Shadow Chapter 21: Aftermath
Amari POV:Waking up startled and not knowing where I am, my eyes land on a silhouette. I let out a scream when it stood up"You're safe Amari, don't worry I got you, sweetheart," he says nearing me. He sits on the edge of the bed by my feet. It's a man. Bringing my legs closer to my chest I look around one more time. I don't recognize this room it smells like a man's room"What's happening....where am I," I ask him. His jaw twitches and he tries to reach for my hand but I pull away. Who is he and why does he keep trying to touch me"Sweetheart, you have been in a mini coma for 3 weeks," he says looking worried. Coma for 3 weeks what the hell happened and where's my mom"Okay but who are you" I cautiously say not wanting to offend him since he clearly knows me"Sweetheart it's me, S-Xavier" he stumbles on his words. Looking at his body language his all tense"Am I supposed to know who you are" I raise my eyebrow at him. He blows out a breath whilst running his hands through his hair"
Shadow Chapter 22: Mirror
Daniel POV:She jumps out of the water and wraps herself in a towel"Amari where are you going" I ask puzzled"Shadow would never do and if he did he had his reasons," she says walking out of the bathroom. I follow her into her closet"Amari, are you serious right now, no, I tell you that Shadow ruined your childhood and you find a way to defend him?"I scoffed. What the fuck is happening maybe she didn't hear me right"Sometimes love has sacrifices and if that means I have to sacrifice my childhood again just to be with him I would" she barks at me. Stunned I just stare at her, going back into the bathroom I grab my suit jacket. Marching to the door I swing it open and pause"Sometimes I tell myself that I can save you from all this bullshit but Shadow was right you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved"I sigh shaking my head "Come to think of it...you guys are perfect for each other. This world was really meant for you unlike me I was born into it. Not exactly my choice b
Shadow Chapter 23: Sorry
Shadow POV:Walking towards Amari's room I find Daniel walking out whilst buttoning his shirt."Before I jump to conclusions what the fuck where you doing in there" I whisper yell at him"I know how it looks but it's not the case, she had a mental breakdown yesterday and I was here helping her as you requested" he states walking awayWalking into her room I find her still asleep. Going towards her I gently remove the corner of her duvet. She quickly realizes that she's completely naked and the only piece of clothing on her is Daniel's suit jacket. I turn around to leave and then I feel her grab my arm"He didn't do anything, he slept on the couch and I slept here" she whispers but that doesn't justify anything right now. Going towards her I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. I realize that her hair is shorter"You cut your hair?" I question her and she swats my hand away. She sits up slightly moving away from me."I did," she says tucking both sides behind her hair. Before it w
Shadow Chapter 24: Training
Amari POV:We've been sitting in my room talking for who knows how long. I'm just glad that we are having an opportunity to just talk. I’m mad not so much since we aired it all out"I still can't believe you like choc-mint ice cream," I say chucking a pillow at him and he catches it"It was all my mother ever bought so I learned to love it but you sweetheart like vanilla which is very boring if I must say" he smirks as he shrugs"Not really cause with vanilla you can turn it into any flavor you feel like and that is amazing to me," I say falling back into my bed. Feeling contentment for the first time in a while I turn to him"Xavier" I whisper out"Don't push it" he says warningly"My bad, Shadow," I say rephrasing it"Yes sweetheart""I still know nothing about you or your childhood I just know the basics like your favorite book is The Laws of Power, your favorite ice cream is choc-mint, you love your mafia and you like me," I say resting my head on my arm facing him completely"Ah
Shadow Chapter 25: Warehouse 233
Amari POV:It's been 36 hours of doing nonstop training and Shadow said the reason I'm controllable now and I quote is because "now I know the truth". I guess it helps but it hurts turning into 'obsidian' Well that's what the men here call me behind Shadow's back cause my eyes turn pitch black"Amari are you ready" one of the men says as they knock on my door"Yeah uhm I just need a second" I shout back.I don't even know if I'm wearing this suit correctly but at least it's on. Putting my earpiece on I go towards the mirror and I must say I look so badass. Now I know what it feels like to be one of those action movie characters. This is exciting as much as I am shitting myself but that's not how winners talkI've been hanging out with these men way too muchWalking out I'm greeted by people shoving guns into their gears."Amari, Boss wants to see you," one of the men says and I nod. Going towards Shadow's office I stand in front of his door. Breathing in and out I knock on the door"C
Shadow Chapter 26: Your okay
Shadow POV:Pushing the door open I see Daniel moving closer to Amari as she takes a step back. She mouths something to him and then she loses her balance. Feeling my world collapse as I see her fall off the ledge I run towards her trying by all means to catch her "Fuck" I whisper as I jump offI shoot the grappling hook and it hooks onto the ledge of the building next to this one. Looking down I make eye contact with Amari. Everything around us goes silent the only thing that matters right now is getting to her. Sudden fear appears in her eyes and she stretches her hand out for me. Looking down we are nearing the ground we are probably 500m high.Reaching her hand I grab it and pull her to my chest. The rope stops mid-air and I swing us into the windows of a buildingCrashing through the glass window I do my best to cover her. We crash onto the floor and we topple over a couple of times. My back hits the floor and Amari flings out of my arms.Getting up my bones ache from the impa

~~~~~~5 months later~~~~~Amari POV:"We are almost there I promise," Shadow says as he guides me through some walkway"Okay, but why do I need to be blindfolded" I giggle as I hold onto his hand."Almost there," he says as we go a bit further. Feeling him halt I start getting nervous all of a sudden"Is this the part where I find out you're a murderer and I'm your last victim?" I say and he grabs my waist pulling me towards him. Getting butterflies in my stomach I start to nervously giggle"Trust me sweetheart if I wanted you dead I would have done it already" he kisses the back of my head"Are you ready" he grabs the blindfold getting ready to untie it"I guess so" I nervously say. He unties it and I slowly open my eyes. My mouth widens with shock, a look of awe creeping onto my face. The whole scenery just being way too perfectMy eyes land on a beautiful sunset. Glancing down at the beach sand there's a beautiful setup on the groundThere's a walkway trickled with rose petals, can

Two guards turn towards me their eyes briefly taking me in. They look at my outfit and then they look back down quickly when they realize I'm looking at them.Walking into his room I hear the water running in his shower. Going towards the bathroom I slowly push the door open.I can do this. I can do this He stands in the middle with his back turned to me. Water cascades down his chiseled back, his muscles flexing with every movement he makes by running his hand through his hair. Staring at him I slowly start taking off my set.Looks like I’m not going to need it after all. Opening the shower door he just pauses"Amari what are doing in here" he growls outHow does he even know it's me?Wrapping my arms around his torso. I graze my hands over his abs. His breathing stills when I move my hand lower"Stop" he grunts grabbing m
