Naya’s P.O.VThe man sitting next to me was Kael, my ex boyfriend. My heartbeat raced. What could Kael be doing here? I questioned myself, but I couldn’t wrap my hands around it. The eyes of customers at the beach’s canteen were all fixed on me. They must’ve thought that I had lost my mind. I stood up from my chair and proceeded to an open space in the canteen, where everyone could see me.“Good day, everyone,” I said calmly. “I’m so sorry I screamed. I know that it must’ve caused some sort of panic or uneasiness. I’m really sorry,” I said. The crowd nodded in acceptance. I returned back to my seat to meet the man that I least expected to see. I couldn’t switch tables so I had to bear the consequences of my attempt to prove that everything was fine.The food I had ordered for was already on the table. I started eating, but silently.“Naya, I know that you’re mad at me for leaving. But, I want to... no I need to apologize to you for my actions. I was such a jerk. I haven’t stopped
Talon’s P.O.VI couldn’t sleep at night. My mind raced on what Naya had told me earlier on. She was awake too, probably thinking about what occured. I could hear her trying to control her breathe. I was too proud to think correctly when she was speaking to me. If she had been kidnapped, my dad would have found out somehow. And that would’ve meant trouble for me. My dad would’ve expressly told me that I wasn’t looking out for Naya. He would’ve been so sure that if I was offering some sort of protection to her, no harm would’ve come to her. I had a rethink about leaving her all by herself in some certain hence forth. I had to do all it takes to not raise suspicion. Leaving her all by herself was also going to spoil my plans. I thought. I had to protect her from that moment.I needed to use the bathroom as I was pressed. I turned to the corner side of the bed. I switched the electric bulb on as I stood up to walk to the bathroom. I turned to look at Naya and what my eyes saw wowed m
Talon’s P.O.VI checked the time on my phone and it was 2:45pm. It had been already two hours since Naya left the room, yet she still wasn’t back. I was worried about her whereabouts. I went downstairs to look for my fake wife. I proceeded to meet the receptionist. After all, she was the one who had informed Naya that a certain lady wanted to meet with her.“Where is my wife?” I asked. “I have no idea, sir,” she said politely.“How can you say that? You called her a few hours ago. Or have you suddenly forgotten?”“No, sir. I didn’t forget. After she met up with the lady, they left the reception. I have no idea where they headed to.”“How about you? Do you have any idea where my wife went?” I asked the male receptionist.“No sir. I have no idea,” he said.I walked up to every employee inside the hotel that I could get my eyes on. I asked them if they had seen Naya. They all gave negative reports. She was nowhere in the hotel. I went outside the hotel to meet up with the security.“
Naya’s P.O.VKael treated me like a common thief, even when he was in real sense the actual thief. He stole me away from Talon. He took me against my wish. I had never imagined that Kael could go to such extent to achieve his evil plans. I was so stupid to have fallen for the trap that was set for me by Kael. He used the same lady I had thought of as a nice woman to bring me into captivity, under his cage. I was subjected to live in a dungeon or so with Kael. He didn’t let me out despite all of my pleadings.I tried to get a cup of water because I was thirsty. The ground was a bit slippery, and I didn’t notice that on time. With the glass cup in my hands, I slipped and fell down flat on the floor. The glass cup shattered into a million pieces.“How can you be so careless? Are you still a child?” Kael yelled.He didn’t bother to pick me up from the floor where I was lying helpless. I managed to get up from the floor, and the next thing I received was a sounding slap from Kael. I
Talon’s P.O.VNaya looked pale when I walked up to her. She was lying on the ground, she had lost consciousness. I picked her up from the ground.“Open the car,” I bellowed. I was talking to no one in particular. I just wanted anyone to open the damn car door. Naya needed to see a doctor. She was right there in my arms. Her eyes were shut tight. A closer look at her revealed that she had bruises on most part of her body. One of the officers opened the door of my car and I carefully placed her at the back seat of the car. I entered into the back seat of the car too, and ordered the chauffeur to drive to the hospital. I could barely say a word to the officers. The most essential thing was getting Naya to the hospital, so she could get treated.When we got the hospital and I ordered the nurses to get a stretcher for Naya. She was carefully placed on the stretcher.“Doctor, please do all you can to make sure she’s fine. Treat her immediately,”I declared.The doctor examined her careful
Naya’s P.O.VI had never felt so shocked and helpless my whole life. Fresh memories of what Kael subjected me to ran through my head. I was totally traumatized. Talon was right after all. Running was my only ally at the moment. It was my only saving grace. I wanted to be alone, because I wanted to be safe. Away from this wicked world! Someone touched my hand. I tried to find out who the person was, but I was held down. It was the doctors. The doctors saw how I was reacting and were trying to calm me down. But, I wasn’t having it. I struggled to get loose from their grip. “Get the Diazepam Injection. Hurry!” a doctor said to one of the nurses. I was still struggling with the doctors when the nurse returned with a syringe and a tiny bottle. She opened the pack of the syringe and injected the liquid on the tiny bottle into the syringe. She handed it over to the doctor that had sent her to get the syringe. I guess he was the head doctor.“Please, hold her down!” he commanded.The ot
Naya’s P.O.V“Good day, sir,” I said to the doctor. I met him at his office.“Good day. How are you feeling?” he said.“Much better. Thanks for asking.”“Alright. Do you need anything?” he inquired.“Yes doctor. I do,” I said. The doctor’s focus was placed on me.“Go on,” he said. “I’m all ears. Are you in pains? I could give you some painkillers.”“No, doctor. It’s not that at all.”“Then what? You know you don’t even have to be here. You should be having a bed rest. You don’t need any of this.”“Doctor, I’m fine. Believe me when I say this.”“Then what?”“I need my discharge papers. I can’t stay in the hospital anymore. It’s not conducive for me.”“But, you still need to heal. It’s not yet time for you to leave. We still need to watch you closely. You’re still in pains, obviously.”“Please, just let me go,” I said. “I’m fine. Trust me. I need to spend time with my husband. I’ve missed him so much!” “He’d understand that you need some rest.”“It’s not about him. It was my decision.”
Talon’s P.O.VI woke up with a throbbing headache and groaned. I couldn't remember what had happened the previous night, but the sight of me curled up in Naya's hand was a surprise. I moved, and she woke up immediately. The atmosphere between us was tense. Naya broke the tension when she got up and fetched some aspirin for me. I watched her show me nothing but niceness despite all my actions towards her. I felt bad for the way I had been treating her.“Naya,” I said. “You need to get some rest! I can take it from here.”“Are you sure you can handle things?”“Yeah, sure. You’re the one who just got out of the hospital. I just had some bottles last night. I’m totally fine now. Just get on the bed and have some rest. You can sleep if you want to,” I said.She mounted on the bed as she rested her head on the pillow. Naya’s facial expression revealed how shocked she was. She watched every step I made. She was probably surprised. She had never seen me act that nice to her. All I ever did
TalonAfter years of ups and downs, heartbreaks and makeups, we finally made it. Our love story has come full circle and I couldn't be happier to have Naya by my side. She was everything to me. Life was a lot better with her around. I could’ve never imagined that things would be subtle between us. Judging by the way we met, I had never thought that we would ever be together, forever. I was happy that we finally got to end up together after everything that had happened in the past. The villains in our lives were all eliminated, and we did it all because we stood by each other. It was difficult in the beginning as all I could think about was my hatred towards Naya. I could remember how I couldn't even stare at her in the face. The fact that thing took a turn made me realize that we were meant for each other.We've been through so much together, from the moment we first laid eyes on each other in the weirdest position to our emotionless wedding day. Our first wedding was a disaster,
Talon's POVLife was a lot better without Nelson around. For the first time, Naya and I felt secured. It felt like there were no villains in our lives anymore. Five months after the whole drama with Nelson, I realized that we had moved on. The house was bubbling with excitement. My dad was no longer in so much shock. He had been heartbroken when Nelson was sentenced to jail, but things changed. His mood became a lot lighter and he wasted no time in showing how happy he was. On the other hand, I was going from left to right to make sure everything goes right with Naya. I didn’t want her to encounter any form of stress. She needed to be fine. After all, she was soon going to be a mother and, me a father. Soon enough, we were going to be holding our bundle of joy in our hands. The long preparations I made for our second wedding was going to be actualized the next day. The next day was our second wedding. I had invested so much in it because I wanted it to be special. I knew that it wa
Talon’s POVThe next day, I woke up early to make sure I was ready for the court hearing. I knew it was going to be a difficult day, but I was determined to see it through. 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. He had already been found guilty of attempted murder on a pregnant woman, and we were there to hear his sentence.The judge wasted no time in handing down his decision. "Nelson, based on t
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
Talon's POVNaya apologized for leaving like that and told me everything. My heart swelled with relief and happiness as she poured out her heart to me. I was worried sick about her. But now, she was finally back in my arms and telling me everything that had happened. As I listened to her story, I couldn't help but worry if she was really fine. She seemed so vulnerable and fragile, and the thought of anything happening to her tore at my heartstrings. Even if she assured me that she was doing just fine, I couldn't completely believe her. The next day, I decided to do something special for Naya. I was going to get her an engagement ring, and marry her again without her knowledge. I knew it was a little unconventional, but I wanted to show her how much I loved her and how committed I was to our relationship. Naya’s POVWe watched a movie together. After the movie, when we were getting ready for bed, Talon finally spoke up. "I'm sorry I got so angry earlier," he said, looking at me. "I
Naya's POVAfter Talon calmed down, I explained everything to him about my dinner with Nelson. I told him that we had talked about the property dispute and that Nelson had agreed to end the fight between them. But Talon didn't trust Nelson at all and assumed that he was up to something.I tried to reassure Talon that he had nothing to worry about and that everything would be fine. I even joked that he should make me something to eat, which made him laugh. But despite his laughter, I could tell that he was still feeling uneasy about the situation.As Talon went into the kitchen to make me something to eat, I settled down to watch a movie. But my relaxation was short-lived when I received a call from work. I was needed at the office immediately to meet with a very famous celebrity who was interested in signing a contract with my modeling design company.I rushed out of the house without telling Talon, hoping to make it to the office on time. But the meeting took longer than expected, an
Naya's POVI met Nelson in a restaurant for dinner, hoping to catch up on lost time and rebuild our friendship. 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. It seemed like a petty and unnecessary c
Talon's POVI rushed Naya to the hospital. She had passed out due to stress, and I was extremely worried about her. I couldn't get the picture of her smiling towards me before she passed out, out of my head. I wanted her to be okay and free from any form of stress. I loved her and she was carrying my child. I had every reason to protect her. The hospital staff did their best to reassure me that she would be fine, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of helplessness that I felt at that moment. Deep down, I wanted to shake the feeling off my head. I wanted to be normal and hope for the best. But, my fears piled up. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to the woman I loved or my baby. 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. I gently encouraged her to open up to me and tell me what was on her mind.
