MAYA POVKeeping secrets from Lisa wasn't easy at all. I really wanted to tell her I met Daniel yesterday. She's my best friend. I shouldn't keep this from her. I will talk to her about it today.I drove into the Downs mansion, I stopped in front of my second home and gave the keys to the chauffeur. I walked into the house with every guard acknowledging my presence when I saw Mr Wills. He has been our butler since Lisa and I were little.“Hey Mr Wills” I yelled waving my hands to him. He turned to be and groaned, he obviously was tired of me but I still loved him and he was fun to annoy. I ran to him and hugged him, “Mr Wills I missed you so much”He pulled away “Miss Grey it is inappropriate to ambush and old man like that”“Oh come on and already called out to you” I said pulling his cheeks which he wacked my hands away,“Same thing miss Grey” he turns to keep walking when I blocked him,“I just said I missed you Mr Wills, didn't you miss me?” I asked, acting cute and blinking my ey
GEORGE POV“Thank you for updating me on Maya's meeting with the Winstons” I said to Ben who was sitting across from me.“I was only trying to help, plus you've been really stressed because of Lisa pregnancy” he said with a concerned expression.With a smile,“My very friend, you know me so well, but I'm not stressed because she's pregnant ….. I'm just worried my princess might think I hate her or I don't care about her” “Cause she's locked at home?” He asked with a raised brow, “you're just trying to keep her safe…..”I cut in “but she doesn't know that….she….she doesn't know how dangerous that family is and what they're capable of doing”.*****SEAN POV“How can you say I can't see my son right now?” I asked the very young secretary who I'm sure is new, Daniel and his nasty temper, I'm guessing he fired May.“Sir you'll have to show me prove that you're his father, I’ve had so many people come here claiming to be Mr Winston's father, so I can not let you in” she said sweetly annoyin
DANIEL POV“The answer is NO” Dad's voice echoed in my head, making me furious.I chuckled, “I wasn't asking for permission.”Walking towards me,he said, “You don't understand son, George will not let you get close to his daughter”“Well,” walking to my desk I pick my my suit jacket, “I have already gotten close to her” smirking, "Se sai cosa voglio dire”(“If you know what I mean”)Mark and I smile at the meaning of my sentence. I put my jacket on and starting walking to the door, Dad held onto my arm turning me to him,“Our families have a history” dad whispered.“No ... .you have a history with him, it has nothing to do with Lisa and I” I whisper back, freeing my arm from his hold I say, “so don't try to get in my way,” I turned walking to the door."Dove stai andando?” (“where are you going?”)"Per gestire chiunque si metta con me,” (“To deal with anyone who messes with me,)” I turn to Mark, “come on.” Mark holds my hands and whisper in my ears “Why don't you listen to what your
LISA POVI was bored from sitting in my room and decided to walk around the house when I walked into my office. I stood at the door to take in the atmosphere I so missed. I saw that it was still as it was, nothing was changed or touched, even my scattered desk. I smile remembering how I left in a hurry because of Maya.I finally walked in, touching the center table, I slowly walked to my desk still looking around, I traced my fingers through my desk and sat on my chair, I sighed, “I miss this,” inhaling.“See, I didn't touch anything” the sudden voice startled me making me turn in my chair to the door and saw uncle Ben at the door.I smiled and turned back to my desk, “I knew you would be the one to keep my things in tact.”Walking in he said, “Don't you trust your uncle Ben” with a chuckle he sat on the sofa in the middle of my office“Of course I do, more than anything” I stood up and walked to the couch next to him to sit.“So…you ready to tell me how you've been coping, your dad i
MAYA POVI got a call from my sexy Goddess whose name is Tiana. She wanted to meet up because she missed me. I'm currently waiting for her at Casa Bleve nervously and I saw her walk in, in all her glory. She was in a gold dress with chains dangling down her neck trying to cover her breasts.I dressed in a short leather tight gown with enough cleavage to show today. I want her to miss me and want me just as I want her. She turns and sees me smiling as she walks to our table.“Hey….” I tried to say but she leaned down and kissed me in a slow intimate way, making me moan.Pulling back, she said, “I missed you baby” walking around. She took the seat next to mine, “did I keep you waiting?”With a smile, “no, I just came in,” she just stared with one brows lifted at me trying to tell me she wasn't buying that, laughing nervously, “uh…, well just a little,” and I quickly added, “but that's totally on me, I came pretty early,” ending with a smile.Chuckling, “it's okay,” taking a hold of my h
DANIEL POVI was just staring at Mark as he kept on rambling about a female he met on the roadside and how great the sex was. He knew what I wanted to hear but he just ignored me and kept talking. I couldn't hold it back anymore, I turned to him and said,“What does this have to do with Lisa?” Giving him a death glare and all he did was grin, “stop messing around Mark, did you get any information.”“On what?” Acting dumb. I quickly stood up and pointed a gun to him and he just relaxed like I wasn't going to pull the trigger.“Don't mess with me, what the fuck did you find out”“If you would ask nicely…..” I turned, pulled the trigger and turned back to him.“Next will be your legs” point the gun to his legs, he raises his hands in surrender.Pouting, “If you had asked nicely I would have given it to….. you should have at least listened to my story”“Oh my goodness Mark I will fucking blow your head off” “Fine,” he pulls out something, was it a card, it was a card and handed it over t
MAYA POVCross checking my things to know if I have everything intact before leaving for Tiana's place. Yeah, well I just called Tiana to meet up with me, I miss her but we have something to settle to. Walking to my car I heard my phone ring and immediately picked it up without checking the caller ID, I just assumed it was Tiana.“Impatient are we?” I said smiling, but the voice I heard wasn't what I was expecting.“I think I have given you enough time to process everything, right Maya?”I took the phone from my ears and looked at the screen, it was an unknown caller ID, I quickly put the phone back to my ears, “Who are you?” I asked.“Slow down ragazza,”(Little girl) I heard a chuckle through the phone, “it's Daniel Winston speaking.”Just hearing his name made me gulp hard, I wasn't scared of him, alittle, but I promise Mr Downs never to associate with them, “what do you want?”“Don't be like that ragazza, you promised to help my man Mark, unless you don't keep to your words”“Don’t
LISA POVIt's night I noticed, it's been hours since Maya stormed out in anger, I walked to the parlour and slowly sat on the couch still holding the piece of paper Maya gave to me tightly in my hands. Was I furious? Of course I was furious, Maya always made things difficult with her overthinking attitude. I know I shouldn't have yelled at her but how could she just explode like that.I looked at the paper in my hands and slowly opened it to see what's inside, a number was written in it with Daniel written at the side. I didn't believe it, I would be able to speak to Daniel again, all I have to do is just type this number and dial. I missed him, I slowly touched where his name was written, smiling for a while. I completely forgot about the environment and focused on Daniel's name and the possibility of speaking to him again. I subconsciously touched the bump on my tummy still looking at Daniel's name when I felt a hand on my shoulder, startled. I quickly folded the piece of paper and
SEAN POVI have been sitting in my office all day, refusing to see anyone. It's the day, the 21st of April, my wife Liliana’s birthday.

She was the sweetest and best person you can ever meet, and she was best friends with Amelia, George's wife.The two of them clicked from day one when they met each other and became more close when they found out they shared the same birthday.

BEN POVI barged into George's office and saw him scribbling something, he looks up to see it was me who walked in without knocking and continued how scribbling,“What do I owe for this sudden visit?” With quick strides I approached George and banged my hands on his table but he didn't seem to flinch, “what's this about Paris? Why are you sending Lisa far?”Still writing he said nonchalantly, “ ‘cause she loves Paris and has wanted to visit”“Don't give me that bullshit George, you're sending her away, on purpose”Finally dropped the pen and looked up to me, “what's your deal with Paris?”Exhaling, “I'm just worried you're sending her away to a far away place alone”Relaxing on his chair, “she won't be alone, she has Jeremiah,” sitting up on his chair he leaned on the table, “plus you're the one that suggested that I keep her safe and away from the Winstons no matter what.”Sighing loudly, I turned, running my hands through my hair before turning back to George who had a confused loo
LISA POVI'm having dinner with uncle Ben and my father. We ate in a peaceful silence, only the sounds of knives, forks or spoons making impact with the plate made noise. The guards always stood far away from us whenever we sat to eat but father made an exception for Jeremiah. When my father said Jeremiah was never leaving my side, Ihe really meant it.He stood a few meters away from my chair as I ate, I could feel his eyes burning through my skin. Everytime I glanced towards Jeremiah, he was always staring at me like I was going to disappear. His icy blue eyes stared deep into my soul like he was searching for something.I felt a hand on mine peeling my eyes away from Jeremiah. I turned to see my father staring at me with a questioning expression.“Did you hear what I said?” Dad asked.Looking between Dad and Uncle Ben, “what?”“You weren't listening pumpkin,” taking a sip from his wine, “is everything alright?”Looking back at Jeremiah, I slowly pulled my hands away from uncle Bens
LISA POVI was excited to speak with Lisa yesterday but then she said she was leaving. I can't just get my best friend back only for her to say she was leaving. I sighed loudly, tapping my heels on the floor everytime I stopped from a pace.My new guard Jeremiah kept looking at me weirdly. Okay, I'm impatient because Maya promised to be here as early as possible to explain herself today. I even decided to take the day off, it's already past 8am and she's nowhere to be seen. I'm presently standing more like pacing a few meters away from the main door waiting for it to open.“Ma'am, I think you should sit and wait,” Jeremiah tried again for the sixth time.“Jeremiah I'm fine with where I am,” I replied without glancing at him, I continued my pace until I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen making me gasp clutching to my tummy as I stood. I could feel Jeremiah close to me but I raised my hands telling him to stop, “I'm fine,” I tried to stand upright and the pain shot again, before I
LISA POVStanding in front of me was a bulky guy with blonde hair and deep brown eyes, he was putting on a vest on pants. He just stood there staring at me.I groaned, “give me a minute,” I walked to my desk, picked up my phone and dialed my father's number. I heard it ring twice before he answered, but I didn't give him the chance to say, “Cosa significa questo, papà?” (what is the meaning of this father?)“Immagino che tu abbia ricevuto il mio regalo” (I'm guessing you've gotten my gift)“Cosa diavolo sta succedendo?” (What the hell is going on?) I asked, turning to look at the guy before turning away from him.“"Non voglio solo che tu non mantenga la tua promessa per errore, principessa” (I just don't want you to break your promise by mistake princess), he said calmly annoying the fuck out of me.“I already promised……I don't need an extra bodyguard.”“I guess he doesn't know what I want, princess, Jeremiah is to follow you everywhere, never to leave your sight. While working, shopp
LISA POVTyping on my laptop, my mind kept flying back to Maya. It's been two days since the party incident and she hasn't bothered to call, well she doesn't have to call. It's not like it's necessary or anything, but after how I left she should have dropped a text, I can't believe she's still upset with me.I sigh loudly, my secretary looks up at me and I just waved my hands in dismissal. She continued to type on her computer, just when I was about to cuss Maya my baby kicked me, making me gasp in surprise. When I last visited the hospital my doctor said I should be expecting it but I never thought I would feel this happy from pain. I couldn't contain my smile as I rubbed my stomach, I slowly looked up and saw my secretary staring at me with admiration, that was new.“Do you have something to say?” I asked her.She took that as a means to approach me and stood across from me on my table. With a smile she said, “did your baby kick?”My secretary was changed immediately I returned to
GEORGE POVI haven't been able to get the image of Daniel and my daughter dancing on the dance floor. I try not to over think things but then again Ben said to be more careful, I doubled the guards around Lisa and made sure she doesn't drive to work, I'm exhausted. What do the Winstons want from me again?A knock on the door pulled me out of my mental battle. I looked up to see Mika's head being poked out of the door with a smile on her face, “Georgy,”I missed her so much, she always wore the best smiles. It broke my heart that she left the country after my wedding, now only to show up 24 years later still with the best smile, age has gat nothing on her.I watched her stride in, her heels making a slight noise with each step she took, she looked like an angel with the white gown she was putting on and her luscious blonde flowing down to her waist….wait was just checking Mika out? It's probably the kiss messing with my head.With a smile Mika said, “do I look that nice?” “Umm...yeah
DANIEL POVTwirling Lisa's diamond bracelet on my fingers, I kept going back to the party last night, the feel of Lisa's body pressed against mine, her perfect waist for my hands. She looked even more beautiful, slightly bloated from carrying my child and I noticed her breast had added a bit, only if Lisa could hear me now, I chuckled at my thought.“ I'm sure you're not crazy son but…. smiling at a bracelet…..that's a lot,” dad said chuckling.I had completely forgotten that my Dad was in my office to ‘’check up on me '' he says more like he came to mock me for being pussy whipped. Groaning, “can't I smile in peace without you nitpicking my every move?” turning to my Dad.“Easy there tiger,” chuckling loudly, “just stating what I see.”“Then don't say anything, I don't want to hear it,” staring back to the bracelet my dad said,After a little pause, Dad said, “I like her by the way…. that's if it helps,” I turned to my Dad, pulling out my drawer and safely placed the bracelet down qu
LISA POVI couldn't concentrate on where I was walking but I just kept walking looking for my Dad when I bumped into someone, without looking I muttered an apology but the person held my hands to stop me from walking. I turned to hit the person when I saw it was Maya.“Maya?” I whispered.“You look like shit,” looking me up and down.I chuckled and hugged her, the fact she hugged me back was already a positive signal, right?, “what are you doing here?” Immediately regretting my words, I tried to explain, “not….that….you can't be here….I'm just curious.”“It's fine, I'm here with Tiana…as her date,” Maya said smiling.“I'm happy for you,” exhaling, “I missed you…..”She raises her hand to stop me, “just because we're talking doesn't mean I forgive you or we're friends again,” looking around she says, “I don't want to ruin Tiana's image, plus…. everyone knows we're friends ... .one mistake and everyone will have something to say.” She said with a straight face.I nodded in agreement, “t
