Amaira's POVWhen I woke up the next day I didn't find Dominic by my side. I searched for him in the bathroom, in his favorite work room but he was nowhere to be seen. In fact, he was not even at home and no one knew where he is. I didn't even try to search for him more. It is not like he tells me where he is going before going anywhere. Lady Catherine and Ava demanded that I stay here for a few more days, and I agreed on the condition that I stay in a separate room. So, after breakfast, I moved into the room next door to Ava's. Dominic's family is aware that something is wrong between me and Dominic, but they are unaware of the reality of our relationship, how it began, and under what terms I was staying with him. Neither of us wants to tell them. When I am will be fit enough to travel, I will return to my own country, and Dominic will be free to tell them whatever he wants. I don't give a damn!"Amaira" I turned around as I heard Austin calling me "How are you?" He inquired. I si
Amaira's POVI went straight to my room and was so restless that I decided to spend the rest of the day there. The servant arrived at my room to summon me for dinner, but I told him merely to bring the food to my room because I didn't want to talk to anyone. I am now feeling really lonely and miss my father badly. He was a really mature man, and I am confident that if he had been here, he would have solved half of my problems. I can't even express my anxiety with my mother because she has a heart problem and I don't want her to be stressed out unnecessarily, this would adversely affect her health making me even more restless. I tried to read books to pass the time because I wasn't sleepy and couldn't distract my mind. My thoughts kept returning to my father, and his agonizing screams were still echoing in my ears. I know I won't be able to find peace until I give him justice, but I can't have the resolve to take the case to court and put Dominic behind bars.I put the book down after
Amaira's POV Ava decided to have some fun outside the palace on my birthday as she was feeling bored inside. She decided to go on a picnic with her husband, Austin, and John. I initially refused, but after several requests, I agreed to come only on the condition that I prepare something on my own. I enjoy cooking but haven't cooked anything since moving here. Servants don't allow me to even go near the stove. Although I couldn't cook anything significant because of my broken arm, I could at least make sandwiches that are easy to make. Ava went to Dominic to ask if he wanted to join us, as she did every time after forcing me to accede to her will, and as expected he flatly refused.So I prepared the sandwiches for the five of us while a servant helped me in providing the required things. When I finished making the five sandwiches, I set them aside. My hair kept coming in front of my eyes, making it difficult for me to see properly, but I couldn't tuck it behind my ear since my finge
Amaira's POVHis lips then started moving down and was about to claim mine when we heard some sounds at the entry of the kitchen which made us snap our heads in its direction at the same time. Dominic groan in anger as he saw Austin standing there! "I came for water!" He croaked, his eyes moving at our bodies that were still attached to each other. I pushed Dominic away with my right hand as soon as I realized what was going on. He also understood that I was no longer at ease, so he took a step back on his own, creating a healthy distance between the two of us. Austin stepped forward, filled a glass of water, and began sipping it while Dominic gave him a deathly stare. He seemed to want to murder him with his eyes. He was waiting for him to leave so that he could continue from where he left, but Austin was drinking water slowly."Amaira!" Before Austin could leave Ava came in calling my name "how much more time will you take?" She asked, "you have to get ready as well!" She told m
Amaira's POVWhile the rest of the people followed us, Ava dragged me only God knows where. She shushed me every time I opened my lips to ask her a question. She always does this. She is as dominant as his brother. No one allows me to open my mouth when they want something. She stopped after reaching to a certain point. "Here is your surprise!" She pointed to a massive object hidden behind the fabric, and to my surprise, it started moving. Is there any human she has bought for me? "What?" My face furrowed as my gaze shifted to Ava. I wasn't interested in what she had brought for me. It was giving me creepy vibes. "Go ahead and remove the cloth," she ordered just like her brother "after all, it's your gift!" She displayed her pearly white teeth to me. I don't know why but her smile felt a little suspicious and the way she was talking I got a little alert. This girl is incredibly devious, and I can't believe her blindly. She is capable of doing anything at any time. She is the nau
Amaira's POVMy birthday went really well. Austin took all of us for a family dinner after we returned from the picnic, making my birthday extra special. When I said there was no need for all of this, he explained that taking everyone out serves two purposes. One is my birthday, and the other is that Christmas is tomorrow so he wanted all of us to spend time together. According to him, festivals are the reason for the family to spend time together. I was already wide awake, but I was too tired to walk down the stairs. My mind was just thinking about the last day i.e. my birthday and the way Dominic made it special for me. I don't have enough words to thank him. The loud banging on my room's door brought me out of my reverie and forced me out of bed. I opened it only to be attacked by John, my monkey!"Merry Christmas, Amy!" He wished me while hugging me tightly and moving our bodies together from here to there. "Merriest Christmas, John!" I smiled and hugged him back. "You know Amy
Amaira's POVAs we were about to get into the car, John screamed at the top of his lungs, startling me and my mom at our respective spots."DAD!"Our heads jerked in the direction of John, and our gazes followed the path of his gaze. As soon as we spotted the person at whom he was staring, the ground beneath us slid, our heads started spinning and our bodies froze in place. My mother had lost her balance and was about to fall, but I caught her just in time and assisted her in standing on her own."Anthony!" ... "Dad!" I and mother whispered at the same time. As we were standing really close so we could hear each other. Our feet began to move in the direction of the man standing on the opposite side of the road, to ensure that it was indeed our father and that we were not delusory. I wanted to sprint to him, but my feet wouldn't cooperate because my mind was still not ready to accept what my eyes were seeing. Although I wished for him to come back to me but I never expected him to meet
Amaira's POV"Where were you Anthony?" Mother's question grabbed our attention and our heads turned in her direction "why you stayed away from us for so many years?" She inquired further "how could you do this to us?" He released a puff and looked down. He appears to have felt bad for being away from his family even though he was alive. But now mother's emotions have subsided and I believe she is now in a mood to ask everything and take out all the complaints that she is burying inside herself for so many years. "You did not attempt to meet or see us. Did you ever think about us?" She began asking questions after questions, while mine and John's eyes were fixed on dad, who was getting pretty elderly.My eyes couldn't even blink since I was afraid he would vanish if I closed my eyes even for a millisecond. I finally got him after so many years, and my heart can't bear the thought of losing him again at any cost."Anthony, speak out! What were you doing and where were you?" She asked
