Rhys's eyes were locked onto Mara’s irises as she held onto her silver flowing dress, with a soft smile creased on her face as she walked down the stairs.He couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she looked, walking down the stairs, graced in her beautiful silver dress.She was truly breathtaking, with her long red hair wrapped around in long waves with a small ribbon placed right on top. Her well-defined juicy lips with the upper lip almost in the shape of a heart that lingered a sweet, caring smile painted with deep crimson lipstick, and her pinkish cheeks and small apart little freckles all came into view when she came up close to Rhys. The space between them slowly closed up as the music by the garden sort of increased when he grabbed her by the hand.“You…” Rhys stuttered, staring into her eyes unable to look away. He’d slowly gone lost in them. Just when she etched closer, he leaned forward whispering into her ears. “You look so beautiful,” He said, with a smile creaesd on

I stepped forward and then grabbed one of them stepping over top of him. And then I bared my teeth into his flesh, growling, forcing a permanent hole as I had him killed instantly as the others stood by watching the scene. A lot of rogue men hurried my way, coming in groups of four, and twos headed in my direction.My eyes for some annoying reason, slowly had its color changed under the influence of me being completely angry over the fact that she was being taken away by Giovanni and I was getting attacked by some unknown rogue men.“Where the hell are they coming from?” I scowled, trying to make my way through angry rogue men as they attacked.

RHY’S POV I had my head lowered as I rummaged through the papers on my desk. I tried extremely hard to focus but the conversation from a couple of weeks ago with Yara, kept whirling in my head. “Go on,” My voice was short and my eyes never left the stack of papers. Ignoring the fact that I’d been on one paragraph for the last couple of hours. “We’ve already upped patrol on the border, but still no sign of her,” Dante spoke up, distressed all over his face as he stared back at me.“I'm open to more orders,” He added, as I leaned back in the chair keeping my eyes low.“We stay on the course, we stay scouting, we have to keep searching,” I said frustratingly.“We can't be sitting ducks, we have to do something—” I grimaced but then paused, the minute I realized I was beginning to over react.It had been a couple of months since she’d suddenly disappeared. A couple of months since we had dinner together and a couple of months since I’ve seen her smile.“Perhaps we could send out a few

"Yes I am fucking worried. You expect me not to be? I don't even know what to say. My boss isn't really happy. She seems really unhappy with the way things are going." "What do you mean?" He continued to ask and I sighed."He's making her worry too much. Do you see all the things she's going through? I mean, the expression on her face says it all. You don't need to even see her." Victor sighed. He was worried about the way things were. "But you know I told you levi is a good man now. How do you expect her to actually not take him back."

Lia's pov The way I rushed out of the bathroom, and back to the seat caused Johnny's eyes to remain fixed on me. I could tell he was very much scared."Is everything alright. You seem a bit tensed." His observation skill was top notch. Of course I was actually really tensed. My main concern was why he was actually making me look like a lunatic. I didn't want anything to do with him. Yet, things were going haywire."I'm just a little bit tired, I think I'm not feeling so good," i expressed. I was hoping he would finally let us go home, and just as I suspected, he immediately agreed."Um, let's get you home. Maybe being overly stressed is what's making you this way. I'm sorry for how things turned out."However, he shook his head. "Your safety comes first. You don't seem to recognise it, but I do. The sooner you start understanding it, the better." I smile because I was happy about the way he took it. Respected him to be originally angry about my decision, but supported me and even he

Lia's povI got dressed by seven, and as promised, he came to my room and walked me to the car. At first, I had a bad feeling about it, but I decided to push that bad feeling to the side. Maybe this was the time to have fun."You're worried about the kids? There's no need to be. I asked one of the maids to watch over them. They told me you've been taking care of them well."I smiled. That wasn't really why I was unhappy but then that was a great way to feel relieved.Soon, we arrived at the place, and he led me inside, making me smile. I wanted to enjoy the night with Johnny today.As soon as we sat down, the waiter immediately rushed towards us, handing us the menu."So, what do you want to order?" He asked with a smile, and I blushed."I don't know. What would you like?"He pressed his lips together, eyes fixed on the menu for a while."How about the steak?"I nodded with a smile on my face. However, I still couldn't shake off the uneasiness I felt. There was something up, and I cou

I was so worried about what took place at the office today.I thought the gift was from Johnny. However, it turned out that Levi was actually being smart."Damn you!" I growled. However, upon turning my head. I grabbed my chest. "Ahhh! Fuck!" I screamed, breathing hard which caused Johnny to frown."Are you sure you're alright?" I asked with raised brows, and there was silence.I swallowed, stull breathing hard. It was as though I was confused."Lia?" He called, and I shook my head, trying to snap out of her thoughts I was in."Y-yes!" I answered, heaving at the end. "But you looked stressed, and you came home quite early. I was waiting to surpise you."Sighing, I nodded. "When did You get back? Wasn't expecting

Whenever he was close, I could tell he was always trying to convince me about his change, but I didn't believe it.How could he tell me Kira was no more on his way? I shook my head, my eyes squinted when the door bursted open."There's a bunch of letters, and flowers for you. I think they are some chocolate in there as well." She smiled after me, and made me sigh as well. Whoever it was was surely someone I knew very well."Did the letter say who they are from?" I asked, one of my eyebrows raised. However, she shook her head."It says they are from your secret admirer. Lemme guess..." Her smile only grew wider, and I couldn't contain mine as well. However, mine was more of a smirk with my hands crossed over my chest and a raised brow."Alright, take a guess since you seem to know all the secret admirers I have here, then I don't think there's any need to actually stop you.""Well, I think it's Johnny. Have you both settled the fight?" I

In the delivery ward, a nurse urged me to push, assuring me I could do it, despite my worries and weakening body, bathed in sweat and pain. Finally, after one last push, I felt a strange release, and my body collapsed onto the bed, relieved to hear the cry of my newborn.“You're going to be alright. You shout "take a look at your pretty baby,” the nurse explained, her eyes fixed on me with a small smile on her lips.“Finally, a family I can call my own,” I muttered as my eyes closed on their own.

Chapter 5Maya I bit my lower lip as I pondered on Alex's question. I contemplated hanging up due to his harsh tone but I decided against it. I needed the money. “I called because I haven't been receiving any living expenses since I got here.” I was slightly ashamed as soon as the words left my mouth, but there's nothing else I can do. I heard Alex chuckle from the other end. “Of course, you called to ask for money,” he drawled " Can you not be a burden for Once? You should have gotten the memo by now. No more allowance for you because you don't deserve it."I swallowed past the lump in my throat. I was about to reply him when he said, “And don't you ever call me for something like this ever again. I have important things to do, a company to run.” He ended to call before I could say anything else.I stared at the phone confused, but not surprised. It seemed like life has a way of making me feel as though I was not meant to be in this world.It was still a shock that his love ch
