CARTER’S POV

I drew in a breath as I heard my phone ring, and my father’s name appear on the screen. I was surprised to notice I didn’t look forward to talking to him.

As much as I hated my father, I had always enjoyed talking with him, his conversations proved challenging.

I didn’t care to examine the reason why I did not want to speak with him today, but it probably had something to do with damaging the innocence that shone through a certain per of green eyes.

It was easy, just too easy, and because of how easy it was, I felt something I had never felt before, guilt.

"You’ve done some things I’m proud of Carter.” My father started as soon as I picked the call. In the past, I would have been thrilled to hear he was proud of me, but now, I was starting not to care.

"You found just the right girl. What’s her name again – Alexa – Alina?”

"Alvira.” I snapped, trying my best to figure out what my father was playing at before he struck his blow. I always failed at that. Somehow, M

    ALVIRA's povI never comprehended how rapidly someone could infiltrate every aspect of your existence, weaving themselves into your every thought, emotion, and pulse. Carter did that to me, and to this day, I can not determine if it was magic or madness. Whether by his side or not, his influence dominated every moment, immersing me in a realm I had never envisioned. Despite the excitement, there was a subtle sense of unease present. It was an unspoken heaviness that felt like a looming storm.The initial indication of that stress appeared on a peaceful evening stroll. We had recently departed from a charming small eatery, the type that seemed secluded, secure. Carter and I strolled next to each other down a street bordered by trees, his hand occasionally brushing against mine. He appeared deeply engrossed in his thoughts, his typical calm attitude now replaced by a sense of restraint, as if he was concealing a feeling unique to him.Suddenly, he inquired, "Have you ever pondered on

    CARTER's pov It was always there, her, Alvira, in my head, occupying my thoughts. She always slipped in without my knowledge, staying longer than I had expected. But I pushed the thoughts of that away, telling myself that it was because I was on a mission with her that was why I was always thinking of her. Her green eyes, innocent and expressive, bothered me. I remembered how I felt everything I looked into those eyes. They were always innocent, like a window into something pure, and something that would soon be broken. The uncertainty drew me in, there was the thrill of watching as she broke bit by bit in my hands, on her knees at my mercy, completely used. Somehow, that stirred something deep and unexpected within me. As our last meeting played in my mind, I reached for my coffee. I took a sip of the dark bitter liquid as my mind wandered to how she had quickly opened up to me, seeking comfort while contemplating whether to trust me or not. It was amusing that she thought that s

    CARTER's PovSomeone clearing their throat caught my attention and my eyes darted over to see Collins, my personal assistant, standing rather awkwardly in front of the open door, looking at every single spot but at me. "Who granted you the permission to come into my office?" I asked him with a voice that was laced with irritation. "And what the fuck do you want Collins?" I emphasized with angry eyes.“Um, sir, your father, he might have placed a call to your private phone. He said he was not able to reach you and asked me to check up on you,” He started before I could cut him off. “Okay, and what else did he tell you to do?” I barked out harshly. The thought of my father always left a bitter taste in my mouth. It was always something sinister with him. “I think he may be on his way over because he said to let you know this so that you would ‘tidy up’”“Tidy up?” I questioned him with raised brows, “what the fuck does he mean by that?”“Um, I- I do not think that I know that sir.

    CARTER’S POV I watched her with hooded eyes, taking in the graceful way she sat on the chair. She had on a touch of makeup today and a glossy kind of lip color that made me think of wanting to kiss her pink soft lips. “I um… I just wanted to see you…… I kind of missed you that is all,” she said to me. I felt a jolt of excitement as well as something else that I could not place my fingers on. But I refused to dwell on it, settling for just a nonchalant smirk in return. It was rare for any woman to come over to see me just because they missed me. The rest of them only came if I had been the one to directly call them over for their services or whenever they actually felt bold enough to come over because they needed some money. All in all, coming to see me was a dare that most of them did not dare to take. Well, there was a first to everything and Alvira was definitely a first. And here she was, all because she wanted to see me. If it were any other girl, I would have ha

    ALVIRA’S POVHe was too good to be true, I thought as I walked up to my shared apartment. He was the definition of everything I vowed to stay away from but then, there was this gentleness he possessed that made me want to both run as far away from him as possible but still want to run back to him and just be with him for the rest of my life. He provided me with so much safety and comfort that I could no longer see myself being that way with anyone else. It was like he was my knight in shining armor. No, he was more mysterious than a knight in shining armor. He was my dark knight. He was so dangerous and influential and dominant and he made me weak in the knees but then, he was so gentle with me, even when he used harsh words with me, it was like he was trying to toughen me up and a part of me liked it. It revealed in the feeling of being submissive to him. It was like I could just look at him and feel all my worries fade away. My mind went back to the day we first met at the stri

    ALVIRA’S POVIt was well past midnight and Clarissa had fallen asleep halfway into the movie which was about two hours ago. I didn’t have the mind to wake her up when she looked so peaceful in her sleep. Her illness always left her weak and even the littlest activity left her breathless and so, she had to rest very often. I had no issue with this. If anything, I wouldn’t mind if she didn’t do anything and just rested. All I ever wanted was for her to get better.I had tried to sleep for hours and hours to no avail and I had ended up tossing and turning on my bed, my mind in a turmoil as it tried to win the fight it apparently had with my heart. I couldn’t help the fear in my heart of falling completely in love with Carter. Yes, I was already on the edge and I knew that he was going to be one of the main people in my life but for some reason, I still felt like I was still holding back from completely falling off the edge and completely letting myself go hoping he would catch me and n

    ALVIRA’S POV“Yes, sweets?”“Um, I wanted to ask you something…..” I muttered, fiddling with the hem of my top as I looked down at the floor. He was not here but I could still feel the intensity of his stares and felt intimidated by it. It was like he could see right through me. Like he could see deep inside of me, into my heart and see my feelings and thoughts and secrets. “Sweets, you are going to have to be louder than that if you need me to actually hear what it is that you are saying. I can barely hear you. What did I say about speaking to myself?” He asked, his tone stern as though he was scolding a four year old child. “I- I -I’m sorry.” I murmured. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I did not like being scolded. I know I should be stronger than this but sometimes, it’s just so hard to be strong. Besides, it’s Carter. I don’t know how to be strong around him. I always felt like a child around him. Safe. “What was that?” He asked, his tone still stern like a parent talking

    ALVIRA’S povI stared blankly into space as I struggled to focus on the online class that I was currently participating in to no avail. My attempt was greatly futile. I sighed inaudibly as my mind kept drifting back to the last time that Carter and I hung out.I had been unable to sleep the entire night and he had come over to see me at my place. I had not even been expecting to see him.Apparently, he had had other plans other than just coming over for us to talk, plans that I knew but did not want to speak about.I remembered standing in front of my mirror, staring at myself while adjusting my hair for what felt like the hundredth time. I had spent the entire day thinking about my life and the one I was going to have with Carter, a man that I had met on my first night working as a waitress in a nightclub.He was no doubt charming and sweet. He always had a smile that made my stomach flutter with butterflies. But I knew that he was no ordinary man. He would also have a dark side to h

I shook my head, embarrassed as I noticed all eyes on me. “Ma’am, is everything alright?” Jane asked in a quiet voice. “Huh? Yeah. Um, sorry, I just zoned out for a second. What were we talking about?” I asked. “We were asking if you had any questions on the subject, ma.” Jane said. I blinked. I had no idea what subject they were even referring to. “Oh! Okay, um, let me see.” I flipped open my notebook, skimming through the pages for anything that I could ask only to come up short. I raised my head, seeing their expectant faces and I immediately felt bad. “You know what? How about we adjourn this meeting, yes? I’m so sorry but I just have a lot on my plate right now. I am really sorry.” I apologized. “Of course ma. Whenever you’re ready.” She replied, smiling. “Ladies, gentlemen, we will meet again next week to continue our review

    CARTER’S POVI stood by the bleachers watching as the players practiced. The playoffs were in a week and the tension was high as they played, going over the same routines over and over. One particular player stood out, holding my attention for more than half of the time I stood there. He was the man that now held Alvira's heart. The past month has been with me constantly trying to get her to forgive me and speak to me and every single time, I was met with a brick wall. But I was not going to give up anytime soon. I was going to keep up until I knew that she had finally forgiven me. I have already come to terms with the fact that she can never be mine again. I mean, I blew up any other chances myself when I broke her heart. The new private investigator I hired had told me of her relationship with the man and how she spent every Sunday evening at their family house for dinner. It tore at my heart that I could not be the one to provide her with the love and care that she had always

    ALVIRA’S POVHow could he have possibly found me? Oh my God, help me!I could barely sleep for days. Seeing Carter for the first time since that unfortunate night had brought back a flurry of emotions. I did not know how to feel or react and somehow ended up having a panic attack. I was grateful that Clarissa had been there to help me or I would have passed out. I could no longer focus at work or anywhere. I would find myself zoning out just thinking about him. He had not aged a bit ever since. He still looked as handsome as he was when he broke my heart. He had also grown out his beards just a little bit. Exactly how I liked it. But it was too late to think about that now. It has been a week and a few days since he showed up back in my life and I hate to admit that I have not stopped thinking about him. Truth is, I never stopped thinking about him. One doesn’t just forget about one’s first love. How could I? He was my first in so many ways, I had made so many memories with him and

    CARTER’S POVGod, she was breathtaking.“Hello, Alvira. Where have you been? I have been looking everywhere for you.” I started.I looked at her, she looked like a breath of fresh air in the busy streets of New York. I could not stop looking at her. She had gotten even prettier, she looked plumper in all the right places and my God, did she look delicious. It felt like it was just us two in the world and all I could do was continue to look at her like my life depended on it. Oh! What a relief to finally set my eyes on her. I have been looking for her for ages and here she was, standing in front of me, looking just as radiant as she did a year ago, if not more in her simple but elegant outfit.She was dressed in a simple plaid shirt and plain grey pants, the outfit holding just the right parts of her. Her hair was in a sleek ponytail and she had some cute fancy hair pins to hold off extra strands or just to accessorize, I could not tell but they looked gorgeous on her all the same.I

I will go through them in a minute and then we will have the meeting with the finance and marketing department on the next step. Please schedule it for tomorrow morning. I want to have this project done and over by the end of this week.” I said. “Of course, ma. I will get to that immediately.”“Thank you. And one more thing, Jane..”“Yes?”“How are your studies? I hope you are taking them seriously?” I asked.“Of course ma’am. Trust me, passing my finals is all that matters to me right now.” she enthused.“That is the spirit. Keep it up.” “Thank you ma’am.

    ALVIRA’S POVIt had been three months since I was discharged from the hospital and began living with the Zimmerman family and all I can say is that, if it has been nothing but a blessing being with these lovely souls. I was able to not only see but to also have a first hand experience of what unfiltered love felt and looked like. It was such a breath of fresh air to see James continuously fawning over Cecil. I loved watching the way they would flirt with each other endlessly, her grin permanently plastered on her face. It was just so refreshing. Lucas always gagged and behaved like he was disgusted by it and it pleased me to continually tease him about it endlessly. The look on his face was always priceless. Clarissa had finally come back to the states and it has been a somewhat smooth ride all along. It was refreshing to be around people who were there to help me get out of tough times. I was not completely out of the woods yet but I could already see the light at the end of the tu

    CARTER’S POVEverything happened so fast. One minute I was living my best life in Greece, and the very next, I was boarding a ten hour flight back to New York, sitting uncomfortably and impatiently as I counted down the seconds before we landed. With the way I was reacting, one would dare think that I had a very loving relationship with my father and would be so devastated if anything were to happen to him. Well, a part of it was true but another part of it was also not true. True, my father and I were not the best of pals and hardly got along very well, but that did not mean that I wished any bad thing to come to him. I just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible. I was grateful to Larry for his ability to think on his feet. Ever since the call had come in, he had been the one making the arrangements and making sure that everything went smoothly. He had arranged for the plane to be ready in an hour and had the staff come over to help me arrange my stuff into the car bef

    CARTER’S POVLife as a self made multimillionaire was great. I got to have the most beautiful girls, make crucial decisions, spend money however I wanted to, traveled to places I wanted to around the world, and drove only the latest versions of the most expensive cars in the world. I mean, with a face and body like mine coupled with pockets as deep as mine, I was unstoppable. Business was booming and the profits were tripling. The investors were happy which meant more money was being reinvested back into the business. Larry, being the fuvking genius that he was, was relentless when it came to making deals and negotiating with clients. I could never have asked for a more perfect partner. Now, all that was left was to finally be able to cash in on the inheritance money that was sure to come in anytime soon. Although, with the amount of money that I now had sitting in my numerous bank accounts and investments, I wasn’t so interested in the will as much as before. But still, who wasn’t

    ALVIRA’S POVLife with the Zimmerman family has been nothing but wonderful. It felt good to finally get to have a glimpse of what being in a family feels like. I watched as Lucas and his family interacted and I had to admit, it kind of stung. All I have ever wished for growing up was to experience the joy of being in a loving family. As an orphan, I had been passed from one orphanage to another, always hoping to the forces that be that somehow, I would get accepted into a home where I would experience the love and care and acceptance of a family. But alas, that was not to be my lot in life. It was nice to finally experience a bit of love from a family. Cecil had been a sweetheart to me ever since she finally met me. I remember how she had held me c like I was some fragile piece of china. “We are going to make sure we help you get through this, okay?” I remember her words. It had taken every single part of me to hold back from bawling my eyes out. She just had the calmest of faces,
