Free Web NovelChapter 163: The Precious Gift
Zyair reached out in his other pocket and extracted a small cubical box with a red ribbon attached to it. The box seemed to have been created from some kind of white and blue crystalline material for it shone brightly.
He placed it on his palm and extended it towards a bewildered-looking Skyla.
"Open it," he asked in a soft voice. Skyla’s eyes twinkled with excitement as her trembling fingers held the hem of the ribbon and unfurled it. It came undone and fell on his hand. She nervously picked up the lid and curiously peeked inside.
A hairpin similar to one he had gifted her before but slightly different in design and gemstones lay inside it. The rubies and sapphires pristinely embedded in it reflected the light and gave off an iridescent glow.
"OMG, my pin," she cried out in excitement and extracted it from the box. The million-dollar smile on her face was what he needed to see. Elation bubbled in her heart as she fervently kissed it. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"You like it?" He iffily asked, observing her reactions with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I am in love with it, thank you," Skyla turned and threw her arms around Zyair, tightly shackling him to herself. He boisterously laughed at her show of affection and returned it by rubbing her back.
She finally let him go and requested with her ethereal face illuminating like a rosy-hued flower.
"Put it on me."
He grinned, "It will be my pleasure."
Zyair took it from her and unlocked it. Using his austere fingers he stylishly combed her slightly curly locks back and placed the pin in her hair, securely locking it in. He smothered her hair.
"There you go, all beautiful," he informed her. She couldn’t peel her eyes off him. Every action of this man stole a piece of her heart and she was soon to be left with none.
"I won’t let anyone take it from me now," she announced with a determined look descending in her eyes.
"I know my love." Zyair picked up her dress and carefully helped her get dressed, "I didn’t want to overwhelm you because this was such a tough day for you, Sky. But next time I won’t let any piece of fabric remain on your body," he told her in the whispy breath which made her skin tingle in the most delectable way.
Little did he know she was burning with lustful desires deep under. She fervently blinked back at him and gulped down.
Grabbing his shirt Skyla helped him slip it on and she closed all the buttons just the way she had opened them. None of them saw the other’s back for now.
Parting from the other was a painful task.
Zyair waited until Lawrence came to pick Skyla up, he helped her get in the car and watched with upset eyes as he drove away, before getting into his and doing the same. He had a lot to deal with at home and he still had a case to win against Doran.
The next few days were about to be so busy for him and he knew he wouldn’t be able to see or meet her.
***
Skyla, Huria, Lawrence and Mawar had a party at Huria’s place that night. They ordered pizza and drinks. Huria opened all the liquor bottles she had and put on the blasting music.
"It’s not like every day my best friend gets a divorce from her douche husband and is liberated," she announced, popping the champagne bottle.
Others cheered and raised their glasses. Huria placed the bottle to her lips and gulped down as Lawrence invited her to dance with him. Soon both of them were dancing like crazy while Skyla and Mawar were laughing seeing them.
Mawar then turned to face Skyla.
"I am sorry Sky, I didn’t know you were in such a tough spot. I am so glad you divorced that asshole." She took Skyla’s hand in hers and squeezed making Skyla sadly smile at her.
"I wasn’t confident enough to talk about it or take this step. Until it got too much for me to handle. It feels good to be free."
"I so want to punch his face, he always acted so haughty in front of the media. I wish he could rot in jail forever." Mawar shook her head in disappointment.
The news of Doran’s imprisonment and divorce had spread all over the mainstream media and people were picking sides. It had come as a shock to many that he was an abuser.
"Hopefully, he will lose the case against Mr Zyair as well." Skyla was so looking forward to that now, more jail time meant she could live without fear.
"Yes, Mr Zyair will get him. He was a fool to mess with our boss. I am sure Sir is going to take away his company as compensation."
Skyla picked up her glass and clinked it with Mawar.
"Let’s drink to that." Skyla victoriously smiled and both women drank.
Huria dragged them out of their seats and urged them to dance the night away with her.
The party extended till late in the night until everyone was dead tired. Mawar and Lawrence left after hugging Skyla while Huria crumbled on the sofa, too tired from all her dancing and shouting.
Skyla slumped near her and Huria placed her head on Skyla’s shoulder and closed her eyes before asking.
"Did you get that kiss or not?"
Skyla’s insides clenched and more colour appeared on her cheeks as she was reminded of her afternoon shenanigans. She could still feel his lingering lips and the way they had tasted.
Skyla’s hand shifted to her lips and her heart craved the feelings he invoked. He was everything she had ever dreamt about, everything and so much more and yet all he had done was kiss her. Just thinking about the pleasures he would provide had her core clenching.
"Yes, I did. And it was the best kiss of my life," she told Huria with a satisfied smile.
Huria was too drowsy by that point but she still cheered for her friend raising her fist.
"Yahh, you go girl. Finally, you are going to get some," she sleepily said.
Skyla shyly laughed while Huria escaped to sleep land.
