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
"Lady boss, we failed to kill her." A man contended in an agitated tone from the other side of the call. Hearing him, the woman who was still holding the phone near her ears knocked her phone at the wall. Making some noises, it broke into several parts, making pitches. She gripped her fists in resentment. 'Bunch of a$$holes! They can't even kill a little woman! Useless!!!' "There is something. They could have killed her conceivably since she has no skills to protect herself but suddenly some women beat them." Another man standing behind her reported to her.Turning around she raised her eyebrows, "What?""Yes, that woman is quite skilled. Even though those guys were good at fighting, they got beaten up badly. And far more, there had been three men at the scene according to the report." Hearing the man she snickered. But in a second her reaction changed. She slapped him, looking at him angrily as she blurted out, "Are you kidding me? I know her very well, from bone to bone. She can
The Next MorningAmyra was done taking a shower, as she had to go to school soon today she wanted to get ready fast.She grabbed her bag and as she pushed the door open, scanning the whole room she took a step ahead but then she saw him. Xavier was in a sweatpant and t-shirt. Sweats all over on his body, Amyra with wide eyes looked at him. 'He probably just worked out.' she heard herself saying so. "Tell them to come up with a whole new idea this afternoon. If they can't give me a satisfying answer by the time then fire all of them." Xavier said to Jacob through the call. He sounded somehow annoyed.Done with the call, he tossed his earphones at the table and then took off his t-shirt in one go. His sexy body was visible to her eyes now, his sweaty body made him look hotter.Amyra gulped and saw him walking towards one side of the room and she still couldn't take her eyes off his hot physique. 'D*mn, he is so hot!'She mumbled. Quickly covering her mouth she mumbled again, 'What's w
"What did you say?" Amyra's eyes went wide in surprise as she heard Jacob. Jacob looked at his wristwatch and let out in a serious tone, "Granny is at the Stardawn Mansion right now. She wants to see you and Mr Bryant." "Oh my God! Then where's Mr Bryant?" "He is on his way to the mansion but he will meet with us in the nearby cafe of the mansion." He explained. Hearing him she let out a sigh. She didn't know that they called her. Her phone was in silent mode, she hoped she wouldn't get scolded for that. Jacob had been looking at her for quite a while now, he had taken another look at his hand when she was sitting still. "I think you should take care of your wound first." He asserted. Unable to understand Amyra looked at him confusingly and Jacob pointed his hand at her wrist. She quickly hid her hand behind and smiled sadly, "Sorry I forgot about that." Jacob was surprised a little as she didn't say anything about it. As if she was quite accustomed to it, she took out a j
Nysa had been playing with Amyra for a while now, though Amyra didn't know how to play the game since she was new to it and Xavier also left her with Nysa to play. Thankfully his idea of the coat thingy worked way better than he imagined. "Granny, why don't you stay with us for more time?" It was evening, and Nysa wanted to leave. Amyra had a great time with her, she got to relive life with her granny. Nysa smiled at her and then held her hand gently. "I can't, dear. Your grandpa would be angry if he knew I left the mansion." Amyra and Xavier both smiled and she left the case there like that. When they both were standing still, Nysa took Xavier's hand all of a sudden and then put Amyra's hand on his palm. Surprised, they both looked at her. Nysa smiled wholeheartedly and touched Amyra's face. "It's a blessing to my eyes to see you guys happy. I don't know how long I will live…" "Granny…"Seeing both of them concerned, Nysa walked forward towards Amyra and looked at her.
"I am full." Amyra grabbed her phone from the table and stood up, ready to leave. Xavier scowled at her plate of food that had all the food left on it and asserted, "You ate only two vegetables." "I…""Sit back and finish your breakfast first. Then you can leave." He sounded bossy as if he was not just saying her but ordering her to do so. Amyra peeked at the screen of her phone and uttered, "I don't have an appetite." With those words as she walked forward to leave he let out, "I don't have to repeat myself, do I? Mrs Bryant." That Mrs Bryant, she thought he'd start calling her by her name or nickname but he came up with an incredible and unexpected name for her that would remind her every time that she was married to him. Letting out a sigh of despair she sat back and started gobbling all the food in her mouth as fast as she could. "Nobody's snatching your food." He reminded her. "Thanks for the reminder." Amyra now had only one thing running through her mind and it wa
"Actually I have checked everything out but there's something I can't understand so I need your help with my assignment. Would you mind helping me with my assignment?" Both Xavier and Jacob, like a hawk, were gawking at Ezra. 'Say no! Say no! Don't say… yes…' Jacob rubbed his forehead as he heard Ezra's answer, "Sure, why not." As soon as Ezra said he would help her, the pencil in Xavier's hand was parted in two pieces and seeing that Jacob felt bad for Ezra. "Jacob." "Yes, Mr Bryant." "Bring me green tea." "Green tea…" he murmured and stared at Ezra who was busy with Amyra not having the slightest idea of what was waiting for him. Xavier gazed at Jacob coldly and asked, "You got a problem?" "No, I… I will go and get it right away." Jacob quickly left from there. He wanted to warn Ezra to not help Amyra but he already dug his own grave himself.Sigh! "Here, what does it mean?" When Ezra was explaining things to her Amyra looked into space. The truth was she was fright
"Miss Cassidy, you are here finally. Mrs Cora had been crying to see you, she missed you." A nurse was patting a middle-aged woman's shoulder gently when she was sitting on the bed and looking into the space. Amyra put the basket of fruits on the table and walked to them. In an apologetic tone, she uttered, "I am sorry, I'm late." "Mrs Cora, see who came to see you?" The nurse dabbed her back gently. The middle-aged woman frowned at Amyra but she had no words to say.Both the nurse and Amyra let out a sigh then the nurse left. Amyra sat next to the middle-aged woman and let out in a sincere tone, "Mrs Cora, sorry I'm late this month. I missed you too, you know… I learnt a new hairstyle, let me try it on you." She stood up and grabbed the hair comb and started combing the middle-aged woman named Mrs Cora's hair. Unexpectedly Mrs Cora clasped her hand and gawked at her, "Bora, is that you? Bora, you finally came back. Bora…" Amyra snuggled her and murmured, "Yes, Mrs Cora.
