TORI'S POV
I realized I had been crying a lot lately so I made up my mind to stop crying. I won't shed a single tear again. Dahlia stilldidn't have school today and I was still jobless so we had the day all to ourselves. Luckily for me, I had cash cause for thepast week, Ian and Zach had taken care of everything. Talking about Ian, I smiled sadly at the bracelet he got for me. Itwas so beautiful and my name was beautifully written on it. As much as I was tempted to wear it, I wasn't going to causethat would mean I had forgiven him when in reality, I hadn't. So I kept the bracelet in a safe place. A place where Iwasn't going to see it and be tempted to wear it.

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.

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."

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?"
