Maverick’s P.O.VEverything was going just fine for me. I had everything planned out. I was going to destroy Talon. I phoned him and I informed him of a party that I would like him to attend. I was able to convince him to attend. It took awhile to get him to join me, but he eventually showed up. I was at the party with my men in almost every corner of the building, ready to attack. Talon had no idea of what was coming for him. **********Matilda’s P.O.V I paced around the jail cell for hours, thinking of a way to escape. One thing was certain – my son was in danger. I overheard my captor, Maverick was his name. He said he was going to hurt Talon. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I had failed once as a mother. I left my family and never turned back for once. It was my chance to right my wrongs. I was willing to go the extra miles to get Talon out of danger. Even if the cell was locked, I thought about an old trick that I used in breaking locks. I pulled out a pin from my hair.
Kael’s P.O.V I hid in an abandoned warehouse. It was the safest place for me. Escaping from jail was a hectic task for me. But, I was able to disguise as a security personnel to get through the security post. I was too smart for anyone to catch. No one could catch me. No one! I held a picture of Naya, a picture that I managed to print out from my old phone. I kept the picture even when I was arrested. It was the only thing that reminded me of her. The only thing that made me feel her presence. She was mine. And I was in no way ready to let her go. If I couldn’t have her back, no one else would. She was my woman. I dated her when no one else wanted her around. I had to let her go because I felt we needed space. We already had enough space. And, I wanted her back. All I could think of was Naya. She captured my whole mind.I sat on a wrecked chair in the balcony of the warehouse where I was hiding from public eyes the next day. I was trying to devise a plan to get into the Thwait
Greta’s P.O.VI made the greatest mistake in my life when I let Talon out of my reach. I regretted my actions. It should’ve been me and him and not that ugly witch, Naya. The humiliation I received from Talon was not something I was going to let slide. I paced around my apartment restlessly. There had to be a way to clear out Naya of the picture and take what rightfully belonged to me. Talon was mine. He approached me first. I couldn’t figure a way to get her out of the picture even after I spent hours trying to figure things out. I picked up my phone from my couch where I had left it while I was deep in thought. The first person that I thought of calling was my brother. I believed that he could help me out. He was a true gangster that always helped me do most of my dirty jobs. I dialed his number and he picked at the first ring.“Hello, big brother!” I said. Calling him ‘big brother’ was my way of convincing him to do things for me. He loved it when I addressed him like that. I g
Naya’s P.O.VI lost track of time. There was not a single day that I woke up without worries in my head. I was worried about Talon’s safety. I feared if Kael was going to show up any moment. I was worried about even the food I ate. I needed to be extremely cautious to safe myself from danger. Evening came and it was peaceful. I had no idea of what next to expect. Everything was happening so fast.Even though Maverick’s fate was already decided by the courts I wasn’t at peace. He was sentenced to death for multiple count charges. He was sentenced for kidnap, conspiracy and attempted murder. I wasn’t happy about the judgment because I felt no one deserved to die, but it was for the best. At least we had one villain out of our lives. But, Kael was still a free man on the streets. He could appear at any point in time. He was a dangerous man and sometimes I regretted why I ever gave him a chance in my life. I was so stupid to have thought that he’ll ever change. Instead, he got worse. T
Talon’s P.O.VI called the officers that had been on my case since my problems began. I informed them about what had happened to Naya. And, as usual they promised to begin investigation. I didn’t know what else to do. I was freaking out. Why was everything turning upside down for me? Why couldn’t I have a moment of peace? It was my mum’s fault. If she hadn’t sent Naya out of the house, I wouldn’t have had any reason to panic.“This is all your fault, mum. I don’t get why you had to send my wife out of the house. Did you even care about my feelings? She’s out there, somewhere and I don’t know where she is. Where do I start from?”“I’m sorry, Talon. I didn’t mean any harm.”“Of course. That’s the best you can say. No amount of apologies will bring my wife back to me. You just keep making mistakes.”“Please, don’t talk to me in such a disrespectful manner.”“Why shouldn’t I?”“Talon!” my dad barked. “Mind the way you talk to her. She’s still your mother. We’ll find Naya. I believe we
Greta’s P.O.VTalon’s attitude towards me made me cry. I was hurt. I wanted to teach him a lesson for making me feel worthless. I phoned my brother.“I can’t take it anymore, big brother. Talon did me dirty,” I said.“What did he do this time?”“He humiliated me. I went to his office to make him feel like a man and he talked down on me. He yelled at me as if I was a child. We need to do something fast. I’m slowly losing him completely.”“You don’t need to worry, Greta.”“How can you tell me not to worry? Talon doesn’t find me attractive. I want him back by all means but how can I get him if he doesn’t even wanna look at my face?”“I’ve already sorted out half of the problem. You have nothing to worry about.”“Really?”“Yes, Greta. Soon you’ll move in with Talon.”“What did you do?”“Naya is in my custody. She can’t escape from here. You’ll take what is rightfully yours soon enough.”“Amazing! This is like the best news I’ve heard in a long time. I’m so excited,” I said. “Just text me
Naya’s P.O.VI received a heavy slap from Greta. She slapped me because I was trying to escape. I was in pains, but there was nothing I could do to fight back. I was surrounded by people who wanted to harm me. I was frightened and I needed peace to relax my nerves.“Please, Greta I want to be left alone,” I said in pain. The men still held me firmly and they refused to let go.“Shut up, Naya. I’m not letting you go. You just tried to escape and here you are telling me that you want to be left alone. I’m not gonna grant your request,” she said. She was extremely angry. “Talon humiliated me, and for that single act of his, you’ll stay locked up till I decide to free you.” She pointed to the men. “Take her away.”The men took me back to the uncompleted building where I was tied once again. I sat on the floor for hours, praying for a miracle to come. And it did. So I thought. The men who were working for Greta roughly pulled me up from the floor. I wasn’t blindfolded so I was aware of e
Nelson’s P.O.VI was disappointed at my dad for not letting me know that he and my mum were divorced. The fact that I had been a fool all the while angered me. With anger, I stormed into Talon’s room in the hospital. I didn’t bother to knock or ask for permission from him. I needed to let him know about what I had just found out. I narrated everything I had overheard our parents saying to Talon. I thought he was going to be as angry as I was when I eavesdropped on the conversation, but he wasn’t. Even though he was shocked, he acted cool, like he knew about it all along.“We had a peaceful home when mum wasn’t around. We didn’t have to worry or argue about a lot of things. The house was peaceful without her,” Talon said.“Are you being serious?”“Yes, Nelson. I know what I’m talking about. I was still a bit sensitive when she left.”I was restless, and angry at the fact that I was the only one who was totally clueless about everything. I needed to know more about the relationship wi
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.
