Amira’s POV As soon as we entered the mansion, we noticed a large gathering of people in the sitting room.“My poor child!”“Only God knows the terrible things that must have happened to her.”“I have been preparing for her arrival for days now, but how would I have known that fate had other plans for us?”Just from the annoyingly high-pitched voice alone, I already knew that it was definitely my stepmother being a drama queen as usual.I gestured for Seb to stop so that I could observe what was going on properly.“Young man, are you sure that the car you saw belongs to my family?” My father asked the young man in front of him."Yes, sir, I am one hundred percent sure that it's your car. The late driver and I used to be very good friends.I saw how the car was attacked by bandits, and everyone inside was killed,” the young man said.He was clearly lying, but his tone was quite convincing. He turned around to whisper something to one of the men behind him, and that was when I saw his
Amira’s POV I really didn't expect Sasha to make such a vicious move on my first day. I definitely wasn't going to allow myself to die so easily. I was thinking of how to stop myself from getting hurt when I suddenly felt a strong hand around my waist.After taking a deep breath, I turned to see Sebastian's worried face as he stared at me without blinking."Thanks, Seb; I am fine,” I said before turning around to glare at Sasha.She immediately hid behind her mother, who was also glaring at me maliciously.“Thank you so much for saving my daughter again,” my father said while checking my body for possible injuries.“I am fine, father; I didn't fall,” I said, but it didn't ease his tensed expression.“Don't you know that it is not safe to run on the stairs? I know the house you grew up in doesn't have this, but you need to learn this for your safety,” my stepmom said with an expression that showed nothing but concern.I got the message anyway; she might be able to fool my father, but
Leo's POV “Cam, go get ready for the Giovanni’s party,” I said to my sister, who was starting to get on my nerves.“I brought a dress for the party, and I also got a suit for you,” she said with a smirk.“You really think you are smart, right?” I asked with a tired sigh.“I don't see anything wrong with spending a little time with my big brother,” she said with a slight grin, which intensified my headache.“Just tell me what you want already,” I said with an irritated voice.“I want you to get her admission to my school,” she said with a pleading tone.“Her? You mean Amira?” I asked with a surprised tone, as I wasn't expecting her to make such a request.I was expecting her to ask for more money or beg me to take away her bodyguards, but not this.“I really like her, and she is not scared of me like the others. I will also be able to keep an eye on her for you,” she said in one breath.“I will have a word with Mr. and Mrs. Giovanni about her admission,” I assured her with a smile.“I
Amira’s POV “Hello, I know that I am handsome, but you don't need to be so stunned,” Bryan said with a cocky smile.His voice snapped me out of my shock, and I just scoffed at him.“You wish,” I said with a sneer, and his expression immediately changed.“Amira, why are you being rude to him? I brought my friend to meet you, but you are being rude to him. Do you know who he is?” Sasha asked angrily.“He is probably an asshole that wants to get into your pants,” I replied with an innocent smile.“You better watch your mouth, bitch, or I will.”“You will what punk?” Camilla's voice interrupted him from behind us.I turned around to see her holding two glasses of wine with a very angry expression.“She was the one that was being rude to me,” he explained with a frightened expression.I can't believe I fell in love with such a punk in my last life. Well, in my defense, he was more mature than he is now.“Didn't I just warn you to stay away from her?” Cam asked Sasha, who was looking scare
Leo's POV When I saw Mrs. Talkoa wailing, I knew that they must have gotten the news of their son's death.Mr. Talkoa’s face was really satisfying to look at, and I couldn't help giving him a slight smirk.“I will kill you!” He rushed over angrily and pointed his gun at my head. I knew he didn't have the guts to pull the trigger, as he clearly knows what end will await his entire family if he acts so stupidly.I didn't have to say anything, and I just kept staring at him with a smile. Seb and five other men came in and pointed their guns at his wife, who was already shivering in fear.“I have no idea why your gun is pointed at me, but I will give you until the count of three to get your little toy off my face,” I said with a calm tone.“My son knew nothing about my plans,” he said with an emotional voice."1,” I started counting without even giving him a glance.“You really think that you are untouchable, huh?” He said this with his eyes now turning red."2,” I said with the same cal
Leo's POV As soon as I walked out of the venue, my body suddenly went weak, and I could feel a wetness on my shoulder.“You are bleeding, get into the car quickly ” Cam said worriedly.“Zach came with us, so just relax,” Seb said to her, and she immediately calmed down.“Boss, I know you have missed me a lot,” Zach said as soon as he got into the car.He is my childhood best friend, but he chose to leave the Mafia and live a normal life. Which was an impossible dream, as he only enjoyed a peaceful life for six years before the enemies he made while in the Mafia came knocking at his door.They killed his pregnant wife and two-years-old daughter, and he came to me for help with seeking revenge on them. He got his revenge, but his loved ones were lost forever.“Hey, where's your mind?” His question pulled me out of my thoughts, and I just gave him a slight smile.He quickly changed my bandage, and I was about to rest my head for a while when my phone started ringing.I saw that it was a
Leo’s POV“I am at the Talkoa’s estate or what is left of it. The only son and heir of the Talkoa family, Devan Talkoa, died yesterday and the cause of his death has been hidden by his family. His funeral was scheduled to be held this morning and their family members flew in from around the world as it is a tradition for every family member to be present for such an event.But in the early hours of the morning, the Talkoa family’s villa was burnt to ashes and none of the family members survived. The police are working hard to retrieve their bodies as I speak.The fire department chief has announced that the fire was caused by careless handling of cooking gas as the fire had started from the kitchen but this is just their speculations and more investigations are being carried out” the reporter's voice echoed in the sitting room.I turned off the television and threw the remote on the sofa. The only thing on my mind right now is Amira, who hasn’t woken up since last night.“Boss, Mr. Da
Amira’s POV I was shocked to hear his voice, and more tears kept spilling out of my eyes.“Hey, are you okay?” He asked with a slightly worried tone, but I couldn't speak as I had no control on my emotions.“You don't have to listen to whatever they say to you; I want you to know that you are not alone and that Cam, Seb, and I are always here to support you.I know this might sound pretty awkward to you because we have only known each other for a couple of days, but that wouldn't change the fact that I am always watching you and won't let anyone harm you,” he said with a serious tone.I don't know why, but I suddenly stopped crying, and I wasn't feeling as sad and lonely as before.“If you ever need anything, just tell your new housekeeper or the new gardener. They are my people that I placed in the Davis family,” he informed me, and I couldn't help getting emotional again.“Thank you,” I said with a choked-up voice.“Get some sleep; you need to go to school tomorrow morning,” he sai
