So yeah, it was definitely a malfunction.âI see.â She nodded and focused on pouring a glass of water for her visitor.Elijah took the opportunity to survey the interior of her house. It was simple, minimalistic, like how his own place was, which was not surprising at all, seeing as Amara didnât see
A whole week of pure peace and silence felt like the strangest thing that had ever happened to Amara. There was no Tobias popping up out of thin air, or Celestine showing up to ruin her day, or even Fiona to annoy the heck out of her.It was quiet and peaceful, and honestly, it scared Amara a bit.J
Amara thought on the question. Her target was a little while away, under two billion dollars. Sheâd be able to achieve that within a deal or two.So, thatâd make it less than a month before she returns home.The thought soured her mood. She felt like she was leaving something behind, or unattended t
âTobias.âHis name was called, but the voice did not belong to Amara.They had both been staring, speechless, when Celestine walked out of the restroom behind Amara.She turned around and felt her mood deteriorate more than it already was when she saw the young model. The effect was the opposite for
âIf youâre going to keep staring, might as well say whatâs on your mind.â Amara met his eyes and arched a brow. âWhat?ââBack thereâŚare you okay?âShe thought on his question while drinking water. Shaking her head, she answered. âNo. Itâs not easy to move on from someone youâve loved for six whole y
It was around 3 in the early morning, Amara stood in front of her window, looking out with her phone presses against her ear.Behind her were carton boxes, lined up in front of her bed.Minutes after she had placed the call, the line connected and Lorenzoâs voice filled her ear.âAmara? Jesus Christ
Trying his number, Amara listened to the automated voice speak while chewing on her lower lip.Where could he have gone without telling her?The last time they spoke was through text message when he informed her of James departure-Oh no. Amara felt chills run down her spine. What if something happe
âWhere-?ââGilded Grub.â He interrupted her question before she could even ask. âItâs a new fast food restaurant that opened down town.ââFood isnât important now, Elijah. I need to get to work.ââYou canât work if you donât have food in your stomach, so we need to get you some food.âAmara parted h
Fiona nodded her head and Melanie, with a proud look on her face, smiled.Elvis looked at his granddaughter, and his lips tugged upwards. âYou look beautiful.â He complimented. âYour mother and father wouldnât be more happier.ââThank you, grandfather.â Amara said with a happy smile.âAre you ready?
Elijah stood in the cold, hands tucked into the pocket of his winter coat and eyes watching the very first snowfall of the year.It had been a year; a whole year since he left Italy, one year since he last saw Amaraâs face and eight months since he Melanie handed him the invitation to she and Tobias
A soft smile tugged on Tobiasâs lips as he watched Amaraâs sleeping face.After spending nearly an hour and a half in the bathtub, washing each otherâs body and kissing every now and then, Tobias had finally helped her out, and after putting on her undergarments, dressed her in one of the dresses he
âHmm, it seems youâre still sensitive down there, Princess.â Tobias teased and Amara, through the cracks of her finger, glared at him.âShut up.ââAs you wish,â He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. The feeling of his lip against her skin made Amara shiver in a good way âBut, first,âHe
âYeah, yeah, sure.â Amara rolled her eyes.Tobias leaned forward and captured her lips. He kissed her a few times, before he pulled back.âHow about we continue last night after breakfast, Love?âHis suggestion earned a blush from Amara.âYouâre such an asshole.â She said and smacked his arm once ag
Amara learnt the hard way that someone like Tobias wasnât a person you should ever tease.Round after round, their moans echoed and the smell of sex was pungent. It was sometime around 2 in the morning, 3 hours after they had returned from their date, and Tobias was still going at it like they had j
Tobias made it to his place in record time. He was quick to park his car and he didnât waste a minute before opening the door for Amara and leading her inside his house.The moment the door closed, he pushed her against the door, and without waiting, kissed her.His kiss was deep and demanding, but
âWhy the fuck do you have a gun on your yacht, Tobias?â She asked, a look of shock on her face.When she saw him reaching for the gun, she tried to grab it, but Tobias was faster than her.âDonât play this game,â She warned. âItâs not worth it, I forgive you. Thereâs no need to-ââI wonât hurt mysel
It was just as Amara had predicted.The location of their date turned out to be in the middle of the ocean, taking place on none other than Tobiasâs private yacht.Waiters and a few musicians, for entertainment sake, weâre invited. At the center of the yachtâs first floor, was their dining table, de
