My Billionaire Wife

ABRAR’S POV

he showed no sign of backing down instead he only scoffed at my breath not seeming to take me seriously.

“You are nothing compared to me, you are just a thrash Zoya used to replace me and just like she picked you up I will make sure she disposes of you just as quickly” he retorted.

Walking past me and bumping into my shoulder hard.

I can’t believe that that good-for-nothing thought he could go up against me in this war. He better be prepared because he just crossed the line.

“So is he the ex?” Kaif asked, suddenly appearing before me with a snack in his mouth.

“Yes he is, and for gosh sake why are you always eating done you get tired are you a glutton or something?” I complained as I was feeling frustrated and he just happened to be on the receiving end of it.

“Well I am hungry and ingot the snack for free. Alia from PR gave it to me, I feel like maybe she might be into me,” he said with a smile.

“Whatever man, you think everyone is into you” I retorted.

“Well aren’t they” he said with a smug expression on his face. Gosh, I wanted to punch that look on his face so bad I was not in the mood for his testing and childish behavior right now.

“Okay enough about me, before you punch me in the face because you do not look too excited. What did the ex say?” He still asked munching his snack.

“He basically just told me that he was going to get rid of me and I was a thrash. I can’t believe that coward that fool who left a girl stranded in a street felt like he dared to talk back at me and declare himself my rival” I said, angrily as I could feel incredibly hot inside due to anger.

“Calm your horses, young man, nobody is going to push you away, come on, you are Abrar the one and only you don’t have to let that good-for-nothing word affect you,” Kaif said trying to lighten up my mood, to be honest, I was not feeling any better.

“And the fact that he is always close to Zoya does not help matters,” Kaif Whispered.

“That was super annoying, as well because I confronted Zoya about this guy and she told me he was nothing if not for the fact that I connected the dots and discovered that yes indeed he could be her ex and actually confronted him I would have no idea and would have continued to be played,” I said.

“Keep your voice down, do you want everyone in the office to hear you?” Kaif scolded, looking around to make sure nobody was around to hear me venting. “And is it not good news if she reconciles with her boyfriend you wouldn’t need to be involved in this whole relationship facade with her anymore” he added.

“Anyone but him, I spoke to him and he just rubbed me the wrong way. I know he is up to something, people like him are no good and I am going to make sure I send him out of Zoya’s life as well as this company” I stated.

“And how do you intend to do that?” Kaif asked with a raised brow as he dusted off his hands and wrapped up the snack wrapper and threw it into the nearest bin.

“I don’t know but I will look for a way and of course with your help,” I said.

“What? My help? No no no, do not involve me in your lover’s quarrel. I have a lot on my plate. I just want a carefree life without problem” he objected.

“Well too bad for you, you are my only friend so yes you are going to help me,” I stated.

“This is bad, I don’t know why you are so bothered by Zoya. Don’t tell me you are starting to catch feelings for her?” He asked, squinting his eyes as he stared at me with suspicion.

His words surprised me as I knew I had no feelings for Zoya whatsoever. I might feel protective over her. That is because I knew within her hard exterior is a very soft emotionally driven person who is actually very weak. She hates sharing her problems and well yeah I just want to help her for a short period that’s all.

“What? That’s just absurd I do not have such feelings” I claimed as I walked out of the balcony.

“Well if you say so,” he replied. “So will you help me or not?” I asked him.

Kaif was really good with relationships and well-ending relationships. He once broke up a girl’s engagement so he could only date the girl for a month just because he was attracted to the girl.

If he could break the engagement of two people who loved themselves I am sure he could string up a plan to exterminate Anas from our lives.

“It seems like I do not have a choice anyway so yes I am your guy,” he said not so enthusiastically as we walked back to our desks.

I looked over at Zoya’s office to see he focused on a pile of folders on her desk. She looked really busy. Maybe I should make her a cup of coffee to cheer her up. She really does like my coffee from what I have observed.

I walked over to the lunch room and quickly put on the coffee machine.

I brewed the coffee delicately so it would taste heavenly just the way she liked it.

And just as I was done making it Nikhat walked her sharp perfume hitting my senses taking over the scent of the well brewed coffee.

“Abrar here you are, I was looking for you,” she said” Is that coffee?” She asked as she walked closer and looked at it.

“Uhmm, yes” I replied. “Oh my gosh, it has been so long since I drank your coffee I really miss the taste,” she said looking at me, but I had no idea how to react so I nodded my head in response.

“Would you mind if I had a taste? I am really craving some coffee” she asked, batting her eyes at me as she stared at me with a pleasing look.

I had no idea what to do, I had specifically made the coffee for Zoya and now I don’t know how to tell Nikhat no.

“Sure you can,” I said, offering her the cup of coffee I had just made with pure devotion.

“Oh thank you,” she said as she picked up the cup. “It smells so good” she complimented her eyes wide with excitement.

She took a sip and her eyes widened even further. “Oh my gosh, Abrar had no idea coffee could taste this good, it looks like you polished your skill because this tastes heavenly” she complimented.

“Oh! Thank you” I said husband Zoya walked into the room practically throwing daggers at me with her death glare.

“Oh good day Miss Zoya” Nikhat greeted Zoya acknowledging her presence.

“I smelled something nice and thought I should come check it out, did you brew that coffee, Miss Nikhat?” Zoya asked

“No I did not, I am not that skilled. Abrar here brewed this wonderful coffee and it tastes so good” she complimented again, suddenly squeezing my biceps, surprising me.

I watched as Zoya’s eyes darted to my arm which was being held by Nikhat as I stylishly released my arm from Nikhat’s grip.

“I see,” she replied in a chilling tone.

“Would you like some? I am sure Abrar can make another cup. Can’t you Abrar?” Nikhat asked.

“No need, I will just grab some snacks,” Zoya said before I could reply. She grabbed a packet of cookies along with an energy drink from the fridge and walked out.

“Thank you so much for the coffee Abrar” Nikhat greeted.

“There is no issue at all” I replied but my thoughts were occupied with Zoya’s expression. She looked so disappointed.

” And oh! Abrar I don’t know if it is possible for you to go with me to the construction field Kaiser told me to take one I am more comfortable with and since I am new to the company and well you are the only one I can speak freely with I thought I should ask you and from my knowledge while making my research I heart you were quite knowledgeable about construction and I thought you would be the perfect Partner” she asked.

My first thought was to reject her as I did not want to be in a situation where I would spend a lot of time with her with just the both of us but my plans were cut short when Kaiser walked into the room and apparently, he heard Nikhat asking for my help.

“Why don’t you just escort her Abrar, nothing much is going on in the office, and besides isn’t being in the field your specialty” he said, slightly mocking me.

Trapped between the two of them and not seeing a way out I finally agreed.

“Okay I will go with you” I replied.

“Good, I will quickly grab my bag so we can get going,” she said, finishing up her coffee and washing the cup, walking off to grab her bag.

I walked to my desk and cleared everything up as I might have to go home from the construction site.

I grabbed my suitcase and looked over at Zoya’s office and noticed she had her blindfold down which made it impossible for me to see her.

“Going somewhere, man?” Kaif asked as he approached my desk.

“Yes, going to a site,” I replied.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“A site? With who?” He asked looking confused and just like she knew when to make an entrance Nikhat appeared beside Nikhat with a huge smile on her face. “With me,” she said.

Kaif looked surprised by this news as his eyes darted from mine to hers.

“Can we get going?” She asked.

“Sure,” I replied. “See you, man,” I said parting Kaif on the back as we walked out of the office and made our way to the site.

I made sure to remain as professional as possible. I wanted to forget my past with Nikhat, I just did not want to think about it at all.

It was almost dark when we were finally done with our task at the site. I was extremely exhausted and I realized my phone had been switched off all day.

“Gosh I am so famished,” Nikhat said as we walked down the street.

There was no taxi nearby and I was just eager to get him as I was also very hungry.

It then occurred to me I had not eaten anything since my morning breakfast.

“Let’s get something to eat, ” Nikhat offered as we drew close to a shop that sold food.

“I am not hungry” I lied but my stomach chose to betray me as it rumbled loudly.

“Well your tummy objects to that,” she said with a laugh as she skipped excitedly to the store.

We ordered some dishes and I quickly dug in as they tasted delicious.

“This is so nice, ” Nikhat cooed as she dug into her meal. And I nodded my head in agreement.

“So how have you been Abrar?” She asked.

“Good and you” I replied, trying not to go into details.

“Good I will say, just you know I got divorced,” she said, I had suspicions that she might be divorced but I never asked her as I felt it was too personal.

An awkward silence settled between us as I did not know how to respond to her revelation. “I…I am so sorry” I replied.

“No need for all that, it’s been quite some time, and I have moved on from it. You are married?” She asked.

“Yes, recently did that” I replied, trying to finish up my meal as fast as possible to quickly leave this place.

“Congratulations, I just realized I haven’t congratulated you,” she said.

“Thank you,” I said, finishing up my meal.

“Woah, done already?” she asked, looking at my now empty plate.

“Yes,” I responded. I quickly paid for both our meals, she was still eating and had quite a long way to go to finish her meal.

“I will get going now I need to get back home,” I said, excusing myself and walking away leaving her alone at the store.

It was now dark when I got home but Zoya was not back yet I brought out my phone from my bag to call her and noticed it was switched off.

I powered it up quickly and noticed I had more than ten miss calls from Zoya.

I instantly became worried as I thought something had happened to her, I opened the text message she sent me and I quickly realized I had messed up.

I was supposed to go to her family Josie with her today and I forgot. Just as I finished reading her text she walked into the house and from the expression on her face I knew she was not happy at all.

I knew it was about to be a long night.
