last update Last Updated: 2023-03-22 18:03:50

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.

    Talon’s P.O.VMy phone rang and when I checked who the caller was, it was my dad. I carefully removed Naya from my arms and left her on the bed. I didn’t want to wake her up, so I left the room.“Good day, dad,” I said when I picked the call.“Good day. How’s Naya?”“She’s fine.”“Good to know!”“Yeah.”“When are y’all coming home?"“Dad, we wouldn’t be coming home anytime soon.”“Why?”“Naya’s injuries are severe. She still needs time to heal. So, we wouldn’t be coming home until two weeks.”“Alright, son. Make sure to take care of your wife. Don’t let her out of your sight.”“I’d take good care of her, dad.”“Alright. Take care. Bye!”“Bye!”I returned back to the room to stay back with Naya. But she wasn’t there. I was scared, but the moment I heard the sound of the shower from the bathroom, I felt relieved. I let out a sigh. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but I knew there was something. I was feeling something for her, something I had never felt for any other woman. I wa

Naya and I got out from the room and moved down to the reception. The hotel was in chaos. Everyone was trying to run to safety. But no one had the slightest idea of what was happening and the safest place they could run to. I called the chauffeur that had been driving me and Naya throughout our stay in the Maldives.“Get into our room and bring our properties down,” I said to one of the porters in the hotel. He rushed to the room to get our things down. We felt more secured outside. Security was all over the place, trying to calm people down. But, they knew better than to calm me down. I had made up my mind to leave the Maldives even if it was late at night, and nothing was going to stop me.Naya and I wer

    Nelson’s P.O.VTalon and his so-called wife returned home. Our dad had not had a good rest since we heard about what happened to Talon’s wife. Seeing the duo back in the house relieved my dad from the heavy burden that he had coincidentally laid on himself.“Welcome, power couple. We’re so glad that y’all got back home unharmed,” he said. “Thank you, dad. It’s so good to be finally home,” Talon said.Power couple? Only if my dad knew who the duo really was, he wouldn’t be calling them that. My instincts never lied to me. I didn’t believe Talon and Naya’s relationship was real. There was something about it, something I was trying so hard to discover. I saw how happy he was. He couldn't stop smiling at them. He even forgot that my family and I existed. Talon and his wife was the star in the crowd. I wished that Naya had died. She didn’t deserve to live, especially since she

His facial reaction broke me. He had that look that showed he was going to blow up. He was mad, not just at Nelson but also at me.“What is wrong with you?” he asked me in a cold tone.“I don’t get you,” I said calmly.“How would you get me? You never get me. You just go around doing whatever pleases you. You don’t listen to me!” he yelled.“What have I done wrong?”“Everything!” he shouted. “Why do you always have to be so stupid?”“You’ve been saying mean words to me, but I still don’t get what I did wrong.”“Really?” he said. I nodded in agreement.“We only just got here yesterday, yet you think you could just start talking to Nelson. I don’t wanna see you getting into any conversation with him.”“You didn’t even ask about how it happened.”“I don’t care! Just stay out of the way of my brother. Don’t try ge

    Naya’s P.O.VTalon had every right to be mad at me for not telling him who Kael really was. I was wrong for keeping it away from him. I had to fix things myself. I got into such a messy situation and only I could really bring myself out of it. So I thought. Meeting Kael for a heart to heart talk was totally out of the options I had to fix things. I didn’t want to set my eyes on him, ever. Talon was at the office. He was supposed to have a meeting at work. I wanted to speak to him, but I lacked the courage to. I didn’t want us to go into our usual sad mood. It was as if speaking to him was a readiness to argue, shout or cry. I was prepared to leave the building and cancel my plans of talking to Talon.**********Talon’s P.O.VA heavy sound came from no particular direction in my office building. I tried to find out where the noise had come from, but I couldn’t. The whole building was shaking like it was going to fall. The tension in the building rose above cloud 9. Everyone ran for th

I felt a liquid-like substance dripping from my head. I touched my head to see what it was. My head was bleeding profusely. With all the power I had left in me, I pushed some of the rocks that were hindering me and the little girl from escaping from the building. I succeeded in pushing the rocks away. The little child was in shock. I tried to pick her from the floor so we could leave the building. But, I was a little too late. One of the rocks fell on the poor child. Instantly, she was crushed into pieces. My heart was broken. I was too weak to cry, too weak to express what I was feeling. There wasn’t anyone to tell it to. I lost the child without even getting to know who her parents were.I was feeling dizzy and I needed to get out of the crushed building by all means. I pushed every other

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.

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.
