"Mr Bryant? Are you ok?" The woman sitting opposite him asked Xavier. All the way he didn't talk to her and he seemed absolutely fine but as he started acting a bit different all of a sudden, she got worried. Xavier nodded his head absentmindedly and asserted in a significant tone, "Let's talk about the contract.""Sure." Going to dinner with Mr Bryant was more than 'a dream never come true' for every employee in the company and especially when it was her first day at work. Inconceivable! "Here, taste the new dish they made. It tastes delicious." Allen extended his fork towards Amyra with food. They seemed to be quite happy to spend some quality time together. On the other hand, the woman opposite Xavier was explaining things when suddenly he whacked on the table. Seeing his sudden raging behaviour she got frightened, "Is something wrong? Did I... Did I make a mistake? Mr Bryant." Xavier abruptly stood up, his face looking like an angry five year old kid as he uttered while kee
"Where are you going?" For two minutes straight Amyra had been striding out of the room and then back to the cloakroom. At first, he didn't mind but slowly it seemed strange. Xavier, confused, tried to understand what she was tryna do. Not getting a response from her he abruptly grabbed her hand, the pillow and blanket dropped from her hand. "I asked where are you going?" His eyes gazed at the things that fell from her hand. So she was planning to sleep outside?Amyra pulled herself away from his grip and picked up her pillow and the blanket back. "I am going to sleep in another room." "But your room is there." He pointed his finger towards the cloakroom. After coming back to the mansion, forget about talking to him, she didn't even look at him as if she wanted to ignore him at any cost. "It's not and I just want to sleep somewhere else, you got an issue with that?" Xavier felt resentment in her tone though. He smirked and sauntered before her, "Why do you want to sleep somewher
Looking at the mirror Amyra rinsed her face with the water. It felt like ice falling on her face. But she needed it to wake herself up. Swerving around she put her hands on the counter and tried calming down. The view from the wedding night kept playing before her eyes. Then again when she saw them together and the people were talking behind their back. 'You can kill it for your good. Just do it, just pretend like you... You don't care.' Amyra smiled brightly at the mirror and grabbed her purse, wanting to leave the washroom. As she was at the door Layla entered the washroom. Layla looked different from Amyra in most aspects. She was a model, they said. "You are Amyra right?" Layla asked her while doing her hair a little. Amyra halted hearing her. Seeing her silent, Layla uttered in a welcoming tone, "Xay has told me about you." 'Xay.' She never got a chance to call him that. Everytime someone called him 'Xay', she felt she was not close to him. "Oh, it's Xavier. I forgot he d
It was probably an hour later. Amyra didn't know the timing, she had been sitting on the couch for quite a long she guessed. Looking around she couldn't see anyone but only an empty place. "Where is Allen? He said I would feel better if I stayed here but he had been gone for quite a long time now. Where is he..." She looked at her phone and her eye vision got blurry. Amyra somehow stood up and looked for her purse. The place suddenly felt quite damp. "Allen, are you there? Where are you?" She stood up and started walking towards somewhere she had no idea about. The place was quite dimmed but she trusted Allen so she knew she wouldn't be in danger but where was she? Walking some inches Amyra suddenly felt someone close. She smiled in relief and asked, "Allen, where have you been? I was..." The man walked close to her and Amyra felt her head spinning. She couldn't keep her balance. "Allen, my head is spinning. Can you take me... Home please?" She walked another step and suddenly s
The Next Day "Ta-ra-ta-ra-ra." Amyra did her necktie and getting her backpack she strolled downstairs. She had talked with her friends in school that she would go to school earlier since they had some plans done before. They were going to a place today and Amyra was super excited about that. Amyra was walking towards the entrance when suddenly a not-so-familiar female voice ripped into her ears. "Oh, it's Miss Cassidy. Good morning, dear." Layla asserted with a smile. But it was not her smile that caught Amyra's attention, instead it was the person sitting next to her.Amyra smiled at her forcibly. She the least wanted to see her, especially in the early morning."Good morning, Miss... Ahh, I don't remember your surname."Hearing her, the corner of his lips curled into a smile before getting back to his cold self. With sharp eyes, Layla smirked at her angrily and looked at Xavier. "You can call me Mrs Bryant since I will be married to him soon." Her words hit her. Amyra didn't r
* Two days later *Tired as hell, Amyra sat on the sofa. She laid her body on the couch and took a deep sigh. These past two days, they treated her like a maiden. Layla and Kim as if they were the owner of the house. Amyra sometimes made coffee for Layla, sometimes she cooked for them and sometimes she protested but she couldn't do much against those two.On the other hand Xavier vanished in the air. He left two days ago without telling her anything and since then her life has changed for the worse. Amyra was more surprised when they told her that it was Xavier who told them to treat her not so specially. Amyra never imagined her life could turn up this way, unexpectedly tied. As her phone started ringing, Amyra held it near her ears. "Hello." "It's me, Chloe." Hearing Chloe's voice she felt relieved. She could finally relax and talk to her best friend. "How have you b..." Amyra was startled as suddenly someone snatched her phone from behind, turning around she saw Kim. Irritate
Layla smiled looking at drowning Amyra. She learnt that Amyra didn't know how to swim and that she was afraid of water. Slowly Amyra was drowning in water, she could barely keep her breathing steady. 'Save me, please. You said you would protect me.' Layla was still smiling when suddenly her smile faded and in no time she jumped into the pool. She screamed, "Please, someone save... Save me." She screamed at the top of her lungs. Xavier jumped into the water, Layla quickly wrapped her arms around him and he slowly pulled her towards the stairs. Amyra with a little strength, with a little hope was still breathing.Xavier helped Layla to get out of the water when Amyra was immersing deep in the water. 'Is this how you protect me...' "Where is Amyra?" He asked Layla worriedly. "She..." Layla mumbled. Xavier grabbed her arms angrily and asked again, "I asked where she is!" "She is..." Losing it, Xavier looked around, he couldn't see Amyra anywhere. He was losing his mind. "Amyra...
“Mr Bryant, Mrs Bryant has woken up.” Xavier put the conference call on hold as he heard Jacob report to him. He promptly trotted out of the room and ran towards his bedroom where she was sleeping. The doctor and nurses smiled seeing Xavier then they left the room. On the bed, Amyra was sitting, her head laying against the back of the bed and she was looking into the space when she seemed so numb. Xavier felt alive again, only he could tell how delighted he was at the moment. He ran here just to see her. From the door, he walked slowly towards the bed. Then he sat next to her. He couldn’t help but look at her face, her eyelashes and her eyes again. She looked pale and as if she lost weight. Holding her hand, he gently placed them between his hands. Amyra, feeling his touch, opened her eyes just to see him sitting next to her. There was no specific feeling in her heart for him except animosity and despair. “How are you feeling now?” he asked her in a worried and low tone of voice.
'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
