Dalia’s PoV

With a permanent smile on my face, I hope I convinced him enough. My hand clutched my bag tighter as I walked into the darkness. I bit my lower lips praying Isaiah insists on driving me home. I am a defenceless pregnant woman. What can possibly go wrong?

Everything.

“Mrs. Thompson!” I hear Isaiah call again from a distance. This time, he is running after me, breathing hard.

“No, ma’am. I insist. I cannot allow you to walk alone this night. Follow me to the car. Dimitri will drop you off.” He pants.

Just how far did I walk for him to insist?

“I-“ I wanted to argue. Where was the fun if I gave in easily? It would seem like I want to sit in the same car as Eros West.

“Mr. West will have my head of you refuse.” He tries again.

That got me puzzled. Why would he have Isaiah’s head? That cannot not happen, can it?

“Why would he have your head?” I chuckle. “alright, of you insist.” I decided, asking him to lead the way.

There was no way I was going to walk down to my street at nig

    Third person’s POVI don’t know about myself. He said I was perfect for the job.”Emily clicked the roof of her tongue because she knew Dalia wasn’t that great in the ‘careful’ department. She gets clumsy when nervous.“Dalia...” Emily emphasized, waiting for what Dalia couldn’t fathom.“I swear that was it. You know what, let me send you the email. I can’t convince you with just my lips.” She replied.Emily shook her head in wonder. “But you know It is going to be tough from now on. You have to do a lot of office stuff with the CEO.”Dalia sighed. “I know and it scares me a bit. But I have you so everything is going to be fine.”“Don’t try to be perfect, You may lose your job. I know Jeffrey and he is a tough boss. Tougher than Chris!” Emily chuckled loudly.Dalia gasped. “Your manager? I need to be careful...”“Yes, you need to be.”After a while, Emily stared at the blank phone in her hands. Just then, her manager was walking past. She gently pushed the lady attending to her face t

    Eros’ POV“Enough!” he declared, causing me to sit down. There was a limit I could go and I still respected my parents.“You have grown, Eros and I am proud of you.” My mother started in a sickly sweet manner. I was sure she is looking for a way to break the ice as everyone had a solemn look on their face.The purpose of the meeting has been discarded because I chose to speak too soon.“You will get married to Vanessa Dave and that is final.” My father added.I roll my eyes. “I am over thirty five, father and I have my empire. You can’t do this.” I stand up, disregarding the look of anger on my father’s face.“It was nice seeing you all again. I think the next meeting will be on thanks giving.” I walk away but paused after I remembered something important. “If the agenda of our meetings remains like this, I won’t come back. Ever again.” I promised without thinking I’d propose to Dalia Thompson. Now, I will be the one raising such agenda again.Terrible mistake.My hands found its way

    Dalia’s POV...As they did nothing to help the situation. I could feel my thighs were bigger than the last time I checked. Were was the hourglass shape Emily claimed I had?They were lost.I couldn’t stop the tears as I thought of how Eros must have thought me unattractive to have such look of disgust on his face.I was wallowing in self pity. Turning away from the mirror was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I stared at the documents on my table. The only thing I need to do is to compile this documents. If I am lucky, I could send it through email instead of printing them out at the office later today.I sniffed, raising a finger to wipe my tears. If I have decided to go all through the pain just for this baby, maybe it would be worth it later on.“I don’t even have a name for you yet...” I thought to myself as I balanced my butt on the sturdy chair. These papers looked enormous but earlier, I had scanned them into the system to make it easier.I was about to turn on my laptop when I

    Dalia’s POVThen I brought my fist down. The screech of agonizing pain he let out satisfied both I and my troubled baby.“That was the pain I felt while laying on that cold floor, you son of a bitch!” I yelled as the surprised officers try to pull me away from him.The man clutched his left eye as agony escaped his lips. “You bitch!”I roll my eyes as the officers both five me warning looks. What did they expect? This man left me on the floor to bleed to death...“Dalia!” I hear my name from the distance and the sound of heels scraping the floor reached my eyes. It made me cringe a little. “Dalia? Dalia oh my God!” I was engulfed in a very big hug by a very worried looking Emily.Yeah, I asked for my phone and dialled her number immediately.Now here she is smothering the heck out of me. “wait..” I try to stop her. The pain was getting fuller but I need to go to the hospital fast.“What are you doing? Take her to the hospital!” Emily screams at the officers who were trying their best

    Dalia’s PoVI should have told him on time not to let Eros know about it. He must think he is doing me a favour by calling Eros to the hospital. Who told him he was my fiancée in the first place? Blame it on Eros...“Why do you always cause trouble? How can a pregnant woman attack a burglar? You should have hidden or something other than this! You could have lost the baby because you wanted to play the hero.”I bowed my head as guilt washed over my system.“It has been taken care of Boss.” Dimitri’s voice interrupted the cold air.What has been taken care of?I look up to see Dimitri looking at me apologetically. Maybe he wished to have stayed with me for the night. Who knew people were aware of my meeting with Eros? This must be what Eros and Emily faced everyday.Eros nods his head in approval and glares back to me. “You will stay in my mansion from now on. I can believe this...” he says before walking out of the hospital and Dr. Ryan pursuing after him.What just happened and why i

    Dalia’s POV…picking those last words. Does Eros have another girlfriend or fiancé? “Bethany who?”Dimitri shakes his head as if to stop himself from revealing even more dangerous secrets. “Bethany Wood is Mr. West’s guest. That is all you need to know ma’am.” He completes. “Come, let me show you to your room.”Halfway down the hall, a door was open and I could see him. Through the small opening I could see him holding a glass of juice with his other hand holding a phone close to his ears. He was wearing something so casual and it made me wonder if I would ever get used to seeing him dress in just a tee-shirt and shorts that showed off his powerful tanned legs.Just then, he chose to turn around and our eyes met. It was there I knew it wasn’t a dream. Eros West held me earlier with those big hands of his. His eyes said it all. The moment I couldn’t read the emotion on his face that was the moment I knew living with Eros might be worth it.It isn’t going to be easy.Eros’ POvEarlier t

    Eros’ POV“whoa, whoa, whoa... Where do you think you are going?” I hear Emily say as I walked into the VIP hall. Dr. Ryan must have felt the need to impress me as he made sure to put Dalia where she won’t be disturbed. I scoff at the realisation that he must still remember the last time we came here for a paternity test.“I couldn’t submit the compilation of the teams work to Jeffrey, Eros told me to be available for Dimitri.. I am screwed Emily.”Dalia’s worried voice filled the room. I paused for a while making sure to compose myself before I walked into the room. The tension in the room was suffocating but everything stood still when Dalia raised her beautiful eyes to meet mine.I have to reassure her. She looks terribly worried. The need to reassure her became pressing as I couldn’t tear my gaze from hers.“You don’t have to worry about any of that.” I say to calm her down. The blood drained from her face and for a moment there I expected her to faint. Is she that surprised to se

It made them realize that messing with Eros wasn’t worth it.The door beeped open and a bowl filled with water and clean rag was brought in. Blood splattered from Stanley’s mouth and Eros slightly shifted before it could stain his clothes. He would need a shower before seeing Dalia. This wasn’t the side he wanted anyone to know of him.“I am really sorry sir.” Stanley pleads as his eyes rolls to the back of his head in pain.Eros washed his hands in the bowl presented to him before wiping it clean with the towel. “Have you heard of Hera West?”Stanley nods his head as who doesn’t know the best seamstress in the city. It was said that her works were made with gifted hands. She had many people who competed just for her to make their clothes. She knew how to design different cultural attires with her hands rather than using machines. Not that she didn’t use them but it was al

    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.

    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

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
