HE cleared his throat to asked again. “Are you scared when I touch you?” he saw Austin peek at her, removing the hair that covered her face.
“Sometimes, but let me know if you’re going to touch me. Is it okay?” she questioned. She averted her eyes from Austin.
“Yea, I can do that.” Silence filled the room, no one spoke to the two of them again until Austin felt the girl’s equal breathing.
Fauzia has fallen asleep, Austin carefully adjusted her position, he leaned over while his hand rested on his head to watch Fauzia sleeping soundly.
It just entered his mind that Fauzia did not take her medicine yet, Austin prayed that she would not be visited by nightmares.

✑ Capítulo 18“MAMA! Mama!” He ran back to his mother who was now surrounded by men.“Run away, Austin! Get out of here!” He didn’t listen to his mother, Austin still fought the men who have been chasing them since they heard them.The father was left inside the household, his father made him and his mother fled.Austin and his mother are the only ones in this fight, the men are too many and even if they are at a disadvantage there he will still fight.They are skilled, he knows he will not last long either.“Austin! Listen to your mother! Get out of here, Austin! ” His mother still insists, tried to make a way for them to get closer.“No! I will help,” he winced when someone cut hi
✑ Capítulo 19WHEN Austin noticed her, he quickly wiped away the tears and smiled at her as if nothing had happened.“Why did you run? You scared me.” He tried to laugh but failed. “Did I do something you did not like? Tell me I will change it.”Even before she could answer him, he abruptly put his forehead on her shoulder, he hugged his arm around her waist.She did not move, her breathing stopped with the sudden move he did.They stayed like that for a minute until Austin spoke. “I saw you froze when you looked at my parents.” Fauzia was surprised by what he said. "You know them?" he asked again. “If you can’t answer me it’s okay. You have your reasons.”She almost screamed when Austin picked her up unt
✑ Capítulo 20“IS that Fauzia?” the man with slightly well-combed hair turned to Austin.Austin didn't answer him, he just walked closer to her after turning off the stove.He immediately greeted her with a smile and only then did she see that Austin had dimples that made his face even more handsome.She was slightly shaken by the thought and looked up again at Austin who was now in front of her."Are you okay?" he pulled her away from the broken vase. "You might get a cut, just wait for me to clean up first." He guided her to sat down on the couch before returning to the broken vase.An unknown man appeared in front of her which surprised her, he greeted her with his wide smile, like Austin he had a dimple and compared to Austin the guy was whiter tha
✑ Capítulo 21AS soon as Fauzia rouse she smiled from ear to ear, she doesn’t know what time she had fallen asleep last night.She can’t help it, she could not erase Austin in her mind all night and she couldn't understand herself anymore with his sudden smile every time she remembered what Austin said to her.`He really has feelings for me?`She’s having a hard time absorbing it in her system.As she purred like a cat her face instantly becomes delightful.Fauzia looked up at where the wall-clock was, she stared at it when she saw that it was already ten o'clock in the morning. She slept for a long time.She got up and before she could even pass by, she noticed a note that was written by Austin.
✑ Capítulo 22MAYBE this is the right time for her to go out and open herself. Fauzia agreed to her before she began to go upstairs.Even before she tidied up the room, she let Austin know where she was about to go. "Austin we're going to the Fab Café." Austin was quick to reply to her.Austin: Sad, I'm not the first to let you out of the house. By the way, your closet is full of your clothes Lystra gave it to you. Always take care muah muah 😘She shook her head and then smiled, even though Austin was not facing her, her heartbeat did not return to normal.Fauzia stood up to the walk-in closet, when she opened it her jaw dropped at what she just saw.`These are so fancy! It doesn't seem to fit me.`She took so long before she c
✑ Capítulo 23AUSTIN recklessly waved his rapier at his opponents, when he had finished them he turned to his friends' directions who are not still done with the other Triumvir men."Go north, Aust, there are more than ten people upstairs." He followed what Larkspur said to him.Due to the fact that the stairs were broken, he expertly climbed up instead. When he got up at the same time the men rushed towards him and pointed the mouth of their guns at him.He used his rapier as his shield, when he was able to get closer to them he did not waste any more seconds and attacked them.He finished them just short of breathlessly, he surrounded every corner of the room until he saw Divine climbing up as well, it was just as small as an insect device that Divine activated and make it walked inside the darkr
✑ Capítulo 24DUE to the fact of exhaustion, he could not avoid sleeping on the flight, he only woke up when his friend woke him up.It was already night when they got home.Before going home, they talked for a while about what happened earlier.“That was one of the best we’ve ever done, that was massive! Seriously,” said Lysandros, still unable to believe what happened.“Yea, I agree. It was one of the deadliest we’ve fought.” Renzo nodded, agreeing as he rotated his swivel chair.They are in SJ Building, they are busy reviewing their recent missions as well as the backgrounds of Triumvirs."I feel so down, they don't deserve this kind of misery," Divine said in a low voice while massaging her foreh
✑ Capítulo 25A NEVER-ENDING pule was heard in the room, she’s sobbing so hard. The sight of a rare pain crossed in her, Austin felt a tight grip on his heart.He can’t take it, seeing Fauzia like this. It’s too hard to watch. Her sobs were loud in his arm, he held her tightly in his arm as if she was gaining her strength using his hug.Even though he didn't want to see her like this he just stayed next to her, he didn't want to leave her side.He would never make her feel that she was alone.She boohooed in his arms like there’s no tomorrow. He can feel his wet shirt because of her tears, he didn’t mind.“Let it out, Fauzia, let it all out until you feel better.” He just brushed hair.He
FAUZIA kept running to nowhere. The place was pure black, no ray of light was seen. A strange disturbing noise lingered, she stopped running then tried to listen to where it was coming. She followed the noise even if the way she was walking was pitch black, Fauzia tried to investigate what type of creature she was hearing. When the noise became more vivid hundreds of bolts of lightning struck her whole. It wasn’t some kind of a creature. It’s more like a scream of a person. She steps back when the sound worsened. The deafening scream of torment rang in her ears. With the force of its effect on her, she did not realize that she was sitting down on the ground. She had even covered her ears but it still not relieved the pain
✑ Capítulo 76AUSTIN caught the shot glass that Neron threw at him. “You should not have come here, second director. “ Neron was rigid, he threw a bottle of rum on his direction again.He had no intention of drinking, all he went to was Neron to find out the answers that was bothering in his mind.“I just wanted to be sure if Emo is safe with you.” Austin has already started filling his shot glass with rum. “You could have just go to us in the right way, I will understand you,” he said calmly to the front.Neron scoffed at what he heard from Austin. “Didn’t you’re friends told you? And come on, you have a wife and I assume she’s already pregnant? You’ll do the same if you were in my shoe.”Austin did not look at Neron, he just listen
✑ Capítulo 75FAUZIA was now completely in front of Austin and he still did not move from his position. She bumped her elbow on his flank.When he woke up, it was as if cold water had poured on Austin because of the shock on his face. “You looked bothered, is there something bothering you, my love?”He wrapped his arm around her back to guide her inside.“It’s nothing. I was just spacing out.” He laughed, it sounded empty. “Why didn’t I saw you arrived?” Austin asked, leaving the feeling behind.“We passed in the back because your great friend bought a lot of things,” she said, referring to Efron.Austin was about to answer when suddenly a bullet burst from inside.Austin felt
✑ Capítulo 74LENNON and Lazzini looked at each other for the fifth time, they have this unknowing looked when they heard another sigh from Austin.Two of Austin’s friends couldn’t remember how many times he sighed from time to time. Because of annoyance, Lazzini asked him.“Dingleberry, what’s up with you? You looked bothered obviously.” He rolled his eyes when he heard an exaggerated sigh from Austin again.“Stop it.” It’s now Lennon’s turn to speak. “You’re annoying.”Austin’s eyes shut closed. He’s frustrated and worried, it’s making him sick. “I don’t really know why I’m feeling like this but there’s a part of me that is hesitating to celebrate Emo’s first year with us outside SJ.&
✑ Capítulo 73HIS head was still on Fauzia’s palm when he heard her moan and get up with her eyes still closed.Austin sat up properly and supported his love to lie down again, he could feel her gasping. His wife has difficulty breathing.“Lie down first…” he said, adjusting her head on her pillow. “How are you feeling, mon amour?”Fauzia still did not open her eyes but now she was holding her forehead and her breathing was already calm.“I’m okay, my head still hurts a bit but it’s tolerable. Wait, what happened?” Her eyes are already open.Austin flipped her hair over her shoulder before leaning to give Fauzia a peck kiss on her lips. “You blackout suddenly, after our exchange of vows. Is there anythin
✑ Capítulo 72THEIR eyes met at the same time before they held each others’ hands. He felt the coldness of Fauzia’s palm even though it was sweating.The priest looked at Austin. “Do you Austin take Fauzia Niryana Alfonso to be your wife, will you love her and comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health. Forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live if do you, say I do.”With eyes smiling the same with his lips while looking at her radiant beauty, he answered, “Yes, definitely. I do.”The priest is now looking at Fauzia. She nervously gulped, still remained composed even if her vision is becoming blurry.“Do you Fauzia take Austin Devereux Sevilla to be your husband, will you love him and comfort him, honor and keep him in
✑ Capítulo 71PALMS are sweating, her hands trembled. Her breathing was making her chest pains as seconds passed.She gulped numerous times. Trying to contain the unexplained pain she’s feeling inside her body. Fauzia can feel the drops of her sweats on her forehead, she fastens fanning herself using her hand. She doesn’t want her makeup to get ruined.The shortness of her breath became harder to hide, she can’t hold it any longer but as soon as the car stopped and her foot touched the ground she tried her hardest to not let the pain overpower her.She waited for the huge door of the church to open and when it finally opened she began walking, as much as she wanted to slow herself down from walking but she couldn’t, she really need to walk a little faster, she felt like her body would give up if she did not speed i
✑ Capítulo 70THERE was a part of her brain that wanted to shout but her body would not allow her even though she could afford to shout for help.The person holding her pulled her carelessly, she just let go of it and kept quiet.She was crying over what was going to happen, with imaginations in her brain playing. Her folded palm sweat as she repeatedly uttered a prayer for her salvation.Fauzia wanted to shout but she could not, as if something was blocking her throat preventing her from speaking.She was stumbling, she did not know where this person was going to take her but she knew they were still in the same place due to the fact that she could still hear the rush of water.In the middle of her rapid heart beating, she can’t stop but to wonder why this person
✑ Capítulo 69WHEN they were satisfied with what they saw, Austin guided Fauzia again to their other destination, they just continued walking in the middle of the tunnel.Fauzia did not know where they were going, she just let him take her anywhere.She saw the light in the tunnel, they were at the end of the tunnel.Austin tore off the leaf of the tree that was blocking their path. Fauzia immediately roamed around the beautiful surroundings.“Whoa… This is paradise…” she gasped when she heard a roaring animal. “Wow! That looks so cool!” She was running towards the stature railing to take a closer look at the white tigers, leaving Austin behind.Austin shook his head and caught up with her.He chor
