Aneessa's point of view.What the fuck just happened?Why did I chicken out all of a sudden?I thought I was so happy that he made it back alive,so why do I still feel this uneasy with him around me.What exactly is the problem with me?I mean it is still obvious the chemistry is there,I can feel it like a burning flame which is ready to burn anything that comes into its part.But then why was I reluctant to have sex with him,why does my mind still call me back even though it is obvious that my heart still loves for him?I stay at the balcony while looking through thin air and asking myself series of questions as I could not bring myself to understand why I had suddenly chicken out and ran out on him just like that,but it helped me to realise one thing. Eventhough I badly wanted to forgive him,eventhough my heart was calling out for him and I could not thing of a world without him in it,I was still too scared to be in any sort of romantic relationship with Xander,because no matter ho
Aneesa's pov I walked into the room and saw my mother with pain in her eyes stretching fought her hands asking me to help her in a pool of her own blood and strength gradually seeping out of her body,but that didn't stop my heartless stepfather from continuously hitting her with the buckle of his belt's tousers, moving my feet on instincts ,I rushed to help her but there was only little I could do before he dragged her by the hair and smashed her head against the wall and that was all it took for her to loose the last ounce of strength remaining in her ,I couldn't believe it I rushed to her screaming my lungs out and shouting for her to open her eyes but nothing happened,her body stayed there still ,lying lifeless in my arms. "Aneesa it's fine I got you" I heard from a distance as I opened my eyes to see Reena my best friend comforting me with worry laced in her eyes.I met Reena back in college and she became my best friend "ironically" because
Aneesa's pov Getting to the club after highlighting the uber and making payments, we headed into the club but I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable because I wasn't used to wearing exposing clothes like this but as it was Reena really didn't give me much of an option. The club was full of different kinds of people, some dancing to really loud music,while some were already drunk and very wasted but that didn't really do any good for me because it only made me more uncomfortable,but since I promised Reena to stay for some time I had no choice to sit by the bar while Renna ordered us some drinks, while drinking I noticed a familiar figure opposite me even though I could not see the person's face cause I was only seeing the back view ,Reena probably noticing my distraction turned to the direction I was looking "if it isn't my cousin.....well now your boss" she said slightly giggling while suddenly walking to the direction he was sitted with his friends,I
Aneesa's POV"Come on Aneesa you really don't have to go to work there today....I could always look for another job for you at different company, Xander was just outrightly rude to you" Reena said for almost the hundredth time today while chewing some of the fries I had made earlier on,she had been trying to convince me against going to the Job due to xander's attitude but I was not budging a bit. "Renna I can't do that, just imagine it as the case of another annoying boss......and besides the pay is good and I really need the money, I'd see you when I get back" I said after sighing and then took my bag while heading out the door. On getting to the office,I found myself rushing to my desk, hoping against all odds that my boss would not be around, because I was 5 minutes behind time regarding the fact that I was met with an heavy traffic on my way to work and also being that he had specifically told me not to come late to work the other day at the club. "Miss
Xander's pov"Arggghh" I groaned inwardly while scrolling for the umpteenth time today , through Diane's and Richard's pictures which was displayed all over the screen of my phone.I hated the fact that it only took a look over their pictures to send my insides and mind spinning. I switched to Andrew's insta story to see if I would find anything to get my mind of her even though it was just for a second.As I scrolled through his insta stories,I was met with several videos and pictures of himself and the guys chatting over loud music, while downing excessive alcohol.Smiling at the sight before me as I thought it would serve as a great distraction,I decided to put a call across to Andrew telling him I would be going over to the bar, which was against my earlier said decision."What's up buddy?.... decided to change your mind?" I heard a very drunk Andrew from the other side of the Phone, after picking up on the third ring. "How long does it take to pick up a
Xander's pov Two days LaterI shook my head while coming down from my car on getting to the front of the company building, it's been two days since I met met the guys at the bar,but that still didn't make the drunken voice of Andrew exceed my brain as I continued to ponder on the obvious jokeful " Advice" he has given me bar, I mean it was constantly ringing in my head like an alarm clock.As I made my way into the office building, I noticed my employees murmuring from different directions, as each of them tried to adjust whatever it was they were doing, I wasn't surprised though,since I got it everyday considering the fact that I never even tried to do as much as send them a smile in a day, I even heard the rumors that went around about me being a very ruthless boss and always being very serious but I never did as much as try to pay any attention to them.Ignoring all the tantrums going on around me, I made my way towards my office as I
Xander's povI was sitted in my sitting room after getting back from work late at night ,while consistently pondering on the possible ways to put my plans in motion thereby making it effective,I knew I had to thread carefully as any decision I made was enough to ruin me as well as my business, but I felt I needed to do this to clear my head so as to give myself closure and enable me to move forward as regards other things.After delebrating on several ways but constantly deciding against them I decided to put a call across to Andrew, as I knew he always had the craziest ideas as regards things like this." Heyyy Xander....what is it you want from me this fine evening" he said as I rolled my eyes while looking at the the frame of my whole family picture hanging on the wall of my sitting room, just near to the flat screen television hung up on the wall next to it. Andrew and the guys,as well as my brothers always claimed I only tried to place a call across to
Aneesa's Pov"he whaaat?" Reena shrieked, clearly in shock and obviously finding hard to believe what I had been trying to explain to her for quite some time.I had been trying to make Reena believe the fact that Xander actually apologized to me in the office for quite sometime,but she didn't seem to believe me, I mean who would right?, Xander was not one to come off as one who would render an apology when he has been in the wrong, heck why would he when he always thought he was right at everything he did." He apologized" I said for the umpteenth time since I got home,after practically jumping her on the three sitter couch she had laid on in the sitting room, but that didn't stop her from still staring at me blankly, trying her best to put together what I had said. I didn't blame her though,I also was still in denial as to if I had heard correctly despite being the one who was apologized too." They really had to be something fishy in all of this......I mean
