Dominic's POVWhen the receptionist greeted me, she turned around and her chocolaty brown eyes met mine. It was the first time I was seeing her emeralds, and they captivated me. I couldn't take my eyes off her beauty. She was looking fresh and professional. The white light was reflecting on her face and it was shining even more. She was blinking and looked a little scared. I am guessing my presence is affecting her, she is feeling nervous because of me. However, her eyes tell me that she hasn't recognized that I am the same man from that evening. How could I expect her to recognize me when she blanked out before her gaze could fall on my face and her brain could remember me?She gulped down in fear, her lips quivering slightly, and my gaze trailed down to those soft petals.My tongue protruded from my mouth to moisten my lips in reaction. I could still taste the saccharine taste of her lips on mine, and I really wanted to taste them right now! "Sir....""Sir...."The constant callin
Amaira's POV When he hovered above me, I squeezed my eyes shut tight. My chest was heaving up and down, and I was trying my level best to keep my movements under control so that I didn't touch his body with mine. We were so close that I am sure he could hear my heart that was drumming in my chest. Although he has not touched me, not even a single inch of his skin has come into contact with mine, yet I felt touched; his eyes were penetrating so deeply into me that it appears he has reached my soul. His hot breath fanned my neck, causing goosebumps to appear all over my skin. Under him, I was practically trembling like a leaf and I don't know why he was having such a strong effect on my senses. My entire body was numb, and my mind was completely blank. I couldn't figure out why he was doing all of this! I mean, there is something called personal space and he was invading it without any hesitation. I so wanted to push him away but my hand co
Dominic's POV Her presentation ran long. The audience present in the hall would have grown restless if not being captivated by the beautiful lady moving before them, gracing their eyes with a beautiful view."As you could see..." she continued to give her presentation in her soft and sweet voice, blinking and pointing at the projector screen, attempting to concentrate on her work.But my gaze was drawn to her baby pink lips, which were constantly moving. I can't get the taste of those plump lips out of my head, which I want to taste over and over again. This desire of mine is dominating my thought every minute. I was envious of how people in the hall were gawking at her lustfully, and she was getting uncomfortable with their intense gaze, but it was necessary to punish her for her actions.Yes, the punishment!I followed her out of the office the other day and was surprised to see her with a boy. She was hugging him and acting all touchy-feely, which made my
Amaira's povWhen he took a commanding step toward me, my breath caught in my throat.What does he want from me now?My hands absentmindedly clutched my skirt, and I gulped hard as I scrunched further into the wall behind me, wanting it to swallow me whole. I just wanted to keep a safe distance from him because his presence causes my brain to shut down and my body to go numb. I don't know why I feel so insignificant in front of his frightening demeanor!He came to a halt when he reached me. We had very little space between us. I literally have to stop breathing, to stop our bodies from touching each other. He was staring down at me without blinking, and I tried my hardest not to show any signs of weakness by looking back into his eyes.His gaze fell to my quivering lips, which were trembling from nervousness, while his expressions remained stoic."Why?" The word spontaneously came out of my mouth.I b
Amaira's POVToday, it felt like the longest ride I had ever taken to my home. Normally, it takes me two hours to reach my city, but it felt like twenty hours, even though the bus arrived on time. I know it happened because I am anxious and stressed about my family. I was simply moving back and forth to shorten the journey, taking deep breaths to relax and taping my shoes to distract my mind. My heartbeat was not yet ready to return to normal, and my palms were becoming cold. I tried to call John again but he didn't respond which only fueled my tension. My phone began to ring; the call was from the CEO, but I ignored it because my family was more important at the time, and no power on the earth could prevent me from reaching them. I know he is calling me as I left the presentation in the middle but I can't help when it comes to my family. As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I dashed to the room where she was being treated. John told me that h
Amaira's POVMy mother's condition has improved from before. She is no longer in danger, but the doctor has stated that she will require surgery anytime. It could be a week or a month so I must remain prepared for that. I have to collect enough money for her surgery. That's why I joined the job on time, because I couldn't afford to enrage the CEO any further. He was already on fire when I left without telling him. This could even cost me my job, which I cannot afford to lose right now.I had been preparing for the auction since the morning, while Mr. Kingston was busy giving me orders to ensure that everything was in order. I was practically moving on his fingers. I couldn't sleep the whole night and my body is constantly working since morning, making me completely exhausted. He has organized this auction in order to sell a portion of his old business. By doing so, he will be able to generate a large amount of revenue, which he will use to expan
**Warning: contains a trigger**Amaira's POVAfter getting out of the place I waited for the cab and decided to walk when I couldn't find one as I don't like to wait when I am alone. On my way, I called my brother to inquire about my mother's health and even had the opportunity to speak with her. They were missing me and I wished I could be by their side right now, but at this time, the job is more important in order to keep them healthy and fill their stomachs.When I got to know about my mother's health I I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my chest. My mood improved after speaking with my family, but my head kept spinning and my legs began to wobble, so I decided to end the call. As soon as I hung up the phone, I received another call from the hospital where my mother is being treated.I have a friend who works at that hospital, so I asked him for assistance in identifying who paid the bills for my mother's treatment. I hope he is calling me to inf
Amaira's POVI awoke with a throbbing pain in my head. My head felt heavy, and when I tried to tilt it, it fell to one side.Every part of my body was screaming in agony. When I tried to lift my arm, the pain shot up in my veins like fire. The pain was as if thousands of needles had been inserted into me at the same time. I could not even move my body. My eyes clenched as I tried to remember what happened to me before I passed out. When I lost consciousness and heard gunshots, three boys were attempting to rape me and planning to kill me. I assumed they had shot me to kill me.My hands worked their way down my body and found myself fully clothed and no bandage was there on my body indicating that the shot was not for me. I forced my eyes open, blinked several times to clear my vision, and realized I was lying on my bed in my apartment.How did I get here?My gaze darted around to ensure that what I was seeing was correct.When I felt something tied arou
