Loved by My Archenemy

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Asad

I had honestly thought she would open up to me, maybe if I tell her I had seen the woman too she would eventually open up. “uhmm why did you ask? Is there something you want to tell me?” she said looking at everything else but me, why is she unsettled? “Oh no”. I couldn't stand the conversation anymore, I opened my mouth to talk but I closed it right back, ‘what are you doing? You can't open up about this to her... She's the enemy’ yes right! I can't. “Uhmm, actually, I need to go,” I said as I pretended to check my phone. Suddenly I got a weird feeling in my gut, I can't be here. “What why?” she wailed. I ran my hand through my hair and took a deep breath “I just got a texted from Zev, he is available and waiting for me at the polo court”. Her face fell, “but... But you said you will stay for lunch” “I’m sorry, I I can't anymore” I replied, trying to stop myself from staying, I don't understand why it hurts to see her sulking, I should be furious that she chose to lie to me but I can't.

After a long pause, I walked over to my car and made my way out of the castle, on my way out, I glanced at the rearview mirror, and there she was standing and watching my car disappear out of sight like a sad puppy left in the rain. ‘Keep going Asad, don't go back’. I guess I need Aries a little more than he needs me, if he wasn't stopping me, I would have ditched hanging out with Zev.

I know I shouldn't feel bad for walking out on her like that but I couldn't help my feelings. I guess having her lie to my face was the sign I needed to get my head in the game. ‘This is not some hot romantic story Asad, this is revenge!’. I get it aries, but I can't help the way I feel right now.

I picked up my phone from the phone holder and left a text for Zev. *hey! Sorry, I'm running late! Send your location. And just before I put my phone back he replied *sure! I was beginning to think Zoya held you with her delicious meals, it's difficult to get out of that one *wink*. *Zev has sent his location to you. Great! Why did I bail on good food!

Asad’s pov end.

Yara

I watched as he drove out of the house, longing for him to push the brakes and come running back. I wish he would come back with his annoying smirks and raised eyebrow to say something as stupid and cheesy as “you thought it would be that easy to get rid of me?”. what is wrong with me? Just one kiss doesn't just make us a thing. But Athena, I don't understand my sudden feeling to go after him and tell him I didn't want him to go. But I can't force him to stay, If Asad really wants to leave, then maybe I should let him leave.

“Hey, where's your friend? I thought we were having lunch together” I heard mom say as I made my way to the stairs sobbing and hiding my face in my palms. “Yara? Yara?” she called out as I ran up to my room. On getting to my room, I sank into my bed, sinking in my bed and sad is now turning into a new normal.

I don't understand why I'm crying, Athena. Why do I feel like something that might have been so good and glorious ended already? Why do I feel like I lost him? I don't understand why he overreacted like that. So what I concealed the truth? I didn't want to look like a freak. I can't handle him looking at me like that, like a freak. Should I Apologize? But why do I need to apologize for seeing what I saw and choosing not to talk about it? Why would I need to apologize for not wanting to be laughed at anymore? I can't keep asking myself these questions, I can't keep pondering about Asad. I need to figure out who she is and why she said what she said... But how?

Yara’s pov end

Yara lay there asking herself questions about her encounter with the mystery woman, and how it is possible that she appeared only to her Until a little familiar knock came on her door. “Come in Zara,” Yara said with a sigh of relief as she wiped away the tears on her face and turned her body around to face the wall. “Yara!” Zara said excitedly as she opened the door and made her way to the middle of the room, thank God she's happy today Yara thought. “Yara, Yara Yara!!!!” “Okay, why are we jumpy today?” Yara replied looking at Zara with so much suspicion but yet with a wide kind smile. “You won't believe what happened!” “well, not until you tell me.” Yara is now seated on her bed and Zara had stopped jumping around. at least visibly. “She spoke to me,” she said with a huge grin. Yara looked at little Zara still clueless. There was a long pause which included Zara’s very wide grins and little squeaky sounds that came from her mouth. “OH MY GOD! your wolf!” Yara screamed with so much enthusiasm! “ yes!” Zara replied as she went in to hug Yara. “When? How? Where did this happen?”Yara asked excited at Zara’s little success. “Like now! at the gardens! I kept practicing what you thought me”... “Finding inner peace and breathing,” they both said in excitement. “And just when I least expected it, she called out her name, sage” Yara’s face lit up, she held Zara tighter to her chest. “I’m so proud of you,” she whispered. Zara held on to her with her eyes closed and content written all over her face. “I’m glad I have you Yara, thank you for believing in me when I couldn't even do so for myself.” Yara felt a tear coming down her cheek. She had been feeling a little down after the incident with Asad, but, Zara’s words melted her heart.
