"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
First as usual was Rashid. 'What trouble did you cause again? I feel like my life is on the line because of you. Take a look at this.' He attached a link and Zayn clicked on it. He was immediately redirected to the dark web. Dark web meaning it was a private web world for world class hackers, assassins, high officials in the country and so many more. One of the headlines was actually what caught Zayn's eye - WHOEVER IS ABLE TO GET THE IDENTITY OF LORD Z WOULD BE GIVEN A LIFETIME DIAMOND CREDIT. This job was posted on the hackers section. Many people except hackers won't understand what diamond credit signifies. Diamond credit means whichever hacker succeeds in the mission would be given a cash reward that ranges from billions, trillions upwards. Not just that. The hacker would be able to leave that dirty world behind and start a new life. He would be provided lifetime support in any country of his choice. A typical example of relaxing in your house while the money rolls
His father didn't reply but as soon as he opened the envelope and brought out the letter in it, he saw the bold ink, American University In The Emirates . His brows furrowed as he read what was in the letter. "Father, when did this letter arrive?" "A week before you returned," Shaquille was wiping the glass figurines on his shelves gingerly. "Why didn't you reject it?" Zayn's face had a hint of displeasure as he dropped the letter on the table. Shaquille's hands stopped moving and he looked up. "The research is bound to start tomorrow. You can't reject it now." Zayn frowned. "Papa, you could have rejected it when you had the chance. I am not interested in joining any research." Shaquille's expression didn't change but he said,"The device in your hand... That mobile was created single handedly by one of their students. You didn't reject the mobile but you want to reject their offer. When did you start owing favors?" Zayn's eyes narrowed. This damn old man... He'
Zayn paused. Why does the professor standing opposite him with a wrinkled smile on his face look so familiar? A tight embrace shook him out of his thoughts and he stood frozen in shock as professor Drake suddenly walked forward and hugged him tightly. Gasps rang out in the room. "Who do you think that man is?" Someone asked. "Professor Drake is one of the strictest professors in this college. I have never seen him smile before. But for him to hug that man... Who is he?" "Could he be Professor Drake's son?" Eyes turned to the person that said this. She immediately tried to rephrase her words. "Or perhaps, a new transfer student." Amidst the students' wild guesses, professor Drake spoke, "I finally get to meet you. You created quite a ruckus back then in school. My friend always had to visit the school nurse for painkillers because of you." Realization dawned on Zayn. So professor Drake must have taught in that foreign college he got his IT degree from. Profes
"Sir, I asked around but the attorneys were quite tight-lipped. None was willing to say a word stating that it's against their ethics to give out information about clients." Khalid's handsome face adorned a frown as he glared at the man in front of him. Seeing his expression, the terrified man quickly added,"But I managed to find that the attorney is a divorce lawyer." A trace of surprise flashed on Khalid's face. Divorce lawyer? Why would Zayn visit a divorce lawyer? "And I also managed to acquire that Zayn visited that old restaurant to meet his friend. However, he seemed to have offended the restaurant owner because the senile old man had nothing good to say about him. He didn't even want to talk about him." Khalid laughed softly when he heard this. He isn't surprised since it's his brother's nature to offend people easily. He looked a bit satisfied at this report as he nodded,"Good. This is enough for now. Last night, he and father discussed something privately and
