Amira’s POV
I slowly opened my eyes and as I do that, I feel my head hurting to bad. It felt like it is pounding and my brain is trying to get out my head. I let go a heavy breath and tried to open my eyes completely. The first thing I saw is an unfamiliar place. I looked around and saw car parts and other, I guess, are junk parts of machines. Then I realized that I just woke up in an unfamiliar place.Where am I?
Then I felt like my arms cannot move. I looked at it and saw that I am tied up in a chair. My feet are tied up too. I can’t move.
I remembered what happened. Somebody got in our way and I hit my head because of Elexier’s sudden step on the break, and I passed out.
Remembering that made me scared. This place is dark, only the sunlight from a few windows are lighting the place. Am I alone? Where is Elexier? Is he okay? What happened when I passed out?

Elexiers POV I played with my glass of wine for a bit then drank to it as I watch the run rise from the balcony. Amira fell asleep after our conversation yesterday. She wants to die and I was so alarmed by it. She is suicidal now. God thing she ate dinner. She takes all the blame. I know she is angry to her father, but she is also feeling regrets for wasting her life believing her father is a good man. I kept on thinking what to do to her? I feel like she is somehow comfortable with me. Do we love each other then? But that's not the point here. I wonder in what way will I ever make her feel like she's not alone in her probably biggest battle in her life. It's not that time to prioritize romantic connection. All she needs to focus on now is herself. I'll help her of couse. But then I should also fix all the mess I have. My father's business and Mr. Lozano who hunts her. Us it the timet to cooperate with the cops? I turned my

Amira’s POV “Elexier, I really owe you a lot. Thank you for keeping me with you, for keeping me safe. If not because of you, I’ll be a dead body already.” I said then looked at Elexier. He looked at me with his soft eyes. He listens to me all the time. That’s what I need right now really. Somebody to talk to. I feel home with him. I don’t know why. I already feel comfortable with him. Maybe because no man have ever done these things he do to me before? He made me feel different feelings that I never thought I’d feel. He made me have different kinds of firsts. He’s my first kiss. I don’t know what to call it, so, my first romantic relationship I guess? No. Not really romantic. I guess, my first ever more-than-friends relationship. He’s my super hero too. I don’t know how many times he have already saved me. But I know it’s more than once. I smiled and shook my head at that. He is not my friend, I’m not also his. I don’t really know

Amira’s POV Elexier got out that room after roughly two hours. I was so bored the whole time but still so anxious. I don’t know what they’re all talking about there. I badly want to know . But I can’t. I stood up as soon as I saw Elexier and some police officers and General Santos with him. “What did you talk about? What happened?” I asked curiously at him as soon as he approached me. “We talked about everything Amira. All the things they have to know.” He said then smiled at me sweetly. It’s like he’s assuring me that I shouldn’t be nervous because everything will fall in to their places and everything will be alright. I smiled back at him. “General, before we go, we still want to discuss something. It’s her case. It’s different from mine.” Elexier said then the general nodded. He gestured us to his office and we followed him. When we got there, just like earlier, he g
