Alyia's POV."We're here to claim what's ours." She said that made me so confused. "Cherry!" The woman exclaimed that didn't make me stop staring at the girl. "I'm so sorry about that, Alyia." The woman added and paid her attention to me. I tried to smile but I can't do it without the awkwardness filling inside this room that we're currently at. "Uh? Miss Alyia really feels this uncomfortable when she has a visitor. Most especially when you're at her house. Can I know what brought you here, Ma'am?" Mira cut in whom saved me from that awkward moment that I was in. "Maybe it's really unusual but we're here to visit you, dear." The middle-aged woman said and smiled at me. "What for?" I asked briefly and straight to their faces. I know that I mustn't be this way but that girl got into my nerves quickly. I can still feel his glares to me that is really annoying me now. She's currently in my place, for goodness sake! Can't she realize that? At least pay respect since you're just visi
Alyia's POV. "You know? You're just hungry." I said to lessen the uncertain aura filling us now. I looked inside the bags and found the box where the chicken wings are in. I opened it after snatching it from Cosmos and took a piece of it. "Here. Have some." I said and quickly put the bit size chicken wings in Cosmos' mouth. He frowned which made me chuckle. He's joking a while ago, right? Of course, there's no way that what he said to you were all true, a voice answered me through my mind. "I'll just go get the rice and you! you must have the table ready when I finished getting us rice, got it?" I said to his face. He's still trying to finish chewing the piece of chicken inside him so he just gave me a salute, indicating that he understood. I gestured him that I got my eyes on him that just made her smile widely. The kind of smile that hides your eyes. He's really cute when he does that. Wait, what?! Cute who? No, he's not! He's still that annoying bodyguard that I met months
Cosmos' Point of View."Wait, I'll call someone to help us here," I mumbled to Debbie who is now scratching her head while staring at the car in front of us. "Yes, please. Call someone and also, check Madame Alyia inside. Thank you, Cole." She replied without removing her gaze to the car. We've been here for minutes already. The car suddenly stopped here at the parking lot of the building and we don't know why. I did check this car that we used now so I really don't know why this happened. "Ma'am, we'll call someone to help us. Hang in there." I said to the window assuming that Alyia would hear it. I walked away from there and tried to look for someone to pass by but when a minute passed and I still can't see anyone, I went back to the place where our car stopped. "Can't see anyone?" Debbie asked when she saw me walking towards her. "Yeah," I said and smiled awkwardly. "I'll just get my phone inside the car. Wait a minute." She said and walked into the car. While waiting, I le
Alyia's Point of View. "Here. You sure you're okay?" Cosmos said when he suddenly appeared in front of me holding a bottle of water. "I didn't ask for this and yes, I guess," I said and stared at him with a smile. "We're going to be with you. You understand that, right?" Cosmos said that made me stay my gaze to him for minutes. You can really see that he's telling the truth. That apologetic eyes, that weak smile. What have I done to have this guy with me? His eyes really show that he has been staying up late. I just noticed now that his eyebags thickened. Did they really do their best to find a way to bury this issue going around about me? "I'm sorry for causing you this trouble. I'm really sorry if I dragged you, Mira, and Debbie into this mess of mine." I said and bowed. As I bow my head out of shame because of what I did, I felt him caress my chin and held it for me to raise my gaze at him. We stared at each other for a while. His eyes, it's so deep. "Your eyes. It was yell
Alyia's Point of View. "What should we do now?" "I don't know either." I felt like opening my eyes but I heard whispers coming from different voices here. I tried to get up as much as I can but I was stopped by a pair of hands. "Hey, you're still not well, Ma'am. Lay down." It is Cosmos' voice that made me turn my back at him. "Madame, are you alright? You made us all worry! Is there anything you're feeling? Do you want water? I'll get downstairs. Wait." make Mira said without giving herself a pause before running towards the door. I heard her fast footsteps make noise on the stairs that made me shook my head. Why is she so worried? "Why are you all here?" I asked Debbie who is in front of me now.I raised my brows at her before I started to get up. When I can't feel an improvement on my body by getting up, I tried to use my hands as support but the pain was what I felt the moment I did try to get up. "Ugh ouch." I moaned when I felt pain from my hands."I told you to lay down
Alyia's Point of View. "It's raining. I'll go get the foods that we bought. You run into the car, Lyra." Cosmos said and got his distance away from me instantly. I saw him walk to where our foods are, I just stand still here. Frozen and can't process anything in my mind. Seconds passed, I felt like my hand sore because of the raindrops slowly getting inside my bandages that made me flinch and started to run towards the car. When I got in, Cosmos' gaze was the first one that caught my sight but I instantly avoided my gaze to meet his. "Take me home." I said before I leaned against my seat. I didn't hear him say anything but he started driving away from where we were. It's still raining outside so I can't open the window just like what I did when we were on our way to the ocean. I didn't bother to utter any word just like him. He didn't start any conversation with me so I just sat here silently. The drive to my condo was so long that I didn't notice that we are heading to it now
Cosmos' Point of View. "Are you sure she's going to be fine?" I heard Debbie said with her worried voice. "Who are we talking about here? It's Alyia, right? That girl may be so grumpy but her strength is unbelievable. I'm sure she'll be okay." I responded with a smile. "I'm just worried. The last talk we got isn't good. I regret asking her when I'm the first person she expects to believe her." She said with her eyes that's clearly shedding a tear anytime now. I was about to comfort her and say that everything is going to be alright but when the doctor from the emergency room came out, I immediately asked him about Alyia. "What happened, Doc? Is Alyia okay? Is she going to be okay? What happened inside? Can we see her now?" I asked him with worry visible in my voice."Okay. First, calm down. The patient is okay. She will be stable after we stitch her up. I suggest that negative things to distance her for now. She had so many suicidal thoughts in her and it's uncontrollable. Also,
Alyia's Point of View. I pushed him away, disregarding the pain that I'm feeling right now. My hands are so hurt that I can't just stand it but what I can't stand more was what I saw in Cosmos' eyes when he opened the door here. "Why did you do that?!" I exclaimed with my loudest voice to his face. "I'm sorry." He said and bowed his head but that wasn't enough for me to lessen the irritation inside me. "I can file a case against you because of what you did. You know that, right?" I asked him with a calm voice but my brows are still creased, showing how irritated I am towards him. "I'm really sorry." He said again that made me roll my eyes. I was about to say something again but an opening of the door stopped me from doing so. "Madame? What happened to Cole?" She asked me the moment she got inside the room. I don't know what to answer her so I let her roam around and when she saw Zekiel, I saw confusion through her face. "What the? Why is this guy here? Who gave him rights to
