THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing her question, the sleeping body of Xander stiffened.His lips pursed ever so slightly and the gaze he looked at Ryan with became much more colder all of a sudden. As if he said one more wrong word, he'll get strangled by the death god here right now in this exceedingly freezing room. Ryan shuddered under that cold gaze and he could practically feel the chill rising from his feet till the tips of his fingertips. Hurriedly , he shook his head and opened his mouth to speak but as if he had a sudden thought, he shut his mouth. If Xander is here and Scar has suddenly asked about his sleeping habit.....?Does that actually mean what I'm thinking?Thinking about this, his eye's widened and the way he looked at Xander held a bit of reproach. How could... he? He... he did that?! Doesn't he know that his wife has just come out of coma and even if he wanted to express his love,
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ Xander stiffened upon interruption and his eyes flashed with annoyance. Still, he knew he was wrong. She had just woken up and he kissed her so hard. He should give her some time. Looking back, Scarlett saw that Mia and Kat were both gone and she breathed a sigh of relief. It's not like there's anything wrong she was doing. Like she was kissing her husband and it's supposed to be cute and loving and sweet if other people saw it but she could still feel her heart beating so fast against her chest and her cheeks heating up. First time, it was Kat who interrupted them but atleast at that time, they weren't kissing each other but this time.....ahhh! It was Mia who caught them and plus, she could tell they were so intensely making out with each other and Scarlett felt so embarrassed. Her both friends had seen her in her most intimate moments yet and her cheeks burned at the thought
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ It was the next day after Scarlett's birthday. And currently Mia and Kat were gushing like teenage girls about Scarlett's first kiss with her in her hospital room. Kat had such a dreamy expression on her face with her both her hands supporting her chin as she leaned her head in the bed while sitting in a chair beside the bed. Mia, on the other hand was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Ah....I remember when I had my first kiss. It was in high school. The boy was just so cute and nice and we had just stared dating. He had come into my house to teach me economics and after that we had ten minute break. I remember while I closed my eyes for a short while, he had stolen a peck on my cheeks and my god! His face was so red the moment i opened my eyes. We both were so unsure but still we leaned quietly towards each other and finally our lips met! Ahh!!! That was such a great moment.
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ The trees outside looked really beautiful as they swayed along the soft breeze.And the sky slowly turning a warm hue of orange and red because of the setting sun gave a cozy feeling. Scarlett put her head on the window sill of the car but Xander quickly pulled her back."Sit properly."She was sitting in the passenger seat and Xander was the one driving the car. They were currently on their way to the orphanage.But Scarlett didn't know that. Xander wanted to keep it as a surprise. It was the third after her discharge and although Xander had initially wanted to wait for about two weeks before her health recovered but then he decided not to. He thought she must not want to stay confined in the mansion again alone with him and plus, he did not want her to stress about even a single thing. So he decided to take her to visit the orphanage. He got to know from Mia and Kat that S
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ Now they both were sitting in the living hall with all the children crowded around them.Xander had already bought a lot of Christmas and New Year gifts for them.Most of them were chosen by Scarlett and the remaining few were chosen by Xander. Everyone loved their gifts. They all had huge smiles on their faces. But not so later, one of the kids with red hair whispered something in the ears of the girl standing beside him. The girl frowned at his words but then she also quickly put her hands together like a microphone and whispered something into the ears of the girl beside her.And then, the next girl also did the same. Scarlett and Xander both noticed it at the same time and they both turned to look towards each other with confusion evident in their eyes. They both wondered what all these children were up to.Looking back, they saw practically almost all the children had a
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ Xander stiffened at the soft and warm body that suddenly collided with him. But Scarlett didn't care. She kept on hugging as if he was her only lifeline. She wanted to keep holding onto him. She wanted to just be with him. Xander.Her heart murmured.He's here. A rush of warm joy ran through her whole body.This was the person who just somehow was always there, always there for her, to protect her and to guard her.....and to cherish her. "Xander..." Hearing her soft but still weak voice calling out to him made him come back to his senses.He looked down at her and his hands reached around her waist to pull her more closer to his body. He hugged her. He hugged her tightly enough to not let go.His head rubbed again her hair as she was covered in his strong and warm embrace. She took a deep breath and the familiar scent of wood and mint infiltrated her nostrils.The scent t
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ Xander stroked her back slowly and gently as she lay on his chest with her head buried against his body. He was now sitting against the pillows just below the window where Scarlett was sitting earlier. As he looked at his wife, sleeping peacefully in his arms, his eyes had a gentle and soft look in them.Leaning his head down, he dropped a gentle kiss against her soft and warm skin of her neck. "Thank you, Triantafyllo."For staying with me. He didn't complete the sentence but his eyes full of love and relief already showed that.No one knew how much he worried and anxious he was when he didn't find her at the orphan. He had rushed back in just two hours.He didn't even want to leave her side at all and just wanted her to be in his line of sight at all times. He feared whenever she wasn't in his sight. He feared she would suddenly disappear or something would happen to her
SCARLETT'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ "Who is it?" I looked up from the pile of notes laying on my bed. I was sitting with my legs crossed, not really caring I had my cute black booty shorts on, exposing my "not so long" legs.But the person who came inside raised a brow of his as his gaze fell on my exposed legs before his eyes met mine. My breath hitched. I was looking at him with my eyes wide open.My hands holding onto those notes subconsciously stiffened. "Ah...Xander?"It came out more like a question instead of a greeting. I gulped.Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself."What are you doing here?" He didn't answer my question and instead walked towards me with his gaze still fixed on me. Watching him come closer towards the bed, I held my breath.The soft bed sheet under me dipped as he sat his one knee on the bed before leaning closer towards me. He was approaching me from the right side of the bed where
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
THIRD PERSON'S POVTWO DAYS BEFOREIt was currently 10 at night and the streets were still filled with people moving around.However, if one looked closer and more intently, they would find that most people here were couples.It was a small street with full of shops such a bakeries, cafés and some toy and flower shops.But still, the most dominant smell around the whole street was of bread and cakes.It seemed as if happiness had found home here but still in one corner of a small coffee shop, sat a lonely figure.His heart, full of heartache and sorrow, was aching badly. For some reason, he, at first instinct, chose the window seat and sat there.Maybe he wanted to torment himself more.Valentine week starts tomorrow and all the couples out there were having a warm time as they walked hand in hand or hugging their significant partners in a warm embrace in such cold winter weather.Why?Why can't he enjoy that too?He also wanted to enjoy such warmth with his beloved. He also wanted to
"Umm....I don know."I stuttered.Walking towards him, I smiled awkwardly and answered,"Maybe someone put it outside by mistake."Xander just nodded before walking past me towards that bouquet of roses."It's a mistake then. But I don't like someone giving roses to my wife, even when it's a mistake."Turning around, he flashed me a cold grin."So, let's throw it away."Yeah sure.I had no qualms about throwing this bouquet away so I didn't say anything.By why do I feel a bad premonition? Did I forget something.He turned around and carelessly picked away that bouquet of roses but just then a note slips fell down from amongst the flowers.Oh...!The note slip!That's what I forgot.I immediately panicked."Xander, let's-"But it was already too late. He has picked up the note and read it already.Looking at him being silent and not saying anything, I actually felt a bit anxious.So disregarding whatever might happen, I walked forward and pulled on his arm a little."Xander."Biting t
"It's already the 7th of February."I mumbled while crunching on the special cookies made by my husband.Valentine week has already started and it's evening now but still no roses from this handsome but ice block of a husband of mine.Xander glanced at me before he went back to pouring a cup of coffee for himself and a cup of tea for me.Now, let's clear something up. Yes, he's like a handsome devil just as in those Hot CEO novels and I'm really proud of having such an amazing and handsome man as my husband who's also a chef but..but, the coffee he drinks is the same taste-like, bitter.Blergh!(Just mimicking, don't take it serious)So where were we? Yes, coffee!His bitter coffee, yes. So like the coffee he drinks is not completely black coffee like told in those novels and dramas but the taste is still the same bitter one.So for me, tea is still better."Thanks." I said before taking a sip of my tea."So....""Yes?"I glared at him. Hmph!"What "yes?"?! You didn't even look up fro
"Don't...don't laugh at me." Scarlett stuttered but she still laid on the ground. Raising her hand and putting it on her temples, she rubbed and cried out,"I'm so weak...ah, I can't even get up now. My legs ache...." Casting a side glance at Xander, she continued with her acting.Of course, she came here to do a prank on him.Hoping to disturb in his meeting and that still can be done. And yes, she had already confirmed with the head butler that he was not in a very important meeting as Xander had not given any strict instructions to not disturb him. So she felt it was okay. He's my husband after all.In this way, she convinced herself. Anyhow, now she has fallen down.Hmph! Who said you can't prank after you've fallen on your butt, *cough* *cough* in her case, stomach? "Ahh...Xander, it hurts...." She pitifully cried out him. Her lips pursed together to give the impression as if she's trying really hard to hold back her tears from dripping down. Xander, on the other hand, doe
Pursing my lips, I stifled a yawn as he once again lectured me.I glared at him being sleepy which just made me eyes water instead of looking fierce."Got it." I waved my hand."What do you mean you got it? You need to learn this and recite two time." He insisted."Oh god Xander.....just lemme sleep." I again whined.My sleep, I know you are waiting for me but I'm sorry, my husband is not leaving me tonight.I chuckled to myself thinking what if I say this sentence out loud.Well, let's find out.Looking to a corner towards the fireplace, I muttered, deliberately in a loud voice to make this husband of mine hear."My sleep, I know you are waiting for me but I'm sorry, my husband is not leaving me tonight."Xander's eyes narrowed as he looked at me the moment those words left my mouth.His lips curled up at the corner of his mouth."What did you just say, mou triantafyllo?"I huffed and didn't answer him. Maybe I shouldn't have said that but it's not like I said anything wrong."Want t
Clouds layered across the sky in thick density this day. The rays of sun seemed like they were playing hide and seek with them, coming and going the other moment as if they could just slip out of one's hand at any moment.Xander had not slept the entire night yesterday. He was awake all night, sitting beside his Triantafyllo, just as her guardian.And yes they were still sleeping in separate rooms as it had only been a week since she was discharged.And he had yet to bring up the matter of sleeping in the same room with her.He sighed."ómorfi mou, triantáfylló mou."He placed a long kiss on her forehead as he bent down and stood up a few moments after."Hmm?" Scarlett stirred up as she felt a soft and warm touch upon her face."Sleep sone more. I'll get something for you to eat." He gently pushed the strands of her hair sticking out behind and again laid a soft kiss on her lips before getting up."Uhmm....don't go." Scarlett murmured in her sleep as her hold on his arm grew tight.He
The early rays of the sun shined on the two bodies cuddled together under the white sheets through the large window in the room as the curtains flew slightly because of the wind. It was a nice weather. Nice enough that Xander didn't sleep whole night.His eyes only kept staring at his Triantafyllo. After the doctor had diagnosed her, she has been sleeping till now in her room and he had stayed beside her for the whole night. He was thinking of the words Doctor Mike told him last night when she had fainted. "I don't know how to say this but I guess memories from those years back might be coming back now. It might be bits or fragments of sone moments but this is typically the case when a coma patient or the one who has had amnesia starts remembering things. She must have been overwhelmed by the memory or may be its possible that she might have tried hard to think about it and get the memory of that specific moment altogether which scientifically speaking, is almost not possible and
