last update Last Updated: 2023-05-05 03:50:42

KEIRA’S POV

My eyes were on the road, and my hands firmly wrapped around the steering wheel, but my mind was in a distant place. The meeting I had with Clint a few minutes ago was all that plagued my mind. As soon as I slammed his front door, pain, embarrassment and sadness washed over me like a waterfall.

How could he do this to me?

I bit my inner lip as I slowly increased the pressure on the speed pedal. The moment I had gotten a call from Clint, I was overjoyed and my heart thumped with excitement. I never imagined that he would give me a call, inviting me over to his house. My whole body had been brimming with extreme excitement.

I rushed into a store to get a new set of lingerie and a bottle of wine. I wanted to look my best for him.

Although the drive was hours long, it felt longer. I was eager to see Clint, eager to feel his hands on me. My whole body brimmed with excitement throughout the drive. Once I parked my car in front of Clint’s house, I practically flew out of my ca

    KEIRA’S POVAs soon as I let myself into my apartment, I marched into my room and threw myself on my bed. My heart ached, but why? Why did I feel this pang in my chest?No, this was not the emotion I ought to feel. I was supposed to be enraged, and angry. Clint had just turned me down and refused to have sex with me. That is enough to make me mad. I did feel rage when I stormed out of his house, but that heightened anger was nowhere to be found again.The anger I felt earlier, was now replaced with a wistful sadness, a solemn feeling that left my heart empty. What could I do to get rid of this feeling? I kicked my heels off and curled up into a foetal position.My heart felt like it had been hammered and was now falling apart in tiny pieces. My body still tingled. The places he had touched me were still tingling and it annoyed me greatly. All my plans of spending a great evening with Clint were now null and void.What was he so frightened of? Having sexual relations with a client? I d

    KEIRA’s POVClint was serious. It had been a week since I had seen him and I was slowly starting to regret my actions. An email came in the day after I last saw him about my appointment schedule with my new therapist. I replied to the email requesting they return Clint as my therapist.I was yet to receive any feedback. It did not take a genius to figure out I had been completely ignored. Regardless of my realisation, I still hoped that he would reply to my email, and contact me the moment he sees it. I guess that was wishful thinking on my part.Clint's words lingered in my mind. They plagued my very being and kept eating at my conscience. The part where he blurted out he had problems of his own. Yes, every breathing being had one problem or the other but his... his I was more interested in. I wanted to know what worries plagued the one person I had bared my soul to. Clint knew almost everything about me while I never bothered for once to give a shit about him. Hearing him say he h

    KEIRA’s POVDays had gone by, and I had not gotten a glimpse of Clint ever since he referred me to the other therapist. I had assumed that he would give me a call, asking to see me or apologise for the way he had spoken to me and beg to be my therapist once again.But that was wistful thinking on my part. The more the days went by, the more I wanted to see him. Being separated from him for days felt like years and I could not take it any longer.Occasionally, I would glance at his office door on my way to Dr Kenswood’s office, hoping that maybe he would pop up and I would finally see him again. But that never happened. His door was always closed, and it felt like he was intentionally avoiding me. The thought of it broke my heart to a million pieces.Did Clint hate me that much, to the extent that he was avoiding me? Has my presence turned into a nuisance for him?It was obvious that I was the only one affected by his absence. At night, all I did was think of Clint. He was the only th

    KEIRA's POVI was beginning to lose my patience with this woman in front of me. She continued to stand in my way, unmoving, infuriating me to the core. We had only been apart for a few days and a woman was already in Clint's home. Was I that easy to replace? She looked more of his age but alluring nonetheless. Not more than I was, that is for sure. "Clint is not in." I could not tell if that was a lie or not. He would have shown up at the door by now. "It is best if you leave." "Look, I do not know who the hell you think you are, but I do not have time for this.""I am going to give you a bit of advice, kiddo," the woman said, still not moving out of the way. "Do not let Clint waste your time. You seem young and he might seem like someone you can't get enough of. But that is deceiving. He is only going to use you until he has had his fill." She spoke as if she knew him too well like she had been in the same position as I was. But no, Clint was not using me. I refused to believe it

    KEIRA's POVTears were brimming in my eyes as my lips trembled. I stood before my mum and brother's grave and gave myself a minute to let a few tears escape. Having a breakdown in the middle of a cemetery was not in my best interest. But I could bet that almost everyone that came here with a bouquet would do the same thing.My brother had to be one of the best humans that had walked this earth. Not because he is dead but because even while he wasn't here anymore, I lived by a lot of his mantras.I can remember him telling me that I'm some little firecracker. And that it was okay for me to let myself burn before I shined. And that was just one of them. He was really the one person that had my back even more than I did.But the tears were uncontrollable. I tried to take in slow, steady breaths as a remedy to calm myself down. Nothing worked. All I could feel was pure, gut-wrenching sadness that settled in the pits of my stomach.

    KEIRA's POVI decided to keep seeing Dr Kenswood as my therapist. It was time I got my life back on track and strive to be better. Mom would not have wanted me to turn out the way I did. I was doing this for her. I thought of all the things she would've wanted if she were still alive. First things first, she would want me to take school seriously and improve my grades. She would want me to live the best life even in her absence and not keep holding on to the past. It did more damage than I could have ever imagined. Staying away from Clint was also on my list of priorities. It was for the best, I kept telling myself. The goal was to get better, with or without Clint's help. I would have to start getting used to Dr Kenswood's sessions. They were nowhere near Clint's but it was still better than nothing. I still had my urges, though. They were more controlled now compared to before, but it was there. I no longer felt the need to fantasise about every hot male I came across. But Clint

    KEIRA's POVI was out of my car the minute I pulled up at the hospital's parking lot. I did not know what to expect from the doctors and the thought of it put me in anxiety. What was the worst that could happen when someone got a heart attack? I hated that I knew the answer to that question. I burst in through the hospital doors and rushed straight to the front desk, breathing as if I would just run a marathon. "I got a call from the hospital," I told the nurse who held a telephone to her ear. "My father suffered a heart attack and is admitted here. I am his daughter." "Name?" "Kane Temple." A few people seated at the reception caught my attention. Two girls consoled a woman who wept bitterly. Only the loss of someone would make a person cry that way. From the words that I overheard them say, the doctors could not save her son who got into an accident. My anxiety skyrocketed. What if they could not save Papa too? I imagined how hard being a doctor was. I imagined how heartbreak

    CLINT'S POVI did my last set of reps with the barbells and put them back in place. I pushed myself into a sitting position and heaved heavily as sweat trickled down my face.Coming to the gym was sort of a coping mechanism for me. It helped me relieve stress and take my mind off everything. With my ex-wife breathing down my neck, my stress levels were high.I would often find myself overthinking and that led to sleepless nights, which made me sleep-deprived. I pushed myself up from the bench and picked up a bottle of water, chugging down the contents. Being sleep deprived was something I detested. It lowered my performance at work and increased my stress even more. I sighed and looked at the large mirror right in front of me.My hair was a bit messy, and I noticed that the hairs on my chin had started sprouting out again. I needed a shave. I disposed of the plastic can of water and picked up my bag.I pulled out my phone and flipped through my contacts. I stopped at Keira's number

    KEIRAWhy was this happening? Why was she here?I looked at Martha with wide eyes, and a surge of fear and anxiety washed over me. I had been worried that she might try to crash our wedding, and now that fear seemed to be coming true. But then I turned to Clint, seeking reassurance and answers in his eyes.He shot me a confident smile and whispered, "Don't worry my love, I've got this under control." His words eased some of the tension in my chest, and I knew I could trust him to handle the situation.Without missing a beat, Clint pulled out his phone and made a call.

    KEIRA As I stood in the dressing room, gazing at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and anticipation. Today was the day I had been waiting for, the day I would marry Keira and officially make her mine.I adjusted the lapels of my navy blue suit, feeling the smooth fabric against my fingertips. The tailored cut hugged my frame perfectly, giving me a sense of confidence and elegance. The crisp white shirt peeking out from under the suit jacket added a touch of classic charm.I ran a hand through my hair, making sure it was perfectly styled. I wanted to look my best for Keira, to show her just how much she meant to me.As I looked at myself in the mirror, my thoughts drifted to Keira. I pictured her in the stunning wedding gown she had chosen, looking radiant and breathtaking.

    KEIRAMy eyes fluttered open as I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder. To my surprise, I found Clint standing there, his eyes filled with warmth and a wide smile gracing his lips. I couldn't help but mirror his smile, feeling a sense of comfort and joy at the sight of him."Good morning," he said softly, his voice carrying an air of excitement and anticipation. "Come with me, I have a surprise for you."Still half awake, I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you waking me up like this?" I mean, waking up to him was good, but I felt like I still needed some extra hours in bed.He shook his head, his smile never faltering. "Nothing's wrong, I promise. Just trust me and come with me."I cocked my eyebrow at him, curious, but skeptical about what was making him so giddy.Without warning, Clint took my hand in his and pulled me out of the bed."Hey, slow down," I giggled as he pulled me all the way out of the room.He led me down the stairs, and as soon as I stepped into the livi

    CLINTI went owl-eyed as I stared at Martha, who gave me an unreadable look. As I looked at her, a mixture of anger and frustration surged within me. I couldn't believe she had followed me to the shop, invading the private and joyful moment I had been savouring.Or maybe I was starting to get used to this, Martha and showing up to ruin things as though she hadn't ruined enough things for me already. After ruining more than five years of my life, I was more than certain that she was sent straight from Hades to steal any chance of happiness that I could get. It's not like I was going to let her, though.I watched as her eyes trailed to the bag in my hand, and before I could react, she spoke with a bitter tone, "So, you came here to shop for a ring. I guess you're serious about getting married to that woman."I gritted my teeth to maintain my composure, but her words stung like a sharp knife. "Martha, this is none of your business," I said firmly, my voice laced with irritation. She di

    CLINTI slowly reached out, holding the pregnancy test in my hands. The word "positive" was displayed clearly before my eyes, and I was struck with a mix of emotions that left me stunned. I blinked, trying to process the reality of what I was seeing. A surge of happiness bubbled up inside me, intertwined with a sense of uncertainty.My heart raced, and my mind raced even faster. The thought of Keira, the woman I loved, carrying our child was both thrilling and overwhelming. We had talked about a future together, but this was a new level of commitment and responsibility, and it left me feeling a bit unsteady.As I stood in the bathroom, I realised that the entire trajectory of our lives had shifted in an instant. Parenthood was a journey I hadn't been prepared for, but seeing the positive result brought an unexpected joy that I couldn't ignore.There was a certain glow of happiness that spread through me. Yet, at the same time, a question echoed in my mind – were we truly ready for thi

    KEIRA As I slowly opened my eyes, a wave of pain washed over me, centred in my head. My vision was hazy, but as it cleared, I realised I was back in the beach house, lying in a bed. Memories of last night began to flood back, and I winced as I recalled the intensity of the dancing and laughter, followed by my sudden sickness.My head throbbed relentlessly, and I tried to sit up, only to be met with a rush of dizziness. My body felt weak and unsteady like it had never before. Nausea twisted in the pit of my stomach, threatening to overwhelm me.For a moment, I lay still, taking deep breaths, trying to steady myself. The events of last night seemed like a whirlwind, and I couldn't quite grasp what had caused me to feel this way. My hand instinctively reached for my forehead, feeling the clamminess of my skin.I closed my eyes, trying to regain my composure. "What is happening to me?" I murmured to myself, my voice weak.My head still ached as I grabbed my phone, deciding to look up m

    CLINTEven though I had been able to give Keira three orgasms from when we left the restaurant, I knew that we still had to talk, and the look on my little girl's face was the only confirmation that I needed. Damn Martha. The dimly lit bar provided a somber backdrop to the tension that hung between us. As we sipped our wine in silence, the weight of unspoken words weighed heavily on my heart. It was Keira who broke the stillness, her voice soft and hesitant."What's going on, Clint?" she asked, her eyes searching mine for answers.I took a deep breath, knowing I couldn't keep the truth from her any longer. "Martha has been sending me texts," I admitted, my voice tinged with discomfort. "She said she missed me and wanted to talk."If I had my way, I would keep it from Keira so that she would not have to worry about something as trivial as Martha's annoying feelings. But since it had come to this, there was no hiding anything again. Without a word, I pulled out my phone and showed he

    KEIRA"I should not be doing this," I mumbled to myself as I got out of the cab and then covered the remaining distance by foot. My heart pounded in my chest as I stood outside, pacing anxiously around Clint's car. His abrupt departure from the house had taken me by surprise, and something inside me urged me to follow him. I was tired of him hiding things from me, tired of feeling left in the dark. Especially when it felt like something that would affect both of us. Instinct took over, and without a second thought, I walked towards the restaurant he had driven to. Through the glass window, I saw him seated with a woman, her face all too familiar – his ex-wife, Martha, nothing prepared me for this and the sight hit me like a dagger to the heart. My heart clenched tightly and I took a deep breath to relieve the pain that was slamming at me from every part of my body. Was Martha the reason why he had been acting all weird? What was going on between them? I watched as they converse

    CLINTI stood in the dimly lit room, my phone held tightly in my hands, my gaze fixed on the screen for what seemed like an eternity. Keira's voice interrupted my trance, pulling me back to the present."Clint, what's the problem? You've been staring at your phone for a while now."I blinked, trying to compose myself, but my mind was already racing. "I... I'll be back," I replied, my voice hurried and distracted. Without giving her a chance to respond, I abruptly left the room, a sense of urgency propelling me forward.Frantically, I grabbed my coat from the hanger and fumbled for my car keys. I needed to move, to do something, anything, to find the answers that eluded me. The weight of the unknown burdened my thoughts, and I couldn't ignore the gnawing feeling that something was going to go wrong.As I rushed to my car, my heart pounded in my chest, matching the rhythm of my hurried footsteps."Clint!"
