54- Not A Tale Of Yesterday

~ Eileen ~ 'Believe it or not but you are insensitive, Asad. You still irk me now by your nonchalance." After Sebastian left, I was thinking of going back home but I was waiting for his call. I wanted to see how he would react after knowing I hadn't left but he was not attending my call. Disappointed at his lack of attention, a frown was plastered on my face while I was about to leave for my home. Noticing my furious look, Asad asked because he was the one who loves meddling in matters, 'What happened?" 'Sebastian is not attending my calls. In fact, his phone has switched off now." I sighed, it was perturbing me at this point. He said he would wait for my call but is it becoming hard for him to attend my call too? 'I doubt he would have time, all of them had gathered in one place, he would be indulging in the danger." He shrugged nonchalantly, not paying much attention to it. Narrowing my eyes, I folded my arm, 'Why are you there? Aren't you interested in going there too?" 'Death is already chasing my younger Brother. Not gonna fuel his fury further by going there and spilling something I shouldn't." His impassive tone came, arching a brow in amusement. 'What do you mean?" I asked, confused. His Brother is Zaviyaar Sheikh, who could hurt him? 'My younger brother, Fahad, married Sufiyan Eitzaz's woman. Oh boy, he is infuriated. Won't be long until his Janaza." He chuckled, shaking his head. Not only mine but his Brother's life was a source of enlivenment for him, pissing me off further. 'Janaza?" 'Funeral Prayer." He smirked, leaned back relaxed as if it didn't matter, irking me now. 'You seem unaffected." I scoffed, folding my arms, narrowing my eyes in ire at him. 'I warned him, he didn't listen- his fault." He responded calmly, rising from his seat with his hands in his pocket but then a teasing smirk reached his lips. 'Did it increase your resentment for me?" He asked in a mocking tone. 'I.. don't hate you." I mumbled, turning my head away to ignore his words. In fact, I was angry at myself for stopping and responding to him in the first place. 'You do, it's clear in your eyes. Ah, why do you and your husband hate me so much?" He laughed a little, amused at the level of being unfavored he gained yet remained monotonous about it. 'You just irritate me by considering all of it a joke, a drama." I told him impassively, trying not to display fury. At my reply, he chuckled, taking a step closer, a devious smirk coming to his lips as he spoke an undeniable truth. 'Isn't all our lives are to someone? To some my life would be the same as yours too. Everyone's life is a drama to someone else." He whispered, leaning closer to my face but I instinctively took a step back, averting my gaze from his muscular form. 'My life is not your entertainment." I mumbled, moving away from him as his amusement faded, straightening his back. 'I never said it, Eileen." Hearing my name from him sounded weird but he was dead serious which made my heart skip a beat to ponder if I triggered him. 'I am your lawyer at the moment, I observe the events, all the things happening in your life. Though you will make the final decision in the end." He explained the real reason for his interest in my life which I totally forgot about. I honestly didn't think of it from that perspective. 'I told you already, I don't want to leave Sebastian." I enunciated, folding my arms and rolling my eyes off, still not preferring his interference. 'I don't trust decisions made in one day. One day you said you want to leave and then the next day, you don't. Human emotions' stumble," He snickered, taunting me at my change of decision. Scoffing, I rolled my eyes off as he continued. 'You said it today, who knows if this statement changes later too? How much can you trust- No, in fact how many times you had successfully stopped Sebastian from getting furious?" Asking, he pushed me into a corner of silence. My heart began to race, thinking about times where I had successfully stopped Sebastian and there was none. I could never stop him, I had never helped him nor tried to. 'Since you know him better than all of us, since you are his exception- How many times have you controlled his anger issues? His beastly nature?" He asked, recalling the points I failed to place into cognition, leaving me at a loss of words. I opened my mouth to argue but not a single valid response came, leaving me in the middle and releasing a ‘tsk' sound, I looked down, defeated. 'I never tried to…" I mumbled, biting the inside of my cheek. I tried thinking what Sebastian did for me and the answer came instantly- He heard me. My voice reached him. But then when I think about what I had done for him… nothing came to my mind. In fact, what can I do when I don't know what he desires? 'You need a marriage counselor more than a lawyer." Asad laughed a little, mocking our bond openly but I wouldn't argue with it. How did I manage to come this far in the first place doing nothing? I was about to agree with Asad and ask him for a counselor too but Ruben's tone came nonchalantly, using his phone, 'In fact, he needs therapy before anything else." 'Hadn't he tried it?" I asked, turning to Ruben who stopped next to his friend, putting his phone back. 'He did, not effective. Bloodlust over drugs for him." He said, trying not to think about it but sighing, I corrected his words. 'More like screams." I mumbled but it dropped Ruben's reaction, bringing strange dread to his face, vanishing his collected posture. 'What happened?" I asked, bewildered at his response when he realized the depth of my words was much better than mine. Lowering his eyes, Ruben touched the scar on his eyes, whispering hesitantly, 'He told me to scream, he made me." My eyes widened in appall to fathom what Sebastian did to Ruben. If he could make his own Brother scream then who am I compared to him? 'Be grateful, Eileen, that he hadn't made you scream." Ruben whispered, disgusted, reaching for his features. Asad held an inscrutable expression as Ruben was repulsed at Sebastian. 'When did he do that?" I asked, instantly regretting asking the question whose answer I was unable to bear. 'When he gave me this beautiful present on my fucking face." Ruben growled, pointing at his finger at the extremely painful scar on his eye which seemed like as if he was tortured but- 'Sebastian did this?" I gasped, not believing he did this Ruben. 'Yes, Dear sister-in-law, your husband fucking ripped my eye out. Take a closer look at my face, your husband did this to his own brother." He growled, showing me a part of Sebastian's side I never witnessed before. Now I understood why her parents asked me if Sebastian tortured me or not. He is a monster. 'Forcing me to scream until our parents stopped him and threw him in the asylum for a damn year and sent me away from this beast." He snarled, turning his head away, outraged as I understood Ruben's resentment towards Sebastian. 'I… had no idea something like this happened…" I whispered, trembling a little to think what could have happened to me if Asad hadn't come. Sebastian was determined to make me scream when he shot Sofia, he was ready to punish me… "You are extremely delicate, Eileen. Both physically and mentally and If this continues… I might end up breaking you beyond repair." It was all making sense now. That was what he meant when he said he would break me. He was afraid to give me a scar like Ruben. That was why he punished his hand… Sebastian was scared to hurt me… A tear pricked in the corner of my eyes when things I had no idea about before were placed before me now, causing me to tremble to perceive. 'You know nothing, Eileen. That is why I was called to take you away. You have no idea about the devil you live with." Ruben growled but at the moment I was not seeing Sebastian from the perspective of a devil. I was his exception after all…
