~Zara Todd’s POV~
It’s been months that we have been together and every day with him feels like everything to me. We get up together in a same bed sometimes, his hands circling my waist and my legs tangled on his body. We were always together but last few months have been like a heaven that I had always imagined on my dream and it all felt so much real.
We go to school together and there are so many classes that we study together. Most of the time, he would just send me messages even in the class in both on the cell phone he gifted me and sometimes he would write a cheat to me. And last time when he did, we were almost caught in the action. Thanks to Asher and Melanie for what they had always done to protect us from getting caught.
Okay! Our high school romance is always on top notch. I can’t believe he followed me to the washroom one day, like a so called obsessive boyfriend and we almost kissed for minutes till we were out of brea
~ Zara Todd’s POV~Xavier turns to her and grinds his teeth like he is very much angry right now. He indeed is very much infuriated but he tries to swallow that anger in front of us.“If you promise to behave,” he says as he walks out of there and I stand there in complete dilemma. I don’t know where should I be right now? Should I be with my mother-in-law or should I be with my husband who is hurt and mad right now?I think of just walking away from there but I keep on staring back at them and to him. And then, I decide I should never leave my loved one alone when he needs me the most. So, I just go after him instead of staying over there.I don’t care what she will think about me but I guess that was what she had brought me before, to take care of Xavier.“Xavier! Xavier!!” I cry loudly as I see him rushing towards his room in complete enragement.“Don&rsqu
~Zara Todd’s POV~“Zara, Wake up!” I flutter my eyes and my head shakes a little hearing Xavier’s voice all of a sudden. I don’t know what time it is but he is already awake and has already taken a shower.“What? Is it already 5 a.m.?” I say as I sit on the bed and rub my eyes and look around. Yeah, I slept here in his room last night after that passionate kiss on that couch. You think that’s romantic but no! Last night was such a torture. I thought we could just get back to sleep after that passionate kiss but immediately after some minutes of kiss, Xavier turned back to teacher and I had to practice my problems and go through the lessons till midnight.I really wanted to sleep but thanks to him, I couldn’t. He made me wake to even when I dozed off and I was supposed to go through all the lessons.“It’s 4 am,” he says as he holds my hands and pulls me up
~Zara Todd’s POV~“Will you get up or get down? You kids are keeping us late,” the driver of the bus shouts at us while we stand in the way.“I think we don’t want to get on the bus, thank you,” I say as I hold both of their hands and get off and in no seconds the bus moves away from there leaving us the just the weird and disgusting smell of its mobil from behind.I keep on looking at it like I am going to cry.“I don’t think bus ride is quite well-suited for us,” Xavier says and I give him a dead glare. How could he say something like that right now? Does he know it’s already been so much late and if we don’t get in class on our first period we sure are going to miss the class and Miss Lily is surely going to kill us. I already don’t have good connections with her and these guys are just fueling it every day.“We ju
~Zara Todd’s POV~“I’m in,” Xavier says. What? Are these guys even serious? What are these guys up to? I have never thought that they would be collaborating like this and for some stupid reason like breaking the wedding of their to-be parents.“You guys aren’t serious, are you?” I ask. Both of them look at me with unbelievable eyes. But the one who couldn’t believe this weird situation right now is me. I am completely clueless in front of these two guys.“We don’t joke Zara on these matters,” Asher says sternly and walks ahead of us. Xavier who is standing some metres away from me waits for me at some distance with his bag pack hanging on the one side of his shoulders.With a perplexed reaction, I move towards him and stand beside him.“You won’t do that, will you?” I ask.He smiles lopsidedly and walks ahead with one hand tucked
~Zara Todd’s POV~I don’t believe my eyes. I am sure I kept my purse in my bag. But I was suddenly shocked when I didn’t find it inside my bag. Now, I see the purse in his bag suddenly and even his purse is over there.He had our purses all this time and he just ashamed all of us in the bus last time. How can he do that? Does he hate us or is it something other he wants?He hurriedly tucks those purses into his bag making sure I didn’t see them but I have already seen them. I pretend like I haven’t noticed them as I turn to another direction as soon as he looks at me. I turn to Melanie who is busy looking at the direction where Nathan is sitting.I must admit the fact that every guy in this classroom is weird. I can’t understand anyone of them. The teacher gets in and we all get up to greet him.The whole period I couldn’t think of anything but those purses, he was carrying with him.
~Zara Todd’s POV~ “Why did you hide my purse?” my eyes flutter as I ask him that question. I can’t explain how much I am dying to hear the mystery of that purse right now? “Purse? What kind of purse are you talking about?” he pretends. “Well! I know everything Xavier. Would you please stop doing that? I know that you have both of our purses with you. I saw it this morning in your bag. I am hundred percent sure that I had put my purse in my bag this morning. How come it got out of my bag and got into your bag?” I raise my brows. He feels kind of bemused. He must be trying to hide that fact for so long but to his bad luck, that isn’t going to help him anymore. “I don’t know about that? Are you doubting me for stealing your purse?” he asks. Oh my god! What is he even thinking? I am not doubting him for stealing my purse. That’s completely absurd. Why would a billionaire like him a purse like a poor girl of mine? &n
~Zara Todd’s POV~I just don’t understand this. How can some people be so much selfish? How can they only think about themselves and not about anyone else? We are driving to the hospital to meet Melanie right now. I don’t know how she is but I want to see her so badly that I ask Xavier to drive me out of school right now.“Zara! She will be fine,” Xavier places his hand on my shoulder and I steer my head towards him. My eyes are tired of crying for her and I am so much worried about the worse scenario that might come in front of me.“You know Xavier, it’s a lie. It’s a complete lie,” I say and he turns his head in another direction. Both of us know what is the situation of her. So, it’s hard to believe some comforting words right now. They don’t satisfy me at all.I wish the car would drive fast but I feel as if it is driving very slowly. I feel as if t
~Zara Todd’s POV~ I wait for the call for almost late night. I feel sleepy when Xavier keeps on talking with me. We talk about this and that stuff and the shutter of my eyes seem to be quite tired due to all the tearing process throughout the day.I don’t know when I fall asleep but the alarm of my phone rings exactly at 5 am. It’s our waking up time. My eyes are extra aware in this time. For me, the school has always been so much important and that is why I wake up every day on time.I roll my eyes around the room and find out I am still in Xavier’s room. I slept here, in his room. I stretch my hands to the another part of the bed but I don’t find him. I wake up quickly when I don’t feel him beside my bed.I hurriedly switch on the light and look around the room but I don’t see him at all. He isn’t in the room.“Xavier! Xavier!!” I grab my cardigan and
Epilogue~Zara Todd's POV~I walk down the graveyard. The day, I have been fearing all this time has finally come up. I never wanted Melanie to leave my side.But what was supposed to happen will always happen. Sometimes we can't just take control of our lives. It just goes on the way we never want it to be.We all stand in front of her grave, all of the friends of our class. She has been such an amazing friend to everyone.The whole class mourns in front of her coffin and you won't believe who is mourning the most right now.Yes, it's Nathan. I can see how much hard it is for him. He has been in love with her in last one month. I never thought that the last wish of Melanie could ever be fulfilled. I thought it was im
~Zara Todd's POV~"What?" Xavier freezes at that same point."You liar! You must be lying," he shouts."Why would I lie at the edge of my death? I'm not a fool to joke with my own life," uncle mumbles and Xavier leaves his hands away from him.He becomes hopeless all of a sudden. He surely hated his mother. She never loved him. She never even cared for him.But how much we hate our parents, how much they don't care about us, it's certain that we won't love to hear any bad things to our parents.I don't know what is it called but it's a special bond that connects us with our parents. Even we don't love them we can't hate them hundred percent and that's because they are our parents.Uncle runs away as he leaves his hands from his body and aunt follows.One more time, it's just two of us standing in the midst of the room, speechless and lost.Before, I thought it was me and at that time, it hurt him.
~Zara Todd’s POV~ She walks away from the room and we are left in the room together. Both of us being unanswered of the secrets that she wasn’t even willing to tell both of us.“Xavier! She said I killed my parents,” I want to stand up and walk to him but I don’t get to stand up from there. My knees feel so much weak right now. I don’t have any energy to cope up with anything right now.I feel like the whole world around me has become dull and even the air isn’t moving around me. I feel both the hot sensation of burning on my skin while the inner part of my body shivers with the pain.“That’s not truth. I am sure she is telling a lie. She is such a liar. She has been lying to me all her life and she is lying to you as well,” he says as he walks to me and kneels in front of me.He pulls me into his arms and caresses my shoulders a little faster than he u
~Zara Todd’s POV~‘You don’t deserve to hold that picture.’That sentence triggers Xavier all of a sudden. He looks at her with a mad eyes and then looks back at me and I know what he is going to do the next.“No! No! Don’t do that,” I run to him and quickly grab the picture from his hands and take it away from him.“Zara!” he calls my name with a soft voice as he sees me holding that picture against my chest and tearing out loud.“What the hell are you doing Zara? What’s going on? Who is this man?” he asks.I know he has the same curiosity that I had some moments ago. We young people are so much out of patience. We want everything to be quick and just to be at the time in which we feel okay with.We don’t like when people try to keep us in dark. We have lots of secrets with us. We can hold a lot of secrets tha
~Zara Todd’s POV~“How do you know them?” I shout at Jennifer. This thing is just knocking the air off me. I don’t understand what the hell is my dad and mom’s picture doing with her. And they are together as well.I only had a single picture of my parents and for the that single picture of them is the world. I don’t remember lots of things that I did together with my parents. I just have some vague memories of them creeping on my mind. I wish I have more of their memories.But still after that, just with a single picture of them, their image is deeply engraved in my heart. Just with that picture I have imagined my mom and dad in so many of my dreams and have cried for them. So, I know the image of my dad and mom clearly.How can a daughter do a mistake in knowing her own parents? I know these person along with her in those eighties picture is non-other than my own parents.“Yo
~Zara Todd’s POV~ “You lied to me. Why did you lie to me?” I ask this question in front of Jennifer without even being afraid. Why would I be afraid?She tried to trick me with her such an unbelievable game which is so much nasty and unfair. Why the hell did she do that for god’s sake.“I didn’t lie. That’s the truth,” she says.“Oh! Please! Would you please stop being fake? I have asked Xavier about all of this and he knows nothing about Jack and the relationship was never fake for him,” I say.“And you believed?” she raise her brows.“Yes. Why wouldn’t I? He is my husband and he wouldn’t lie to me. I have heard every bits of truth from his own lips. Why would I believe in you instead of believing in my husband who loves me so much,” I say.“You’ve gained the courage.
~Zara Todd’s POV~“What the hell are you speaking right now? What kind of hospital? Who is in the hospital?” he asks me with the shock plastered on his face.“Xavier, please don’t lie to me now. I know everything and I ... I saw him in the hospital. Hurt, with so many injuries and so much bandages in all his body. How can you do that? How can you just do that Xavier?” I grab his clothes on his chest as I lean my head on his chest and cry so much on his chest.“I don’t get that. I just don’t get the things that you are telling right now. Just fucking tell me what the hell are you talking about?” he shouts as he grabs me away from his body and fixes his eyes on my face but I just cannot face his eyes. I look down on the floor as the tear rolls down my eyes.“What is it Zara? Just fucking tell me,” he shouts.“I met Jack! I met Jack in the hospi
~Zara Todd's POV~As soon as we enter the venue, the colorful lights welcome us. This all seem to be extravagant to be just a normal high school ending party. This party feels more than just a high school farewell.I can see all the students who has been so much studious and quiet in last few months are all different today.Beautiful dress, amazing bodies, that huge smile on their face for coming out of that locked prison like study compartments, is making them so much happy.They look different. And when I look around I don't see any teacher over there. Seems like this party is just for us. Just for students."Let's get inside," Xavier says as he holds my hands but I just don't feel that warmth from his hands. Is it because now, I know about all his truths which he has been hiding from me? Or is it because I see him differently now?I just nod my head and we walked in. Asher follows us from behind.
~Zara Todd’s POV~I rush to the hospital where Jack has been right now as soon as possible. Everything inside me is breaking into pieces. Everything within me is making me weaker from deep within. I don’t want to believe the single thing that she has told me. Who would want to believe all those things?No girl in the world would love to hear and believe the things that she told me some time ago. I hurriedly walk towards Jack’s room and open the door. And …He indeed is lying on the bed. He has the bandage on his head and there are bruises in his face. His right leg is bandaged and hung on the air as well.“Jack,” I close my mouth with my palms. I can’t believe I am seeing Jack like this right now. And the foremost thing is I can’t believe Xavier did it.It can’t be. It just can’t be. How can Xavier do all of this? He was changed. He is changed. At least I thought t
