KEIRA. I went back to the penthouse and began my interior designing work, I wanted to be focused on it because I didn't want keep thinking about what Amanda said or the fact that my own mother abandoned me in my teenage years after Dad died. Those words she said to me everyday and the last day she left me was exactly what Amanda said to me. ‘'I’m worthless like my father' She said it to me everyday. I sucked in a sharp breath trying to focus on the curtains I was arranging. I didn't even know time had passed so much. The door suddenly creaked open and George came in. I had forgotten I hadn't prepared dinner for him yet. I swallowed hard and greeted him. “Good evening, sir”I drew my attention back to what I was doing after greeting him. I waited for a while but he didn't respond either. Is he suddenly being cold because he thinks I'm worthless too? They all act very kind at first, silly me to always get swayed by their kindness. A sharp sting pierced my heart and tears pricked a
KEIRA. The next day came by so quickly and I didn't realize I had slept so much like a baby! I woke up around 8:00 whereas I'm supposed to wake up early to make breakfast for George. I stretched out my hands, I stood up and began strolling downstairs. My gaze locked with Mark's once I stepped down. “Good morning,Sir” I greeted.“Good morning, Keira..” he replied. “Boss asked me to hand over this files to you” He stated, reaching his hands to me. The discussion we had last night flashed over my memory and I took the files from him. “Okay. Thank you.” I responded. “Boss left early for a business trip. He told me to let you know that you didn't have to work so hard for the interior designing Job. We could hire each professional in their field to help you out” He remarked and I sighed. Then why am I here? I was paid a huge amount for this job, why am I getting another help? Oh, Keira, when are ever going to change, my inner voice countered. I was literally getting the help I need
KEIRA. “Elena, I told you I didn't want to wear this short Skirt!” I yelled, pulling the skirts down but Elena had already crashed into the dance floor without wasting time. A part of me has regrets about following her here but the deed has been done. She forced me to wear a mesh revealing top and a leather short skirt with boots. It was almost the same with her outfit. I didn't want anyone staring at me like a whore. The club was buzzing with energy. The music was loud and the DJ was seamlessly blending different songs to keep the crowd moving. The lights were flashing and changing colors, creating a lively atmosphere.People were in the dance floor, lost in the beat. Most of the ladies were pressing their bodies against guys, rocking and twerking on their members. I heaved a deep sigh, I'm not sure if I was in for such. The loud music was really disturbing my ear, I could have been having a good night rest,I hissed. I walked over to the bar side of the club and sat down. I wou
KEIRA. Sebastian drove us in his Suv and all the while Elena's mood was super active. I know she didn't want to go yet but had to because of Sebastian. I mean the club had barely begun. It hasn't been up to an hour since we went there.Sebastian asked about my address and I told him. Elena was going to stop at the coffee shop since she had a way to unlock it. She was going to change her outfit before returning to her parent's apartment otherwise they might kill her. Sebastian drove me straight to the penthouse which was the address I gave him but there seemed to be uncertainty in his gaze. “Is this where you live?” He asked me, wrinkling his forehead like I'm not supposed to be staying there. “Yes. I live here. Thanks for the drive Sebastian.” I shot him a grateful smile and climbed down from the car. “You are welcome. I will see you some other time” He whispered and steered his car, leaving the environment. I sighed deeply and walked into the penthouse. At least George wasn't a
KEIRA. I woke up in the morning to the alarm on my phone. I had set an alarm for every 6:00 am, 7:00 am to prepare breakfast for George. I had to set an alarm for both times in case one didn't wake me up. I lifted my upper body from the bed and turned off the alarm. I could feel George's firm grasp around my waist. I turned over to see his bare chest and heat rose up to my cheeks, remembering everything that had transpired between the both of us last night. I'm burning so much and I know my cheeks are bright red. I stared at his features, he looked so hot and handsome. It is making my heart flutter, it's making butterflies jump in my belly. A small smile played on my lips and I leaned closer and planted a soft kiss on his forehead.I was about to stand up as I felt George's firm grasp, pulling me back to the bed, my bum pressing against his member slightly. He was awake?!“Hey!” I exclaimed in surprise and he laughed out loudly. “Where do you think you are heading to? Let's sleep
GEORGE. I wanted to be Keira's knight in shining armour ever since Liam's mistress humiliated her at the coffee shop. Mark had shown me a video about the terrible words she said to her. After that incident,I asked Mark to carry out an investigation on her. She had grown up on her own in teenage years. Her mother abandoned her in their home when she turned Eleven. She never knew if she had extended families. She had stayed with one granny she helped in distress and the granny took her in and paid her tuition in school for some years but the family members of the granny never liked her. The granny died and the family members chased Keira away. Keira started working hard at the age of sixteen to pay off her remaining tuition fees in school. She had won a scholarship from her highschool so it was easier for her to go through College. She had it rough while coming up which is why I want to protect her from now. I couldn't control the arousal I got when she stepped into penthouse looking
KEIRA.I can't believe Sebastian was George's best friend. What a small world we live in. I had just finished making pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage. It was quite easy so it didn't take much of my time. Once I was done, I saw Sebastian standing to his feet. Maybe he wanted to go already? I began setting the tables for breakfast. I was setting the tables while staring at them and George turned to me grinning, signaling me to come closer. I left the tables I was setting and went closer to them, he circled his arms around my shoulders, making my heart flutter as a smile escaped my lips.I lifted my gaze to Sebastian but his gaze was blank like he hadn't seen me from anywhere before. “Keira, this is Sebastian Klein, my best friend. We have been friends since we were little” George introduced Sebastian to me. He reached out his hands to shake mine. “A pleasure to meet you” He mumbled as we shook hands. “Keira Miller” I introduced for a second time even though I had introduced mys
KEIRA. George retired to work after giving me the warmest consolation I had ever received. Nothing consoled me more than those words of his. It kept bringing a smile to my cheeks for the day. And as Mark said before,they hired professionals to do the painting, change the furniture,the curtains and the rest of them. I just had to provide the specific design and then give instructions on where they would place the artworks, vases, flowers and the rest of them. The work would end in no time and I'm staying here for a year. Why does the job sound like the target was me and not my skill? I had nothing doing so basing on just directing, I occasionally joined in some work. I was in the living room with the two workers Mark sent, before my phone beeped.I took it from my pocket and saw Elena's message. ( Girl! Guess what I read and saw! Liam had been arrested. The news is online. Girl what did you do?! I'm loving this new you) I heaved a deep sigh. I didn't wish for him to get arrested but
Author's POV. Keira’s eyes fluttered open, and the first thing she saw was George sitting beside her, his eyes locked on her with a gentle, steady gaze. He was holding something wrapped in a soft pink blanket, his expression pure wonder. It took her a moment to remember, her breath caught as reality settled in. Their daughter was finally here. “Bambi” George murmured, smiling as he noticed she was awake. “Someone wants to say hello.... We have a baby!" A warm wave of emotion washed over her as George leaned in, bringing their baby girl closer to her. Keira took in the sight of their tiny daughter, barely able to believe it. Her heart felt like it was going to burst. Soft tufts of dark hair peeked out from the blanket, and tiny hands rested by her face, impossibly small and delicate. “Oh, she’s… she’s perfect,” Keira whispered, her voice barely audible as she gazed down at their daughter. She lifted a trembling hand, gently tracing a finger along the baby’s tiny cheek. The warmth,
KEIRA. I can't believe my wedding day was finally here. After all the obstacles, after what seemed like it wouldn't be, I was getting married to George. The man I met six years back, the man who made me feel everything love was about. He accepted me, he accepted my flaws. He chose to be with me no matter what. He decided to be a father because of me. He changed his rules just to be with me. The universe was on my side on this. I bless the day I met him at the bar, the day he ignited an unquenchable spark.. The morning of my wedding to George began in a daze of rose-colored light and breathless excitement, like a dream I was trying to hold onto but that kept slipping through my fingers. Sunlight pooled through the soft curtains, dusting everything in gold. "Keira!" Elena squirmed, stepping into the bride waiting room. I giggled at her.. "Wow! You look so stunning! George wouldn't be able to keep the thing in between his legs one place!" She joked, her sense of humour making me gasp
KEIRA. Some days later I got discharged from the hospital, I lost my baby. I still can't believe this. George has been consoling me like forever. He keeps telling me we would make another one but I was really sad though. What if it doesn't come again that easily. I prayed it would. Kelvin needed someone by his side. We would have all the sex in the world so that we can make a baby.. After his work hours were over, George came home. I was speedily recovering as well. I made dinner and Kelvin had gone to sleep after consuming his dinner. I was in the living room when he came home.. He beamed at me with his eyes and scooped me into his arms into the same manner, gently placing me on the floor. Our eyes locked and my heart raced in anticipation and exhilaration at the same time. George watched me with lustful eyes, my elbow was pressed on the floor since I was wedging my upper body with it. He gently pushed my legs apart and a soft gasp escaped my lips once he did that. He push
KEIRA. A familiar hum filled the air, a mix of beeps and muted voices that seemed both distant and near. I really wanted to get over the news from Doctor Peter. It wasn't all that easy for me to take in because George stopped protection long time ago. I was still in the hospital, tethered to tubes and a heart monitor, feeling the dull ache radiate from my shoulder. Slowly, I opened my eyes, and the room came into focus. I really I lost my child. I think I might have fallen into another slumber after the news. "Keira?" George’s voice was soft, laced with relief, and I turned my head just enough to see his face inches away, his eyes wide with a fragile hope. “Hey,” I managed, my voice raspy, like I hadn’t spoken in days. “You…you look awful.” He snorted, frowning. "You have been sleeping... I have missed you" He gave a short laugh, the kind that holds back a well of emotion. His hand found mine, his fingers trembling slightly. “I have missed you like crazy. I'm so sorry for what
George's POV I held Keira's limp body in my arms, her blood seeping onto my suit. The sound of gunfire still echoed in my ears. Our engagement party, once filled with laughter and joy, had turned into a nightmare. Keira, I would never forgive myself if I lose her. Never. "Keira, no! Stay with me! Bambi, please!" I pleaded, my voice shaking. My eyes was filled with tears as i continued shaking her roughly. I rushed through the crowded hall, shoving aside panicked guests. Sirens blared outside, growing louder. "Get the car!" I yelled at Mark. The hall had gone so chaoti, people.rushing out for their safety. I wouldn't blame them, the gunshot erupted from nowhere. "We need to get her to the hospital now!" I yelled, tears in my eyes. I had no idea who I was yelling at but if I lose Keira, I'm gone. I couldn't seem to control myself. I was supposed to be calm for Keira's sake. I was supposed to reassure myself but I was panicking more than I should. Elena rushed us at the stage
KEIRA. The hall was a dream. soft pink roses, strings of glistening fairy lights, and golden drapes swayed lightly under the room’s chandeliers. I could hear the clink of glasses and the gentle hum of people chatting, laughter mixing with the soft music filling the air. It was a celebration of George and I..Our engagement party was everything I’d dreamed it would be. It was perfect. George had his guests all over the place, influential personnel, stars in New York. He invited A list celebrities like he said he would. George was across the room, A radiant smile that had melted my heart from the start plastered on his face. His dark suit fit perfectly, the deep navy accentuating his broad shoulders and making his hazel eyes more striking. He was in a deep conversation with Mark, occasionally looking my way with a wink. I gave him a small wave, feeling my cheeks flush. Even after all these years, he still made my heart flutter. They fluttered like crazy. I stood,greeting some of G
KEIRA. I slowly opened my eyes, blinking away the haze of sleep. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the room. George's gentle hand held mine, his hazel eyes watching me. I was so surprised he woke up before me today.. A huge smile crossed my lips. "Good morning, bambi " he whispered,a smile playing on his cheeks. I smiled faintly,feeling a wave of nausea wash over me. My stomach churned. I felt this way yesterday’s morning but it wasn't as bad as this morning. Was I sick or what the heck was wrong with me. “Good morning handsome” I returned the greeting. I quickly sprang up the bed and rushed into the bathroom, feeling the need to vomit. George didn't hesitate to come after me, closing the bathroom door behind me. "Bambi, are you okay?" I couldn't answer because I had begun , vomiting uncontrollably. My body shook, and my stomach churned. I don't think I can do anything today. My body feels so weak. George's worried voice came through again as he
KEIRA I returned home and Kelvin came out of Joe's quarters and hugged me. He was mostly with Joe since the holidays. I have been giving it a serious thought. Perhaps I should just quit and become a housewife. My son needed me so much and I wasn't doing much at work. I went in with him and he was quick to remove his uniforms. I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I had to feed Kelvin then showered him, put him to bed. I took mine and came downstairs to wait for George as usual. George came home and beamed the warmest smile ever. I would punish him for not telling me he announced our engagement in the news. I frowned not returning the smile even though I wanted to.. “Bambi….what happened?” He questioned, coming close to me. “You didn't tell me you were announcing the engagement in the news. Our engagement party is next week and I didn't even know!” I grumbled and he let out a low chuckle, coming close to me at the dinning table. “Didn't you say anytime was okay
KEIRA. The fire service cleared the fire. I would never understand how that fire broke out. It was really out of nowhere and surprising. But thank Goodness no one got hurt. Everyone went home safely. George had to hire cleaning service providers for them to clean up the fire and the rooftop. “I wonder what happened?” He said to me when we were seated in the living room. Night came by so quickly and since I excused myself from work to celebrate Kelvin’s birthday, we just stayed at home watching TV that night. Kelvin was in the living room with his toys but on the floor. My head rested on George's shoulder and he gently rubbed my arms. “I really don't understand how the fire broke out. It just started all of a sudden but thank Goodness, no one got hurt” I replied. George inclined closer and kissed my forehead. “I was really surprised and worried but everything is okay now I guess. …..”He responded and kissed my forehead again. I sighed deeply, we were in eachother's arms un
