The Rare Diamond

Chapter 16

Karim Ayad's POV

I stared at the beautiful girl who was laughing with my siblings. Her laugh was so angelic. She was a goddess so enchanting and ethereal. Her grey eyes hypnotised me whenever our eyes locked. I remember when I saw her lying on the road drenching wet from the rain. She was in a horrible state, bruised and scarred all over her body. She was surrounded by a pool of her own blood making me turn her around to see her face. Due to the mud and rain, I couldn't see her face properly. 

I picked her up bridal style and rushed her to my car taking her to the hospital. I didn't even know the girl but her presence made me feel peaceful and calm. When I took her to the hospital the doctors told me she was in a critical state which made me worried. I don't know why I was worrying for a stranger but I stayed behind and paid for all her hospital bills. I looked through the small window of her room and took a glance of her now cleaned face. When I saw her half of her face my eyes widened. Just by looking at half of her face I knew she would be gorgeous. She was so beautiful that I craved to see her eyes. 

I felt protective over her all of a sudden wanting to take her home and never letting her go. After a few hours the doctor came and informed me she was in coma. I felt a pang of hurt in my chest as I placed my hand over my heart. I went in and looked at the pale angel on the bed. As I took a closer look I could see light come out of her face. The Nur (Light in Arabic) was shining on her face making me not wanting to take my eyes of her. I didn't know about her family or friends neither we had any contacts of them, so I decided to make her my responsibly. I stroked her face and kissed her on her forehead. Parts of her face was filled with bruises like she was hit which made me fume in anger wanting to kill the one who dared to hurt her. 

It had been 1 year since she was in coma. In that 1 year I took her back to my home land, Egypt where I took care of her in my house. My family was in shock at first as I brought a stranger at home, I mean I didn't even now her name but I was stubborn as I wanted to keep her beside me as she made me feel calm which no girl has ever made me feel. 

I have never been in relationship, neither have I ever touched a girl. My mother has always taught me to respect girls and to only give my first to the girl I will love and marry but I didn't have time for love as I was the Mafia King and the richest business man in England and Egypt. I took care of my angel in that 1 year. I even placed cameras in her room in case she would wake up. My family were uncomfortable at first but started to warm up to her as she looked so innocent. My mother would bath her and clothe her all the time as my sister would help her brush her long brown soft hair. 

I wanted to know this angel's name, I craved to see her eyes, I craved to hear her voice. She was like the missing jigsaw piece to my heart. Whenever I would see her or go close to her my heart would pump fast which never happened. My stomach would flutter and tingles would run through my body whenever I would kiss her forehead and caress her soft cheeks. 

Then came the day when my heart finally melted for this girl. The day she opened her mesmerizing grey eyes hypnotized me into her beauty. She looked at us all confused but was very calm. She didn't talk for a few seconds and then asked "Where am I ?". Her voice was like music to my ears, so soft, so angelic and sweet. I explained everything to her about who I was, where I found her and how she ended up here. She looked at me with a small smile "Thank you" She said in her sweet voice. I was confused as she didn't panic or scream or cry, it was like she was thankful she was away from something. I knew something must have happened to her in the past because I could see pain in her eyes. 

She tried to leave my house, she tried to leave me but I forced her to stay behind. I didn't want her to leave me. I felt empty and alone when she wasn't there. I told her that she is in a different country as she looked at me shocked. She panicked a bit so I took advantage and offered her a job at my company which she hesitantly agreed too. When I told her she was in Egypt she relaxed a bit and she this was her home land too making me surprised.

I offered her to stay at my home and since then she has been living here. My family started to love her a lot. My parents were protective over her and treated her like their own daughter. My brothers and sister adored her and loved having another member in the family. 

When she started working at my company, I swear she was like a good luck charm. My company became even more successful due to her great ideas. I made her my personal assistant and she contributed to the tasks very well. I was really impressed with her wits and ideas. She was very intelligent and creative which made my company number 1. Years went by as we worked together and became best friends and believe me when I say I've never had a female friend before. I started to fall for her, Me, a ruthless and merciless man started to fall deeply in love with this girl. 

Her personality was so attractive and all men wanted to know her which made my blood boil. She was mine and only mine and I was very possessive of her. If any man looked at her in the wrong way I would wait for a chance and beat him up pulp. Her soul was so humble and kind. Whenever she walked on the streets she would spend time with the poor and beggars, feeding them and talking to them as they were long lost friends. People in our town started to love her and she became known as The Rare Diamond by the town people, my rare diamond. 

She is so beautiful that I can't even describe her looks. She was tall and slim having the perfect curves that women dreamed for. She had long straight, dark brown hair that reached her slim waist. Her skin was milky and soft with a cute dainty nose. Her lips were plump and pink, so kissable. She has a big heart always talking to people with manners and etiquettes.
