Julius's POV"She just went inside boss"One of my men informed me from the other end of the phone"Okay.Just stay at your posts and keep me updated""Yes boss"I had installed security to keep a close eye on Vera.It's been easier ,seeing as she spends most of her time in the garden within my men's reach and eye range.Yes it may be creepy but I couldn't risk it.They may plan to ambush home while I'm at work ,although their attack will be futile. My house was built like a fortress but still, I couldn't take any risks.I couldn't risk her.I found it very difficult to do basically anything when I remembered I had kissed Vera last night under the influence.I wasn't heavily drunk,I remembered small pieces, but the kiss was the part I couldn't forget.I had no idea what she thought about me now.It would be so awkward now.I was stressing over it and not paying attention to work matters; why Cyrus decided to stay home yet again.He has been doing it alot lately and I'v been suspicious
Julius's POVI drove to the location Ludwick gave me.It was indeed the correct one.It was in a deserted part of the city.I drove close to the building and walked the rest of the way on foot as the path was too narrow for my car.I walked up to what I saw was a metal door filled with rust.There were two men standing at the doors.They looked at me and I raised a brow before they opened the door.I was led through the metal rooms and finally into a dark, open space.There was a table and chair situated at the extreme left of the room.There I saw who sat opposite.It was Ludwick"Oh Julius my good friend come in come in.Take a seat"I slid my hands into my pants pocket.I walked over and sat opposite him on a plastic chair.He was lucky the wood table seperated us or else I would have stabbed him by now.I kept a straight face as I stared at him"Don't be all cold with me now Julius "He smirked at me"Cut to the chase Ludwick.Where is she?""I get it your in a rush to see if your
Julius's POVI was keeping a very good eye on Cyrus and my suspicions were just being proved.He always left the office three hours earlier than he was actually meant to and went home.I had this feeling he was after Vera and it made me angry .I kept a close watch on the camera's in Vera's room.The motion censored cameras made sure I got the whole view of what she was doing.I watched her on my laptop in my office.She walked out of her bathroom in a towel as her wet hair clung to her face.She looked beautiful as she sat using her hair dryer to blow dry her hair.Her hair covered half of her face and it reminded me of the first time we met.I smiled as I watched her gracefully comb and tend to her soft hair as the memory of it's feel came back to me.She got up and started pulling off her towel and I started getting aroused so I shut the laptop as Aldonis walked in, looking at me weird."Why do you look like you were just caught doing something you were not supposed to?"He narrowed
Julius's POVWe decided the best thing was to have Vera with me at all times. We have to make sure she doesn't leave our sight.Knowing alot of people were going to be there, the chances she could secretly be attacked were very high. "Is everything ready?""Yes bossAll the men are downstairs dressed like guests they have eyes everywhere down there""We have to keep her safe no matter what-"We were waiting for Vera outside her door so we could go down together.I was cut short when her room door opened and she alighted looking absolutely gorgeous.She had on an emerald dress.Her hair was down in it's wavy glory and the curls bounced around.She had on gold stud ear ringsHer red glossy lip was being bitten on as she looked away shyly.And just then I realised I had been staring for some time .She came to me as her eyes were cast down at her feet.I tilted her chin up so her gaze met mine. I stared into her eyes as I tucked a bit of hair behind her ear and smiled at her."You lo
Vera's POV"Julius!"I held his lifeless body in my arms as I cried my eyes out ,and all of a sudden I was being pulled away from him as I tried my hardest to fight back but he faded away into the darkness."Julius!"I sat up with my hand stretched out.I had ragged breaths as my chest rose and fell.I was crying as a layer of sweat coated my forehead.I ran a hand through my hair as I tried to regulate my breathing .I blinked slowly. My eyes felt really heavy.Then it hit me!Julius! W-where is he!I looked around to see I wasn't in my room. Heck, I had no idea where I was. The room was beautiful yes but I couldn't recognise it The room door opened and mother came in with Mom and Mrs Juli.I sat at the edge of the bed and mom came to me."How are you sweetie?"She kissed my face and I held her hand"I'm fine mom""We were all so worried Vera""Where's Julius?"The three women exchanged looks between each other before they returned their trained looks to me."He's fine .You can s
Third POVJulius's health had been improving and so has his want for Vera.His mum left them knowing well that Vera could take care of him.He had started walking on his own but was still adviced to rest for the time being.He stayed away from work per the doctor's advice and he never missed a chance to make Vera blush or faulter in whatever she was doing either by small gestures or teasing.Vera on the other hand never protested but she was conflicted whether to take his gestures as love for her or to take them as him exacting his rights on her.She found herself getting worked up thinking about it "It's silly you think he doesn't love you"Vera had turned to her best friend for help, knowing she would be able to understand her uncertainty "It's not silly.It's completely justified.If he loved me he would have told me "She sighed running a hand through her hair"All he has done for you isn't enough to tell you he loves you.He brought your family to you and he kissed you in front
Vera's POV"Mum and dad really wanted to come say hi but I told then I'd call to update them"I sat in Nina's room with her as I combed out the knots from her hair. Something I missed doing from when she was a little girl. I was surprised she let me but I wasn't complaining i'm sure Julius was. I decided he loved me whether he said it or not. His gestures, everything screamed his love and I was blind not to see it earlier. We had eaten dinner together and I was going to make sure Julius had eaten and taken his medication but Nina asked me to help her with her hair. "They should have come with you.There is enough room after all""Yes but they didn't want to intrude ""How's your studies going? ""Going great so far. Luios has been helping. He sent his condolences and promises to visit"I soon finished up her hair and I threw it in a high pony tail away form her face to avoid any discomfort while she slept. I placed the comb down on the table"Good night love""Your going? "Sh
Julius's POVI opened my eyes feeling fully rested for the first time in years. I looked down at Vera who laid on my chest with her hair sprawled on her face. I watched her beautiful face. She looked like an angel sleeping. I tucked the hair behind her ear, away from her face and stroked her cheek. I could wake up to this face every morning. I still couldn't believe she was all mine and no one else's. She stirred a little in my hand clinging unto me the more. She must be a cuddlerI smiled at how adorable she was. Her dove eyes opened and stared up at me "Good morning beautiful"Her cheeks turned bright pink as she looked down"M-morning"She whispered Getting up she ran a hand through her messy hair and I just stared at the scene. She got up from the bed and threw her hair into a messy bun. I got out behind her and pulled her into me as I rested my head on her shoulder. Vera's POVHe pulled me into his front and kept his head on my shoulder. I froze not knowing how to
