Amira’s POV “Her mom committed suicide.”“Was she a psycho?”“What kind of mother kills herself and leaves her daughter alone in this world?”The voices of the other students kept entering my ears, and I felt my blood boiling in anger.If it were in my past life, I would have just cried and run away, but in this life, I am determined to fight.If anyone wants to stoop low, I will stoop even lower.“Sasha, don't you feel ashamed of yourself? You really have the nerve to be talking about my mom? If I remember correctly, your bitch of a mother seduced my dad, who was still married to my mother, and she even lied that she was pregnant with a son and kept coming to make trouble at our house.Then she lied that my mom pushed her and caused her to have a miscarriage; my good-for-nothing father didn't bother to hear my mother out and beat her, causing her to lose my unborn sibling.My mom couldn't take the pain of losing her unborn child and committed suicide!” I yelled at her with tears ru
Leo's POV “Report” I said with an urgent tone as I stared at Seb, who just walked into my office.“Boss, we traced them to the stadium but we lost them in the crowd” he reported with an anxious expression.“Lucian seems to be planning something big this time and he even wants to involve innocent people.What I don't understand is why his people will steal our guard uniforms. I know that whatever they plan to use them for will definitely not be in our favor” I said with a frown as I continued racking my head for hints.“Is there anything happening in the stadium today?” I asked with a serious tone.“Today is the grand finale of the annual talent hunt and the stadium is the venue for it” Seb replied immediately.“Tell everyone to be on guard” I ordered and he nodded before walking out of the office.I walked to the floor to ceiling window and stared in the direction of the stadium with a frown.Ring Ring!The sudden ringing of my phone drew me out of my thoughts and I absentmindedly pi
Chapter 18: It's like they have been programmed Amira’s POV The police officers got down from their cars and headed towards us. Seb immediately got down from the car to talk to them.Leo signaled the driver to lower the window so that we could hear what was going on.“Officers, is there something wrong?” Seb asked with a serious tone.Leo stared at the officers through the window and suddenly picked up his phone and typed in some words before grabbing his gun from under the seat.The driver also got his gun out, and so did Cam. I immediately became tense as she handed Baby Angelo to me.“We are just doing a routine check, sir; tell the others to step down from the cars,” the officer said with a threatening tone.“Okay, I will inform them,” Seb said before walking back to the car.“They are not policemen; the cars are freshly painted, and the uniforms are too new,” Leo said to him as soon as he opened the car door.“They are probably Lucian’s people,” Seb said while gesturing with hi
Amira’s POV The sudden explosion took us by surprise, and everything happened too fast for us to react.The fountain and anything close to it were blown to pieces.“Becca!” Seb shouted while rushing to the debris.That was when I remembered that Becca had gone to fetch the chip before the sudden explosion.We all hurried over, but it was clearly too late, as we saw her lying lifelessly in a pool of blood.Seb took off his coat and covered her body with it.“Just one of those little chips did do much damage; what will happen if the remaining fourteen explode at the same time?” Seb said with a very serious expression.“Now that I know how to prevent them from exploding, I can quickly remove the remaining fourteen so that they could be taken far away as quickly as possible,” I said with an equally serious expression.“Seb, supervise the clean-up here and join us when you are through,” Leo said to him before walking away from the garden.I quickly followed behind him but kept a little di
Amira’s POV It's been a month since the explosion, and just like in my previous life, a nationwide shutdown of any form of gathering that includes schools, churches, and any other social gatherings has been implemented.I have been going to the Marchetti villa for training with Cam. Curtis is the one in charge of my training, and I have gotten pretty good at it.The sudden ringing of my phone pulled me out of my thoughts.“ Lisa”“I think my aunty is becoming suspicious,” she said with an anxious voice.“Why would you think so?” I asked her calmly.“She asked if I was not using the skincare products that she got me, but I told her that I was using them, and she said that she wants to change them to another brand,” she said anxiously.“You are right about her being suspicious; listen to me carefully; you are going to pour out the remaining lotion from the bottle into another bottle and hide it for the time being. I told you that you need to use it for exactly thirty days to be fully
Leo's POV I could feel my blood boiling from anger as I sat in the car, on my way to meet Rusev, one of my biggest competitors.When I called him, I think he got the memo because he chose an abandoned factory as our meeting point.I only took ten of my men with me, Seb and Curtis included.An hour later, we arrived in the abandoned factory, which looked pretty wrecked and old.“The three of you can wait here,” I instructed the three drivers that came with us.I needed them to be ready in case of any unforeseen events.I walked towards the entrance with a serious expression, and as soon as the door was opened, I saw Rusev sitting on a chair with a cigarette in his mouth and a row of armed men at his back.They became very tense when they saw me and my men and immediately took a fighting stance.“Do you really think that they could stop me if I wanted to kill you?” I asked Rusev with a smirk.“Do you think you are invincible? And everyone fears you and trembles at the mention of your n
Amira’s POV It took me a few minutes to snap out of my shock before starting the video from the beginning of the quarrel again.“Why are you against Amira giving Sasha one of her kidneys? She is not even your biological daughter!” Elizabeth's voice came through again, but this time I didn't pause the video and kept watching.“Will you lower your voice? Do you want someone to hear you?!” My father yelled at her angrily.“Do I look like I care? Sasha is your biological daughter, and both her kidneys are bad. I don't see any reason why Amira can't give her one of hers; it's not like I am asking for her life,” she replied angrily as well.“We have to find a way to delay the transplant for another two years, as it is definitely not possible now,” he said to her with a soft tone.“Our daughter's life is at stake, and you are only thinking about money?” Elizabeth asked angrily and hit him a few times on the shoulder.“Will you stop being so dramatic? Am I not doing everything for the three
Leo's POV I didn't know how to respond to her request.How do I tell her about her real family without her misunderstanding me?Should I just tell her and get it off my mind?Lots of thoughts were running through my head, and I was feeling restless.“Leo” Amira’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and that was when I realized that I haven't given her a reply yet.“I asked if you could help me to search for my biological father,” she repeated, but I couldn't see her expression as the light was turned off.“I will get as much information as I can,” I said while rubbing her back softly.“Promise?” She asked, and I felt conflicted.She is one of the smartest people I know, and I could already tell that she was suspecting me.“I promise to find information on your biological father and tell you as soon as possible,” I said after a few seconds.She breathed a sigh of relief and hugged me tightly.“Good night, Leo,” she said with a tired voice.“Good night, dear,” I replied to her, but my
Sasha's POV “Hello everyone” I greeted weakly, and they all cast sympathetic gazes at us.“Don't be afraid, Mrs. Davis; we are here to make sure you get the justice that you deserve,” one of the reporters said with a firm tone, and the others nodded in agreement.I gave my mother a signal to speak, and she weakly held the microphone with tears threatening to fall out of her eyes.“My story is all over the internet; the pain and injustice that I had to bear is known to everyone. I ask the people to give me justice so that I can live the remaining half of my life in peace,” she said, and I handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.“Miss Davis, your mother said you have kidney problems?” A female reporter asked, and I gave a pitiful nod.“You said that Miss Amira is not a part of your family and that her mother ruined your relationship by pinning another man's child on your fiance; please can you elaborate?” Another reporter asked.“My husband and I had been dating since high school;
Sasha's POV I looked at the online comments and everything was in our favor. I felt immense satisfaction from seeing the numerous insults directed at Amira and her mother.“Dear, are you ready?” My mom's voice came from outside the door.I immediately opened the door and saw her in the worn-out clothes that I specifically got for the press conference.“Come in, Mom, let me help with your makeup.” I stepped aside to let her in.She seems quite nervous, which I find really annoying. I am tired of explaining the importance of this press conference to us. We can get everything we ever wanted and quietly leave the country to start our lives all over.“I dreamt of your father last night” she said and started sobbing again.He deserved what happened to him; he wanted to throw us in the streets to fend for ourselves.I couldn't help remembering everything that happened that day.FLASHBACK!Two days after I kidnapped Amira, my father came home in anger. I don't know how he found out about it
Amira’s POV I went back to the house, and Anna directed me to a room that had been specially arranged for me.“Feel at home, dear,” she said with a smile, and I smiled back and nodded my head before closing the door.I had to prepare for school resumption; my things were still in the Davis family house, so I had to go get them.I decided to go to the Davis house tomorrow morning, as it was already too late for me to go there now.Knock knock!Half an hour later, there was a sudden knock on the door, and I immediately opened it.I saw Asher standing outside with a polite smile.“Can I come in?” He asked me, and I took a step to the side to let him in.“Is there something that you need my help with?” I asked him after closing the door.“Not really, I just wanted to let you know that the school you were attending before had some issues, and as a result of these issues, it has been shut down.All students are to transfer to new schools, and my father wants me to take care of your transfe
Amira’s POV We arrived at a huge villa and as soon as our car stopped, lots of people came out of the villa to greet us with smiles.“Welcome home princess” A woman rushed forward and held me in a tight hug.“Um …hello” I said with a smile when she finally pulled away from me.“Welcome home” “She has her mother's eyes”“Massimo will be so happy”Everyone stared at me, the men were happy while the women were doing their best to control their tears.“Come on everyone, let's go inside” Anna said and we all went into the villa.As soon as I stepped in, I saw a table filled with different cuisines.“We didn't know what you would like, so we made a lot” the woman that hugged me earlier said while looking at me with a doting expression.She has this motherly aura that makes one comfortable and relax.“Let's eat first” Carlos said with a smile and we all headed to the dining area.The table couldn't contain everyone, so some had to sit on plastic chairs.“Is she here already?” A girl's voic
Amira’s POV I took a deep breath and slowly walked down the stairs. I heard cheerful voices coming from the sitting room.“Oh, here she is; this is my niece Amira." My uncle introduced me with a smile.“Dear, this is the heir to the Alfredo family, Zain Alfredo and his parents,” he said to me as he led me to the sofa while still maintaining his gentle smile.“You can sit with Zain." He wasted no time and immediately pushed me towards the young man, who has been quiet all since I entered the room.I sat down close to the man and observed him for a while. He is quite handsome and has an overwhelming aura, but he was nothing compared to my Leo.“She is really beautiful, and with the combination of hers and my son's genes, my grandchildren will be a sight to behold,” Madam Alfredo said with a smile.This old lady must be very sick. I haven't even agreed to marry her son, but she is already talking about grandchildren.“Who says I am going to marry your son?” I asked her with a frown.As
Amira’s POV I have been here for a week now, but no one from the Davis family has called to check up on me. I guess they don't care about my life or death.My uncle's family treats me very well; the servants are polite, and his wife and daughter are always welcoming, but I always have a strange feeling deep down in my heart that I can't explain.“Mimi, let's go watch a movie." Joan's voice came from outside, and I quickly tidy up before she pushed the door open.Sometimes, I feel like she was just here to monitor everything that I do. I started having this feeling after I saw her snooping through my phone.“I am ready, let's go,” I said with a smile as we walked out of my room and headed for the'movies room’ as she calls it.She said that she loved to watch movies a lot, so my uncle built her a personal cinema at home. Oh, did I forget to mention that she brags a lot? She does it subtly, but I think she always feels the need to remind me who the through princess was in the family.W
Leo's POV I felt so frustrated and angry as I have been trying to get through to Amira. I don't know what nonsense that bastard has filled her head with already to make her avoid my calls.“Boss, we are almost at the Gattuso mansion,” Seb informed me with a serious tone.I had to go home first to get more of my men to follow me because Ivan wasn't an easy person to deal with, but if he lays a finger on my sister, I will personally send him to hell.As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the mansion, the armed men guarding the mansion immediately became alert as they directly pointed their guns at us.But I wasn't in the mood to deal with some useless guards, so I just moved towards the entrance of the mansion, and just as I had guessed, none of them fired.“Put down your guns; do you know who he is?” An old man's voice came from the side, and I glanced in the fire and saw the butler, whom I was very familiar with.“Uncle Mike,” I greeted him out of formality.“It's good to see
Cam’s POV The last thing I remember was going out of the house to buy Angelo's food. I kept trying to figure out what was going on and who would want to kidnap me.I stared at the two men in front of me; their auras were very strong, their eyes were cold, and there was a strong killing intent in them.I knew that even if I tried to fight my way out of this, there was no chance of success, so I decided to go with the flow until I found a good opportunity.We were in the car for about two hours before it came to a sudden stop. The two men got down and pulled me out of the car.As soon as I saw the familiar villa in front of me, I froze in shock and immediately started struggling to get away from there.The men forcefully dragged me into the mansion and threw me into a room. I looked around the room, and tears flowed down my cheeks rapidly.No…no….noI repeatedly shook my head; it was just a dream, and I will wake up soon. I kept repeating this sentence over and over again in my mind as
Amira’s POV My head felt so heavy as I tried to open my eyes; it took a few minutes for my eyes to adjust to the light.The first thing that came into my view was a white ceiling. I immediately sat up to observe the surroundings.I was on a huge bed in a very luxurious room; from the decorations alone, I knew that nothing in this room was cheap.I carefully got down from the bed and walked towards the door, but before I could get to it, I heard footsteps from outside, and it was followed by the jingling sounds of keys.I hurried back to the bed and pretended to be asleep. The door was opened, and the footsteps gradually approached the bed.The bed sank in as the person sat on the bed.“I know you are awake,” a man's deep voice came from beside me.I couldn't just continue to pretend to be asleep, so I immediately sat up with a fierce expression. I had to be prepared for any unexpected situation.I looked at the man's face, and I was too stunned to react for a while. I just kept stari
