Alyia's POV. "Ma'am, you must change for your next shoot.""Ma'am?""Ma'am, Ma'am Iya said that you must hurry up. We will be late for your next shoot.""Ma'am, is something bothering you?"It is Mira's voice who brought me back to reality. "Hmm? Nothing.", I said while shaking my head. "You've been spacing out since we left your condo, ma'am.", Mira said while holding clothes that I suppose, I'll be using for this shoot. "Nah. It's really nothing, Mira.", I stated while looking at the clothes she's holding. "Also, Cole keeps on calling me. Should I call him back, ma'am? I think he's worried because we left him at your condo while he's still sleeping.", Mira added. I quickly shook my head. "No. Let him be.", I said while still shaking my head. "By the way, what are those clothes for? Is that for my shoot?", I asked her as I point the clothes that she's holding. "Oh! Yes! These are for your shoot later, ma'am. Ma'am Iya said that you must hurry up and change.", Mira said as she
Cosmos' POV."Will you please stop walking around, ag Cosmos? It's making me more worried.", I heard Iya's voice said to me.It's been hours since we can't contact Alyia and it's driving me nuts. She's in danger, that's what I am thinking the whole time. "How can you be that calm? Alyia is missing for hours.", I said and turned my sight on my wrist watch. It's already 11;36 PM. It's really late and dangerous. "I'm sure she's safe. Let's just wait for an update.", Iya said with the same calm voice. "How can you be so sure that she's safe? You hired me to protect her but here we are, we can't find Ma'am Alyia.", I said as I walk around again. "I got news!", a voice said from the door. I immediately went near Mira who said those words. "What? Did you find out where Ma'am Alyia is?", I asked her with worry. "I didn't but the police is ready to help us in any way that they could. We'll just report Miss Alyia as a missing person then, they will do what they can to help us.", she ans
Alyia's POV. "Here, eat these."It was Clay who gave me a tray. I stared at it and was hesitant if I should take it or just let it be. I'm getting hungry. It's been minutes since they contacted Cosmos. Is he really going to save me? In this situation I am in right now, how can I save myself if no one will? I'm feeling useless. Useless because I've been spending my life in a waste. I can't even defend myself."Hey? Miss Alyia?"When I turned my gaze to Clay, he was already snapping his fingers. "How can you act this way if you're going to harm me, after all? Why feed me if I'll just die here?", I asked him trying not to show any reaction. "Just eat, Miss.", he said and disappeared from my sight. I let out a deep sigh while staring at the food. So, how will I eat if I'm covered with rope here? They're really a pack of idiots. While staring at the food, I feel like hearing tik toks of clocks in my head. Tik tok tik tok tik tok. Another minute have passed. Cosmos... It's bee
Cosmos' POV. I sighed in relief when we got in Alyia's condo unit safely. I just laid her down on the sofa and put pillows on her head to make her comfortable and covered her with blanket so that she won't feel cold. I stood up and walked my way to the window. I just did something that the deity told me not to. I feel like betraying her now. I don't know but I feel like I don't regret saving Alyia using my powers. At least, she's safe. That's all that matters to me now. All that matters to me now is her and her safety. I don't like the feeling of worrying about her. She's like this tiny girl that I feel like she's in need of help all the time. Her eyes screams sadness. Her actions are so limited. I feel like she's prohibiting herself not to feel this or that which is actually wrong. A person has his/her free will. He/she has the freedom to feel or speak out his/her opinion. This person, Alyia is one of those people that needs to be saved. That needs to be taught how to let your
Alyia's POV. "Everything is ready, Ma'am. Shall we start?", Mira asked while staring at me waiting for my approval. I turned my back to Cosmos and saw that he just gave me a wink and mouthed 'I got your back' that made me smile. "I'm ready.", I said that caused Mira to open the door. The moment she opened it, flashes of camera welcomed me as I walk to the long table and a seat reserved for me and Mira. Once I reached the table, I adjusted the mic to let my height be equal to it. "Good morning. I hope you're all doing fine. As you know, I am here to answer your questions but before that, I want all of my fans to know that I'm safe and not so well but I am trying my best to beat my trauma because of what happened. I know that most of you are waiting for my official statement regarding all of my activities lately so here I am.", I said as an opening. I saw so many media which isn't new for my sight at all, I know that they will be here. I know that this day, I must be careful of wh
Alyia's POV. "Ma'am, please get ready for another shoot. We're about to start in just a few minutes." I heard Mira's voice said from outside. "On it!" I shouted back as an answer. Before grabbing my things, I heard her footsteps taking its steps away from the door. It's been days since the press conference happened. I took a rest from all of the cameras for a while. Disconnecting from everyone except for Cosmos and Mira isn't easy since I used to tell everyone what I'm up to.The past few days, I let myself rest from everyone outside my condo. I know that my name is still burning because of what happened the last day that I showed myself to the public. Now, it's my second shoot this day in a private place. This magazine will come out in a week and the people here are just a few. I requested it to be this private because I was planning to make a come back in a week from now. I'm just getting ready for what the public reacts towards me. I know that they have different opinions towa
Alyia's POV."We're here to claim what's ours." She said that made me so confused. "Cherry!" The woman exclaimed that didn't make me stop staring at the girl. "I'm so sorry about that, Alyia." The woman added and paid her attention to me. I tried to smile but I can't do it without the awkwardness filling inside this room that we're currently at. "Uh? Miss Alyia really feels this uncomfortable when she has a visitor. Most especially when you're at her house. Can I know what brought you here, Ma'am?" Mira cut in whom saved me from that awkward moment that I was in. "Maybe it's really unusual but we're here to visit you, dear." The middle-aged woman said and smiled at me. "What for?" I asked briefly and straight to their faces. I know that I mustn't be this way but that girl got into my nerves quickly. I can still feel his glares to me that is really annoying me now. She's currently in my place, for goodness sake! Can't she realize that? At least pay respect since you're just visi
Alyia's POV. "You know? You're just hungry." I said to lessen the uncertain aura filling us now. I looked inside the bags and found the box where the chicken wings are in. I opened it after snatching it from Cosmos and took a piece of it. "Here. Have some." I said and quickly put the bit size chicken wings in Cosmos' mouth. He frowned which made me chuckle. He's joking a while ago, right? Of course, there's no way that what he said to you were all true, a voice answered me through my mind. "I'll just go get the rice and you! you must have the table ready when I finished getting us rice, got it?" I said to his face. He's still trying to finish chewing the piece of chicken inside him so he just gave me a salute, indicating that he understood. I gestured him that I got my eyes on him that just made her smile widely. The kind of smile that hides your eyes. He's really cute when he does that. Wait, what?! Cute who? No, he's not! He's still that annoying bodyguard that I met months

I can clearly remember every word he said that day."Are you sure you will
Alyia's Point of View."Are you really going to do this? You can still continue showbiz while you're being my wife, though." Cosmos said as he stared at me and I am here putting makeup on.I don't really want to put any makeup on but I have to. Since it's the last time. After this, I'll be free anyway."You know I must have done this long time ago but I think now is the best time since I want to settle down with you and this little child in my tummy. Also, I don't have to do showbiz anymore. You and this baby in here is enough." I said at his face and smiled.After the visit that we did on Flame and Aunt Carrie, we immediately drove our way here. Days ago, I called for a press conference. Since months have passed since I got out from our house just to avoid people, I think today is the perfect time.We also or I must say Cosmos did hire a doctor to go to our house to do every
Alyia's Point of View.Months later..."Hurry up, Lyra. We might be late!" Cosmos' voice yelled from downstairs while I'm in the middle of putting on my makeup."Wait a second!" I yelled back at him."You already know that the visiting hours for him are limited, baby. Let's hurry up." He said when he got in our room."Okay okay. I'm done." I said and stared at my reflection on the mirror one more time.Months after Flame took me out, we found out about all of the things he did. Including surrendering to the police. I already know now. Everything sinks in my mind now."Are you really done?" Cosmos asked me and I saw him raise a brow at me."Can I have a little help with this?" I asked and pointed at myself whom can't stand up because of my tummy who is making it hard for me to stand up.
Alyia's Point of View."Am I going to pick you up by 2 pm or what?" He asked while we're inside his car."I will just call you." I answered and as I look outside to see the coffee shop that Flame told me we'll meet up and when I saw it, I tapped Cosmos' shoulder."Stop right there." I said and pointed the parking space in front of the coffee shop."Are you really sure you don't want to bring me around?" He asked as he park the car.I want to have him around so that they'll have good terms with Flame because the last thing I knew about them, they weren't in good terms. They do be speaking with each other but I know he was jealous with Flame and Flame also accesses him for being arrogant."You know I want to but Flame told me not to bring anyone. I already told you about that, right?" I asked him and he smiled to me."Of cours
Cosmos' Point of View.Coming home to Lyra after a tiring day is my most favorite part of my day. It is monday. Yesterday, we spent each other's day together. Both of us had no work yesterday except for her photoshoot that became ours.I wasn't really ready for that photoshoot of hers. Not until somebody mentioned that she will be doing it with a guy. I didn't want her going around with guys. She's mine.That thought made me smile. Yes, mine. All mine."I'm home." I said when I came out from my car and came in the house.For the meantime, since the house that we are staying here in my house. Lyra moved in here to be with me. I know she didn't got out since the morning because she is sick.I didn't wanted to leave her alone here but I had to.When I walked in the house, I looked around the place, looking for her but nothing. I think, she
Alyia's Point of View."Are you sure I look okay? What about I wear that one? Or this one? Or that one on my bed?" I asked Flame while I point the clothes that I meant."Are you serious now, Alyia? Why are you wasting your time like this? What if he's already there? It's already 9:30 for pete's sake. What are you doing?" He asked me that made me really nervous that I had to look at my wrist watch only to sew that it's just 8:50."It's just 8:50 pm!" I yelled at him because I did really became nervous because of what he said."It's better be advanced than sorry, Alyia." He answered with the shaking of his head."You scared me!" I yelled at him and walked to my chair with my mirror in front of it."You already look good. What are you thinking? You're fine as what you are. Now, go. You don't want me to drag you outside eh?" He asked me and it seems l
Alyia's Point of View."Oh my god. Is what I'm thinking right now is correct or I'm just seeing things?" The host asked as she stares at the photo flashed on the screen and unto the both of us.This is what I'm avoiding to happen but yeah, it happened. Why did they have to bring that picture back, though?I am at the middle of thinking how will I react without looking like I'm still not over him in front of the camera now. I can't show people that after I answered their questions about him the last time I got in here."This is making her uncomfortable. Can we please cut the cameras? I don't want Ms. Vega to be uncomfortable towards me." I heard Cosmos' voice said that made me more embarrassed.Why would he say that? People will think that we're still together because of what he's acting towards me now.I want to cover his mouth with my hand to mak
Cosmos' Point of View. I'm seeing her now. What should I do? I practiced so many times at the office earlier on how to talk to her but now, I know that I can't talk to her without stuttering. I can't talk to her without me being nervous. Well, that shit happens all the time to me. It sounds cringe, yeah for a man like me but I can't deny the fact that she still gives me butterflies in my stomach after all these time. After all the years I've spent on dreaming and thinking about her. "Sir, are you okay with no makeup on or we should call someone to put one on you?" Someone from the staffs approached me that made me look away from Lyra. "No. I'm fine. Thank you for the offer but I'm not used to makeups and such." I answered her shacking my head a no. "Oh. Okay. You can just wait here before we set everything up. Just call someone if you need something, Sir." She said and I responded with a thank you then she immediately disappeared from my sight, blending with the busy people aroun
Alyia's Point of View. It is monday. The first day of my week. My weekends ended real fast. It was friday I last saw people. That day that Cosmos told me the truth. I don't know if it's really the truth because I don't know what to think of about that. It seems like after I heard that, I want to reset the time. I want the whole world to stop and let me process everything but no. The world didn't stop. I continued living, the world continued rotating. My world continued on going and moving forward and I didn't want that. I just want to stay here in my house. Alone. I didn't want to see people so I locked myself in here, alone. Even Flame didn't tried to contact me because in our last meeting, I told him not to. "Why do I have to go now? Can't it be weekends again?" I groaned and got off my bathtub. When I stood up, I covered myself with my bathrobe that was just chilling on my hanger on the wall. I looked at my reflection on the mirror and asked myself, "What if he's telling the t
