Almyra's POVIn recent days I kept bagging deals with companies since Quantum Spheres partnered with Alfred's company.Some seemed to favor us, in which we accepted and those that did not, we declined.Even with that, there was not a day that goes by that I did not think of Xavier. I kept wondering what had become of him as he seemed to have disappeared off the face of the Earth. Today makes it four months exactly since I last saw him and it was on the day I told him there was no good for the both of us.It was the day I saw his captivating smile, his commanding of attention with ease, but after I told him there was no hope for us, it was like he had vanished into thin air. No more appearance at high profile events, no more social media updates, no more whispers about his latest conquests.I missed Xavier, despite myself. I missed the way he made me play hard to get, the way he set his gaze at me that seemed like he could see right through me. But the scars he left on me were even pa
Almyra's POV,I looked at my brothers in awe as the woman left the store. Their eyes, filled with pain. I walked towards them and they looked at me in shock, they were ashamed for a reason but it was not just clear to me, what could be behind it? I asked myself inwardly.Kaleb broke the silence. “Oh, Almyra you are here, I'm only asking since you don't come her often.” I looked at him with a smile plastered on my face. “Yeah, I had to get somethings.” I looked at three of them one after the other as Keith ran his hands through his hair and Keiran on the other hand avoided making a eye contact with me.“I think I need to use the toilet.” Keith placed his hands on his stomach walking out of our midst.What actually happened between them and the lady in which I saw.Kaleb two paces forward as he cleared his throat. “I also think I need to use the bathroom.” The three of them looked at one another and their lips spreaded into a fake smile.“What happened between you and that lady who w
Almyra's POVI ate in a rush as I made squelching sounds in the car while eating. The both of them looked at me in disgust as they scoffed almost every minute that went by.“Would you stop?” Kaleb looked at from the magazine with his face twisting in anger.“You all should take that as a music to your ears.” I snapped back at him and a hiss followed as I took a sip of the milkshake and sent it down with a loud gulp.I looked at all of them with a furrowed eyebrow tilting my head to their angle almost every minute.While I was with them I guess I did not think about Xavier for a while but I knew that I can't just evade that thought.Who knows what condition Xavier might be in, and who even knows where he his. Hilda Farell and Kitara Anderson are not even helping the situation in a way or two, it was like they're just programmed to make life a living hell for me. I always got back at them nevertheless.On the day I rejected Xavier and told him that there is no hope for the both of us I
Almyra's POV,I picked up my phone as it chimed, it was the alarm today was should I say the first day I woke up before the alarm woke me up. It was three minutes past six already.I stood up from the bed with a loud yawn as I made for the bathroom, I looked at my pale skin through the reflection of the mirror.“Aurora Joules.” I said audibly as I glanced through my phone. It's been long since I heard from Rachel, she is the busy type though.She could be of help in revealing who Aurora is in a few days. Since she was the type to put all of her effort into things. I guess Xavier employed the secretary of the year.My phone ringed loud, loud enough to drift me away from my thought as I packed my hair before checking who it was. It was Malum.“Calling me at this hour?” I had a concern look on my face as I picked it up.“Yeah, good morning Mal.” I placed a strand of my hair behind my ear, I guessed I missed it while packing the others.“It's been a while.” Malum hushed over the phone.“Y
Almyra's POV, “Keep and eye on her.” I closed the file in my hands as I set my gaze at Rachel who was still buried in the chair with her legs crossed.“Sure, I would do that.” Rachel nodded enthusiastically.“Nice.” I smirked as I rose up from my seat.“Thanks, Rachel paused for a bit. “Is there anything you want me to do for you again?” “No, not at all,” I shrugged. “Just keep and eye on Aurora please.” “Okay, you don't wanna monitor her?” Rachel questioned with a worried look.“I would be travelling to Paris tomorrow morning.” I said as I arranged my bag.“Wow, that's nice.” Rachel clapped silently as her lips spreaded into a smile. I raised an eyebrow, slightly disappointed by Rachel's subdued response. I had been expecting a bit more excitement, or at least some curiosity. But instead, she just smiled sweetly and said, "That's nice."I decided to prod her a bit, see if I could get a more interesting reaction out of her. "Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it," I said, trying
Almyra's POVI drove to the airport where I would take my flight from. My brothers and Malum took me to the airport where we told one another goodbye before I walked into the airplane.I was not gonna take my private jet since I don't want to be alone. I needed to mix with people and not be the only in the private jet apart from the pilot and maybe five other people.I booked a first class flight though, so I got all the best treats. As I settled into my plush first-class seat, I was greeted with a warm smile by the flight attendant, who offered me a glass of champagne and a selection of fine wines. I chose a glass of merlot and sat back to enjoy the pre-flight amenities.As the plane took off, I felt a sense of excitement and relaxation wash over me. I was looking forward to the long flight, where I could unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet. I guess I would start to take some vacation and break from work more often now. I needed some time alone it could be next month.The flight
Almyra's POVI looked back slowly as I heard the masculine voice behind me, my heart skipped a beat.I saw a male who seemed to be in his mid thirties. His eyes were light brown in color and he was about six feet one. "Hi." I waved to him as I made an expressionless face."You must be Almyra." He stretched forth his hand for a shake."Yeah?" I was still looking puzzled.I looked at his hand and set my gaze at him immediately. This God knows where he came from man just gave me a surprise greeting with a smile in which I tried to return to him.How did he know my name?I was quite famous though, so it was not really surprising."You should be nice to strangers you know." He inserted his hand into his pocket as he inhaled sharply."Do you mind telling me who you are?" I shrugged my shoulders as I was now looking more concerned."I'm Cole Wellesley." He smirked as he leaned on the wall beside him.The fact that he was cute is something that can't be denied, but he was not as cute as Xavi
Almyra's POVI looked at Cole surprised. “What do you mean?” “I said it won't be long yeah,” he paused. “It won't be long before we are done here.” I took a deep sigh of relief as Cole spoke, his words were truly surprising. “Well I thought there was more to that.” I made an expressionless face.“Too bad, that's all.” His lips slowly turned into a sly grin.We all applauded Mr Williams as he sat down with a bright smile plastered in his face. The hall was sure lively and the atmosphere was just the perfect one for a day like this.As the applause died down, Mr. Williams' smile only grew wider, his eyes twinkling with delight. He seemed to be basking in the warm glow of appreciation, and rightly so. The hall was indeed electric, filled with the buzz of conversation and the clinking of glasses.The lights sparkled off the silverware and the crystal chandeliers, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the room. The air was thick with the scent of freshly baked pastries and the sweet
