Amara sat in the waiting area of the hospital, a cup of coffee in her hand and her head tilted back.She wasn't the least bit tired, but she still had her eyes closed.In front of her, Elijah was pacing, phone pressed to his ear. He had just finished wrapping up the call with the officer that picked
Amara’s smile flattered. “What?”“Well, Mr. Sattar and I heard the gun go off several times, but you came out unharmed and still with the weapon, so we assumed those were warning shuts, fired.”“Well, I’m…I don’t really have knowledge about guns.” She forced a smile. “It’s just the basics.”Duncan n
‘Ah, perhaps I didn’t want to go down this lane.’ Amara thought as Melanie folded her arms and stared at her.Although she looked pissed on the surface, which was for a good reason, Amara could see the hurt in her eyes.Perhaps she could just scrap the whole thing and say it was a joke. Melanie woul
“I heard Ms. Miller bagged another deal of over a billion dollars.”Gathered in the cafeteria of Synergy, the employees gossiped amongst themselves during lunch break.Immediately after the first employee had said that, another employee joined in, saying, “Yes, that’s not all, the company just relea
Pointing a finger at her, he threatened. “The president and I are very close, so I warn you, don’t provoke me any further.”Amara snorted and the action had Edward’s expression twisting into an ugly frown.“Are you done? Well, congratulations, because you’ve officially wasted the only landline given
Amara’s car was parked across the street from Melanie’s house. It had been a minute since she arrived and she hadn’t even turned off the engine.She was hesitant.She had come all this way and was now in the position to get out of the car and go see her best friend.But a part of her was scared.‘Wh
“Thank you, Beth.”“Mhm. Oh, have you told Elijah?”Amara’s expression flattered. “Do I…do I need to tell him?”Melanie and Bethany exchanged glances, both thinking the same thing.Amara thought too little of herself. She thought her presence didn’t matter to anyone. And that was a bad mindset.“You
Amara was having dinner later that day when her phone screen lit up with a phone call.A tight smile formed on her lips as soon as she read the name. She swiped right to answer the call and placed the device against her ear.“Grandfather, good evening.”“Hello Amara, Lorenzo told me about your recen
Fiona nodded her head and Melanie, with a proud look on her face, smiled.Elvis looked at his granddaughter, and his lips tugged upwards. “You look beautiful.” He complimented. “Your mother and father wouldn’t be more happier.”“Thank you, grandfather.” Amara said with a happy smile.“Are 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 Amara’s face and eight months since he Melanie handed him the invitation to she and Tobias
A soft smile tugged on Tobias’s lips as he watched Amara’s sleeping face.After spending nearly an hour and a half in the bathtub, washing each other’s 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
“Hmm, it seems you’re still sensitive down there, Princess.” Tobias teased and Amara, through the cracks of her finger, glared at him.“Shut up.”“As you wish,” He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. The feeling of his lip against her skin made Amara shiver in a good way “But, first,”He
“Yeah, yeah, sure.” Amara rolled her eyes.Tobias leaned forward and captured her lips. He kissed her a few times, before he pulled back.“How about we continue last night after breakfast, Love?”His suggestion earned a blush from Amara.“You’re such an asshole.” She said and smacked his arm once ag
Amara learnt the hard way that someone like Tobias wasn’t 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 didn’t 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
“Why the fuck do you have a gun on your yacht, Tobias?” 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.“Don’t play this game,” She warned. “It’s not worth it, I forgive you. There’s no need to-““I won’t 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 Tobias’s private yacht.Waiters and a few musicians, for entertainment sake, we’re invited. At the center of the yacht’s first floor, was their dining table, de
