Amaira's pov
When 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 bAmaira'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
Amaira's POV "You" His eyes flicked to my lips again. "I want you!" "No, you can't have me!" I reared back "I am not an object!" "Oh! If I want I can have you right here against the wall and no force on earth can stop me from doing so!" His words held so much power that I shivered at my place. We were so close that I am sure he is well aware of my condition right now. My heart was thumping against my chest and my breath was coming out short and ragged. "But I want you to willingly submit to me and fulfill my desires for you!" He said moving his face incredibly closer to mine. "How could you force your will on me!" I was on the verge of crying not because of the physical pain but because of the mental trauma he was giving to me. No matter how hard I try, I could not make myself free from his deathly grip nor did he intends to do so. I was feeling very small in front of his beastly body. His one
Amaira's POVI lay in bed for four days, healing my wound and pondering on what had happened that night. I needed some time and space to heal myself. Mr. Kingston's words made me forget about the incident that had occurred just before his presence in my apartment. His words are ringing in my head again and again.I haven't told anyone about what happened that night, and I haven't gone to see my mother because they would be concerned if they saw my wounds. I don't want to cause my mother any stress, especially since she is going through such a critical stage in her life. The doctor has asked me not to put her under any kind of stress. So I thought it to be better to keep my pain with myself.Finally, I got ready to go to the office today to resign from my job. I don't want the job that I didn't get because of my abilities. Furthermore, if I worked for him, he could bend me to his will. I will look for another job. It may pay less, but I would feel
Amaira's POVMy eyes were tightly squeezed, my palms clutched the sheet tightly and I threw my head to one side when I felt a hand crawling over my body.When I realised I was still in my room, my eyes shot open with a loud gasp, and I took a deep breath of relief. In anticipation, my chest heaved up and down, and drops of perspiration ran down my temple. It was a nightmare all over again!I wiped my upper lip with the back of my palm before turning to reach for the water bottle. My throat was getting dry. But before I could reach for it, my gaze was drawn to the open window.My eyes widened slightly because I am certain I locked it before sleeping.Since the day those monsters attacked me, I have been so terrified that before going to bed, I always make sure that all of the windows as well as the doors to my room, are closed. I don't want even the evil air to enter my room. I took a step back, my heart pounding. I wan
Amaira's POV He looked up from his computer and was about to yell when he noticed me."So you came" he chuckled "I was expecting you!"You devil!"Sorry sir, I tried to stop her but..." stated the girl next to me, trying to tell him it is not her fault so that he don't scold him. It is not her fault. No one can predict him. He can insult anyone in public. "You are free to leave!" He added his two cents.She walked out of the cabin with a nod, while taking a deep breath of relief. "My mother needs to undergo an operation today!" I said this while still panting from running and taking deep breaths to fill my lungs with required oxygen. My hair is probably a mess, and my eyes are bloodshot red due to crying and all. But, at the time, I care less about my appearance."Hmm, so?" He asked, tenting his fingers beneath his chin and rocking back and forth on his pricey chair."I want the money that I gave to
