Chapterv 44. On the Ship
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Saira's POV.
Mesmerised I stared at the magnificent Statue of Liberty as it towered above the water. I have seen it uncountable times while moving round in the city. However I have never really paused to stand and admire it.
It has been eight years since I moved to New York but I have never really had the time or liberty to have fun or live the life the way this city offers for relaxing.
Not that I have had any inclination to. Initial years of heartbreak mental stress and responsibility of taking care of my father had been the only concerns that my mind entertained.
When one tries to gather the scattered pieces of one's life and mourns the irreplaceable losses, to make merry is not something that holds appeal.
ShelyKI hope the chapter has been a good read. Leonardo's knows how to corner his Zavi- haha! The past raises it's head. Leonardo is convinced Saira is not guilty. Do you think the evidence will prove him right? Do read on to stay connected with what happens next. Please vote and comment. Love, from me to you.:)

Saira's POV. I narrowed my eyes at his comment "Of course I know Mira and her family. You know that I do!" His head snapped up as his eyes locked with mine for a brief moment before he swung his head in the direction of new arrivals. For a dynamic business tycoon this man can be really obtuse at times! I moved ahead only to have a hand grip my wrist halting me on my path "Where are you going?" He is the limit! "It is not obvious? To perform my duty!" "Zavi you do not need to." I heard an edge in his voice a

Leonardo's POV. I strode towards the group determined to drag Zavi away from that Sam character. "Mr. Norcross!" Michael Johnson greeted me cheerfully as I approached the group of people who had just boarded the ship. "Thank you for inviting me and other staff members with their families for this cruise." There was a chorus of 'thank you's' and 'we are really happy to be here Sir' comments from all around with some familiar faces walking up to me smiling broadly. As was my habit I barely acknowledged them and moved on- almost moved on before I remembered I was trying to be on a friendly conduct on this cruise. Besides, Zavi knew the Johnson's personally

Leonardo's POV. "Leonardo Norcross." I said moodily not attempting to return his smile. "Zavi will you help me to my cabin?" I smiled at her. "Zavi?" The not so good Doctor showed his surprise making me scowl at him. "Mr. Norcross calls me that." "And Zavi calls me-" "Let's get you to your room Mr. Norcross." Zavi did not let me finish. "I will help you Leo. Saira you can show Dr Leo to his room." Has Dhruv decided to be my biggest enemy for this trip. I glared at him and his lips pulled into a smile as though he just realised what he had done. "On second thoughts Saira, let's exchange the Leo's that we would help. I will show you your cabin Doctor." He said winking at me. "Mr. Norcross I am not giving you any painkiller presently however please do let me know if it pains too much. I will come over shortly and tie a crepe bandage." I nodded slightly. "I will tie the crepe bandag
Marooned With A Billionaire Chapter 48. Only Gratitude?
Leonardo's POV. I watched his face break into a smile as Zavi reached him. Nodding at me in curtsy he stepped away as Zavi stepped out and the door closed behind them. The next instant I got up and in a few limps was at the door and cracked in open slightly. "So Zavi huh?" I heard the blasted man ask and though I could not see Zavi's face I wish I could hear her answer his query. But she kept quiet and walked with him. "You like him don't you?" the man asked and I felt myself holding my breath. For the first time in my life I was eavesdropping and had no guilt in continuing so. "You are mad Sam. He is my employer. I have told you how much he has done for my mother. What I have for him is gratitude." Somehow her saying this to the doctor made my heart ache. Was it so difficult to like me? Was gratitude all that I could get? "He likes you, that much is clear Sairu." "Like he must h

Leonardo's POV.Smiling contently I rolled over tightening my hold over Zavi's waist and kissed her cheek with my eyes still closed.Smiling into her eyes my lips touched her cheek. Next moment my mouth scrunched and I almost spat out.Why are Zavi's soft looking cheeks tasting so bland?Worried about her well being my eyes snapped open- my mind still fuzzy with sleep.Holy cow!I was in my bed- alone and dreaming of having Zavi in my arms.I had just planted a resounding morning kiss on my pillow!

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.

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

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

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
Marooned With A Billionaire Chapter 56. Strip please!
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?

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
