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.

    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 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

    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

    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

    "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.

    "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

    "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 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.
