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. 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 “We need to talk”. Xavier sighed before asking so calmly, “What is it now? If it’s money…” “I want a divorce, Xavier.” I could almost hear a pin drop, but in a flash, his cutlery hit the plate; just like I expected, he was about to continue eating like he didn’t hear me, so I repeated, “I want a divorce.” His eyes tried holding mine, but I looked away; I didn’t trust myself, especially with him. “Why?” “Lately, I have been faithful in sending your daily upkeep.” There he goes again; of all things to ask, it had to be money he pinpointed. Without waiting for his permission, I opened the envelope containing the divorce papers and signed it before pushing it over him. “I want nothing from you, not your money or properties, Xavier,” I reassured, promising myself that the tears threatening to fall didn’t. He glanced at the paper before scoffing, “You are serious?” “Yes, you can hasten this up and sign. Before you return from work, I will leave your house
Almyra's POVMy eyes widened in horror as I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. I thought she was sick and had to be flown out?How could he do this to me? This was the last straw, and there was no way in hell I would change my mind. I held back my tears, but the realization that I was letting go caused tears to flow freely from my eyes. While I waited and prayed for our union, he lay with Kitara…I felt so much like a fool for staying and entertaining his wade of cash.My sniffs soon turned into sobs, and I don’t know how long I cried, but when I finally got a hold of my emotions, Ben was long gone, and thankfully, he had given me enough time to cry in solace.Xavier wasn’t back yet, so I walked my walk of shame into the house with the gifts Malum had given the rest of the waitresses to gift me; upon entering the room, I stacked them away before entering the shower.In there, another set of tears threatened, but I was done crying for a man who didn’t value me enough. It was funny how
Xavier's POVI didn't love Almyra and couldn't care less if she was leaving, but there was no way I was going to sign a divorce if I didn't know what she was saying and who those people were."So that bitch got herself a man and was just feeding on Xavier all this while?" I heard my mom whisper out loud as I barged into the house. Thankfully, they weren’t there when I made a mockery of myself by chasing after her."What happened?" she asked, seeing my already dirty clothes, but I ignored her and entered the room, making sure to bang the door shut.Shit!I looked around the room, and all I could see was everything I had bought for her in the last two years. Now that I think about it, it makes me wonder where Mom and Kitara got the idea that she was after me for money, and that had been her agenda all along. The credit alert still haunted me.She had sold her body or something else because I couldn’t explain how someone who, according to her data, was an orphan entered expensive cars an
Almyra's POV"Are you okay?" Malum asked and I squeezed his hand in response.Xavier looked so rough and knowing I was the reason filled me with satisfaction and to top that the shocked expression on Xavier's face had a proud smile spreading across my lips as I halted to take a quick look at him. My entry into the even was sure not expected, especially with the people that buzzed around me — Malum, whose hand was holding mine quite intimately as planned. My eyes caressed him, from his blue eyes that glared at both Malum and the triplets with hate to his lips and that face I once adored. My eyes meet with Kitara that looked like she sole wanted to be where I was...She was going to be shocked by what i had in store for the Farrells.Kaleb, Keith and Keiran, had also towered around me, almost in a protective circle where they could ensure my safety from any scoundrel that tries to come my way."Be nice boys" I whispered underneath my voice.It was just so satisfying, seeing how obvious
Almyra's POV"Almyra! How dare you?"Even though I've decided not to let my mood be ruined by her, I also wouldn't stand back and get insulted by this slut that had ruined my dream while resting comfortably at the sidelines.She glared at me real hard, her eyes bulging out wide while veins on her neck popped out but I didn't care. "How dare I what Kitara? call you a slut or slap the shit out of your mouth?" I asked her while yawning boredly."How dare you hit me !?" She growled after stuttering, her grudge evident in her tone. "Wrong answer!, how dare you say that bullshit about me to my face with no fear whatsoever?""I dont know if perharps your dilusional mind told you tht you were still talking to the Mrs. Farrell who once upon a time let you run over her but let this be the fucking last tim you would spill nonsense about me" I snapped back. "The next time you try it, You won't forget the consequences...""Standing before you is Me, Almyra and in an event like this you wouldn't
Xavier's POVAlmyra was here!I could almost smell and feel her, but she wasn't with me!Kitara desperately tried to cling to my arm as we walked out of the bathroom, but I was too focused on the man Almyra had locked her hands with. The only problem was that he wasn't me, and I so desperately longed to tear him away from her.My mom kept throwing snide remarks as we sat down, and she mentioned a name that stuck: The Stone Triplets. I couldn't help but wonder how she knew those boys who frequented the news daily.I watched as she laughed at what her escort said before rubbing her hand over his arm.My blood boiled as I fumed at the sight of them that way—not just my blood boiling but also my heart growing heavy with annoyance. She belonged beside me. "Your ex-wife seems to have hit the jackpot because her necklace was at the last auction I attended and sold for five million dollars," Mom said, eyeing her with nothing but malice.I wondered who this Almyra was. From where did her sudd

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
ALMYRA'S POV."What?!""He is still coma ma'am," a nurse said as she held her hand together. "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.The shock on my face could not be compared to that on Hilda's face.Where did he come from?Where was he hiding?Was he waiting to see what Hilda's final action would be?Different types of questions kept on flooding in my head as I looked at his almost lifeless body.I scanned his body for the bullet and my eyes met where the bullet went into, it was his left shoulder.Luck was truly on his side as it did not go into his heart, thank goodness. Hilda's mouth was still opened in shock as the cops came in and surro
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
