CARA’S P.O.V “Hey babe” I hugged him from the back when I came out of the shower. “Hi, my love,” he said, shutting a book. “What were you reading?” I asked. “Ah, just some boring business book he answered” turning around and holding me close to him. “Why are you so warm? Are you feeling okay?” he asked, his eyebrows creased with concern. “Just a little weak. I’m sure that it’s nothing” I said to him. “Okay, babe…I love you” he said. “I love you too…so…so much,” I said, placing a kiss on his lips. “So where’s the gift?” I asked. “What gift?” he looked at me with a confused expression. “The gift that you received earlier on silly. Don’t tell me that you forgot it at the office” I broke out of his hold and folded my arms across my chest. “No babe…I’m just messing with you” he laughed. “I left it downstairs. Let’s go and open it together” he said, holding my hand, we went down to the first storey. “Chocolates?” I looked surprised. “Oh wow…aren’t these your favori

XANDER’S P.O.V Half a bottle of my whiskey cradled me to sleep as I tilted my head back on the chair that I was sitting on.  The fire crackled and the sound of the rain was like a lullaby as I was drawn into the darkness and away from the pain. …… My hand was wrapped tightly around the gun which I held. The man that I shot coughed out blood as he groaned in pain, his hand pressed hard on the hole that my bullet has made on his chest, he fought for his life as he tried not to bleed to death but his bright blue eyes grew duller and duller by the second, eventually closing. He was no longer struggling, he was no longer fighting for his life, he was no longer moving as he looked peacefully asleep...passing on his suffering to me. Suddenly those bright blue eyes opened again, he began to struggle and groan in pain…he tossed and turned fighting to survive once again. I sat next to him, my heart heavy with guilt but I didn’t know what to do or how to help him.

CARA’S P.O.V *Beep (pause) *beep (pause)*beep, I heard my lifeline as I was pulled back into consciousness. Blinking my eyes until I could see clearly, I saw Xander, with the biggest and broadest smile on his face, my right hand, held gentle but warmly in between both of his. “Hi,” he muttered the smile still on his face. “Hi,” I muttered back to him and groaned in discomfort due to being in the same position for so long. “You took quite a fall there; I counted my lucky stars that you fell straight into the water and we were there just in time to save you. However, you were hit on the head, so if you feel light-headed or experience a different insight, etc then please let me know” he explained. “Yes, Doc.” I teased him.  “Speaking about a Doctor, I should probably call him,” he said, moving out of the seat which he was on, next to my bed. “No! Wait! I’m okay, you can get the doctor just now. Let’s talk…I missed you” I said, stopping him. “I missed you more…I thought tha

XANDER’S P.O.VFrom star gazing to watching the sunrise, white sands and blue water, little islands and lagoons…spending these past 3 days on honeymoon at Phuket with Cara has been nothing less than amazing and we have 4 more days together in this heavenly paradise, just the two of us, away from everything and everyone.“Beautiful isn’t it?” Cara broke the silence between us as we relaxed on the beach, soaking up the sun. “Oh yes, you are!” I said, making her laugh. “Not me silly. I’m talking about the view in front of us” she said. “Not as beautiful as you” I flirted. “Hmm, Mr. Charming are you trying to flatter me?” she played along. “and what on Earth would make you think that? I speak nothing but the truth. In my eyes, no other beauty can compare to yours. The 7 wonders of the world are still trying to compete with you” I said, flirting and complimenting her. “Spe

EVA’S P.O.V“You have a visitor,” the nurse said and took me out of my glass cell, she escorted me to the meeting room without removing the extremely uncomfortable straight jacket that I was in. Did I really belong here? If I spent any more time in here then I would definitely lose my mind. “YOU?” the blood drained from my face when I saw who the person was. “You messed up Eva!” she said, the deadly calmness in the voice, bought back the fear which I usually had in her presence. “But what are you doing here? You shouldn’t be in public. What if someone recognizes you!”  I said, still shocked to see her. “I had to come out of hiding, who else would save you from this mess that you have created? You managed to get your sister behind bars, serving life imprisonment and yourself stuck in a mental asylum!!! You are so useless Eva, you had one simple task to do!!! Just 1 task but you managed to fail 10 times! Onl
