Alyia's POV. I rolled again around my bed for the nth time. What he said made me thinking and I don't know why.It's getting late but I can't sleep because of what he said. Darn. After hours of rolling around my bed, I decided to stand up and get a bottle of milk. This should really help make me sleep, I said to myself. I passed by the dining area.Taking steps to the kitchen, I saw Cosmos' sleeping face. Pulling strands of my hair because what he said earlier. It really went inside me. Argh! He's so annoying! The moment I got what I was supposed to get, I quickly ran to my room. Hours after, I already fallen asleep. * * * "Good morning, madam! It's monday! You should get going."My eyes were half-closed when I heard Debbie's voice. She woke me up by calling me this early. I turned my gaze to the clock on my phone and saw that it is just 8:40 am. So early. "What? So early, Debbie. I didn't get enough sleep last night, you know.", I said with a sleepy voice. "Oh my! You forg
Alyia's POV. "You have three meetings to attend later, madame. Also, you have to visit the site. Remember the resort that's soon to rise? You have to visit it personally. As the board wishes.", Debbie said while holding her folder that states all of my schedule. "Okay. You may go out.", I commanded her.After a few seconds, I heard a closing of the door. "Good morning, Cole.", it's Debbie's voice from outside. "Here's the steak, ma'am. And also, there's rice. I know that you haven't eaten yet. So, sorry if you woke up and didn't found me by your side. I just bought you breakfast."There comes his annoying face with a smirk again. Last night, he was acting like somebody else. Not like this. A weirdo. That's Cosmos for you. "It's okay and besides, I thought this day would be so peaceful but when I saw your face, I realized that bad days really exists.", I said as I get the food from his hand.Tapping his shoulder, I smirked. Now, it was him who rolled his eyes. I stared at him, a
Alyia's POV. I woke up because I felt something banging my head. "Aww.", I said and felt pain so I caressed my head. "Ma'am, are you okay?" My eyes are closed because of the pain I am enduring now. The person who asked me handed me a glass of water and I immediately drank from it. "Thank you.", I said after drinking that lessen the pain that I was feeling. "That is a first."When I recognized his voice, I rolled my eyes. There he goes again. "Will you please shut up? Where's my clothes? I have so many things to review and sign.", I said and tried to stand up but I can't. It felt like my body is so heavy. I can't even move as fast as I can. When I tried to stand up, I feel like my sight was moving in a circular motion. "I feel dizzy.", I uttered while massaging gently the sides of head. "That's because you're stubborn."I gave him a death glare when he said that. "I am not!", I shouted and tried to stand up again but I felt dizzy again. Before anything happens, Cosmos' arms
Alyia's POV."These clothes aren't matched for what I will do today! For God's sake, Cosmos?! A cocktail dress? High heels? I have so many tapings and shoots that I have to attend to and you'll tell me that you bought these?", I said as I massage my head because these clothes in front of me is giving me a headache. "I just pulled anything that I laid my eyes on your closet, ma'am.", Cosmos said while bowing his head. "Well, you better go back at the condo and bring clothes that's more comfortable. Please, I'll be late for my shoot.", I said without glancing at him. I feel sorry for him. His only dury is to guard me. Make sure that I'm safe but here I am, letting him do the tasks that my personal assistant must do. Sorry, Cosmos. "Ma'am?"I turned around and saw Debbie holding a folder. "Yes, Debbie?""You just have to sign these, ma'am. Cosmos already reviewed these. All you need to do is sign it. Cosmos stayed up overnight just to finish these, ma'am.", she said while handing me
Alyia's POV. "Ma'am, you must change for your next shoot.""Ma'am?""Ma'am, Ma'am Iya said that you must hurry up. We will be late for your next shoot.""Ma'am, is something bothering you?"It is Mira's voice who brought me back to reality. "Hmm? Nothing.", I said while shaking my head. "You've been spacing out since we left your condo, ma'am.", Mira said while holding clothes that I suppose, I'll be using for this shoot. "Nah. It's really nothing, Mira.", I stated while looking at the clothes she's holding. "Also, Cole keeps on calling me. Should I call him back, ma'am? I think he's worried because we left him at your condo while he's still sleeping.", Mira added. I quickly shook my head. "No. Let him be.", I said while still shaking my head. "By the way, what are those clothes for? Is that for my shoot?", I asked her as I point the clothes that she's holding. "Oh! Yes! These are for your shoot later, ma'am. Ma'am Iya said that you must hurry up and change.", Mira said as she
Cosmos' POV."Will you please stop walking around, ag Cosmos? It's making me more worried.", I heard Iya's voice said to me.It's been hours since we can't contact Alyia and it's driving me nuts. She's in danger, that's what I am thinking the whole time. "How can you be that calm? Alyia is missing for hours.", I said and turned my sight on my wrist watch. It's already 11;36 PM. It's really late and dangerous. "I'm sure she's safe. Let's just wait for an update.", Iya said with the same calm voice. "How can you be so sure that she's safe? You hired me to protect her but here we are, we can't find Ma'am Alyia.", I said as I walk around again. "I got news!", a voice said from the door. I immediately went near Mira who said those words. "What? Did you find out where Ma'am Alyia is?", I asked her with worry. "I didn't but the police is ready to help us in any way that they could. We'll just report Miss Alyia as a missing person then, they will do what they can to help us.", she ans
Alyia's POV. "Here, eat these."It was Clay who gave me a tray. I stared at it and was hesitant if I should take it or just let it be. I'm getting hungry. It's been minutes since they contacted Cosmos. Is he really going to save me? In this situation I am in right now, how can I save myself if no one will? I'm feeling useless. Useless because I've been spending my life in a waste. I can't even defend myself."Hey? Miss Alyia?"When I turned my gaze to Clay, he was already snapping his fingers. "How can you act this way if you're going to harm me, after all? Why feed me if I'll just die here?", I asked him trying not to show any reaction. "Just eat, Miss.", he said and disappeared from my sight. I let out a deep sigh while staring at the food. So, how will I eat if I'm covered with rope here? They're really a pack of idiots. While staring at the food, I feel like hearing tik toks of clocks in my head. Tik tok tik tok tik tok. Another minute have passed. Cosmos... It's bee
Cosmos' POV. I sighed in relief when we got in Alyia's condo unit safely. I just laid her down on the sofa and put pillows on her head to make her comfortable and covered her with blanket so that she won't feel cold. I stood up and walked my way to the window. I just did something that the deity told me not to. I feel like betraying her now. I don't know but I feel like I don't regret saving Alyia using my powers. At least, she's safe. That's all that matters to me now. All that matters to me now is her and her safety. I don't like the feeling of worrying about her. She's like this tiny girl that I feel like she's in need of help all the time. Her eyes screams sadness. Her actions are so limited. I feel like she's prohibiting herself not to feel this or that which is actually wrong. A person has his/her free will. He/she has the freedom to feel or speak out his/her opinion. This person, Alyia is one of those people that needs to be saved. That needs to be taught how to let your
