She felt anger boil inside her like a volcano as she looked at the man before her in shock. Kyla turned to her aunt, who was looking between them in a queer manner.“Do you two know each other?” Dr. Liz asked as she settled her gaze on her niece.“Doctor, where is the woman I came to meet?” Liam asked, ignoring Kyla's surprised expression. He didn't have time to listen to her words.“Mr. Storm, meet Kyla Anders, the mother of your unborn child,” Dr. Liz announced, making Kyla gasp openly at her statement.Liam thought he had misheard her as he shook his head in disbelief. How could she be the mother of his kid? He felt his heart swell up in a conflicted emotion. This couldn't be happening to him, how would he deal with her?Kyla felt her breath hitch at the realization, just hours ago he had shunned her and now here he was, turning out to be the father of the baby in her womb. She almost chuckled out loud at the turn of events.“What's happening here Kyla? Why are you here, Liam?” Amb
The atmosphere appeared too calm and the surrounding too quiet for her liking. Kyla looked at her image in the mirror as her eyes grew wide in astonishment. In just a few days, she couldn't recognize the woman who stared directly back at her. Her eyes looked distant with a cold expression that shone in them.Kyla never thought she would find herself in such a situation, she had forced Amber to leave, vowing that she was okay.The doorbell rang, pulling her out of her deep thoughts.As the door opened, she saw the last person she expected to be at her doorstep.“Aunt, what are you doing here?” Kyla asked as she noticed the tired look on her face.“I came to check up on you hunnie,” Dr. Liz replied as she forced out a tired smile.Kyla raised her brow at her, “aunt, tell me the truth, you look worried, what happened?” Dr. Liz shrugged her shoulders before chuckling at her niece's concern which reminded her of her mother.“It's nothing much, hunnie, I just got suspended, but don't worr
Silence was what hit her ears as she entered the apartment. “Kyla? Kyla?” She called out, but the sound of her voice echoed back at her, no response coming back.She rushed to the bedroom only to find no one inside except for a piece of paper that lay at the center of the bed. Amber felt her stomach tense at the thought that Kyla had decided to run away. Maybe she found everything too much and walked away, the thought of it making her shiver in anticipation.She quickly unfolded the paper as she breathed out in relief at the note that Kyla left behind.' I'll be at Aunt Liz's you can join if you like' Amber smiled to herself at Kyla's cheeky way of communicating with her. She could have just left a text message instead.Kyla sat still, staring into space as she contemplated how her life had turned out. She knew Amber would find the note left on the bed.As the doorbell rang, it just confirmed to her that Amber couldn't stay away. She opened the door smiling, but what she saw made t
Tension fell in the room as Kyla lowered her pen on the papers on the table, shocking everyone. She didn't need anyone's support or mercy, since everyone appeared to want to humiliate her, then so be it. Her heart broke with every letter she signed, she couldn't look up to anyone as she splinted upstairs. She quickly got into her room, locking the door behind her as she entered the bathroom, letting the tears that had been fighting to be let out flow freely.She thought she could hear commotion downstairs, but that all seemed to disappear as her mind focused on the pain she felt in her entire body.As Liam watched Kyla run upstairs, he could have sworn he felt his heart break slightly at the shattered look on his face. “You got what you wanted, Li, now leave!” Amber shouted, tears rolling down her face as she hurt for her friend.Blake, on the other hand, bit his inner cheek, swearing as he saw his papers lie on the table with no signature on them. He still couldn't believe Kyla ch
~~~~mature content ~~~~~Liam felt his mind fill with disinterest as he rammed into the blonde beneath him. “Tell me how I make you feel!” He ordered pulling on the blonde's hair. He couldn't recall if her name was Lora or Leah? What ran through his mind was getting rid of the pent-up anger that he felt rolling in his veins like lava.“ You make me feel like a queen …daddy," the blonde moaned out as Liam pounded into her even harder, chasing his release. He growled loudly reaching his climax as he pulled out lying on his back. His head was still heavy from all the drinking and partying he had been engaging in.Liam felt hands crawling up his chest making him feel a gush of disgust hit him as he threw the woman off him. “Get out!” He ordered his eyes wide in rage making the blonde flinch back frightened. As the woman scrambled to get out of the room, Liam ran his hand through his hair as he looked in a mirror before him. He couldn't recognize the man who looked so lost staring back
Feeling tired and sluggish he approached the building he had neglected for quite some time. Liam entered his office after such a long time of bailing on going to work. He needed to pull himself together and face everything. An incoming call stopped him in his tracks as he recognized the caller as his top security man. “Sir, Miss Kyla and Miss Amber are nowhere to be seen,” the man reported, his voice bold with certainty in it.“What!” Liam's voice boomed through the phone in anger. “How do you tell me they are not there? Aren't you supposed to keep them safe? Where were you when they went out!” Liam fired questions endlessly as he felt his heart beat faster.“Sir, Miss Amber sent me away earlier and…”“I'm on my way!” Liam interrupted the man as he cut off the call, turning around to exit the building, his only focus on Kyla.“Sir, this came in earlier for you,” his secretary said as he handed him a sealed document.Liam took a quick glance at the document, seeing the name of the ho
Liam walked hurriedly into the modeling Agency, his veins pulsating in anger. He breathed out heavily when he caught sight of Isabelle, who was flaunting her dress with a devious smile plastered on her face. There was still no news of Amber and Kyla's whereabouts. It was as if they had disappeared as Amber's car was traced back at the hospital.“Isabelle, I need to talk to you,” Liam said, his voice cold and angry.Isabelle noticed the furious look on his face but tried to maintain her composure as others were looking at them.“Ooh hey love, I'll be done in a few, how about you stay and watch me, I know you'll love it,” Isabelle said, placing a kiss at the corner of his lips.Liam looked at how innocent she appeared, but who would believe there was an undiscovered monster below the plain mask.“Now Isabelle, I don't have time for later,” Liam muttered near her ear with his teeth gritted.Isabelle gave the rest a pretentious smile as she followed Liam who was already showing her his b
Five Years Later…A mess, that was what the apartment looked like. Papers and toys appeared to be scattered at every corner of the apartment. Kyla facepalmed herself as she breathed out in frustration at the usual norm that welcomed her back almost every evening. She removed the heels she had worn, feeling her feet relax as she had been standing for a presentation for hours.“Dylan! Where are you?” She called out loudly but received no response, making her chuckle as she remembered what day it was. Of course that's why everything was scattered, it was the weekend.Life in New Jersey had been nothing short of amazing. Kyla smiled as she remembered the day she received her blessing at the hospital. It was not easy, if she were to be honest, nothing was easy for her. Yet here she was an owner of her interior designing company. It was a far more blessing than she could ever ask for.The door opened abruptly pulling her out of her thoughts. “Mommy, mommy, guess what Aunt Amber bought fo
The cool evening breeze of Miami Beach hit her barely covered skin. It had been a long night of after-party and bidding goodbye as they prepared to travel. Kyla stirred in bed, her eyes opening slightly as a smile graced her lips. She couldn't help but feel her heart reap in joy as she remembered the previous event of her wedding. If she thought it would be good, then she was mistaken, everything exceeded her expectations. It was nothing short of pure Bliss and exceptional. Kyla straightened her arm, only for it to fall on the cold empty spot of her husband's side. They lay all night, tossing and turning in the sheets. Making love through the remaining hours of the night, through their tiredness, until all Kyla could remember was her passing out. She sat up looking at the open window which ushered in the cool breeze from the sea. She hadn't had time to enjoy the beach, as they arrived during the night. Setting her bare feet to the cold floor, she shivered as she walked to the bath
“Hurry or we're going to be late,” Amber almost screamed at her husband who was struggling to keep his tie straight.“Hunnie, can't you see I'm trying to keep this damn thing straight!” Justus replied in his defense, his tone full of annoyance, but Amber laughed at him in return.Justus huffed out loud giving up on his quest making him shrug his shoulders in defeat. A loud cry resonated in the room making Amber close her eyes tightly. Any other day would be okay to hear the pleasant sounds of baby Kendra, but today was just not the day.Justus muffled his chuckle, but Amber didn't miss it, making her throw him a look angrily.“You're enjoying this, right?” Amber asked, looking at him sharply.“Hunnie, I'm not enjoying anything but my little princess seems to be feeling worse than me,” Justus teased, raising his brow at her.It's been four months since Amber delivered a bouncing baby girl. She could never forget that day for anything, from the grand hall to the last bit of her deliver
Kyla tapped on the accept button, hating that she couldn't get rid of the foul feeling that stuck to her stomach. “Hello, Jus, what's up?” Kyla asked, her eyes brows knitted together in confusion.“Kyla, it's Liam, he's in trouble, the meeting went sideways, please come to the address I'll send you,” Justus said, getting straight to the point, panic evident in his voice.Kyla felt her body tremble and feel weak at the same time. Her legs failing to support her, making her buckle, almost sending her to the ground. She glanced at the phone, which appeared to have been disconnected.“What! Amber, I have to go, Liam's in trouble!” Kyla said in panic as she headed out, Amber hot on her heel as she struggled to catch up.“What happened? Wait for me, Kyla,” Amber said behind her, making Kyla slow down to help her down.They boarded the car quickly to the location sent, Kyla tapped her fingers on her thigh restlessly. She couldn't help but feel her heart beat fast in her stomach. She had nev
The party slowed down as nightfall neared everyone in the rush to get back to their places or other things.Kyla spotted Amber and Justus on one corner, already inseparable after their blissful moment. Kyla felt hands engulf her waist from behind. The familiar tingles telling her who it was before she could even see his face. “Why do you look jealous of Amber and Justus, Love?” Liam asked, whispering into her ears.“I just feel happy for them, at least Amber had her husband all evening unlike me,” Kyla said hinting on how busy he had been all evening.“Love, you know I love you right, I can't promise I'll spend the night with you, I have a meeting that was just set up impromptu,” Liam said making Kyla feel her heart dampen. She turned slowly, looking at him for any signs of teasing but found none.“Babe, are you seriously telling me, you'll be occupied tonight? What time will you be back?” Kyla asked, pouting as she looked at him.“I don't know for sure, but Justus will be accompany
“Surprise!” Many voices shouted at once making Kyla and Liam halt suddenly in shock. Kyla was aware of what was happening, but she didn't expect something this grand would be done within a short time. Liam looked around, feeling his legs get weak at the beautiful scenery of what was once in ashes. As the lights came on Liam chuckled on seeing his family already present. It appeared everyone was aware except him, the burner with his late dad's name moved him to tears.‘IN LOVING MEMORY OF DANIEL STORM: HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON’Clapping came from every corner of the cheerful hall. “Babe, I hope you like it,” Kyla muttered beside her husband, throwing her dad a knowing look.Liam turned around hugging Kyla tightly before holding her at an arm's length and placing a kiss on her forehead.“I love it, thanks love, I love you so much,” Liam said, looking around, his eyes full of admiration.Kyla smiled broadly as she hugged him tightly, her heart beating fast in gratitude. The overwhelme
Liam sat up carefully looking at them, concern swimming in his eyes.“What is it champ?” Liam asked worriedly as Kyla sat on the bed next to him. It was unsure for Dean or the twins to wake up crying in the middle of the night for nothing.Dean, overwhelmed by whatever he was going through, cried even harder as Kyla hugged him comfortingly. Kyla placed her hand on his forehead to check if he was hot or sick, but everything appeared fine.“Tell us what's wrong baby, did you have a nightmare?” Kyla said, feeling her heart twist at seeing him like that.Dean nodded fresh tears brimming in his eyes. “Mommy, is being dead a bad thing?” Dean asked, looking at his mother curiously, his glassy eyes filled with tears. Kyla and Liam looked at each other both in surprise and confusion. “Why would you ask that, champ? Where did you hear the word from?” Liam asked, worry evident in his voice. No parent would imagine their child asking them about death. “I heard uncle saying that my parents are
Feeling tense and uncertain Kyla retired to her room as soon as dinner was over. She hasn't stopped contemplating on how to tell Liam about their unborn baby. She paced around the room picking her on her nails nervously. Lost in thought, she jumped slightly at the feel of familiar hands around her waist. “What's up love, what are you thinking about?” Liam asked, placing his head between her neck and shoulder.Kyla felt her stomach muscles tense at the thought that Liam could feel she was expectant. “Love, if this is about what the kids said…”“There'ssomethingihavebeenkeepingfromyou,” Kyla said so fast that she had to catch her breath. If Liam wasn't keen to listen he wouldn't have grasped anything she said.“What? I didn't get you,” Liam said, standing before her, his gaze fixed on her. Kyla fixated her eyes on his chest, unable to maintain eye contact. She didn't know how to say the words out slowly, they could seem like just two words, but she couldn't understand why it was so
She huffed out loudly trying to get the fatigue that hang on her like a branch. Being in the hospital for days hadn't done her any good. Liam sat next to her driving her home, from the look on his cringed forehead one could tell he looked tired. Kyla looked at him intensely making his eyes brows knit before smiling slightly.“What is love, out with it,” he asked his eyes still fixed on the road, but he couldn't miss the flushed look on Kyla's face.“What? What are you talking about?” Kyla asked biting back the smile that spread on her lips uncontrollably.“You've been staring at me for minutes love, is there something you want to say?” Liam insisted, throwing her a side glance with his eyebrow raised before focusing back on the road. He could have sworn he felt the way her gaze boreholes on his face. She appeared lost in thought for quite some time.“Well, it's nothing babe, I was just thinking of how amazing you are,” Kyla answered, hiding the blush that graced her cheeks.“Mmm ama
Kyla cracked her eyes open slightly, furrowing her brows from the bright white light in the room. It took her a while to process what was happening. Her dad! “Dad?” Kyla muttered, but her voice came out croaky and strained. She tried calling, but no sound came out this time, her throat feeling as if someone had dragged bags of sand through it. Kyla couldn't push the image of seeing her dad lying on the floor bleeding. She had to go see him no matter what. He had to have survived for the sake of her sanity. Something heavy on her bed side made her freeze as she tried to sit up. Kyla popped her head letting her eyes search for whatever it was that was restricting her movement. Her eyes rested on Liam who appeared to have fallen asleep with his brows knitted in worry. Kyla stirred trying to stay in a comfortable position as she watched him carefully. He had really gone through a lot in the past few days. She couldn't trade him for anything in the world. Liam could have sworn h
