Almyra's POV

"Almyra! How dare you?"

Even though I've decided not to let my mood be ruined by her, I also wouldn't stand back and get insulted by this slut that had ruined my dream while resting comfortably at the sidelines.

She glared at me real hard, her eyes bulging out wide while veins on her neck popped out but I didn't care. 

"How dare I what Kitara? call you a slut or slap the shit out of your mouth?" I asked her while yawning boredly.

"How dare you hit me !?" She growled after stuttering, her grudge evident in her tone. 

"Wrong answer!, how dare you say that bullshit about me to my face with no fear whatsoever?"

"I dont know if perharps your dilusional mind told you tht you were still talking to the Mrs. Farrell who once upon a time let you run over her but let this be the fucking last tim you would spill nonsense about me" I snapped back. 

"The next time you try it, You won't forget the consequences..."

"Standing before you is Me, Almyra and in an event like this you wouldn't want to mess up with me," A confident smirk appeared on my face.

"What..."

"Trust me, before the end of tonight, you would learn that you wouldn't want to upset me, at least for your family's company's sake. A nice warning from me to you.. back off from me and any intention to annoy me in anyway, if you know what's best for you. " 

With my final warning, I blew my nose on the tissue, then reached for her hand, pulling them in front of both of us as I placed it in her palm before closing it with her fingers firmly. 

Yes, it was disgusting and definitely not womanly but I cared less, i kew there was nothing I could do in here. My action was reciprocated by the shocked frown that formed on her face as her eyes widened even more. I couldn't help and let out a happy chuckle as I began trotting out of the bathroom with my shoulders hanging with pride. 

My steps were brought to a halt as I found Xavier at the door, and my heart skipped a beat. I could feel his gaze particularly on me as he started walking towards my side. 

"Xavier, " Kitara's voice rang next in the restroom, as I observed her from over my shoulders, throwing away the tissue I had shoved in her hand. Had she really been stunned by my actions overall that she still held that? 

She walked past me, and the bumping of her shoulders on mine was intentional as she glared at me with a threatening gaze. 

"Xavier, can you believe —" she trailed off, no actually, she couldn't keep talking as he simply moved past her like she was never there, his focus solely on me. 

As he approached, he called my name, " Almyra.." his voice was strangely gentle and filled with warmth, a tone which was unlike him towards me when we were still together. 

"Xavier.." I folded my arms across my chest and shot him a fierce glare, enough to explain my unfriendly mood, at least, especially towards him. 

"It's so —" his words cut short, interrupted by someone who entered the restroom. 

It was Malum. And thankfully, his timing was just perfect. 

"What are you doing there, Al? Been searching for you everywhere.. " he said, walking towards me while eyeing both Xavier and Kitara.  He went on, "The event is about to start.."

"My dress had some mishaps that needed fixing but don't worry, they're just minor errors I could handle on my own." I replied, my hands on the slit as I showed him the part that had the little problem. 

But really, it was just a little technique to get a reaction from Xavier which worked. 

He frowned on seeing me display my exposed leg due to the slit, to Malum. 

"Let's go, "I said and he brought his hand out for me to hold. I placed my hand in his and we walked away. 

Someone really would've bought the idea that we're a couple which was what we wanted Xavier to see.  Since I couldn't make sense of his relationship with Kitara, then he should also dwell in the attempts to decipher my relationship with Malum or anyone else. 

"That's right! Being shameless even in front of us, Almyra. I still can't believe you were this immoral all along!" Kitara started to bark at me but I have given her my warnings. I just wished she followed them because I meant every word to make things uneasy for her if she doesn't listen."So says the slut that just couldnt get enough of my ex-husband" 

"Almyra, wait.." I heard Xavier's voice next, and found myself halting. 

He motioned and stood in front of me, his gaze shifting from Malum to me then Malum, and he finally spoke, asking instead, "Who is he?" 

My response was cold as ice and in a low tone, "It is none of your business.." 

He looked away for a second, briefly shutting his eyes before opening them again as he said next, "He's your second lover, isn't he? Let me guess, he's offered you a lot more than what you were receiving from me that's why you're with him now." 

My eyes grew wide in utter shock and disbelief as to what he was spouting.

The nerve of this man! 

He continued, his insults still pouring, "Mother, Kitara and Gina were right. You are just a desperate woman, too desperate for my —" 

Malum moved but I held him back, this was my fight!

My actions had also so quick, just before Malum was about to react as well, fuming with rage at Xavier's filthy words. 

I suddenly kicked him at his groin area with my right knee, shutting him up instantly as it was unexpected of course. He winced and yelp in pain, glaring at me next with fiery eyes but I also glared back, undeterred. 

Before he could speak, I started first, "Listen,  Xavier Farrell! I wouldn't tolerate being insulted or having my dignity and morals tainted. I have finally left and letting you be just like you have always wanted so please do the same!"

Anger burned in my eyes as I went on, adding, "I never want you bothering me ever again because it won't end up funny!" And with my final warning, I grabbed Malum's hand and we walked out, leaving a stunned Xavier and Kitara staring at us. 

We reached our seats again as Keith turned to me, "What's wrong?" He asked. It must have been obvious that I was in a shitty mood because of Xavier.

To hell with that man AGAIN!

"Almyra was —" Malum was about to respond when I interjected quickly, "It's nothing." I nudged at him, flashing a knowing look and a nod as he went quiet. 

My reason not telling my already curious brothers anything was because, I knew them too well. Their first action would have been to go straight to Xavier and fight him. 

They are very affectionate and loving brothers, but can also be quite overprotective, even to an extent of getting into fights with someone for my sake. Xavier was already a main target and anything, just anything could lead them to going on a rampage. 

"What is it, Almyra.." Kaleb was the one who kept urging as I let out a sigh, "It was Xavier." 

Just like I said, they were already pumped up for action as I added firmly, "You guys relax! Don't act irrational and let's just enjoy the event."  

Thankfully, they heeded to my caution and relaxed back to their seats. I heaved another sigh, "Xavier just dont know what is coming his way"
