Julius's POV"She just went inside boss"One of my men informed me from the other end of the phone"Okay.Just stay at your posts and keep me updated""Yes boss"I had installed security to keep a close eye on Vera.It's been easier ,seeing as she spends most of her time in the garden within my men's reach and eye range.Yes it may be creepy but I couldn't risk it.They may plan to ambush home while I'm at work ,although their attack will be futile. My house was built like a fortress but still, I couldn't take any risks.I couldn't risk her.I found it very difficult to do basically anything when I remembered I had kissed Vera last night under the influence.I wasn't heavily drunk,I remembered small pieces, but the kiss was the part I couldn't forget.I had no idea what she thought about me now.It would be so awkward now.I was stressing over it and not paying attention to work matters; why Cyrus decided to stay home yet again.He has been doing it alot lately and I'v been suspicious

Julius's POVI was keeping a very good eye on Cyrus and my suspicions were just being proved.He always left the office three hours earlier than he was actually meant to and went home.I had this feeling he was after Vera and it made me angry .I kept a close watch on the camera's in Vera's room.The motion censored cameras made sure I got the whole view of what she was doing.I watched her on my laptop in my office.She walked out of her bathroom in a towel as her wet hair clung to her face.She looked beautiful as she sat using her hair dryer to blow dry her hair.Her hair covered half of her face and it reminded me of the first time we met.I smiled as I watched her gracefully comb and tend to her soft hair as the memory of it's feel came back to me.She got up and started pulling off her towel and I started getting aroused so I shut the laptop as Aldonis walked in, looking at me weird."Why do you look like you were just caught doing something you were not supposed to?"He narrowe

Vera's POV"Julius!"I held his lifeless body in my arms as I cried my eyes out ,and all of a sudden I was being pulled away from him as I tried my hardest to fight back but he faded away into the darkness."Julius!"I sat up with my hand stretched out.I had ragged breaths as my chest rose and fell.I was crying as a layer of sweat coated my forehead.I ran a hand through my hair as I tried to regulate my breathing .I blinked slowly. My eyes felt really heavy.Then it hit me!Julius! W-where is he!I looked around to see I wasn't in my room. Heck, I had no idea where I was. The room was beautiful yes but I couldn't recognise it The room door opened and mother came in with Mom and Mrs Juli.I sat at the edge of the bed and mom came to me."How are you sweetie?"She kissed my face and I held her hand"I'm fine mom""We were all so worried Vera""Where's Julius?"The three women exchanged looks between each other before they returned their trained looks to me."He's fine .You can see

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. Vera's POVHe pulled me into his front and kept his head on my shoulder. I froze not knowing how to

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 tried severally to get her to come out or at least talk to me but all I could hear were quiet sobs and it broke my heart. I couldn't hold my doll when she was breaking. 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
