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 because it's the only thing that I have to know in life, this works and I can't let it go.
Mr. and Mrs. Elfonso are still not back from their voyage and they will not be back not in two weeks and I have to deal with the problem called Christian on my own.
Thank goodness that Nona was back from seeing her family and now she is with me.
It's not that I'm afraid of Christian it's just that he makes me feel things I've never experienced before and I know that a person like him would never exchange my feelings and in the end, it's me who will be heartbroken not him and that's what scares me the most.
I gave myself up to work and I made sure that I don't come across Christian; whenever I hear him coming to a room I run to another one, I make meals before he comes and only clean after he lefts and that's how I've been avoiding him for the past couple of days and it's way better.
Today was the same too just working and avoiding him and surprisingly the day went super quick, so after I was done with everything I decided to call it a night and head to my room get a shower then go to still.
I was just done with my shower. It was so relaxing so I spent more time there. As I was about to open my bathroom door I noticed that the light in the bedroom was on, but I remembered putting them off, I always do because I like showering with minimal lights. Anyway, I opened the door and I said that I was shocked at was I saw would be an understatement.
Christian was sitting-no laying on my bed looking at me with a smirk on his stupid face.
"W...what the hell are you doing in my room" right now I was beyond angry.
He kept looking at me with that stupid smile on his face I didn't know why he was smiling that way.
Then it hit me
My towel was so short if I bend over just a little bit, you can see everything my other towel was in the washing machine, and honestly, I never thought that someone might come here.
"Why are you so red baby" Christian stood up and started taking slow steps toward me.
"I'm ...I'm not ...get out " I was so nervous I hated being in a situation like this
"What is it? Cat got your tongue angel?" he was still coming toward me while I was taking steps back until I hit the wall.
Damn it!
"You see babe I was very upset this couple of days and do you know why" he was talking very low and he was so close to me I had chills running down my body.
I wanted to move away but he put his hands on both sides keeping me from leaving.
I moved my head to say NO because I could not form a word.
"Well I will gladly explain to you" he came even closer as possible closing any gap between my chest and us was glued to his as my heart was beating so fast I am sure I felt it.
"You see it all started two days ago when I woke up, I went downstairs to see someone but I couldn't find him. Then I went looking for that certain someone all over the house but I could not find him yet I knew that that person, was inside the house because I could smell their sweet perfume all over the house. Therefore, I waited until lunchtime and somehow I miss that person again and then again, at dinnertime.
"the next day the same thing happened but you see I really wanted to see that person so badly and I miss them so damn much that I couldn't keep myself from entering this room so, here I am" He stopped talking and then kept looking at me.
Wow, that was not expected I have zero ideas on what to say.
"I...I can see ...hmm...but the thing is Nona is not here I think you will find her in the kitchen and don't worry this time you will find her."
"Funny ...very funny... But quit playing" Damn it did not work.
I was trying to get myself out of this situation smoothly but I guess that did not happen. I looked at his face and he was not smiling anymore, he looked serious and then suddenly,
He kissed me
Passion, desire, love so many emotions emerged in just one kiss.
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
Christian's POV :I did not know what to expect and this guy was taking his sweet time opening the file, he looked at me."I've never seen something like this before" he was very serious"What do you mean? What is it?" I couldn't hold it any longer I was boiling from the inside."Sir, the name you gave me, Ilayda Salvador, I was only able to find it in the orphanage records. Also, everything that has happened lately. Nothing out of the ordinary, she was given to a family but they returned her do to some trouble the guy who's supposed to be her new father wasn't good with her. When she became eighteen years old, she got out and got into the work of being a maid that is how she was hired in your house. T
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. This can't be happening."Chris, I'm sorry this all happened because of me" Belle came to
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 ?
