How dare he deny being with Mira? And why is he doing it? He is already aware of my families association with the Johnson's and still he denies being Mira's soon to be fiancé.
I felt a soft touch on my cheek. Leonardo! I tried to swat his fingers away only to have him put his arms around my waist and pull me towards him. "Zavi, I almost went mad with worry these last two days." He said softly.
His warm brown eyes boring into me. I could feel myself softening towards him. Snap out of it Saira! I looked away with effort.
"Mr. Norcross, I don't understand your need to worry like this, but thank you for your concern." I know I am being rude. But I have to be careful with this man. He is breaking through m

Leonardo's POVMy palms are fisted tightly as I watched her walk away and board the bus. I know going after her right now will only push her further away from me.Mark has already damaged whatever little trust or rapport I had built with her. However, I will be damned if I let this little incident deter me away from being with her.Due to the thorough investigations Mikky has done, now I am now aware about how to reach out and get in touch with her. That information includes her home address.I don't bother looking at the two standing next to my car as I seat myself in. Mark quietly gets in and takes his place beside me before I could drive off. I dart a glance towards Mikky nodding my thank you for his efforts

Leonardo's POV. Zavi's face was pale as she stared at Martha. Martha clutched my hand making me look at her. She was staring at Zavi, her face scrunched in confusion and pain. I squeased her hand reassuringly and smiled. Gently I pulled her inside the apartment and made her sit on a couch. Zavi fell on her knees in front of Martha tears rolling down her cheeks. "Mumma!" she gave out a heart wrenching sob before looking at me. "Where did you find her? We thought-" she shivered slightly at some memory perhaps. I looked at her, not sure what to say. I bent down slightly and touched Zavi's shoulder. She turned hear tear strained face towards me "Zavi- are you sure? I think there is some mistake."

Saira's POV.Startled at the sound of my phone ringing I glanced at it. It was the reminder to go to Papa in hospital. I had almost forgotten about the time.Oh God! How am I going to break this news to Papa. He has not been same since the day he got the news of my mother passing away.How will he react when he finds out she is alive?I shivered as the thought ran into my mind once again. My mother is alive! She seems to be struggling to remember the details of the past but she is alive and it is nothing less than a miracle."I need to visit Papa." I told Leonardo."I don't think he would want you to visit him again

Leonardo's POV.Turning the steering wheel I brought the from hercar to a halt at the lights. Beaming out of the car window I was met with the scowling face of an old lady staring out of the back seat of the adjoining car.Today may not have been a happy day for her I mused and continued to drum my fingers on the steering wheel, feeling delighted.Even heavy traffic that I normally have zero tolerance towards, has not been able to effect my happy moodThere was no sane reason for me to feel delighted but I just could not manage to keep this grin from making it's way on my face.Fate.The word that I had never

Saira's POV."He has always had women vying for his attention but he just swats them away as flies." Dhruv continued."That is not a nice way to talk about women." I said glaring at him and he shrugged."The ones that surround us, well most of them are no more than flies trying to stick to sweet- money." His lips twisted before he continued "You are different. You have to be or my friend wold not have bothered about you.""Do you know him since long?" I asked wanting to change the topic."Our families are friends. Leo is older than me by a few years and we only got really close few years back after I started working on my business."
Marooned With A Billionaire Chapter 24. Ray of hope
Saira's POV. My mother is alive! She is here sitting right in front of my eyes. It still does not feel real. I don't know how this happened and at this point I don't really care. Her being back in our lives is nothing but a miracle. We were sitting in my living room. My instinct is to rush to my mother and get lost in her hug. Knowing I cannot do that does not really help me in controlling my emotions in any way. She may not remember now but when she had just entered the apartment she did seem to recall some bits of her past. She remembered my scars. I try not to panic once again at the memory of the cause of the scars. It is evident she gets some flashes of her old life once in a while. Leonardo says she does not remember and so I should not try to alarm her. I don't really agree. I don't agree with him at all and would have done what I wanted to , had I not seen how alarmed my my moth

Saira's POV.He touched my shoulder with his other hand, manoeuvring me to turn towards him. My breath trapped in my chest as he stepped close to me.I had to tilt my head up slightly to continue to look at his face."I don't need luxurious Zavi if I can have this." His voice was soft as he gestured with his hand towards our surrounding- which is my home!Is he mocking me? No, he does not seem to be. He must have seen the confusion on my face because he continued to explain "This –warmth, an obvious sense of lived in and loved feel."He took another step towards me, my shoulder almost touching his chest."I know today I was not welcome." His lip twisted slightly in a crooked smile "But one day I hope you will open your door to welcome me."I did not know how to respond to his words. His close proximity was nit helping me to think straight either.His large frame and the absolutely manly s

Leonardo's POV."I am not a womanizer! Have never been." I blurted wondering what could have brought this one."It is okay. I am not judging you." She said her tone pacifying.She may not be judging but she definitely believed it!I have never bothered- or as my mother puts it often- given two hoots about what anyone thinks about me.She had warned me my 'I give a damn to anyone's opinion about me' attitude would land me into trouble with the person whose opinion would matter to me.I had laughed at her claims and scoffed off the thought, pretty confident that no one would ever matter to me for me

Saira's POV. "Zavi it is just you and me here for at least some time. I am sure Dhruv must be looking for us but I am not sure how far the currents have carried us in that storm. We were not too long ijn the sea so I am sure help will not be too far." I nodded before remembering he could not see since he was not looking towards me as he had promised he will not. And somehow I do trust him. I sat quietly as I heard sound that told me he was adding some dry branches and twings that he had collected and soon I could feel the fire be larger than before. It crackled and some bits of sparks kept flying around as the occasional not so dry wood may be coming in contact

Saira's POV. "-You do understand what I am saying don't you Zavi? I am just saying that we should – er shed our clothes-" "Shed our clothes?" I squealed, I was not scared, not at all. On the contrary I was having a tough time trying not to laugh out loud. Leonardo can be so adoring and cute at times that it just does not suit with his Casanova image! Even in the not so bright light by the fire I could make out the man had gone red in the face due to embarrassment! A Casanova asks a girl to strip with the good intention of her not falling ill and then blushes because of the way it sounded. I coughed a

Saira's POV. This man has been trying his best to meet my expectations and win my heart. To have someone like him in my life I would have to be terribly lucky. However luck has not been particularly fond of me in the recent years. Coming close to me will complicate things for him. Mira holds a very special place in my heart and my life. I understand her internal trauma and mental stress but I cannot risk a repeat of what happened to me that fateful night years ago. And today- I do not remember how I fell into the ocean today but I cannot rule out Mira's involvement - I shivered at the very possibility and could not even bear to think about it.

Saira's POV.I awoke to paws prodding on my chest. I could hear a voice in the distant muttering some chants. Is this how everyone feels after death.I am dead, right? Do wild animals handle us in afterlife? Perhaps they are creatures for specific purpose?This must be a transit booth or something. I need to see. Why do my eyelids feel so heavy? Where are the rest of my body parts.I felt a jerk and salty water hit my tongue as it rose from inside me and I coughed it out of my mouth.I choked as some of it came out of my nose.Was I at the bottom of a deep pit? How did I fall inside a pi

Leonardo's POV. The boat rocked making me stumble but my determination was stronger than any rational thought my brain could conjure. I felt eyes on me but I did not stop to check. Lifting my body up I dived into the only water. Taking a deep breath I started swimming in the direction where I had seen the dolphins in the distant. The streak of light blue between them may have been visible only for a split second before disappearing but I knew that colour was of Zavi's gown. I could hear faintly Dhruv's voice calling out to me in the background over the din of the motor boat and sounds of my swimmi
Marooned With A Billionaire Chapter 53 The ocean claims
Saira's POV. An hour before the old couple spotted the Dolphins frolicking in the ocean in the previous chapter. My surrounding was like a bottomless pit that was sucking me in as I hurled into it. Desperately I trashed around in my attempt to clutch at something – anything that would put a stop to my fall. No matter how much I tried I was barely able to move my limbs. They felt so stiff and heavy. With effort I pushed open my eyelids only to feel a sudden piercing pain in my eyes. Water! Sea Water! Fear spread into my heart like the shadows cast by the setting Sun as I realised I was floatin

Leonardo's POV. My first instinct was that of a relief that Zavi was not with him. I shot him a glare leaving Dhruv to tell him how I was also looking for her and we had no clue. "When did you see her last?" The man has the audacity to quiz me like this! "It;s been over two hours I think." Dhruv supplied making me want to tape his mouth shut. My eyes focused on Sam as I started to make a rude comment but the words never left my mouth, The expression on his face for some reasons made fear clutch at m

Leonardo's POV. "Stop shoving me!" I practically shouted glaring around trying to figure out who had pushed me. When my eyes contacted no one close enough to be able to even touch me it just worsened my temper. Attack and take cover. A common strategy of trouble makers "Coward!" I shouted looking around indenting my voice to reach the miscreant. "Leo?" Dhruv's voice made me turn around to face him, "What is it?" I snapped. "Easy old man. What is wrong?" he asked as he walked towards me. "Mind your own busi
Marooned With A Billionaire Chapter 50. Peeking Past
Dressed in a formal trouser suit she looked every bit professional that she wanted to be. The navy blue seemed like a stark contrast to her reddish brown hair. Though I could not see her eyes from here I am sure the moss green colour must be looking even more lively and blazing today. The figure hugging suit clung to her, giving a hint of her curvy body without actually giving away any detail. As I moved closer to her my smile got bigger. I groaned silently when she moved away from the table she had been standing near to another further away. She was probably not even aware of my presence unlike the other occupants of the room.
