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
Nelson’s POVI couldn't believe what I was seeing. My father, who had always been cold and distant towards me, was being sweet to Talon. I knew something was up, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. Well, he had always been sweet to Talon but not to me. However, I noticed that for a few days he wasn’t so nice to Talon. But, now he was even nicer to him.So, I decided to keep an eye on them. I needed to let my dad know about Talon and Naya’s arrangements, but only in their absence. So, I waited patiently for the right time.The next morning, Talon and Naya left for work, and I went straight to my dad. I told him everything that I had seen and showed him the video I had taken. “What in the heavens is this?” he yelled. “I’m finding it hard to believe that Talon could do something like this. How is this even possible?”“That’s a video of Talon and Naya. Your son Talon isn’t so perfect after all. He has been playing you. He isn’t married to Naya for love. It was a staged marriage, a
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.
