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
Almyra's POV, The lights blurred my vision from seeing who that was but I narrowed my gaze to who it was before a hiss escaped my lips on seeing who it was. It was Cole, who the fuck invited that dude?! I knew my brothers loved him so it's possible that they could be the one. Well, they are the host, and it's not like dude is here to do any harm. I walked into my room after I saw who it was, and I shut the door behind me before l let out a sigh. My stomach had started to grumble, so early? Wow! I walked towards the mini fridge and picked up a bottle of water, it was refreshing contradictory to the hunger. I knew I was going to be called out in an hour our two to be cheered for, oh my gosh! It's not supposed to be a day of disappointment, I walked into the bathroom and showered, everyone drop of water sent ease down my spine. I finally got out from the bathroom and cleaned up. This was the hardest part, the selection of cloth, should have done this shit since yesterday and n
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
