Life has a lot of things in store for us. We feel we are destined to be with someone or destined to be somewhere but later realise that it was just meant to be for some time. Avina Walker is the second daughter of the Walker family. Her father owns one of the biggest textile industries in Los Angeles. Despite having all the luxuries at her beck and call, she still felt lonely and sad. Her mother doesn't like her and her sister switches from being nice to being cold or cruel. She did all she could to be accepted but it feels like she was just meant to be an outcast. Her elder sister is engaged but Avina was not bothered and kept working hard. As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, Avina's father worried about the single status of his daughter and didn't know what to do. Luck finally smiled at him when one of his friends and business partner also seem to have the same worry concerning his son. ************* Carter Blake Sanchez is a self-made billionaire and an heir to a conglomerate business, in Los Angeles. His name is known to both the old and young. His name is always on the front page of business magazines or fashion magazines. He has a few scandals on his name but his reputation and image have never been tarnished/tampered with. He mostly talks about business and how he got to achieve all he has. Questions about him getting married have always popped up during his interviews but he always ignores them. His handsomeness was enough to help him get a get but he was heartbroken and preferred to work. This got his parents worried and they played the role of matchmakers.
View MoreLEONARD'S POV I just concluded a meeting with the board of directors. They had so many unnecessary concerns about the company and whatever was happening in the outside world. I don't know why old people never seem to mind their business and face it rather than bother themselves about it. I've also been trying to talk with investors because I'm trying to make our new lipstick brand expand into the international market. It's been doing well all over the USA, so I want to push it into the international market. It hasn't been easy but it was successful eventually. As I stepped out of my company, I dialled her number. I bet she'd be mad at me right now, but she would understand. It rang twice before she picked it up. "How can I help you?" That was her way of greeting. I'd take that because she has all the right to be angry. I was pleading the week before, and I've already repeated the same thing. "Hey, hey, your anger is justified, but that's no way to greet someone yo
ELENA'S POV I've been busy with shoots for the past month in Dublin. I haven't been home in a while, and it feels nice to be returning. I already told my dad to send a driver to the airport. As soon as I landed and went to collect my luggage, I sighted him standing there. "Good morning, Mr. Patrick." I greeted the old man, who has been working with our family for the past 20 years. "How was your flight ma'am?" He asked as he collected my luggage and took it to the car "It wasn't bad. It just feels nice to be back home." I told him. He opened the car door for me and I got in. I took off my glasses and closed my eyes for a quick nap before we got home. "We've arrived ma'am." Mr Patrick announced a few minutes later"Thank you so much. I'd ask the maids to get my luggage for me." I smiled at him as I took my bag and entered "There she is. My princess." My dad was beaming with smiles as he sighted me "I've missed you so much, Dad." I ran to hug him"I misse
CARTER'S POV This week has been incredibly hectic for my wife, and I can see the toll it’s taking on her. She’s barely home for more than 30 minutes, just enough time to change clothes or quickly prepare meals for me to heat up later. As the week wraps up, I’ve decided to take action and surprise her at work. She needs to know how much she means to me, and that I’ll always stand by her side, supporting her in everything she does. I got dressed for work with purpose and grabbed my suitcase. The driver had just finished washing the car when I got downstairs, and we exchanged brief greetings. I climbed in, already smiling as the excitement bubbled up inside me at the thought of the surprise I had planned. When I arrived at the office, I was eager to share my idea with Clinton, my secretary. I would have reached out to Leonard, but his schedule has been packed lately, leaving us no opportunity to meet. “Good morning, sir!” Clinton greeted me with energy. “Morning, Clinton! It’s a be
AVINA'S POV After settling with Carter, I felt liberated in a way. Letting go of the resentment that had slowly built up in my chest is one of the good things I've ever done for myself. Thank God for blessing me with my sisters. What would I have done without them? I got up this morning, feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. I went into the bathroom, humming one of my favourite songs, 2002 by Anne Marie, smiling and grinning. I got out of the bathroom and dried my hair, then picked out my outfit for the day. While I was dressing up, Carter walked in with a tray of food and juice, smiling. "Good morning, baby." He walked up to me and kissed me"Hope you slept well?" I wiped off the makeup that had smeared the tip of his nose "With you by my side, I slept soundly." He winked "What's that?" I asked him "Breakfast. I didn't want to stress you, so I woke up early to make it." "Thanks, sweetheart. That's so thoughtful of you." I kissed him again "Anything
KATE'S POV It was a weekend, and I was neck-deep in chores. My bedroom was a disaster—a mess of clothes strewn about, new outfits still in their shopping bags tossed on the floor, and a general clutter that made me question how I’d let it get this bad. I usually pick an outfit in a rush each morning, tossing aside the rest of my clothes without a second thought. This weekend was my chance to regain control, so I’d committed to sorting it all out.I was pulling clothes from the washing machine when the doorbell rang. I wasn’t expecting anyone, and I felt a twinge of irritation at the interruption, whoever it was. After setting down the last load of wet clothes, I wiped my hands and made my way to the door, bracing myself for whatever surprise awaited. As I peeked through the peephole, my heart lurched. Standing there, of all people, was Leonard.What was he doing here? And how did he even know where I lived? My mind flooded with questions I didn’t have answers to, but he rang the bell
CARTER'S POV It's been a week now since Avina has spoken to me. The tip Nia gave didn't do anything. Instead, it worsened the whole situation. I tried speaking to her in the morning before she left for work and she replied, even though the answers were short and precise. But I was happy she was even saying something to me. She set the dining and we sat down to eat. I kept stealing glances at her as we were eating, and eventually, she noticed. "Say whatever it is you want to say." "I've been wondering and I just can't pinpoint what it is I did to make you give me this attitude. I know you recognise me; you're only doing this to torture me for an offence I know nothing about." I didn't hesitate in spilling out my mind. "You really don't know what you did. Even till now??" She asked without lifting her face "If I did, I wouldn't be bothering you this much." I was starting to get pissed but I kept my cool "If you don't know what you did even after ignoring you for 4 d
KATE'S POV I got up early the next morning so I'd beat traffic. I dressed and drank the coffee I made then stepped out. I achieved my aim because there was no traffic and the road was very free. I got to her house and parked my car. I greeted the gateman and made my way inside. I opened the door, and all I could hear was laughter that sounded so high-pitched. Why is she up so early and who's she laughing with? Has she decided to forgive Carter? I hurried inside to find out what was happening, but instead of Carter, it was Elena. They saw me and waved. "Good morning sis." I hugged Elena"How are you now?? Can you laugh this loud so early??" I looked at Avina "How does laughing make me unable to rest?" She eyed me and then came to hug me "What was so funny that you guys were laughing so hard?" I asked as I sat down "She was explaining all that happened in the hospital to me. You know I wasn't present." Elena briefed me "Oh. Has she now said the reason why she decid
AVINA'S POV It felt so nice seeing his face display different emotions altogether. He was happy, confused, angry and super angry. I couldn't help but beam with happiness. Why am I doing this? I don't know but maybe because of the incident that happened on our honeymoon. I've been anticipating when I'd have my revenge and this day finally came. I see no reason why I won't make use of this golden opportunity. Kate just sat there looking lost because she was also confused. I said nothing but winked at her and she scoffed "You've gotten more brazen this past weeks. What has he been feeding you that he also can't handle you?" "Aren't you proud of me? You've always wanted to see me in another light other than work, family and all." The smile was still plastered on my face. "Yes, that's true but please don't try to pin this on me. I now regret telling you that." She shook her head in regret "Well, this is a reminder to let you know that you also can't mess with me and go
CARTER'S POVI dropped Vina in the back seat gently and hurriedly drove out. I felt so scared as I drove down to the hospital. I got to the hospital and carried her inside. The nurses hurriedly went to get a stretcher and told me to drop her off, but I refused and continued to walk inside. Seeing I wasn't going to let her go, they led me into a room. One of the nurses left to get the doctor. The doctor came in and politely asked me to go out, but I refused. The nurses did all they could to get me out, but while they were trying, Clinton and Leonard arrived. Leonard apologised to the nurses, and the doctor then dragged me out. I sat on the bench in the hospital hallway and buried my head in my palm. "Why would she go extreme? I don't want her anymore. Why does she find it hard to grasp those simple sentences?" He raised his head to look at his friend "It's fine. She can't do anything again. I'd make sure of it." Leonard assured his friend Carter had to call Kate and tel
It is a very bright morning. The sun shone from the sky into the well-decorated room through the opened curtains. The birds chirped happily as they flew about in the sky. I kept turning around on my bed until I fell off. I groaned painfully as I stood up. Rubbing my eyes, I stretched and yawned lazily. I looked at the clock beside my lamp and realized how long I had slept. I was tidying up my bed when I heard a loud voice yelling my name. "Argh" I groaned, stamping my feet on the floor. "I'm coming" I answered back to whoever it is that was calling me. I finished arranging my room and then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I was done, I rinsed my face and went to meet whoever it is that was shouting my name. I descended the stairs and saw my stepmother and sister sitting at the dining table. I greeted both of them and sat down opposite my stepmother. "What took you so long to get out of bed?" My stepmother asked. "I was arrangi...
