The main door was slowly opening and her heart commenced beating faster, she had been grasping onto the wedding bouquet tightly with both her hands as she took a deep, trying to lessen her nervousness.As the door opened, everybody's eyes went to the bride. Looking up, her eyes fixated straight to her groom. Xavier was standing at the right of the altar and glancing at her.Amyra looked down and unhurriedly started walking. This was giving her a different feeling, past ones. She imagined this with James before, their wedding day was also fixed. She imagined walking to the altar for him, she thought it before but now… when she was walking on the altar with her wedding bouquet in her hand her eyes caught on the front seats where unfamiliar people were sitting. For a moment she saw her parents sitting on the chairs. They were looking at her and smiling, Amyra also smiled at them. Gradually, tears were falling down her eyes and she stopped walking. How could she be happy? She thought on
“Kim? Kim?” Xavier called her name in a super disgruntled tone twice.Kim hurriedly ran into his room as fast as she could, pausing for a moment as she panted. Xavier never liked late ones so people knew the rules here, they wouldn’t be late if they loved their lives.“Yes, Mr Bryant?”Seeing Kim he ordered her in a stiff tone, “Bring me green tea.”“Eh? At this time?”“Why? Can’t I drink it now? Do I need to have a specific time for that?”Kim quickly bowed her head and in a frightened tone of voice uttered, “No, I didn’t mean that. I wanted to sa…”Xavier didn’t wait for her to finish her line, instead, to shut her up he hit his strong hand on the table and Kim understood it. Walking out of the room she dabbed her chest, she was merely holding onto her breath. It almost freaked her out. Nobody wants to get under his wrath.As Kim left, Xavier in his study room loosened his necktie irritatedly, then taking it off he started unbuttoning his shirt while murmuring angrily, “That woman
"Where am I going?" The make-up artist just did her make-up when Amyra peeked at Xavier who was sitting on the chair and had his eyes closed."To meet my family." He responded to her."Ohh." Letting out a sigh she looked calm as he answered her. But then she abruptly stood up, "You said your family? Wait, you mean we are going to..."Xavier opened his eyes and glimpsed at her, "Right." She bit her lips and tried staying calm. She read about his family members before but suddenly hearing that she was going to meet them Amyra got apprehensive. It was his family after all. She never met them before. Who knew what was awaiting her?Thinking that she still had time as she wanted to run to her room to review, he held her hand. "We will be late if we don't leave now.""But..."Xavier's sharp gaze cut her petition off.Letting out a sigh she stared down, "Fine. Let's go."In the car Amyra had only been looking at the street from the car window, it was such a mesmerising view. She always like
After dinner, Amyra was sent to a room. They told her she was going to stay here tonight. 'I am so tired. Let's take a bath first then go to sleep.'Amyra was taking a bath in the shower. The hot water poured on her soft body, she felt so nice. She started humming a song in the shower but since it was soundproof, no sound could be heard from outside the bathroom.**"Tell the finance department to take care of it, I will look at the final proposal once I'm back in the office.""Ok, Mr Bryant."Putting his phone in his pocket after talking to Jacob, Xavier looked at his wristwatch. Everyone was gone to their rooms by now since it was getting quite late.'Where did this woman go? Maybe in the room or....' Sigh!Walking into his room Xavier slowly unbuttoned his sleeves, taking off his shirt he put it on the couch. Taking a shower before sleeping was always a must for him, he could never fall asleep without it. On his pants, Xavier sauntered towards the bathroom.Coming into his room
"What are these?""Phone, Mr Bryant will contact you through this if it's an emergency. And this is a black card, buy anything you want with it." Jacob explained as he handed her the packages.Amyra glanced at the gifts like Jacob told her they were really the same. "But I said it already, I won't be charging any extra money.""You did but as Mrs Bryant, there are things you must follow so you must take this black card and this phone.""Fine." Taking the box Amyra stood up and looked outside from the window. It was such nice weather. In the morning, she came back to the Stardawn Mansion where she would be living with Xavier as his wife with Mrs Bryant's title."I shall take my leave since I have done my job.""Wait."Amyra gaped at Jacob. From head to toe, he more likely looked like those stunning secretaries, hot, handsome and strict. 'It wouldn't be easy but it seems to be really a bad idea to take him to my gang. Forget it.'"Where is your boss?" She questioned."He is on his way
"I see a handsome man and... And another handsome man." Chloe in a drunkard tone whimpered but enough louder so her friend could hear her.Amyra swivelled her head at the men then she chuckled foolishly at them. Not even trying to get her wrist ungrabbed she pronounced, "Then we both are drunk... That devil wouldn't be here haha."By saying so she was going to sit back in the chair but Xavier took her in his arms in the blink of an eye, "I told her not to make problems for me and here is she."Seeing them go towards the car Jacob asked, "What should we do with this Miss?"Xavier grimaced at Amyra who was smiling like a fool in his arms and then he let out, "Send her to her home.""But, I don't know where she lives.""Then find it out.""My girlfriend will kill me if I..." Hearing him murmuring something Xavier looked at him. "What are you mumbling about?""Uhm, can I... Can I skip?""Don't worry about Liana, I will tell her that it was an order you had to follow."Hearing him, Jacob p
Stretching out her arms, she yawned and relaxingly opened her eyes."Aaahhhhh!" As soon as her eyes opened Amyra started shrieking but looking around she halted. Next to her sleeping was the man she got married to two days ago. And surveying the whole place she could understand that the room was his. She bit her lips and quickly took a look at her clothes. Thankfully, everything was placed in its right place. But the question was... They slept on the same bed, how was it possible? Was she not supposed to be in her room? She let out a sigh and glared at her husband. Xavier's exquisite facial features even stood out as superior in the morning. Just WOW. Hitting her head, "Have you lost your mind? This is your super annoying cheating husband, don't forget." Amyra was going to trudge out of the bed but something got her. "I remember drinking with Chloe then how did I come here? And even sleeping with... This man.""Why are you talking at the top of your lungs in the morning?" Xavier o
At NightAt the dining table, they both were sitting opposite each other. Xavier glared at her once when she was eating continuously. Since she didn't like people looking at her while eating, he let all the people leave them alone."I'm done." With that as she got up from her chair, he stood up as well. "Where did you go today?""I..." 'Should I tell him the truth or lie?' she bit her lips. Amyra remembered Ezra told her that she needed to leave her city, but without telling her dear fake husband she went to law school that was situated exactly in her city. She didn't know what to tell him.Not getting an answer from her Xavier raised his eyebrows, "Got no mouth?"'I said it, that overly annoying mouth of his. So rude!'"What are you mumbling at?"Amyra smiled at him sheepishly and explained, "I went to... Uhmm, somewhere important.""Important where?""Uhmm, important where..." She didn't know what excuse to come up with. That was hella annoying, she didn't know how to give an excu
'Will I get killed for real?' Amyra looked around. Zenaya's people captured her when she tried to escape here. She didn't have her phone with her, so there was no way she could call for help. "Shoot her!" Zenaya ordered her people. Allen was nowhere to be seen and there were all Zenaya's people. Who could possibly come to help her? Just as they were about to do it suddenly a familiar voice from the dark spoke up. "Nobody should touch even her hair or I will kill you all." Amyra saw Allen walking towards her. Though she hated him, right now, he was the most suitable choice for her to escape from them. With a big smile lingering with her lips she quickly ran to Allen and hid behind him as if he was her protective shield. "Allen, she wants to kill me." Allen glared at Amyra worriedly and then at Zenaya angrily. "What did you do to her?" "I..." "Allen, she said she wanted me to sign on paper and after that, she would have killed me." Thankfully Xavier told her everything or it w
"Where are you going?" Seeing Xavier, she turned around. Amyra just cut the call with Allen, she wondered if he heard the conversation. She stood firm. "When did you come back?" "A while ago." He answered and walked into her room. 'Seems he didn't hear us. It's all good then.' Amyra put on a smile and took a deep breath in. Xavier walked to her and let out, "I've reserved seats for us in a movie theatre. I understood I couldn't give you much time so... Let's go, babe." He extended his hand towards her, asking for her hand. "Theatre?" Amyra looked away. There was no way she could go somewhere else tonight. "Yes, why? You don't like it?" "Uhmm... Actually... I don't feel like..." "What's wrong? Babe. You don't feel good? Is something wrong?" He worriedly looked at her. Amyra smiled at him cheekily and turned away from him. As if she couldn't just lie while standing face-to-face with him. "Babe?" "Actually I have something more important to do so I won't be..." She asserted. H
The Next Morning Amyra just finished taking a shower. Chloe made an appointment with a gynaecologist for Amyra and she was going to meet her today. She decided no matter what she would keep the child. And since she found him not liable she decided she wouldn't tell him anything about her unborn child, let it stay the way things were. After getting ready as she opened the door she was stunned. She was astounded to see Xavier sleeping outside her room. "Hey, get up." She told him. Xavier didn't move an inch let alone wake up. "Why is he sleeping here when he has his room? Silly man." She squatted to wake him up. She called out for him again, "Xavier, wake up. It's already past ten in the morning." No response! "Mr and Mrs Bryant..." Seeing them a worker asserted so. Amyra let out a sigh and touched his arm to pull him up. "Xa... What's wrong with him?" Quickly touching his forehead Amyra let out worriedly, "Please help me to take him to my room." The worker helped to carry Xa
A month later Things seemed to be going well. One month passed and nobody tried harming her again. And Xavier's men caught some men who helped to reach Zenaya more. 'Today is an important day, I am going to graduate hehe.' Looking at the mirror she smiled and then walked out of her room. She with a smile looked at everyone when they greeted her with a good morning. Amyra pulled the chair to sit on and the opposite of her she saw him. Xavier also pulled the chair for himself to sit on it.Upon seeing him she remembered many things such as the way he had been treating her these past few days. He told her that he would probably not be able to give her more time and she said ok, when he came back from work she already fell asleep. As if they were getting more distant day by day. Seeing Amyra turn around Xavier quickly let out, "I don't bite. Sit down." Amyra looked at the chair, she was reluctant to listen to him. Then thinking of something she sat on the chair. It was not like they
The Next Morning Keeping his eyes shut, Xavier unhurriedly scurried around. He lazily lengthened his hand and as he touched a woman's head he quickly opened his eyes. His expression showed he was flabbergasted. Staring at the back of the woman's head he remembered about last night then a big smile played on his lips. He moved close to her and then placed a kiss on her forehead. By his touch, Amyra gradually opened her eyes. She with half-opened eyes looked at Xavier who was also looking at her. Amyra hastily sat on the bed as she saw him grinning at her. "Good morning." He sat next to her and grinned at her. Amyra's expression immediately changed when she remembered what just happened last night. She didn't smile seeing him glimmering at her. Instead, she just ran to the bathroom while wrapping the cover around her body somehow. "Amy..." He was left unheard. Standing against the bathroom door Amyra covered her mouth with her hands. Tears fell down to her eyes and she sat on th
Opening the door Amyra ran to the room. It was all dark in the room, the clouds growling got it more disastrous. As if the night wanted to slaughter someone."The lights are gone. I need to find him as soon as possible." Turning on the torch in her phone Amyra looked around. "Xavier, it's me Amyra. Where are you?" Thankfully, she got to be here before the weather started getting bad. "Xavier, can you hear me? Can you tell me where you are?" She clamoured for him for the second time but she could only hear her voice getting back to her. Jacob told her which hotel Xavier was staying at so she could be here faster. The more clouds were screeching outside, the more she started feeling sceptical. "Xa..." Suddenly she impeded sauntering as her eyes snagged on the timid figure. Xavier was sitting in a corner of the room. His face immersed within his knees and he was quivering in fear. Her heart agonised the way she saw him, he looked so dreadful. She ran to him and sitting on the floor s
"Mrs Bryant, run!" Sam's blood-curdling scream echoed in the whole room. "But I can't just leave you here like this...." "Don't worry about me, please run away from here. Please, I beg you." "I... I'm sorry." Amyra started running as fast as she could without looking back. She could hear the sound of gunshots and fight. Thankfully she saw people were following the car she was in when she looked at the rear view mirror of the car or she couldn't imagine what would happen if they were to reach Xavier.Sam protected her and fought them with his men but in that process, he got hurt. She didn't want to leave him alone but she couldn't stay as he begged her to leave. "Hold on, Sam. I will get someone to help you, please don't give up!" "Catch her! Remember we must kill her today no matter what!" Amyra heard the people running after her. She got to hurt her leg but right now, saving herself from them was the most important thing. As she was running, suddenly two guys stood before her
'Has he gone mad? Because of him, now everyone calls me Xavier's Bride in school. Before it was peaceful at school, but because of him now it's ruined...' Annoyed Amyra sauntered upstairs. She was so damn weary coming back from school. The whole day was exhausting especially because Xavier let everyone see that he was her husband. Letting out a sigh she walked into her room, closed the door and put her bag on the couch. Taking off her clothes she wrapped a towel around her body, put her hair in a messy bun and walked to the bathroom. "Ahhhhh!" Suddenly she started shrieking. Seeing her screaming Xavier hastily covered her mouth with his hand. Pulling her inside the bathroom he pushed her against the wall. Amyra had no idea that he would be inside. She saw water dripping from his hair, he was in his white bathrobe and looked like he just took a shower. She saw him like this before but every time she felt like looking at him again and again. He gradually let her hand go and then s
The Next Morning 'He probably left last night after I fell asleep, or maybe it was in the early morning... He probably was just trying to play me again or it can be that he went back to his girlfriend, Layla...' Sigh! Putting on the bathrobe, Amyra sauntered out of the bathroom, her hair wrapped messily with a white towel when full of thoughts tinkering in her mind. 'Well, it's not like he has to say anything to anyone. We're not related anyway, soon we... We will be separated... ' She put her skirt on and then tied her hair up in a ponytail. Putting on some lip balm she pulled her bag that was placed on the table. Amyra had something important to do in school today so she decided she would miss breakfast at home if only it could be called her home anymore. Tsk! Tsk! When she was on her way downstairs, she saw Kim. She was probably talking to her daughter or someone. Amyra remembered what Xavier told her the last time. Could she take revenge on her? She suffered so much because
