Amaira's POVAs soon as we climbed the stairs, Christian's shrill screaming voice died. The fact that it was long and loud scared us and increased our heartbeats to another level. "My son!" Stella cried out before speeding up. "I should never have come here; God knows what he did to my baby!" She burst into tears. Her tone indicated that she was acting, which seems like overacting. But none of us paid attention to her and kept running towards Christian. Before we could blame anyone, we wanted to make sure he was okay, this was our first and utmost priority. When we entered the room, our bodies froze in place. Christian was sitting in the tub, fully surrounded by various types of toys. He was jumping, gleaming, and appeared to be the happiest kid on Earth. "Are you fine, Christ?" Asked Lady Catherine as soon as she saw him. "Yes, I am perfectly fine" he replied showing us his pearl white teeth. "Then why did you scream?" Stella yelled at him and twisted his ear painfully. "Ahhh,
Amaira's POV"There's only one place he could possibly hide now!" my brows knitted in confusion "After all, he is my son, and I am sure I will find him only there!" Dominic said this before running in a specific direction, and I followed him like an idiot!"How could you be so certain, Dominic?" I inquired while running behind him, inhaling deep breaths. "Because I used to hide in the same place as a kid and no one ever caught me. He is my son, and I am confident that his mind functions similarly to mine. I am sure he will be only there!" He said this while running in that direction.He kept running, and I kept following him. I had no idea where he was taking me; all I knew was that he would eventually find his son. When he came across a large tin, his feet came to a halt. He smirked as he looked at the tin with his hands on his waist."I tracked him down!" My brows knitted in confusion as he said those words. He took two more steps to eat the space between himself and the tin, the
Amaira's POVWe came out after Christian discovered us hiding between those walls. Dominic was upset because he couldn't get what he wanted, and Austin was also upset for some other reasons. He was looking pissed off and he stated that he no longer wanted to play hide and seek because it was no longer enjoyable for him. So we decided to play catch the ball, which we did until Christian became completely tired and exhausted. When he became tired, he informed us that he was going to sleep and that we would resume playing in the evening. We did as he said as Austin and Dominic also had some important work to do. Christian did not appear at lunch as well, and his mother informed us that he is sleeping and that she will feed him once he awakens.After lunch, Dominic went to do some work, Lady Catherine went to nap, and Austin went into his room. I didn't know what to do next, so I decided to do my favorite task and began reading books to pass the time and escape this world completely. Aft
Amaira's POV After cooking the pasta, I served it on two plates, but Christian requested that it be served on the same plate as he wanted to share it with me. So as per his request, I put it on a plate, grabbed a fork, slid him down the aisle, and exited the kitchen to feed him in the living room. "You are not going to tell my mother, na?" He confirmed from me again before going for the food, and I nodded in assurance. I forced him to sit on the couch but as soon as I sat beside him, he jumped on my lap. My arm snaked around his little body to make him sit securely while I took the plate from the other hand. He couldn't restrain himself because he was hungry, so he attacked the meal. I was sure that the pasta was hot and could burn his tongue, and I realized the same when he began winning. I blew over the morsel as soon as he opened his mouth as it was burning his tongue. He swallowed it down anyhow, bringing out his searing tongue."Easy, baby, easy!" As I brought him a glass of c
Amaira's POV"Dominic?" I whispered. His steps slowed as he approached us, his gaze shifting between me and his son, and a wide smile formed on his lips looking both of us together, happily playing and talking. He was overjoyed to see me conversing with his son, and I am sure he hadn't heard what we were saying before. He seems to come just now.As Dominic approached, Christian tightened his grip on my shirt and shifted deeper into me, getting scared of Dominic. When I kissed his head, he looked up at me. I looked him in the eyes, reminding him of what I had told him earlier, asking him not to be scared like that. He took a deep breath, and his grip on my shirt loosened.Looking at this minor change in the baby, my heart sank. "How are you doing?" Dominic's question prompted me to turn my head in his direction. I just nodded in assurance. He then bent down to come to the level of his son. "How about you?" He inquired of Christian, but he did not respond. He just stared at him blan
Amaira's POVI became agitated after Stella asked Dominic to make his final decision before the ball. I am not sure why, but whenever I think of Dominic staying with someone, my heart aches. Now I couldn't even imagine him with anyone else. I was just pacing back and forth in my room, taking deep breaths and trying to stay calm. I shouldn't be feeling this way about him. I really shouldn't be!When I heard a gentle knock on the door of my room, I turned on my heels. I assumed it was Dominic, but it was actually my mother and John."What happened," Mom inquired as she saw me closing my eyes in a little bit of disappointment "were you expecting someone else?""No, mom," I said, clearing my throat, "it's not like that. Please come in!"They entered at my request."Regardless of how old you get. You can't lie to me, Amy," my mother said, and my eyes, which always speak the truth, trailed down. "No, mom!" I exhaled a sigh "Why should I bother waiting for him? Have you not heard Stella?"
Amaira's POVThe week passed in a blur, and I had no idea what had happened. My arm is now better than before, so the doctor removed the plaster but has asked me to take the medicines on time as it hasn't recovered fully. I could move it, but I couldn't use it to lift heavy objects. However, I have had a fever and stomach pains for the past few days.I had been doing everything I could to avoid Dominic as much as possible. He appears to want to talk to me at times, but I used to flee whenever I felt alone with him. But the thing that has surprised me is that he has never attempted to enter my room. I believe that if he came to talk to me, I would lose control of my emotions. Stella is keeping a hawk-eye on us and finding an excuse to separate Dominic from his son. Austin has approached me several times since then, asking for my decision. Yes, I am certain that I want Dominic to stay with his son, but I am not in the mood to pretend to be his girlfriend of Austin to do so. I am not su
Amaira's POVI was deep in my thoughts when I felt movement behind me, which jolted me out of my reverie.When I turned around, Dominic was standing there. The moonlight was falling on his otherwise flawless face making it glow even more but he was looking sad and depressed. We kept staring into each other's eyes for a longer period because there was silence and stillness around us. He appeared to be complaining through his eyes. Even though he has his son back after a three-year search, he does not appear to be completely happy and content. Neither of us was prepared to blink. Our world appears to have come to a halt in the present moment, and we refuse to let go of it.I blinked and looked down when I realized what we were doing. I can't stare into his eyes longer otherwise I will get drowned in them. "How come you lied to my family at the dinner table?" He inquired, breaking the ice-cold silence."Lie?" My head snapped up at him, and my eyes narrowed "You forced me to come here ju
