His Longing??

SAARAH'S POV: 

I returned to my house to get ready for college, skipping breakfast due to my lack of appetite. After dressing in my formal attire, I met up with my companion, and we headed to college. Upon arrival, we met up with our friends, Adi, Zain, and Varun, at the band. However, I noticed that Zain seemed off.

"Zain, are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied, but I sensed that something was amiss.

Varun, noticing Zain's behavior, chimed in, "Bro, really?"

Zain explained, "I'm worried about my brother, Zunaid. He's not answering my calls, and I haven't seen him since morning."

I internally smirked, knowing the reason behind Zunaid's disappearance. Adi reassured Zain, "He must have gone somewhere. You know he came here for important work."

Feeling guilty, I considered revealing the truth to Zain. I believed he would trust me more than his brother. After reassuring Zain, we parted ways to attend our respective classes.

Later, I returned to my penthouse with Kriti and instructed my guards to take me to where they were holding Zunaid. They led me to the basement, where I found Zunaid tied to a chair, bruised and battered.

As I approached, he looked up, his eyes blazing with anger. "Oh, so you're here," he spat.

I smirked, "Unfortunately, yes. How are you feeling? Better, I hope?"

Zunaid's anger intensified. I mocked him, "Oh, my dear brother-in-law is getting angry."

I proposed a game, "Let's play a little game. You start by revealing your secrets."

Zunaid clenched his jaw, and I asked, "You love Zain, don't you?"

He retorted, "That's none of your business."

I responded, "It's my business. Do you think Zain will choose you over his beloved brother? You're just a distraction for him."

Zunaid laughed maniacally, and I clenched my fist. "That doesn't matter. What matters is you. Let's get straight to the point. Who's your boss?"

Zunaid smirked, "You think I'll tell you?"

I motioned to my guards, and they began to torture him. As they beat him, I instructed them to pull out his nails. Just as they were about to do so, Zunaid yelled, "I'll tell you everything!"

I signaled my guards to stop, and Zunaid continued, "Just please, stop this torture."

"There is no boss, Saarah," Zunaid confessed.

"I was the mastermind behind everything. My family was struggling financially, and my uncle, Zain's father, was trying to establish his company. That's when I got close to Saira. She was kind and supportive, paying my bills and college fees. I wanted to marry her to gain control of her company. Yes, I only wanted her for her money."
