Julius's POVWe decided the best thing was to have Vera with me at all times. We have to make sure she doesn't leave our sight.Knowing alot of people were going to be there, the chances she could secretly be attacked were very high. "Is everything ready?""Yes bossAll the men are downstairs dressed like guests they have eyes everywhere down there""We have to keep her safe no matter what-"We were waiting for Vera outside her door so we could go down together.I was cut short when her room door opened and she alighted looking absolutely gorgeous.She had on an emerald dress.Her hair was down in it's wavy glory and the curls bounced around.She had on gold stud ear ringsHer red glossy lip was being bitten on as she looked away shyly.And just then I realised I had been staring for some time .She came to me as her eyes were cast down at her feet.I tilted her chin up so her gaze met mine. I stared into her eyes as I tucked a bit of hair behind her ear and smiled at her."You lo

Third POVJulius's health had been improving and so has his want for Vera.His mum left them knowing well that Vera could take care of him.He had started walking on his own but was still adviced to rest for the time being.He stayed away from work per the doctor's advice and he never missed a chance to make Vera blush or faulter in whatever she was doing either by small gestures or teasing.Vera on the other hand never protested but she was conflicted whether to take his gestures as love for her or to take them as him exacting his rights on her.She found herself getting worked up thinking about it "It's silly you think he doesn't love you"Vera had turned to her best friend for help, knowing she would be able to understand her uncertainty "It's not silly.It's completely justified.If he loved me he would have told me "She sighed running a hand through her hair"All he has done for you isn't enough to tell you he loves you.He brought your family to you and he kissed you in front

Julius's POVI opened my eyes feeling fully rested for the first time in years. I looked down at Vera who laid on my chest with her hair sprawled on her face. I watched her beautiful face. She looked like an angel sleeping. I tucked the hair behind her ear, away from her face and stroked her cheek. I could wake up to this face every morning. I still couldn't believe she was all mine and no one else's. She stirred a little in my hand clinging unto me the more. She must be a cuddlerI smiled at how adorable she was. Her dove eyes opened and stared up at me "Good morning beautiful"Her cheeks turned bright pink as she looked down"M-morning"She whispered Getting up she ran a hand through her messy hair and I just stared at the scene. She got up from the bed and threw her hair into a messy bun. I got out behind her and pulled her into me as I rested my head on her shoulder.

Julius's POVEverything changed after that encounter. Vera has been withdrawn from everyone for the past two weeks. She doesn't talk to anyone. She doesn't open her doorI wanted to kill Nina for telling Vera the way she did. I had been aware ever since the party but her parents made me promise not to tell her that they would do so themselves. But that bitch Nina had to come and ruine everything. She broke my Vera. My doll. After a few minutes of Vera crying her heart out into my shirt and shaking,she stood up with an emotionless look on her face and walked into her room locking the door behind her, and that was how it stayed.

I couldn't protect her from what she was doing through. And it all made me so mad and angryI had to resist the urge to throw Nina into one of our cells. Instead I sent her back ho

Third person POV"Come on!... "Vera basically pulled Julius along with her through the mall's hallways stopping at every shop to stare through the windows but end up not even going in. She pulled him up to a dress store and stopped gawking at a gorgeous red backless gown that was on display as the newest piece"If you like it we can buy it doll"She bit on her lower lip thinking"No.It's not that pretty"Julius knowing very well that she was lying took her hand and pulled her in to the store. Immediately he stepped foot into the storeEveryone stopped what they were doing and just stared at him. His presence demanded attentionA woman rushed up to him with a rather unnecessary smile plastered on her face"Good day Mr ChrysanthosMay we help you with anything? "Vera watched in shock as his whole demeanor changed. He stood firm and straight as he looked around the store, she could feel the same power radiating off him like it was when they first met. He always found a way to mak
