Prologue
It was dark. I couldn’t see a thing.
Darkness, was it night? Either way, I had to find her.
Every inch of my body hurt, I was cold too. I heard noise from outside the cold room. Someone put her in a freezer! I had no strength to scream, I think there was a fight outside. Then an explosion at the door. I grabbed her rushing out.
Yes I lied, but now im telling the truth. I love you and want you and only you. I was just trying to protect you. Protect you from all the harms out there I wanted to protect you from the truth. Liya please be okay, for Allah's sake and for the sake of my tormented fixed heart.

A psychologist. In her late twenties, Muslim… “what exactly do you expect me to do on this boring mission?” I ask yawning
“ didn't you say you’ve always wanted a big case, here you go? You know the biggest name in th industry?”
“Are you talking about Ridwaan again?”
“ he’s your mentor, this is his daughter…”
“now your talking…”
“you have to marry her though.”
“What why, she…whattt!”
“ I guess I’ll pass it over to someone.”
“no,” I say snatching the folder, “ I owe him this, besides it's just marriage im sure I can make her fall for me or get arranged or something…her foster mother is quite familiar with me.”
“sure whatever you’ll be going as Iyaad though..”
I leave before he speaks, he's always telling me what to do, how to dress. im a simple operator for heaven's sake. The best you can find. From now on I’ll be known as policeman Areeb, future husband of Waaliyah Hassan…strange woman. To be honest, I know nothing about women, it shocks me being as handsome as I am.
That day after doing my research I met up with Waaliyah's foster mother who's been in Greece for the past few years and returned for the wedding of Waaliyahs sister and their trustworthy friend Zhareefah. Mishakah, a name that lingers on every female spy's back…after her sister Ayesha she was the most wanted woman on this planet…after Ayesha betrayed her and Ridwaan she left the industry while Ridwaan my mentor was left to rot in jail due to a woman’s lust for power.
I take my seat waiting for her patiently…she arrived dressed casually with her coat on top of her.
“ im so sorry, ” is all I heard before she mumbled an entire story into my ear. I smile nod and pass the menu over to her, laughs smiles and her being a little outspoken than expected. After that, we met up a few times and a date was set for our wedding…everything was running smoothly until I really got to know who liyah Is.
I haven’t spoken to a woman before, usually and when I say I haven’t done it, I meant it never happened..and it feels strange that it’s happening now especially with a weird of a species as her...
And this is when I asked my self what I've gotten myself into.
