Talon's P.O.V“Talon, how could you be so careless?” my dad scolded. “You didn’t even think about your health and your loved ones. You just did the craziest things. How could you? Since when did you become a drunk?”“Dad, you have no right to scold me. I have no answer to your many questions. I’m old enough to do whatever I want,” I said rudely.“You think so?” he inquired.“I know so. This is my life, dad. Let me live it!” I yelled. I had no idea what was going on with me. I never believed that I could be so rude to my dad. But, at the moment everything was happening so fast.“You don’t get to talk to me in that manner, Talon. I’m still your father.”I couldn't believe how foolish I was for losing control of myself like that. Eric had every right to scold me for my reckless behavior, but I wasn't in the mood to listen to him. Instead, I lashed out and demanded to be left alone.“Please, I need to be left alone. I don’t have anything else to say to you.”“You’re so unbelievable. So y
Talon's P.O.VI was getting ready for work when Naya brought up her modeling career and our agreement. “All of that would be sorted out. I’d talk to someone about your modeling career. But, in the meantime, we need to have a child. Focus on bearing a child for me. That is the only hindrance for me right now. Once you bear a child for me, I’d have the inheritance. After all, you’d get paid for it.”“You don’t have to constantly remind me that I’m only here for the money. I know that already,” she said calmly.“Better! Then just do your job while I do mine. There’s no time to waste. We don’t have much time left. I don’t want my dad to start becoming suspicious. A lot has happened between us already and this time, we need to get things straight.”“It’s all on you, Talon. You’re the one who needs to do your part because I’m already doing more than mine.”I was frustrated because I felt like she didn't understand our situation. She believed that I wasn’t doing enough. However, I thought
Talon’s POVNaya’s sudden scream got me worried, but there was not much I could do. She woke up in a panic, her breaths coming in short gasps as I tried to calm her down. I held her close, whispering soothing words and stroking her hair until her breathing evened out. “What happened, Naya?” I finally asked, when I realized that she was a bit better.“I just… I just had a nightmare!” she screamed.It was obvious that she had just had a bad dream. After all, it wasn’t in her nature to wake up with such shock from her sleep. I just needed to know what the real problem was. I could tell that she didn’t want to spill everything out, but she had to. I needed to know why Naya had woken up with such fright.“What did you see?” I asked calmly.She looked at me with sadness in her eyes. I could tell that it must’ve been a really bad dream. She was literally shaking.“I had a dream about me being pregnant…” I smiled sheepishly. The thought of her getting pregnant beclouded my sense of reasoni
Naya's P.O.VMy heart was racing as I made my way to my next interview with a modeling industry.I hoped that I wasn't going to be humiliated like I was the last time. The experience I had at the previous modeling agency that had called me was one hell of an event. Even though I tried so hard to erase the memory out of my head, I couldn't.I had been working hard for months to perfect my portfolio and had been looking forward to this opportunity for weeks. Even if the first one failed, I still had a string of hope in me that the next which I was about to attend was going to be successful, especially when I remembered Talon's kind words to me.AsI walked through the busy streets of the city, my mind was focused on the interview ahead, and I was unaware of the danger lurking around her.I had parked my car a bit away from the modeling agency as I didn't want to appear too comfortable to my interviewers. What mattered to me was getting hired, and I was willing to do what it takes to make
Talon’s POVI never thought that my life would take such a turn, but it did. I was in love with Naya, but I guess I didn't show it enough. Or, maybe I just wasn’t in love with her enough. She was always complaining about me being distant and not giving her enough attention. I could attest to that, but I just didn’t want to be too vulnerable. Then, things took a turn for the worse. She had caught me in my office with Greta. And, we were doing the forbidden. I tried to stop her from leaving the office since she was already running away. To do that, I pushed Greta off my body and I realized that she fell to the ground with force. I didn't even realize that Greta was still lying on the ground until she groaned and tried to sit up. I spotted her knee bleeding, but I didn’t give a fuck about her. After all, she was the reason why I was in such a mess. I left her in the office as I ran as fast as I could to catch up with Naya. Before I could get to the office garage, Naya had already ent
Chapter 76Talon’s POVI arrived at the house and found Naya crying. Naya was in a terrible state, and I didn't know what to do. I tried to persuade her to tell me what was wrong, but she was too upset to talk. “What is wrong with you? Can you just listen to me?” I yelled.“You have no right to shout at me. You’re the one who is wrong here,” she said.“I’ve already apologized to you. What else do you want from me? You’re not even giving me a chance to explain myself.”“The only reason you want to convince me to stay back is because of the property. I know you too well. That’s what you’re good at.”“Naya, you don’t have to define my whole existence in a wrong way because I made a mistake. I can fix this!”“I don’t need you to fix anything. I just wanna go away from your home and your life. I want to call it a quit.”“You can’t do that, Naya. We had an agreement, and our agreemen
Naya’s POVI spent the entire day avoiding Talon, even when we were in the same room. I couldn't stand being near him after what had happened between us. I knew that I needed space to clear my head and figure out what I wanted, even if I already knew what I wanted. I wanted to be away from Talon and never show up again. In the bedroom, we gave each other the silent treatment, neither of us wanting to be the first to speak. There was no way I was going to speak to him first. After all, he was the one who was wrong. He was the one who was supposed to apologize to me. I couldn't stop thinking about the pains he subjected me to. How could he ever think of hitting me? And, worse off, it wasn’t the first time. I faced the other side of the room and away from Talon. But eventually, we were interrupted by a call from Eric, Talon's father.“I called the both of you here to talk to you about something important,” he said.I listened attentively to each word Eric said. I didn’t want to interr
Naya’s POVI never thought I would be in this situation. All I wanted was to be free from Talon, but now he blames me for everything that's going wrong in his life. It all started when Nelson used a video to blackmail Talon into giving him a huge amount of money. Talon wasn’t ready to spare his money to a blackmailer, so he believed I was the cause of everything. He accused me of not helping him enough, and he stopped talking to me altogether. I decided to stay indoors and avoid him as much as possible.I went for two job interviews, hoping to distract myself from the drama with Talon. I didn’t plan to talk to him or have anything serious to do with him. All he did was annoy me with his constant complains. I believed that whatever happened between him and Nelson wasn’t my fault. I mean, if he had just let me go from the onset, Nelson would never have been able to do anything, talk more of blackmail. Unfortunately, both interviews didn't go as planned. The interviewers were extrem
