In Your Arms   Epilogue

After 20 years Xavier "Where you guys are?" "We will be in ten minutes papa, Xaiden is taking time and I don't know where he went." "Hurry up before your mama and sister come. Your mama will be getting angry if you guys are late, don't expect me to help you both like last time." "Yeah...Yeah... You went home early without telling me." "Were you with me to tell you that I'm going home." "He is here, will see you papa." Just when Nikolai ended the call my wife Elora and my sixteen-year-old daughter Xahria entered the hall with their bags. "Papa! you came home early!" Xahria yelled happily rushing towards me throwing her bags on the floor. I hugged her tightly when she wrapped both of her arms around me. "Can't wait to see my baby." I told her and s

Elora I opened my eyes when I felt someone trace their fingers on my face. Sleepily I looked at Xavier who sat on the vanity chair adjacent me. "When did you wake up?" I asked him. "Five o'clock." I turned to the left side where our clock is. "Why did you woke up so early?" "I made us breakfast and you need to take your tablets." I smiled at him, opening my arms I gestured him to come closer. He took the place beside me while I wrapped my arms around him. I placed a kiss on his head while he placed his hand on my little bump. "You are the best husband do you know that." I tell him as he turned on his sideways and hugged me caringly. "You are the best that ever happened in my life, love." Xavier is now going through a very emotional rollercoaster ride. When the news of my pregnancy confirmed he became very emotion

Elora "You want another one?" I asked Cyrus who is eating his breakfast. "Two." "Five minutes." I smiled at him as he is trying to come out of his solitude. It's not easy to mend with others so quickly when your heart is hurt. "You aren't even caring me, I sat here for ten minutes and you didn't even ask me whether I need another one." Xavier complained with a pouting face. "I taught you this recipe Xavier, make for yourself." I place the hot dosa on Cyrus plate while Cyrus chuckled seeing Xavier's face. "I'm going to get ready. I don't wanna talk with you both." Xavier said dramatically leaving the kitchen while I and Cyrus rolled our eyes. "You are meeting them?" Cyrus questioned. "Yes." "I don't think Xavier would be happy knowing about that." "I w

Elora "I can't find this kid." "Let me see." I showed the photo of the kid to Xavier who was laying beside me. While he was looking at the kid I tied my hair into a bun. "He must've changed his name, I will share this photo with my hacker. He will be emailing you rest of the details." "I need to travel if I want to meet them." I tell him. "You are not going to travel alone." "But Xavier I really don't need any bodyguards. I know self-defence." "I can't take a risk when it comes to you. Take four of my men with you or you aren't going." he removed my hair from the bun. "Fine." I say wrapping my arms around his torso while he massaged my head. We are back to London and Xavier showed me his childhood mansion where we are staying now. From now on this is our home and I'm very

Elora"Did you printed the list?""Yup, staple it. I mentioned the page number on the right side." Sitara put those papers on my table while I went through the emails.

EloraI hummed to the soft tune of the song playing in the background as our taxi driver drove us to our home, I’m sitting in between Xavier and Sitara as we three decided to surprise mumma. She doesn’t know we are coming home.

Elora “Aren’t you going back home?” David asked as I stayed quiet. I don’t wanna talk with anyone. David came in the morning to see me when I didn't respond to his messages. "Not now." I reply to him.

XavierI stared blankly at the wall, I can hear the distant voices of Cyrus speaking with Hunter and other men. Papers are flying on the desk, I put the heavy object on them to prevent them from flying. "Sir, these are the files you asked for and this

Elora I woke up to the sound of Xavier's silent murmurs. I tried to open my eyes and see what he is up to. The bright sunlight blinded my eyes for a second before I shielded the sunlight by putting my hand up. Our bed is a mess a
