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

    Almyra's POV,"Are you gonna go on without me?" Xavier's voice made me pause and I looked back."Should I carry you?" I spoke with a teasing gaze. "Or should we walk hand in hand?"He stroked his beardless chin. "Just forget it, you can go on," he motioned his hand towards the couch that was at the far right corner.I turned to leave but he held my hand swiftly. "Did you reconsider my offer?" my words were laced with pride. "No way!" He raised his voice in a way that only the both of us could hear before leaning on the wall. "That's not it," he added.I scoffed before walking close to him. "Then why did you drag me back?" "What do they call me for?" He heaved a sigh that I could not tell what type it was. "In case you don't know I'm in my early thirties.""I know that okay?" I smiled in held his hand. "Let's go."He nodded. "Yeah of course," he left my hand and placed his hands behind him. We got to the sitting room and my brothers and Malum were already there.The way the couch w

    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
