Almyra's POV, My mouth hung open, dumbfounded and taken aback by Xavier's words. 'Really, he didn't sign it?' were the words my eyes spoke for me as I stared at his eyes, seriously astounded. Isn't that what he wanted, to be out of his life? "I did sign it.. and I never asked you to leave, Almyra.." he said, his words stunning me even more as if he actually heard the words in my head. "Almyra," He called out again. "Okay so what?" I lashed out, glaring at me, "I wanted the divorce, I fulfilled my own parts of the formalities to annul whatever union we ever shared, whatever you do has nothing to do with me anymore!" "Almyra, you can leave me.." He uttered next, surprising me but I had responded back, " I already did!" Xavier let out a chuckle suddenly, causing me to crease my brows in a mix of surprise, and frustration. I kept glaring at him, real hard this time! In the silence that had set in upon his chuckle that seemed to boil my blood so much at his nonchala
ALMYRA'S POV. "What do you mean by no Keith?" I responded after it looked like the deal was going to collapse. Yeah it was on the brink of collapsing anyways. "Quantrum Spheres would not be partnering with this company." Keith gaze was still set on the file in which he held in his hand. Keith was one hell of a stubborn dude, well, he would listen to me his sister and….. "This deal is going to take is worldwide, I mean we are both a popular company but trust me, we would soar high if we could get this deal done." I was jolted out of my thoughts as Xavier spoke. "Well, your company could do that on their own and Quantrum Spheres would also do that on their own." Keith replied almost immediately, setting his gaze on Xavier who sanl slowly into his chair. I cleared my throat a little before I spoke, "The estimated amount in which our company would be getting annually would be?" I looked at Xavier's secretary as I spoke, at least breaking the silence. "The estimated amount annually
Xavier's POV I walked out of the office pissed and ignored everyone who greeted me. Well if there's any greater word than pissed you could use it. I saw kitara on the way and I tried to evade her, but it was in a short notice, she caught me. “Where are you heading to?” She barged into me and flashed a smile at me. “Where could I possibly be heading to” I said as I glanced through my wristwatch and a sigh followed. Kitara has always been the type to cling so much, even in the public. Too bad, it was not something in which I liked. “Are we heading home?” She jolted me out of my thoughts as she held my pinky finger. “Shit, we are in the public!” I said inwardly, so inaudible for her to hear. “What's that?” She questioned. “Nothing, it's nothing,” I looked at her in the eye before walking past the gate. “I'm heading home, I don't know about you though.” I opened that car and closed it as I entered looking at Kitara through the tinted windows. She looked pissed as she went to thaw
ALMYRA'S POV It's been three days since the partnership deal between Quantrum Spheres and Xavier's company. Xavier on the other hand has stayed in his lane since I told him the false news about me and Malum. Well I guess he does not know about Malum in a way or two. I mean, Malum is a gay. He could be referred to as a profound gay who has been in different kind of relationships. Even if he was a gay though, he had still experience break ups. There's no escape in this relationship, even though you are a gay or lesbian, there is just no escape route to break ups. As the days went by, Xavier's behaviour came less intense, but his gaze remained fixed on me. His eyes, filled with longing that made my skin prickle with heat. I on the other hand have always tried to brush it off, but I just can't deny the effect he had on me. I knew that if things kept happening this way we would be involved in more than just business. I don't want that to happen so I summoned courage to meet him one
ALMYRA'S POVAs I and Malum walked towards the bar, I heard a phone ring, but it was not mine.I checked my bag to see if it was because I was not myself at the moment.Malum slipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone. "Give me some minutes."Malum walked few inches away as he answered his phone call."I think I have to get somewhere, real quick," Malum said, setting his gaze at me."In how many minutes time would you be back?" I replied him almost immediately.He checked his wristwatch. "I think thirty minutes from now." "Okay, I guess I would drink aloe then." I muttered under my breath."I'm sorry Almyra, it's urgent but I would make sure I get back quickly." Malum stated with a worried look on his face."No problem then, bye." I waved my hand as I walked into the bar.The sound of the music in which they played made the place noisy, it was a dimly lit bar though. Well, I walked to where I would get a drink as I had planned to drink as many as I could.I seeked sol
ALMYRA'S POVI woke up as I checked time. It was twenty three minutes seven. I groaned weakly as I managed to stand up.I sighed slowly. "Eeww," I said slowly as I could perceive the strong scent of alcohol.I belched and it was the odour of alcohol that came out."I guess I drank too much yesterday." I said loudly as I got up from the bed.I took my bath and got prepared, it was already fifty four minutes past eight and I got out of the compound. I had a meeting to attend by 10amI drove into the gate of the company. It was another day to face Xavier again, who knows how broken he would have been since yesterday.Had it been he took care of me when he had the chance I guess things would not turn out the way it was.Well, I walked into the office, still nursing the pounding headache from the previous night's escapades. I had hoped to tackle today with a clear mind, but the lingering effects of my drunken stupor made my every step feel like a chore.As I made my way to the conference r
ALMYRA'S POVI sat down on the bed still, and Malum comforted me the more I cried."You should stop crying now," Malum voice echoed in the room as is dripped in warmth."Yeah of course, I mean it's fine now." I sniffed as I cleaned the tears with the handkerchief in which Malum passed to me.Malum stood up from where he was and walked towards the fridge. He brought out a bottle of milk out from the fridge along with two cups."You would need alot of strength if you are going to explain what happened," Malum chuckled as he set his gaze at me."You never cease to amaze me," my voice was husked with emotion."What are friends for girl?" Malum teased, his voice dripped whit a hint of sarcasm."You really wanna know?" I asked as I furrowed my eyebrow."Umm…."You are already staying to long I'm answering," I snapped. "Scared?""Nevermind, umm, I don't wanna know." His lips curled into a smile."Fuck you!" I cursed.I and Malum has always been best of friends since we were little. People wo
ALMYRA'S POV.I walked into the company with a red suit along with a red high heel, it was my first time of wearing one of its kind.My shoes made noise as I walked, causing everyone to look at me, the source of the noise. Not like I care.Since the absence of Xavier, it looked like life has taking such a devastating turn. But I just had to pretend like everything is alright, and I guess I'm pretty good at it.I barged into my office, and made for the chair.Well, well, well. I gave a sigh of relief.Not too long after, I heard a knock on my door."Come in," I said as I dropped the cup of coffee in my hand.The door was opened and it was Xavier's secretary. She was the busy type, and I see why Xavier left his company in her hands for the time being."Good morning." She said as she held se files across her chest."Good morning," I replied as the clicking sound of mouse echoed."About the project," she stated still standing."You can have your seat." I gestured to a seat at my front for
