View MoreXANDER’S P.O.V“Sir, the entire city is on lockdown as you requested. She can’t escape now” Antonio reported. “Don’t be so sure Antonio…This is Eva that we are talking about. If she wants to escape she would find a way” I warned him. “You are right sir, but we have 200 police officers in the city looking for her. She would definitely be found and your baby would be safe” he said. “I really hope so Antonio. We don’t have much time, my baby is in a lot of danger. She was delivered at only 6 months and had to be in an incubator! She wasn’t even supposed to even be in contact with anyone or anything because her immune system is still so weak! But now she is out there, in the big world which is filled with sicknesses, viruses, and germs…my little princess is in so much danger! She is so helpless! And so vulnerable!” I buried my head in my hands, exhaustion, and stress taking over me. I didn
XANDER’S P.O.V“I’ll make a donation of 1 million dollars which must be split equally amongst the doctors and nurses who were in surgery yesterday,” I said to the head of the hospital. “Mr. La’Vardo, that is very generous of you, but the doctors and nurses were merely only doing their job.” He said with gratitude. “They have both my wife and baby…my wife flat-lined and they brought her back for me, my child was turning blue yet they made sure that she would not take her last breathe…1 million dollars is not even sufficient for what they have done for me! They did not only save my wife and child yesterday but by saving them they saved me as well! In fact, I think I am going to change that donation into 3 million dollars, 1 million for each life that they saved” I said. “You are very kind Mr.La’Vardo but as I mentioned earlier, a donation is not necessary” the old head of the hospital said. &l
XANDER’S P.O.VThe past five months have been wonderful, it felt as if we have not returned from honeymoon. Each day that passed we fell more and more in love and as the love between us grew, so did Cara’s belly with our baby safe inside of it…Oh, and she glowed, becoming the most beautiful pregnant woman that I have ever seen.Our lives have been peaceful ever since Eva and Susanna fled to Asia and we were living in harmony. Every morning we had breakfast together and every afternoon we would either have dinner in our garden or the balcony. Our lives were filled with romance and undying love. I know of many love stories like the one which my parents shared or Emma’s incomplete and tragic love story but the one shared between Cara and I, is my favorite.I laid in bed, the sound of rain, played a lullaby. I turned over to my beautiful Cara who was sound asleep next to me. The moonlight reflected on her face. Suddenly there was a roar of t
CARA’S P.O.V“It has been a week since you put us on lockdown Xander! You have more than a 100 men then guarding the two of us in this house, not to mention you following me anywhere that I go, even if it’s the bathroom with your 2 loaded guns in your pockets. The police force has searched the entire city, Eva and her mother were nowhere to be sported. I’m sure that they are smart enough not to come here. Don’t you think that we can ease up a little? ” I tried to talk Xander in giving me some space to breathe because honestly, all this security is beginning to make me feel like I’m about to suffocate.“No Cara…take that thought out of your head because as soon as we let our guard down is when she will attack. I know her well enough to know the way she works and she plays these games with you. She would make you think that everything is okay and then when you least expect it, she makes the strike, knocking you down!
EVA’S P.O.V“You have a visitor,” the nurse said and took me out of my glass cell, she escorted me to the meeting room without removing the extremely uncomfortable straight jacket that I was in. Did I really belong here? If I spent any more time in here then I would definitely lose my mind. “YOU?” the blood drained from my face when I saw who the person was. “You messed up Eva!” she said, the deadly calmness in the voice, bought back the fear which I usually had in her presence. “But what are you doing here? You shouldn’t be in public. What if someone recognizes you!” I said, still shocked to see her. “I had to come out of hiding, who else would save you from this mess that you have created? You managed to get your sister behind bars, serving life imprisonment and yourself stuck in a mental asylum!!! You are so useless Eva, you had one simple task to do!!! Just 1 task but you managed to fail 10 times! Onl
CARA’S P.O.V“Xander, you are the one who said that we should not keep secrets from one another. So can you please stop contradicting yourself and tell me what is going on? I can see the tension that you are feeling. It’s not only clear in your eyes but also in your body language” I begged him for an answer like I have been doing for the past half an hour. Everything was happening so fast, all I know is that we were at the beach sipping on juices and Martini’s, well I had a juice because the little one growing inside of me would not like a Martini very much, but Xander had a Martini…however now we are on our private jet, heading back home, our honeymoon cut short and I needed to know why!!! “Don’t worry about it Cara, it’s nothing really.” He tried to assure me but I was not ready to give up as yet. “Xander our honeymoon was cut short! You rushed me to pack my belongings in the middle of the night! You drove a
XANDER’S P.O.VFrom star gazing to watching the sunrise, white sands and blue water, little islands and lagoons…spending these past 3 days on honeymoon at Phuket with Cara has been nothing less than amazing and we have 4 more days together in this heavenly paradise, just the two of us, away from everything and everyone.“Beautiful isn’t it?” Cara broke the silence between us as we relaxed on the beach, soaking up the sun. “Oh yes, you are!” I said, making her laugh. “Not me silly. I’m talking about the view in front of us” she said. “Not as beautiful as you” I flirted. “Hmm, Mr. Charming are you trying to flatter me?” she played along. “and what on Earth would make you think that? I speak nothing but the truth. In my eyes, no other beauty can compare to yours. The 7 wonders of the world are still trying to compete with you” I said, flirting and complimenting her. “Spe
(THREE WEEKS LATER) CARA’S P.O.V It felt as if there is a tornado in my tummy as I listened to the silence, suddenly a sweet melody filled my ears and I knew that it was my queue to go. The doors in front of me opened widely, I let out a heavy sigh of nervousness, and then I began to walk through the indoor garden. The pure, innocent, fresh, and soft white roses that decorated the aisles on either side of me, matched the pureness, innocence, and softness of my dress. From white to gold, it hugged onto my body on top, showing off my petite figure as it flowed freely from my hips going down, spreading like the foam from the ocean onto the floor as each dazzling layer danced around me with every step that I took. The music, the dim lights, the lanterns, the roses…all of it made my heart beat a little faster with excitement, happiness, and love. There were a thousand eyes on me, watching my every movement but all my nervousness which I felt not so long ago vanish
CARA’S P.O.V *Beep (pause) *beep (pause)*beep, I heard my lifeline as I was pulled back into consciousness. Blinking my eyes until I could see clearly, I saw Xander, with the biggest and broadest smile on his face, my right hand, held gentle but warmly in between both of his. “Hi,” he muttered the smile still on his face. “Hi,” I muttered back to him and groaned in discomfort due to being in the same position for so long. “You took quite a fall there; I counted my lucky stars that you fell straight into the water and we were there just in time to save you. However, you were hit on the head, so if you feel light-headed or experience a different insight, etc then please let me know” he explained. “Yes, Doc.” I teased him. “Speaking about a Doctor, I should probably call him,” he said, moving out of the seat which he was on, next to my bed. “No! Wait! I’m okay, you can get the doctor just now. Let’s talk…I missed you” I said, stopping him. “I missed you more…I thought tha
The dark starless sky roared with thunder as a flash of lightning allowed me to catch a glance of the face that I feared. I kicked and screamed, I struggled and fought as I was being dragged out of the La’Vardo mansion. I could feel my skin scraping against the ground as I felt powerless against my tormenter. I wasn’t worried about myself but I had to save the baby that I carried inside of me!I dug my nails into the hands that were dragging me, they finally let go of my hair giving my burning scalp some relief. Not wasting a chance of escape, I tried to run back into the mansion where I knew I would be saved but then came a heavy blow to my head and I fell to the ground. I could feel the blood oozing out but there was nothing that I could do to save us…I was pulled through the memories of the life I lived, like a speed train I had each memory being thrown at me…so much of love…so much of pain… so much of happiness…
