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
Xavier's POV,I approached the door in the room and walked out slowly, for a moment, I felt a pang of guilt run through my veins as I made my way to the bathroom."Good day sir," one of the staff bowed slightly.I halted in my steps and looked back at him. "Trust me today's definitely not a good day," I drew a long breath and gritted my teeth."I'm sorry sir," he walked away from where he was hurriedly.I nodded to myself and finally got into the bathroom to wash my bloody hands and my face. Cole's face kept replaying in my head and it felt like I should kill him before he even gets his sentence.The bastard need to have a taste of his own medicine."Damn it Xavi, damn!" I yelled and slammed my fist against the mirror in the bathroom causing it to crack.'If I had not gone in the first place would all these things happen?' I placed my hands on the sink in the bathroom and faced down with my eyes shut.'Or what if I never came back?' My thoughts drifted towards the scene that had just
Almyra's POV,"Why is she calling now of all time?!" Malum's voice was coated in disgust. I shrugged and heaved a sigh of relief. "I should ask the same question," I narrowed my gaze into slits.For a moment we looked at each other and it felt like the silence of the phone brought us back to life once more."Why did you not pick the call?" He diverted his gaze towards me once more.I placed my hands on my waist and looked towards the window. "I don't know why, it could not be more than a condolence call after all," I added."Hilda Farell ways are dirty Al, you know that?" He placed his hands under his jaw."Yeah, I know," I replied to him almost immediately and let out a sigh.If anything, there was no way I was involved in this and there is no way I could be dragged down with this act.The ways of Hilda Farell is dirty, yeah but not in this kind of situation, I let out a sigh and walked closer to the window.Everything in which she once told me started replaying in my head and I pla
Almyra's POV,Malum raised his sleeves up and looked at me with a teasing gaze. "That was weird, do you have any idea about what she was trying to say?" I pondered for a moment before speaking. "That was stupid from her I must say, like really stupid.""You might be the stupid one here," his eyes were not lying and his lips played with seriousness.I knitted my forehead in confusion and anger.Stupid?!Coming from Malum?! Damn!!!I stopped in my steps and crosed my hands across my chest thoughtfully.Yeah, he was right, I think I might be the stupid one here."Why did you say that actually?" I spoke in a low gravelly tone. "Like what did you think might be her reason of saying that?" I made myself clear.He hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the couch in the room. "Why not try to remember what she meant by that word?" "I don't know much about your ex-husband family you should know that," he shrugged. "I don't want to know also," he added with a scornful look on his face.
