Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law

Saira descended the small platform connected to the airport runway and drew in a long, steady breath. For the first time in what felt like forever, she could finally exhale and breathe freey... without any worry! She had done it—she had escaped Maniwa, left behind the nightmare that was Robert Collins, and now there was a chance to build something new. Something that was only hers. A family of their own, free from fear and her own stupidity.

She turned around slowly, her gaze following the gurney as Adam was carefully wheeled down the ramp. Her lips curved into a small smile. He was in her hands now. She still felt like pinching herself to make sure this was not a dream. They were both safe and would be together, and that was all that mattered.

It was a blessing, really, that she hadn’t been able to grab that brat Adir. The thought of him slipping away still nagged at her, but not enough to lose sleep over. Even if he had seen her being ’murdered’ back in the hotel room, the scene had been staged with enough blood and chaos to fool anyone-especially a child. He probably thought she was gone for good. Which was better. Because the man who had been handed Adir was also a threat to her. Since he had a way to make her do what he wanted.

Bringing Adir along would have only complicated things. Managing two hostages would have been a nightmare—twice the risk, twice the unpredictability. She didn’t need that. One was enough. She was still mentally patting herself on the back when she felt a sudden tap on her shoulder.

Her body stiffened. She turned around slowly, and the smile that had just started to grow disappeared from her face in an instant.

A man in uniform stood in front of her, giving her an unreadable look. For one terrifying second, her mind went blank. Had she been discovered. She looked around, already trying to calculate the way in which she could escape but then, he called out in a professional tone,"Miss? You’ll need to come with us to complete the immigration formalities."

Saira blinked. Her heart, which had leapt into her throat, settled back She gave a small nod, almost too casual, and muttered a quiet, "Right. Of course. Thank you."

For a moment there, the sight of that uniform had nearly knocked the soul out of her and she had been ready to abandon Adam and run. Thankfully she had not.

She didn’t notice the odd look the officer gave her as he escorted her inside. Her fight or flight response had not gone unnoticed by the officer.
