Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

THEY ARE MINE TO AVENGE

Mariam’s P.O.V.

“Yes, Mr Bernard… yes… I already have given you all the documents. If he is still making trouble about closing the account then ask him to talk to me. Yes… there is no way that I am going to let him my money…… yes… No… I am withdrawing the guarantee that I have given before for his loan. Yes… yes.. you already know about my and my mother’s health conditions. I don’t think that I will be able to pay on behalf of him if he goes bankrupt in the future”, I was talking with my bank manager about the business loan that Warrick had taken a year ago. I put my property papers in the bank as a guarantee and now I asked my bank manager for the withdrawal of my papers as I needed them to pay for my hospital bills. Dexter arranged everything for the bank, proving my reasons and claim. I knew that it was a big lie but I didn’t think that I needed to support Warrick now.

“Okay…you must inform him so that he can arrange something else. ….. yes… yes… I will appreciate it… thank you, Mr Bernard... thank you so much”, I hung up the call after that with a wide grin on my lips. This was the start that I needed to take a month ago but this accident had delayed everything. “So you are now on your track again?” mom asked me in a calm tone and I pursed my lips into a thin line. “I need to cut ties completely if I want to move on. I want to return what I got from them but in my ways”, I looked at her again with a determined gaze. “You know that I am always with you, Mariam, right?” she said and I smiled widely. “I know, mom”, I grinned and she smiled this time. “What about Valerie?” she asked me after a while and I smirked. “My plans are already working, mom. They are not together now”, I said with a grin and she raised her brows. “What are you talking about?” she asked me immediately.

“I have started the paperwork to finally get what’s mine. She plotted everything to get the property that I have inherited from our grandparents. She wants everything only for her. So, I need to take everything from her”, I said in a cold tone while thinking about the assault and their brutal torture of those kidnappers. She assigned me not only to kill me but to torture me before killing me. The pain, the hurt, the way they broke my bones, the way they broke every muscle of my body, I couldn’t forget that. “Hey”, I felt my mom’s hand on my cheek and that was when I realized that I was crying. “You are strong, Mariam and your strong will to live was the thing that made you escape from there when you were not even able to crawl on the ground. Don’ t let those memories invade your mind, love”, she gently wiped the tears from my face and then stroked my head slowly.

“I am not strong, mom. I was a fool who trusted them. He said that he loved me when he was busy screwing my cousin. They both played with me and my feelings. I gave everything to them. I gave them my trust and saw what they gave me in return”, I smiled bitterly while crying silently. There was silence in the room for a few minutes. Mom only stroked my face slowly and gently. I could see the pain in her face. I knew that she was trying hard to keep her tears back and it was really hard for her right now. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The thick silence between us was broken by the loud ringing of my phone. I opened my eyes and saw the screen.

I scoffed when I saw Warrick’s name on the caller ID. “Put the phone on the speaker and also on the recording”, my mom instructed me and I nodded. “What do you want now?” I immediately asked him after picking up the call. The phone was on the speaker now. “What is it, Mariam? Why are you doing this to me?” he immediately yelled while crying aloud. “What I am doing, Warrick?” I asked immediately in an innocent tone as if I had no idea about what he was talking about right now when I clearly knew. “I got a call from the bank that I needed a new guarantor for my business loan because you want to withdraw your name. You already know that how it was hard to find a guarantor back then and…(He paused and took a deep breath).. .. why are you taking revenge on me when you know that it was not me who schemed against you”, I scoffed when he again played the innocent card in front of me.

“You know that both I and my mom are injured and we need a large sum to pay our hospital bills. I don’t have enough money with me because I am out of the job for more than one year. I am still not in a condition to work and I don’t know for how long I will not be able to go to work again. We have so much responsibility and… and…. I don’t know if I have to see my home too”, I faked a choke voice in the end. “What are you saying, Mariam? You are married to Demitry Davenport. He is f***ing billionaire and”, I immediately cut him off in a cold tone. “You know me, Warrick. I don’t like staying dependent on others. He is my husband but I am not going to ask him for money when I know I can manage on my own”, my voice was now cold and distant.

I heard him scoff and I raised my brows. “Yeah… I know… I know… your moral…. You will not ask your husband for help.. but please help me…. I am begging you… don’t do this to me. It will ruin everything for me…. It…. It will destroy everything, Mariam….. please … help me… We were in a relationship for more than seven years…. For the sake of our relationship…. Please help me”, he almost yelled at me in the end and I felt that every hair on my body was on fire now. “Where were you, Warrick when they kidnapped me?” I asked him in a calm tone trying to keep my anger at bay. There was no response from his side. “Let me help you remembering where were you?” I said in a bitter tone. “You were screwing my cousin when those men kidnapped me. You were f***ing that sister of mine when they were torturing me”, I stopped when I felt that I was now at the verge of breaking down.

“It…. It was not like that, Mariam”, he spoke meekly that time. “Then tell me what was it like that?” I yelled this time. I had tears in my eyes again but I didn’t want to shed a tear on him now. He didn’t deserve my tears. Heck.. he didn’t deserve anything from me but only pain and hurt. “You are not getting anything from me, Warrick”, I said in a bit cracked voice this time. I was really bad at hiding my emotions. There was silence for a few seconds and then I heard him laughing. I scoffed internally and was about to hang up when I heard him calling my name. “You are right, Mariam…. You are right about where was I when they kidnapped you. It was Valerie who planned everything. It was not me but her. She loves me so much that she gives everything of her to me even her body”, the venom in his voice was so venomous. So, it was all about her body??

“You got what you wanted, Warrick. You wanted a partner who can satisfy all your needs and you got that partner. I am out of your life. You must be happy with that partner of yours. I wish you good luck for your prosperous future”, I was now bitter and cold. I hung up without even listening to him again. I had enough of his bullshit and I was not willing to listen to him now. They had a great time together. Now I wanted to see how long they would stay together. I would give them every pain that I had suffered. “Relax, love…. I am glad that he is out of your life now”, I heard my mom’s voice and looked at her. she was smiling at me but I could see rage and anger in her eyes. She also treated Warrick and Valerie as her own children. She was as hurt as I was. We both were in the same boat but for different reasons.

“Mariam”, I looked up and found Rehaana standing on the door. “Hey”, I immediately smiled and greeted her. “How long you were standing there?” I asked her when she came near to me. “Since when you got his call”, she said in a calm tone but I could feel that she was pissed. “Come here… help me”, I said to her and she took a deep breath. She dragged mom’s wheelchair a little away from the bed and then came closer to me. I was in a sitting position for a long period and was feeling a bit tired now. She helped me getting laid on the bed again. “Ohhhh… it’s really a relief”, I said with a faint smile and she also smile weakly.

“You will have your physiotherapy session from tomorrow morning onwards. We are going to meet the doctor in the evening. They need to run some tests on you to get your present health conditions”, she informed me and I nodded. “Where is Demitry?” I asked her and she took a deep breath. “He is on a trip right now”, she said and I looked at her in confusion. “What trip? He didn’t tell me”, I said with confusion this time. “It happened in the last minutes. He will call you soon”, she informed me again with an apologetic tone. “I understand”, I said with a sad smile this time. Right now, I needed him here with me but I guess, I needed to wait for him. “You are going to leave that scumbag just like this?” I was confused after listening to her question.

“Of course not, Rehaana. He is going to pay for what he did to me. I am not leaving anyone who hurt me so badly. I am not a monster like them. I can’t kill them but I will make their living hell. I will not let them come out of their miserable lives”, I said in a cold bit determined tone. She smiled and we both held our gazes for a few seconds. “I can help you, you know”, she said and I only shook my head. “No Rehaana… they are mine to revenge”, I said and she nodded this time. “I am just curious to see their faces again”, she said with a wink and I smiled at her again.
