Nikki's POV
"Calm down sir! You have to understand that we are not God. You making a fuss will not help in any way" the doctor said "we will try our best to save his life and we can't say anything for now as he has already lost a lot of blood! Pray for him"
No!
Saying this doctor walked into the operation theater while Luciano helped me in sitting on the bench lying in the corner.
Soon the operation started while Luciano completed all the formalities. After a few minutes, he left me alone only to return with a dress.
"Clean yourself and change your dress," he said looking at my blood stained clothes.
Although I wasn't having that much energy yet I did as he said as people passing me were looking at me as if I am an alien. I sat again on the bench while Luciano kept on walking back and forth. He was looking very tense which showed that he is very much concerned about his boss. For him, Xaphan is his family.
Nikki's POVIt seems like in the desperation of running away from him, I have ended up getting chained to him!Luciano turned at his place when he realized that I am not following him."What happened?" He asked."I am not going anywhere" I declared."What?""Hmm" my eyes closed and head nodded "I want to go back to my country, my India and it will take you days to drop me there and come back here, till then there would be no one to look after Xaphan as we don't know anyone here and we can't trust the doctors, you know" I shrugged my shoulders "Moreover it is him who promised me to give me freedom and leave me wherever I want to go if I succeed in the plan so now it is him who is going to drop me to my country" I took a sharp breath and paused to give him few seconds to discern my words "And my heart isn't allowing me to leave him alone when he is lying on the hospital bed just because of me" I confessed.&n
Nikki's POVI stirred in my sleep as the bed beside me dipped. My eyes flicker open and adjusted to the light as the sound of chirping of birds filled my ears.I stretched my body but stopped abruptly when I realized that I am in Xaphan's room and I am lying in his bed all alone.The memories of last night came running to my head. As far as I could remember I slept while sitting in Indian style than who made me lay on the bed?I was still in my thoughts when I heard the bathroom door opened and Xaphan emerged out of it in his beastly glory, blessing my eyes with one of the best morning view."Your snorts didn't let me sleep the whole night!" His taunt snapped me out of my trance. Really? As far as I know, I don't snorts."Than why did you made me lay on the bed. You could have woken me up and asked me to leave the room?" I asked with cocked eyebrows.I wouldn't have mind if he had done
Nikki's POVAfter bathing him, I helped him with the clothes before going to take shower. After coming out of the tub he didn't show any tantrums and wore his clothes as quickly as possible and I am sure he did that because he was concerned about me as I was shivering with a cold due to my drenched clothes and wet body.He then asked me to change my clothes and told me that he could comb his hair on his own.When I came out of the bathroom I found him sitting on the bed his t-shirt was lying beside him, except that he was all dressed up and was looking ready for the walk. This brought a smile to my lips.I walked to him and without any instructions helped him in wearing the t-shirt.He cocked his eyebrow asking me for the reason for smiling so idiotically. I shook my head and he tilted his head, asking me to get ready quickly.Although we are together for the last few days only yet surprisingly we have bec
Nikki's POVWith a heavy heart, I gave the puppy back to its owner. I wanted to hold it even more as it was very soft and delicate yet I couldn't keep it with me forever as it wasn't mine. I will surely have one pomeranian when I will get the chance to buy one.I was about to turn and look at Xaphan when I saw a little girl crossing the road alone. She was looking nearly three years old and was running on the streets blindly. I was fine until I saw a truck coming in her direction at full speed.My eyes widened and without thinking about the consequences I sprinted towards her to save her life. I lifted her as soon as I reached her and a loud shriek left my mouth when I saw the truck dangerously close to us. I could see from the glass that the driver was trying his best to stop the truck but it seems like the breaks aren't working.I on my part kept standing there, looking for some miracle to happen. My brain stopped working, my bod
Nikki's POVAlthough it was a minor cut yet it was paining a lot, Xaphan became more concerned about my injury and made it bigger than it actually was. But I loved the way he dressed my wound and kissed over it at the request of the little girl. It actually felt like my wound has cured the moment his lips touched it.I don't know why I have started liking the acts that once I thought to be foolish and childish.My heart tugged when Luciano called us a perfect family. My brain immediately started creating scenarios of our future and to my surprise, it felt good to my heart.Our happy little moment was disturbed by the entry of a couple, which caught our attention."Elena" Xaphan barely whispered but my ears caught it because this is not the first he is chanting her name."Xaphan," she said with equal confusion."Mumma...." the girl squealed in Xaphan's lap.We stood at our respecti
Nikki's POVWhen Luciano and Xaphan left me alone, I sat on the couch in the living room and kept on waiting for their return. My head was filled with many thoughts and my brain was not ready to stop overthinking. It became very hard for me to cut the time.My head snapped in the direction of the door and I instantly stood up when I saw Luciano and Xaphan entering the hall. Xaphan's legs were wobbling and Luciano was giving him full support to help him in walking.I ran to him and gave my shoulder to Xaphan. He was drunk heavily. He couldn't even walk properly. He has also removed the bandage wrapped over his arm and I am sure he has done this in anger. The first thing he needs to learn is to control his rage.With much difficulty I and Luciano took him to his room and made him lie on the bed, he turned and lay on his stomach, released a loud animal grunt, and closed his eyes in frustration.Luciano gave me a look befo
Nikki's POV"I accept that you still kill people but somewhere my heart is not ready to accept that you are the same Xaphan!" I whispered.He blinked and moved his face away. He closed his eyes, he wasn't ready to open up yet."Xaphan please" I requested, trying my luck one more time."Hmm," he nodded "I was so into the mafia world that it wasn't easy for me to come out of that" he finally resumed his story "My name was enough to threaten people and many used to pee in their pants with my mere presence. So I decided to let the things go on just like that and use this threat to scare evil people!"He took a deep breath and again concentrated on the front wall, which seems like his favorite thing now."After Raphael liberated me, I was still killing people but they are those who were teasing innocent people and police were not able to help them. And all this time I was consoling myself that by doing this I a
Nikki's POVWhen I came out I found we are back in our country. Looking at his cold behavior I thought that he is going to land the jet directly on the terrace of my house.I am thankful to God that I was not right this time!Xaphan was busy on his phone, his back was facing me while I on my part wasn't getting what should I do next so I stayed at my place until I didn't get the order from him "Follow me!"My steps immediately started following his order. As soon as we got into the car the wheels started rolling over the road. My head was filled with so many thoughts, I wasn't clear where is he taking me.I wanted to ask him but couldn't gather enough courage to do the same.Earlier I just wanted to get away from him as far as possible but now my heart is sinking whenever I am thinking about leaving him.I looked up when the car stopped with a loud screech and found that he has took me to my s
