Amaira's POVDominic wouldn't let me leave the room since last night. He was constantly looking after me. Whenever I needed something, he was always nearby. He left for an hour or two for some important work after ensuring that I was sleeping soundly in the afternoon and that everything I could need was on the table. This is how much he loves his baby. He can't see me as a problem because it will directly affect his baby's health. Now I am sure of one thing if he hates or loves someone, he does it intently.But for the time being it is not him about whom I should be thinking, my main concern is Ava!Today is her wedding, and neither her brothers nor her father is present. It's been two days since I told Austin everything and I haven't got a chance to talk to him. I was in my room yesterday, and I haven't seen him since this morning. I am not sure if he is taken any steps to help his sister or if he is just going to be a part of her wedding, which will do nothing except make her life
Amaira's POVThe car stopped with a screech as we reached the church. Lady Catherine and I were in the same car, while Austin and Ava were in another. Lady Catherine remained silent throughout the journey as if she is unhappy with the wedding in some way, and I am sure the fact that he can't do anything is eating her up from within. No mother in the world would allow her child's life to be ruined in front of her eyes unless there was a compelling reason. Her hands are bound too. She can't do anything to save her daughter. Only close family members are going to attend the wedding so only four of us including Ava have come here. As informed by Austin, Ava's father is not going to attend the wedding, and no one knows where Dominic is. We must complete the wedding rituals as soon as possible because guests are waiting for us in the palace. We can't make them wait for long. Lady Catherine was the first to exit the car, and I followed her. As I looked ahead I found Austin helping his sist
Amaira's POVI crossed my fingers before turning on my heels, hoping that everything is fine. As we all looked around, we saw two men fighting together. Because they were all dressed in black, I had no idea who was fighting on our side and who was from the opposite side. "Ava, please come down!" Austin yelled, standing by my side as he suspected the danger. Ava abruptly took her groom's arm and led him down the stairs to stand with us."This was what I was afraid about, William," Ava sobbed. "I don't want anyone to die because of me" she cried. Please make this stop. Please!" She pleaded."Don't cry Ava, please. You know I can't see you like this. Nothing will happen to anyone. I guarantee it" Before proceeding towards the gate where the conflict was taking place, her brother promised her while making sure that no one is moving from their place. "Austin" Lady Catherine called her son as she didn't want him to go there. And why would a mother want her son to go down the well of dea
Amaira's POVAfter everything had returned to normal, we decided to return to the palace, where guests were awaiting us. We are already late, and we can't keep them waiting any longer. The newlywed couple went in one car. Groom's parents took another car, and the rest of us settled in a separate car.The entire ride was silent since we were all engrossed with our thoughts, and no one talked about what had just transpired a few minutes before. No one wanted to even think about it. Austin and Lady Catherine Were sitting nonchalantly as if fights and all were nothing out of the ordinary for them. I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't come to know when the journey ended and the car came to a halt in front of the palace. Lady Catherine was the first to emerge from it, and Austin quickly followed her. I was a little exhausted from the three hours of makeup plus the situation in the chapel, so it took me a minute to come out of it. I am also feeling weak because I haven't eaten anything
Dominic's POVAs I entered the hall my eyes started searching for my little flower. When I saw her back, my feet started heading in her direction, while Austin stood in front of her, asking her for the last dance. When I noticed leftover food on the plate placed on the table between them, my blood began to boil in my veins. This clearly shows that she was dining with him. For the time being, I shrugged off the thoughts and focus on the present.She was going to extend her hand to him when I slipped my palm between theirs and took her palm in mine before pulling her away from him and leading her towards the dance floor before their skin could come in contact. Because it was the final dance, the lights were turned off and quiet music was played to make it extra special and sensational. I went to the center of the dance floor, the only point with light in the dark hall. My arms snaked around her waist, pressing her soft body against me, while my other hand grasped her so that she can't
Amaira's POVThe visitors' cheering and hooting pulled us apart. The lights were suddenly turned on, and all eyes were on me. I looked down because I was embarrassed. I was about to run away from him when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to his chest. "Where do you think you are going?" Lady Catherine approached us and kissed my forehead affectionately, murmuring, "I hope you two get married as soon as possible."Was it a blessing or a curse for me?When we heard the clapping, our attention was drawn in that direction. Lady Catherine whirled around, while Dominic and I gazed up. Austin was in the center, clapping with her arms raised high to get the attention of the guests who were entirely focused on us."Attention ladies and gentlemen" he spoke while clapping "Now it's time for the newlywed couple to cut the cake," he said with a wide smile on his lips.Lady Catherine turned around to give me another charming smile and gently squeezed my shoulder before making her way to the
Amaira's POV"Now, now," he prompted, licking his lips, "be ready for the punishment.""I- I am exhausted," I admitted, "the day was really long and tiring for me!" When I blinked slowly, his eyes softened.I am not sure what he had in mind for me in terms of punishment, but right now every bone in my body is throbbing and I can't bear any pain or do anything that demands energy. I am literally bone tired. He cocked his head and took a step back after staring at me for a second. He stepped on the edge of the bed, looked down at me, and extended his hand."Let me help you" My gaze shifted from his hand to his face. When I paused to consider his offer, he knelt and took my hand in his own. He couldn't wait for me to make any move. He wrenched my hand away, forcing me to slither down and stand on my own. He then led me slowly to the mirror and forced me to sit on the chair in front of it as he stood behind me. I gazed up at him through the mirror, puzzled about what he was going to do n
Amaira's POVAs the sun rays began to prick my skin, I stirred in my sleep. It was a little difficult for me to adjust to the lights and open my eyes, but I made it by blinking multiple times. I yawned and stretched as much as I could.Dominic was sitting on the chair beside the bed when I opened my eyes and my vision became clear. His legs were crossed on the bed, one on top of the other, and he was reading a book with a spectacle resting on his nose. "Hmmm.... Finally you are awake" he said closing the book with a snap. His words grabbed my attention and I looked up to see the time. My eyes widened. It was 3'O clock of the afternoon. I slept so long? "Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked the obvious question, looking at him with the same expressions of shock. "Because you were looking cute, sleeping carelessly," he smiled, drawing my brows together, "it's just because you had a long and tiresome day yesterday. I only wanted you and our baby to have enough rest" He went on to expl
