FAZER LOGINAMARIS POV“It’s the least I can do.”The moment I said those words, Amoria turned and left with a smile on her face, leaving me in a destabilised state.I almost killed my own sister?What kind of being was I?I came out of the bathroom, suddenly losing the urge to do anything.After cleaning my body and getting dressed, I lay sideways on the bed, staring at the window.The sun went down in the blink of an eye, while Amoria sent a maid to inform me of the location and time.Sluggishly, I pulled myself up from the bed before coming outside to look for Zevian.When I asked another maid, she informed me of his whereabouts, so I headed in the direction of his room.When I arrived, I took a deep breath before knocking gently on the door.“Busy,” his voice sounded from behind the door.“Hey, I wanted to talk to you, but since you’re busy, I’ll go,” I mumbled, turning to leave. But just before I could, the door flew open.“No need for the cutesy act. The door is always open for you.”“Oh.”
AMARIS POVThe kiss was short, as I pushed Ethan back.I turned away bashfully. “I think it’s time you go to your room.”“Are you chasing me out?” he said, licking his lips.“Yes! Now go,” I muttered, pushing him towards the door before slamming it in his face.My fingers flew to my lips, still in disbelief at what had happened.I rushed to the bathroom, sinking into the tub to avoid letting my thoughts dwell on the kiss.I shouldn’t be this bashful, right?I was literally carrying that man’s child.But then again, I tried searching for that familiar butterfly that always found its way into my stomach whenever Zevian was around. Even if he wasn’t doing anything in particular and was just staring at me, the butterflies always found a way to make me notice their presence.But why weren’t they here?I dipped my head into the water, allowing it to swallow the sounds of the world.But something felt strange as I sensed a presence hovering above me. Quickly, I brought my head above the wate
AMARIS POV I rushed away from Ethan’s side to grab the puppy from Zevian’s hands. “So cute!” I squealed. “Is this why you left the hospital?” I asked with a pout. “No… I initially left because I was sick of both of you and your little display of affection. But then I remembered I could give a much better gift than that ugly-looking goat toy.” “Ai! You didn’t have to,” I muttered, even though I didn’t mean it. I’d take this surprise over and over again. “Thank you,” I mumbled as I played with the cute little puppy. “I’ll name him…” I thought hard for a while, staring at the ceiling as if a name would magically appear in my head. “Ooh… I like Alexander. Xandy for short.” I chuckled at how quickly the name came to my mind. But I noticed that the moment the name fell out of my mouth, Zevian’s expression froze as he stared intently at me. “Why that name?” he asked. “I don’t know. It just resonates well with me, and it’s handsome, just like the puppy.” “It’s an ugly name. I want
AMARIS POV“Hey, wake up,” a voice echoed inside my head.“No. Leave,” I grumbled as I turned, attempting to move away from the source of the noise.“Go away,” I grumbled.“I guess I’ll just have it all to myself, then,” the voice muttered.Have what to themselves?Curiously, I opened my eyes to find Zevian seated on the edge of the bed with a tray of food in his hands.A yawn escaped my lips as I sat upright.“Since when do hospitals prepare such lavish meals?” I asked after taking in the food on the tray.“I don’t know. Probably to give their patients enough nutrients so they won’t keep coming back here,” he explained as he placed the tray between us.“Bad press, then. This is doing the exact opposite because, with a meal like this, I’d make sure I kept coming to the hospital just to have free and lovely meals,” I muttered, grabbing the spoon.“Of course you would. Not everyone is as greedy as you are.”Zevian grabbed the spoon before I could. “I’ll help you.”I sat there, still in
AMARIS POV“Petal… are you admitting you feel safe around me?”“You… you!” I pointed a finger at him, having no idea what to tell this man.“It feels nice, though. I promise, I no longer have any intention of paralyzing you, so could we go back to the time when you felt safe around me?” He grinned.Okay, I think I know the reason for my emotional stress, mental stress, frustration, and anxiety. This man was at the top of that list.“No,” I mumbled, adjusting on the bed.“If you do, I’ll take you to see your favorite actress,” Zevian said, nudging me to lie back down.I was about to jump for joy when I realized he’d mentioned an actress.“Why not my favorite actor?” I asked, finding it suspicious.“No. Unless you want me to break both of his lower limbs.” He blinked as if that were a perfectly normal thing to say.“You really are something else,” I muttered before lying back down.Zevian’s hand moved to draw me closer, resting on my stomach.“I hope your babies look as beautiful as yo
AMARIS POV"See, I told you your baby is in for a surprise," Zevian whispered in my ear.I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for long, and when I finally did, I glanced at Zevian. I wrapped my hands around his neck, holding him in a tight hug."Thank you," I snuggled in further."Anything for you, petal," his hand caressed my back gently.The sound of the doctor's awkward coughing made me remove my hands from Zevian to look back at him. The doctor had a sheepish smile on his face."It's a boy and a girl," he said.I glanced back at the monitor, feeling nothing but tremendous joy bubbling in my chest."Can I have the image? So I could show the father?" I asked.The apparent shock on the doctor's face was visible as his gaze trailed from mine to Zevian and back to mine."He's my brother-in-law," I mumbled, feeling embarrassed for some reason."Okay, no problem, ma'am. You'll get it before your discharge tomorrow. You can return to your ward whenever. You can press the button on your
