ONIKA'S POV

“We're almost there” Laura yawned from beside me as she lounged back on the aeroplane’s seat.

I was sat by the window, my gaze fixed on the airport and runway lights that were fast approaching as we prepared to land.

“We're there already” I corrected her, my voice barely a whisper.

It was absurd, I found myself coming back to the country I had run away from because of my peace of mind has been threatened so many times by the people here.

Laura beside me adjusted in her seat, her arm brushed against mine and she stretched to look out the window. “Huh… it's still a bit dark”

“No kidding, Sherlock” I snorted. “It's 5 in the morning”

She stared at me blankly like she was trying to understand what I was saying then she smiled. “Don't be such an ass, Onika” she said matter-of-factly.

Rolling my eyes at her, I looked out the window. “I will have to go see Mr Sam Damon after we land. I should be able to contact him as soon as we're on ground” I muttered, more to myself than to her

He has eyes and ears everywhere. But how did he know I was going to stop here exactly.I looked and Sam the at Nathan, there was something fishy going on."Good morning Onika," he greeted.His voice sent shivers down my spine, it had being a while since I last heard his voice, I had missed it so much. But I couldn't let myself feel bad, I did what I had to do for my health and that of my child."Hello Nathan," I said as I sucked in my stomach to avoid his attention on it. I made a mental note t tell Laura to get something that could help me hide the pregnancy."You're back," he said like he didn't know what else he could say."Yes, as you can see of curse,I'm back," I replied. "That's great, I hope your gallery goes well," he muttered."Thank you," I mumbled, out conversations was so awkwar

    Onika's POV I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. My hands were shaking slightly, and no matter how much I tried to calm down, my mind wouldn't stop running.Seeing Nathan again had stirred up all kinds of feelings I had pushed away. I thought I was stronger than this. I thought time and distance would heal me. But the moment I saw him standing there, it all came rushing back the hurt, the anger, the love I didn’t want to admit was still there.Why did he have to show up now? And why was Sam acting like it was nothing?I sighed, pulling my knees to my chest.Maybe I had made a mistake leaving New York. Maybe running away wasn’t the best choice. But then I remembered the reason I left in the first place. I had to protect myself. And my baby.A soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts."Onika?" It was Laura.I wiped my face quickly, even though I hadn’t realized I was crying. "Come in," I said, my voice low.She walked in quietly and sat next to me. "You okay?"I

    Onika's POV The next morning, I woke up feeling drained. Sleep had been impossible, my mind kept running in circles, replaying the moment I saw Nathan again.I wished I didn’t care. I wished my heart didn’t react every time I saw him but it did and that scared me.I forced myself to get out of bed and get dressed. I had to focus on the gallery. That was the most important thing right now. Nothing else.Laura was already in the kitchen when I walked in, making coffee. She gave me a quick look before handing me a mug."You look like you barely slept," she said."I didn’t," I admitted, taking a sip.She hesitated. "You want to talk about it?"I shook my head. "No."She sighed but didn’t push. "Alright. But just so you know, keeping everything inside won’t help."Before I could respond, the doorbell rang amd a t the same time Sam came into the kitchen.The maid rushed to the door to find out who it was, she opened the door and allowed the guest to come.Who could it be?

    Onika's POV "Onika, there's a problem," Amara said as soon as she saw me walking I to the building.What could it be? I just stepped into the gallery and there's already a problem."You should have said hello first Amara, it's been a while since you saw ma" I muttered."I'm sorry, but this is really urgent," she replied.What could be so urgent to make her this tense and forget to welcome me.I walked to my office, Amara following beside me, some workers looked shocked to see me while some were happy, they couldn't his their happiness."What is the problem?" I asked a swe for closer to my office."There are some missing pieces," she dropped the bomb."What do you mean that some pieces are missing?" I asked. I clearly understood what she meant but I couldn't believe it."Some art pieces that are supposed to be exhibited are missing, including some of yours, we've searched every where, every storage but we couldn't find it," she explained."Fuck," I cursed.

    Onika's POV I have to find those pieces, without them this exhibit will be a disaster.A few days to the exhibition and strangely almost all my art works disappeared, what's an exhibition without its artwork. I paced around my office, thinking about the next move to make, I couldn't possibly get artist to make new ones in such short time, that wasn't possible even if you get the best artist which I don't think I can."Fuck, fuck, fuck," I cursed as I slammed my hands on the table.My headache was terrible it was as though my head had a beat. I picked up my phone and dialed a number."Amara, have you checked the camera footage?" I asked as I tapped my fingers on the table."Yes ma'am, they're analyzing it now," she replied.She rarely calls me ma'am, when she does there was trouble or some serious work."Analyze it fast and send it to me," I ordered before hanging.My belly growled at that point, I hadn't eaten anything since I came in here."I don't have time for this," I mumbled i

    Onika's POV I picked up the water bottle beside me and slurped it down.I picked up the phone and called Amara again."Amara, I need to see his face, get the best analyst and find out who he is, I don't care how long it would take," I ordered feeling determined to get to the root of this case."Yes ma'am, I was about to call you, we found pictures of one of the paintings online," she said."What!" I exclaimed, surprised at the words she said."It was one of the influencers, she bought it from some guy," Amara replied."What are you doing about this?" I asked."I've sent some people to her to find out who she got the pieces from and thankfully she's responding well," Amara replied.Relief washed over me, if we find the man who sold it to her we would find the culprit and the paintings. I will think of a way to compensate ger later.Maybe things weren't over yet.I tapped my fingers on the desk impatiently, my mind racing. I had to stay calm, but it was impossible.

    Nathan's POV I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as frustration settled deep in my chest. The numbers on the reports in front of me had blurred together hours ago, but I hadn’t stopped pretending to work, I stared blankly on the papers my attention far away.My mind had been stuck on her.Onika.Seeing her at the airport had done something to me, something that I didn’t want to acknowledge. She had always been stubborn, fiery, impossible to predict. And now she was back, standing in front of me after all these while, looking at me with those damn eyes that I couldn’t get out of my head.She hadn’t changed.Not really.The way she held herself, the way she spoke, the way she challenged me without saying a word, it was the same as before. But there was something else, too. Something different. A heaviness in her gaze, a quiet kind of pain that hadn’t been there before.I hated that I noticed it.She looked quite different from before, she was chubbier. Like she gained s

Have they found the pieces?All this questions couldn't let me concentrate, someone tried to squash her dreams and I must find out who and why.I picked up my phone to make a call to my mother, she's also a suspect to this, she had never liked Onika for a second, maybe she was angry that she's back.No matter the reason, if I find out that she's the one behind all of these, I will make her pay.I dialed her number, it rang for a while before she picked up the phone."Hello son," she said, her voice sophisticated as usual."Hey mom," I replied angry brewing in my voice."What is the reason for you call today? Or have you decided to leave that wretched thing of a girl and follow my decision," she said her voice dripping with spite and malice."She's not wretched, don't ever call her that and no I am never going to follow such stupid decisions of yours," I replied.She paused for a minute, my word

I could only nod my head walking back inside as she followed me quietly. "Who's that babe?" Nathan asked while serving the dish on the table."Nathan" his mother called from the living.

    Onika's POV "Let's leave this place" I said to Nathan feeling nauseous after see so much blood. I still can't believe that Gina killed herself just like that. Even though she made my life a living hell from the beginning, I was still willing to forgive her but she ended her own life just to escape prison. I feel like I'm the one to blame for this. Nathan held my hand in a comforting manner "it's not your fault Onika she brought it upon herself" he said leading me out of the hospital.

He asked. "Calm down doctor I haven't lost my memory yet" I replied him jokingly looking around the room in search for onika. "Any problem Mr McAllison?" He asked when he noticed me looking around confused. "Where is onika, doctor?" I asked him as he looked at me confused.

    Onika's POV I braced myself for death.Tears streamed down my face as I waited for the gunshot that would end my life. My chest tightened, my breaths coming in shallow gasps. My child... they wouldn’t get to see the world, to take their first breath, to feel my love.It was heartbreaking.I squeezed my eyes shut.But the bullet never came.“What the hell?” Gina's voice dripped with rage.My eyelids fluttered open, and through my blurry vision, I saw her shaking the gun, pulling the trigger repeatedly. Nothing happened.The gun was empty.A dry laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it.Gina’s furious gaze snapped toward me, and for a split second, I saw something else beneath her anger, panic. She hadn’t expected this.Her face twisted, and before I could react, she struck me hard across the face.Pain exploded in my skull, my head snapping to the side. Blood filled my mouth, the sharp metallic taste making me gag. I gasped, blinking through the ringing in my ears.“Just wait, Oni
