"You did what?" Mrs Faez questioned with an incredulous look. The expression on her face stated that she felt like her daughter is the biggest fool she has ever seen. "Mom, I already submitted the signed papers to the attorney," Dahlia flinched. She knew if this revelation had happened a day earlier, before finding out Zayn's real identity, her mother would probably be the happiest one on earth. "You are going to call that attorney right away and inform him that the divorce won't proceed. You unfilial child!" Mr Faez finally exploded with anger. "I snatched away the company with great difficulty, I am not going to watch it collapse during my regime," He added. "Dad, I already threatened Zayn earlier that he has to show up at the attorney office for the divorce process. Shouldn't I inform him that I'll be canceling the arrangement?" Her parents glared at her. "If you don't terminate that annulment right away, you can forget about being Faez's daughter!" After saying this
Zayn stood in front of the mirror, basking in the glory of his manly physique. A toothbrush was in his hand while his phone was in the other. He arched his brow when he checked the picture he had posted two to three hours ago. It already had five hundred thousand likes, on the way to a million milestone. He checked the comments and snickered. "Never knew I was so popular," He mumbled as he scrolled through the comments that had netizens trolling both Lord Z and Zayn Sultan. Are they aware that the two different persons they are trolling are actually the same person? Zayn shook his head and rinsed off the toothpaste from his mouth. Only a small number of the netizens were expressing their excitement at his return. (As Lord Z.) Others were either asking to know why he disappeared and were even already speculating that he must have offended somebody. As Zayn stepped under the shower, he chuckled. If only they knew he had actually been living a low-key life as a live-in son-
Zayn drove out in the sleek, brand new Bugatti Chiron he had just acquired. This was by far the current most expensive car in the UAE. His father must have spent a lot of effort to get the car. He sped on the road, thinking he had really wanted to go to Mr Mikhail's restaurant in an conservative manner. It was the old man's fault for giving him a new ride, knowing fully well that he can't resist. He got to the restaurant after half an hour. Under the passersby watchful eyes, he maneuvered the car into the restaurant's garage. If he had been a little bit vigilant, he would have noticed that as soon as he drove into the garage, another vehicle, a minivan drove in and parked beside him. But he didn't pay attention to this. He kept his phone and the car key before walking into the restaurant. Once he got in, he almost bumped into Noor who was carrying a stainless steel tray. A scowl appeared on the latter's face when he saw Zayn. "How wonderful of you to show up a da
Slash! Zayn felt the breeze slapped his face as the knife whizzed past, narrowly missing his left eye. He could have sworn the sharp tip of that knife was directly headed to his eye but took a turn at the last minute. Still, he didn't fret. His calm expression surprised and amused the gang. "Are you scared?" The huge man assumed to be the gang leader asked. "You just have to follow us the easy way and we'll cease this violence immediately." A wicked smile danced on Zayn's face as he looked up. He could feel the people holding onto him were distracted and already weakened their hold on him. "What do we do? I just so happen to love violence." Before the gang members had the time to react to his words, he freed one of his hands swiftly and pulled the man close to him. Swinging his fist, he punched the unprepared man hard. "Argh!" A painful scream rang out in the garage. The gang members watched in horror as blood streamed down their colleague's face and he dropp
"Give me a minute," Zayn told the beautiful lawyer and attempted to step aside. However, she stood up. "I'm heading to the mosque. It's almost time for the afternoon prayers. Would it be convenient for you to stay at the reception?" Zayn checked the time on his phone and saw that it was almost four pm. He had missed the first part of the prayers. He quickly returned his phone and informed her,"Let's go together." The lawyer didn't object since she was in a hurry. A mosque was in the neighborhood and people were already walking in. As soon as Zayn and the lawyer performed their ablution, they parted ways since the male section is different from the female section. The prayer only took an hour or so. They met again in front of the mosque entrance. "Permit me to ask. What is your name?" Zayn questioned as they walked. He was checking his call log to find Dahlia's contact. "Just call me Benazir," She answered with a smile. "Have you spoken with your wife?" "I'm about to
The servants subconsciously backed away as Zayn stormed into Faez's family house. As he walked, they couldn't resist sneaking glances at him. Every one of them are aware of what Zayn's previous position in the family was. When he suddenly appears dressed in branded clothes, wearing expensive accessories, driving a luxurious car and what more... Oh yes, the sudden imposing aura surrounding him, they can't help but wonder if it is the same person they used to know. "Is it the new glasses I got that is causing me to see things?" One maid whispered to her friends. They shook their heads vigorously to indicate 'No'. "If it is, then we all need to get glasses too... He is so handsome. Why did we never notice this?" Another squealed. The others rolled their eyes at her. "Is that the same master Zayn, young missus' husband?" "It's really him. How could someone change within a day? Didn't he just disappear for a day or two and now, he comes back, looking so different." "I
Zayn looked up quizzically. The cashier looked back curiously and asked, "Sir, I noticed you have been groaning in pain. Is it something serious? Do you need any help applying the ointment?" His words caused Zayn to pause. He looked at the ointment and then back at the cashier. "No, thank you," He smiled at the young cashier boy. "I'll do it myself." The cashier nodded and informed him that the payment had been completed successfully. He grabbed the ointment then and turned to leave when a loud cry suddenly rang out in the small pharmacy. He didn't mean to watch but the cry spiked the inquisitive side of him so he stood and watched. A man soon emerged from the backroom he never noticed earlier. The man was followed by a woman whose face was badly bruised. Though she was in a horrible state, she still grabbed onto the man's pants and pleaded. Zayn didn't realize at this moment that the cashier boy behind him was shaking with... Is that fury? "Please, you certainly
Clang! Swords clashed in the air. Zayn and Zayed had changed out of their outfits into loose bottoms and nothing else. They were in some sort of training room that looked like an ancient training room with the armor, knives, spears, daggers, swords and so many weapons hanging around. Amidst the tension in the atmosphere, there was a mixture of iron and wood in the air. "If I win, you'll accept defeat once and for all," Zayn spoke as he got into a fighting pose. "And you have to hear me out and provide whatever assistance I need." "Mm, I agree with your second term but not the first one... But there's no way you could beat me anyway," Zayed pronounced. Zayn chuckled. He glanced at the entrance doors that had royal servants guarding it, servants that were dying to sneak a peek at the two young masters training. "You hear that?" Zayn called out in a loud voice. "Your master said it himself. He can't go back on his words." The servants took this opportunity to turn arou
