Almyra's POV,

Cole was standing a few meters away from Xavier, and a smile was plastered on his face.

Yes, I did tell him that we would sign a deal once I see how he would benefit us, but that does not mean he gets to work here.

He waved his hands towards me, I was pissed but I still maintained the smile on my face.

I waved back towards him.

"It's a good thing you are here, ma," Aurora walked up to me with files in her arms and her arms across her chest.

"I promised I would get back to work on Monday, remember?" I looked her in the eyes but she was just still.

"Do you remember?" I came again and she widened her eyes in shock.

"Y-y-yes ma," she stuttered in surprise. "I do remember."

"Follow me to my office," I urged her and she nodded.

"By the way, where's Rachel?" I asked as Aurora, and I made it to my office. "I'm yet to see her," I added.

"She's currently working on some files," Aurora replied to me immediately. "She never seems to stop working."

I unlocked the door and twisted

    Almyra's POV,"Have your seat," I placed my index and my thumb under my chin. "Mr. Cole."He nodded. "Yeah, thank you, Ms Almyra." "You're welcome," I crossed my legs after I sat up. "Why did you come here?" "Because of that," he pointed his hand towards the paper and a smile escaped his lips. "It's my company, willing to offer that amount of money." "I think you already read the terms and conditions," his lips curled into a sly grin."Yeah," I paused. "I have done that already." My gaze was still on the paper and I felt unease surging through my veins."So what do you say?" He mumbled with his deep baritone. "Do you decline, or do you accept?" I frustratingly shook my head. "Is that the reason why you came here?" I furrowed my eyebrow in concern."Is there a problem with that?" He tilted his hand and a sigh escaped his lips."Do you think you could persuade me to close this deal?" I tapped my foot on the floor impatiently and a scoff escaped my lips.He shrugged. "Maybe?" "For a

    Almyra's POV,"Don't you ever get tired?" My face contorted in anger and disgust.Xavier walked in hurriedly and grabbed Cole by the cloth before pushing him backward in anger."What the fuck is going on here?" His voice echoed in the room. "Rachel told me about it.""Told you what?" I questioned in surprise."That you had a look of unease on your face, and a man was here with you," his voice was laced with anger, but there was a hint of care in it."We were just talking about business," Cole already gained his stance and he adjusted his suit. "Isn't it." "Yeah, a deal that I said no to," I scoffed. "But you tried persuading me into signing it, isn't it?" I marched towards him and gave him the hundred dollar note that fell out of his pocket. "You might be needing this." "Thank you for that," he smiled mischievously. "Thanks for your time, Ms Stones." He looked at Xavier and his lips curled into a sly grin. "I'm not angry for what you did."Xavier walked up to him with a clenched f

    Almyra's POV,My mouth was still opened when my phone chimed again but I rushed downstairs.My brothers were already there, I guess they saw it already. "Who the fuck did this?" Malum's gaze was strongly fixed on mine. "This is bullshit."I looked at the article with the head captioned as "CEO OF QUANTUM SPHERES IN LOVE CIRCLE OF XAVIER AND COLE.”The photos of Xavier and I in the restaurant was uploaded and the photo of Cole from when he placed his hand close to me in the office was also uploaded."Cole came close t-t-t to me this time," I stuttered in shock. "He tried closing a deal with me and I refused.""What do you think you can do about it?" Keith placed his hand on his waist and a sigh escaped his lips."You need to clear yourself of this," Keiran's baritone voice made my gaze shift towards him."From the–"I paused after my phone rang, it was Xavier and I showed it to my brothers

    Almyra's POV,The reporters stood at the front of the building with their cameras and microphone.I clenched my fist in frustration.It's funny how fake news spreads overnight that these bastards have to show up at the entrance in Quantum Spheres headquarters."What do you have to say about the article that was posted about you?" A woman who seemed to be in her mid-thirties came towards me with the camera in her hand.Two of the security men rushed towards me and took her away from where I was standing.As they were guiding me to the entrance she came back again and asked the same question.I stopped and locked my eyes on her eyes. "Like I said," I paused and a sigh escaped my lips. "Wait for the fucking date." I snapped at her rudely and she dropped the camera down.Another one came towards me but I intercepted his speech. "Don't ask me a single question.""It won't be nice if I see the person that did that," I added.They all tried to get me to speak, but the security cleared the w

    Almyra's POV,His eyes were locked onto mine in suspicion and concern. "I know who did it."I walked towards him hurriedly and grasped his hand. "Who?" I asked in anger."I don't think you should know," his voice was calming. "The person does not work here so there's no need to know about the bastard.""I have every right to know who did this Xavi," I insisted and gritted my teeth in annoyance. "Every fucking reason!" I could not contain my anger, so I threw the pen against the wall; I needed something to take out my anger on. Something!"And you should know that anything I wanna know, I end up knowing it, so just tell me yourself,' anger radiated around me.Xavier rushed towards me and held my hand. "It's Thursday Almyra, Thursday." He locked his eyes onto mine. "You get to clear their minds off it," he added."What if I pick you?" I asked with a concerned gaze. "And what if I don't?" "If you don't, then I'll take it as you found the better version of me," he let out a sigh. "I wo

    Almyra's POV,I walked into the building with a smile on my face, I was tensed about what would happen after the decision I would be making."Good morning ma," Rachel's calm voice made my gaze avert towards her. "Hey, good morning," she walked towards me with some papers in her hand."What's that for?" I furrowed my eyebrow in concern and pointed towards the paper.For a split second, she looked at me and chuckle lightly. "This is what you would be using in talking about the update."I stopped and she also paused and looked at me. "Why did you think I would be needing that?""It was not my idea actually," she shrugged."Then whose idea was it?" I asked in a low, but firm tone."It was mine," Xavier walked towards me and smiled. "Thank you Ms Rachel," Xavier looked at her in the eye and she nodded before walking away."Why did you give me this?" My voice was slow and measured. "I think you would need it," he placed his hand into his pocket."I don't think I would be needing it," I he

    Almyra's POV,I fell to the floor from the shock, I groaned lightly before looking around to see who it was.My eyes opened in surprise immediately I saw who it was, it was Rachel.“No, n-n-no!” I yelled in pain. “Do not die on me Rachel,” I reached for her and placed her head on my knees.She kept groaning weakly like her life was leaving her, of course it was!Aurora crawled towards her and held her by the palm. “Just hold on for a minute I would call the medical team,’ she ran out of the room.“I…I told my…myself that I would respect any decision y...you made,” her breath was shaking and she clung to my suit like it was some sort of lifeline.Her knuckles were already white.“Come on Xavier, what the fuck are you doing?!” I yelled in frustration and slammed my fist on the table close to where I knelt down.“I think it's only one bullet that is in that gun,” I transferred my gaze towards Xavier, if it was more than one he would continuing shooting but no, he stopped already.“Take c

    Almyra's POV,“You are not speaking Aurora,” my eyes was already filled with tears. “How's Rachel doing?” Aurora was still silent over the phone.“Aurora!” I yelled in fury but my voice was coated in emotion and care. “Speak to me.”“Rachel's dead,” Aurora's voice suddenly disappeared and she burst into tears. “Rachel did not make it.” My phone slumped from my hand and fell to the floor, it felt like the world was still, time was not moving and everything around me was also static.I fell to the floor and a silent gasp escaped my lips. “Rachel,” my voice was barely above a whisper and I grasped the edge of my cloth.Xavier rushed over to me and pulled me close to him. “What's it?” His face was etched with worry.“Rachel’s dead,” I did not take my gaze away from the floor. Tears had started to stream down my cheeks.Everything about Rachel and I had now become a distant memory in the space of minutes.“She's dead Xavi,” I turned towards him and saw the pain in his eyes also. “We won'

    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

"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. "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
