Almyra's POV,

"Xavier.." I called out in my intoxicated state as I realized the face of the person who had caught me was a stranger.

I felt a sharp pang in my chest as I slowly straightened myself and quickly withdrew away from the man's hold.

My gaze wandered everywhere else in the place I was, not sparing a single glance at the person before me while I searched for Xavier.

I was sure it was him I sighted.. or had my brain and vision decided to play tricks on me?

"Hello.." the stranger muttered as he waved his hand to get my attention, which I think worked as I stared at him this time. However, in the next few seconds, my attention drifted to my thoughts as more questions ran through my mind. My Feelings for Xavier were beginning to get out of hand, and I knew could one day be the ruin of me.

I was so caught up in my thoughts about him that I hadn't realized walking away from the man who had saved me from my fall and didn't give a thank you. But by the time I realized, I was i

    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

"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

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

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

    ALMYRA'S POV. The breaking news of the day was: Hilda Farell dead after judgment was passed and Kitara Anderson sentenced to life imprisonment. "Whoops," a soft exhale escaped my nostrils as I saw Kitara being moved to a prison. That bastard should be sent to alcatraz instead of this prison. She deserves a mashed potato and not normal food. "Stop." I heard a voice beside me immediately I raised my hand to switch off the television. "Hold on." "I don't think you should be seeing this," I turned to him but he did not spare me a glance "You already told Gina to visit her yesterday and she went already but I was just too busy to go along with her," I held his hand. For the first time, tears rolled down Xavier's cheek as his gaze was set on the television. A picture of a rope used for hanging was shown in Hilda's part and Kitara's part kept replaying. "I still can't believe I did not get to tell her a proper goodbye," Xavier grasped the cloth on the bed tightly

    ALMYRA'S POV. I opened the door of Xavier's room and I paused in shock, the room was lit and the curtains were opened, the rays of the sun poured in. "Hey," Xavier winced as he tried sitting up on his bed and Malum rushed towards him to help him up. "So do you still think I'm lying?" Gina's angelic voice could be heard behind me. My mouth was covered with my hands as I kept on gasping in shock, surprise and happiness. "I still can't believe." "Like how? How did it happen?!" I was excited like I had never been before…maybe. Gina pushed me towards him and I made her stop after holding her hand. "Give me a minute." My voice was more of a whisper. "Are you gonna keep me waiting?" Xavier arched an eyebrow and I knew it was still the Xavier I know, the Xavier I loved. "I'm sorry," I dropped my hand down and ran towards Xavier before holding his shoulder and I scanned his body. The spot that he was shot could not be seen since it was bandaged already. I hugged him and he winced

    ALMYRA'S POV. Gina walked into the sitting room looking disappointed. "Where were you going to?" I placed my hand on my waist. "At this time of the day." She ran her hand through her hair. "I wanna see my mom." The smile on my face faded immediately I heard what she had just said, I dont think Gina would be fine when Hilda is finally hanged. I'm pretty sure that it would take time for her to accept that her mom's no longer with her or she would not be coming again and she won't get to see her or speak to her again. "Why?" I finally questioned her after she kept on changing the leg that she rested on. I guess she was waiting for my answer.

    ALMYRA'S POV. "Are you gonna watch him?" I turned to Malum and he arched an eyebrow. "You do know that she almost killed you right?!" If anyone was asleep, the person would have woken up with the way Malum shouted. I walked slowly to him. "Gina give us a minute please." Gina nodded. "Sure, I would do that." She walked out of the room and shut the door behind her. A loud exhale escaped Malum's nostrils and her placed his hand on his waist. "Almyra you can't talk me out of this." "What if I want to go?" I crossed my hand above my chest and did not even mind the hairs that was partially blocking me from seeing Malum clearly. He clenc

"But we don't know when he would wake up."The opening sound of the door behind me made me look back and I saw Gina, her eyes seemed like it was on the verge of popping out.She ran towards me and held my hand tightly. "Where's Xavier?!"I was silent and I held her hand back. "He would be fine."Such an irony, I was crying and I'm telling her it would be okay?! Fucking fu

    Almyra's POV. "Get started with what?" I arched an eyebrow as the sweat dripped down my face, my cloth was soaked already and it made me cold. I just wanted to get out of this place so bad but that is impossible. Hilda really played her cards well and I couldn't still believe that I was so foolish. This was a time to be very cautious but I let my guard down and look where it landed me in…a fucking piece of shit. I could say a ditch actually. If there's any blessihg or miracle that is supposed to happen in the future, I kept on praying inwardly that it should come now. "You asked me to tell you why I fucking dislike every single thing about you right?" She jolted me out of my thoughts amidst gritted teeth. "I hate your breath also." I was not moved, instead I just smiled and she even looked pained the more. She was desperate to see me lifeless, it won't be long before her long wish comes to pass so she should just enjoy every moment because I'm suffering at every tick of the cloc

I said amidst a gritted teeth. "Ain't in for no shit with you." She laughed and I just felt more offended. "Nah, you are not gonna do no shit with me." "It's great that you know," I spoke with confidence but I could swear that I was fucking afraid than when I stood on the top of a tall building at he thirteen. Hilda furrowed her brows and scoffed. "I'm not even sure you would get to leave this place." "What do you mean by—" She cut me short when she raised her palm up. "Oops! I forgot that you would leave this place," she smiled in an evil way. "But in a lifeless body." I swallowed hard and tightened my grip on the chair, the pain from my wrist and ankle was no longer troubling me again. Hilda would not play with this chance, she knows that it's a one in a million chance of killing me and she

    Almyra's POV. I opened my eyes but it was still dark and I looked around but I was unable to see a single thing. The veil that was used to cover my head was so black and thick. All I remember was when I got a call from Hilda that she wanted to apologize to me and I can't even believe I thought she actually wanted to apologize. I saw her face immediately I turned back but it was too late for me to even intercept the gun that was sent to my forehead. Ahh! My forehead screamed in pain immediately I remembered how I went unconscious. Hilda has her way of doing things and I could not help but keep questioning myself over and over on why she hates me, but I was fed up already. I won't hesitate to take action from now on. That has to be when I at least escape from this dark place but I can't even see a fucking thing. All I know is that I'm tied to a chair, both my hands and my leg…the only thing I kept on doing was shaking myself off but it was just too tight. "Where the fuck are you H
