Chapter: PRIMARY COLORSAMARIS POV“It’s the least I can do.”The moment I said those words, Amoria turned and left with a smile on her face, leaving me in a destabilised state.I almost killed my own sister?What kind of being was I?I came out of the bathroom, suddenly losing the urge to do anything.After cleaning my body and getting dressed, I lay sideways on the bed, staring at the window.The sun went down in the blink of an eye, while Amoria sent a maid to inform me of the location and time.Sluggishly, I pulled myself up from the bed before coming outside to look for Zevian.When I asked another maid, she informed me of his whereabouts, so I headed in the direction of his room.When I arrived, I took a deep breath before knocking gently on the door.“Busy,” his voice sounded from behind the door.“Hey, I wanted to talk to you, but since you’re busy, I’ll go,” I mumbled, turning to leave. But just before I could, the door flew open.“No need for the cutesy act. The door is always open for you.”“Oh.”

Chapter: BUTTERFLIESAMARIS POVThe kiss was short, as I pushed Ethan back.I turned away bashfully. “I think it’s time you go to your room.”“Are you chasing me out?” he said, licking his lips.“Yes! Now go,” I muttered, pushing him towards the door before slamming it in his face.My fingers flew to my lips, still in disbelief at what had happened.I rushed to the bathroom, sinking into the tub to avoid letting my thoughts dwell on the kiss.I shouldn’t be this bashful, right?I was literally carrying that man’s child.But then again, I tried searching for that familiar butterfly that always found its way into my stomach whenever Zevian was around. Even if he wasn’t doing anything in particular and was just staring at me, the butterflies always found a way to make me notice their presence.But why weren’t they here?I dipped my head into the water, allowing it to swallow the sounds of the world.But something felt strange as I sensed a presence hovering above me. Quickly, I brought my head above the wate

Chapter: XANDYAMARIS POV I rushed away from Ethan’s side to grab the puppy from Zevian’s hands. “So cute!” I squealed. “Is this why you left the hospital?” I asked with a pout. “No… I initially left because I was sick of both of you and your little display of affection. But then I remembered I could give a much better gift than that ugly-looking goat toy.” “Ai! You didn’t have to,” I muttered, even though I didn’t mean it. I’d take this surprise over and over again. “Thank you,” I mumbled as I played with the cute little puppy. “I’ll name him…” I thought hard for a while, staring at the ceiling as if a name would magically appear in my head. “Ooh… I like Alexander. Xandy for short.” I chuckled at how quickly the name came to my mind. But I noticed that the moment the name fell out of my mouth, Zevian’s expression froze as he stared intently at me. “Why that name?” he asked. “I don’t know. It just resonates well with me, and it’s handsome, just like the puppy.” “It’s an ugly name. I want

Chapter: IT’S THE THOUGHTS THAT COUNTAMARIS POV“Hey, wake up,” a voice echoed inside my head.“No. Leave,” I grumbled as I turned, attempting to move away from the source of the noise.“Go away,” I grumbled.“I guess I’ll just have it all to myself, then,” the voice muttered.Have what to themselves?Curiously, I opened my eyes to find Zevian seated on the edge of the bed with a tray of food in his hands.A yawn escaped my lips as I sat upright.“Since when do hospitals prepare such lavish meals?” I asked after taking in the food on the tray.“I don’t know. Probably to give their patients enough nutrients so they won’t keep coming back here,” he explained as he placed the tray between us.“Bad press, then. This is doing the exact opposite because, with a meal like this, I’d make sure I kept coming to the hospital just to have free and lovely meals,” I muttered, grabbing the spoon.“Of course you would. Not everyone is as greedy as you are.”Zevian grabbed the spoon before I could. “I’ll help you.”I sat there, still in

Chapter: MISS YOUAMARIS POV“Petal… are you admitting you feel safe around me?”“You… you!” I pointed a finger at him, having no idea what to tell this man.“It feels nice, though. I promise, I no longer have any intention of paralyzing you, so could we go back to the time when you felt safe around me?” He grinned.Okay, I think I know the reason for my emotional stress, mental stress, frustration, and anxiety. This man was at the top of that list.“No,” I mumbled, adjusting on the bed.“If you do, I’ll take you to see your favorite actress,” Zevian said, nudging me to lie back down.I was about to jump for joy when I realized he’d mentioned an actress.“Why not my favorite actor?” I asked, finding it suspicious.“No. Unless you want me to break both of his lower limbs.” He blinked as if that were a perfectly normal thing to say.“You really are something else,” I muttered before lying back down.Zevian’s hand moved to draw me closer, resting on my stomach.“I hope your babies look as beautiful as yo

Chapter: I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE AROUND YOUAMARIS POV"See, I told you your baby is in for a surprise," Zevian whispered in my ear.I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for long, and when I finally did, I glanced at Zevian. I wrapped my hands around his neck, holding him in a tight hug."Thank you," I snuggled in further."Anything for you, petal," his hand caressed my back gently.The sound of the doctor's awkward coughing made me remove my hands from Zevian to look back at him. The doctor had a sheepish smile on his face."It's a boy and a girl," he said.I glanced back at the monitor, feeling nothing but tremendous joy bubbling in my chest."Can I have the image? So I could show the father?" I asked.The apparent shock on the doctor's face was visible as his gaze trailed from mine to Zevian and back to mine."He's my brother-in-law," I mumbled, feeling embarrassed for some reason."Okay, no problem, ma'am. You'll get it before your discharge tomorrow. You can return to your ward whenever. You can press the button on your

Chapter: CHAPTER 15NAIDIRA POV “Miss, are you okay?” Daniel asked, worry etched in his voice. But the ache had disappeared as quickly as it came, leaving only a dull sensation in my head. “Yeah, I’m fine,” I mumbled. “I’m sorry for the mess.”“It’s no problem, I’ll clean it. Just get some rest,” he cooed, then rushed inside to pack another meal for me.“Thank you, " I muttered before leaving. My blood sugar must really be low, I thought to myself I pulled the door to my office open, grateful to find it free of Julie. I wasn’t sharing my food with anyone.When I finished eating, I rested my head for a few minutes before a knock on the door woke me. Simon strolled in with an air of arrogance around him. He took a glance at my face, a puzzled look crossing his, but he shook it off and stood at the edge of my desk. “Your proposal has been approved. I’ve set up a virtual meeting with the fabric supplier for you, as I know you wouldn’t have done it anytime soon.”The audacity. I glared at Simon. You

Chapter: CHAPTER 14NAIDIRA POVJulie’s hair came into view as she was already on Orion’s back, trying to strangle him. Quickly, I rushed to separate my crazy friend before a murder case was pinned on me. Orion looked confused, but he didn’t do anything to Julie aside holding her hands, preventing them from gripping his neck. I dragged Julie away from him, and I could have sworn I saw steam coming out of her nose. Once she was away from him, Orion gave me a quick glance, then left. “What was he doing here? Did he hurt you?” Julie asked, scanning my body, but her eyes widened when her scrutinizing gaze reached my neck. “Naidira freaking Thornton, what is this my eyes are beholding?”My hands flew to my neck, trying to feel whatever she was staring at. “What?”“There are hickeys all over your body!” She screamed, then collapsed on the ground. “My best friend is no longer the virgin mute! I want my mute back!” I had an inkling of what a stranger might think if they came across such a scene. Why was sh

Chapter: CHAPTER 13NAIDIRA POV“Come back with me.” A voice echoed beside me. A low grumbling sound escaped my lips as I turned to the other side of the bed, where fewer sun rays tried to pry through my closed eyelids. “Come back with me,” the voice repeated, firmer this time. My eyes flew open as I was about to protest the unruly disturbance, only to be met with a muscular body inches away from my face. Okay…this was a sight for sore eyes. My mouth watered—but then the question clicked in my head. Since when did Julie become this masculine? My eyes widened as I slowly trailed up the firm muscles, my heart thudding against my chest with each passing second. Then it finally landed on him…An uncontrollable high-pitched scream broke out from my lips. He quickly covered my mouth, startled by my reaction, but my teeth were faster, as they dug into his palm. Orion winced and pulled his hand away. Images of last night flooded my mind as embarrassment washed over my entire body. Now I understood what

Chapter: CHAPTER 12NAIDIRA POVHis words rang in my head, sending a continuous wave of electricity down my legs to the point where I had to hold the counter for support.Orion’s hand gently grabbed mine, peeling it away from the wet patches. “Don’t hide from me,” he said, and somehow I felt his words held another meaning. His hands brushed against my face, then my cheeks, caressing them softly. His eyes searched mine for any sign of inhibition, and when he saw I couldn’t muster any, he growled, a guttural sound that ignited something within me, unleashing something I couldn’t control. Before I could register what was happening, my lips crashed onto his in a fierce, uninhibited kiss—nothing like the timid one I had given him before. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his hand gripped my thighs, hoisting me up. My legs wrapped around his hips while my arms circled his neck for support. Orion briskly made his way out of the kitchen, locating my room before turning the doorknob with his free hand without b

Chapter: CHAPTER 11NAIDIRA POVI blinked rapidly. I wasn’t consumed by the taste of his soft lips, which carried the lingering scent of the wine, but by the suddenness of his action. Orion halted the movement of his lips against mine, probably realizing that I wasn’t reciprocating. He drew back, leaving a small distance between us. A distance not enough for my head to think straight.“You want me to stop?” He asked. Did I?That was a question that I couldn’t answer. I could blame the wine I ordered for this, but goodness knows a part of me screamed for it… screamed for his touch. Orion drew back further, and the loss of contact made my chest twist in hurt. “I’ll give you time to think about what I said,” he said. But just before he could turn, I crashed my lips onto his in a timid yet bold attempt to kiss him—completely ignoring everything I stood for.Orion's face flashed with what felt like disbelief. Then the intensity of his burning gaze increased a hundred fold. One that made my legs weaken.
