Chapter 48: Chapter 48

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA.

"I love you, baby." Zara kissed Mika'il's lips again while panting hard from another escapade of their love making which has been happening for a long time now. She enjoys being in the man's arms everyday knowing he is her man and hers alone.

"I love you too." He whispered and lie down on his back staring at the ceiling like a man that has no purpose in life because he doesn't. He does not work neither does Zara, she wants them to spend the first year of their life with no work stress or anything and he agrees because he was sure he's loved her before he married her. He vowed to never marry if not for love and his parents won't set him for arranged, she also told him how much in love they were ever since they met.

His parents, tears leaked at the sides of his eyes at the thought of them, they are dead and left him alone in this world. His siblings are also dead, he can't believe he got married to such vile woman who killed his whole family for money and if not for his second wife who was quick to outwit her, he was sure he would've been dead a very long time ago now. He would want to see the photo of her but his wife thinks that won't be a good idea because his memories of his parents death will revive and she won't be able to console him. She said he won't be able to handle the fact that he remembered how they died so he agreed and decided not to see, it's for the best.

It's been three months already since they left Nigeria and so far, everything has been perfect in their lives, like there was never any problem to begin with. She showered him with so much love and care that he sometimes feel like a baby. There was never a boring moment with her, they make sure to make most of their days with each other getting to know one another like on first dates only that they end up in a heavy love making session at the end of the day, he enjoys his time with her. They also go to gym together every evening to make the days less boring, he appreciates her effort a lot.

He's got a few Korean friends that can speak good fluent English to help him get through and he has also started learning Korean language, it was hard but he is getting there. He start getting from the small words as water, take, no, yes and so on, he will soon become an expert. There is nothing he wants to do now other than start working as the pilot he is since he found out he has not forgotten anything about his work, they are all fresh in his head. He's asked one of his friends about it there in South Korea and he told him he was going to undergo a few tests whenever he decides to start working so he has been anticipating when his wife will let this honeymoon phase go.

Hopefully, that will be very soon, he has had enough of the honeymoon.

"I've been feeling a bit under the weather so I'll consult a doctor tomorrow, will you join me?" She questioned, her finger trailing down his hairy chest while she stare at his lips with nothing but desire. He is the man but she has the most of the stamina, she is always ready to go down and he don't understand how that happens. She is never shy to say what she wants, he likes that a little because he don't want to keep making wring decisions with gestures.

"What's wrong?" He furrowed his brow acting all concerned, he is really feeling somehow with her but she has never been sick so he feels weird now.

"Maybe in pregnant?" She beamed at him, her eyes searching his to see whether he is happy about the matter and he looks really excited about it. His eyes glowed, he caressed her back adoringly then he whispered.

"I'd be the happiest husband and father alive, I would love to meet our children soon. I hope you are pregnant." He kissed her head and Zara swooned, she snuggle deeper into his arms feeling happy. She wouldn't have gotten anything the Mika'il before except forced happiness of being a father.

"I hope I'm pregnant too." She whispered and closed her eyes, knowing what she has done is finally worth it now. Her hard work is paying off fully, she has done that for them and now everything is back in place.

Bushra is out of the photo now and everything is now on her head, everything is now under Zara Yakasai like she has always wished even before she married him. She knew right from when she found out he was married that she was going to oust Bushra out of Mika'il's life for good when the time is right but she didn't know she was going to work on everything so fast and easily. The drugs she's fed Mika'il at first didn't work but then like a miracle, it started kicking in at the right time her life straightened out. The murder or fake murder worked out perfectly to her plan where the drug decided to grace it's presence, she was happy about that.

Had she not removed Bushra from their lived, she won't have the peace and happiness she has now but right then, she could only thank Allah for giving her the gift of brains to execute her plot like that. Her father didn't freeze her account and doesn't know she was alive but she has packed enough money she can live in a foreign place for the rest of her life which is why she doesn't want Mika'il to work. If he goes out a lot, there might be chances that someone will remind him of his past and she don't want that. She's gone far to come back, never again.

If she is really pregnant right now, she is more than elated though mad that she wasn't pregnant since. She's been married to Mika'il for five to six months already and she just felt the pregnancy knocking on her door, well, she is excited. Seeing the happiness in Mika'il's eyes made her more happy too about the fact and she hopes she is really pregnant, she can't afford being a barren. If she could, she wants to give birth to quadruplets but she can't, they both don't have it in their genes. She can manage falling pregnant each year though, she wants to make sure that Mika'il is tightened around her like a worm.

Nothing much planned but very much could be planned, she is ready to do anything and everything for him.

"I'm I pregnant?" She asked the doctor for the nth time who only smiled at them for a little while but continue to read the test but that smile gave the two of them hope. Hope that there is a human being growing inside her womb, woohoo!

"You are pregnant, Mrs. Mika'il and you are six weeks along." She smiled at the African couple who grinned back at her and then hugged each other like she's seen lots of couple doing. She loves her line of job for she gets to see so many happy faces more than the gloomy ones, just like the ones in front of her.

"I'm pregnant!" She jumped in Mika'il's arms with a wide grin that could put a Cheshire cat to shame. She can't believe it, after so many months and sleepless nights of thinking she won't be able to give birth. She would've lost it had that was the case, she wouldn't be able to stomach the harsh reality.

"I heard and I'm so happy." He caressed her stomach gently with his hand before they bid the gynecologist adieu. They walk hand in hand back to their apartment as it is just at the walking distance. She didn't want to take the cab because she finds it more romantic for them to talk while walking back home, she was ecstatic.

"Just make sure you go back to her and lull her into your den making her think you are a changed person. I know her parents will soon allow suitors to start coming to her, be amongst the first ones so you can get her tied to you. If you don't make her your wife in three months, I'm going to take back my money and make you pay for it." Zara mumbled into the phone while staring at the door so Mika'il don't barge inside. He didn't want to leave her alone because she is now pregnant and needs to be taken cared for all the time, she bathed in the attention.

"Yes, I will do as you say. But, you have to pay me for getting all the things that need to impress her again. Her brothers are soldiers and not just mere soldiers, two of then are generals and the other one is a major so getting into that home is a risk without backup." The other person mumbled back into the phone and sounds like he is busy in the streets, like always. She wonder how he manage to be in the same past as Bushra, the girl is timid while this drunkard is what he is.

"I will send everything to you but make sure you do what you are asked to. I don't want to hear stories." She hung up the phone and sigh only to be startled when Mika'il walked in, his brows furrowed in question.

"What were you talking about? You sounded so tensed about something." He gave her a bowl filled with soup he learnt how to make fees months ago and does that for then almost everyday. The guy is one romantic fella, she wouldn't have asked for a better husband.

"Oh, Chin was worried about her husband again and she got me all tensed up again. You know how Lim can be, she don't know how to handle him anymore." She lied straight through her teeth, her lips spreading into a saccharine smile to take his mind off the matter.

Chin is one of her Korean friends who married a drunkard and the man always makes her worry and on edge. Their marriage was a love one but he lost his job and his family disowned him because of her so he also lost his sanity. Though he is always drunk, he is never one to raise his hand at his wife and if he is in a good mood, he is the best husband in the world and Zara is always proud of him when he is sober. And now, she don't even know what is going on with them, she just had to lie.

"That is not good for a pregnant lady, don't do that again." He whispered beside her, she smiled with so much love. She feels like her heart will burst out from her chest any moment now, the man beside her is the man of her dreams. She vowed to not make a mistake of marrying a husband and she doesn't regret ruining Mika'il's marriage for their happiness.

"I won't, baby." She pecked his lips before she took the spoon and start to feed herself. Him making that for her is enough but she wanted him to feed her with his hand. Hmm, with time, he will learn to be comfortable and do all those things to her or when her belly is all grown. She is definitely going to fake everything then, he will have no choice but do as he was told. That was her plan if she hadn't removed Amani, the woman should be lucky they won't be doing it in front of her.

"My advice, just let fate take it's turn because too much fight could lead to failure sometimes." Mia told her from the sofa she was sitting inside her home, where three women are sitting close to naked.

Zara decided to leave their home and spend sometime with the two friends she got during her stay in Korea so she can tell them about her next plan. When she told them everything about how she got Mika'il, they supported her like the real friends they were. They told her that she did the right thing because if you ever let go of someone you love, you can never get that opportunity again your whole life. She was happy and excited knowing there are people by her side who don't think what she did was absurd and stupid. Some people she's told about this think she was crazy and obsessive bitch even though she turned the story that she wasn't the one but her friend, she felt offended.

And now the two ladies are giving her advice on what to do next about her life. Mika'il is tightly leashed around her without a doubt, she is pregnant with his baby and she reign his life a an empress to the empire, a leader.

"No, I think you should go with the initial plan of sending her ex back to her life acting like a nice man willing to take leftovers. If she doesn't get married soon, you might as well be always paranoid not knowing who will happen if he leaves here or regains his memory. But since in your tradition the men do the divorce, I fully support that you should get her married to that ex immediately." Jungrui argued being the wicked one she is with the most twisted but best plans ever.

While Jungrui is a Chinese woman who came from penury but got to meet Mia and became her friend and also maid. When their bond tightened, Mia freed her from all the responsibilities and they became housemates. Both of them are working in a renowned hotel that pays well and ensure they can pay their rent on time monthly unlike Zara who has already paid for a year and had it been she was not thinking about changing location in some time, she would have paid for more than a year so for the time being, that should be enough for them.

Mia is American who left her parents because they were wrapped in debt due to their gambles and drug use, not wanting to be shambled in their life, she left then for good with the little money she has. The world can be cruel and she is sure the people owing her parents will capture her next if she stays so she took the safe side and ran to Seoul three years ago. She was freely sharing her stories with them since each and every one of them is open to one another like they promised.

"That makes sense too." Mia nodded, her hand kneading the side of her lingerie which she always wears to sleep but in that case, she was with a man the night before for another one night stands of hers.

"Who were you girls with yesterday?" Zara played with her brows wanting to change the topic. She don't want Bushra to be marring and ruling her life even though they are miles and oceans away from one another, she won't let her win this time when she already have the upper hand and Mika'il beside her.

"Oh, some rich man I met in this bar, Zar. He was loaded and left wad cash and cream, I want him again." Mia made a naughty face showing her tongue piercing and the green tattoo around her neck became more evident.

"Gosh, you girls are dirty. What about you, Grui?" Zara laugher, she finds them funny when they do things to men freely while she is stuck to one man. She also gets the thrill that she wants to try some other men sometime in future whenever she sees the videos of the girls with their men, they are really perverts to take videos like that but Zara don't mind watching, it actually turns her on and she goes to Mika'il to satisfy her. She only had three men her whole life, Fuzail, Mika'il and her father's best friend who took her virginity.

"I think he is the owner of the bar, he left his card so I'm going back there later. You should join us and have fun sometime pregnant lady, some men prefer them like you." Jungrui winked, her eyes moving to Zara's visible nipples since she was also wearing her silky nightwear to walk few doors down to their apartment from theirs early in the morning.

"I know right." Mia beamed, giving her another invitation, a really tempting one.

"..." Zara..
