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.
Almyra's POV,I stood in the hospital and my eyes were sternly fixed on Kitara.“What the fuck is she doing here?” I switched my gaze to Xavier who shrugged.“She said she wanna send her condolence,” he had a sly grin on his face. “Well, I told her to send it to the family outside the room and not me.”Kitara had a disappointed look on her face but she tried to muster up boldness. “So what do you think you are gonna? Chase me out of here? Call the cops on me?” She hissed flatly.“No, I won't do any of that trust me,” I took a step forward and my eyes met with Rachel's lifeless body.I felt a chill run down my spine and I was about to fall from the shock when Malum held me. “It's fine Al, it's fine,” he whispered behind me and held me.“Excuse us please,” Xavier turned to Kitara and motioned his hands towards the exit door. “You've been here for minutes so I think that's fine.” “What do you think you are doing Xavier?” Kiatar questioned with a shocked expression on her face. “Did you
Almyra's POV, I paced around the sitting room, Keith and Kaleb kept looking at me with a weird gaze that had started to get me frustrated. “What's wrong?” Keith walked past me and stopped at the front of the coffee maker. “I'm pacing around,” I opened my hands wide along with my eyes. “Yeah, and people don't do that,” he shrugged. “Unless something is wrong, and I guess something's truly wrong.” “He told me to call Xavier have you forgotten?” I turned to him and he smiled. “So call him then,” he looked at Malum and Kaleb who nodded their heads like puppets. “You should do that right away,” I had almost forgotten that Kaleb was here given the fact that he was silent for long. I nodded. “Okay then I would do that.” I walked towards my room and grabbed my phone but I paused before I dialed Xavier's number. “Damn!” I yelled and threw the phone on the bed but I got it right away. “What do that guy want to do?” I placed my hand under my jaw thoughtfully as I looked at the con
