THIRD PERSON'S POV______________________________________________________________________________________ "Leo found me there." This was again a surprise to Xander. Her story was pitiful and it was nice that Leo found her again. He admit he felt bad on hearing her story but it didn't do much to melt his cold heart. He was here for his Triantáfyllo and he's only concerned about her. Maybe people will call him a heartless bastard and he's alright with that. But the only person who matters to him is his wife so he was patiently listening to her trying to find when will she finally tell him the cure to the poison currently infiltrating his wife's body. "What happened after that?" He asked. "The day after we reached here, Aakash had already given me poison. He convinced my parents that we are going on a vacation but only I knew the truth. He asked me to take a walk around the city not knowing that I had already spent my two precious years here. That day I ran into Leo. He was changed.
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ Flashback continues ; "Leo! Oh god! What happened? Are you injured? Why aren't you speaking anything? Is it something serious? Why are you sitting so sulkily here?"Were the words Abhishek spoke the moment he arrived at the hospital corridor. Leo gave him a slight glance before sighing with his head down. "What happened?" Abhishek repeated. He was in disbelief after giving his friend a once from head to toe. He could clearly see that Leo was completely alright, he wasn't injured anywhere so why is he here at the hospital? Leo still didn't say anything. "Is it one of your tricks just so you won't have to go hiking?" Abhishek pondered over it.Of course, that might be it or else why would Leo be here.As far as he knows Leo has no family right now, and besides him, he does not also have many friends.And even of something had happened to someone, he can't think of anyone who
THIRD PERSON'S POV_____________________________________________________________________________________ "Astra inclinant, sed non obligant" Traces of confusion appeared on Leo's face."What does it mean?" "Hmph! Dumbass! Didn't you study latin university? So don't you know what it means?" Abhishek harrumphed. "But it's alright. I'm a generous friend so I'll tell you what it means?" Leo was stunned. "How shameless can you be? A few seconds ago you were the one with pale face and now look at you...tsk tsk!" "Whatever! You still don't know what it means whereas I do." The brown eyed man proudly said while tilting his chin forward and pointing towards his chest. Leo stayed silent this time. Even if I say anything, this stupid idiot will only take up more of my time. Sigh! Abhishek didn't notice his friend's helpless sigh and continued."It's English translation is "The stars incline us, they do not bind us." The phrase means that although fate is determined by stars, gods or some

He had white streaks in his black hair and his face looked a bit aged but nonetheless, his eyes still looked cheerful and full of life. He was wearing a grey three piece suit with a black tie loosely hanging around his neck. He walked directly into the living room of the cottage.Roop saw him and they both smiled at each other."You came early, Abhishek." She joked with a small smile playing on her lips. "I heard what happened out there." Abhishek spoke solemnly. He had a serious expression on his face. He had known her for so long and he also knew that she was not able to let of of Leo's death, she still missed him terribly. But this had been the first time in years, that she had caused an outrage like today. She did not say anything in reply but just smiled somberly with her hair falli
THIRD PERSON'S POV___________________________________________How Scar felt during that one month unconscious;--------------------------------------------------------------Laying on the hospital bed, covered in white sheets, she was silent.

She didn't even know where she was.She was dreaming but it felt so real.Her eyes looked around her but as far as they could see, it was all darkness.

Everything was so freaking dark.She felt like she should do something. But what? What could she do? She had no idea about it.What could she do afterall when she didn't even know where she was or what was she doing in this
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ Xander was stunned in his place the moment he heard her speak.Without caring about anything else, he quickly clutched her hand tightly, not willing to let her go. He thought that if it's a dream then he would rather dream all his life than wake up. His fingers trembled slightly and his heart jumped in joy. His Triantáfyllo was awake!!!!! SHE WAS AWAKE! He couldn't stop saying this in his head.His lips curled up into a wide smile, the kind of smile never before seen on his cold face.His other hand went to her face to touch her. His big hand softly grazed her tender and slightly pale cheeks."Triantáfyllo, can you hear me? Are you awake, my love?" His voice was so tender and gentle and soft and low as if he did not want to disturb her but at the same time he wanted her to talk to him with her sweet voice. He couldn't think of anything else at this moment. The next second,
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ "Xander?"Her voice was utterly soft in the dead quiet of the dark night. Her lips parted softly as she exhaled and her warm breath brushed past Xander's ear. He felt his body unconsciously stiffen. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to touch his body and called his name in such a gentle voice. Hearing her calling him like that made his frustration from earlier on witnessing her with Lucas, disappear. Her voice soothed his agitated heart but still a bit of anxiety was left. He was anxious.What if she now decided to leave him? It was said that when a person experiences a life and death situation, a change appears in them.It was his fault that she was in such a condition this time so would she leave him now. On the contrary, Scarlett wasn't thinking about this at all. She felt a different sensation on seeing him so close to her.There was an apparent joy i
THIRD PERSON'S POV ___________________________________________ Caressing her hand through the soft black curls on his head, she sighed again. His hair were so soft to the touch that she wasn't able to take her hand off his head. And also, she loved caressing his hair so tenderly. It gave her a strange but warm feeling inside her heart as if something she had been looking for was finally here, finally with her. Her lips curved into a soft smile as she looked at him. Her gaze fell from his hair to his cheeks. He was sleeping soundly and his chest fell up and down with each breath he took. As he was sleeping on her, she felt her body vibrate with each movement of his. Her breath hitched every time it happened. She wanted to raise her hand and squish his cheeks to see if they were as smooth and flawless and they looked. Her gaze wondered around his peaceful countenance curiously. As she had never truly looked at him properly before, this was the first time she could look at him f
