Sauf's POV.

Back then, I was a loving, strong and quite a family girl. I was very much a halal girl. I never cared about worldly things, I believed in finding my prince charming and settling down to my architectural firm. I hoped of having children of my won, provide for my family when they're old and give back to the society.

But, I changed drastically. I wasn't me anymore. Not in a negative way though.

Five years ago, I established my own Clothing and Fashion Line, Va Va Vogue. Instead of setting it up in Leicester, I set it up in the heart of the main central London. I wanted to leave everything behind and start afresh. I sold the house I had and where I started seeing from scratch. I and my cousin Sara, moved to Central London together to start a whole life afresh with no potholes.

Looking back, I'd say I'm not the same Sauf anymore, or rather Reem. Yes! I changed my name to Reem Zain.
I knew all the people I had left behind would try looming for me, especially Ammar. Because I heard something about him divorcing Basma but I didn't know the exact story. I also heard from someone that he was getting married again.

He doesn't have anything more to do other than get married. Ugh!

I changed my name, my number, profile and my whole identity. I changed myself completely into an independent, strong, ambitious, no-nonsense woman. I achieved so much in just a space of five years. I was really happy with the progress I'd made. In two weeks time it's going to be the 5th anniversary of my company. And it was going to be the talk of the town.

After having my usual morning coffee, I wore my Michael Kors wrist watch and picked up my Charles and Keith Handbag. I adjusted my custom made abaya and stepped out to my Ford jeep.
The driver never drove me to the office or from the office. He only drove me on business related matters where I had to go somewhere in town. I preferred to drive my self, I believed it showed more charisma.

I called Sara to confirm whether today was the day different job seekers would be coming in for job interviews and she said yes.

I arrived the office and as usual, everyone got up to greet me. My bottle of water was brought immediately my butt touch my sit.

As different youngsters strolled in an out of my office, all rejected, I spinner my chair, backing the
settled for my laptop to order some Jimmy Choos online.

"May I come in Ma'am?" A familiar male voice called out.

"Come in!" I replied in a firm and confident voice not bothering to spin back around.

I heard his footsteps come closer and that was when I decided to spin my chair and face him.

Looking at the man made my eyes pop out widely.

What?!!!!! No! I didn't see this coming. I didn't wish to see the man I hated so much once again in my life. I don't want to go back Into the life I had left behind. He can't be here but I have to be step g and not let him affect my present. After all I've changed my identity. Ammar won't have a chance with me anymore.

"You may sit," I ordered casually.

I noticed the shock on his face as he pulled a chair to sit.

Surprised eh? You'll see a lot coming your way Mr. Ammar.

I decided to act cool and go ahead with the interview in a professional manner.

You'll see what awaits you...
I thought.

Ammar's POV.

"You may sit,"

Sauf Walid cannot be here. She cannot be sitting in front of me. No! Why am I saying no. I sat there, shocked, startled, flabbergasted...just name it. She had a smirk on her face which I comprehend the meaning.

Yes! She's here, finally, I've had the chance to see the love of my life once again. Life has given me a second chance.

Alhamdulillah Ya Allah.

"Sauf?" I muttered but she placed her hand forward which signified 'Stop'.

"Before anything, you address me with a 'miss'. And Yes, I'm not Sauf, I'm Reem Zain. Okay?"

I was shocked, Reem? But this is the face of my love. She must be joking.

"But you-"

"Give me your educational background," she quickly cut me short. I decided to just abide because I figured what Fahd had told me out there was really true. She really is tough but why is she behaving like this? Or is it her doppelganger?

"Here it is," I mumbled.

She stared at me with a smirk still on my face.

What sort of woman is She? Is she really Sauf?

I watched her as she went through my files/CV.

She asked me a few questions about my past experiences and jobs and I told her how I once owned a business empire.

Why is she asking all this when she knows everything very well? What's happening?

"Why do you need this job?"

"I need it to establish myself once again. I've moved here to-"

"I only asked why you needed the job not why you moved here. That's not my business."

"Well, looking at your CV and listening to your answers. Erh...I think you're hired. I employ you in the planning and production department."

"Thank you ma'am."

"Your job is mainly at the production of different collections according to my approval of designs with the highest quality fabrics and most expensive accessories. If there's an event, your department will handle it as well, you can start tomorrow. I hate late comers!"

"Okay," she used her fingers to signal me to leave and I did.

Woah! She speaks so fluently and confidently. She isn't anything near Sauf. But what is she is really Sauf and has just changed completely?

Ya Allah show me the way Please.

Tadahh!!!!!! A surprise.
This really is going to be a bumpy ride I tell you. Stay time for more amazing chapters.
