ILayda's POV:
My eyes wined at what he said, to be fair I was shocked.
I felt a sudden drop in temperature seriously this thing has to get fixed. Oh, it is just his hand grabbing mine.
But wait, did he seriously called me cute? No, my head is playing tricks on me. Then I looked at him he was looking a little pissed. Did I do something?
I looked up and his eyes were so fixed on me, so I dropped my eyes to the floor because I got so embarrassed.
"Jack, you got everything you need man? Because Ilayda has to go, " Christian was addressing jack but holding eye contact with me the whole time.
"Yes man, I'm good". Jack looked a little unconformable, but he ends up leaving which I hated because now I was alone with Christian and God knows I hate when things like this happen. Therefore, I tried to leave but the silly me forgot that he was still holding me by the arm, and instead of being away from him, I was pushed back toward him and our faces were only a few inches away.
I tried once again to free myself from his hold but he was holding my arms so tight yet still, he did not hurt me.
"Where do you think you're going?" his question was so unexpected that I did not know what to answer.
"I...I need to eeh...clean the kitchen" words refused to come out of my mouth.
"Well I think the kitchen can wait a little bit, don't you think? Besides you're there the whole time I don't even get to see you" okay, wow how did we end up like this? Gosh, he is not even taking small steps, this guy is running.
I honestly thought of every possible answer but I could not think of anything to say.
"Why are you so red? Are you blushing?"
What?
Seriously?
Does he expect me to say yes or something?
I was starting to get angry but I was still embarrassed by our proximity. I looked at him and he was SMIRKING?
Oh, what I would give to keep that smile from his stupid face.
"Alright I won't embarrass you any further " oh what a gentleman I thought to myself " you can go to the kitchen or even take the rest of the night off just don't come out while my friends are still here they don't need to see you"
What? I was so shocked but mostly so hurt from his words, it is true I am just the maid but was he ashamed of me that bad.
Suddenly he released my arm, and without saying a word I went to my room deciding that I would clean tomorrow because my heart was so hurt that I couldn't do anything at that moment.
And to think that he, maybe likes me.
Why would he?
I'm just a poor, ugly ignorant maid it's what he sees when he looks at me, and to think that maybe after all the misery I've been through, I was maybe going to smile at last.
Thank God, Nona is coming tomorrow and I will not be alone with him anymore
Christian's POV:
I watched her leave without saying a word sadness was very visible in her eyes it hurt me but I had to make her leave I couldn't stand seeing jack next to her trying to hit on her every second, it made me so pissed.
I went back to the living room where apparently, everyone was having fun even jack accept me, I just stood there thinking of her. It usually takes me more than a couple of days to like someone but she is just different.
From the second that I kissed her when I was drunk, I could not get her out of my mind. I knew she was going to be uncomfortable so I didn't mention the kiss and I tried to stay away from her and damn it so hard but I just couldn't control myself any longer, when I saw the way jack was looking at her and touching I wanted to be the only one who can ever do that.
What I have for this girl is developing so fast that I don't know what to do, there is something about her that drew me to her and I still don't know why but I know one thing for sure
I would give anything to be able to taste her lips once again and to hold her and have her hand caressing me again like that night.
Fuck, she's going to make me crazy but I desire her presence, her touch, the look at her beautiful face, so much, I desire her to be next to me that I can barely hold myself when I'm with her.
Ilayda's POV :Today was a new day I tried to forget what happened yesterday and move on with my life because I don't need any extra drama in my life, that if I can call it a life. Since that awful night, I couldn't carry on with my life like nothing happened because everything I had was taken away from me and I couldn't do anything; the day my parents were taken away from me.At this moment in my life, I stand with nothing; no family, no friends, except Nona who is the closest thing to family and friends I have, I have no home, no love, I just work and breathe, sometimes death seems to hold much more mercy than this life that I'm leading. What can I possibly do with my existence; the answer remained unknown to me.I went to the kitchen to start working
Ilayda's POV:I was shockedI swear I did not see that one coming.He kissed me.He freaking kissed me. I do not know what to do right now.I pushed him hard because he was holding me so tightly."Stop, what are you doing? No!" the words coming out of my mouth expressed my refusal yet my body and my heart were totally on a different level, they were not refusing it actually they were welcoming the warmth I felt when I was with him, the safety and peace that washed over me when he grabbed me. However, I was not going to admit not even if they pull a gun on my head, because I know that this is wrong. F
Christians POV:I didn't know what to think, I was so shocked when I saw her standing at my door. She said she wanted to give me an answer I was so scared, I was sweating like hell, just hoping that she wouldn't refuse and she would actually give me a chance. I did not know what I would feel nor do if she says no.She looks nervous too, she was playing with her fingers I could sell that it wasn't easy for her either to tell me her decision,"I... came here to give you an answer you should know, that it's a little hard for me because I usually don't trust people that much I don't know if I trust you either but I think...I think that I'm willing to try." She said the last part with her eyes closed, god she is so cute, and then it hit me, what she said.I was shocked. Happy, but I am still shocked. I somehow thought that she would say no I was so scared. However, she said yes, I didn't know what to say so I let
Ilayda's POV:Mr. and Mrs. Elfonso came back home a couple of days ago. Mr. Elfonso went to the company as soon as he arrived and Mrs. Elfonso had a gathering with her friends at home, where she started to tell them about all the places she went to and all the expensive things she got. You know how can be a typical rich middle-aged woman.At the end of the day, I found myself in my room, this day went by pretty normal and I was a little tired so after taking my shower I went straight to my bed to get some sleep.I woke up terrified, the same as every other night, because of my nightmare but as I was trying to get out of my bed, something was pushing me and keeping me from getting up. I turned the lamp on my nightstand and I saw Christian, lying by my si
Ilayda's POV :It's been a week since Mrs. Elfonso spoke to me about the thing between Christian and me, and since that time I've been trying to stay away from him as much as possible, of course, I didn't tell him what his mother said I couldn't, and I couldn't tell him that I seriously considered breaking up with him, but I tried to not let my fears conquer me, I wanted to give myself a chance, to do something for me for the first time, but I still didn't want to lose my job so was increasing the distance between us and of course it didn't go unnoticed by him and I remembered that day when he got angry at me. he came sneaking to my room in the middle of the night while I was just getting ready to go to sleep." Christian what the hell are you doing here, what if someone saw you are you crazy""I couldn't help it sorry but I just missed you so fucking much I was really going
Ilayda's POV :what the hell?WHAT. THE. HELL. DID. SHE. JUST. DO?"Excuse me, what are you doing to my brother"Maribelle seemed very upset while the two other women seemed totally happy. Christian pushed Nathalie away from him."Sorry, I just missed the touch of your lips" she was caressing his lower lip with her thumb."Nathalie, please don't ever do that again" he took a step back and I was silently thanking God."But why? We used to kiss all the time""Well, used to, but now I-" Christian was interrupted by his mother."Nathalie, why don't you go to your room and take some rest, lunch will be served soon" Nathalie let go of Christian."You" I looked at Mrs. Elfonso and she was addressing me."What are you standing there doing? Go get their thing up to their rooms and them come to get lunch ready" I nod and went upstairs, Christian was giving me an apologetic look.
Ilayda's POV:Yesterday I fell asleep in Christian's arms, it felt like home I was at peace again. He was still asleep when I woke up and kept studying every little detail of his face, his forehead, his eyebrows, his long lashes, his soft shiny lips. God, he is so... beautiful.Sometimes I look at him and wonder what does he see in me I was a disaster while he's at the top, but I do know one thing; I'm falling deeper and deeper for him every single second. I just felt the urge to kiss him so I gave him a small peek in the chin trying not to wake him but he apparently started to wake up, I quickly went back to my place."You know baby this body is all yours feel free to stare as much as you want," he whispered in my ears with his husky voice which sent chills in my body."You were awake" it wasn't a question but he nods staring intensely into my eyes, I got a little embarrassed and I could feel my cheeks turning red s
Christian's POV :Every single time, this seems suspicious to me, the way she gets nervous each time Madame Dubois asks her a question, I can tell when she is lying, and she's lying each time she's been asked and I'm determined to know what she is hiding. I have the right to. I tried to be patient, and wait for her to tell me on her own. However, she never came to me; she never opened up to me. What I am about to do is bad but it is for her own sake. I LOVE this girl, and something tells me that she could be in trouble and I know her stubborn ass will never ask for help, so if I want to help her I'm going to help her in my own way, but I need to find out what is she hiding first.I went to the company, I also needed to leave the house ASAP that Nathalie girl won't let me breathe, she's like that gum stoc
Ilayda's POV:It was six in the afternoon, house fully decorated with only small touches left here, and their music had already begun play and the first guests started arriving.I was done and thanks to Antoine it looked amazing"There you go simple, classy, and chic"He had called it, and I couldn't help but find him right the hair didn't only suit my looks but also suited me.Makeup was simple too but it looked flawless I couldn't be grateful enough to these people.With few touchups, I only had to get inside the dress and get out of this room.As time went by I was getting more and more nervous Nona along with Belle had tried to calm me down but they couldn't do much for me.I started thinking about my parents, I wish they were here with me. My mom, I can imagine her being in tears for I was leaving her, yet at the same time happy because I found someone who cared about me deeply enough. My dad would
Ilayda'sPOV"And action""Wait Belle what am I suppose to say" Maribelle was shoving the camera in front of my face."Just be you and say what you're feeling and what comes out to your mind""Hmm, hello " I stood awkwardly looking at the camera."That's it I give up" she pointed the camera towards her again. "I'm going to be asking questions and you answer"I nod."So Ilayda what does it feel like to be about to marry the one and only Christan Elfonso?"The camera was again pointed at me."Well, I'm not sure how to answer when you put it like that. But I'm very excited but a little scared at the same time""Oh, our bride is shy, what we're thinking about that you got all red like that?""I... I ... Maribelle"A sudden laugh made us all turn our faces towards the door" Come on now Maribelle
Third person's POV :They arrived home and when the door opened, she found her new family waiting for her" welcome back love, we missed you," said Nona" I missed all of you too"" it's good to have you here again"" thank you Mr. Elfonso "" oh no, from now on calling me father or pops " she smiled back, this time she knew that this was it, she did find her happiness" oh, I'm so excited, I have a sister now" Belle jumped to hug her new sister" aaw" Ilayda felt a slight pain" ooh, sorry sorry ""it's okay "" Alright now everyone, Ilayda needs rest "" wait " she started looking around " where is your mother? "He took a deep breath and sat down in front of her" when you were still in the hospital, I started thinking about everything that happened this past few months, then I started thinking about my
Third person's POV :"Did you hear this? the girl is still inside, search the place, look in every single room, I don't care if you have to kill everyone in this hospital, but GET ME THE GIRL " said the woman, she was very angry but above all, she was really determined, she made it a life goal to kill that girl."You, did you get anything on the cameras inside the hospital? ""No, I couldn't get anything because they were off, there is no recording of today ""What the... ? Someone is playing us," she thought deeply"Go look for her but stay awake, there is something weird happening in this hospital "All the men went to look for what their boss asked them to, but there was no sign of the girl which only drove their boss angrier. Suddenly, she had an idea"Did you check the rooftop? ""No, why would someone sick be on the rooftop ""Fucking bloody idiots, follow me " s
Ilayda's POV:I tried to open my eyes, but the light was blinding me.where am I? I tried to keep remembering but I couldn't, what happened? I closed my eyes again and all I saw was blood, I reopened my eyes but this time slowly." hey " I heard a voice speaking" she's opening her eyes " are they talking about me?I closed my eyes again, then it all hit me; the kidnapping, the blood, the injuries, the pain the cell I was in... everything, and I started screaming, I'm scared, am I still there but dreaming about the freedom I was panicking until I felt a warm hand touching my forehead." Hey, calm down, everything is fine, you're safe now, you're alright, just calm down and take a deep breath"And I did.And for the first time in a while, I was feeling well. Opening my eyes I saw Chris holding me, Maribelle looking at me and Mr. Elfonso sitting next to me on one side and Nona holding my han
Christan's POV :At the ERwe've been waiting for a couple of hours now and no one is telling us anything, when I got out of that house I drove as fast as I can to take Ilayda to a hospital, she was literally dying in my arms and there was nothing that I can do. We are all here waiting for her to get better, my dad Maribel, Nona, and me.*bing*The door just opened, and the doctor came out" Doctor what is going on, please tell me, is she going to be alright? "" Sir the patient is in a critical state, we are trying everything we can but when you brought her here she had already lost so much blood and her body was entering a shock, we are trying to do our best, as I said the patient lost a lot of blood so if you want to help her you need to find someone to give her blood "" Alright I'll get it right away, just make sure she'll be alright"Two hours later
Third person's POV :" Why are we still holding her, didn't he agree to give us the money, I don't get it, we should let her go now. "" It's not about money anymore, the minute I knew about this girl my whole purpose changed " she was smiling." what do you mean? "" that girl is not coming out of here alive, I must honor my husband and let his soul rest in peace and the only way to do that is by killing her then he can rest forever""so, sh-" she's the daughter of the man who killed my husband, after his death I swore to myself and him that I will exterminate his entire family"Christan's POV :" I heard you agreed to give that woman the money she was asking for, so finally this whole chaos will end " Her voice irritates me every single time I hear her speaking, I still couldn't bring myself to forgive her for what she did, and
Ilayda's POV :I tried to open my eyes but it was in vain, they were covered. I tried to get up but I couldn't I was stuck in what seems like a chair, my hands were tied, fear started to take over me, I couldn't remember anything that happened after I opened the door house, I don't know where am I, I don't know who took me and I could only hope that it's not her.I started to freak out, but I knew that I had to keep myself calm in order to get out of here alive.Or maybe I'll die here.NO, I won't I'm going to fight Ihave a reason to live now.I heard a door being opened." Well, well look who do we have here today "I heard that sinister voice again.....Christan's POV :I'm about to go mad, I'm about to lose my mind, this can't happen.

Christan's POV :" We were driving around the city, and Miss Elfonso didn't leave the car as you ordered after an hour we noticed that there's a car following us" he stopped a bit to adjust his seat," we suspect that it followed us from the moment we left the house, so we decided to go back and on our way back we were hit by a truck, none of us was hurt but we weren't able to start the car and soon two large black cars pulled in front of us and ten armed men came toward us, and they started shooting we were just three so we couldn't stop them and we were shot too and I guess that when we lost conscious they took Miss Maribelle away"" who could be behind this ?
