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
"Sofia!" "Amy, run away. Run far from them or they will… Ahh…" Sofia was laying on the floor, there were cuts on her face, arms and legs. Surely they beat the hell out of her. "Oops, look who's here. Oh Sofy, your dear friend is here to save you." One of the girl's legs was on Sofia's palm and someone was grabbing her hair. Her face said it all... how much pain she was in. "No, Sofia." Amyra took a step towards them and Sofia screamed out, "No, don't come here. Please…" Blood was oozing out of her forehead, they beat her too much. "Why wouldn't she come? You went to the professor to tell him about us, you did it for your friends after all. She should do this at least… get beaten up instead of you." Amyra was aghast, she didn't know when Sofia went to the professor to complain about them. "Sofia…" Amyra stepped an inch and suddenly someone from behind hit her back and she fell to the ground. "No, Amy. I told you not to… Ahh!" Sofia's scream was blood-curdling. One of the b
"Did you check if she's really in her friend's home?" Xavier asked casually though Jacob could see it was something behind the carpet. "Yes, she is really there. I've checked the CCTV footage there. Here is it." Sam handed him a tab. With a serious face, Xavier was staring at it. But the moment he did he knew something was wrong. "Check where she is now. This is not her." "Huh? But I…" Samuel looked at it again. He checked it before showing it to his boss in case something goes off. "She won't keep sitting in one place and this girl seems to be smiling more, my wife doesn't do that. It's not her, go and check her location right now." "I'm on it, sir." Sam took his leave. Usually, Xavier would have been busy with work since there was something important he must finish but instead of doing that, he wanted Sam to check on Amyra. While drinking water he was thinking about where she could be and why she lied to him. He put the glass aside and glanced at the phone screen. 'Ar
The Next Morning"Ahhhh! Why didn't you make a sound? I got so startled!" Patting her chest she took a deepbreath. She just came out from the shower and Xavier was standing at the door."Even if I'd, you wouldn't even hear me." He contended. Right, she forgot that it wassoundproof. Walking some inches away from him, she asked him, "So what is it?""If you don't feel good, you can go for a check-up to the doctor." He affirmed.Amyra looked at her arms, she was feeling better now. "It's ok, I don't feel bad. So there's noneed."Amyra was drying her hair and he was standing still. Since yesterday night, he had beenthinking about what Sam told him. Sam's later words were still playing in his ears."Actually Mrs Bryant went to take revenge. Some girls always bully her in school, andbecause of them both her friends got badly hurt. I guess that's why she went to one girl'sbirthday party and beat the bullies.""Did she get hurt?""No, but the girls are admitted to the hosp
Amyra was sitting at one side and as if the rest were on the other. Someone's mother came, someone's father came and someone's both parents did but she had no guardian to give her back up. The principal in a serious tone conveyed, "They are the parents of the innocent girls you have victimised. The whole school is in chaos now, videos of you beating them and harassing them are online. They want an explanation from you, why did you do that to their children?" Amyra was not so shocked at the principal's words. She with an agitated face defended, "I think there's a big misunderstanding, I never beat them. But their kids were the one, they har…" Not hearing any explanation from her the principal cut her off, "Misunderstanding? They testified that you beat them. There's no need to lie." "Yes, principal. My daughter said this girl beat them so badly without any sympathy. She said that this girl always bullies others, just ask others if she still wants to lie." "I…" The princip
