CYNTHIA’s POV
“Girlfriend I ran! Ohooo you should have seen me, have told this story over and over again, it’s four years after now and the mere thought still hurts me, I thought his guards would catch me and my life was literally in my throat… this man would kill me, if he had apprehended me running from him, he warned me not to think about it!” Amira retold her experience with her ex lover again.
I rested my right hand on my chin and listened like I always do. When she gets like this, I know she misses him and I do my best to support by listening keenly to her.
“You still love this man… he definitely owns your heart, I don’t know why you ran from him, but Andrew? Is Andrew tha answer… you don’t like him as much as you do with this man you ran away from, you are using andrew to forget him…. Mrs Janet hates Andrew too… before you look at me like I’m the witch here… listen!” I glared at my best friend, she was about to shut me up as usual and I wasn’t done talking.
“What would I have done if he found out I was pregnant with his triplet? He would never let me leave forever and I’m not about to stay with a man who cannot keep his promise, I can’t!” She shouted at me, hitting the table in front of us, I couldn’t care less about her anger. Amira is stubborn and always tries to win every argument with her anger. I'm used to that already so I didn’t flinch at all.
“Without him I enrolled myself in the medical school here and look at me now .. look at us … I’m a doctor, to hell with love Cynthia” she spat at me again, I really don’t know why she’s putting the anger at me but I took it all, waiting for the right time to talk again.
She reached for my hand unexpectedly and smiled sadly at me, breaking all my defence and thought of reprimanding her. It was as if she knew I was about to ask her to tell the triplet father about them, the same man she’s running from.
“I don’t like seeing you like this … I swear and you know it, I love you very much and I will do anything to make you happy … but if this man is as crazy in love with you as you say… I think you should talk to him…”
“Let’s stop talking about Jasper … I want to thank you…Cynthia for standing by me, what would I have done without you and Mrs Janet… you both are the mother and sister I never had” she mouthed to me, changing the topic as usual, I covered my hand with hers and kissed it.
“You should learn to love the man I love, Cynthia .. Andrew has done a great lot for me… you should …”
I gestured to her to close running mouth to me about Andrew at once, “I would do anything for you but to accept that man of yours, i can’t, you can’t force me to like someone! I hate him and that’s it” I yelled at her, she got my message and recoiled back into the sofa. I almost begged her again but I stopped myself from doing that, it’s high time I stand by my voice.
ANDREW POV
I Watched as she put the three little devils to sleep, she asked me not to come to her place tonight but I couldn’t do that, her love was beginning to drive me nut, now I see why the Alpha king would kill to find her, although she’s isn’t aware of the games I’m playing and she musnt know.
The main reason have been pretending to be the perfect man for her these past four years since she moved into the human world. “They have finally stopped crying” I said to her, she nodded at me and gestured for me to follow her out of their room to the parlour.
I couldn’t wait to kill these devils and have my woman to myself, i peeked at them one last time before following Amira out of the room, their cute faces almost made me feel guilty of my plans but I shrugged it off, of course she would hate me if she could read my thoughts! I almost laughed at the mere thought. To her I’m the perfect gentleman.
Three years ago she agreed to be my girlfriend but wouldn’t allow me to touch her or have any intimacy with her. I have tried everything to make her give up her triplet for adoption but it wasn’t possible as well.
“Amira you are a strong woman” I praised her genuinely with a wide smile and she pecked my cheek in response without saying anything again, instead she sauntered into her kitchen to dish my food, she definitely didn’t know why I just praised her but I did. She’s strong, keeping to her rules, i would have cracked other women by now and have them under my feet but Amira isn’t an easy target.
I stopped asking her to give up her triplet when she threatened to leave me if I bring it up again, I stopped immediately, my three years hard work will not be in vain because of my thoughtlessness, I should have known that she would never part with the one real thing which remind her of the Alpha.
Her best friend is another challenge, Cynthia would never put in any good word for me, she loathes me to her inner bone and I hate her too, but I didn’t show her or Amira that. I always act like the wounded boyfriend.
When I tried to advise Amira to give up on her work in the hospital and get married to me to be a full housewife, Cynthia texted me. Raining curses and hurling insult at me. Not that Amira would ever agree, I even tried to go to her place of work to destroy her reputation there and when she found out, I almost lost her, she didn’t talk to me for a month.
All of these caused a big hole in our relationship and I know it’s one of the reasons why she hasn't said yes to my marriage proposal yet. But I needed to act fast on my plans and they weren’t working. I tried to blame all my suspicious and annoying actions on the love I have for her but she’s beginning to suspect me now. I’m Too foolish to understand that Amira is wise and would never leave her job, hee best friend or Mrs Janet because I asked.
I thought I had it all under control until I knocked on her door the next day and found the whole place scattered, I knew what had happened at once. Have lost my easy chances and the Alpha has finally found her. I hope it’s not true but the big guess is that fact, he didn’t stop searching for her since she left.
I rushed to Diana after calling her for an urgent meeting, it’s high time we both restrategize our plans, I can’t lose Amira. I will die.
