EVA’S P.O.V
“You have a visitor,” the nurse said and took me out of my glass cell, she escorted me to the meeting room without removing the extremely uncomfortable straight jacket that I was in. Did I really belong here? If I spent any more time in here then I would definitely lose my mind. “YOU?” the blood drained from my face when I saw who the person was. “You messed up Eva!” she said, the deadly calmness in the voice, bought back the fear which I usually had in her presence. “But what are you doing here? You shouldn’t be in public. What if someone recognizes you!” I said, still shocked to see her. “I had to come out of hiding, who else would save you from this mess that you have created? You managed to get your sister behind bars, serving life imprisonment and yourself stuck in a mental asylum!!! You are so useless Eva, you had one simple task to do!!! Just 1 task but you managed to fail 10 times! Onl
CARA’S P.O.V“It has been a week since you put us on lockdown Xander! You have more than a 100 men then guarding the two of us in this house, not to mention you following me anywhere that I go, even if it’s the bathroom with your 2 loaded guns in your pockets. The police force has searched the entire city, Eva and her mother were nowhere to be sported. I’m sure that they are smart enough not to come here. Don’t you think that we can ease up a little? ” I tried to talk Xander in giving me some space to breathe because honestly, all this security is beginning to make me feel like I’m about to suffocate.“No Cara…take that thought out of your head because as soon as we let our guard down is when she will attack. I know her well enough to know the way she works and she plays these games with you. She would make you think that everything is okay and then when you least expect it, she makes the strike, knocking you down!
XANDER’S P.O.VThe past five months have been wonderful, it felt as if we have not returned from honeymoon. Each day that passed we fell more and more in love and as the love between us grew, so did Cara’s belly with our baby safe inside of it…Oh, and she glowed, becoming the most beautiful pregnant woman that I have ever seen.Our lives have been peaceful ever since Eva and Susanna fled to Asia and we were living in harmony. Every morning we had breakfast together and every afternoon we would either have dinner in our garden or the balcony. Our lives were filled with romance and undying love. I know of many love stories like the one which my parents shared or Emma’s incomplete and tragic love story but the one shared between Cara and I, is my favorite.I laid in bed, the sound of rain, played a lullaby. I turned over to my beautiful Cara who was sound asleep next to me. The moonlight reflected on her face. Suddenly there was a roar of t
XANDER’S P.O.V“I’ll make a donation of 1 million dollars which must be split equally amongst the doctors and nurses who were in surgery yesterday,” I said to the head of the hospital. “Mr. La’Vardo, that is very generous of you, but the doctors and nurses were merely only doing their job.” He said with gratitude. “They have both my wife and baby…my wife flat-lined and they brought her back for me, my child was turning blue yet they made sure that she would not take her last breathe…1 million dollars is not even sufficient for what they have done for me! They did not only save my wife and child yesterday but by saving them they saved me as well! In fact, I think I am going to change that donation into 3 million dollars, 1 million for each life that they saved” I said. “You are very kind Mr.La’Vardo but as I mentioned earlier, a donation is not necessary” the old head of the hospital said. &l
XANDER’S P.O.V“Sir, the entire city is on lockdown as you requested. She can’t escape now” Antonio reported. “Don’t be so sure Antonio…This is Eva that we are talking about. If she wants to escape she would find a way” I warned him. “You are right sir, but we have 200 police officers in the city looking for her. She would definitely be found and your baby would be safe” he said. “I really hope so Antonio. We don’t have much time, my baby is in a lot of danger. She was delivered at only 6 months and had to be in an incubator! She wasn’t even supposed to even be in contact with anyone or anything because her immune system is still so weak! But now she is out there, in the big world which is filled with sicknesses, viruses, and germs…my little princess is in so much danger! She is so helpless! And so vulnerable!” I buried my head in my hands, exhaustion, and stress taking over me. I didn
The dark starless sky roared with thunder as a flash of lightning allowed me to catch a glance of the face that I feared. I kicked and screamed, I struggled and fought as I was being dragged out of the La’Vardo mansion. I could feel my skin scraping against the ground as I felt powerless against my tormenter. I wasn’t worried about myself but I had to save the baby that I carried inside of me!I dug my nails into the hands that were dragging me, they finally let go of my hair giving my burning scalp some relief. Not wasting a chance of escape, I tried to run back into the mansion where I knew I would be saved but then came a heavy blow to my head and I fell to the ground. I could feel the blood oozing out but there was nothing that I could do to save us…I was pulled through the memories of the life I lived, like a speed train I had each memory being thrown at me…so much of love…so much of pain… so much of happiness…
CARA’S P.O.V I took the last dress from my wardrobe, neatly folded it and placed it into my suitcase. With half my suitcase being empty, I scanned around my room to see if there was anything that I would have forgotten but in my tiny room that barely had anything except a small mirror and a little table in front of it, on which I kept my hairbrush and a cupboard that I kept my five dresses confirmed that there was nothing that I could possibly forget. I zipped up my suitcase and closed my room door. I stopped to look at the photo which hung on our short passage, one last time, hoping that the image will engrave itself in my memory. It was a picture of my Mum, Dad, sister and I. Although we just managed three meals a day, we were happy and the smiles on this photo was proof. My Dad worked hard to feed us and he made sure to get mum her medication. If he was still alive, I would have done my last year in medical college this year but unfortunately for us, my father was
Cara P.O.VA sudden jerk broke my deep sleep. Taking in my surroundings I realized that I’m still on the bus, but it was no longer bright and sunny outside, it was nightfall. Everyone warned me that this place was far away but I thought they meant it was like 2 or 3 hours far, now it seems to be around 8 to 10 hours away since I left in the morning and I’m still traveling. It didn’t help that I have not been out of my hometown before. I guess that I can’t go home to visit as often as I thought that I could.Suddenly the bus driver took a sharp turn, making me slide off the leather seat. Looking outside the window, I couldn’t see much except for a few houses. I could tell that these houses were massive due to their lights which were the only thing that indicated that a house was even there, seeing these lights I could also tell that the properties of these houses were actually acres of land. It took us a few minutes to pass each property, t
CARA’S P.O.V“Wake up Cara! You are already late! Look at the time!!! Do you think that you are on vacation or something?” Lily shouted so loud that I fell off the bed. “I’m awake! I’m awake!” I said, rubbing the back of my head that hit on the pedestal which was next to my bed. “It’s 4 am. I was told that work starts at 7 am and everyone else is still sleeping” I reasoned, my eyes still heavy. “Yes, well Mr. La’vardo wants you to be his personal maid. Hence, you need to be up and ready before he is. Now not another word out of your stupid mouth. Get in the bathroom!” she bullied. “Watch your mouth. You have no right to talk to me in that manner!” I spat back at her. “Actually I do because I’m in charge here!” she argued. “But I’m in charge of all of you,” said a male voice with a light chuckle, both Lily and I turned to see Mr. La’vardo leaning
