*_PROLOGUE_*

"Hold your head up and smile, you coward," Arfaat growled when Juwairiyyah hung back at the top of the steps leading to Sophie's imposing home where the wedding traditional party will take place. His hand gripped her waist so tightly she gasped, and she felt like jerking away and fleeing back down the steps to the waiting car. There was a long line of cars in the street outside Sophie's home; it was obvious the ton had gathered to see the grand wedding of Alhaji Abbas daughter to a poor mechanic.

If not for the cold dread in the pit of her stomach, Juwairiyyah might enjoyed the sight of her _wedding day_ . As it was, she felt only a shivering apprehension at Arfaat cold rage and implacable face. They'd ridden from her fathers house on GRA in stark silence. Except for a brief moment when she had balked at getting into the car, he had not spoken to her until now. "I don't advise you to try anything you may regret, my Lily."

Now they were there, and she was dreading the leering faces inside. His hateful voice and snarled words gave her enough courage to pause in the doorway, where she could see the blaze of light and hear the deafening clamor of voices.

. They waited, and she could feel the eyes of those behind them

. Arfaat looked as handsome as always in his black and white evening clothes, his black hair reflecting the gleam from flickering gaslamps. Her red silk gown made a dramatic contrast, and that alone would have drawn stares if they had not been who they were.

Juwairiyyah heard vague whispers on the steps behind them, and held her dark head even higher.

"They say, my dear, that she was fond of disgracing any poor man who shows interest in her. I wonder how she ended up getting married to a mechanic...."

"Thats what i also heard. She thinks because she's beautiful and her dad is rich, she has the rights to trample on her suitors. I just hope the handsome man here get to teach her a lesson to remember."

"Oh yes!" Arfaat spoke in her ears, tightening his hold on her waist for the second time "Thats just what I'm gonna do, trust me Juwairiyyah, you'll regret ever saying i _Raped_ you, I'll make you regret that, I'll make you regret all those times you've trampled men who claim they love you. I'll make you regret everything."

She shuddered, almost losing her balance when he held her tight again. That alone, caught the attention of others who weren't watching as cheers and claps erupted from the large hall. Arfaat made it look so real and romantic which made it impossible for the camera men not to capture the tom and his jerry!
Holding her hand and guiding her to their table, Arfaat made sure he smiled, showing off the facade of a caring husband. And as they sat down, Juwairiyyah recalled every single thing she did before the coming of this day, and there and then.....she started regretting her actions.

Now, no one can save her from Arfaat's wrath and anger!
