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.
* In the evening *"Kanat told me he would pick me up at sharp 6, why is he not here yet?" Standing outside the hospital Chloe looked at her phone screen and then at her surroundings. Tonight's weather was not so friendly, it was cold outside. Chloe had bought a gift for her boyfriend, Kanat and she wanted to give it to him. That's why she was excited but Kanat was nowhere to be seen. She didn't bring her car with her today so she was standing there in case she would get on the bus. Tottle! Tottle! Hearing a car horn sound Chloe looked in that direction and her lips curled into a smile. "Ezz?" Ezra walked out of the car smiling at her. "It's cold outside, get in the car." He took her bag from her hand and put it inside the car then held the car door for her. "Do you know where I am going?" "No." Ezra smiled cheekily while rubbing the back of his head. Chloe found it cute, she felt like looking at him forever. Finding herself embarrassed, Chloe looked away. "I was going to meet
"Please, please let me go! Please, I beg..." Things were scattered here and there on the floor, two maidens were lying unconscious on the ground as well. Layla was kneeling on her knees. Her hands were crossed and her head was bowed down. "You thought you could run away after what you did?" Layla continuously nodded her head in disagreement and mumbled in fear, "I am sorry. I didn't know what to do. Please let me go." Men were standing in a row in the living room, and every one of them had a gun with them. Layla didn't dare to look around in fear, she couldn't stop getting frightened. "Please Xay, I will leave this city. I will leave this country if you want but please don't..." Xavier who was sitting on the couch having both his legs crossed chuckled as he heard her begging. He sat still and uttered, sounding cold, "And?" Layla looked at the men who were his bodyguards then at her luggage. She wiped off her tears and begged him, "And never show up before your eyes. I promise.
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
