KEIRA. The anger in George's eyes was way too much. It's all my fault for causing this mess. It's all my fault, I can't help but feel so guilty, I keep blaming myself. George didn't even realize he pushed me back to the floor, when he got to his senses, he drew away from Sebestian and turned to me, staring at me with no words.. “Are you okay?” Sebestian asked me, his breathing erratic, he had sustained a lot of cuts on his face due to George's punching. George had wanted to say something but swallowed it up as a bitter chuckle escaped his lips. He stood to his feet, clenching his fists. Sebestian managed to crawl to my direction, checking me out even though he had himself to worry about. “You bastard….” George snarled in a low voice, I could sense the intense fury from the tone of his voice. I sat helpless on the floor, this wasn't what I wanted. I can't believe this is happening. I instantly stood up and grabbed George's arms as he shoved me off. “Please… it is my fault, Sebest
KEIRA. A week had passed since I stayed back in New York and since George found out Sebestian had a hand in my disappearance. Most times I couldn't tell what really went on in George's mind. He had never showed up since then,he hasn't. I shouldn't be feeling disappointed but I did, I didn't expect him to be happy. Sebestian and I lied to him for five years but it's not like I didn't have a genuine reason, I was protecting Kelvin and yes, he doesn't know that so I would never blame him. But why did a part of me wish he would show up? I missed him so much, I really did. Whenever I look at Kelvin, I'm glad I took the decisions but most times, it can be very overwhelming..Sebestian visited us most times in the apartment and I know I owe him a lot, I didn't want to continue being a burden to Sebestian, he had tried so much for the past five years. I just wanted to find a job and start afresh in New York so that I can be able to find afford an apartment and Kelvin's needs too. I think
KEIRA. I have never been happier, especially ever since I got hired at the interior designing firm. Today was my first day of work at the firm, it was just a small firm located on the 18th floor of a skyscraper building. Work starts at 9:00am as I was told but I left as early as 8:00 because I didn't want to be late or tagged as incompetent on my first day.I just took an elevator and arrived at the floor. The moment I came out of the elevator, my eyes landed on George in his navy blue suit and my heart skipped instantly as I whirled over to avoid his gaze.. His hair was neatly slicked back while some strands fell over his face. He had completely dyed his beards black. What the heck was he doing here? I inhaled a deep breath and exhaled, trying to calm my racing heart down.. “Miss Miller..” He called out and I gently turned after counting to three..“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice low. I was hiding my eyes away from meeting those hazel eyes. I scanned my eyes around t
KEIRA. I found myself unable to push George away, I found myself getting greedy. I know I should be staying away from him. If he finds out about Kelvin, he would definitely disregard us, won't he? I wanted to remind myself that I took this decision for Kelvin. A child can't bear to be rejected by the father but I couldn't push George away either. It's been so long since I had the feeling of being in his embrace. The feeling of being safe in someone's arms. George pulled away and watched me closely. His hazel eyes fixed on me but my chin was dipped, I bet I have turned into a cartoon of tomatoes. I wish the ground would open and swallow me so that I can disappear from his presence. “We should grab lunch together during lunch hours. Perhaps some other time….” He offered and I shook my head in disapproval, still not lifting my gaze. “Look at me, Bambi” he demanded, his hands instantly tilting my jaw up as I stilled. He saw my red face, he saw my tomato face. God, I feel so embarrass
SEBASTIAN. “After work tomorrow, perphaps we should go on a date?” I asked and Keira raised her gaze to me, staring at me with no words coming forth. This wasn't the first time I had asked Keira out on a date but she mostly declined and asked me to give her more time. I have given her the whole time in the world, I don't care if she still loves George, they won't be ending up together again. More reason I wanted her to stay in New York,I can accept the fact that she still loves him, I don't mind as long she is by my side but I would never accept the fact of them coming back together again. I gave up my loyalty to George because of it. I can't lose on both sides. I planned on asking her to be my girlfriend if she agreed to come to the date. If Keira stays in New York, we can date openly and see each other as much as we wanted. Going to Germany most times was such a hassle. George has found out so there was no need hiding again. Keira kept staring at me with no words coming forth. W
KEIRA. The air was a bit awkward after George planted that peck on my lips. My body shuddered and I know my cheeks went red again. Why was he even calling me red cheeks? I thought he said he wouldn't be coming to the company that much.. Was that a lie to keep me working at the firm? I can't even explain myself, I didn't know why my body quivered with excitement when he planted that kiss on my lips and now I'm alone in the elevator with him, it feels like my heart would burst out of my chest. I swallowed hard,keeping my gaze fixed on the button that had floor numbers. “Breathe, Bambi. I won't bite you…” He muttered and I rolled my eyes..“Why did you even come? Didn't you say you won't be coming. You are making me uncomfortable..” I grumbled. “uncomfortable? Or you just want to hold me tight? You don't have to hold yourself back” George said boldly. “George..” I called in a warning voice. “Okay. I came because I have a mission.. I won't waste time. Are you going to have lunch wi
KEIRA. I kept pondering on what George said even after he exited the office. Of course I wanted to get back together with him, I wanted to rush into his arms, I wanted to be by his side but I'm scared. The cake was on my desk even during the work hours. My mind was a mess and I had no idea what to do with the it. Eat it or throw it away. I can't remember the last time I had cake, whenever I wanted to eat one, I would remember that memory with George, it would keep replaying. “We just got secured a client.”Adrian announced and I directed my gaze to him. “Wow, that's great….” Cassandra exclaimed. We were just three and even though Adrian gave each of us specified tasks, it would have been more professional if it was handled by teams. We have to do everything together or better still, hire professionals in their fields until we can employees to divide into teams. “We would be running the deal together. I will set an appointment with the client and communicate you guys on what the J
KEIRA. I heard Sebestian’s car speeding off while I was in the restroom.. After letting the warm water drizzle my face, I stood there for while, staring at myself in the mirror. I guess I was in that phase where I had to make tough decisions. Turning Sebestian down? I wondered if it would subract anything from our relationship. Would he stop being the Sebestian I knew? Would it be like cutting ties? No matter how much time I ask him to give me, would I ever learn to accept him romantically? I wiped my face a towel and walked out of the restroom. I didn't see Sebestian’s expression before he exited the building. Was he angry? I couldn't tell, we didn't even get to have dinner again. Such wasted efforts. After staring at the dinning table from afar for a while, I decided to go upstairs.. I had no appetite left in me to devour the dishes..I walked to Kelvin’s room where he was sleeping peacefully and sat next to him on the bed as I watched him. His calm features were so interesting
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
