"Are you ok? Buddy." Jacob passed Xavier a bottle of water and took one for himself. There were many people around them. Xavier was snoozing on the boxing floor, he sat nonetheless and answered, "Yeah." "Are you sure?" Xavier erratically bobbed his head. "But you don't look so good." "Then how should I look?" He paused for a moment as he raised his brows.Jacob nodded his head and let out, "You didn't tell her, did you?" This time Xavier settled quietly. For a moment he was lost in imagination when Jacob proclaimed, "In a relationship, if you don't clear the misunderstanding, it might turn into a bigger problem later that's hard to solve, you know." "Bigger problem?" With a nod, Jacob stood up. "She saw you with another woman in the news, think how might she be feeling. If you don't tell her that you have got nothing to do with the model, the problem will be solved." "She doesn't wanna know, she doesn't care." "So you agree you care about her?" "I don't." Xavier prompt
"Good night, Dr Chloe." Changing clothes Chloe looked around at her desk and then grabbed onto her purse. She sauntered out of the elevator, heading towards the passageway. Chloe took out her phone to call Amyra, she got a new lead in the murder case so she was going to tell her that. The phone was ringing and she didn't notice that she was not wearing any shoes. Just as she was about to open the door to leave the passageway she felt her feet cold. Strange! Looking down at her feet Chloe bit her lips and hit her head. "I forgot to wear my shoes again. Shit, I have to go back." With that when she turned around something felt weird. Chloe surely saw someone hiding in a corner, the passageway felt solitaire. There was not even a bee there. Turning around she kept wandering and like she reckoned someone was indeed following her. Chloe somehow typed some words and pressed on 'send'. Then she started running towards a door when two guys kept running after her. About to pull the
"What do you mean I am not going to school today?" "Today, you are not going to your school but with me in a place." Amyra guessed he was probably talking about acting, seeing him already in a suit. He was all ready for the trip. "Ohh, will granny be there? How about uncle and aunt…" "They won't." "Huh? Then…" "Only we two." He answered her. Amyra, overexcited, asked a little louder, "We two?" As he nodded his head she bit her lips. 'What is he planning to do?' "Then where are we exactly going?" "It's a surprise." Amyra was sitting next to him in the car while her eyes were blindfolded when she was wondering where he was taking her to. In the morning, what surprise was he going to give her? Xavier could see how apprehensive she was, he held her hand and let out, "Don't worry, it's a place you like." "Ahh?" Xavier glimmered hearing her. As the car stopped he held her hand strong and helped her to get out of the car. Amyra was getting a familiar feeling about the plac
Beside James was standing Mila, holding his hands. Amyra's mood changed the moment she saw him. She least expected to see them again. "Where have you been these past months? You as if vanished into the air." James said, sounding worried about her. And Mila mingled with him, "Right, Amy. We have been so worried about you. We tried finding you everywhere we possibly could but we could not find you anywhere. Where have you been?" Amyra couldn't believe them. They were so shameless that even lying in her face, they were not ashamed to do so. Amyra looked at Mila's belly, it was growing up. Remembering that they dare to cheat on her behind her back and showing her fake lashes were super cringy. James was about to walk to Amyra but Mila suddenly took a turn. She sauntered to her and held her arms. "Amy, do you know how much I missed you? I have been always thinking about you, and James has been…"Not interested to hear her lies Amyra loosened her arm from her grip and stepped so
"Who's the man standing beside Amyra? Omg, he is so f*cking handsome. My heart…" Amyra could feel all the eyes fixed on her. Some were looking at her with covetousness and some with amusement. "I know who he is. He is named Xavier Bryant, one of the top businessmen in our country. He is not only handsome but also filthy rich, there are thousands of girls waiting to marry him on the list." The girls cried out. Amyra looked around and she felt uncomfortable. She swerved around and glared at Xavier, "I can go alone from here. You should go back."Xavier instead of taking her words seriously suddenly held her hand. Until now she had been thinking that she would later give an excuse to everyone but now, it looked more like he was her boyfriend. Amyra was done for. After he left, everyone surrounded her asking so many questions. She got frustrated answering every one of them… * Two days later *Thanks to Xavier, now everyone in the law school knew that Mr Bryant was her boyfrien
Amyra kept looking at the man, he no longer had the mask on and that face of his, she remembered it very well. He looked not so different from how he used to look seven years ago. "It's really you…" she mumbled with cheerful eyes. He smiled at her and let out, "Hmm, it's really me." In happiness she hugged him and so did he. "Where have you been these past few years?" "Sorry, I can't tell you yet. It's a long story but now I'm here, everything will be ok. Daisy." He patted her back and asserted so. Amyra was so lost that she finally found him so she didn't notice what she was doing. Everyone took their photos and a pair of jealous eyes were looking at her. "Hmm, everything will be ok." She smiled. Lights fell on her eyes and only then she recollected what she was doing. Amyra quickly pulled herself away from him and looked around in search of someone. "What's wrong? Daisy." 'I am done for. I can't see him anywhere near, where is he?' Holding her hands as he was about to
Amyra in a hurry finally reached the hospital, she was short of breath and asked the doctor. "How is Mrs Cora now?" "She is a bit better now, but we have to be more careful." Hearing the familiar voice Amyra scowled in that direction and saw Allen. "Allen? What are you doing here?" "I came for a check-up and met Mrs Cora on the way." "Yes, it's because of Mr Allen that Mrs Cora could be saved at the right time or we couldn't imagine what would have happened to her…" The doctor asserted so. * Back to the mansion *The room was dreary, Xavier unhurriedly woken and strolling into the cloakroom he found the bed was empty. He had been pretending to be asleep and she had to leave… Ring! "Any news? Where is she?" He asked in a stuffy tone of voice. Jacob illustrated, "Mrs Bryant is now at GKC Hospital." "Hospital?" "Yes, it's where Mr Allen goes for check-ups every week." Hearing him he cut the call. When he heard her saying she didn't have anything to do with Allen, he wanted to b
"What did you say? He has another woman?" Chloe saw her best friend the happiest for the first time, she wished that happiness would last long but sadly, it was the opposite.Chloe with clenched fists finished drinking the coffee at once and putting the cup on the table she ordered one more again. She was in no mood to think of anything. "Yeah." Amyra's downward voice got her angrier than she already was. "You are his wife, how can he have another woman? Seriously, what is his problem?" Amyra saw that rebellious girl who used to react like this every time someone bullied her, Chloe wouldn't let her be unhappy for long. Life was never easy, doing part-time jobs and handling life problems she was probably more happy than now back then. At least she never felt a heartbreak like this before, not even when she found out about James and Mila. Since the day she got arrested, things seemed to work another way around for Amyra. Heaving a sigh gloomily, Amyra faked a smile on her face, "W
'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
