View MoreAmira's P.O.V.I was still awake by the time the sun came up. Earlier today, I couldn't sleep because of the incident between Morris and me. Although we are married, he should only do things with my consent.His domineering side scared me, and I was shaking, holding back tears. I heard a knock on the door, and I turned to face it, on guard in case it was Morris returning to finish what he started.Cynthia entered with her usual lovely smile, and I immediately relaxed. "Cynthia, it's you," I said with relief."Yes, ma'am. I live here now, remember?" she replied humorously. But I wasn't in the mood to play around. Morris's creepy attitude that morning still haunted me.I sat on the bed while Cynthia stood at the edge when something started vibrating seriously on the table. It was then I remembered that I had a phone. Cynthia went over to where the phone was and brought it to me.It was my mom calling. I was surprised but happy that she was finally reaching out to me. However, she asked
Morris's P.O.VAmira gave him a response that I didn't even hear because I was so engrossed in my thoughts. I soon snapped out of it and replied to him. He tried to make my mom see reasons why Amira should tell him where we met and how. Amira gave a response I didn't hear because I was thinking of how to handle him."Come on, Mom, let's eat and leave Amira alone. I knew Amira even before we got married," I said, trying to divert the attention from Amira. I was disgusted at how my brother could stoop so low.We resumed eating when my mom broke the silence by asking about the whereabouts of Micheal. We arrived here together, but he didn't come inside with us.Being the person he was, Simon replied to the question by saying, "Michael was busy running my dirty businesses for me."It took a lot of self-control not to lunge at him and beat him to a pulp. I slightly folded my hands to resist the urge."Mom, he is in the car. He came with us but refused to come inside," I said, completely ig
Amira's P.O.V.We started eating, and boy was she a good cook. The spaghetti tasted heavenly, and I was gobbling it down as if I was in a hurry.I was still seriously eating when Simon asked me a question that made both Morris and me stiffen. "How did you meet each other, sis?"I looked at Morris, but he was so fixated on his food. How was I going to answer this question now? How should I tell them that I met Morris for the first time on our wedding day?"How we met is complicated," I replied, looking at my food, avoiding any form of eye contact."How is it complicated? We are family; you can tell us anything, right, Mom?" Simon asked his mom. She nodded in affirmation."Come on, Mom, let's eat and leave Amira alone. I knew Amira even before she got to know me," Morris replied to his mom without lifting his face off his food.I heaved a sigh of relief; Morris just saved my ass and, at the same time, gave me a reason to be worried. Did he just say he knew me even before I got to know h
Morris's Point of View (POV):As I entered my office, Michael was already waiting for me. He had a lot to update me on."Boss, Alvera managed to get hold of a knife. She tried to kill herself, but she didn't succeed. We managed to intervene before it was too late. She's currently being treated by the doctor and will regain consciousness soon," Michael reported immediately.I smiled. This wasn't something new to me. I knew she would rather die than reveal the truth about her boss."Where did you find her?" "The New one" I asked."She's Alex's sister," he responded."Alex? The driver?" I asked to confirm.He nodded."My mom is in town and wants to see Amira. She might ask about you. I've already warned you not to call me 'boss,' but today, it's absolutely crucial that you do not call me that in front of my mom. We're going to have a family dinner," I told him firmly."Yes, boss," he said."Watch out for Simon. He might be in town. Make sure to track his movements if he's spotted here. H
Amira's P. O. VGood morning, ma'am," Cynthia said, smiling sweetly. I was a bit surprised, but I liked her. She exuded a peaceful aura, instantly putting me at ease more than Alvera did. I smiled back and welcomed her. "You can feel at home, Cynthia," I said to her and went to the dining room. In no time, she brought in my food.As I opened it, the aroma spread throughout the room. Not only was she lovable, but she was also a very good cook. I knew instantly that I was going to form a lasting bond with her. While eating, something struck me: Morris tries to act as if he doesn't care about me, yet he keeps bringing people to help me in the house. I smiled; he really cares about me, even though he tries not to show it.I was almost done eating when I started choking. Someone grabbed me and used the Heimlich maneuver until I spit out the food. I reached for the water and, while drinking it, Morris sat down at the table in front of me. My eyes bulged from their sockets when I saw him.
Amira's P.O.V.As soon as I got home, I started redesigning the house. I didn't know exactly when Morris would return, so I tried my best to beat the clock and finish up with the decorations before he came home. Alvera wasn't there to help me, and I needed assistance. I knew I had to ask Michael for help since he was the only one at home I was already heading out to ask him for help when I saw him enter the sitting room with a box of tools. He assisted me in mounting the curtains and taking care of other tasks, and before the sun set, we were already done. I felt proud of what we accomplished, convinced that Morris would appreciate it. I went upstairs to take a bath. When I came downstairs, the atmosphere was lively; it was different from how it was before. The combination of blue and white made the sitting room look heavenly. It even made me think about having children, but how could I have children if my husband wasn't at home? Even if he were at home, he wouldn't pay me any att
Morris's POVI felt a slight movement around me and opened my eyes. I had fallen asleep while sitting next to my mom's bed. She had woken up and was caressing my hair. I held her hand as our gaze met. She looked at me with the most loving eyes.I sensed she had something to say, so I smiled back at her, urging her to continue. "When will I get to meet her? I mean your wife," she asked. I had promised her the previous day that I would bring Amira to meet her, but I wanted my mom to get better first before introducing them."Mom," I choked on my words, trying not to cry. It was devastating to me that my mom just wanted to give up like that. Not even the thought of me could make her feel better. "Mom," I said again, "once you get a bit better, I'll bring her right away."She smiled gleefully and asked, "What is she like? Who is her mother?" I didn't want to tell her about Amira's origin. I just wanted her to know her as Amira. If she found out she was an Edwards, she would instantly kn
Anna's P. O. VI was in my office, taking care of office-related issues, when a guy walked in. He was the person I hired to help me investigate Morris. I wasn't backing down in this fight—I cared too much for Amira to simply let a dangerous man be her husband. "Ma'am, I've done my research. He is indeed a very secretive person," the guy said. "Whenever it seems I've gotten a lead about him, I find myself at a crossroads," he continued.I believed him. I knew Morris would have figured out by now that I was watching him. I thanked the guy as he left my office.I picked up my phone and called Amira, but she didn't answer. The phone kept on ringing without a response. This made me wonder what Morris had done to her.I wanted to go to her house when I realized that I didn't even know where she lived. Where could Morris be keeping her? I wasn't even sure if she was in this country.Lost in my thoughts, my phone suddenly rang—it was Amira calling back. I answered the phone and found myself
Amira's P.O.VI bit my lower lip as realization hit me. He was doing this on purpose, but what was his reason? He barely knows me. "Alvera, can you at least tell me what I should do?" I asked. Alvera smiled and replied, "Sure, I can do that, ma." I also realized something else. He hadn't told me what he wanted me to make for him. I decided to simply make him my favorite dish; he would like it. With Alvera's help, I was able to make pasta and tomato sauce. Looking at the food, I felt excited. For someone who doesn't know how to cook, this was a masterpiece. I hurriedly dished the food and took it to the dining room. Morris was already seated, waiting for the food. I placed the food in front of him and sat down to help myself to some food. Just as I reached for the spoon, he screamed at me. I stood up immediately, looking at him with fear."You are supposed to serve me and watch me eat, not join me to eat," he said sharply.I panicked and started serving him. This whole thing was new
From a young age, Amira had known that her parents would choose her husband. It was something that was bound to happen, especially now that her father's business had gone down the drain. But when the day finally came for her to meet her prospective groom, Amira couldn't help feeling a sense of apprehension. She had just turned 22 and finished university. She was still innocent and didn't know anything about life, so why did her parents decide without even hearing her out? As she entered the grand ballroom where the arranged marriage introductions were being held, her heart pounded with anticipation and anxiety. Little did she know that this meeting would be the beginning of a journey that would change her life forever.Immediately upon entering the ballroom, all eyes turned to her, and she suddenly became the center of attention. She wore a long sleeveless gown that accentuated her curves, and her makeup was faint, making her look delicate. She could hear people whispering amongs...
