"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.
On the breakfast table they ate quietly, not even looking at each other for once then getting each other's backpack they went different ways.When getting in the car Amyra was surprised the moment she saw her driver was not Peter but someone else. "Where is Peter?" She asked."Peter is driving Mr Bryant to his office. Mr Bryant said, from today on I am your driver. And if you go somewhere, walk on your legs then you must take me with you." "..." Amyra knew Samuel worked for Xavier. Apart from being a driver, Samuel aka Sam was quite a trained fighter. Though Amyra had no idea about it. But all she knew was that Xavier must have changed Peter because of the fight last night. 'Can't believe he is so childish! My goodness.' Two days passed like that, both of them did their usual work but didn't talk to each other. After submitting her assignment to the teacher, Amyra was waiting for her friends while sitting on the chair to have lunch. She was listening to a song through head
The Next Morning A white towel wrapped around his waist, droplets of water falling down his wet hair and some droplets of water lingering with his body. Xavier walked towards the cupboard unhurriedly. He took the blue shirt out of the cupboard and was going for something else… With a wholehearted yawn she crawled down the bed, she scraped her messy hair and stretched out her arms then yawned again. Scratching her head she strolled towards some direction she didn't know about. It was until her head hit something and she couldn't walk past. Amyra, keeping her eyes closed, touched the wall that stopped her and whimpered,"This wall doesn't feel hard, but shouldn't it be?" She touched it here and there then some smell got into her nostrils. "Smells so good." Shuddering her nose she abruptly stretched out her arms and placed her lips on what she took as a soft wall. "Delicious smell." Amyra put forward her hand around. "You can borrow my body wash if you like the smell… Mrs Br
"So he is the famous businessman, Xavier Bryant and he is… he is your husband? Oh my God!" Sofia's words played in her mind. It took time but at last Sofia understood it all and she promised Amyra that she would keep it a secret. Xavier turned out to be very helpful, he not only sent some of his men to protect Charlotte in the hospital but he was also considerate to send Sofia to her home in his car though it was at the exact opposite route from his mansion. "You, are you feeling better now?" Handing Amyra a bottle of water Xavier asked her so. "Hmm." She smiled sadly. The whole time she kept looking into space. True to say, once she thought there was nothing she was scared of anymore but it was proven wrong soon. After her granny died, she got her friends, she worried about her mom mostly and even for Zenaya. "Why didn't you want to introduce me as… as your husband to your friend?" Xavier asked her casually, he was really curious to know the reason. It was normal since mo
'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
