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,Cole's stare was a deadly one and he kept coming close to me without second thoughts, he did not even hesitate for a second and I just kept shifting back with the support of my hand and my behind."Aren't you satisfied with what you did to Rachel?" I finally stopped and took a deep look into his eyes."It was not her that was supposed to die," he cocked the gun. "It's you," he licked it and returned his gaze to me."Wh- what do you want from me?" I stuttered under my breath and clung unto my cloth."About two hours ago, I could say I was desperate for your love," he finally stopped. "I wanted you to love me like I did to you." I rose up to my feet and gathered momentum. "There are billions of women out there so why me? Why!" I yelled at the top of my voice."It's not that your yelling could save you anyway," he shrugged and kept coming close to me.My knees started to shiver and I took some steps backward. "Stop it Cole." I fell to my knees once more and Cole pointed th
Almyra's POV,I looked at him, puzzled. “What do you mean by that?” I finally broke the silence, and transferred my gaze towards the floor.“Everything Almyra, everything,” he muttered under his breath and tapped his foot on the floor constantly.The look on my face twisted into a strained expression. “What is that suppose to mean?”He smiled wryly before taking his hands out of his pocket. “The people around you Al.”He was still beating around the bush and I was getting more and more frustrated every second that went by.“Go to the fucking point,” I scoffed and exhaled sharply. Of course, it was in annoyance. “I don't have the time to think right now.”“When I mean everyone, I mean your workers,” he paused for a moment before pressing his lips together. “Your ex-husband mom also.”I tilted my head towards the window and I single tear dribbled down my nose but I quickly wiped it off before it dropped.“I know about Hilda Farell,” my eyes were still fixed on the window and I watched a
