Married To A Hidden Enemy

I thought I married the perfect man. I did not know I married my enemy.

My name is Zara. When I met Daniel, everybody said I was lucky.

He was handsome. He was rich. He was kind. He prayed with me. He bought me gifts. He told me sweet words every day.

My mother said, "Zara, do not let this man go. Men like Daniel are rare.alot of people were happy for me but neither do they or I new what I was walking into

So I married him. I was happy. I thought my life was perfect.

But after our wedding, everything changed.

Daniel stopped smiling at home. He stopped talking to me. He started coming home late. He started hiding his phone. He started locking his room. the most painful part he refused us to have children 

One night, I asked him, "Daniel, did I do something wrong?"

He looked at me with cold eyes and said, "Zara, you did not do anything wrong. You were just too blind to see who I really am."

That night, I could not sleep. I started to remember everything.

I remembered that Daniel was the same boy who bullied me in school. He was the same boy who laughed when other children laughed at me it was done on me that most times time don't change who people really are. He changed his name. He changed his face. He changed his voice. But he did not change his heart to me.

He did not marry me because he loved me. He married me to punish me I silently withdraw from him without argument .

He wanted my father's company. He wanted my family's land. He wanted to destroy everything my father built.

The man who slept beside me every night was the same man who want me down in all means

I cried and prayed, "God, what do I do? Alot of though came through my heart at the same time should I run? Do I stay and  fight or Do I leave with my life intact?"

Then I made a decision. I will not run. I will not cry again. If he is playing a game, I will also play the game. But I will play it smarter.

I started to act like I did not know anything. I smiled. I cooked for him. I loved him like before. But in secret, I was collecting everything — his messages, his plans, his lies.

One day, Daniel came home and saw police in our house. He shouted, "Zara, what did you do?"

I looked at him and said, "Daniel, you married me to destroy me. But you forgot one thing. A woman who loves with her whole heart, when she is betrayed, she fights with her whole heart too."

He was arrested that day. Not because I hated him. But because I finally saw the truth.

Now people ask me, "Zara, do you regret marrying him?"

I say, "No.but I found my true strength.

Zara never surrender after the arrested stay tone for the next chapter of zara
