Amaira's POV"I met a girl six years ago," he took a big breath, "she was beautiful," his gaze moved to my face and stopped there for a second, "but not more than you."He then blinked and averted his gaze before continuing his story."I was in love with her" he stopped for a moment "Um- huh!" He cleared his throat "I thought I was in love with her" he corrected himself "but it was simply a misunderstanding of youth," he said with a wide smile, "whatever it may be!" He turned around to face the dark sky, his palms resting on the edge of the window "At that time I was crazy for her as she was one of the most popular models of that time. A lot of men were behind her but she was mine" he chuckled "and I was proud of that" he chuckled once more "stupid me!" He slapped his head gently. He then turned around taking a deep audible breath. "I used to lavish her with money. She merely needed to put her finger on anything and the next day that thing was in her hands or within her reach," he e
Amaira's POV"After the baby took birth my undivided attention was drifted to him. I was not paying any attention to his mother, which was not digestible to her. She never saw my love and accepted me when I asked her earlier, but after the birth of my child, she wanted to be a permanent part of my life as she couldn't accept that I was giving all of my love to my kid. One day she said that she is ready to accept my proposal and marry me, but I responded the next day by saying that the proposal is no longer accessible and that she can now go wherever she wants, I don't really care about her" He took a deep breath. His eyes were now turned red and his nose was flaring. "Then she did the cruelest thing that no mother could ever do. She stopped feeding the baby after she tried every tactic and nothing worked on me. My son used to cry out of hunger" his lower lip quivered as he told me this "I immediately hired a nanny for him and requested her to leave my house, but she refused. She sta
Amaira's POVWhen I woke up the next day I didn't find Dominic by my side. I searched for him in the bathroom, in his favorite work room but he was nowhere to be seen. In fact, he was not even at home and no one knew where he is. I didn't even try to search for him more. It is not like he tells me where he is going before going anywhere. Lady Catherine and Ava demanded that I stay here for a few more days, and I agreed on the condition that I stay in a separate room. So, after breakfast, I moved into the room next door to Ava's. Dominic's family is aware that something is wrong between me and Dominic, but they are unaware of the reality of our relationship, how it began, and under what terms I was staying with him. Neither of us wants to tell them. When I am will be fit enough to travel, I will return to my own country, and Dominic will be free to tell them whatever he wants. I don't give a damn!"Amaira" I turned around as I heard Austin calling me "How are you?" He inquired. I si
Amaira's POVI went straight to my room and was so restless that I decided to spend the rest of the day there. The servant arrived at my room to summon me for dinner, but I told him merely to bring the food to my room because I didn't want to talk to anyone. I am now feeling really lonely and miss my father badly. He was a really mature man, and I am confident that if he had been here, he would have solved half of my problems. I can't even express my anxiety with my mother because she has a heart problem and I don't want her to be stressed out unnecessarily, this would adversely affect her health making me even more restless. I tried to read books to pass the time because I wasn't sleepy and couldn't distract my mind. My thoughts kept returning to my father, and his agonizing screams were still echoing in my ears. I know I won't be able to find peace until I give him justice, but I can't have the resolve to take the case to court and put Dominic behind bars.I put the book down after
Amaira's POV Ava decided to have some fun outside the palace on my birthday as she was feeling bored inside. She decided to go on a picnic with her husband, Austin, and John. I initially refused, but after several requests, I agreed to come only on the condition that I prepare something on my own. I enjoy cooking but haven't cooked anything since moving here. Servants don't allow me to even go near the stove. Although I couldn't cook anything significant because of my broken arm, I could at least make sandwiches that are easy to make. Ava went to Dominic to ask if he wanted to join us, as she did every time after forcing me to accede to her will, and as expected he flatly refused.So I prepared the sandwiches for the five of us while a servant helped me in providing the required things. When I finished making the five sandwiches, I set them aside. My hair kept coming in front of my eyes, making it difficult for me to see properly, but I couldn't tuck it behind my ear since my finge
Amaira's POVHis lips then started moving down and was about to claim mine when we heard some sounds at the entry of the kitchen which made us snap our heads in its direction at the same time. Dominic groan in anger as he saw Austin standing there! "I came for water!" He croaked, his eyes moving at our bodies that were still attached to each other. I pushed Dominic away with my right hand as soon as I realized what was going on. He also understood that I was no longer at ease, so he took a step back on his own, creating a healthy distance between the two of us. Austin stepped forward, filled a glass of water, and began sipping it while Dominic gave him a deathly stare. He seemed to want to murder him with his eyes. He was waiting for him to leave so that he could continue from where he left, but Austin was drinking water slowly."Amaira!" Before Austin could leave Ava came in calling my name "how much more time will you take?" She asked, "you have to get ready as well!" She told m
Amaira's POVWhile the rest of the people followed us, Ava dragged me only God knows where. She shushed me every time I opened my lips to ask her a question. She always does this. She is as dominant as his brother. No one allows me to open my mouth when they want something. She stopped after reaching to a certain point. "Here is your surprise!" She pointed to a massive object hidden behind the fabric, and to my surprise, it started moving. Is there any human she has bought for me? "What?" My face furrowed as my gaze shifted to Ava. I wasn't interested in what she had brought for me. It was giving me creepy vibes. "Go ahead and remove the cloth," she ordered just like her brother "after all, it's your gift!" She displayed her pearly white teeth to me. I don't know why but her smile felt a little suspicious and the way she was talking I got a little alert. This girl is incredibly devious, and I can't believe her blindly. She is capable of doing anything at any time. She is the nau
Amaira's POVMy birthday went really well. Austin took all of us for a family dinner after we returned from the picnic, making my birthday extra special. When I said there was no need for all of this, he explained that taking everyone out serves two purposes. One is my birthday, and the other is that Christmas is tomorrow so he wanted all of us to spend time together. According to him, festivals are the reason for the family to spend time together. I was already wide awake, but I was too tired to walk down the stairs. My mind was just thinking about the last day i.e. my birthday and the way Dominic made it special for me. I don't have enough words to thank him. The loud banging on my room's door brought me out of my reverie and forced me out of bed. I opened it only to be attacked by John, my monkey!"Merry Christmas, Amy!" He wished me while hugging me tightly and moving our bodies together from here to there. "Merriest Christmas, John!" I smiled and hugged him back. "You know Amy
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
