Xavier's Bride

Xavier

"What the hell is this!" He tossed the magazine on the table angrily and stood up from his chair. His pupils darkened and his fists were gripped.

Jacob glanced at the blonde who had been kneeling on the floor for nearly an hour by now. The look in her eyes could say it all that she was on the verge of passing out yet somehow holding it on. Even if she would black out, she would only find herself dead after waking up... Yes, in heaven or hell!

"Mr Bryant, I..." Her voice quivered as she tried sounding off.

"Get her out of my sight! Right now!" 

Before she could finish off the line, she was dragged out of the glass room. Outside, Jacob helped her to stand up and the blonde looked at him with sombre eyes.

"Mr Lewis, I can't do this anymore. He is so uprightly rude. I bet no woman will ever tolerate his bad temper. Mr Bryant has some serious issues..."

She took some notches away as her eyes glistened with Jacob's raged ones. Everybody in the city knew that Jacob could never tolerate someone badmouthing his boss.

Xavier and Jacob grew up in the same house, he played with him and went to school with him and when someone bullied him, it was Xavier who beat them.

It was because of Xavier's grandparents that he could go to school, get to eat meals properly and have a safe place to live. He grew up well because of their help.

Jacob yanked the woman's wrist tight and put an envelope in her hand.

"Take this money and leave this city before you get killed for your fucking mouth." 

"I..." Taking the money she made her way out of his sight. 

Jacob sauntered inside the room. Xavier Bryant is known to be as Mr Bryant who was now standing by the window. His hands were placed in his pocket and his sleeves up.

"Mr Bryant, I have given them another call. They will soon find a woman..." 

"Only a week."

"Got it."

Amyra

"I have to leave this house by tomorrow? But mom..."

Sanaeha shut her off as she pronounced with deep remorse. "Don't worry about the money, I will be sending you your living expenses every month. So you can live without any worries in the dormitory."

"But Mom, I don't want to leave. Why can't I live with my family? I came here just a week ago and you said I could live here then why all of a sudden..." 

"We are not going to talk about this again. I have let you know my decision, you can only follow it not question me like this."

"I... I see. Can I ask something then?"

Sanaeha bobbed her head at Amyra's question. Letting out a sigh Amyra asked, "Is she also going to stay in the dormitory?"

"She is still young, you know she can't live without me. So..."

Sanaeha couldn't see Amyra anywhere. So she understood she left after getting her answer already. It hadn't been easy at all. Surely she didn't want it but she was not left with any choice so she could only push Amyra away.

'I am sorry, Amy. That's all I can do for you. I am really sorry.'
