounts. She even changed her phone number and left the country probably, so what is she going to do to find out the truth? Sa'eed might not even know seeing as Suhayr is the most narrow minded person she knows living on earth.

Her YouTube channel is hitting twenty thousand subscribers already, it is moving real fast but without new contents, Tasneem don't know anymore. She's tried giving them a tour of their chamber but she was not sure if she can update it like that. She's asked Sa'eed and he agreed that she should do it, he said 'Anything for her' and she literally swooned. The guy is irrevocably in love with her best friend, it's palpable in his eyes anyway. It seems like only her best friend is blind to his feelings after all.

The bags underneath them, the hollowness deep inside his dark eyes, longing gazes around the place, aimless walks during the nights. He tend to rub the heels of his palms against his chest, she found him doing that earlier when they walked in after Nafisa invited them inside and they had to greet him as he was sitting in the living room downstairs the exact sofa Suhayr always sits on. His arms are really slack, the man's movement lack energy and zeal, it lacks the royalty and powerful moves he had before. He is like a living corpse waiting for his time to come and that is only because Suhayr isn't there to keep him on his toes all the time.

If only Suhayr is there at that time, life wouldn't be so harsh on him. He can't believe how fast he's fallen in love with her when she has never done anything good for him. She only helps in ruining his important deals, giving him the most painful headaches, taking him to jail, launching his first car before he does and then saying she regretted their beautiful night together. The love he has for her literally outshone everything bad that people are saying about her in the palace, his mother specifically who thinks the woman left him for good. He doesn't even know how she knows about her leaving him, he never told her and his grandparents won't.

"Bro, you need to come out of that office and enjoy the day with us." His two brothers walked into his office unannounced, he can't even reprimand Jonathan for that. He does not have the energy to talk unnecessarily like that.

"I know right. Your life is so boring without our beloved Sumara, you should live a little. She won't want to see you like this." Adam sat down on one of the chairs in front of him, his legs moving to drop themselves on his table but a glare from him stopped his movement and he sheepishly put it back down to the floor, where they should be.

Tahir, Sulaiman, Mu'adh, Shaheed and his friend Rashid are all inside his office looking fresh and happy unlike his gloomy self. Even if he wants to look happy for them, he can't do that knowing he is not. He only stared at them one after the other as they round his office looking for places to sit down. There is something he wants to do but being the businessman he is, he keeps quite and just stare at them randomly. He could only wish to be so merry as they are, he can't see himself being like that anytime soon. Not until Suhayr comes back to him.

Is this going to be his life if Suhayr doesn't come back to him? No, she is going to have to come back to him whether she likes it or not, he won't let her stay away from him for much longer, he is just waiting for time before he starts searching for her in every nook and cranny of the world. There is no use of his power and money if he can't use them to good use such as this. Looking for Suhayr is his top priority now, he needs her more then he needs oxygen, not exaggerated at all.

"There is this new restaurant opened downtown, let's go catch cruise." Rashid commented from the couch by the end of the room. His words were quite like always.

Rashid Salihu has been his friend since highschool and even though they didn't go to the same college, they always hang out together when he comes back. The guy works in his company as the chief operating officer, the COO and he is proud of him always. He got married two years ago and has one beautiful baby girl that always crawl to his lap whenever he visits them often when Rashid decided to bring her with him to the office. He married one of their highschool mates, peoples talked a lot then!

That was when Sa'eed lost hope in humanity. What is the great deal about marrying your classmate? What is the problem if he decided to get married to his mate? People don't understand that love could surpass anything, not even the age or status matters. Just look at him and Suhayr, they are far polar opposites that no one would think will ever attract but they did. The attraction between them is something he has never experienced his whole life and even if his life comes to an end now, he is glad to have felt something like that with Suhayr, it is worth it.

As soon as he sees her, he is going to make sure she takes back her words of saying their night together is a terrible mistake. That is his main goal as soon as he sees her. She can't make him have restless nights thinking about where he has gone wrong that day with her. He was the most gentlest, he wasn't crude nor violent to her and if he could remember clearly, he did nothing without her permission. She gave him the go ahead for everything that happened!

"I need help." When he couldn't take the inner battle anymore, his words spurt out like a faucet turned to it's last stage and it can't keep the water inside with such force gripping it's guts. That is how he felt!

"Whoa! You are asking for help?! Can someone record this so we can blackmail him in future, he just asked for help!" Tahir exaggerated while bouncing in the sofa like a kid watching his favorite show. Even being the youngest amongst the crowd, he makes sure to feel among all the time.

"I think that is a great idea, Shaheed do that. This is a moment worth remembering in million years to come." Sulaiman's widen his eyes with a loud guffaw that boomed around the walls of his office. On normal basis, Sulaiman's head would've been basically bouncing on the floor along with his neck for teasing him like that but right then, he cannot do anything to the foolish guy.

"But seriously, what help are you asking for?" Mu'adh being the good friend questioned, tuning down all their stupid talks to get to the point. He knew his friend has been down, those ugly bags are hanging way too low underneath his eyes. For the last few days, he didn't get to talk to him heart to heart and since he is opening up now, he had do anything for him.

"Please, help me find her. I will give you anything and everything you need but you need to help me search for her." He begged, his words beseeching to the heartless ears that don't bleed. His eyes are imploring, requesting and demanding at the same time. They have no other choice with eyes like that, they have to do it for him, that is what they have been waiting for.

For him to ask for help.

"We will help you find her." It was a promise all of them took somberly, he is very sure he was going to find his wife very soon. He is going to make sure he punishes her to the extent where she can't leave him again ever!

N'DJAMENA, CHAD.

Suhayr sighed as she roll around on the hotel bed thinking about what she has been through for the past thirteen days after leaving the palace and her husband. She hates being alone after getting used to having people around her all the time be it the maids, her friend, sister in-law, brothers in-law and those vermins. She missed them all, but she always consoles herself that it is for the best she stays hidden from them and let them lead a perfect life not filled with so many mischiefs that could give them a splitting headache. They won't miss her much, especially her mother in law who is probably dancing her ass off.

What is Sa'eed doing now?

She will keep asking herself on her bed as she roll and roll without any ambition of what to do next. She thought she won't spend so many days there but after coming back, she didn't want to leave. No one saw her in that country again, she hid herself in the hotel room not to cause much attention for herself. Whenever she goes out which happened only once because she wants to stroll, she closed her face tightly and roam around the familiar streets. She felt nostalgic when she thought she won't ever miss her country, she did miss it and the people in it.

She's seen Sa'eed's school too, the process is really fast making her proud of him even without his presence. The school stood tall, it's like four storey but she is not sure yet since time is still moving faster than she thought. Even though she didn't get the money from him after selling the apartment and her office, she felt happy and delighted. She didn't think about the money she would've gotten from him and instead felt like she could help him in some way. She goes around the place from time to time and come back just to make sure everything is going smoothly in his absence.

She sighed in annoyance and left the bed to get dressed and go get something or eat something nice for herself. She wanted to call up Hakim since he is the only she knows that will be quick to come to her after finding out she is in Chad but she refrained from doing so. Her thoughts aren't exactly in building their relationship again so she needs to get her shit together and get a life. After meeting one man, she don't have any direction again in her life like she'd done when Sa'ad's love blinded her from the outer world. She needs to move on and see life from another perspective.

Her phone rang before she could leave the bed instantly taking her heart out of her ribcage because she is damn sure no one has her new number. She only use it to order some pizza if she gets too hungry to go down the hotel's restaurant to eat then who on earth is calling her? The pizza places can't possibly call her just like that, the hotel would've called her telecom if they wanted to talk to her which means none of them is calling. Someone different is calling her and she is afraid to pick it up.

"H-hello?" Her voice shook, the number is unknown but she wants to know who on earth is calling her. Is it stupid for her to wish it was Sa'eed? Because that is what gave her the zeal to answer that phone call, it might be the lead to her happily ever after.

She is tired of being alone in a hotel room knowing she has a marriage on her head. She's tired from the heavy sighs, talking to her own self, the sullenness, brimmed eyes filled with tears. She didn't get to cry for her mother's death neither did she let herself cry for leaving her husband, she didn't let those traitorous tears fall no matter how many times they brimmed.

"Hi, baby sis!" The person said and she knew who it was, Muhammad Aqeeb is the one on phone with her. The disappointment surged through her veins like molten lava creating a fathomless inferno in her chest, she wanted it to be Sa'eed!

"Aqeeb." The word isn't a question and she is sure he hears the disappointment in her voice as she call his name.

"Yes, that's me. Where have you been? You left the country without goodbye leaving your husband here to loathe himself?" That man is straight forward, she could already see it. This is good for what he is about to see and endure in future, he needs the straightforwardness to lead a vast kingdom.

"Where did you get my number from?" She questioned instead, her eyes darting around the room as though someone is looking at her. Her chest felt heavy, if he gets her number now, he sure as hell will know where she is soon. Sooner than she wants him to so she needs to leave, immediately!

"It is not that difficult to find, little sister. And I also know where you are, don't think about running away. If I wanted to come see you, I would've done that sooner but I didn't. My question here is, why are you doing this to your husband? Do you know how crazy he was when he found out that you ran away?" His question lingered in the air, she does not have answer to that. Her reasons are stupid, even to her own head that formed it now.

He didn't tell her how their father almost lost it too when he gets to know what she did. He was thinking about making it up to her before they leave the country but she left just like his wife did, the same day. Many things happened but losing both his wife and daughter at the same day was the last straw for him to have a cardiac arrest.

"That is not..." And the phone went off due to lack of charge, she sighed in excitement. She won't have to deal with a possessive older brother just when she is thinking about doing something else.

The man does know where she is, she needs to leave soon. Even if he keeps finding out about her, she will keep on running too.

With that determination, she stood up and arrange her luggage back in her colossal trolley. She does not have time to waste anymore, she needs to get moving before he made his own move. Even though she wants Sa'eed to come find her, she also wants to leave him to give him the best life. Just few more weeks and he will be over her like she wasn't there at all. That is what happened with Najaah too. He forgot about the woman he loved his whole life in just a month and weeks, hers won't take that long. Probably just few days and he will be okay like she didn't grace his life with her troubled self.

She changed into mulberry cargo pants, they are comfortable enough for her to move around till she leaves the country. She is going to place where everyone won't know, place like Canada, Bulgaria and Italy, no one will notice. A lipstick plunging neckline so what she wore next after removing the vest from her body. She took a single breasted trench designer coat that is probably from Dune because the tag is there and she would like to think that is what she is wearing. Golden gladiators are clasped around her feet with matching backpack to put her money and other necessities.

Off to Bulgaria!

That is before her way is blocked by many, lots of them and they only want to do one thing, kill her, old revenge!
