TORI'S POV
A 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."
IAN'S POVIts been a week since i spoke to Fabian. The news he had for me made me have sleepless nights due to overthinking. Hetold me how Tori's family abandoned her when she got pregnant and how she had to stop schooling. She was on her own,with no family or friends or money and suffered a lot. He also said she was with no man since then. I was beyondconfused. So that's the reason why she's broke and has to work. Even Fabian is convinced that I'm the father of her childbecause to him, we look alike and Tori has been with no other guy. Fabian is really good at his job.Alyssa noticed my lack of enthusiasm these past days and when she asked, i said
WRITER'S POV.Ian was beyond furious, he drove past the speed limit to Tori's house. Tina kept telling him to slow down but he ignoredher. He was angry because Tori didn't tell him he had a child, and even when he had asked, she refused. What was shethinking? That he'll take the child from her? It was possible but he wouldn't do something like that to her. A lot wasgoing through his mind and all he wanted at the moment was to talk to Tori and his child.Meanwhile, Tori was trying hard to give Dahlia her medication but the little girl kept crying. "Please baby, you need totake your medicine."
WRITER'S POVTori quietly shut Dahlia's door and walked past Ian, going to the kitchen. Ian followed her and watched as she poured aglass of cold water for herself and drank everything at once, then refilled the glass again."Your sister left already." He said in an attempt to start a conversation but Tori only shrugged."Uhh...and I'm sorry I came here unannounced." He continued, and just like before, Tori shrugged. She just didn't wantto talk because she knew it would only make her cry, and she didn't want to cry before Ian.
TORI'S POVI heard Ian shut the door behind him and i silently broke down and cried, hugging myself in the process. I felt so lonely,so empty. What happened to all the love we once shared? To all our dreams? And to think he moved on from me soeasily. While I was busy working hard for myself and our daughter, he was living the dream life with that girl.But he did say he tried to reach you. He's sorry for everything. Goodness girl, the guy knelt before you and apologized.I know my inner girl is an Ian fan, and i also know she's right sometimes. At least he didn't
TORI'S POVIrrespective of Dahlia's tantrum, we still carried out the transfusion. Ian wanted us to talk about the incidence earlier but itold him it could wait till after Dahlia was discharged from the hospital. The transfusion was successful and the doctorsaid Dahlia would be fine. Ian insisted on paying the bills and i strongly refused, but he still did it anyway. Zach wenthome to cook something nice. Pecks of having a chef as your friend.Dahlia had a private room and was fast asleep. I sat on the chair by her bed and watched her sleeping body while Ianstood by the window
IAN'S POV"Just stop lying to me, Ian. I called the office and they said you weren't in any damn meeting. You weren't in your parentshouse and you sure as hell wasn't at Michael's or Fabian's or Zach's house. So where the hell have you been going to?You've been lying to me, right? Do you have another woman?" Alyssa asked angrily.Okay, maybe i shouldn't have lied about being in the office. Now she's throwing a bitch fit. And i need to leave nowbecause Tori is waiting for me. I have to take Dahlia out and with the way I've planned this day, Alyssa can't ruin i
IAN'S POVA few minutes later, we arrived at the park, thankfully, it wasn't so crowded. Only a few families were there, and ilooked down at my daughter. She's my own family. "Hey honeybunch, wanna get some icecream?"She just shrugged and looked away. I know she's acting that way because she's not used to being with me and she doesn'teven like me. But i won't give up. I'll do everything i can to deserve her love. She's a good kid and i know she'll find it inher heart to love me."Come, we'll get you your favorite flavor." I said as i lifted her up to my hips.

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
