Jevan's POV
The next day, I was in my Master bedroom, thinking long and hard when the door opened and Adobi stepped in.
"Hi babe, I was just about to go shopping. You need me to get you anything?" she asked while she took her purse off the table.
"Adobi, we should talk," I offered.
"Can't it wait?"
"No. I need to say this to you right now."
"What is it?" she asked, giving me her full attention now.
"Adobi, you're a wonderful person in your own unique way. I have no regrets of having you be apart of my life..."
"Where are you going with this, Jevan?"
"Adobi, I'm ending things between us. The engagement. The relationship. It's over."
She held her chest as if she was having a heart attack. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"I know it's going to be hard for you to just accept that and move on, but with time, you're going to be okay and you'll find someone else who'll really love you and do right by you."
"Jevan, you do l
Blossom's POVI was thrilled more than ever, ever since Jevan and I decided to become official again and this time, we were going to raise our son together as a family.Jason and I had moved into Jevan's mansion but I decided to occupy a guest bedroom instead of sharing the Master with Jevan. I wasn't fully ready for that major leap and thankfully Jevan understood that part.~It was another weekend and Jevan had decided to take Jason and myself out on his yacht. We had an early start and Jason was more than excited when his father told him that he was going to teach him how to swim with a dolphin.Upon arriving to the luxury yacht which was expected by a Hollen, we greeted the personal chef and the captain with warm smiles and handshakes.We embarked. The sunny sky was suited for sailing and the breeze acted as if it wanted to rip my clothes off my body.I found a lounge chair, took down my thick hair from the tight bun, and rested while en
Blossom's POVI grew numb as I watched Jevan performed CPR on our son. It felt like I was the one who needed it because my breath was being held from my lungs.*coughs*"Oh thank you God." I exhaled the last breath I was holding as Jason's grey eyes opened and he started breathing again.Jevan picked rolled him to his side for the remainder of the water left his mouth before he picked him up.The resort's doctor came to our aid and took Jason to the recovery room. Jevan came back to my side afterwards."Hey. Are you okay?" he asked me."That was the scariest thing that ever happened to me, Jevan. We almost lost our son."He pulled me in for a hug. "He's going to be okay. Jason is a fighter. It was all my fault though. I shouldn't have taken my eyes off him.""It was an accident. Let's just be grateful that he's alive and he'll be okay."_________The following day, Jason made
Blossom's POVI was enraged. My friends had left and I was busying myself in the kitchen chopping vegetables with the biggest knife I could have find.If the vegetables could have gotten up and ran away, they would.Finally, he came home. I heard his footsteps as he got closer and closer to where I was still chopping vegetables."Good evening, baby. How are you doing?" he asked and came to kiss me but I moved away without a word."Is something wrong?" he asked.I chopped more angrily."You're hurting that carrot, baby," he said again and put his bag aside, "I know something is wrong with you, what's wrong? Talk to me.""Haven't Adobi talked to you enough?" I finally spoke and stopped chopping."Adobi....?""Don't play stupid with me, Jevan Hollen. Nina and Sophia saw you two at the restaurant together!" I yelled at him."Okay. I was there with her but....""I
Blossom's POVLife was good. I got engaged to the guy of my dreams and although we were still young people, we were happy with our son and being a real family.As the months went by, I was informed that my mother had been released from prison and was compensated for her wrongful imprisonment after all those years but sadly, she had decided that she was going to stay in Ghana and rebuild our former house with the money she got.~"Blossom! My beautiful daughter. How are you doing?""Mom, it's been ages. I'm so happy to hear your voice than receiving letters and the few minutes on the prison phones. How are you doing?""So much mixed emotions still, my daughter. I'm hurt, angry but yet so happy to have my freedom.""It shouldn't have been taken away in the first place. And just so you know, Brooke is doing time for her actions. The lawyers are fighting her mother's case by saying she was unaware of her daughter's doings
Blossom's POV"Are you crazy! I'm not PREGNANT!" I yelled. Bewildered was an understatement to describe the mood I was in.The fierce pain snapped and I thought I was going to break into half."AAAARRRGGHHHH!" I cried. Jevan held my hand and wiped beads of sweat off my forehead."Miss. Wright, I know this is alarming to you but I would need you to calm down and listen to me for the sake of the baby. Okay?" the doctor smoothly spoke.I nodded in agreement."Good. Now, on the count of three, I need you to push. Okay?""Okay.""One. Two... Three. PUSH!"I cooperated and pushed with all my might. I felt as if all the nerves from my lower body were being heated up."Get this out of me!" I cried."Push. One more!"I pushed the last bit of energy I had left and heard the crying of a new born before everything went dark from around me._________________
Blossom's POVJevan had been standing at the crib for almost an hour, looking at Dahlia's sleeping form."Jevan, she's not going to open her eyes," I told him, sitting up in the bed. I searched for my cellphone to note the time.Jevan had yet to say another word since telling him there's a possibility that Hunter can be the father. It was heartbreaking to see him treating me silently instead of us talking things out and coming to an understanding."I think I should leave now," he spoke up and I caught him wiping tears from the corner of his eyes.He was hurting."Jevan, I'm so sorry," I said to him. He reluctantly smiled a very forceful smile.He came towards me and planted a kiss on my forehead then he kissed my lips as sweetly as ever."No matter what, I love you and that little girl in the crib is my daughter. I don't give a damn about Hunter," he said to me.Tears of happi
Blossom's POVJevan stormed into the master bedroom with the angriest expression I've ever seen when we returned to the house. Dahlia was already in her nursery, still fast asleep."Do you have fucking rocks in your head, huh!?" he bursted out."Jevan, please understand that I only went...""What's there for me to understand? I told you to stay away from him and keep Dahlia away from him as well. But what did you do? You got dressed and took Dahlia with you to see Hunter!""BECAUSE SHE COULD BE HIS!""I swear, if you say that one more time, Blossom! I really don't understand you. You ought to be smarter than this. Hunter did everything in his power to try to break you. And you go waltzing to him with our baby!""Our baby? You don't know if she's yours. I told you what happened!""And I comprehended that. But what I can't understand is why the hell you were at the diner with Hunter when I told you to keep away from him
Jevan's POVI was heading for Hunter's office instead of my very own. It felt like my blood was frying and the air conditioning was doing a poor job at cooling me off."Mr. Sax, I have a Mr. Jevan Hollen here to see you. Should I send him in, sir?" his secretary spoke in the phone to grant permission.I noticed she was someone my father fired a few weeks ago.She led me into Hunter's office then closed the door as she left."Jevan, what a surprise. Have a seat," Hunter offered."I'll stand. This isn't a meeting," I answered."Oh. So this is an unfriendly visit?" Hunter asked, standing too. He straightened his posture and his jacket."You got that right," I said."Why are you here? Oh, let me guess. You came here to warn about staying away from your fiancee, right?""That and more," I said, tossing him the envelope with a copy of the DNA test results, "The proof is in you
Blossom's POVMy heart was racing fifty miles per hour. I was sweating and shivering as if I was having a fever over one hundred."What say you?" the Judge questioned.This was it. In a court system, it's never wise to become cocky or overly confident. These things have a way of surprising the shit out of you no matter how well you presented the case."We, the jury, finds Hunter Sax guilty on attempted murder."Everyone exhaled on cue and I found Jevan and pulled him in for a quick hug."Very well. Sentencing would be handed down at the next hearing in eight days. Court adjourned."_________________Hunter received life imprisonment without the possibility of parole so did his father for being an accessory and covering up the murder of Hunter's ex-fiancee. Two weeks later, they found Hunter's body hanging from a bed sheet in his cell.Talks were circulating that he committed suicide
Four Weeks Later, back to California*Blossom's POV"Baby, are you going to be okay up there?" I asked Jevan as I straightened his tie and the lapels to his jacket."I'll be fine," he answered. I smiled at him. It was great having him back home again. Myself and the kids missed him so much. Luckily, he made a full recovery and was released from the hospital one week ago.Together, we stepped into the courtroom with the others following a few steps behind us.Hunter was already seated in handcuffs looking meticulous. After the arraignment, everyone was baffled by his 'Not Guilty' plea, so today, it was the trial and we, The Hollens, had the best prosecution attorney money can afford. No stones were left unturned throughout her investigation.In criminal cases, it was her, the prosecution attorney, to give an opening statement if she so choose, and that she did. She confidently rose and stepped into the middle. He
Evan Hollen POV"Mr. Hollen! Wait!" I heard the doctor calling after me when I reached the lobby but I was too devastated to respond.Grief was taking control and the reality of everything was compiling like bricks in my head.I found Jasmine still sitting in the waiting room. Susan was with her now."Honey?" she said when she saw me with bloodshot eyes, "You've been crying, haven't you?" Jasmine rose and pulled me into her arms where I sobbed quietly."Ah! Mr. Hollen, I finally caught up with you," the doctor said when he joined us."Doc, I'm sorry but I'll need a moment.""Please take all the time you need. Your son would be waiting.""Waiting? Are you trying to be funny, doctor, because if that's your sense of humor, you should consider a next profession!" Susan snapped."I'm sorry if I may have offended...""Of course you've offended us! Jevan was my grandson! You don't make fun of the dead!""My apologies ma'a
Blossom's POVA cold gust of wind blew and I found myself outside. Standing on the lawn of the mansion I shared with Jevan and the children."What? Why am I back here in Los Angeles?" I asked myself as I struggled to move but couldn't. I was fixed in that spot."Hi," a voice said. I knew that voice. The love of my life appeared in front of me with his bright, comforting smile."Jevan, you're here? Please, let's go home. Everyone is waiting for you.""I can't go home, Blossom. I'm so sorry. I never got a chance to say goodbye to you so here I am saying it.""No! I don't want to hear it, Jevan. You can't leave me. You can't leave the kids. I can't do this by myself. I need you!""Ssshhh. Listen to me, you're stronger than you appear. You're a fighter. You'll be okay. The kids will be okay. My family would always have your back. You're a Hollen."I couldn't control the tears from falling. Jevan reached out his hand
Blossom's POV"Wait, what?" I asked to Evan when he mentioned the words I wasn't ready to hear in this lifetime or the next."Jevan is dead. He was shot by Hunter at the mansion.""No! NOOO!" I screamed. My heart felt as if it was being hijacked. My breathing hitched in my throat as my entire body started to tremble from shock.Evan took Dahlia from my arms and I succumbed to the floor where I burst into tears and screams of rage and anger and empathy.Jevan was gone. Taken away from me, his children, his family and friends. The dream I had about Hunter hurting him rocked me to my core as the images flashed before my very eyes."What's going on?" Jada asked, coming back into the room."Jada, you might want to sit down for this but all everyone else in here."As the family gathered, Jasmine broke down into tears. She couldn't take being strong anymore. Evan comforted her but it was like tr
Blossom's POV"Burning?" I repeated while I quickly reached for the TV's remote and searched for the breaking news.'A mass evacuation is underway as locals flee from their homes because of the current situation. Eight wildfires are burning California currently. Sonoma's wine country to L.A and surrounding areas. Get out if you haven't already.""Holy...." Jevan said when images of the fires showed on the screen. It looked like Hell. Jevan started making some calls and after minutes of watching him paced the bedroom and ordering commands, he turned his attention back to me."Baby, listen to me. I need you to get yourself and the kids to New York with my parents.""What? What about you?""I'm going back to L. A. There's something I need at Hollen Tower and at the mansion. I promise I'll meet up with you in New York. Okay, baby?""Okay, but..""No buts. Let's get going."**We packed up our b
Hunter's POVMy father slammed his hands on his desk after ushering me into his office and shut the door behind him."WHAT THE HELL, HUNTER! I've had just about enough from you," he started with a shouted.I scoffed."Oh, you think this shit is funny, huh? You have everything a guy your age dreams about. I established a company for you to grow but yet, you can't keep out of trouble.""You're the one to talk! You think giving me the company makes up for abandoning mom and I?""Hunter! I didn't abandon you! Your mom and I just couldn't stand being in the same room together anymore so I left. That had nothing to do with you. I was there.""No, you weren't there! You were only there to clean up my mess but you weren't there as a father should be for his child. His son!""Listen to me because I'm only going to say this one time. Stay the fuck away from The Hollens. That includes Blossom Wright. You kidnap
Jevan's POV"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?!" I bellowed at my security guard who was assigned to protect my woman and my daughter."Sir, I'm so sorry I don't have the answer to this question. I took Miss. Wright to the doctor's with the baby. Everything went smoothly there. Afterwards, Miss. Wright ordered me to a shopping boutique where she tried on a dress. After leaving, she noticed she forgot the bag with the baby's belongings. I went back to get it. When I got back to the car, they were gone. No Miss. Wright. No baby," he explained."You. Had. One. Job. ONE! And now my fiancee and my daughter are missing! Did you call the police?""I did. They're investigating as we speak."My jaw tightened. I tried calling Blossom's cellphone again and it kept going to voicemail.I was unsettled. I wanted them both home where they belong. I called my father next."I don't know what to do," my voice broke when I explained what occ
