IAN's POV
It'd been three days since Nonna's party and I still couldn't shake of the sadness in me. Who could imagine that all thiswhile that Zach's been bragging about his new girl, she turns out to be Tori? My TORI? And the baby she was with. Herbaby for a fact since the adorable child called her 'mommy'. Why did it feel like I knew the child? Plus she had some ofmy features. Dark brown eyes and curly brown hair. Wait! What if Tori was already married?
Don't be a dumbass. If she was married would you have seen her with Zach?
TORI'S POVI was in the grocery shop down the road when a white Bentley drove past us. I saw it cause I was at the window. It wasrear to see such cars in this neighbourhood. But then I remembered Zach had a lot of cars and he's been coming here a lotlately. Maybe he's the one. I quickly made my way to the counter and paid for the food items I got. I walked a smalldistance and noticed the car was parked in front of my apartment building. Oh. It must be Zach. Just then, Rita startedcalling. I didn't see it necessary to answer when I was just about two minutes to my home, that would be wasting herphone credit.I walked up to my door and opened it with
IAN'S POV"And as you walk out of that door, walk out of my life as well."Those words kept playing in my mind. I couldn't concentrate on my driving. I kept running my fingers through my hair infrustration. I could tell she was lying. I knew her so well. I could tell when she was lying and when she was not. The lookin her eyes...she could hardly look at me.And Dahlia? She is such a lovely child. I can't get my mind off her. Asking for a DNA test would simply be an insult toTori. I mean, I've not been there for the past four years. Not that it was intentional. I really tr
TORI'S POVThe week passed by so fast and it was already Monday morning. I looked at my daughter in her new school uniform. Shelooked so pretty. I enrolled her in the same school with Bella. At least, she should know someone so she won't be lonely. Ibecame teary eyed looking at my little princess as she kept posing happily for me. She was beyond excited to startschool."I look great, right momma?" She asked in a cheerful mood.I smiled and nodded, pulling her into a bear hug. "You're so beautiful. I bet you'd be the prettiest girl in your class." I toldher, increasing
TORI'S POVI was so lucky that Rico gave me another chance to work for him. I was grateful that he understood my situation. He's agood man and if i wasn't so stuck up with my past and issues with guys, I'll have given him the chance he'd been askingfor.Finn was super excited i was back to working with him. I mean, I had only been gone for a week but he made it seemlike i was gone for a whole year. He even promised to treat me to dinner. Of course, Dahlia included. He was so happythat I enrolled Dahlia in school, saying....'finally, her smart mouth would be put to good use.' I laughed at his corny joke.
TORI'S POV."So tell me honey, what was the favorite part of your day?" I asked Dahlia as i made some chicken sauce. Zach said hewould stop by to see Dahlia no matter how much i told him its not necessary. He insisted, saying he had a rough day andDahlia and I were the only people he wanted to see at the moment.Dahlia looked up at me from the story book she had in her hands. "Being introduced to everyone in class."
IAN'S POVLuck was on my side.... the moment i reached the school, i saw Andrea. She was friends with Tori back in high schooland always rooted for the two of us. She was beyond excited to see me after so many years. The cute young brunettefrom high school had grown so big. Apparently, she is a teacher in the pre school and had stayed back after classes to getsome work done. That's why i was lucky enough to see her. When she inquired about what i was doing in a pre school, ihonestly did not know what to say. I scratched my forehead."Wait....Do you have a child enrolled here?" She asked with so much enthusiasm.
TORI'S POVA week had passed since i met Andrea and Ian. I honestly don't know why Ian was in that school. Something was notadding up. Is he now stalking my daughter? I hope not. As for Andrea, I wasn't ready to talk to her. She never didanything wrong. She was in Canada when Ian left me and had no idea about my pregnancy. I just couldn't face her andtell her i did not finish school or achieve any of my plans because i got knocked up. So for the past week, i begged Ritaand Susan to drop and pick up Dahlia from school.I had to work
TORI'S POV"Uhhh...aunt...i came to see..." Zach was going to answer but the doctor walked out.The male doctor looked up from the chart he was holding. "Dahlia Donovan?""Yes...I'm her mom." I chirped in immediately.Ian's mom scoffed. "Its not strange you got knocked up so early."I ignored her and looked back at the doctor. "How's my child?"The doctor looked at Zach. "Is this her father?"Ian's mother looked shocked. "Zach? No way."
WRITER'S POV*Seven years later*"And the valedictorian of this year is none other than, Tori Donovan Weizmann." The man behind the microphone said."Please come up and deliver the valedictory speech."Tori stood up with a very wide smile on her lips and looked at her family who sat at the front row, cheering her. All herclassmates were shouting praises and clapping. Finally, her dream of becoming a pharmacist was happening. After 6 longyears. However, those were the best six years of her life as her husband and kids were the most supportive people in theworld.Dahlia who
WRITER'S POV"So you're really not gonna invite mom and dad and our sister?" Tina asked in a low tone, still feeling guilty that the restof the family abandoned Tori. She rubbed her baby bump which was already very visible and shuttered at the thought ofthat same family rejecting her once they found out about her own pregnancy.Tori rolled her eyes. "No. They turned their backs on me when I needed them so there's no need for them to be herewhen I do not need them. Are you even hearing yourself, sis? If they come and see that protruding belly, they gonna startacting like Saints and condemning you. I do not want them at my wedding." She deadpanned.
WRITER'S POV"Mommy!" Dahlia screamed as she ran into her mom's arms. "I missed you!"Tori smiled as she carried her daughter in her arms. "I missed you too my baby. Just a few hours without you feels likeeternity." Tori said as she deepened the hug and inhaled Dahlia's baby smell.Ian cleared his throat, causing Tori and Tina to laugh. "I see my baby didn't miss me too." He teased Dahlia who blushedadorably. He opened his arms and she hurriedly hugged him. "So you really did miss me after all.""Of course daddy, I missed you." Dahlia said with and flashed an adorable
WRITER'S POV"I really can't help you now Nonna, I'm stuck at work. Why don't you just ask one of the maids at home to help youanyway? I mean I pay them for that." Ian said in frustration as he typed away on his MacBook, the call on speakerbecause he was too busy to hold it. With what had been happening, he realized that he had missed a lot of work andneeded to catch up before his businesses collapsed.He heard Nonna whine. "That's why you're my grandson. If you do not help
TORI'S POVHearing that Zach was in the house, I rushed out to see him not caring about how much of a mess I looked."Jesus Christ! What happened to you? Why are you crying?" Zach explained the moment he saw me. "I came to checkup on you since I left you yesterday. Now I regret leaving you. Did Ian hurt you? If he did I swear I'll cut off his balls."I felt ashamed of myself. Everyone always blamed Ian and he wasn't the bad guy. In this case, it was safe to say I was thebad guy. I shook my head. "No Zach, Ian didn't do anything. I did."
TORI'S POVI placed my hand on my chest to ease the pain I was feeling but to no avail. I forced myself to check the house once againbut who was I kidding? Ian wasn't here, he had gone. He always did. There was no consistency when it came to him.Once again he had slept with me and gone. And the worst part was there was no way for me to call for help.Plus this is a Monday morning, Dahlia needs to be in school. My goodness, she must be so worried. I really hope Tinatook her already. My heart was aching. It was killing me to think I let my guards down and was once again deceived.How stupid could I be? Why did I let myself fall in love with him once again
WRITER'S POVAll Ian needed was the go ahead signal from Tori. He had craved for her body for the past years and no matter how hardTori tried to deny it too, she has been craving for a man's touch. She had been craving for Ian's touch."You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful sunshine." Ian said as he sucked on her neck. His dick was already so hard andwas starting to feel uncomfortable in his boxers. Breaking the kiss for a minute, he stared at Tori and smiled. "Pleasepermit me to worship your body, grant me the permission, sunshine."
TORI'S POV"Ian..." I called out for the second time as I slowly opened the door. I really hope he's in here cause I wouldn't know whatto do if he's not. And to think I sent Zach away. "Ian are you in here?" I asked as I shut the door behind me but got noanswer. The house was so beautiful. The aura was perfect although very cold. I surveyed the area and took a few moresteps ahead. "Ian...it's Tori. Are you in here?" I asked, my heart starting to race. I heard some sounds and cautiouslyfollowed it and stopped when I saw him sitting in front of a fire place. "Ian?"
TORI'S POV"You need to calm down sis, you're giving me a headache with all that movement , you know?" Tina said.I sighed. "I don't know Tina, he said he was going to be here by three to take Dahlia to the park and it's already five.Look, he can stand me up but not Dahlia. The kid is waiting for him all dressed up. He disappointed her. You might sayit's just this one time but it might continue.""Sheesh. Maybe something held him up, he's a businessman for crying out loud." She tried to make sense out of thesituation but I wasn't getting it.I rolled my eyes. "Then th
