Under His Protection
Butterfly 1
Amara's (Female main lead) POV
The sun is shining brightly today
It’s hurting my eyes. I pull the curtain to prevent that annoying sunlight entering in my room. God knows when sunlight will enter in my life and save me from this darkness.
I am fed up and I have already given up the hope that one day I will get my parent's love.
I am going to another city for my college. Furthermore, I don’t want to leave from here, from my house, this is my comfort place.
Still, I need to go to follow my parents order who come to see me once in six months. If you hated being a parent so much, then why did you even give birth to a child?
My vision got blurry as my eyes were filled with tears.
I didn’t realize when I stepped into the bathroom until I looked in the mirror. I take a quick shower and wear my favorite dress.
I stood in front of the mirror and sighed as it’s the last time I am doing this.
I pick up the mascara and applied it to my eyelashes.
A new chapter is going to be opened in my life today. It can be fantastic or terribly bad. I don’t have many expectations, just don’t be so bad that I can’t handle.
I wear light makeup and put on my favorite perfume. It’s a fruity smell that I absolutely love!
I looked at my reflection on the mirror and saw those green eyes stare back at me.
I can hear the maids’ voices in my head. ‘Look, she looks like a witch!’ ‘A witch!’
And some memories flashed before my eyes making me breathless.
4 years old Amara is sitting near the head maid and she is reading a story for her.
The head maid: And the witch captivated the princess in her castle. (Holding a storybook in her hands)
4 years old Amara: What is a wi-witch, aunt?
The head maid: A witch is a woman who has magical power and practices black magic. She is an evil lady because she performs this to harm people.
Amara is looking at the head with her big green eyes and nods.
4 years old Amara: What does she look like?
Another maid hears her while passing by. She stops and comes near them.
The head maid: Witches look ugly. They have rough skin, long dirty nails and scary green eyes.
Amara clings to the head maid as she is frightened
Another maid: Yeah, they have green eyes just like yours! (Said with a smile)
4 years old Amara: Wha..at?
The head maid smiles and holds Amara close to her.
4 years old Amara: Am I a wi-witch? (Gets up suddenly and asks with a trembling voice)
All the maids laugh hearing little Amara's words.
A maid: You have green eyes too, so maybe yes? (Giggles) Maybe your nails will become long and dirty once you grow up!
All the maids around her laugh not noticing how much they are scaring the little girl. She is taking all of their jokes as the truth.
Her whole body starts trembling and she looks at her hands as if she is seeing them for the first time.
She screams in horror and runs toward her room. She closes the door of her room with a loud thud and all the maids stop laughing.
I immediately grabbed the case of my contact lenses and put on brown colored contact lenses that perfectly hide my green eyes.
I am used to it now. I have been doing this for more than 10 years.
I hear the sound of the horn and quickly grab my mini bag.
I run toward the door as fast as I can as I was hearing the sound of the horn. Someone is pressing the horn very irritatedly.
I come out of my house panting and see a matte black Lamborghini in front of me.
But is that the driver? I don’t think so.
I keep staring at the guy sitting in the driving seat and see him clenching his jaw in annoyance.
I quickly sit in the car and the butler uncle put my luggage in the back of the car.
The butler uncle bows before the car started moving. Butler uncle never bows to me, is it for him?
I peek at him and find him wearing a black hoodie with black jeans.
There are many tattoos on his hand. He is around 23-25 years old.
He doesn't look like a driver nor is he dressed like one. Then who is he?
Butterfly 2
Aster Smith's (Male main lead) POV
I am sitting in my car and waiting in front of Aymaan uncle's mansion for his daughter to come.
How long is she gonna take? God! I hate waiting for someone! I never wait for anyone but this girl is making me wait on the very first day.
God knows what else I will have to do for the sake of her. Her name is Amara, right?
Amara Miller. How is she going to be? Stubborn and rude most probably. After all, she is from a mafia family.
I press the horn once again and a girl comes out of the mansion running.
She is the girl I am waiting for? Are you kidding me?
She is wearing a white dress with a baby pink color flower printed on it and a pink mini bag in her hands. Her ginger long hair is open.
She is the total opposite of what I thought she was going to be.
She quickly sits beside me in the car and I start the car without sparing her a "proper" glance.
I can look at others without being noticed, after all, I am a man.
-----------------------------------
I am driving the car and I don't know why she is staring at my face. Does she want to say something?
I clench my jaw in annoyance and look at her for two seconds.
She quickly bend her head and look down. How naive! You think I didn't notice that you were staring at me the whole time?
I again look in front of us and talk to her without turning my head toward her.
Aster Smith
I am Aster. Aster Smith. You will be staying at my place.
I can feel her gaze on me. She is confused, scared, and shocked all at once.
I look at her with frowning eyebrows and find her looking here and there. Is she planning to jump out of my car? Seriously?
Aster Smith
Why don't you call your dad and talk with him?
I said in a deep voice without looking at her.
I don't understand why she is sitting quietly.
Aster Smith
You don't have a phone? (Raised an eyebrow)
She simply shakes her head as a no. My lips curved into a subtle smile after hearing her.
I take out my phone from the pocket and give it to her.
---------------------------------------
Amara Miller
Hello, dad. (Nervous)
Aymaan Miller
Princess! How are you baby? Have Aster reached already?
Amara Miller
I am good, dad. You..(Looks at Aster once then looks in front of her) You told me that I will be staying in hostel for college.
She said in a low voice while clenching her fist in anxiety.
Aymaan Miller
Yes, but Aster's mansion is near to college. He is your uncle, Aiden's son. You may not remember him as you were only 3 years old when you last see him.
Amara Miller
But, hostel..(Got cut)
Aymaan Miller
The food of hostel is not healthy and you are used to live in a mansion. How are you going to sleep in the same room with 6 other girls?
She bites her lower lip and looks down. Her heartbeat fasten just by thinking that she is going to live with a boy.
Aster Smith
(Looking at her through the mirror) *She is kinda cute!*
Aymaan Miller
And about Aster, he will take good care of you.
Amara Miller
(Sighs) Okay, dad. Bye, take care.
Aymaan Miller
Bye, princess. (Hangs up)
She gives him the phone back and says 'thank you' in a low voice.
He doesn't reply nor does he smile.
They reach Aster's mansion. It's his private mansion that he built with his own earned money.
They step out of the car. Amara stretches her arms and runs inside the mansion not caring about the guy who is standing behind her dumbfounded.

Butterfly 3
Aster's car stops in front of his mansion
They step out of the car. Amara stretches her arms and runs inside the mansion not caring about the guy who is standing behind her dumbfounded.
Aster moves his fingers signaling two guards and they run toward his car.
Aster starts walking toward the mansion and his two guards are following him while carrying Amara's luggage.
Aster comes inside and finds Amara standing in the middle of his mansion and looking here and there.
Amara Miller
(Turns around to Aster) Where is my room?
Aster signals a guard and goes to Amara after bowing to him.
Guard
Ma'am, this way, please.
Amara nods and goes behind the guard.
Aster feels something near his shoe when he is about to walk toward his study room.
He looks down and sees a diary. It's pink and decorated with many cute stickers.
He picks it up and his lips curve into a smile subconsciously.
Aster Smith
*Pink, pink, and pink!*
He takes it with him and goes to his study room.
Amara is in her room. Her room is different from all the other rooms. It's white. There are many expensive clothes, skin care products, and makeup in the closet.
Aster is sitting on the chair. A lot of dishes are in front of him on the table.
He said in his deep voice and a guard bowed before going upstairs, in Amara's room to call her.
Amara comes after a few minutes in a jolly mood and sits beside him.
Amara Miller
I think I haven't told you my name yet.
Aster Smith
Amara. Amara Miller.
He says in his deep voice while looking into her eyes.
She blinks thrice in surprise and gulps down her saliva before looking forward to trying to act normal.
The head maid serves both of them food.
Aster notices that she is only staring at the food, not eating.
Aster Smith
You don't like fish? (Raised an eyebrow)
Amara Miller
I am..I am not hungry. (Suddenly stands up)
Aster looks at her in a confused state and she shakes her head as a no with a smile on her face.
Amara Miller
You eat. I am not hungry.
Before he can say anything she runs to her room and locks it.
Aster Smith
*She didn't even touch the food. All the foods are fish dishes tonight. Does she not like fish?* Aunt, tell the chef to make pasta for her and give it to her.
Head Maid
Yes, young master. (Bows)
