“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
'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
"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
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
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
