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

    LEONARD'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

  • Beautiful Bliss   Prologue

    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

    I was hearing muffled, inaudible voices. A thought popped up in my head, "Am I dead??", so I tried opening my eyes and I was welcomed by the white colour of the room that almost blinded my eye. Then I thought again, "Am I in heaven??" Still thinking, I shook my head vigorously saying it isn't possible. While in my trance, I felt a hand on my shoulders, shaking me, trying to get me out of my thoughts. Then those voices again called out to me and this time it was loud and clear. Slowly, I opened my eyes and the smell of antiseptic and drugs hit my nose. That was when I realised I was in the hospital. "Thank God, she's awake" I heard my dad saying "Let me check her vitals" The doctor said while my dad made way for him to do his job "Can you hear me Miss Walker?" the doctor asked I didn't answer. "If you can hear me, move your eyes to the left" he instructed. I did as he instructed. He gave me a few more instructions which I did. Satisfied

    WALKER'S RESIDENCE This family and drama. Dad should have allowed sleeping dogs lie, now I'm developing an headache. "Enough!!!" I screamed turning everyone's attention to me "Dad, I appreciate all you're trying to do but I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie. The deed has been done and can't be rectified so let's just end it here." I begged my dad He looked at me in a way I didn't like; with pity, pain and another feeling I can't fathom. I know he thinks it's all his fault but I'm not even in the mood to assure him that he has nothing to do with what happened. I stood up, looked at everyone and went up to my room. When I got up, I made sure to lock my door and leave the bathroom door open. I took my bath and then came out of the bathroom. I dried my body, applied my body cream and went to pick my clothes. I wasn't in the mood to dress up so I picked a white hoodie and shorts then I wore white sneakers, picked a black bag and shades. I went back to

    I got home later in the night. My dad and stepmom were conversing when I entered "Good evening Dad" I greeted "How was your outing" my dad inquired "It went well and it was productive" I answered "Alright princess" he smiled "Have you had dinner?" my stepmom asked "I'm full. Thanks" I said I went up to my room after pecking my dad. I went upstairs and flung myself on the bed. I heaved a sigh of exhaustion. I lay there for like two minutes before I went to freshen up. I finished showering and then changed into my nightwear. I climbed onto my bed and brought out my laptop and sketchpad. Checking through the designs, I felt satisfied with what I've done so I decided to do the finishing touch to the bride's dress. As I was working, I was also munching the waffles I got from the coffee shop. Two hours later, I was done and I packed up and then went to bed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE NEXT MORNING I couldn't sleep a wink last night. Emo

    She turned back to look at whoever intruded them and saw me standing. She felt shocked because she didn't expect to see me but made no move to stop what she was doing. She was in the room with a man, smoking and puffing weed. It's a different story if there were just smoking but she was smoking the weed and passed it into the guy's mouth by kissing him. She was on top of the guy and he was lying flat on the bed. I couldn't withstand the sight anymore and left the house. I got into my car and kept banging the steering wheel like it was the cause of my frustration. I drove out of the compound straight to my parent's house. They were shocked to see me when I entered looking all weak and broken. My mum was the first to rush up to me and I just couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears in her arms. She didn't say anything but kept patting my head and my back. We stood there for like 2 minutes and when I was done, she walked me to the chair and we sat dow

    Carter's POV I went to the office early because I have a lot of pending work to do. A few employees were around when I got to the office. I entered the elevator and went straight to my office. I took off my jacket after I got inside and hung it on the stand. I sat down, loosened my tie a bit and started working. It took me 4 hours to finish and I was tired by the time I finished. I was stretching when I heard a knock on the door. "Good morning sir" Clinton's head popped in "You can come in" Carter said, straightening up "I also came in twice but you were so occupied that you didn't notice." The secretary explained "It's fine. I've finalised all that needs to be done on the L&B project, so I'd send the documents to you. You just need to print them out, give it to the department in charge of overseeing the project and they should start working immediately they get the document" He instructed "Yes sir" "Is there anything that requires my signature

We both walked in and I saw my parents in the living room while my sister was eating at the dining. She ran up to me and hugged me the moment she noticed my entry "Hey, big bro. I've missed you so much" she pouted as she complained "I'm sorry sweetie, I had a lot to do this week" I pinched her cheek playfully and explained "It's fine as long as you are here now" She smiled "Well, big brother got you something" I smiled as I collected the bag from the gateman and handed it over to her She squealed happily and hugged me. "Nia darling, go up to your room and check out the gift, we need to talk to your brother" Mrs Sanchez instructed her daughter "Alright Mom" she said and ran up the stairs The gateman dropped the bag and returned to his post.

    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
