CHAPTER 19: WORTHLESS

last update Last Updated: 2023-03-04 15:08:15
TALON’S POV

I could not contain my anger and disgust when the plane landed and almost crashed into the middle of nowhere. How could something as severe as that happen?

"Hey, you two!" I yelled at two of the crew members. "You're fired."

"Please, don't do this sir –"

"Shut up."

I turned to some other crew members. "And you all are fired too. I don't ever want to see you anywhere near me!" I was burning inside. At that point I didn't care about what was going to happen to them. I just wanted them out of my sight. By the time I was done firing some of the crew members, there was only a few persons left.

Naya and I got down from the plane and I ordered Manuel to make reservations for our apartment. Naya was quiet the whole time. I thought about what she might be thinking about, but I didn't bother to ask her questions.

We got into a private car and we were taken to an hotel owned by one of my old friend, Vince Dallas.

As a young dude in his thirties, he was a man with a cunning personalit

    Naya's P.O.VMy eyes were filled with tears. Talon was right in front of me. Acting all nice all of a sudden. I was so mad at him. How could he treat me so badly and not feel remorse? I wanted to slap him so hard. But, I had to play along. I acted like I wanted him to keep touching me. I even got closer to him and let my skin brush softly on his. He could see the tears in my eyes, glaring. He had no compassion. Clearly, he wasn't affected by my tears."Wow!" Vince marvelled. "Y'all are so cute. Love birds –""Yeah," I said. I was so dramatical about it. I raised my head to kiss Talon on his forehead and he reacted by kissing me deeply on my lips. We looked at each other, coldly. We hated what we were doing, but we had to. I was so disgusted. We winked at each other and only Talon and I could see how angry we were at each other."I'd love to invite you both to the lounge. You'd love it there. Trust me!""Really?" Talon inquired. He moved away from me as he turned to face Vince. "That'

    Naya's P.O.VI was horrible at singing. Everyone was staring at me and I was so embarrassed. I thought the day my ex left me was the worse day of my life, but I had to reconsider. Maybe the day on the stage was. I loved listening to romantic songs and I thought that I'd someday be able to get those lyrics straight up. Instead, my experience made everything worse. I could hear myself clearly and I could tell I was doing it wrongly. The crowd was not satisfied with my act. They wanted me to leave. And, I wanted to leave too.Tears gathered up in my eyes as I sang and it was all because I thought of that jerk that threw me out of his life, my ex. I used to believe he loved me genuinely. I thought we were going to end up together, forever. I strongly believed in happily ever after when I was with him, not until he left me. He left me stranded, without looking back for once. We had been together for a while and everything was going fine, but he couldn't be with me because of what people

    Naya's P.O.VI smiled sheepishly when we were out of the stage. Talon didn't smile back I felt stupid. Vince scrutinized Talon and I. Talon was raging with anger, he moved away from me. I didn't want Vince to notice more than whatever he had already sensed about Talon's sudden change of attitude towards me. But Talon made things worse, he left the arena without staring at me even for once. He left the lounge and I followed him. He didn't notice me until he was at the front door of the lounge."What do you want from me?" he questioned me. He frowned. "I don't know why you had to follow me. You could just go back to the lounge. I don't want any distractions right now. Especially not from you. Please, respect my decision and get the hell out of my way.""I thought –""What were you thinking?" he queried, interrupting me from what I wanted to say."You thought we were cool? I just did all that to keep my plans safe and just so that Vince doesn't ask me questions." He looked away. "I'm out

    Naya's P.O.VI couldn't get what Vince said to me out of my mind. He looked so calm, but I figured he wasn't one to joke with. Afterall, he had the money and the fame, to an extent. I was scared and at the same time terrified. I was in Vince's territory. He could harm me. I was just bluffing when I talked back at him. I walked away from him, I had to. I got to the room and I found Talon. He was smoking at the balcony. The room was a bit smoky."Where the heck have you been all the time?" he inquired. "I said, where have you been?" he repeated when he didn't hear a word from me. I acted as though no one was talking to me. I went into the bathroom to have a warm bath. I needed to have one. There was already so much in my head. And I wasn't ready to deal with Talon at the moment. He was too much trouble. I hated that all we did was argue. He was always angry, and so was I.I turned on the shower as I took off every piece of clothing I had on. I had a long bath. The threatening words of

At least, I didn't want to. We hopped on thebed. She was shy that I had just seen her naked body. She was sexier than Ithought. I never imagined her naked and in front of me. Seeing her in thatposition made my cock hard. I caught her eyes staring right into my hardcock. She had come to know that I was horny. I wanted to touch her, but Ihad my reservations. I had been too rude to her to want sex at the moment.I saw how she looked at me too. I could tell that she wanted me to make the move."I'm sorry about the fall," I said to her. I had to break the silence thathad ensued for the longest time. She could barely look at me."It's fine. Thank you," she replied. For the first time, I found somethinginteresting about her. Her body was all I wanted at the moment. She hadjust the right body. A round bi

    Talon’s P.O.VI had no plans of leaving the hotel. I wanted to spend more time there. But, I just couldn't stay since Vince had bluntly refused to keep his damn mouth shut. He wanted to know everything going on. I had no other choice than to play along for the time being. Naya and I were not going to spend forever in the hotel after all. So, we had to boost our acting.“Hey, Naya,” I said to Naya. “I know you love to listen to only yourself. But, please I don’t want you to join any games. We’re just going there to pass time and make Vince less suspicious.”“I know,” she said.“You have to do as I say. Remember what happened in the Lounge last night. It was too embarrassing.”“I’ve heard you. I’m not deaf.”“I’m just letting you know. I’d get you killed before sunrise if you do otherwise.”“Talon, do not threaten me.”“Just do as I say. We won’t have issues if you listen to me.”Naya and I arrived at the game arena and Vince was all over us, as expected.“Hey, man,” he said to me, imme

I’m fit to handle your inheritance.”“How are you so sure about that?” Eric asked.“I’m sure because, I have everything that you want from Talon. I possess all the qualifications. I have a wife, and most importantly, I have children.”“I know about all of that already.”“Then, what are you waiting for? Pick me, dad. Give me a chance to take your company and this family to the next level. You’ve never really given me a chance.”“I’ve already made my choice, Nelson.”“But your choice isn’t the best. All I’m asking for is just a chance. A chance to show you all of my skills and talents. A chance to build the company. Moreover, Talon’s not a saint.”“How do you mean?”“I think he’s trying to play a fast one on you. Something isn’t right about everything that has been happening around him.”“Can you please speak in a clearer term?”“What I mean to say is that, his marriage happened too soon.

We shook hands and exchanged glances.“Do have a lovely time with your lovely wife,” Vince added, with a smile on his face.I shrugged. “Definitely.” The hotel porter picked up our bags and headed straight to a neat red Lamborghini Venono car neatly parked at the garage. He placed the bags in the boot of the car. I dipped my hand into the left pocket of my blue jeans and brought out a stack of dollars. I removed some dollars from the stack and handed it over to the porter. The porter thanked me and left.Naya and I were driven to my private jet and got on it.Few minutes after we got on the private jet, Naya felt the urge to speak.

Naya was feeling better after a good night's sleep, but she was still nervous about what was to come.As we drove to the courthouse, I could feel the tension in the air. Naya was clutching my hand tightly, her eyes darting around nervously. I tried to reassure her as best I could, telling her that everything was going to be okay.When we arrived at the courthouse, we were ushered into a small room where we waited for the hearing to begin. The minutes ticked by slowly, and I could feel Naya getting more and more anxious.Finally, the judge entered the room, and the hearing began. Nelson was brought in, looking sullen and defeated.

    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.

    Talon's POVThe maid who was supposed to bring extra food for Naya was delaying and I wasn’t finding it funny. Why was she taking so much time? Worse still, Nelson was in the kitchen with her. 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

But the conversation took a strange turn, and before I knew it, we were discussing Talon and his ongoing property dispute with his brother.When Nelson arrived, I could see the guilt in his eyes. 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. I had never thought that Nelson was the kind of person who would be afraid of confronting his problems head-on. But I could see that he was genuinely sorry for his behavior, and I decided to forgive him.I couldn't help but feel frustrated and confused about why Talon was still fighting with his brother, even though he had already won the property.

They both had a special place in my heart, and I was not ready to replace them. I knew at some point that I had to be strong for Naya.When Naya finally woke up, I knew that it was time for us to have a heart-to-heart conversation.
