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
Xavier's POV, “Morning Mom,” I spoke in a firm and confident voice as she made her way to the living room. “Who the fuck is that Xavi?!” Gina yelled from the room with a curse word. I guess it was nice doing business with her, taking seventy percent of the share is a good thing. “Xavi!!!” Gina yelled again, but this time it was more serious. “Did you think you could cheat me? You are yet to hear—” It was not long before her words were brought to an abrupt stop. “Please would you do me the good of shutting the fuck up?!” My mom yelled in a cold tone forcing Gina to stop. My mom's tone has always been commanding and no one did against her will especially when you are a female. It's a good thing I'm a fucking male. I heard Gina's feet collide with the floor heavily, every step made a loud thump and it became louder until she reached the living room. A gasp escaped her lips and she covered her mouth in shock before you bowed her head before my mom and my mom just smiled and nodde
Xavier's POV, My mother's gaze and that of Kitara were sternly fixed on me and Kitara's eyes became bloodshot. Her smile meant jealousy; it was transparent in her every gaze, and her eyes were locked into mine. I sighed and shifted my gaze to my mother. The look on her face was normal, but I knew how cold she was. She might not reveal it, but I knew what was going on in her mind; she picked up the teacup and took another sip. The phone had stopped ringing, but I was unable to pick it up; I would be completely speechless while on the phone. So there was no point in picking it. "Sit down Xavier," her voice was calm this time. "Take a seat over there," she motioned her hand towards the chair that Gina sat on. "Is there any problem?" My face was engulfed with a frown. "Have your seat," she insisted on the word and I looked into her eyes. But those eyes were void. "Sure," I heaved a sigh. "I would do that." "Did you actually lie to–" Kitara was forced to stop in the middle of h
Xavier's POV, It felt like I was stuck on the ground the more I tried moving, what the fuck is this?! Kitara had reached my mom and I was just about five inches away from where they were. My mom just stood there, without blinking, with no sign of fear; her eyes were fixed on Kitara and nothing else, but Kitara stopped abruptly. "You can use this to kill me," she handed over the knife to my mom and the latter just looked at it and scoffed. "I thought you were going to send that into my body," she chuckled lightly. "You know, I've come face to face with death, I've experienced betrayal, and at the same time, I've betrayed people." She paused and smirked. "So it would not be a surprise to me if you did stab me," she spoke with a piercing stare. "But just pray I don't survive it, because if I do," she stopped and smiled. "If you do?" Kitara replied to her almost immediately. "Then you should commit suicide before I visit you," she gritted her teeth. "Same goes for anyone who dares
Xavier's POV, "What is it about?" I asked her, still in a calm tone but Gina was not taking it in an easy tone. She seemed to be broken, like her heart had already shattered into a million pieces. "What is it that you wanna ask Gina," I muttered under my breath, still in a cool tone, but tears just welled up in the corner of Gina's eyes. "Ha…have you ever prayed for Mom's death before?" She stuttered in pain. I knew it was stupid of her to ask that question, but it was her emotion that was speaking here; I could not blame her through her words. I mean, she's in her mid-twenties, so it's all right. "Have you?" She questioned me again and I was pulled out from my thoughts. "Yeah?" I looked at her with a pitiful glance. "Don't give me those eyes right now," her voice was coated in pain. "Just give answers to my question." She smiled for a moment before it turned to a frown. "I know it's okay for you to be mad but," I paused for a moment before heaving a sigh. "But you don't
Almyra's POV, Finally, D-Day is here, It's funny how time passes away in the blink of an eye; three days are all gone. I was still in my room since the party would be hosted by my brothers and not me, I picked up my phone as my thoughts jolted to Aurora and Rachel. Why the fuck would I forget them? I mean, they made life interesting for me when Xavier and I were apart from each other. I picked up my phone and dialed Aurora's number and she picked it in one ring. "Hey," my voice was calm, even though I had just woken up. "Good morning ma," her voice sounded mystical. Is she surprised that I was calling her? It wouldn't be abnormal to me if she was because this was just the second time I had called her since she started working in Quantum Spheres. So bad of me. "So umm, there would be a party at my place," I cleared my throat. "And I would like you to come." "Really?!" She questioned in a happy tone. "I'd be honored," her voice sounded like honey, sweet and soothing. "Thank y
