ALVIRA’S POV

We got back to the house, and honestly, I felt a lot better and I had only one person to thank for that. We got to the lobby and stood by the elevator.

“Thank you so much, ‘Rissa. I had a lot of fun.” I said, feeling really grateful that I had her in my corner. I don’t think I would have been able to come this far if I did not have her by my side to hold me, lend me a shoulder to lean on, support me or even scold me.

I probably would have ended up in a bad place and would definitely have been lost forever if it were not for her.

“Oh! Come on, Alvira. You know that your happiness is my happiness. I would never want to be sad or crying. Ever. So, if it means I have to take you out, or drag you out as the case may be, I will. As long as you end up being happy, I am fine.” She replied, squeezing my hands in hers.

I swiped at my eyes. She was just so sweet. I really think I did something great in my previous life to have such a great friend in my life.

    ALVIRA’S POV“Good night, Carter.” I said, leaning on the door, my hand resting on the door knob. A part of me just wanted to remain here, around him, be with him and just spend all night talking to him. The other part however, was freaking out about the nonexistent time frame I had before I needed to turn in my assignment. Admittedly, I had already mapped out a bit of the details in my head and how I was going to go about with the paper. But seeing Carter was something I always looked forward to and spending time with him was even more appealing. “Good night Sweets.” He said. For a brief moment, it looked like he was contemplating something. “What is it?” I asked, my voice low. “I want to kiss you.” He said, looking like the thought of not being able to kiss him brought him physical pain. “Oh!” Was all I could utter. “Yeah. Can I?” He asked. “Um, y- ye- yeah.” I cleared my throat. “Yes, you can.” I said, my voice clearer. In the blink of an eye, his lips were on mine, and w

    ALVIRA’S POV“I finally made the list for the transplant.”“Oh my God, ‘Rissa, that is wonderful news. Congratulations baby girl.” I said, extremely happy for her. We had been trying to get her on the list for a long while now and with the financial constraints, we could barely make any headway. However, now, she finally got on the list, which was such great news, I immediately took the laptop from her in ecstasy and went over the mail over and over again. At long last. I honestly could not be any more happy for her. “I know right? I can not believe it myself. After all these while, I finally get a chance to get treated and have all this behind us once and for all. This truly is really a dream come through, Alvira.” she said, tears filling her eyes. “I know.” I said, also feeling the tears welling up in my own eyes. This was definitely the highlight of my day. Yeah, it was supposed to be meeting Carter and sharing the kiss with him. But finally having Clarissa’s name make the lis

    ALVIRA’S POVWe got this. We got this. We got this. We got this-We don’t get this, I thought as I paced around my room. After our joy and adrenaline rush over the news, we had both gone back to our seats, excited and eager to complete our work so that we could start earning and saving. I eventually completed my paper and turned it in, ecstatic that I was able to finish it a day early. As soon as I was done, I had gone on to continue with some of the online tasks I had yet to complete for the day.After the incident years back, I had unconsciously decided to limit any contact with the outside world. Anything that would require me having to interact with humans and this also included working outside. But I knew that if I was to continue on with school, I needed to find a way to work for money without having to talk to humans or be in their midst all day. ‘Rissa’s illness has also further cemented that decision. I needed to be at home and with her to be able to cater for her needs an

    CARTER’S POVLife has been great, especially with getting a second chance with Alvira. It took a lot of pleading and convincing to get her to trust me once again. Apparently, she had gotten a little bit tougher after the break. I must admit, I did find it a lot more interesting to watch. I enjoyed how she tried to look tough for me. Like she had finally grown some wings and would not let me bend her to my will and I enjoyed every bit of bending her to my will. I watched her act so tough and strong and revealed how quickly I was finally able to help trample on her wings. It did sting a bit, having to do that but it has been my father and I for the longest time and honestly, I would rather be on his hood side than risk it all with Alvira. Now I just have to make sure that this next phase moves perfectly well and that I am able to get her to finally let down her walls and let me in. Then and only then, would I be able to get her to fall for me and finally have her heart broken and hum

    CARTER’S POVRage flowed through my veins as I watched the scene unfold in front of everyone. The look on Alvira’s face showed that she was so close to tears and that she was getting really embarrassed by the attention she was suddenly getting. I watched her lips tremble as the crowd gathered, her eyes darting left and right as she frantically tried to get away from the shop attendant’s vice grip to no avail. I could see that she was struggling to keep her cool and not cry her eyes out. “Please, let me go. I promise you, I didn’t not steal anything. I would never. I just wanted to look at it.” She pleaded with the lady. “Oh, just shut up, you cheap and worthless scum. I have seen lots of your type come in here and go. You try to make up stories about how you just wanted to look at it when in truth, you are really here to steal.” She scoffed. “I mean, look at you, you clearly can not afford even the cheapest item in this store and you expect me to believe any word that comes out of

    ALVIRA’S POVI could not even begin to imagine what would have happened if Carter had not come to my rescue. I still can not get over how some people can just be so mean and condescending and just so quick to jump to conclusions. I know that it was way out of my account balance to purchase the bracelet and I really was not going to get it. I had only wanted to show him and get the price from the guy at the reception and see if I could get a discount or installment payment plan.With all that he had gotten for me today, getting him something, no matter how little, was the best I could do to appreciate him for all he did and has been doing. He had been a ray of morning light ever since he had come into my life, always swooping in like my knight in shining armor to save the day. Conversations with him flowed freely and I always looked forward to spending time with him.I had only picked up the bracelet to examine it and take it over to him just to get his opinion on it when the crazy

    ALVIRA’S POV“I want you to fire her.”I let out a gasp as the sales woman immediately got on her knees and began to frantically beg. She crawled to where Carter and I stood and continued begging.“I beg you, Mr. Blane, please do not do this to me. This job is all I have, if I lose it, I would be left to roam the streets. I promise you that this will never repeat itself. Just please, please, spare me this one time. Please.” she cried, but Carter would have nothing to do with her. He sneered at her as he used his leg to fling her hand off of him.“You should have thought of that before you decided to humiliate my woman.” he sneered at her. I felt a pang in my heart as I watched her. Of course, she was in the wrong for making the wrong assumptions on me but it did not get to the point where she would have to lose her job just because of a simple misunderstanding. It felt wrong. But Carter seemed to have made up his mind, ignoring the looks from people around and the pleadings of the

    ALVIRA’S POVWe ended up going round the mall and entering every other store. And with each store we entered, Carter made sure to get something, no matter how small and would make the lady, who we had come to know as Haley, go all the way to the car to drop it and come back to meet us. I found it very funny how he was trying so hard to make her pay for what she did to me. It warmed my heart to see him worry about me to the point of fighting for me. He would occasionally give her the stink eye while she was not looking, he would randomly call out to her and have her run silly errands for us. He made her our little errand girl, making her go for every little type of errand, from picking a pair of slippers on the other side of the aisle or going to the next store to pick up something he saw and randomly thought of getting. At some points, I had to make him stop and not give in to the urge to send her on some wild goose chase. It was fun to watch him be petty, although at some point I

    Alvira’s POVThe hospital room was quiet. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling like a hollow shell. My heart ached, and my mind wouldn’t stop replaying what happened. Lucas was sitting by the window, scrolling through his phone. He hadn’t said much, but his presence was comforting in a strange way. Suddenly, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, stood up, and walked over to me. “It’s Clarissa,” he said softly. “She’s been trying to reach you. You should talk to her.” Hearing her name made my chest tighten. Clarissa was my best friend…..more like my sister. She must’ve been worried sick. I hesitated, then slowly took the phone from Lucas. “Clarissa?” I said in a shaky voice. “Alvira!” Her voice was loud, filled with relief and worry. “Oh, thank God! Are you okay? Where have you been? I’ve been calling and calling! I was so scared something happened to you!” Tears stung my eyes. “I’m so sorry,” I whispered. “I didn’t mean to make you worry. I left my phone

    CARTER’S POV“Why does your father always feel the need to give you these tests for you to prove yourself?” I turned to look at him. It was my turn to look confused. “What do you mean?” I asked, my voice taking a defensive tone. He raised his hands. “I don’t mean to sound disrespectful neither am I trying to accuse anyone of anything. I just feel like this is something that keeps recurring and I just wanted to address it.” He said, shrugging. “I am listening.” I replied. “Okay, well, have you ever noticed how every single time since we were in middle school how your old man always found a way to incorporate some sort of ‘test of strength’ for you just so you could prove yourself?” He asked. I thought about it. I did not know where he was going with this but I decided to oblige him. If it was something that was bothering him, then it must be something that is really serious. However, I was not about to just give him a direct answer. I needed him to explain himself very well befor

    CARTER’S POVLife could not be any better. I was having the best fun of my life with my one and only friend , Larry, surrounded by pretty women who were all vying for my attention. I was stupid rich, with so much money to spend that I didn't even know the first thing to do with it. We had successfully signed off on our company. And with it, came a throng of investors who had sunk their millions of dollars worth of shares and stocks into. We were finally above ground and now, we were on track to becoming one of the largest corporations in the country. Above all, I had finally proven to my father that I was more than able to be the man he thinks I am not. I proved to him that I had the ability to break hearts and not look back. I was as devious as they came and I was excellent at the game of manipulation. And if I was going to run a successful multimillion dollar company, I needed to master that skill. I remember the night after I had finally revealed my plans and broken Alvira’s hea

    ALVIRA’S POVUgh, my head hurt so bad. It felt like a thousand trains had run through my head at the same time. I felt so paralyzed and weak. I tried to move my body but realized that it hurt to even think. I took a deep breath, willing myself to finally open my eyes. Why did my eyelids feel like they were made of lead? I tried to open them, the pain in my body excruciating. What happened? Why did it feel like I was being confined to a bed?My throat was so dry. It felt like someone had run a million sandpapers on it. I definitely did not like this feeling. My toes also felt numb and cold. I tried to wiggle them but felt the same disappointment as it did not work. You can do this, Alvira. Come on. I took another deep breath and slowly willed my eyelids to open, cracking them open slightly only to shut them back, groaning. Why was it so bright? I tried to raise my hands to block the light but I could not. “Hey! Oh thank goodness you are finally awake.” A voice said, very faintly.

How I have missed you.” I said, running over to his arms. “Where have you been? I have missed you.” I said into his chest. “Please do not ever leave me alone again. I can not endure that.” I pleaded, holding him tight. “Just take a look at how pathetic you look, you disgust me with your weakness and timidity.” I raised my head, horror coating my face as I stared at the face of the one man I had ever loved. His smile was gone, now replaced by a look of utter disdain. “Carter…” “Do not ‘Carter’ me. I have always known you to be a weak little thing and never having the balls to stand up for yourself. Of course, you would run over to this place just to hide. You have always been so pathetic and it is so appalling to watch you. I mean, have you no shame?” He sneered. “Carter, please.

    ALVIRA’S POVThis place was quiet and calm, just how I liked it. For the first time ever, I was finally at rest. I could finally rest. With no barriers, nothing stopping me, no one to worry about me. I could finally take a break. I look around me and realize that once again, I am left alone. However, this time feels different. It feels somewhat peaceful. Like I can finally breathe. I find myself back in the park, just by the lake. The cool evening breeze hits my brain, and I take a deep inhale. This feels so good. It is all I have ever needed and at this moment, my only wish was that I could remain in this place forever. I watch as the breeze sets a small wave over the lake, the soft sound from them clashing against the shore mixed with the whistle of the leaves on the trees overlooking the lake.I take a seat on the bench by the shore, taking in another deep breath. This felt better than great. I took in another deep breath, I could get used to this. The sun was setting and I sat

    ALVIRA’S POVI walked out.I did not stop. I just kept walking. My mind was numb. My eyes were empty from having cried all through and right now, there were no more tears left to cry. I just kept walking. I walked out of the penthouse, hearing the sound of giggles from the ladies but not caring to turn back to see what was going on. I had seen and heard enough. I walked into the elevator and just stared ahead of me, seeing nothing in front of me as I waited to get out. Soon, the doors opened and I walked out of the elevator, my legs on autopilot as they carried me out of the building. I vaguely heard the doorman greeting me as I walked by but I was numb to even fake a smile and respond to him. I walked past the security and out of the gate, my legs turning left and moving back the same direction I had come in. It was a gated estate so unless you had a car, you had to walk all the way to the gate. So I walked. I walked all the way down to the gate which was about eight miles but t

    ALVIRA’S POVMy world was spinning. Nothing made sense to me. How was I supposed to take in the fact that my boyfriend had not really been my boyfriend, but instead, it was I who was the pawn he had used in this twisted game between him and his father?“So, everything, every single day was a lie. Every conversation, every time we hung out, every word you said to me, every single time I opened up to you, you mean to tell me that none of that, not even one, meant anything to you?” I asked. It was a surprise to me how steady my voice was when on the inside, I could feel myself dying. Every fiber of my being, every nerve ending, every single part of me was crumbling right now. I could not believe that this was happening right now. This had to be some sick joke. I ran a hand through my hair frantically pacing around the living room. Carter cackled, his laugh so evil and twisted. I paused in my steps and turned to look at him. He looked so different. Like he was possessed. This was defini

No, this has got to be a dream. Yes, that was the only way to explain this situation. I was dreaming. This was nothing but a bad dream and I was going to wake up any moment from now. I pinched myself over and over to try to wake up from the dream, the pain shooting up my leg telling me that this was not a dream but reality. “I don’t know sir, I did not hear the bell ring or anything so she must have let herself in. I only met her on my way up and I tried to stop her. I am very sorry sir.” I heard Williams mutter from behind me but I could barely move my head. My eyes were stuck on the view in front of me. How could he do this to me? To us? After everything we have been through. What did I do to deserve this? Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I remained rooted in my spot. “How?
