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
Talon’s P.O.VEverything was happening too fast. There was nothing in particular I could think about that was going on. But, we had to leave Maldives. We really had to. It wasn’t safe. 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
Naya’s P.O.VTalon’s reaction towards Nelson made me think that I was finally out of the hot seat that Nelson placed me on. But, I was wrong. Talon took me upstairs to the room. 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
Talon’s P.O.VI managed to open my eyes even though I found it difficult. My head was hurting badly. The little girl that I was trying to save was on the floor, unconscious. She was in my arms. 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
Naya’s P.O.VIt took three days before Talon was able to finally open his eyes. I couldn’t contain my excitement. My silent prayers were finally answered. I wanted Talon back, and he really did come back to me. I was so happy that I hugged him tightly, not minding if he could still be in some form of pains. I just wanted to hold him close. My reactions made things absurd. I had concluded that Talon was going to snap at me, because it seemed like he didn’t want the hug. I pulled away from him.Surprisingly, Talon pulled me closer to him, and back into his arms. He held my face and caressed it gently. He made me look directly into his eyes. When I did, he kissed me passionately. I kissed him back, more passionately. Just then, the door swung open. Nelson walked in on us, majestically.“How nice... You’re finally awake,” he said to Talon.He dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out his phone. He called Eric and then his wife. He told them Talon was awake. I could hear Eric’s v
Eric’s P.O.VHow did this even happen? Who did such evil to my daughter-in-law? I watched the nurses as they were all in a haste to get her body into the emergency room. I stood with my mouth wide open. Was she dead or just unconscious? If she was alive, I couldn’t imagine the pain she was feeling. Her husband was lying on the bed still in the process of recovery, and now she had to go through such pains without him by her side. The nurses where running here and there, I couldn’t pick out any of them to talk to.Thirty minutes later, the doctors and nurses came out of the theatre. I approached one of the nurses. She was a blonde beauty. A tall lady with a shiny bright colored skin. She looked smart in her uniform. We moved to a corner to avoid gaining too much attention from passer-bys. “Hello, nurse,” I said to her.“Hello, sir,” she responded calmly.“The lady you just operated on is my daughter-in-law. I want to know what happened to her. Please, tell me,” I said. She saw how wor
