Daisy-Belle's POVI stir in my sleep, remembering I have an errand to run for mom. I've been absent from school for more than a week now. I have been sick. Today is Friday and I have been doing nothing all day but to sleep.I stretch with a yawn and turn to check the clock. It is 6 pm already."Shit", I scramble out of my bed. Mom asked me to go get groceries, we are out of milk, eggs, and bread. These past few days, I have been taking more milk than usual and we have no more milk in the house anymore.I spend most of the time alone at home, doing absolutely nothing. I am always sleeping or watching a movie. I did nothing today other than take a bath and sleep after taking lunch. I intended to take a nap for a few minutes before going to the grocery shop, a few distances away from here. It is quite near, so I don't need to take a cab.I dash out of my room and rush to the kitchen, where mom kept the money for groceries. I pick it up and run back to my room. I am thinking of changing
Zayden's POVThe private jet lands in New York at exactly 8:10 pm. I remove my seat belt and move out of the jet. I walk briskly to the Limousine waiting for me. I am really exhausted after a long day in Chicago. I have been gone for three days.I went there for a business meeting and the launching of my new hotels in Chicago. I was supposed to arrive in New York earlier this morning but I had to stay back to close the deals I have in Chicago. I got the deal and after signing the contract, the jet took off from Chicago at exactly 5 pm.The driver comes out and takes the suitcase from me. He opens the door for me and I hop in. He drops the suitcase beside him as he gets in. We drive off.All I want to do now is to take a hot bath, eat and go to bed. I have an appointment with Alexander tomorrow morning by 10 am, so I need to be up early to prepare the contract before his arrival. I am also hoping to talk to him about the award, to see if he can help in any way. Anytime I think of what
Tessa's POVTrevor's call was expected but his request to see me wasn't expected. I know this meeting is going to be about his son, Zayden, and our supposed marriage but I can't help but wonder why he demands to see me in his private hotel and not his office or home. My father is extremely mad at Zayden for rejecting me. He suggested that I forget about him but it isn't an easy task for me.At first, I thought what I have for Zayden is lust, for how he makes me feel during sex but now I know it is more than lust. I love the idiot.My dad told Trevor that I am no longer interested in getting married to his son and he stopped picking his calls. I tried to let go of my plans to get him in every possible means but the thought of seeing him someday with some woman made me pick up the interest of getting him no matter what. Father wouldn't understand. No one will understand how much I love him. Zayden is everything that I want and need in a man.My mom is supportive and on my side, she ke
Tessa's POVTrevor stands up and walks to where I am seated. "Good." He goes to the back and puts his face next to my shoulder. I stare back at his face, wishing it is Zayden."Your father isn't picking my calls anymore", He whispers close to my ears and moves away abruptly. The action reminds me of how tense I am whenever Zayden is around and whenever I feel his breath on my skin. I close my eyes to shut the thoughts away."He is angry", I tell him."I have an offer to make for you to be married to Zayden", he utters and moves to the bar side where there are varieties of wines. He picks one up and pours it into two glasses. I watch him as he moves back to sit, placing the glass of wine before me and gulping his."What offer?" I pick the glass up and sip a little wine from it, watching him from the transparent glass."The offer to make my son yours while you give me what I want." He smirks.I am beginning to think otherwise. Why is he saying while I give him what I want? I frown an
Damien's POVI love fun places, I love having fun. California is a fun place to be but I know more fun awaits me here in New York. I have unfinished business that I need to sort out before flying back to my comfort zone.I am also back here because of how much I miss New York and because of one other person, Zayden. I miss him. I miss seeing his contorted face. I miss feeling the pleasure I always derive from taking what belongs to him.This is why I am here now, to take something else and destroy it.I won't hesitate to destroy him now that I have the chance. I want to take my revenge now. I don't want to wait any longer again. Fifteen years is a long wait already. I want to destroy him and his father for making me lose my mother at a tender age.Trevor is the real enemy but I want Zayden to have a taste of the torture and pain his father had caused me, for not stopping his father from killing my mother right in my presence. Zayden saw him but he didn't stop him. He was my best frie
Zayden's POVLucy picks mother's call. It's been three days since I have seen my mother. I want to tell her about the pregnancy and I wish I could see her reaction after I must have told her but I can't go home. I have a busy schedule at work and I might go home late again.I want to know how she will feel about accepting the baby, hoping she will no longer pressure me about getting married."Madam is in the bathroom", she informs me."Ok, tell her I called", I say to her."I will, sir", she responds. I am about to hang up when I hear her voice. "Is it Zayden?" I hear her ask."Yes, madam", Lucy gives the phone to her."Son?" She calls loudly."Mother?" I call back with a smile. Hearing her voice gives me joy and peace. "How are you?""I am fine, love", She answers. "Any news?"I am imagining how curious she is to know the reason for my call. "Yes, there is.""Have you found someone?" She questions.I scratch my head nervously. "Not really, mom.""Why are you calling?" She demands."
Evelyn's POVI am trying my luck one more time by going to Zayden's office. My plans aren't easy to execute and I am left with trying to convince him to do my bidding once more before I do my worst. I wonder why he isn't even bothered about having a baby. I thought he was going to find me or call me or something but he did nothing and it is pissing me off.I am losing patience. I thought of disguising myself to allow for easy entrance into his office, impersonating one of the people he is going to have a meeting with this morning. But I decided to go as Evelyn.I don't want to show him how desperate I am. He need not know so he can succumb to my wish, eventually.I gave the receptionist another wad of notes so she could let me in. I move out of the elevator and walk to the secretary's desk. If she doesn't allow me in, I will burst into his office. I am determined to finalize everything today."Hello", I greet, with a smile. The girl at the desk raises her head. She isn't the lady from
Zayden's POVI wonder why this woman keeps pushing her daughter into the devil's wrath. She might be the winner now but I ain't started with her yet. I am letting her win solely because of my mother. I am not a man of commitments and I want no form of commitment whatsoever.I am going to torture her daughter till she decides to leave on her own free will.This is just the beginning of our game, I muse to myself, about to get to work when the door bursts open.I raise my head to see who the intruder is for the second time today. I know it won't be Mrs. Madeline because she is not one to miss her appointments and missing an appointment like this means something urgent came up.Chloe rushes in too, following the man behind. I am not surprised to see the face of the man. I have been expecting him, ever since father told me he was back. I knew he was going to come show off his arrogant self to me."Hello, Zayden. Long time, no see", he grins widely like an idiot.Chloe is breathing hard, l
