Hi guys!How are you all?* * *Zoey's Pov"Don't take me wrong, am not trying to prey into your life or anything. But I have never seen you like that." I said, looking at him.He did frighten me that day, but I can't help but think about what the cause might be for him to be like that. I've been looking for a great timing to ask him if I had the opportunity, and I think it's now.I could see the surprise look on his face. I don't blame him through, I would be surprise as he is cause we didn't start off on the right foot. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't care.Atleast as a doctor who cares for her people physical, and mental well-being."It's personal." He said flatly, looking away.I knew he won't let me in, but for some reason I didn't want to back down. Unless he behaves like the last time through."If you are not comfortable sharing it with me, you can be comfortable sharing it with doctor Zoey Carter. Right?" I said, trying to put up a smile to make him feel comfortable.He star

She said, putting her hands on her waist like she wants to attack me.I must say, she always looks cute whenever I tease her and she tries to come out of it."So you think I want something in return for this kind nature of mine?"I asked, squinting my eyes at her. I took one slow step towards her, she noticed and took one step backwards."Yes…and I want to know what it is." She said."You really want to know what I want?"I asked, taking two steps towards her and she took two steps backwards."Ye….Yes, I want to know."

The doctor said, and I nodded with a smile."Thank you doc.""You still don't want to know the gender?" The doctor asked, packing up.I've been avoiding to know the gender of my baby. I just want to be curious about it, I just love the feeling."Nope." I said with a small smile."Fine then, I must take my leave. Please take care." He said, and with that he left the room.I gently stood up to use the toilet, my bladder is so

Gianna's PovThe sun ray hitting my eyelids made me groan, it's interrupting my beautiful sleep. I turned to hide my face in Bryan's chest, but my hand touched the bed instead.I opened my eyes to see Bryan wasn't on bed. Where did he go? How is he up so early when he always has this habit of waking up late? I'll check what he's up to. I came down from bed and made my way to the bathroom, maybe he's taking is bath. I opened the bathroom door to see it empty, he isn't there. I made my way out of my room and head to the kitchen, maybe he's making breakfast.On entering the kitchen, he wasn't there too. Where could he be then?! Wait! Maybe he has gone for some morning jog.Oh well, I'll just freshen up and make breakfast since I fired my servant out of some foolish furstration. But, I need to call him and know what I'll be making for him.I went back to my room to grab my phone on the lamp stand, beside my bed. On grabbing my phone, I saw some well folded paper under the lamp. What pa

I mean, the location she had sent to me led me straight to a hill top in a deserted place.I can't even see her, or Zoey!I came down from my car to get a better view of my surroundings, and call Gianna to inform her that I have arrived at the same location she had sent. I brought out my phone and dialed her number, after two rings she picks."Turn to your left." She said as soon as she picked my call.I obeyed her and turned to the left, only to find Zoey in a very bad state and Gianna pointing a gun to her from behind.

Gianna yelled, making me stop few inches away from them.I didn't know this was Gianna's true nature! How did she become this version of herself?!"Please Gianna, let her go!
