Amira's POV
I reached out for the tray of mouth-watering foods that are on the table. This looks so yummy! I tried first the fries, and I don’t know if this is from mcdonalds or what. But this is fire! I also ate the whole burger, and all of the foods here. Wow that’s yummy!
I wiped my mouth after I ate. Only 15 minutes have passed since I have been left alone in this office. I looked around again. What should I do? This is boring. Well, not until my eyes landed on the books. SO MANY BOOKS! I want to read!
I stood up the sofa and half run to the books. Damn all my fav’s are here! This is heaven! I got a book entitled ‘The stars of us’. Just as I was about to read the first page of the book, my phone vibrated from my pocket. Ohhh, it’s Elocin. I know what she wants, probably can wait to hear what I was gonna say so she would like to talk about it on the phone. Gosh!
“Hello” I answered.
“Hi! I just got home! I don’t have anything important to do so…… do you mind telling me the news now? I'm exited!”
“Seriously? On the phone? This is a long story girl. I think it'll be better if I just tell you when I see you.”
“Ohhh I love long stories! Tell me now! GO! I don't mind staying on the phone for hours!”
“Alright but promise me that you’ll wait until I finish before you give any reaction? This will shock the hell out of you so wait for me to finish? Okay?”
“Alright sure! Tell me now!”
“Okay. So remember the man I told you that saved me from that crazy taxi driver?”
“YES. What about him?”
“Well I just found out that he is Elixier Villamorannas, the CEO of Villamorannas Contruction company-”
“WHATTTT?! Omg omg! Then he’s crazy rich? O my god what about him now-”
“I told you to let me finish first didn’t I?”
“Oh okay. Sorry. Go on now hihi”
This girl doesn’t ran out of energy.
“Well, I found that out when I went here in the company for a backround check. When we we’re at his car the day he saved me, I saw in his car the logo of this company, so I asked him if he worked here. I also have said that I’ll have a presentation in that company about a proposal from my school and that proposal means my scholarship. But he did not answer at all. So when I went here, the guards won’t let me enter because I don’t have a pass. But luckily, he saw me. And he let me enter. And…….. I might have said something, a joke, that I didn’t know it was true so I just joked about it but turns out it was actually true and made him pissed. So yeah. We’re getting married.”
“WHAT THE?!!!!! GETTING MARRIED?!! What the- what are you talking about?!Are you just daydreaming Amira?! I know that he’s probably so rich but don’t be attracted to fucking money! How are you two getting married when you just met two days ago?! Amira?! It’s just a span of two fricking days! What was that? He saved you so you owe him and now you’re paying yourself to him?! What the actual shesh was that?!”
“Calm down, Elocin. Please calm down. I’ll tell you okay? So it was that uhm…. The joke I was saying… it turned out that it was really a personal joke. I can’t tell you what it is but if you only know you would really believe me. So he also did me a favor. He signed the proposal already and I don’t have to present tomorrow. My scholarship is saved. And he wants me to do him a a favor too. So uh….. yeah,”
“And you agreed?! How can you fricking agree on that Amira?! That’s a commitment! How are you so sure that he won’t do harm to you? That he won’t abuse you or even just do something bad?! That’s marriage you are talking about Amira! And of all the girls, why should it be you?!”
“Yeah, that’s what I plan to ask him. I already taught about that Elocin. But don’t worry, I’ll tell you immediately if he do something bad to me. And infact, I’ll take care of myself and I know basic martial arts. Don’t worry.”
“That’s still not enough Amira! How did you- why did you agree? How could you agree to something like that?! My gosh Amira. I’m sorry I act like this and maybe you are calling me over reacting now but I’m just worried! So so worried about you Amira! But, I know you’re not just a girl, you are a grown woman now.You already know what’s right and what’s wrong.You can already decide on your own. But I hope, and I demand updates all the time Amira!”
Okay okay, chill,” I chuckled on the phone. I understant her and I’m lucky I have her. “ I will give you updates always, don’t worry.” even if she can’t see me, I smiled while on the phone. In this world where it’s home for devils, she is my angel. I love you so much Elocin.
“Okay. But you shouldn’t expect that I will stop worrying about you okay? And can I please meet that man? I will judge him real quick based on his appearance.”
“Hahaha! You are still so judgemental just like before! You think you will know what kind of man he is just by looking at him? You stupid! Hahaha”
“Well, a person’s personality reflects on the way she or he dresses. So if he dresses nice, and have a nice sense of fashion, then he’s a decent man.”
“Well of course he dresses nice! He has lot’s of money!”
“Oh, yeah. Forgot about that sorry.How stupid shesh. Hahaha”
“Hahaha”
After the call, I really got bored. I am just there, in the sofa of his big big office, staring at the table. What will I even do in here?
I got tired reading, I got tired scrolling on my phone. And I already finish all my foods. What am I supposed to feel!
I stood there and went to the door. The double doors opened for me. As I was about to walk and get out there, his secretary went up to me.
"Uhm, Miss, Sir Villamorannas told me not to let you out." She said and then she smiled at me.
"But I'm bored there miss. I don't want to stay there. My boredom will kill me for sure."
I said and continued to walk but she got in my way again.
"I-I'm really sorry Ma'am, I can't let you out," she said to me and gave me a nervous smile. I know she don't want to break Elexier's command, but she also don't want me to tell Elexier to fire her. I know what she's thinking. That I am a very important girl that's why I am in his strict boss' office.
"Fine. You can be with me." I said, marking it with aodd. She smiled nervously again at me. But she can't do anything, I've already said it plus, I am already walking away. She followed me nervously.
"Where is Elexier now?" I asked her.
"Uhm Ma'am he's on a meeting and that meeting cannot be disturbed-"
"Ohhh there he is!" I said that cutted her off when I saw Elexier in a room. And yes, he's in a meeting with people. Many people. They all look so serious.
I walked towards that room and stood in there for while. I can see them all through the glass walls. I can say he's really so hot. He looks so passionate and focused. No wonder this company of his is really taking off and is always consistent on the top.Why don't he have a girfriend? Probably because of his attitude.
I watched him as he explains something in front. He is so serious, his hand gestures and the way his mouth opens every word. He is undeniably a hot CEO. I shook my head lightly and erased those thoughts. I can't think of him that way! I'll be in trouble! My heart will! In a big one!
Then after him, he was replaced by someone else. His gaze turned my way. Then he saw me. He stared at me using his serious eyes, that same hot expression he makes. I tilted my head slightly and then smiled at him. His brows just raised at me. And then I saw him cut the person speaking in front. He also called for someone to do something.
Then the man he ordered something to got out that meeting room and approached me.
"Ma'am, Mr. Villamorannas requested your presence in the meeting room," he said as soon as he got to me. I flased a shock expression and pointed at my self, confused if that is really true. Then I looked back at the meeting room and all the people there paused the meeting and are now looking straight at me. I feel anxious for all their stares gosh! So I didn't say a word and just followed this man inside.
As soon as I enter, their eyes just stick with me, and when I got in the front where Elexier is sitted, he stood up and held me in my waist.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, my wife," he then spoke. I looked at him in a shock expression but I replaced it by my normal expression quickly as I don't want him embarrased in front of this big people "Amira Villamorannas."
Elexier’s POV: “I want you to fix this Elexier. I don’t want any trouble here. Make sure it’s all alright in a week. If not, I bet you already know what will happen to you.” his voice is serious although it's not loud, you can hear the power and emphasis. *Phone beeps* He ended the call as soon as he spit those words. I furiously put my phone back to my pocket and took a deep breath. I placed my hand on my forehead trying to calm down and think properly. I am driving to my company and just stopped to answer the call. Living in this world coming from this kind of family is exhausting. But I can't do anything. This is the life I have. I have to life the rest of my life with them. Or do I? I took a deep breath again and the engine of my car roared to life when I finally started it again. There is a problem in the plane where our drugs are kept. Not ours, actually. His, my Dad. I don’t want to do this. I didn’t want to. I have never want to. I didn’t imag
Amira’s POV I reached the Villamorannas company by this day's afternoon. I looked at the whole of the building from outside, This building is extremely huge. But that is not shocking. They zae one of the biggest in the country. Or maybe even in the whole Asia. I walked towards the door. As I was about to eneter, the jtwo tall guards stopped me. "Excuse me Ma'am, do you have a pass?" One of them said that made me stop. I didn't know that they need a pass here to get in? I scartched my neck nervously. As I couldn't show them anything, I just pretended that I am finding something in my bag. "Good morning Sir," the two guards said at the same time to someone who I think is behind me. I looked back because maybe I'm blocking his way. When I looked back, I saw the familiar face of that one guy who saved me from the taxi driver. My eyes widened in shock. They called him sir so that means he really works here! "What's happening here?" he then sp
Elexier’s POV I may not show it, but damn I’m so embarrassed that she have read those files! Frick! Next time I won’t leave such things on my desk! Frick! At the elevator, good thing she remained silent and did not tease me about what she saw. In her personality, if I’m a close friend of her, I know she’ll tease me. And I can say, she has a good attitude. I have a camera on my office. I can clearly see her and hear her. I heard what she and her friend talk about in the phone. I know that I’m violating her privacy, but I can’t help but to admit that she’s lively and funny. She also get’s shy easily. Earlier, I locked her in between my arms while I’m leaning on the bookshelves. Funny and I guess, cute? I don’t know. All I know is she blushed. I can see how hot her cheeks are that time. It’s a new thing to me. I never made Athena’s cheeks blush before. I didn’t even know if I’ve already made her hearth flutter. It’s just that they are so different. Athena is intimidatin
Elexier is a bad person. He is mafia. And I was very scared of him at first. Who wouldn’t be? He can kill me anytime he wants, beat me up or anything he wanted. But, he is also soft I guess, he fires employee whenever he wants, but he gives them last salary worth 3 months of their work. I know because I have read in his table. He isn’t all bad after all. I was just staring at the window when I suddenly felt hunger. Ugh! I just ate! But I’m hungry again huhu. No Amira, hold that! I continued watching the view avoiding to think about food, but, I thing a cold Ice crream will be so tasty as the sun shines so bright and it’s so hot. Then the taste of McDonalds buger and fries will also be good uhmmm. Huhu I’m so hungry. I looked at Elexier who is also facing the window. And ohhh! A little trivia. I made him smile earlier! I thought he’s the kind of guy who always intimidate people, a kind of person who isn’t built to smile. Just poker face all the time. But heck no
Elexier’s POV It makes me think, should I still let my family do this stuff? I know I’m not a good person all in all, but I am also not that bad to let all this continue to run and grow. I don’t want to let my family down. I don’t want them to be imprisoned. But I also don’t want what they are doing. I don’t know what to do damn. I’m educated. I know the harmful effects of drugs to a person. And it also ruins their life. Many people are being sent to jail, or worse, being killed just because of that. Dad loves to see people dying. He kills people. I still remember how he killed a family in the park. In front of me. A Husband and his wife, and their 5 year-old daughter. “Uhm Elexier, well, uhh sorry. I shouldn’t have made us go in there. I didn’tknow it was gonna happen.” Amira suddenly spoke in the middle the debate on my head. I was shocked for a bit beacuse why is she saying sorry, and I am also not used to a girl apologizing to me. “
Elexier’s POV Amira refused when I told her that she should move in with me this night. She said that she would still want to go home to her best friend’s boarding house so we drove her there. She said she will still about it. That I must still wait for a week or so before she would. I felt a little guilty because we just bought 3 dresses for her, nothing else. All the dresses that she wants to try, we’re stolen by Athena. She said that she left that on the fitting room, and she asked Athena if she could get them out but the girl just eyed her and told her to leave. Athena even mocked her in front of the store manager and 2 sales lady. That’s a big insult to the ego of anyone. I know she’s upset. Tomorrow, she also said that she wants to go to school. So I let her. *Phone rings* “Hello” I answered the phone, “Boss, we already returned the drugs to your father. The cops don’t even noticed. I think they don’t know yet. But later on, I know they’
Amira’s Pov A few normal day has passed. I jumped on my bed because of exhaustion.I’m so tired. My energy is completely drained. Today, my professor and the dean thanked me because the Villamorannas signed the proposal. Its a normal day for me.There are so many works as usual. So many projects and group works, research and presentation and many many more. Damn college. I didn’t agree on Elexier’s plan that I’ll be out with him and not go to school for a week. I also said I still want tostay andlive with my best friend in her dorm.I’m still not ready to live somewhere where I don’t know people. I’ll admit that I can’t face him today because of what happened yesterday. The girl, on the store, turns out to be his ex.Well, I have no problem with that. I don’t care about his past relationships or what so ever but his ex doesn’t have a really nice attitude towards me. He mocked me in front of the two sales lady and the manager. I know Elexier didn’t want that t
Elexier’s POV “Make sure you have all the things, the guns, granade, anything that you will need to sabotage father and Logan’s drug dealing operation tomorrow. Make sure they are loaded and complete. I don’t want you to fail. I don’ want any evidence that will lead them to the conclusion that it is me. Even a small finger print or a foot print. Lean your path. You know what will happen to you if you fail. Make sure to call the cops once you already captured everyone there. DO NOT KILL ANYONE. I don’t want anyone killed. Shoot them, but shoot them in their foot and arm or any body part that they wont die. Cover your faces and do not let any body see them.Make sure that they don’t hurt you too so shoot them where they won’t be able to move. And most importantly,stick to the plan. You got it?” “Yes boss” Kevin answered. I am here today at the apartment I gave my men to be their place.We are just having
Elexier’s POV The musical band started to play their instruments an create sound that is so refreshing to the human ear. The flower girls and boys started to throw their flowers every where, and is gently being carried away by the wind. Bubbles are floating everywhere. All the guest started to walk on the red carpet on the floor of this church we are all in. This day has come. The day when I marry the girl of my life, who I am ready to spent my whole life with. The girl who I have suffered so many things with, and we conquered it. The strongest girl I know. The most beautiful girl in my eyes. My best man stood beside and tapped my shoulders. I am nervous. Yes I am a little bit. But the happiness I am feeling still shines the most. I met you in that dark rode when somebody tried to do something bad to you, and I saved you. It may look like I have saved you many times, but no. You are the one who saved me. You
2 years laterI am here outside my school, feeling the breeze of the air that is touching my skin. And as this engineering school of mine is near the Manila bay, where you can watch the beautiful sunset, I stood here and watched that masterpiece of the nature. The sky is in the color of orange, yellow, and a hint of blue. Which calms my mind. I hugged myslef as I can feel the cold breeze. I took a deep breath, and smiled. I can’t help ut to smile. Everything is over. Everything have fall in their places. There is no more of everything. I’m at peace. We are at peace. Of my best friend slash brides maid Elocin, and my fiance Elexier. Yes, that’s right, fiance.Looking back now, I just realized how strong we have been in that year. I’m so proud of us.I am eating fruits when the door slowly opened. It swallowed Elexier, who is wearing a suit, a formal suit, and I guess he just g
Amira’s POVI woke up because of a dazzling light in my face again. Seeing that, I felt a little nervous as I may have a trauma for lights because of everything that has happened. I looked around and found relief when I saw that this place isn’t like those place where I am finding myself to be in for the last, days? I don’t know. What happened? All I remember is somebody injecting me with something and I fell asleep? Where am I.UI slowly let my eyes look around more on this place. There’s couch, there are chairs, there is a table and in it are foods. Am I…… Am I and a hospital?I looked at my hands and saw that I have a dextrose connected to me. So I am in the hospital? I am in the hospital! I’m alive! They have saved me! I felt happy and my hearth was suddenly full of warmth. I feel my lips forming a curve for this feeling I have right now. This can’t be exp
Elexier’s POVI was so furious aster that call with him. And what make me even more furious that I don’t exactly know where they are! I cursed so loud and placed my hands on my forehead, thinking of the next thing I should do. And then I thought of something suddenly. The call. I picked up my phone from my pocket and touched that ended call. I just hope Amira’s location is on, so could track where she is. I won’t let anything happen to her.Few more minutes of doing it, I finally got her location. Gotcha!Barangay 163, Pasay City.I quickly started the engine of my car and get out there as soon as I found out where she is. I just hope I arrived there in time. Because if I don’t, I don’t know what will I do to that Lozano. This can be the first time I’ll be killing somebody.While driving, I called General Santos to tell that i
Elexier’s POVI was driving my car fast trying to chase and follow the route of that white van. The police’s gave me some options on where the van went as they don’t know where exactly it go. I cursed so loud inside my car thinking what they might do to Amira. I swear, they will pay if they tried to give even just a small bruise at Amira! My breathing is hitching when my phone suddenly rang. I looked at it and saw Amira’s number calling. I stepped on the break very quickly and answered the call.“Hello Amira?! Where are you?! Are you okay?! Where are you?!” I immediately asked continuously when I answered the call. I didn’t heard Amira’s voice, instead I heard a man’s evil laugh on the other line.‘Elexier, Elexier, Elexier. Oh Elexier my dear, why are you so worried about this girl huh?” The man spoke and then laughed again. Upon hearing that famili
Elexier’s POVAfter that talk with Amira, she decided that she should get their things first in their boarding house so that they could stay here. I didn’t agree with her, because I’m afraid that something might happen when she leave here. We can’t still tell how our enimies are thinking. They might be planning for their next move now. I told her that I can just buy them new clothes because I really can,I really would. But she insisted. She said that that is not needed.“Amira, it will be better that way. You are much safer that way. I’ll just buy things for you. For the both of you. We don’t know if you’re safe out there.Mr. Lozano’s men could be everywhere.” I said to her as they walks to the door, already leaving. I followed them.“That’s a no need Elexier. I understand your concern but if we are able to get here safe, we will get back here safe.
Amira’s POVThe whole night that day, my eyes are closed but my mind and my senses are awake. I can’t sleep thinking bout things that might happen. And I can’t take it if Elocin will be hurt and involved because she shouldn’t be. It’s midnight now. I didn’t dare to open any window to check if those men are still here.My phone’s alarm beep and it woke me up. I didn’t know if that was what you call sleep. It felt like just a second. I think I just took a nap. I picked up my phone from the table near my bed and saw that it’s 6; A.M in the morning. And I fell asleep at 4:00 A.M. I guess. I got up the bed and walked up to my door and slowly opened it. When I got out my room, I saw the lights on the kitchen are open. I walked to there and saw Elocin making breakfast.“Oh, you’re already awake,” She greeted at me when I entered the
Elexier’s POV I drove Amira home to her house and my mom and I drove directly to my condo. My mom immediately got in her room and I guess, she already dozed of. I went to my room and took a shower. This day is so tiring. But it’s so fun. I can’t help but to smile while on the shower. Oh man, I guess this is bad. I’m doomed. Amira already found her way on how to get in my system and drive me crazy. And I am literally in here in the shower, taking a bath, thinking of her. But I just can’t help it. I got out the shower and blow dried my hair. I then let my self fall in my bed. I’m just staring at the ceiling, waiting my eyes to close and sleep. But even if I already close my eyes, Amira’s image is there. I chuckled at my self. I’m crazy. But my smile faded away when I realized what will happen tomorrow. We’ll be visiting my father, in the jail. Mom have requested this to me. And she have already waited for so long to
Amira’s POVThe last one day remaining on that vacation is awesome. I was so happy that straight 3 days. I felt like I’m at ease. Away from the problems. In that day three of our mini vacation, Mr. Suarez and Elexier held a business meeting for 3 hours. And then, the whole day, we spent that in fun. We did all the things that everyone enjoys. We did scuba diving, and we swam on the seashore. (as I don’t want to go further.) and other things that make me so happy. My heart, is filled with cupcakes and rainbows. No other than that. Then at exactly 5 P.M., we left the resort and then took our flight back to manila. We arrived in Manila at midnight after that tiring but fun day. Elexier drove me to my best friends boarding house. We got out the car as soon as we arrive there.I guess Elocin is still awake, as usual.“Uhm, Thanks Elexier. Thanks for driving me here and, also thanks for that vacation. I enjoyed it.&r
