Amaira's POVIt is been two weeks since I came to my hometown. My family and Bernard questioned why I was not returning to work, so I informed them that I would no longer be joining the company as I had permanently relocated here.They questioned me about why I made such a big decision, so I simply told them I was not comfortable in that company. Moreover, I would like to spend more time with my family. I was missing them and it was now getting hard for me to stay alone. John has received a scholarship, so I no longer have to worry about his studies, and my mother has already undergone surgery and the required treatment in the last two weeks. As promised he provided with all the medical aftercare to my mother through the doctors. But I made sure that in all this I am not getting to face him. I just hate that man from the bottom of my heart. I have decided to take a job in my city that will allow me to feed my family and cover the medical expenses. Previously, I was unable to find wor

Dominic's POVIt's been two months since Amaira left for her hometown, but I can't get her thoughts out of my head. She is always in the back of my mind, no matter what I am doing.She has been my drug, my addiction, since the first time I tasted her.I crave her daily and get anxious when I can't have her or even see her. My heart yearns for her presence, my hands yearn to touch her body, my arms yearn to engulf her, and my tongue yearns to taste her once more!Right now, I am only interested in my little flower.She appears to have taken a piece of mine with her. I have been feeling incomplete after that night.I was getting antsy and didn't know what to do. My fingers reached for my drawer. I only have a few people in my life who I adore, and one of them is the person in this photograph. Whenever I feel down or don't know what to do next, I look at this photograph and half of my problems get solved. At the very least, it gives solace to my heart. Bending down, I pulled out the dra

Amaira's POVI woke up with a heaviness in my head. My stomach was empty, and it churned as soon as I regained consciousness. I blinked my eyes open and scanned the area to find myself in my room.I exhaled a sigh of relief and closed my eyes once again. "Finally, you are awake"When I saw Bernard standing beside my bed, my head turned in the direction of his voice and a small smile formed on my lips. The way he proposed to me for the wedding before I passed out came to my mind. But there was no joy or excitement in his voice or on his face to see me conscious."Amy, how are you?" When I heard my brother's voice and felt him grab my arm, I turned my face to the other side.I agreed with a nod.My gaze returned to my mother, who stood silently in the corner of the room, thinking something. But she didn't ask me any questions. Is she not concerned about me?Many thoughts were racing through my mind as I sat at the edge of the bed, and John gave me enough room to sit comfortably. My gaze

Amaira's POVMy brother and I slept the entire night on our mother's lap while she sang lulubay to us in the way she used to sign when we were kids. I felt a lot better after telling my family about my problem. My mother and brother have promised to be there for me no matter what, and they have also asked me not to keep anything hidden from them.John was enraged as he listened to me, and his expression indicated that he wanted to kill Dominic with his bare hands, but I don't want my brother to mess with that monster because I know he will not hesitate to ruin his career and life.We must proceed with caution because there is no doubt that this man wields power and authority.I turned around, quickening my pace, and headed back home. Today I got free from the work early and decided to take Chinese food to home because John loves it. My lips curved into a smile. I am sure he would be delighted to see the food. He still has a child inside him.When I saw black cars parked in front of my

Trigger warningAmaira's POVMy father was a dedicated police officer. During his service, he assisted many people. He believed that if we do good to others, it will come back to us in some way. So, if we want others to be kind and helpful to us, we should always try to be kind and helpful to others.His helpful nature came helped us today. He once saved an elderly lady's home from burglars. The lady treated him as her son and has kept in touch with our family ever since he has died. She was always willing to assist us in our times of need, but we never accepted her support. But now, when we needed a roof to hide from that monster, we turned to her for assistance because we knew that in such a situation, only she could help us, just as she had helped our father hide for many days to catch the criminals.She gave us the keys to her house, which is hidden in the woods and difficult to find.We have been staying here for the past week. John won't let me or my mother leave the house while
