last update Last Updated: 2023-04-29 17:22:11

Talon's POV

The next day when Naya was about to go out of bed, I stopped her. I didn’t want her to get up from bed since she seemed pale.

“I’m not letting you out of this bed till you tell me the truth. Why were you crying yesterday? Or, did you think that I didn’t find out? I saw it all. I even tried to speak to you but you totally ignored me. I’m interested in knowing what made you react that way. You need to tell me everything. Don’t hide a thing from me,” I said.

“I wasn’t hiding anything from you,” she said coldly.

“There you go again. Why are you trying to lie to me? Do I seem that dumb to you? I saw everything you did. You just need to tell me the truth. What were you hiding from me the whole of last night? Why didn’t you want me to read the mail?”

“It’s alright, Talon. You win! I’d tell you everything.”

“Please, do.”

“What I was hiding had to do with the hospital. I just wasn’t sure if I wanted you to see it just yet. But, since you’ve insisted to see it, I guess I’ll just let

    Talon’s POVI knew I had to be proactive about Naya's pregnancy. I didn't want to take any chances, and I wanted to make sure she was healthy and safe. So, without her knowing, I went to the hospital to get some advice from the doctor. The doctor gave me a list of precautions that Naya needed to take, and I made a mental note of everything. I knew I had to take care of her and our unborn child, and I wasn't going to let anything happen to them. I had to do my best to ensure that they were always okay. I knew that if I had told Naya that I was going to the hospital, she would’ve hesitated. I made sure that I got acquainted to the long list of things the doctor told me to give to her. One of such things was quality rest, and I was willing and ready to give her as much rest as possible. I was just so eager to meet my first child that I forgot about everything else. What I kept thinking about was the baby and Naya. After my conclusions with the doctor, I made sure to return back to the

    Naya's POVI was surprised as Talon rattled off the precautions we needed to take to ensure my safety. He had clearly done his research and knew exactly what to do to protect me and our unborn child. But despite his efforts, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was burdening him. I honestly wanted to know how he got so good in the precautionary methods he was taking, but I didn’t know how I was going to ask him. I felt that it would steer up some sort of argument. I didn’t want to get into any fights with Talon. I just wanted us to live in peace and harmony. I liked how things had been moving smoothly with Talon and I. I saw the niceness in him that I had never seen before. And, I wasn’t willing to take him for granted, especially after what he had done for me. I didn’t want to feel too entitled even if I was carrying his child.So, I sat him down and told him everything. How I felt like a weight on his shoulders, how I didn't want to hold him back. Talon was hurt by my words, and

    Eric's POVI sat in my room, deep in thought about the property. It had been on my mind for weeks, and I couldn't seem to shake it. I just couldn't forget how Talon and Naya had deceived me without a single thought. If Talon had not lied to me, the property would’ve been his a long time ago, but he did lie. I didn’t want to make a mistake in handing over the property to just anyone. I admit that Nelson was my son, but I just felt like he wasn’t the perfect match for the property. I felt like he wasn’t ready to handle what lies ahead. He had been so desperate in having the property to the extent that he had grown to hate me fot not handing over the property to him. Talon on the other hand had kept a low profile since his fight with Nelson. He didn’t say a word to me, just like I said none to him too. But, who really was going to be fit to handle the property? Was it Talon whom I had lost faith in? Or, was it Nelson the over ambitious son of mine? Or, perhaps an outsider? Just as I w

    Naya's POVTalon and I had finally managed to get to the Thwaites mansion. It wasn’t an easy decision for us to make, but we ensured that we made it to the dinner. I was dressed in a green flowing gown with a white semi-heeled shoe to match. I made an extremely light makeup and I combed my hair to the back. Talon on the other hand wore a neat and shiny black suit. I’m pretty sure that he wanted to impress his dad with his dress sense. After all, his dad had not seen him that way for a while, ever since he cut Talon off. We had a little chit chat before we proceeded to go to the mansion. Talon had told me to stay calm and not forget that he was going to be there for me if I ever had difficulty speaking up. He made it clear to me that he cared about me and the baby and didn’t want to stress me out. We promised each other to leave the mansion immediately if the place ever got too stuffy or toxic. I had thought that I was the only one who was tense, but Talon seemed to be more anxious

    Naya’s POVTalon and I left Eric's house feeling relieved and happy. I could sense that Talon was proud of me for making the announcement about our pregnancy, and it made me feel even more grateful for him.“I really appreciate what you did back there. It must’ve taken a lot of courage for you to have stood up to speak. Your speech changed the atmosphere. Everyone was quiet at first, not until you spoke. I want you to know that I’m proud of you,” he said. I was literally blushing. Talon had never told me directly that he was proud of me. He had made it seem like he was in several occasions, especially since we got closer. But, he had never told me directly that he was proud of me. Now that he told me, I couldn’t stop smiling.“Really, Talon?” I said trying to act surprised.“Yes, Naya. Thank you for what you did back there. I didn’t even expect us to have such a nice and peaceful dinner, but we did. Did you even notice how happy my dad was? I thought he brought us here to scold us, b

I assured him that it was just morning sickness and that I would be fine. However, he insisted that we go to the hospital for my first check-up and ultrasound. I tried to decline, but he wasn’t having it. He told me that he didn’t want to take chances. He said that he wanted to make sure that I was fine, as he didn’t want anything to happen to me or the baby. All my efforts to tell him that we shouldn’t go to the hospital fell on deaf eyes. So, I took a warm bath and got ready. I wore a loose gown that made it easy for me to move around. While I waited for Talon to get dressed, I got ready too. I did a light makeup on my face. Soon Talon was out of the bathroom and he began to dress in front of me. He made sure to go completely naked in front of me, and I could see how he looked at me seductively. I wasn’t ready to make love that morning; I ju

He had been distant and aloof for as long as I could remember. He would come home from work and barely speak a word to me. I never knew what was going on in his life, or what he was feeling. But something had changed. He came back from work and told me everything about his day. “Hello, Naya,” he said with a wry smile on his face.“Welcome home, Talon,” I said in a calm tone.“How has your day been?” “So far, it’s been nice.”“That’s good to know. I hope you didn’t have a hard time at home with anything?”“Not at all. I’ve been fine all the while,” I said with a smile. I was happy that he was concerned about me. His niceness and calmness towards me was second to none. I could see it deep down that he genuinely cared for me.I added, “Tell me about your day at work today.”“Well, it’s a good thing you asked.” He reciprocated with a smile.“

    Naya’s POVI couldn't believe what had just happened. One moment, we were all sitting at the diner, laughing and chatting away, and the next, Nelson tried to convince my personal maid to poison me. What did I ever do to him? Why did he have to hate me so much? Sometimes, people just die without knowing that they are falling for a trap. The trap in my case was the one that Nelson set for me. But, I was lucky that the maid didn’t let it happen. Soon enough, Talon called Eric and he was in the house in no time. Eric slapped Nelson across the face when Talon narrated everything to him. The sound of the slap echoed through the room, and everyone fell silent. I was in shock, my eyes wide as I stared at Eric. Eric didn't say anything, just stood there with his jaw clenched. Nelson, on the other hand, looked stunned. He put a hand to his cheek, which was now red and stinging.Talon immediately went into action, trying to calm me down. "Hey, it's okay," he said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I didn’t want to think that Nelson was up to something bad. I didn’t think that way because I believed that he wouldn’t want to harm me in my own house. But, as time went on, Naya grew more and more impatient, and I could no longer try to calm her down. She just needed to be given food. She couldn't control the anger she was feeling inside. "Where is the maid? I'm starving. It's been an hour since she said she would bring me food,” Naya said in frustration.I got up from the couch and walked towards the dining room, curious to see what was going on. As I tried to enterthe kitchen, I saw the maid standing nervously by the door. She had a tray of food in her hands, but she seemed reluctant to bring it to Naya."Naya, the maid is here with your food," I said, trying to ease the tension in the ro

He knew that he had let his down, and he didn't know how to make things right. That was my own version of the look I saw on his face. I asked him why he hadn't been there for me when I needed him the most, and he told me that he was afraid of making things worse. I was taken aback by his response.
