[Fiona’s POV]Heath was clearly annoyed by me jumping to go to the hospital, which was a surprise to me as he had always seemed to enjoy supporting me.Guess it is different now, with the scar and this new crisis in my life. I guess the love drug is wearing off now.“We have arrived,” I heard Heath’s unimpressed voice chime.“You can stay here. It is clear you don’t want to be here,” I said, and before he could even protest, I was already out of the car.I found Gian in the hallway. I didn’t even have to search for him, but surprisingly, he didn’t look distraught, he must be numb to this already, he had gone through this enough to not care about it anymore.“Gian?” I called out, his face lit up immediately when he saw me.“Oh…. Fiona, thank heavens you are here,” he says, “please go to Clover, she needs you, she is not listening to anyone.”“I understand Gian, she just lost…...”“Oh… No, she didn’t lose the baby,” he says happily, “she was saved, she was born prematurely.”I can see t
[Third Person POV] After arriving at the empty house, Heath calls his security team to start monitoring Fiona from Gian’s house, since she will be living there for the time being. He hated it, everything happening just seemed to annoy him alone and he hated how no one seemed to notice what he had been noticing, and worse of all, Fiona was getting angry at him. He sighed, maybe he should relay his message in a better way. Communication was never his strongest trait. The people who raised him had deprived him of a healthy way to communicate as they showed their emotions through hurting each other. “What should I do now?” he said out loud. He felt like he was losing Fiona. In fact, it is not a feeling, it is actually a reality. He was sure he was behaving a bit childish, but couldn’t Fiona just listen to him more. ‘Then again, I am not even telling her what is bothering me,’ he says to himself. ‘I should talk to her.’ His night was quite unsettled, he couldn’t sleep a wink, he kn
[FIONA’S POV]Heath Duncan has been the only thing on my mind these past few days, Love. Was it love I felt for this man, but what kind of love was it?I have loved before, but never have I loved enough to not want to let go of anyone. Every time I had loved, when I was mistreated, I had always left.But now I felt hesitant to leave him, when he informed me about Esther being here and out to get me, he sounded caring, loving. When his actions prior were not caring at all.And now he is always acting strangely, being angry out of nowhere and being interested in what I was interested in, like usual.“Miss Lennon, the meeting will start soon,” Jennie tells me. Jennie would always take-over for me when I was filling in for Gian.“I will be with you,” I told her. I planned to call back at Gian’s house to find out how Heath was doing. His state this morning terrified me.Yes, our fight the previous day wa
[Third person POV]When Heath and Fiona arrive at the hospital, they find Gian and Clover ready for them. It seemed they had already had a talk amongst themselves.“Hey guys,” Fiona says walking to Clover’s side, “how have you been? I could come check on you today. It was busy.”“It is okay, Selby came, she brought me the tasty sushi I like so much,” Clover says, “I missed it since I couldn’t eat it during the pregnancy.”“That is very thoughtful of her.” Fiona says awkwardly, “is anything the matter?”“How have you wound been? I was so engrossed with my baby I didn’t ask,” Clover says.“I am managing, it gets sore here and there, but it is getting better,” Fiona explains.Heath’s face had lit up, it seemed they had finally noticed that his worries were not just him crying wolf.“I talked to Jennie, she
[Fiona’s POV] “Okay Lucas, what brings you here?” I asked him, he nervously sat on the couch across from me. I had moved back to Heath’s place after the talk with Gian and Clover, though I would see Lucas now and then when he visited Heath or when he drove Selby, to come and see me, he was kind of distant. “Um…. So… I have been thinking,” he speaks, “it might seem too quick or maybe I am rushing things, but I feel like this is the right time.” “The right time for me?” “I want to ask Selby to marry me,” he says. I feel mixed emotions. Marriage? Now? He might be right about this too suddenly. “But…. Lucas, you haven’t introduced her to your family yet and you haven’t met her family either,” I reasoned. “Oh…. I am going to meet her parents next month. I plan to ask her father for her hand in marriage,” he said so confidently. I looked at him bewildered, “ask Selby’s father for her hand in marriage the first time you met him?” I asked. He nodded confused as to why I was surpris
[Heath’s POV] The tall elderly man was surely intimidating, not only his voice but his build as well; an elderly man with a sweet smile. “Dad,” I heard Fiona chime. I am completely confused by this. Fiona’s parents had passed on, so why is she calling that man dad? She quickly runs to hug the couple, who embraces her back warmly, “I miss you so much, how have you been?” “Huh…... miss us? Don’t lie child, you could have visited if you missed us,” the elderly man said, earning a smack on his head from his wife. “Robert, don’t talk to a child like that, in your old age you still act childish,” the lady says, “don’t mind him child, you know what your father is like.” “I understand mom, this grinch doesn’t want to let go of his ways,” she teases. This confuses me even further. Did she lie about her parents dying? “And who is this fine young man,” the lady says, moving closer to me and Lewis. “Oh…. Um…. Mom, this is my boyfriend Heath,” Fiona says shyly. “Heath, these are Sleby’s p
[Fiona’s POV] I wake up late in the afternoon, with the day to myself. I have woken up once to see Heath go to work, go back to sleep, and wake up again in the afternoon. It felt a bit good to not stress about work for the first two weeks, but it feels so depressing to stay home and do nothing. I hear a soft knock on the door which is followed by another loud and aggressive knock. I can deduce who is at the door already because I hear Mrs. Green say. “Selby don’t knock like that, poor Fiona must be resting,” she scolds in that soft and loving tone. “Mom, welcome,” with a warm hug, we greeted each other. “Wait till I tell you what dad did,” Selby says angrily. “What did he do?” I asked. I ushered them in as I caught up with what had been happening while I was asleep. “Come on stop exaggerating, your father would never do that,” Mrs. Green says, “he is probably getting to know them.” “He kidnapped them mom. How would you explain him buying a gun first thing this morning?” “I a
[Heath’s POV]Paint, the moment he pulled his trigger, cold paint hits my face, he smirks before saying “alright boys, let us have some fun, while the ladies hang-out.”“Um…… sir, don’t we have to change to a more…...”Lucas’s attempt to reason with Mr. Green is cut shot by a big red ball of paint on his suit, “come on let us all start with our teams,” Mr. Green says ignoring Lucas.Hot-headed and stubborn, that is how Fiona described him, and though he infuriated me, I still needed his approval to marry Fiona.We are grouped with one of his old friends and the rules are set, we are all given paintguns with clear instructions on how to use them.“Okay kids, let us see what you have,” he mocks. I hate how effortless he seems. We haven’t even started, but I can already see us losing.And losing we did, again, and again, and again, “come on Heath we are not winning this, can’t we just give up already.”“You know if we give up, we are not getting the blessing to date/marry his daughters,
[Fiona’s POV]People around ran to help me up, while I saw this woman look at me before grinning, pulling away from the hug.“Oh… sorry, I didn’t mean to do that, you are rather weak,” she teases before laughing mockingly.“Who the f*ck are you and what the hell did you do to my girlfriend?” Heath seethes, balling his fists angrily.She is definitely not expecting this reaction out of him, because she jumps back terrified.“Heath, it is me, Mimi, you can’t say you forgot me,” she reasons, “I…. I was just so excited to see you. I didn’t mean to hurt her.”“Mimi from where? I don’t know any Mimi,” Heath says, “and please refrain from manhandling me again or there will be hell. A matter of fact, I am surprised you are still alive after hurting my girlfriend.”I chuckled evilly, Heath had a past. I knew that when I met him, but his past had nothing to do with me, so this woman had no right to try and bully me.“Can we not waste our energy darling, I was about to win,” I teased, not paying
[Fiona’s POV]Gabriel really did a good job picking this hotel. It was homely, the elderly couple that greeted us at the reception and everyone who showed us to our room.They were both friendly and welcoming, and it made me happy.“This place is cool,” I say happily looking around, it was not a five-star hotel.It was a few stories, built with every architectural care needed.“Yes, it is,” he says, his face is clearly genuine, it might not be a five-star golden heights, but it is enough for me.I am still in awe of ho protective Dean had acted, the way he stood up for me really turned me on.“I will never get over of seeing you stand for me,” I tell him, he grins.“Well, I will always stand up for my woman, because she is the best,” he giggles before taking my lips.He mumbles something under our kiss, but I am too engulfed in the dirty thoughts of him inside me to even care.Taking a chance with Heath Duncan was the best idea ever. This is the best vacation ever.“Ugh……. Not this ag
[Heath POV]My bad ways coming back to bite me, but what made me angrier was how this man was so okay with insulting her.Fiona looked at him with shock, but soon sighed heavily.“May you please repeat what you just said?”My anger was evident in my voice, “well…... um…. Sir…. Last time you came here with someone you requested separate bedrooms.”“And? This time I have told you specifically, I need one room since I am bringing my GIRLFRIEND with me.”He is shocked and rather embarrassed. He bows his head in shame before saying, “I apologize sir, I will get your rooms at your request.”That is not good enough, the way he looked cocky after saying his first words bugged me.How dare he feel so confident in insulting his Fiona?“You are apologizing to the wrong person,” I firmly said.His face is shocked at first, he looks at Fiona with so much contempt, I loudly scoff at his reaction.“It is fine, Heath, he doesn’t need to.”“She is right. Why don’t we just get on with our day,” the way
[Fiona’s POV]With Selby’s father gone, it was time for Heath to commit to his promise to take him on a vacation and commit he did.“Vegas? I had always wanted to go to Vegas, how did you know?” I squealed happily, a man who does his homework is my type of man.“I am close to your friends, plus there is so much that could happen in Vegas that could be good for me.”I rolled my eyes at that, since his conversations with Mr. Green, he had been a nuisance, “I am not marrying you in Vegas Heath.”A beautiful laugh fills the room, he is so beautiful when he laughs, it makes you want to just smile at him.“Come pack your bags, Vegas isn’t going to explore itself,” he says, and I rush to our bedroom, “careful, you might fall.”This is the best gift ever, travelling the world. I have put that on hold since I started working. Each year I always tell myself, it is not time yet.But now, this feels right, travelling more. Maybe I should start now, stop worrying about work and travel more.I coul
