"What the hell is this!" He tossed the magazine on the table angrily and stood up from his chair. His pupils darkened and his fists were gripped.
Jacob glanced at the blonde who had been kneeling on the floor for nearly an hour by now. The look in her eyes could say it all that she was on the verge of passing out yet somehow holding it on. Even if she would black out, she would only find herself dead after waking up... Yes, in heaven or hell!
"Mr Bryant, I..." Her voice quivered as she tried sounding off.
"Get her out of my sight! Right now!"
Before she could finish off the line, she was dragged out of the glass room. Outside, Jacob helped her to stand up and the blonde looked at him with sombre eyes.
"Mr Lewis, I can't do this anymore. He is so uprightly rude. I bet no woman will ever tolerate his bad temper. Mr Bryant has some serious issues..."
She took some notches away as her eyes glistened with Jacob's raged ones. Everybody in the city knew that Jacob could never tolerate someone badmouthing his boss.
Xavier and Jacob grew up in the same house, he played with him and went to school with him and when someone bullied him, it was Xavier who beat them.
It was because of Xavier's grandparents that he could go to school, get to eat meals properly and have a safe place to live. He grew up well because of their help.
Jacob yanked the woman's wrist tight and put an envelope in her hand.
"Take this money and leave this city before you get killed for your fucking mouth."
"I..." Taking the money she made her way out of his sight.
Jacob sauntered inside the room. Xavier Bryant is known to be as Mr Bryant who was now standing by the window. His hands were placed in his pocket and his sleeves up.
"Mr Bryant, I have given them another call. They will soon find a woman..."
"Only a week."
"Got it."

Amyra
"I have to leave this house by tomorrow? But mom..."
Sanaeha shut her off as she pronounced with deep remorse. "Don't worry about the money, I will be sending you your living expenses every month. So you can live without any worries in the dormitory."
"But Mom, I don't want to leave. Why can't I live with my family? I came here just a week ago and you said I could live here then why all of a sudden..."
"We are not going to talk about this again. I have let you know my decision, you can only follow it not question me like this."
"I... I see. Can I ask something then?"
Sanaeha bobbed her head at Amyra's question. Letting out a sigh Amyra asked, "Is she also going to stay in the dormitory?"
"She is still young, you know she can't live without me. So..."
Sanaeha couldn't see Amyra anywhere. So she understood she left after getting her answer already. It hadn't been easy at all. Surely she didn't want it but she was not left with any choice so she could only push Amyra away.
'I am sorry, Amy. That's all I can do for you. I am really sorry.'

"I screamed, I cried, I told them the truth yet nobody believed me... Not even my own sister." ~ AmyraBuzz! "Hello...""Amy, save me. Please… please save me, Amy." Amyra Cassidy hastily stood up from the bed as soon as she heeded the familiar female panicked voice from the other side of the call.Not long ago she came back from her part-time job, she just laid her body relaxingly on the soft bed but the call got her freaked out."Where are you? Send me your location right now. I will…" The call was cut before Amyra could finish her sentence. She knew who it was, of course, it couldn't be someone else but her dear sister. Her name is Zenaya, they both belong to Cassidy but nothing between them is alike. Zenaya is one year younger than her, she likes to party, make new friends, go out with guys and do everything that Amyra hates to do.Despite her warning Zenaya to avoid making random guys friends that she just met once, she always does it. Amyra bet it was about a boy this time too

The Next DayThwack!All the photos were thrown on the glass table annoyedly, and the woman in her mid-forty looked dreadful.She bent down to collect them when a sharp male voice spoke up in a stuffy tone of voice."I said it already, do not send me photos of women. I will choose my bride myself."Everybody present there stared at each other for a moment before steadying themselves. A woman in her late fifties moved forward and announced in a gentle tone, "We know that you don't want us to find one for you. But so far you haven't shown us your girlfriend's photo. How can we know that you have a girlfriend? Xay."In the Bryant family, everyone called him 'Xay.'Xavier looked annoyed as he started loosening his neckties. He was so fed up."You know your grandpa will turn seventy this week. He wants to see you getting married before his birthday." The old woman heaved a sigh.That was Xavier Bryant. Even his family members would think twice before saying something. Nobody wanted to mak

"What… ""Someone wants to see you. Come with me." Amyra looked astounded as the guard just told her that someone came to meet her. She marvelled at who it could be.'Zen, or James? It must be James. He must have been worried about me so he came to see me.'Her face lit up at the thought of seeing her fiance. Yes, James Martin was her fiance. They were so in love.Since her younger age, she knew him. They were friends first, later James proposed to her and she accepted his proposal. Amyra was following the officer as she was told to.Everywhere she could see was darkness and nothing. It was giving her chilling feelings that she hated. All the prisoners were staring at her weirdly.But she could forget everything, just wanting to see her beloved ones could light up her face with a luminous smile.Sigh!The door opened, and her eyes were glinting. She got into the room while scowling at the guard genuinely. But just then all her smiles left her magnificent face.'Where is James? And w

Amyra was sitting on the chair the same way as this afternoon but this time she was not seen as some jailbird. Instead, as if she was some respected fugitive.Daniel, as he said, took care of everything there. He was still talking to the officers when Amyra was staring at the stars from the window.There were so many stars in the sky tonight. Strange! She couldn't be happier unlike before. Every time she would see stars she would be delighted but now… all her contentment was gone.Sigh!Ezra scowled at her, ensuring her that everything had been taken care of and she glanced at the police officers.Reaching out of the police station as she saw Chloe, she couldn't help but burst into tears.Amyra hastily ran into Chloe's arms and wrapped her arms around her tight."Chloe.""I am so sorry, Amy. I am such a failure, I couldn't help at all. Amy…" Chloe burst into tears.It was Chloe who told Amyra not to believe Zenaya like a fool and Amyra still believed her. Only if Amyra really could k

"I didn't kill them. Trust me, I didn't… Mom, Zen… No!!! Please don't go… Mom…"Screaming!Amyra shot her eyes opened as she sat on the bed, she was still sort of breathing, terrified.Between the sort sighs she wiped off the sweats over her forehead.In the dream she saw her mom and her sister, everything was scaring her, it became like a nightmare, haunting her…Amyra was still in a dilemma when suddenly light fell on her eyes as someone pulled the curtain in the room.The curtain moved and she looked at the woman who looked young but her forehead uttered that she was over 40 or something in touch."Good morning, Miss Cassidy. It's time for you to get ready. Mr Bryant will be here in an hour." The woman announced so in a hurry.Amyra looked a little surprised and confused. "Pardon?" As if she didn't understand what she was saying. The woman glared at her, not explaining to her."Mr Bryant… Mr Bryant… I have heard this name before. But where…" she mumbled."If you don't remember, the

"Have you given her the tab?""Yes, Mr Bryant."A man sitting on the chair, his broad shoulders facing Jacob was hitting his slender fingers on the table nonchalantly. The man turned around towards Jacob and asserted, "I don't want her to ruin things. Everything must be perfectly done, is that clear?""I got it, sir.""You may leave now."Jacob nodded his head and left as the man told him to.The man stood up and his face reflected in the mirror. Those exquisite features, he was indeed created with so much consideration.Xavier Bryant was waiting for his bride-to-be, at least meeting her to clear up some things was his reason but he waited for five minutes and she didn't come, he got so annoyed. He always hated people who were never punctual.When he thought of leaving, to his surprise he met her at a ten-minute distance and she dared to ask him for directions, was she kidding?He told Kim to make sure she took her here but Kim told him that she didn't want to come with her so he wait

"Mr Bryant, Miss Cassidy is here," With respect, Jacob reported to Xavier Bryant. Xavier took the glass of wine in his hand and looking into it he asked him in a calm tone, "What was her reaction when you told her that I would be here soon?"A little bit surprised, Jacob knew his boss was never interested in a woman's reactions but now… he was quite astonished though. "She seemed like… she didn't expect it and she didn't want to… uhmm…""I see." Instead of getting angry, Xavier smirked. Jacob didn't expect it though. He thought he would surely be angry or he wouldn't care…There were all kinds of men around at the party so women were. Amyra never met them before, she saw some of them on the television and some of them in magazines or the news to be said.Sigh!It had been half an hour since she was here. But none said anything to her, instead, she was standing in some place alone. She could see them from there but none could see her.Before vanishing into the crowd, Jacob told her t

"James…" Amyra mumbled, her feet moving along with her curiosity as her eyes followed the man she once recognised as her fiance.No, she was not wrong. It was him. She couldn't help but keep walking towards the crowd.In the middle of the couple's dancing, what was he doing?'It's…' there was the couple. She saw James with a woman, his hands were wrapped around her waist like a leech as he kept her body quite close to his. They were so lost in each other, dancing like there was no tomorrow.But how was it possible even? James said he loved her and even in future he would only love her then why was he dancing with a woman at the party as if they were a couple? James has always been caring and a good boyfriend but tonight, what colour he was showing... Amyra couldn't believe her eyes. Certainly, something hit her head. What has the world known about her? She was curious to know what Mr Bryant did so people didn't talk about her. The world couldn't be bought nor her close people, it 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
Xavier's Bride Ep 62: In the grasp of devil
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
Xavier's Bride Ep 61: Distant
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
Xavier's Bride Ep 60: The secret revealed
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
Xavier's Bride Ep 59: Be his forever
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
Xavier's Bride Ep 58: Dangerous attack
"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
Xavier's Bride Ep 57: 'Her husband has gone mad'
'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
