Almyra's POV, “Who…who the fuck are they Ben!?” I stuttered as I yelled under my breath. My voice revealed how tense I was, it could not be hidden in any possible way. If I'm to die then Xavier's face should be the last thing I should see so why does it have to be now? “I have no idea of who they are,” Ben successfully gained control of the steering wheel again and the car surged forward the more, its engine kept roaring as it surged forward. “We just have to lose them first,” his voice was uneasy and he inhaled sharply. “Then we can call the fucking cops!” He yelled in frustration. The black car surged forward to where our car was and it slowly brought down the window. My face was diverted to them and it felt like I was magnetized to the car, I could not take my eyes off as the window slowly came down. But it never stopped the car from pursuing ours, and finally a female looked towards our direction with an evil grin. “Oh my fucking days!” I brought ours down on seeing who it
Almyra's POV, The look on Keith's face was one in which I've never seen before. Anger, rage, terror. I coughed slightly to clear my throat, "Are you ever gonna let me walk through that door?" I motioned my hands towards the sitting room before placing my palms on my forehead. Keith just arched his eyebrow and gritted his teeth, "where the fuck have you been Almyra!?" He yelled. But even in that yelling, I could sense pity clouding his anger and love, taking over his rage. "Where did you think I went to Keith, where?" I let out a slight scoff before laughing sarcastically. Of course it's weird for him to ask a question like this. Me talking to myself inwardly was cut short as I heard Keiran's voice in the sitting room. "Who is that Keith?" His baritone voice pierced out of the sitting room. "It's Almyra," Keith was a zero percent hesitant to speak. Like what the fuck is going on with them? It was not long after Keith's response before I started hearing pounding footsteps,
Almyra's POV, As I settled into the bathtub, the warm water enveloped me, soothing my tense muscles, easing the aches of my back and my head in which I got from Chris the non-human. The soft ripples of the water caressed my skin, calming my mind. I closed my eyes, letting the gentle warmth seep into my bones. The dimmed lights of the bathroom cast a warm glow, creating a serene ambiance. The sconces above the sink emitted a soft, golden light, casting a warm reflection on the water's surface. The LED candles flickering on the countertop added a peaceful ambiance, their gentle dance mesmerizing. The water's surface reflected the soft light, creating a shimmering effect that seemed almost hypnotic. I felt my worries slowly drifting away, carried by the gentle lapping of the water against the tub's edges. The warmth seeped deeper into my muscles, relaxing my shoulders, my neck, and my mind. My breathing slowed, and my thoughts grew quieter. The world outside receded, leaving only the
Almyra POV, The silence between the both of us was offending but I still maintained my position. After all, I survived being alone, without him for months, almost years. So this would be normal right? But I don't want to experience the pain that I experienced while he was away from me, I don't want to feel those pain any more. “Yes I would come,” his deep voice jolted me from my thoughts causing me to make a loud gasp. “Only if you convince them actually.” “Come on babe,” I yawned. “Are you afraid of them? I mean I saw the way you battered Chris's face so can't you do that to them also,” I teased. He probably knew that I was pushing him into a ditch, a pit. He wouldn't dare. “Even if you call me something sweeter than that I won't bulge,” his scoff went a long way but I nodded while snickering. “If you say so then I guess I would just talk to them.” I was about to hang up the phone when he called me. “Almyra.” “Yeah,” I shook my head even when he could not see me. “You kno
Almyra's POV, They kept looking at me with rage filled in their eyes before Kaleb broke the silence. “What the fuck did you mean by Xavier!?” He barked and he spilled his drink causing the marbled floor to be painted in the color of Kaleb's drink, wine. “Look Almyra we all agreed that Xavier would have nothing to the with us until the day he goes back to the ground.” Keith was also annoyed but he cloaked it in his voice. His voice was cool, yet detached. “I never agreed such a thing with you people,” I turned to the fridge to pick a can of coke. I guess I was drinking it after all the banters I made with Ben in the car the other day. “Or can anyone of you remind me of when I said such a thing? Or can anyone of you tell me when I agreed to not have anything to do with him?” “Wait, did you mean you guys are–” “And it's not like Xavier and I are back together,” I interrupted Keiran rudely. “At least it's not my funeral he's attending.” “Why the fuck are you reacting this way!?”
Almyra's POV, I walked slowly towards where Keiran was seated and I bent low and reached for the pendant. “You can have your seat,” he gestured his hand towards a brown coloured couch. The frames in his room were catchy. In one of them was the picture of a lion and in another was the picture of a woman who held the moon on her hands. “You can sit down,” he jolted me out from my thoughts and I nodded my head before I sat down on the couch. “A nice room you have for here,” I smiled, my gaze was plastered on the pendant in his hands and I rose up from where I sat. “Who gave you that?” I asked while pointing towards the pendant and his reaction changed. To a frown. He never had any girlfriend about five to ten years ago so there's no where that pendant would rust like the way it did. “Did that bring back memory of someone you once cared for?” I asked him in a formal way and he nodded before he gripped it tightly causing his veins to pop out and his biceps became more visible. I sh
Almyra's POV, I turned back to see Keiran on his feet, with a straight face. "Yeah? You called me," my voice was barely above a whisper. He looked at me in the eyes as he was standing there. The silence became defeaning and his stare just kept getting intense. "Do you need something," I tilted my head before I crossed my hands across my chest. A soft sigh escaped his lips, "Let Xavier come over here for the party," a hint of smile played on his lips. Immediately Keiran said this, a warm glaw spreaded across my chest and of course I smiled before running to hug him. "Thank you so much!" My voice was covered in joy as I mumbled on his shoulders. He was taller than me, so yeah. "You are welcome," he returned the hug and a light chuckle escaped his lips. "Do you really mean that?" I teased and pulled back from him alot to set my gaze on him. He scoffed before returning the look, "Do you need two response?" I hugged him again on saying that. As I pulled back, I could not help
Xavier's POV, “Hey,” I heard a feminine voice close to me immediately I opened my eyes. “You were asleep about twelve hours ago.” It was Gina's voice. I guess she has something to do today since she was waking me up for the first time in a million years. “Like seriously!?” I sat up from the bed with a surprised look. “Well, it's not that I'm going anywhere today actually.” I rubbed my eyes to make my vision more clear since I was just waking up. “Since when did you start sleeping ten, eleven and even TWELVE hours,” she stressed the twelve in the sentence and let out a light chuckle. “I don't know actually,” I shrugged and sat down on the couch that was close to the bedside. “Hmm hmm” Gina cleared her throat, I know it was to probably get my attention but I stayed mute without sparing her a glance. “Hmm hmm” It was the second time she was doing that but I remained mute, I just scoffed silently and picked up the newspaper that was on the couch. “Are you fucking deaf!?” She
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
ALMYRA'S POV."What?!""He is still coma ma'am," a nurse said as she held her hand together. "The day of his awakening is still unknown to us also."The tears just rolled down my cheek uncontrollably. "But you said the surgery was successful, am I right?""Yes ma'am," she bent her head low. "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.The shock on my face could not be compared to that on Hilda's face.Where did he come from?Where was he hiding?Was he waiting to see what Hilda's final action would be?Different types of questions kept on flooding in my head as I looked at his almost lifeless body.I scanned his body for the bullet and my eyes met where the bullet went into, it was his left shoulder.Luck was truly on his side as it did not go into his heart, thank goodness. Hilda's mouth was still opened in shock as the cops came in and surro
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
ALMYRA POV. Shivers went down to my bones immediately she brought out the gun, her were deadly and she could not help but even reveal the hate more and more. "Get started with what?" 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
