Chapter 234. Say My Name

After a minute or two, he stood up, and she shrieked, backing away to the wall. With two strides, he was in front of her. He raised his hand, which made her close her eyes, ready to receive that hit, but it never came. Rather, it was a soft touch on her cheek, but she still kept her eyes closed tightly.

“Zahra,” he whispered, stroking her cheek.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw him staring at her.

“I’m sor..ry. I don’t know h-“ she began to explain.

“Shhh,” he put his finger on her lips, quieting her.

Oh God!

“I swear-“ she started again when he pulled back his finger.

“Quiet, Zahra,” he said. “Say my name.”

“Huh?” she frowned.

“Say my name, señorita.”

She blinked her eyes in confusion. What did he mean?

“Irtaza.”

“Again.”

“Irtaza.”

He smiled. “Don’t you think my name suits your lips more than that bastard’s?” he cocked a brow before capturing her lips in a soft kiss, which didn’t last long.
