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
Naya’s POVI spent days taking care of Talon’s bruise. He had sustained multiple bruises from the numerous slaps that Eric gave him. I wasn’t obliged to help Talon with his bruises, but I just had to. So, I fetched my first-aid kit and began to treat his bruises. He had hurt me badly countless times but yet I found myself still helping him out. I ensured that I gave him breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next few days. I also made sure that he had hot baths to help calm him down. He became nicer to me because he believed that I was doing more than enough for him. Then, I decided to do what I had in mind. I picked up my bag and headed towards Greta’s house one day. I don’t know why, but I was sort of jealous. I needed to give Greta a piece of my mind. I didn’t care if I was about to do too much, I didn’t even care that I was jealous in a way. Somehow, I wanted Talon to be with me and me alone.I got to Greta’s house and forced my way into her house.“What the heck are you doing i
Naya’s POVI woke up the next morning feeling anxious. I knew I had to face Talon and confront the truth about what happened with Greta. I wasn't sure if I was ready to have that conversation, but I knew it had to happen.As I walked into the kitchen, I saw Talon sitting at the tab, sipping his coffee. He looked up and our eyes met. There was a tense moment of silence before Talon spoke up."Naya, can we talk?" he asked, his voice calm but serious.Itook a deep breath; steeling myself for the conversation I knew was coming. "Sure," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.Talon looked at me with a serious expression. "Why did you do what you did to Greta?" he asked.My heart sank. I had hoped he wouldn't bring it up, but I knew it was inevitable. "I don't know what you're talking about," I lied, hoping to avoid the truth.Talon's expression hardened. "Don't lie to me, Naya. I know you had something to do with her bruises. I just want to know why. Tell me the truth. Why did you hurt Gr
