Yourri's POV

Acel shows me a couple of Xana's childhood photos. He was such a cute kid, with his brown curly hair, dimpled cheek and green eyes. I realised that most of the pictures he has were those that were taken with his sister and I think of how sad he must have been when his sister died. She was also very beautiful, I guess it runs in the family.

After looking at the pictures I go to my room. I really miss my mother, I can't wait for her to be back from her trip. I lay down on the bed and the scenes from last night play in my head.

There's a knock on my door startling me a bit. I walk over to open the door, it's Rashid.

"You wanna go out?" He asks smirking

"Yes please" I say without hesitating

"Okay sure, let's go" he says

"Lemme just grab my purse"

I take my brown leather purse and throw in my phone, earpiece, debit card and identification card. By the time I'm out he's already at the end of the hall way. I catch up with him in the car and then we leave. Wasn't I planning on leaving earlier today?

Xana's POV

I leave when I realise it's no use begging grandfather not to show my childhood photos to Yourri. I go to the stables where Aloïse is and find her feeding Barak-Odyssée. She really loves that horse. I slowly creep behind her and then say against her ears, "You almost done?" and she jumps in surprise

I laugh hardly holding my stomach and she glares at me. "You startled me!"

"Sorry" I say and burst into another round of laughter but she doesn't whack me or kick me like Yourri would've. Why am i even thinking about her?

"Whatever, no why do you ask?" She answers taking a lock of hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear.

"Nothing I'm just going to take a nap" I tell her then start biting the inside of my cheek

"Okay " she says and goes back to what she's doing

"You should join me, you look tired" I say softly offering her an opportunity I'd refer to as irresistible.

"Yeah I am, honestly " she pauses, "it took me a while to sleep"

"Likewise and even that I kept on waking up" I sigh. I used to have these horrible nightmares as a kid and they seem to have come back.

"Lemme just finish this okay "As I wait for her, I decide to call Rashid.

"Yo man!" I say when he answers my call.

"Yeah, what's up?" He responds from his end

"Nothing where are you?" I ask

"You finally remember that I exist"
