THIRD PERSON'S POV
______________________________________________________________________________________
Kat was happy to finally see her best friend be happy in her marriage life.
In the one month, Xander has been away, Scar never admitted but she was upset by his disappearance. Yeah, she was mad but she never let it show to her friends.And now when he's back, Kat could see the glow and happiness on her best friend's face and she prayed it would remain like this only.
Scarlett on the other hand was blushing hard. She was so embarrassed at being seen by her best friend like this. Xander groaned internally for he was so close to taste her lips, he was dying to kiss those soft lips of hers.
On noticing Scar wasn't ready yet, Kat asked,
"Scar, hurry up babe. We gotta leave soon."Scarlett quickly nodded and went upstairs saying,
"I'll get changed."Xander was confused b
Scarlett's pov"I'm hungry."He looked at me for a moment before I saw his lips curving up into a beautiful smile which soon was followed by a full blown laughter.His deep laugh was so melodious. I was sure it was the sound I want to hear everyday.I didn't realize I was staring at him until his words caught my attention."My Triantáfyllo is hungry. Tell me what should I make?" He asked looking at me with a small smile on his face.And all I could utter was,"Oh my god!"His brows furrowed."Oh my god!" I repeated."I know almost every dish but I'm not sure if that's a dish, Triantáfyllo." He hesitantly said.I finally came to my senses."Oh my god! I heard you laugh."His face expression immediately changed. He stood still and stoic."Oh no. Why did you stop laughing? Your laugh is beautiful. You should laugh more." I said to him but quickly added,"Wait , no. You shouldn't laugh more because if you were in a meeting and you start laughing, now that won't look good, right?"He nodde
Scarlett's povIt was New Year's Eve today.I was in my room completing some work of mine.From the past few days, Xander has been really nice to me. He would always try to have conversations with me, he would ask about my favourites and make dinner which reminds me, he's been coming home early too. He was really being nice. I mean, it wasn't like he was rude before but he wasn't nice either.And I don't know if I'm liking this change in him or not.I mean I would like it if I had planned to actually give a chance to this marriage but no, I'm gonna leave and I don't want him to be hurt when I leave.I was lost in my thoughts when I heard knocking on the door.I got up from the bed and walked towards the door.A pretty looking lady in a black jumpsuit was standing there with few girls behind her. Each carrying different arrays of dresses.It was my stylist Xander has sent.I had to accompany him to some New Year party tonight.I actually wanted to go visit the of orphanage today. Since
THIRD PERSON'S POV _______________________________________________________________________________________ Everyone was shocked after listening to that man address Scarlett as sister.But she, she recognised him and wide smile crept up on her face on seeing him. He walked towards her and quickly embraces her in a tight hug."I've been looking all over for you for the past few days."Which was true, he had indeed been trying to find her. He even went to the place where they met but no sign. It was quite difficult, almost impossible to find a person whom you know nothing about. She also smiled on hearing his words."I never thought I would meet you again." He pulled away to look at her face and whispered, "but we met again. Now first tell me your name. You know how hard it is to try to find a person without any name, nothing." Both Xander and Nicole couldn't make sense of what was happening.If she's his sister then what name? Why would he ask that?Aren't they already supposed to
THIRD PERSON'S POV _______________________________________________________________________________________ "Why didn't you tell me that you met Elray?"Xander asked licking her earlobe. Scarlett was going to answer with, ' I didn't know his name.' but then she remembered why would she even tell him anything anyways.She wasn't obliged to answer to him.So she said,"Why would I tell you?" On hearing her words, Xander's jaw clenched. His moved his lips towards the skin below her ear and sucked on it. Hard. He sucked hard enough to leave a mark. Everything that happened this evening was getting to him.He was more worried about her safety from his half brother and step mother and here, she was making it more difficult for him. She is his calm. His peace. And after getting relieved on knowing Elray won't do anything to hurt his Triantáfyllo, all Xander wanted to do was to take his wife in his arms and spend time in her comfort. But he did want to know why didn't she tell him she me
THIRD PERSON'S POV _______________________________________________________________________________________ Just a few inches and he'll lose his Triantáfyllo.No, he can't let that happen. He moved fast and quick. Only a little more difference was left between Scarlett and the chandelier.He needs to be fast. The moment he took another step, a loud thud was heard and then the breaking of glass followed. His heart stopped beating for a moment. All he could think was his Triantáfyllo, his rose might be there, under the broken chandelier. He quickly ran towards her but tripped and fell, the glass pieces pierced into his arm and legs.But he didn't stop. He didn't stop until he reached his wife. He sighed a breath of relief when he saw only the Chandelier was there, broken chandelier.His wife wasn't there. His gaze moved in search of her and stopped when he saw her being engulfed in the arms of someone else. That person must have saved my wife. He thought and walked towards them
THIRD PERSON'S POV The hard metal of the chair he was sitting on scraped his thighs. Letting out a deep sigh,he closed his eyes shut again.He looked tired and exhausted but his eyes were hopeful. Those hopeful deep eyes of his also held a distinct emotion he only felt once in life till now. Scared Xander was scared, terrified of what might come out the mouth of the Doctor who has been working for him for years.He has never gotten any news in hospital that would make his smile or make his heart relieved or make him thank anyone. That's the reason he never trusted these big buildings known to save people's lives but at the end, he also knew, on this earth, besides the so called god he doesn't believe in, doctors are the one who might be able to save lives of fragile humans. It was in buman nature, to try.Try everything they can , go to anyone they think can help them in miserable time of their lives. And so was the case for Xander too.The billionaire couldn't help but resort
THIRD PERSON'S POV _______________________________________________________________________________________ Mike's words swept the floor beneath Xander's feet. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His Triantáfyllo would never do such a thing. She's strong and always find solutions to her problems, there's no reason she would try to kill herself.Xander refused to believe it. "You're wrong, doctor. My wife would never do that." He coldly answered Mike. Somehow, this answer provided relief to the doctor. He hated to think that she would ever try to kill herself because of Xander, when he knows how much Xander loves her. There was only one other option left now. The possibility of which he never wanted to consider. It was perilous, threatening and too dangerous. But that was the only way left.The doctor sighed turning his gaze around the hallway before looking back at the stressed out Xander. "If she didn't try to take her life, there's only one other possibility then...." X
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________The plush leather seat was pressed under the heavy weight of doctor's rear. Xander took the place next to him, his strong hands on steering wheel.The soft breeze outside was the only sound that could be heard from the half open window on the doctor's side.The silence that prevailed in the car was proof how much tensed the atmosphere was. It's like you know a big block of stone is going to fall over you but you can't do anything about it, you can't move to get away nor can you stop it.You can just wait but the wait seems endless as you can see the block of stone coming but don't really know when it will fall on you.Mike had no idea how to tell the person sitting right next to him of his wife's condition. His heart clenched at the thought. His eyes swayed to the young billionaire every two minutes.His broad shoulders tensed, teeth grinding ever so tightly again each other as h
It was the middle of the night—too late, too dark—and she was behind the wheel of her car, the road stretching out before her like a never-ending ribbon. The hum of the engine was a steady presence, the rhythmic sound of tires against asphalt almost soothing. But something felt off, a sense of unease hanging in the air, heavy and pressing. She couldn’t place it, but the world around her seemed to blur at the edges, as though the clarity of reality was slipping away.Then, in the blink of an eye, it happened. A flash of headlights in her rearview mirror. The screeching of tires. A jolt—one sharp, gut-wrenching moment when everything spun out of control. The world tilted as her car veered off course, her heart pounding in her chest, her breath shallow. She could hear the crash, the shattering glass, the deafening thud of metal crumpling against metal.The sound of her own gasping breath echoed in her ears as she reached for the seatbelt, the world still spinning, the pressure on her che
Scarlett frowned. It was an acutely familiar voice but she couldn't just pin point who it was."GO TO HELL! DIE!"It was on the second shout that Scarlett recognised who it was. It was Karla shouting and just when Scarlett was about to turn around to look back, Xander abruptly turned her towards his side, still hugging her when she abruptly looked up at him and saw his face contort into one of pain."Xander!" Her heart lurched inside her chest as she moved her head to the side and saw Karla with a huge knife in her hand, the sharp end buried in Xander's back. A gasp left her mouth as her eyes reared up.Supporting Xander, she quickly walked and gripped Karla's wrist, "Let. Go."There was so much anger in her voice, a kind of hatred erupted in her heart that made her want to kill this woman right at the moment. She hurt her Xander.Even Karla was shocked for a moment at the intense emotion in Scarlett's eyes. She staggered back a step and in that moment, Cole and others had alrea
"You should definitely buy this one. I think it looks the best on you." Maria smiled at her before gesturing to the sale's assistant to pack it up for her.Scarlett smiled hesitatingly. She didn't know how to act around Maria right now. But she still, nonetheless, nodded at her words."I'll.... go look there." Scarlett pointed towards the left aisle where a lot of winter jackets were displayed.Maria nodded with a doting smile. "Sure. I'll look for some bags too."Scarlett nodded with a robotic smile and went away.As soon as she turned around, her smile faded. Maria called her today morning to go shopping with her. Plus, as November had already started, she suggested to somewhat decorate the house for the winters. It was a reasonable suggestion but Scarlett still hesitated. It was only when Maria said that Xander would like it and that she had already told Xander about it that any hesitation about going out in Scarlett's mind went away.But something still felt off.***It was an h
It was the next day and Scarlett was back home in her room, collecting her books and suddenly, footsteps could be heard behind her.She turned her head to look behind and was startled to see Xander standing so close to her.She jumped up on his surprise as she saw his figure being much closer to hers right now.When did he come so close to me this fast? She patted her chest in a manner to calm her beating heart down. "What-Why are you so close?"Xander tilted his head. "Should I not be?""Huh?" She looked at his face dumbly at his question. "No, you should be." As if realising what she just blurted out, "No, wait-I meant you should not be...I mean-"Xander bit his tongue inside so as not to laugh out at her cute appearance. "Haa" he swept his hand through this hair and let out a short breath."You..." Scarlett covered her face. "Why am I always saying stupid things in front of you?" She mumbled through her hands covering her face and decided to not look at him for a moment. He
Xander was silent for a moment.Explain.He fell silent on the other end. He knew he should not have disappeared but after that night, he just couldn't face her.He lied to her, the past still materrs because...she almost died because of him.There, he said it. He had been feeling so guilty which is why he had left that dark world after her accident and maybe gpd gave him another chance as she lost her memory of that period so he decided to never let her know of that and also not get close to her again but he failed to do that. When he met her gain, all he wanted was to be with her."Xander?" After not hearing a response for a long time, Scarlett called out once again."Yeah?""What yeah?!"A small, almost negligible smile formed on Xander's lips as he could almost imagine her saying, "What yeah?!" with an angry pout in her face. She was the only one who could calm his raging heart. why did you leave without telling me?""Did I need to tell you?""Of course. I'm your wife. Shouldn't
The car suddenly came to a halt.He frowned a bit and looked at her, "What are you talking about, Triantafyllo?""I'm taking about you knowing me even before our marriage." There she said it finally.He eyes widened at her words. A stunned expression came upon his face as if he had never expected to hear this from her.Still, he managed to reply, "What....What do you mean?"She stared back at him, looking for any sign of lie in his eyes but there was none.Did I guess wrong? She wondered.But.....As she wondering about this, Xander had already started driving the car again and the time, she could feel that the speed of the car was significantly faster than usualHer words had affected him.She knew it,"Xander-" Before she could speak to him about it again, he was already out of the car, signaling for he kr to get down either.Soon, she cane down too and walked towards him."Xander, listen to me!"She called him behind his back when he suddenly turned around, startling her."What sho
On the other hand, Xander who called by his subordinate, snapped at him, "You can't even do a simple thing! Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me? Can’t you even handle this? Then, it seems you are not quite suitable to stay in this position.”Before takig Scarlett out on a date, he had specifically instructed his subordinates not to disturb him but it seems he has been a bit too lenient with them in the past few days that they even dared to call him despite his otherwise orders. The matter for which his subordinate had called him was just that they detected a a few suspicious figures near the garden and not wanting to take any risk when their boss was with them, the head of the security decided to contact Xander."I'm going back. Take care of the them." Xander referred to those suspicious figures as he instructed his subordinates before making his way back.He felt uneasy as he walked as if something bad was going to happen. And that's why he felt even more anxious so increased his pa
The flowers of various different colours were arranged in a uniform manner around the entire boundary of the hall. The ruby red and pure pink were the ones that dominated among the flower arrangements. Beautifully embroidered and shimmering golden, thick curtains laced with soft white laces had formed an exquisite bow at the place where the curtain threads are tied, along with the huge hanging chandelier sparkling like diamonds on above and the silent but peaceful cover of the dark night, it all made this date night more special. As I marvelled at the luxurious decorations, a sound came from behind me and no later I felt a light stubble grazing the back of my neck. "Ah, Xander! You startled me."I tried to turn around to face him but his arms held me right around my waist and pulled me closer. "No, just stay like this." He whispered as his breath fell on the skin of my neck. "Huh." I took a deep breath. To be honest, in such a beautiful atmosphere, I have had already lost my he
FLASHBACK CONTINUESI stiffened in his arms the moment I heard his question.Will I ever leave him?Of course, this was a question whose answer I already had in my mind.A year.I'll leave after a year which now might have already been reduced to a few months.But how can I tell him that?So, instead of answering, t tried to change the subject."You...Why are you so...good at speaking Hindi?"Even though what I wanted to ask was "why are you so good to me?".He tightened his arms around me and answered."I'm not.""Hmm?""I wanted to surprise you so I learned that sentence specially for that moment." He voice went low as he spoke the last few words.I could almost feel his breath spraying on my earlobe."Ohh." I nodded in response."I thought you knew Hindu." Chuckling at my own assumption, I turned around."Tell me about you." I said to him, looking straight into his eyes.I wanted to know more about him. Just know, he talked about his mother. I've never heard of her before so I am c
