Dalia's PoV"I miss you even now." Jeffery muttered and I could see how much he did. His eyes held so much regret. I nearly laughed at the irony. He looked around. "But look how well you have done. You are handling a team now and I can tell it wasn't easy getting here."I chuckled at his assumption. Of course it wasn't easy even as the wife of a billionaire. Eros would never give it to me if he knew I was going to mess it up. I just took up the position to make myself relevant. The fact I am pregnant doesn't mean I am immobile. The earlier Eros and Betty get it into their head, the better."I am married to Eros West," I choose to say instead. "How hard did you think it was?"Jeffrey clapped his hands in appreciation. "Bullshit. You don't like privileges. Remember the time I hired you? You asked me a million times why."I grinned as I recalled those times too. It wasn't far from then but I relished those days when I worked with Jeffrey and got to travel to different places. "Heavily pr

Eros' POV"Isaiah! My office now!" I yelled, jolting Isaiah from his work daze. He jumped into my office immediately. It suddenly felt too hot. I quickly removed the jacket causing it.It still felt hot. It only meant the jacket wasn't the problem. The problem was me and how Dalia talked me down in the office. I think she knows my weakness.She knows my reputation is my weakness. I will do anything to save it and now she is trying to ruin it by involving Nick. Is he the only one with sufficient knowledge on the project? It would be nice to have him on our side but he's already in my bad books and I can't wait for him to experience the consequences of his recent actions.Nick Newton? She is toying with me! I know how desperate I want this project to work but not at the expense of allowing a bitch into my company. He once tried to set my company on fire, he is the reason why I am going through this right now.How did she get to know he was the ghost tech man?I glared at Isaiah who just

Third person's point of view."Why can't you believe me?" Nick asked with his eyes a little teary. It didn't faze Emily one bit. She was even eying him skeptically.Hera had suddenly found the kitchen more interesting but her ears never stopped to listen to what Emily and her cousin discussed. How privileged she is to be listening in on their awkward conversation."I can't believe you because I know you, Nick. You don't do things by mistake." snapped Emily. She wasn't in the mood for his bullshit. He could sit on her couch all day and tell her lies and she would sit all day on her couch, opposite him and listen, not believing one shit about it. "We grew up together. At some point, we grew apart. I will ask you once again. Why?"Nick sighed. He should have known his clever cousin wouldn't believe him. She has always been like that. Always suspecting what wasn't there. It was a pity her parents weren't there to see how far their daughter has grown. Instead of a modeling career why not a

Emily frowned at the realization. It meant Dalia was still safe. He wouldn't do anything to her for now. Besides, Eros will be there to protect her. The ball is in Dalia's hands now. She has to choose. Eros or Nick. Of course, she knew about the fake love Dalia and Eros convinced the onlookers about.Hera suddenly jerked her head up. "Is he gone?" She asked softly.Emily patted her head. "You slept throughout."Hera closed her eyes in frustration. "I didn't want to. I just couldn't fight it."Emily smirked as they both looked at the cup of tea that was now cold. "You almost hit your head. Why not go and rest. You have a meeting tomorrow.""Will I see you after?" Hera asked hopefully. Their relationship was still a secret. She was a bit glad, Emily didn't mention anything about her cousin disapproving of their relationship.Emily sat on the chair opposite as she contemplated whether to see the clingy woman. She knew she was the setback in their relationship. She was the one who drew ba

Third's person's POV."Boss, I was thinking of including a fair game." Sara presented to Eros at the second board meeting with the team leaders."Let technology rule!" A man chipped in.Dalia beamed at the team. "You know what? After all this, we should hang out. Dinner?"Anthony, who was the leader of the tech team, snapped his fingers in agreement. "Barbeque?" He asked his colleagues, and they all raised their hands in agreement.Eros cleared his throat, and everyone dropped their hands. Dalia sighed at the suddenly cold room. She knew that they all felt like themselves around her. He always managed to ruin their playful mood with his cold attitude. "We haven't implemented our plans, yet. So no eating until then. Everyone is staying overtime. No excuses."With a scowl, Sara closed her file with a thud. "We haven't had time for dinner as colleagues. We are halfway there…"Eros hissed in irritation. "You cannot go without me!"Dalia cleared her throat the same way he did and they all

"Bethany Woods!" Eros called. You couldn't hear his voice, but Dalia could read his lips. It was what he always called her. Bethany woods. It wasn't in a spiteful way. His eyes looked happy. Really happy."I brought dinner. I guessed you would be working overtime tonight, so I decided to help you." She was putting on sweaters and sweatpants. What a crazy combination! Even though it was good, Dalia still saw it as crazy. She wasn't a happy woman as she watched them. Doesn't she know Eros' dark sides? Does he really show this rainbow and sunshine to her and leave the parts that haunted his life behind? Or do they both pretend there is nothing but happiness in their lives?Dalia shook her head as she pressed the button for the first floor. The last thing she saw as the elevator closed was the two of them laughing hard at whatever she prepared. Dalia banged her head softly against the hard walls of the elevator. Eros hasn't tasted her food before. She has never had to work since she offic

Dalia wanted to enter the kitchen when she was stopped by two women and a man with stern gazes. They obviously didn't approve of what she wanted to do."I have done what you wanted. Can't I have fifteen minutes in the kitchen? It's been a while you know." She whined. When she made it known to the house maids that she wanted to prepare breakfast for Eros before going out, they had fawned over her.They asked that she let them arrange her cooking ingredients, asked what food she wanted to make and if she had checked the baby for the fifth time today.The sun hasn't risen yet.They all gave themselves worried glances. "We are worried about the boss. We don't know what he might do to us if he learns of this." One of the women spoke. Dalia could hardly tell the difference between the two women."You will be fine. I cannot allow another woman to bring breakfast and dinner to my husband at work. I will cook for him. Now move." She warned sternly. Immediately they gave way for her to pass.D

Eros' POVBetty's food was just as I expected. Bland.With the way Dalia was staring at me, I knew she wouldn't let me go without tasting her food. Just what have I put myself into?I pulled the food basket closer to me. To be frank, I can't wait to taste the food. It smelled so nice. I gently removed the box and placed it on the table. Then I opened the cover, nodding when the aroma warmed my face.From the corner of my eye, I watched her glare at Betty. She wasn't looking at me. It was pasta and chicken. Simple dish. easy to prepare.I dipped my fork, rolling it gently. Just a bite, and the flavors burst into the different sections of my mouth. It's been a while since I've had homemade food like this. I turned to Dalia, speechless. Words couldn't describe what I felt."Do you like it?" She asked softly. Her facial expression was kind, unlike the harsh expressions I have been exposed to. Could this mean something?I grabbed the tissue inside the basket, wiping my mouth. "I am surpri

Dalia's POVThe days went by pretty fast. One afternoon, I was in the hospital, and the next, we were on our way to the West mansion. Eros didn't have to send a message like he usually did."You didn't leave the baby in the house, did you?" I asked Eros who looked better than he did a month ago. He barked out a laugh. "What? I already tucked her in."I sighed in relief. It happened sometimes because we were too preoccupied with each other. If Emily learns of this, she will take the baby from us permanently. I smiled at the thought.We were still in the first paragraph of the chapter. It was beautiful, just like I had always wanted. One time, I heard the maids discussing Betty. What she did when I wasn't around was nasty.Why would she seduce Eros? It was there that I learned that Eros had slept with her one drunken night. My heart sank at the discovery, but it was a long time ago. A long time, yet Eros hasn't said anything about it. Hold on a minute. I don't go about telling him abou

He had received the divorce papers, but they weren't signed. Good.Eros jumped at the vibration of his phone. He hoped it was good news. Then he frowned when he saw Emily plastered across the screen. He picked it up immediately. She hasn't spoken to him in a long time. He knew the reason."Dalia got into an accident. I will send you the address." She hung up and Eros panicked. He tried the number again, but it went straight to voicemail. Then the message came in. She was in Spain! He didn't mind. He would meet her anywhere. All he wanted was for her and the baby to be fine.The maids watched with hands folded as he turned the house upside down while preparing for the journey.They no longer saw Bethany Woods because they overheard Eros rejecting her during a heated moment. He said he loved Dalia and she was his wife. Betty had left with anger. Now, she has lost Eros as a friend too.***********It was a drunken mistake. Nick had swerved right into an upcoming truck. She had been lucky

It was a month until Thanksgiving. It's been two months since Dalia left the house. She didn't even take her belongings except for her phone.She had left his black card on the bed.Eros was a mess. He had gotten thinner. His eyes sank in. He was a shadow of himself. He didn't think she would take his words seriously and disappear for two months. There were no pictures, no news, nothing!His phone vibrated. It was the officer who caught the burglar months ago. Adkins. "Have you found her?""No." came his disappointing reply.It has been like that. Every call was disappointing.When Eros arrived at the office, he didn't know that all eyes were on him, watching his every mood. His staff avoided him like the plague. Not because he was angry, but because of how tired he sounded and looked."Jeez." Sara muttered under her breath. She was consoling Tracy. Her boss won't be coming to the office forever! Or so she thought. "I don't know what to do." She was thinking of calling Jeffrey, but it

The letters! Dalia mentally facepalmed. She should have kept it well. Away from Betty's hideous eyes. She thought she had them hidden.Eros' face was ashen in color and when he didn't say anything in reply, it occurred to Dalia that he already knew about it. Her heart sank deeper. She didn't think about telling him because it was nothing. Maybe when they went to the office the next-day, she would have told him about Nick. Only if he asked!A loud knock on the door pulled Dalia out of her thoughts. Eros sighed, making his way upstairs. "They are here again. Increasing by the minute all because of my foolish wife."'he called me his wife' Dalia realized with sadness. It was at that moment she knew that she fucked up. Now she has Eros in a tight spot. He may not look like it but Eros was enraged. It's just that he just apologized to her yesterday so it seemed like he was tired instead."I am sorry!" Dalia cried out. She didn't know what to say that would soothe him.Eros paused on the se

Dalia paced the room up and down. She was restless and could not place her butt somewhere. "Pick up, Emily!" She gritted out. How did it happen? Nick only grabbed her because she was about to leave! They were not doing anything like whosoever that took the picture was suggesting!Emily picked up at the third ring. "What the hell? Dalia!""Emily! What should I do? I know everyone has seen the picture. I don't think Eros should see it.""Eros should never see it. Go and see for yourself and make sure he doesn't have his phone around him."Dalia nodded, opening her door. She was down the stairs in a flash. "What should I do if he has already seen the picture?""I don't know. You love him, I don't." Emily's downcast voice dampened Dalia's spirit.Dalia could imagine her friend shrugging in helplessness. "I swear, it was a mistake!" She was still explaining to her dearest friend when she saw Eros with his phone. He wasn't looking at it but beyond it. He was looking at her. He knew about th

Dalia's POv.The next morning…I arrived just in time to see Tracy drop another letter on my desk. What is it this time around?! The letters were getting frequent! I am not in the mood for his pranks and silly antiques.I dismissed her quickly, snatching up the letter.I tore it open expecting to find cheesy lines, but I didn't see any."Come to the park by 7:00 p.m.; I have a surprise for you." Why would Eros ask me to come to the pack when he snubbed me on his way to work this morning. What surprise does he have for me? I folded the piece of paper in anger, dumping it into the trash bin.Tracy walked in with a cup of coffee. Just what I needed for my already puffy eyes. "Not in the mood? I have got just the right thing for you." She subtly eyed the dark shades sitting on my nose.I have nothing to say to her.I left work early because, I mean, who can stop me from leaving whenever I want to? Not even Eros, because I am pissed at him.The park was almost empty. It was evening, and

Dalia's POVShe was always right.My dear Emily.Why is she friends with someone as daft as me? She told me to confront Eros about Betty because she was biting more than she could chew. I have decided to take the bull by the horn today.I need to hear from his mouth whether he loves her or not. If he says he loves her, I will move out of the way, give birth to my baby, and divorce him. The baby won't have to live his life thinking he was born out of wedlock. When it comes to custody of the child, I won't allow him to get away with his misdeeds.The drive home was quiet as usual as I mused over the things Emily told me that afternoon. She expressed her anger for Betty and wished she met the bitch one more time. Her words, not mine.I entered the house to see Eros in aprons. He greeted me with a small smile, which made me confused. He has never smiled like this at me. The last time I saw him smile, only in a bigger version, was with Betty! My mood was already sour and damp."Your food m

Dalia's pOV. I found Emily later that afternoon slurping down her lunch. She had consumed two bowls already. It was noodles and boiled egg. Rosalind's Diner was an old Korean diner that specializes in homemade noodles. I almost snorted when she raised her messy face. A noodle got stuck at the side of her chin. Today she was putting on a blue belly blouse that revealed her smooth arms and palazzo jeans. From where I stood, I could see her belly button and her shaved armpit when she drank from the plate. "Eating lunch without me." Emily paused only to look at me before going back to her meal. "That's why I suggested this place." She said with mouth full. She looked wicked whenever she did that. "And I foolishly agreed with you." I turned to the woman sitting behind the counter. "A bowl of noodles and fried egg. Add extra spring onions, and chili." At the look of her confused face, I pointed at my baby bump. A look of realization clouded the form
