“Oh..” Was their reply and I am okay with it.Now, to the main purpose of why I brought them here.Betty’s PoV“Hi,” I flip my hair to the back gently. I managed to get Echo’s business number. She is the easiest to talk to among the West siblings. Starting with her first is the best choice. My only choice.“Betty?” She shrieks on the other side just in time for me to drop my humility act.“Hey, girl! Didn’t think you’d recognise my voice!” I smile, excited at her ability to remember after many years.“You tell me...” She chuckles, after which she cleared her throat. “I know you have a reason for calling so let’s not deceive each other. What’s it?”Now that’s the Echo I remember. She was our playmate when we were younger. One day she chose not to associate herself with I and Eros. Although we were understanding but it didn’t make the pain any less.I was hurt and got over it after many years.“Fine! You got me.” I bit my inner cheek

Dalia’s POV“You did it, Dalia!” Emily screamed from the other side of the phone.Yay! I did it... I muttered dryly.“Are you there?” Emily asked after a while. I must have been quiet for too long.“Yeah, yeah. I am happy.”“I know what you are thinking and don’t you dare let it. You’ve done your duty... Let it go.”Is it really my duty? “But,”She didn’t let me finish. “At first I was sceptical about this. Then I noticed you were enjoying yourself. It made you happy and trust me I haven’t seen you as happy as this in a long time. You exceeded our expectations and now the show can go on, don’t think you did it for Eros. You did it for yourself... Even so, I can plan your wedding without any drama!” she adds with a squeal.Well, that was a long speech..“Alright. Enough of the motivation. I guess, I won’t take the credit,” I chuckled bitterly. No one will remember me and I am sure Eros will never know it was me behind the ratings.“But I know.

Third person’s POVDalia was about to retire for the night when she heard a loud humming sound which can only come from a vehicle.The time was 9:34pm.She wasn’t expecting anyone. Gently, Dalia removed the sheets covering her torso and made her way to the sitting room. Not many know of her whereabouts.“Dalia?” Mr. Thompson croaked from the other side of the room.“Go to sleep papa, I am thirsty.”“Okay. Good night dear,”“Good night.” Dalia said, walking towards the kitchen. From the kitchen windows, she could get a better look at who disturbed her sleep. She didn’t want what happened the last time to happen again and with that, she picked a butcher’s knife from the rack.They wouldn’t mess with her this time around.Hearing footsteps, she positioned the knife close to her chest, taking her place behind the front door.Suddenly, a knock was heard.“Who is it?” Dalia whispered carefully.“Dalia, I know it’s you so open the door!” Eros

Dalia’s POV“Ya boy’s so fine..” Nurse Alysha cooed at the pictures of my baby given to me. It is a boy, so the scan says. Emily won the Aunty Em lottery a long time ago. I just didn’t see the need to tell her and for a moment, I wondered why I didn’t tell anyone I know too. Not even Emily. I guess I was too caught up in the circumstances surrounding his coming to my life.I raise my head up. “Nurse, can you keep this in my bag?” I hand her the photos but she looks at me weirdly before collecting them.“I can see some tears in ya eyes. Hope you feeling well?” she asked with a frown in her face. I could only see her mouth moving all over the place due to her southern accent but I couldn’t hear her.“What?” I raise an eyebrow at her stance. She was standing akimbo. Oh,“You aren't feeling well. I’ma call Dr. Ryan. Be right back.” She was about to leave.Uh..? no. I pulled her back. “Nurse Aly? No, there’s no need. I heard what you said the first time. He is so fine, I don’t know who he’

Eros’ POVThe door opened and before I could scold the person, a file was dropped in front of me. I frown before turning to the person who dropped it.Of course, Isaiah. What again?“Everything you need to know about the ghost tech man. Real name, Nick Newton and guess what? He is an only child but has a direct cousin. Emily Newton...”I wave my hands for him to shut up. “I know.”His eyes widened as he spluttered. “You know? And why didn’t you do anything about it?”With my siblings on my heels and my company ablaze? No. I had to set my priorities straight and saving my company first seemed like the most reasonable thing to do before looking for the perpetrator.Now I have time to settle this before the visit with family. I already sent a message to all of them. It isn’t going to be that simple.“Relax, Isaiah.” I say, trying to calm the young man who felt he cared about finding the perpetrator more than I do. I raise an eyebrow as I see the picture of a man walking out of a hotel fr

Dalia’s POV“Dalia! Open up!” I hear at the door. It sounds like a female. A happy female.6:55 am. Such an odd hour.. who dares to wake me up by this time.I grudgingly sat up, preparing to talk down to whosoever stood beside the door. Rubbing my eyes, I make my way blindingly towards the door. Yesterday didn’t go as I had planned and I want today to be even better. I don’t need this.. it’s not healthy for my baby..I removed the locks before opening the door as wide as I could.To my dismay, Emily was the one beside the open door. She was waving a piece of paper to my face. I frown ready to ask her to time it down.But before I could say anything, she pushed past me and I saw my dad behind me. Gosh! She has managed to wake him up with all her yapping.“Dad!” she screamed with a loud voice, throwing her thin arms around him.Dad could only smile. Well, it was wiped off the moment he saw my unimpressed face. I was pissed with her and she didn’t even notice.“How have you been?” she as

Dalia’s POVYes, Emily was that famous. She doesn’t know it? Oh yes she does.“Enough of this. Let’s get ready. I don’t want to arrive late or else Jeffrey will chew my head off.” I say, ignoring the look of surprise on her face.What? Was she expecting me to hate her? She is my sister. She is family.Although I don’t know much about Emily’s family, I do know she is one of us. Dad doesn’t mind. I gave her a sad smile as she composed herself.“Here or mine?” She asked and I know what she is talking about. It was always her place. I could never do well on my own. Not with fashion.“Please, take me to yours.” I paused waiting for her to grab her bags. “No more secrets.”She nods her head in agreement. “no more secrets.”I shove my laptop into her hands as she brings out her phone to give instructions to Chris. I am surprised Chris hasn’t complained about the news. I guess he was also tired of the director’s issues. Ego issues. “I have so much work to do. Jeffrey suddenly asked me to take

Dalia’s POVEmily walked past Nick with a smile and a pat to his shoulders. She had other things to do. She shouldn’t have shown her outfit but that can be fixed. It was among workers so no one is allowed to leak her photo to the public.But if it happens...I beam at Nick who had a weird look of confusion on his face. “Invitation card please?” I wasn’t going to let my feelings for Eros ruin my friendship with Nick. I’ll admit things had been a little awkward between me and him ever since that day but now?I think we are good.I raised an eyebrow in surprise as he brought out the invitation card. It was in a cream coloured envelope. Its outside was sprinkled with gold dust. A cute red ribbon adorned its front page and under it was written in cursive handwriting. To Mr. Nick Newton. It screamed elegance and not everyone got that kind of invitation. The leaders made sure of it and I frowned.How did he get it?Only top business men and women can get their hands on it.

Betty’s POVI have seen her! The one genius who planned a perfect way to steal Eros from me. I hate to admit it but.. she is glowingly beautiful! Wait a minute.. is she pregnant? And who is that Dayum beside here? I lick my lips eyeing blue eyes up and down.Thirty minutes earlier...“Eros? Why are we going to the show five hours earlier?” I asked Eros, not liking the way he has been ignoring me. He just woke up this morning and asked me to get dressed.Thank God I am always prepared for emergencies like this. When he said it last night, I thought he just wanted me to stay and wasn’t serious about the show.But who am I kidding? Eros West is the life of the show. There is no way he was going to miss it. I got dressed, planning to disappear if I saw an opportunity. There is no way I was going to spend four God forsaken hours at a party that hasn’t started.Immediately I got into the car, I couldn’t help but feel that Eros had an ulterior motive by asking me to come for the show. Why ha

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.

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
