"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
"Don't worry, I took care of that girl. I bet Mr Bryant is going to hate her forever. He will surely divorce her and marry you. I will…" Suddenly feeling someone was watching her as soon as Kim turned her head she was astounded. Holding the phone close to her chest Kim muttered, "You… when did you arrive…" "Mom? Mom, what's wrong? Mom?" From the other side of the call a female voice spoke up. Both Amyra and Kim could hear her."I will…" Kim commenced saying something but then Amyra snatched her phone from her hand. "Give it back!" As Kim raised her hand to get her phone back Amyra pushed a chair towards Kim. Kim ended up sitting on the chair. "Mom? When will I get married to him? I can't wait any longer. I hate to stay here." Amyra walked some inches away from Kim then turning around she asserted in a serious tone, "You will never get married to him, your mom is just giving you false hope." "Who are you?" "That doesn't matter but… you can think of me as someone who wants
"If he needs me to be the light in his darkness, I will happily embrace him into my arms." ~Amyra Sitting on the bed Xavier was glancing at the photo frame in his hand, it was taken when he was little. He was smiling in the photo and there was a woman next to him with a man on the other side. A happy family! "Mom, Dad. How are you doing there?" He hugged the photo and closed his eyes. At the At least, there was something that gave him mental peace. Amyra walked into the room and saw he was already slumbering. For some reason, she felt happy when he suddenly hugged her, a little time of happiness but when he told her that he mistook her for someone, it only made her sad. She was disappointed. Why? She didn't want to think about the reason but the more time she was spending with him, the more she was knowing new things about him. It was probably midnight, and Amyra kept rolling on the bed, she was trying to fall asleep. Outside, it was probably raining and the clouds were
