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
Zayden's POVAfter Damien left, I could no longer concentrate on my work. I tried doing something else to wave the distraction away but nothing was working. My mind kept drifting to what happened between Damien and me and our conversation. I tried Madeline's number to ask why she missed the appointment but it wasn't going through. She was a middle-aged woman of 50 and not just a business partner but also a friend. She has businesses in Greece and we have a partnership with one of her car companies.I already told Tristan when he came to my office to help me with the truth about Belle's baby paternity. He said it wasn't going to be possible unless the lady was present in the hospital for the prenatal diagnosis to be carried out on her. I want to be sure of everything before taking her to my mother. I don't want to raise my mother's hope in vain and I know I will let Belle go once it is confirmed that the baby isn't mine, I have no business with her anymore.I told Tristan to go to th
Zayden's POVI find the neighborhood where Evelyn stays messy. I can't believe my baby mother is staying in this environment which is not fit for a woman with pregnancies to be staying in. No wonder her mother called herself a nobody. Why then is she saying she has good work when she can't afford a good home for her daughter and grandchild?"Fuck!" I curse and come out of the car. I used my GPS to get the location. I walk through the alley and see the address number on the house in front of me. I walk towards it quickly, cursing beneath my breath when a dirty-looking dog barks at me. I am quite amazed that I am scared of the dog, I don't know if it's because the dog is dirty or because it is barking.I heave a sigh of relief when I get to the door. The dog has retreated when I am no longer in sight. I wonder why the dog is barking at me in broad daylight. I also can't help but wonder if the dog is theirs or for a neighbor's.I puff out the air I didn't know I was holding in and kno
Belle's POVA new page has begin already. Never in my wildest dream have I imagined Zayden will come looking for me and on a day like this that I have decided to let go of everything and start a new life.What is he doing here? How did he know where I live? How did he know about my pregnancy? Did mother go to meet him like she said she would, despite my protest? Why is he here?He looks more real and damn handsome than he looks in pictures. I always view him as a Greek god who is fictional anytime I come across his picture. I have started paying close attention to his picture and every news that concerns him, ever since I got to know he is my baby father. Standing here before me is a hot, good-looking guy in a blue well-tailored Armani suit and black shiny suede shoes. His face is smooth and clean with his pointed nose and blue eyes. His jawline is set straight and he is looking pointedly at me.I am still in my school dress. Even though I ate breakfast before leaving home this morni
Tessa's POVI am now a prodigal child. It is just for a few days, I know my dad will come looking for me soon. He is going to beg me to come back home. At least this will give me another chance to enjoy the best gift of life before going back home where dad's watchful eyes will be hovering over me like a hen watching over its chick.Ever since he brought up the idea of me becoming the CEO, he has been watching my every move and cautioning me to play safe so I can win the votes of the shareholders of his company. I ain't interested in the shit. It is as boring as f***.If only I can always get a good f*** from one of dad's employees from the office, maybe it will be worth it then but no, I doubt it. They are all dressed in suits and stupid ties. Zayden is the only man I like seeing in suits and ties, the rest are morons, except of course my dad.After crying for a while, I get up from the bed and move to the bathroom to take a cold bath. After bathing, I put on my clothes and I see a
Damien's POVI am staring at her picture as I sit comfortably in the car driving me to my father's house. Father is also back in town and we plan to meet tonight. The girl is beautiful with long brown hair, green eyes, and a long pointed nose. She looks wild in the party dress. Her shape is beautiful and her legs are attractively long. Her lips are looking attractive and irresistible to kiss.I begin to feel what I felt years ago about Paige. I have no idea why I keep having this feeling when it comes to Zayden's girls. I derive lots of pleasure from sharing things with him, especially his women. I want to have a taste of what he feels with them.I like the girl already and I can't wait to meet her. I need to see her in person and get to work. Zayden has to suffer.The ringing sound of my phone pulls me out of my reverie. It is Donovan."Boss?""Where are they now?" I ask."They are back in Zoe's apartment. They noticed I was following them earlier so I had to give them a break to av
