Almyra's POVAlarm sounds woke me up and I jumped off from bed. It was some minutes past six. I guess I was long gone from sleep since I slept late last night.I walked towards the curtain and opened a part of it, the rays of the sunlight brightening up a part of the room and illuminating the dust particles that danced in the air, like tiny ballerinas performing a choreographed routine. The warmth on my skin was a gentle caress, a comforting embrace that seemed to whisper, "A new day, a new beginning."As I stood there, bathed in the golden light, I felt a sense of hope stir within me. The darkness of the previous day, the burden of firing my secretary has now adjusted. I guess it was the feeling of betrayal that made me think the way I did yesterday. I guess I had a lot on my plate. That was why I was not able to think straight.I opened the curtain wider, allowing more sunlight to flood the room, chasing away my shadows that lingered in the corners.The brightness was almost blind
Almyra's POVI sat where I was and went through Aurora Joules credentials and grades. It was a good one and she didn't seem to suck in he grades, that's great. Aurora Joules…a new name, a new candidate. I focused on her credentials, trying to distract myself from the emotional weight of the day. Her grades were impressive, a consistent stream of high marks and accolades. I noted her academic achievements, her extracurricular activities, and her personal statement.As I delved deeper into her file, I found myself becoming increasingly interested in this young woman. Her passion for her field shone through in her writing, and her experiences seemed to have prepared her well for the challenges ahead.For the first time since the difficult conversation with Ms Thompson, I felt a spark of enthusiasm. Maybe, just maybe, Aurora Joules could be the fresh start I needed. I made a mental note to schedule an interview with her, eager to learn more about this promising candidate.As I closed her
Almyra's POV,I got up from where I sat and I walked out of my office along with my bag and I shut the door behind me. I checked my wristwatch as I made for the exit, the time was already sixteen minutes past five.I drove to a particular spot and I parked by the side of the road and I got down. I let out a sigh as I came out of the car and walked towards a bench in the road as I admired the evening sun, it was a very beautiful one. The warm glow of the evening sun cast a serene ambiance over the surroundings as I walked towards the bench. I felt the gentle breeze rustle my hair, carrying the sweet scent of blooming flowers. The sky was painted with hues of orange, pink, and purple, a breathtaking sunset that seemed to stretch on forever.I sat down on the bench, feeling the worn wood beneath me, and let out a deep sigh. The stress and tension of the day began to melt away as I gazed out at the tranquil scene before me. The world seemed to slow down, and for a moment, everything felt
Almyra's POV,As I wiped the tears off my eyes it was like I went back in time. My thoughts drifted back to the time when I, Keith, Keiran and Kaleb would always stick together in the Orphanage home.The memories came flooding back, like a wave crashing over me. I remembered the four of us, Keith, Keiran, Kaleb, and me, huddled together in the orphanage, a bond of brotherhood forming between us. We were each other's family, relying on one another for support and comfort in a place that often felt cold and unforgiving.I recalled the late-night conversations, the shared dreams, and the mischief we would get up to, trying to make each other laugh in the darkest of times. We were a team, a unit, a family and nothing could break us apart.I smiled through tears, remembering Keith's infectious laugh, Keiran's quiet strength, and Kaleb's wild imagination. We had been through so much together, and yet, we had always found a way to emerge stronger, our bond unbreakable.My thoughts also drift
Almyra's POV,I woke up the next morning and I saw Malum lying next to me on the lower part of the couch. I cleaned my eyes as I stood up from where I lay down.I guess we both slept off while searching for what to get for my brothers for their birthday that would be coming up in one day now.Malum has really gone deep in his sleep and I could hear him snoring silently. I picked up my phone and sound recorded him as he snored.I walked out of the sitting room as I went to get a cup of coffee from the kitchen. I met Kaleb in the kitchen with a cup of coffee and two pancakes. "Good morning Al." I could barely hear Kaleb's voice since his mouth was already filled up."Did you ever think of something else other than eating?" I teased him with a stiff laugh."Ok, that's not nice." Kaleb pointed towards me as he continued eating."Then you should stop eating too much," I crossed my hands defensively as I scoffed."I eat only three times a day Al. Three." Kaleb tried to talk defensively as
Almyra's POV,After I purchased the gifts in which I would be giving to my triplet brothers on their birthday I gave it to Malum so my brothers won't know about it.I handed Malum the carefully wrapped gifts, making sure they were secure in his possession. "Make sure they don't find out, okay?" I whispered, a conspiratorial grin spreading across my face.Malum chuckled and nodded, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I've got this. Your secret is safe with me."I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of excitement building up inside me. Tomorrow was going to be a special day, one that I knew on a short notice which was about two days ago. My triplet brothers, Keith, Keiran, and Kaleb, were turning another year older, and I wanted to make it a birthday they would never forget. I wanted to tomorrow to be a day that would make me forget about all the tough times I've faces in recent days, weeks and months.I quickly dialed the number of the party designers, my mind racing with the d
Almyra's POV,The attention of everyone was diverted to the door as the creaking sound became intense and louder. A man who seemed to be in his mid sixties walked into the door along with different men, they were without a doubt his bodyguard."What the fuck!?" Malum sweared behind me as his mouth was wide open."Our day is truly blessed." Keith said and lips slowly curled into a grin."Yeah, it is, without a doubt." Keiran said as he gripped his glass tightly.I looked around the room and everyone was left stunned, the guests and part of my workers in which I invited, including me. "Grandpa?" Kaleb's voice was barely above a whisper and his lips spreaded into a smile.I ran to him and hugged him tightly, tears of joy streaming down my face. "Grandpa, is it really you?" I asked, my voice shaking with emotion. He hugged me back, his arms warm and familiar."Of course, it's me, kiddo," he replied, his voice was gruff but loving."I've missed you all so much."As we hugged, the room erup
Almyra's POV,I rose to my feet from where I sat with Aurora, my face beamed with a smile as I walked away slowly.I heard the door open from a distance, I paused and looked at the door to see who it was this time.As the door opened slowly, I saw a man who seemed to be in his mid thirties, I knew the face was familiar but it was kind of difficult for me to remember who it was.He took calculated steps towards me. Every step he took felt like his face was getting more and more familiar."Good morning Al." I heard his voice, cool and calm. Even his voice was familiar.I had a puzzled look on my face. "Cole?" "Yeah it's me." He stretched forth his hand for a handshake which I accepted."Someone invited you, who was that?" A smile curled my lips as I spoke."I came here all by myself, no one did." He had a hint of sarcasm in his voice."Wow, you must have eyes almost everywhere then." I chuckled lightly."You're right on track." He smiled and took his seat."I would go get you a drink."
