Amaira's POV"Where does everything you eat end up?" Ava asked, looking at me from head to toe as she sat in the car.She is asking this because she had just seen me eating a large amount of food. I was truly hungry. And today I ate twice as much as I normally do. This, I suppose, is the result of the pregnancy. My diet has expanded from before. "No one eats more than they should, Ava. It is not a good habit to comment over it!" Dominic jumped in between. "I was only joking, man. Don't get serious!" She sighed and rolled her eyes. The only person who could give attitude to Dominic is Ava! "Ava, it's not his fault. He is born solemn" Austin made a sarcastic remark and laughed. Ava joined him. Dominic tightened his teeth and gripped the stirring wheel fiercely. He is usually stays angry. He never take things lightly.He started the engine with a sour expression, while his younger brother and sister were arguing and passing comments from behind. They were enjoying teasing him. He ign
Amaira's POVDominic had been busy since the morning, and I was bored reading books, so I decided to go for a walk and explore this magnificent palace. I haven't discovered it fully since I have came here. I am so mesmerised by the beauty of this place that the more I see it, the more I am drawn to it. I am still not sure what caused Dominic to abandon his hometown and be apart from his loving family.I was wandering wherever my feet took me. While my eyes were roaming, my feet came out from palace, where a large number of servants were racing around, ensuring that everything was as perfect as this palace. They would be thrown out of work if they took one incorrect step.I then spun around and returned to where the fragrance of wet soil filled my nostrils and opened my senses. I just love this smell. I took off my slippers because I wanted to feel the moist soil, and my feet kept moving forward; the more I walked, the more area appeared in front of my eyes. I am still taken aback by
Amaira's POVI woke up early this morning to discover Dominic was not lying near me. He was working in the small room that was connected to the bedroom. His responsibilities have grown as the wedding day is approaching. However, his office work is as vital, so he works late at night and early in the morning. He is working relentlessly and is rarely sleeping at night. As you can tell by the dark bags beneath his eyes, this is deteriorating his health.I took a deep breath and reached for the water as my throat was going dry, only to find that the jug was empty. I am feeling very thirsty these days and I emptied the jug at the night only.Stretching my body and moving it from here to there, I stood up to fetch water. There was no one in the hall as I proceeded down the stairs and towards the kitchen. Have I really gotten up this early? I didn't check the time though.Putting the thought aside, I headed straight to the kitchen, where a few maids were preparing breakfast. My stomach churn
Amaira's POVI was passing by when I heard a wailing feminine voice which was coming from Ava's room. The cries immediately brought my feet to a halt.Why is she crying? My feet began to move in the direction of the voice and came to a halt at the entrance to Ava's room. I am sure the crying voice is only coming from this room and I am sure it is Ava who is crying. But the question is why is that? She was all happy and bubbling the last day. "Just forget about me. Nothing could possibly happen now!" In between her cries, I heard her mumble something like this. Is there anyone present in her room or is she crying over the call? "They are not going to listen to me. I have no choice but to marry him. I don't have a choice!" Her sobs got louder.What? Is she getting forced into this marriage? So this is why she always avoided discussing her wedding. She didn't even buy anything when we went for shopping. But the way she goes around the palace, it never appears that she is not happy w
Amaira's POV"Where were you?" Dominic asked as soon as I entered the room. His tone indicated that he was not in a good mood."Ava..." I swallowed and cleared my throat. I don't think it's an appropriate time to tell him the truth. He is angry, and he would lose his senses at this point. "I walked down to drink water," I lied, crossing my finger that he believe me. "Are you sure?" His brow furrowed at me."Where is your phone?" He asked while appreciating me slowly and dangerously. "Where is it?" He inquired once more, this time louder when I didn't respond to him at one time. "I- It," I tried to find it in my bottom pocket, but it wasn't there. Where is it? When my eyes began to search for it, he pulled it from his back pocket and raised it high enough for me to see it."I must have left it in the room," I said, forcing a smile and trying to reach out for my phone. "Of course, in Austin's room!" my eyes widened "He came here to return this, but you weren't there, so he handed i
Amaira's POVI woke up with a loud gasp and my eyes shot open as if I have seen a ghost. I am not sure what I was seeing; all I know is that it was a terrible and a very bad dream. My heart is pounding so hard in my chest that it hurts, my throat is utterly dry, and my breathing is harsh and noisy. I put pressure on my head to remember what exactly I was seeing but couldn't figure it out! I felt a palm on my forehead within two seconds of waking up. I blinked several times to clear my vision, then looked up to see Dominic seated next to me, his palm gently caressing my head. I couldn't read his expressions clearly because the only source of light in the room was moonlight and my vision was still blurry. "I told you not to go out, but you never listen to me," he continued calmly when I expected him to yell at me, "because there is a thought in your head that I always think wrong for you. But in reality, it is not so!" Before lifting the cloth from my forehead and putting it in ice-co
Get ready for some hot and spicy content 😈Dominic's POVFrom the farthest corner, I was staring at Amaira, Ava, and Austin. Although I was occupied with my work, my thoughts were on them, especially Austin and Amaira, as he is taking a special interest in her these days and she is too naive to comprehend his true intentions.They were all talking about something that my ears couldn't pick up on as I was sitting at quite a distance from them. After talking and laughing for a minute I saw Austin and Ava going out in the rain. Amaira was about to follow them when I ran to her and tried to stop her but she didn't listen to me. She has grown braver since she arrived here. I have to fix that.She stepped outside and started enjoying the rain without caring what I just ordered her to do. They were having fun in the rain as I was suffocating here because of Austin.My world came to a halt when Amaira began to enjoy the rain with extended arms and a huge smile on her lips. Everything else f
Amaira's POVAfter a few moments, he drew his head back, his gaze taking in my still wet body."Let me quench my thirst!" He whispered. His hands moved down to the hem of my t-shirt and my arms moved up on their own when he started rolling it up.I was still panting heavily and my vision was foggy from what he had done to me previously, but all I wanted was his hands back on my body. As soon as the t-shirt was out of the way, his hands began to roam over my body, and the cold breeze assaulted my bare skin making me shiver at my place. To halt the wind, he spun me around with one arm and slammed the door behind me with the other."Only I have the right to touch you," he grinned, peering back into my eyes, "gently."He wasn't as angry as he had been when he led me to the room. He appeared to be in a lighthearted mood at the time. He then bent to pull down my lower and left me in just my undergarments.The next thing I knew, he was standing straight, and before I could think of anything
Third Person's POVAmaira sat in the middle of the baby shower because she was in her ninth month and the baby could arrive at any time, while others moved around her making sure she didn't want anything and that everything was within her grasp. No one wants anything to get complicated for her. Since the day her family learned she was pregnant, they have been celebrating each day as a festival, especially Christian and Dominic. They are overly excited and extra happy. They are both overjoyed, and they want the child to be a girl, whereas Amaira simply wants a healthy baby. Amaira stopped Dominic from doing the gender test because it would end the excitement and she doesn't want to kill the curiosity. She wants it to know when the baby will actually come out. "Oh, wow, dad, what is this?" Christian exclaimed as he examined Amaira's stomach.Everyone's attention was drawn to this, and all the family members who were busy with one or more jobs gathered around Amaira to see what Christi
Amaira's POV"Dominic, what are you doing?" I said as I moved away from him "Christian will come any time!" Dominic has been teasing me for the last half hour by touching me here and there. He hasn't given me enough time to get ready for the party. He says I should spend more time making him happy rather than getting ready because, at the end of the day, it is him who will see me and he likes me even when I am wearing ripped clothes."But he hasn't arrived yet!" he whined, pouting like a kid "I don't know, I want my evening love," We didn't want Christian to come home and ruin our surprise, so he went to school and the driver dropped him off directly at his tuition classes after school. The poor kid has been trying to tell us since the morning that it is his birthday, but we have all been ignoring him and pretending that we are unaware. We decorated the house, invited his friends, and prepared everything according to his preferences after he left for school. This was my father's id
Amaira's POVWe all went to our respective rooms after cutting the cake and dancing our hearts out. Christian was the one who did the most dancing. He appears to have been the most overjoyed about the wedding. He ended up being the show stopper, even the young girls were attracted to his charms. They were trying to get a chance to tease him. I am sure he will be embarrassed when he watches his video as he grows older.Ava was teasing me as she led me to our room, which she had personally decorated with her own hands."No way, no, no!" Christian's yelling and cries brought me to a halt.When I looked up, he was thrashing in the grasp of his grandmother, who was doing her best to console him. When Dominic heard his cries, he came out of the room and stood at the door."What happened to him? Is he okay?" I was curious."He begs to sleep with you!" Lady Catherine informed me.I noticed Dominic, was staring at his son with his lips pressed together in a thin line as his mother informed him
Amaira's POVChristian thought for two minutes before speaking up to announce his decision."Momma," he said, and my eyes closed in defeat. I wasn't expecting him to pick her like that."I love my mother, but I want to be with my cutie pie..." He said this while pointing at me, forcing my eyes open.Did he express a desire to live with me?Dominic, who stood beside me, squeezed my palms. His hands turned numb, showing that he was more nervous than I. "She is extremely nice to me. She has never beaten me like momma, she has never punished me by locking me in a dark room, she has given me a lot of chocolates and cookies that I love," he said innocently. "If I go to Momma, she will start beating me again and refuse to feed me. Cutie pie is the polar opposite of her; she even risked her own life to save me from that monster Austin. I will only be with her" He dashed up to me and hugged my legs.Stella called out to him as she noticed him hugging my legs, but he was not ready to listen."
Amaira's POVDominic refused to let me go to bring my father out of his hiding place, no matter how much I begged him. He was concerned about my safety. He was certain that his father would try something to derail their plan and kill my father because he was furious yesterday when he came here. We were all waiting for our father to return, especially me, John, and my mother. The small meeting Dominic arranged for us on Christmas was insufficient to satisfy our longing to meet him. After all, he was away from us for such a long time. Christian was playing in my lap while Lady Catherine and Ava were busy making sure everything was up to the mark for his arrival. I am truly grateful to Dominic's family for accepting me and my family as their own without any selfish motive.It's been an hour since Dominic left to bring my father back, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to go even one second without them. No matter how hard I try, I can't help but think negatively because he
Amaira's POVWhen I heard Christian's voice again, I quickly dried myself with a towel and exited in my bathrobe. Dominic was upset, but that didn't keep me back, and neither did he try to stop me as he knew that Christian needs me. "Cutie pie," he said again as I emerged from the bathroom, "where were you?"Christian doesn't like it when I leave his side for even a second. I am not sure how Dominic will get his fair share of time."I was taking a bath," I explained as I sat beside him, "what woke you up?""I had a bad dream," he sniffed, "and I was scared when I realized I was alone in the room." Tears welled up in his tiny eyes. "I thought that he will..." I interpreted him before he could complete himself. "Never think you are alone, my little monkey," I stroked his head lovingly, "I am always with you." He hugged me tightly."Come on, go back to sleep," I said, yanking him away.He nodded and slid back down onto the bed. I took off all the pillows Dominic had placed around him b
Amaira's POV"Now only my father needs to be taken care of," he cupped my cheeks, "and then we will marry with your father's blessings," he promised, kissing my eyebrow. "Dominic, thank you so much" I thanked him with my whole heart. "For what?" he inquired."For fighting your own family for me," I said as I looked him in the eyes."I am not fighting for your family; I am fighting for justice, and aren't you my family?" he asked, staring back at me "It should be me who should be thankful to you for saving Christian," "Isn't he mine?" I asked the same question to him. He kept on staring at me for a second before he smiled, closed his eyes, and nodded."But Amaira, you made a mistake by going there alone and that too without informing me," he said."I did it because I knew you would save me," I said with a broad smile "I trust you, Dominic" "Don't you have too much faith in me?" He inquired with a cocked eyebrow. "More than my life," I admitted.I didn't notice when he grabbed my
Amaira's POV"Dominic!" I screamed from behind as I didn't want him to take his life. This could become more troublesome for us. But it seems like I became a little late in screaming as he already dug the rock.....As I opened my tightly closed eyes, I saw Dominic still sitting on Austin, but the rock had been dug beside Austin's ear. Dominic's face was just above Austin's, and they were both looking at each other with wide eyes and taking deep, harsh breaths. The scene in front of me was terrifying. When I realized Dominic hadn't killed Austin, the energy in my body drained and I collapsed to the ground, releasing a deep breath that I was holding for so long. Austin appeared to be terrified for his life. Everyone loves their life, no matter how much he encouraged Dominic to kill him. He couldn't have predicted Dominic's reaction. But I am sure Dominic changed his mind about killing Austin because he is his younger brother, and Dominic still values his relationships."Mr. Kingston,
Amaira's POV "I was going easy on you, Amaira," Austin said as my head spun from the attack, "but not anymore!" "Ahhh," I help in pain as he holds me through my hair again. He appears to want it to pull my strands from my scalp. It was burning like hell but he cared less. He then pushed me down the tree, and I slid down it. He looked me down with no mercy in his eyes. He looked like a complete monster, with bloodshot red eyes, blood dripping neck, a flaring nose, and teeth ready to eat me raw."I am going to ruin you so badly that even Dominic won't accept you if he ever gets you back," he raged from above.I am not sure what I did wrong with him for him to treat me this way. I won't treat even my enemy like this. I took two deep breaths through my mouth as he unzipped his pant and unbuckled his belt. I tried to push him away from his thighs. But he knelt, folded my arms behind the tree, and tied them with his belt."I just hate you, Austin," I screamed while trying my best to fr
