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
Talon’s POVI couldn't believe that Nelson had exposed our relationship to Eric. I was furious with him, and I blamed him for ruining my life. I had lost everything, including my father’s trust. But then something unexpected happened. Naya and I had to move in to a house that I had built for us, even though we were meant to move in later on. I wanted us to have a place to stay, a place where I could call my own. I paced around the building, thinking about what my dad felt about me now. Certainly, like he said he was disappointed and he felt betrayed. I was disappointed in myself too. For a while, I kept reflecting on the actions I took. I no longer regretted that I met Naya, but I regretted that I had lied to my father. He didn’t deserve to be played like that. He had been a good father to me and I have tried as much as I could to be a good son to him. But, now everything was crumbling. He no longer wanted to see me again and I couldn't think of a way to get back into his life. I
Talon’s POVI left the house in the middle of the night because my mother was in serious danger. I knew that I had to act quickly, so I drove to the position where she was supposed to be, and what I saw there made my blood run cold. A lot ran through my head as I tried to figure out if I was dreaming or if it was real. I used the back of my palm on my face as I rubbed it severally to once again confirm what was before me. Greta was dead on the floor, and my mother was breathing hard.“Get up, mum. We need to leave here immediately!”I got her into the car and started questioning her as to what had happened. She was hesitant to talk.“C’mon, mum. I’m not speaking to myself. Tell me the truth! How did you even get to Greta’s house? How did you know her?” My mum was still not saying a word to me, and I got scared. I could feel the shivers run through my spine. I began to question myself as to what happened since my mum wasn’t ready to let the cat out of the bag. How did she get to Gret
Talon’s POV“You can choose to explain everything to me if you want our conversation to be peaceful,” Naya said.“There’s nothing to explain to you. Don’t you get it?”“Then, why didn’t you take my calls? You have no idea how emotional I got. I called you severally but you intentionally didn’t pick my calls.”“How can you say that, Naya? It’s not true. I didn’t intentionally miss your calls. I was busy.”“Busy? Really, Talon? What do you even take me for? Do you think I’m a kid? How can you be busy at that ungodly hour? Did you try to rob someone?”“No, Naya. I have everything I want. I can’t ever think of robbing someone of their valuables.”“Then, why did you fucking avoid my calls? You need to tell me the truth. I feel like you’re hiding something from me. You can just make things easy by telling me what the fuck is going on.”“I still stand by my words. I didn’t intentionally avoid your calls. A lot of things happened. It’s not my fault. Just try to understand me, please.”“How ca
Talon’s POVAs I walked into the room, I saw Naya fast asleep, her chest rising and falling with each breath. The sight of her sleeping so peacefully made me smile. However, the maid quickly brought me back to reality as she informed me that Naya wasn't feeling well and had gone to bed early. What could have happened to Naya? Why did she have to get sick at this time?I felt a twinge of worry in my chest. Naya hardly ever got sick, and I didn't like the thought of her feeling unwell. But I pushed the worry aside, telling myself that she would be alright. After all, she was a strong woman who could handle anything. She had been able to handle more, so I felt that this one wasn’t going to be an exception.I made my way to the bedroom and quietly slipped under the covers, hoping not to disturb her. I lay there for a while, my thoughts running wild. I wondered what could be wrong with her, and if she needed any medicine. But eventually, sleep overtook me, and I drifted off into a peacef
Talon’s POVI entered the room and saw Naya looking around, probably searching for a place to buy. I let out a sigh, feeling a mixture of frustration and guilt. I wanted to yell at her for even considering leaving, but I knew I didn't have the right to do so. It hurt me to see that despite how much I tried to convince her to stay back, she wasn’t willing to. I tried as much as I could to control my temper that I had already lost. I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to confront her about it again. I was just going to let her go since that was what she wanted so badly. Even if it was not what I wanted, I had to respect her decisions. I had hurt her too much, so maybe letting her go was the best way to say that I was sorry for treating her badly in the past. After all, I was the one who took her laptop away and bought the house for her, just to turn it off. I was hurting inside when I bought the house, but I didn’t wanna complain. My pains didn’t emanate from the fact that I spent
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.
