PRISCILLA POVAs I walked out from the back dressing room, I was congratulated by a model who passed by.Her face was shining and a smile was plastered on her face as she engulfed me in a warm hug, "you did great out that." I smiled at her in response, "thank you very much." I said to her,"You're welcome." She replied and walked off backstage.I sighed and walked out of the hall, I shivered and goosebumps filled my skin in reaction to the cold air that was biting my skin as it whooshed passed me.I wrapped my arms around my upper part to try to keep the cold away. I was holding my bouquet in one hand and holding my trophy in the other as I walked to my car which was parked out front.I got to my car and wrapped my hand around the door's handle and moved to pull it open but another hand appeared from the side and closed it shut.My brows drew together in anger and as soon as my head came up, I had thought up some nasty things to say to the blockhead that saw it fit to prevent me from

BRENT POVI pushed open the door and walked in, I was met with my sister's worried face. She ran to the door as soon as I walked in,"Did you get it?" She asked me.I stretched my hand and gave her the paper bag I had packed her clothes in.She took it from me, clutched it to her chest and mouthed, "thank you.""Do you want to eat something?" She asked me,Why was she suddenly acting very nice towards me? She didn't seem to care earlier when I stepped out."No, I'm full." I replied to her.I looked behind her to the couch to see some of the kids play things, scattered all over the table, I returned my gaze to her, with one eyebrow arched high on my face as I gave her a questioning gaze, "and the kids?" I asked her.She turned back to look at the mess that was created on the table, "oh, they're fine. And they're gone already. A maid came by from their mom and took them home to her. You can call her to be sure of their arrival." She said,"Alright." I said and walked past her into the

PRISCILLA'S POVThe elevator dinged, and I followed Brent down the hallway to his home, or should I say my former home? We'd had dinner and I wanted to pick the kids up from his place since they were with Salome. After the time Brent had kept them with her while he flew to California to help me, they'd been asking to stay with her again and so, I'd set it up when Brent offered to take me to dinner to celebrate something he still hadn’t told me.I entered the house and looked around, masking my emotions. It looked the same I'd left it. Looking at every painting and decoration was bringing memories I'd love to forget back to memory. I had decorated this house with Brent back when we realized we had fallen in love with each other.“What do you think? Doesn't the house look too empty for your taste?” Brent asked, caressing my hair.I nodded. “I thought you preferred things like this, since you weren't home often.” I looked into his eyes and smiled at the look of love I'd been unaware of t

I remained rooted until I heard the footstep of someone approaching me. I shook my head again to get rid of the webs in my head and continued towards the living room with the intention of taking my kids and leaving. Suddenly, it didn’t sound safe for them to stay with Salome. “Mummy.” The twins called when they saw me, and they both ran to hug me. I bent down and held them tighter, allowing all my worries to fade at that moment. I looked up and smiled at them. “How was your day?” I asked and after about ten minutes of them describing how it had gone, using the word ‘Fun’ and ‘Amazing’ in almost all their sentences, they finally left to sit down and continue what they were doing. I stared at them, curious at what they were doing, and I smiled when I saw that they were both struggling with a rubix cube. I turned to Brent, who was giving me an amused look, and he shrugged playfully and patted the seat next to him. I shook my head and took the love seat that was next to him. “I thi

PRISCILLA'S POVI sighed and looked across my office to where Carlie was meant to be seated. since I'd entered the office that morning, the atmosphere had been tense, which meant what she'd done had been the topic of discussion before I arrived. Since Carlie was no longer trustworthy enough to leave the company to, I had to travel here even more now.Someone knocked on my door and I quickly sat up, no point in giving my employees even more to talk about. it hadn't been a secret that we were very close. "Come in."The door opened, and my new secretary brought in a file. "I compiled the list of all the people that have offered interest in working with us and partnering with us after the show."I collected the file and looked through it. "Why wasn't it sectioned? These contain agencies, celebrities as well as prospective partners. How am I meant to sort them all if they aren't sorted?" I asked her, intentionally making my voice softer. I'd yelled at two of my employees since the day had

Did she just use those three words together in the same sentence? That made perfect sense and made no sense at all at the same time. “What kind of tapes?” I asked, eyes wide open, fearing the answer.Carlie shrugged, pain filling her face. “What kind of tape would I have that can be used as blackmail material. Sexual tapes that I hope would never see the light of the day. ”I let out a loud expletive. “Did you agree to it? Don’t you know how dangerous it is? How often… how many do you have?” I asked, struggling to contain my fury. The next time her boyfriend and I unfortunately crossed path, I was going to kill him.She grabbed my hands and shook her head in response to my question. “It was a foolish mistake. I should have listened to you when you were worrying about me rather than getting angry. I found out a month ago that he had secretly been taking pictures and videos of me. What do I do?”I hugged her. “We’ll figure it out. Has he sold any of them or tried to threaten you with th

I hooked the strap on the wagon I'd brought for the day in case Aiden and Avery needed it. We were going hiking for a volunteering event for orphans and homeless, and I didn't think the kids would be able to walk sixty miles, hence, the wagon.The kids saw Brent coming, and ran to him, and I had to sigh. Who said taking children for a hike would be easy. We had not started, yet they were already stressing me out, wanting to see everything.Brent lifted Aiden and held Avery's hands as he waved at me.“You found this place easily, right?” He asked when he got to me, and I nodded.Brent had invited me to the event since his company was the one hosting it and even though it was a bit risky for me to be with him, especially with the twins. It was for a good cause and rejecting the invite seemed selfish on my part, so here I was. The event was pay to enter and all the proceeds from the entrance fee as well as everything that was sold at the rest stops were going to goodwill.I looked at the

What the heck? WHAT THE HECK???I started struggling to stand upright, and Brent pushed me until we weren’t so dangerously close anymore. My face was burning, and I wanted to disappear. I grabbed the wagon from Brent and stormed ahead, desperate to put some distance between us.BRENT’S POVI sighed and watched as Priscilla sought to escape me and I could guess how she was feeling, so I stayed put and watched her until she disappeared from my sight. After that, I couldn’t hide the stupid smile that came to my face. It had been years since I’d felt the touch of a woman against me since when I tried after the divorce, Priscilla’s face had been what I’d seen and dang, it had felt good.We still had about ten miles to go, but I was sure we were still going to meet. It was high time I told her what I felt. I gave her ten minutes because of the gentleman in me and after the time had expired, I started after my ex-wife. Life, I could feel, was about to get a lot more interesting.Sure enough,

SYLVESTER’S POV“Sylvester, please stop pacing around. You're making me feel lightheaded with your movements. I know you're angry but please sit.” Donna said to me and I sucked in my breath for the hundredth time. I slammed my hands on the table, causing some of the things on it to spill over. “Now you're just going to start creating a mess.” She sighed and picked up the fallen items. “Would you believe she did that to me? She's my woman yet she had them throw me out.” I rambled again and Donna sighed almost in frustration. “You knew she never liked you from the start, she only agreed to be with you for selfish reasons. None of this is your fault.” She tried to placate me but I was too angry, too bitter to care. “It's all his fault.” I suddenly muttered after coming to the realization of it. “What?” Donna's eyes exposed her confusion. “He's the one making her do this. She loves me, she'd never do that to me if he wasn't in the picture. I have to find a way to get rid of him.” I

BRENT’S POVI finally felt free. After that confession to her, it felt like my soul had been set free, her smile lightened up the room and we went to check up on the kids when they'd woken up. They were both excited to see their mother and I could see the joy and relief in her face as she hugged them both. In the past, I used to think people often did too much by acting like their kids were some sort of lifelines but after this incident, I realized why people held on to their kids like life. I couldn't imagine losing my two kids in a night, my life would totally be over.“Daddy, we miss you at the house.” Aiden suddenly spoke, drawing me back into their conversation. I smiled and ruffled his hair, they'd been taken out of the ER into a VIP room same as Priscilla because I made the request so they'd be comfortable. “I miss you both too.” I responded and Avery smiled deeply. My little girl. She'd been so startled to not have found their mother when she woke up that it took several mi

PRISCILLA’S POV“I don't care what you think about me, all I know is that we belong together. You're mine, Priscilla, you're mine!” His words did not only sound threatening, the words sounded real especially with the fury blazin hot in his eyes. I was getting scared to my bones that he'd pull a crazy stunt as he kept approaching the bed with a glare in his eyes. I could see the hurt, anger and criticism in his eyes but none of our fears could stop him. “Get away from me, Sylvester. Don't you dare come close to me.” I tried to put up a bold front but couldn't. My voice was trembling while my hands started to shake constantly. “You belong to me, I own you!” He muttered bluntly, still strutting towards me. I had a feeling he would do something crazy so I screamed. “Help!!! This man is trying to kill me! Somebody please help me!!” I screamed with everything in me and he rushed to put his hands over my mouth, leaving me to struggle and gasp for breath under his tight hold. Luckily eno

PRISCILLA’S POVIt's been several hours since Brent left me and the kids in the hospital. Sylvester has been smothering my face with all sorts of boring talks about his business trips and how heartbreaking it was for him to hear the news of the incident. He barely gave me a chance to speak and all through the entire time, all I did was nod and pretend like I was listening to him when all I wanted was to be away from him. “I can't do this for much longer.” I thought to myself. “I also have an upcoming trip to Singapore but I'm not sure I'll want to leave you all alone in this condition. Will you come with me?” He asked and I rolled my eyes, despite the intense pain I was feeling in my head. A part of me wanted to snort and ask if he was just being sarcastic but I resisted the urge to do that. “I'm literally tied to a bed, I can't come with you.” I responded curtly, hoping he'd catch the drift but typical Sylvester, he didn't blink an eye. “Brent would've sure as hell picked up on

BRENT'S POVTo be honest, I wasn't expecting her to pick me over Sylvester. He came in here and was acting all lovey dovey either. I couldn't beat watching them but the torture reminded me of how much I needed to be with her as soon as possible. She finally returned her eyes to the doctor, while avoiding contact with either of us.“Can't you just speak with all of us? I don't want to have to choose.” Her voice was low and uneasy. I could tell she's uncomfortable and I hated that I was contributing to her uneasiness.“I mean, it's fine if you want to have them listen in. I just want you to be comfortable.” The doctor remarked and Sylvester turned to her.“I think you should choose, baby. I should be the one with you right , not a random person.” He said. I didn't miss his snide comment and despite wanting nothing more than to punch him in his face, I had to respect Priscilla too.“I…I don't want to choose.” She said, more like a whisper. Her eyes held fright and uneasiness.I noticed S

SYLVESTER’S POVI just stepped out of the shower when I started getting calls from one of my undercover guards. The one I sent close to Priscilla's pov, only with the mission of keeping her and the kids safe. It may sound strange but I could be quite overprotective of people I love and Priscilla was top on that list. I just couldn't let any harm get to her. I dabbed my head with the towel and picked up the phone to answer one of his calls. “What's going on?” I asked, expecting a full rundown of her daily activities but he sounded out of breath as he tried to speak. “Sir, there's a fire at her house. She's trapped inside the fire with the kids. I'm not sure she can make it out alive.” He rushed and fear gripped my heart. “Well, do something about it fast.” I yelled and rushed to my closet to pick an outfit. “There's nothing we can do. Half of the neighborhood is outside the door and we've tried all we can to break in but the door is locked from inside and won't budge under pressu

BRENT’S POVThe day slowly wound down to an unnerving evening for me. The production at the new facility cost a lot more money, time and human labor than we bargained for so all hands had to be on deck to work through it. I've managed to stuff my face with enough work that I barely had time to think about Priscilla. I was either in a meeting or leaving one, I also had to work in the factory when we got understaffed. “You know we can just hire someone to do what you're doing.” Evelyn said to me while I programmed one of the machines. I ignored her comment and returned to working, pouring my heart’s content into it. By the time we finished for the day, my muscles ached so badly that I knew I needed to take several days off. I made sure to be the last person to leave, well, I tried to be the last to leave but Evelyn insisted I had to go before her. “You know you don't need to do all these, Brent. You can just leave.” She insisted while I continued working until I could no longer bear

PRISCILLA’S POVAs I drove the kids back home, I couldn't get the thought of how messy things might get if they found out about the situation between Brent and I. All through the ride, I only listened to their talks absentmindedly while trying to figure out a way to get things together before they got out of hand. We got home and I hurriedly got the kids ready for dinner, they wanted an early dinner and I was glad they did too. “Aiden, get it together so I can brush your hair already.” I groaned in frustration while preparing them for the evening. “Mum, what are we having for dinner?” He asked, fiddling with his pajamas while Avery stared at her coloring book. “Potatoes and chicken.” I answered and Avery’s eyes turned to me in delight. She hugged me without saying anything and I hugged her back. I finished with them and went into the kitchen to start making the meal. They insisted on being in the kitchen with me and when I refused, Aiden broke down in tears while Avery sulked re

SYLVESTER’S POV“I can't believe she did all that to you right before the guards. Did you do something to caution her?” Damien asked, pouting me another glass of whiskey. I turned my eyes away from him in shame, the urge to rewind and go back to do things she won't forgive me for came rushing at me. “Wait, don't tell me you just let a woman talk down on you because of her two minions.” He said and I could gear the slight mockery in his voice. I looked back at him and found a teasing smile playing on his face so I shrugged. “What would you have me do? Whip her like a child? I doubt so.” I said gulping the content of the glass in one go. I passed the glass back to him and watched him fill it again in silence. However, this silence was filled with a lot of unspeakable words. “I used to look up to you, y’know. You're literally good with every single woman I've seen you with but this one, this one seems to be an exception.” He had a disappointing look in his eyes as he passed the glass
