Kiara's povAfter my husband spotted that accusation it took me a long time to recover myself before I did I was just standing looking at him appearing as if I was nothing more than an inanimate statue that could not even breathe when I was finally able to catch my breath I have still not he meant by what he said that I could not even understand it.Response to this was to drag me and then more or less push me to the bed then he shoved his phone into my arms in the same manner as if he wanted me to break down in tears but I decided to keep a straight face even though I was feeling shattered inside.Despite his initial cold attitude, I thought that he would be overwhelmed and pleased with the news that we were going to have a baby to imagine that he was feeling any other way was mind-blowing to me because he had always hinted to me that he would love to build a family to me but now all of a sudden that I told him that our collective dream was about to come true he was acting as if it w
Kiara povTwo weeks passed and I could not take it anymore not for another second I have been trying my best to put myself together to come to the office everyday and then return back home even though everybody made a fool of me and everybody made me feel like a complete joke and not only that I was basically being treated like trash I had been treated badly before but at least I could hold up to the somewhat comforting feeling of knowing that all of these people were just using me as a punching bag even though I was innocent but so many of them have convinced themselves that I was the one pretending to be a victim while they were the ones simply bringing Justice to me but I didn't deserve Justice at least not against me because I was innocent.Just when I thought that things couldn't get any worse I woke up one day to another heartbreaking realization normally I was trying to adjust to everybody whispering to themselves whenever they saw me in the office but today as I got into my ow
Kiara's povThroughout the entire drive I was pleading with the man that I called my husband that I didn't want to go through with this abortion but he played deaf ears to me. It was almost as if I was trying to pour water into a basket and anyone could even tell what the results of that was.Completely pointless.The only thing that I was relieved about was that at one point he finally stopped driving like a maniac but that didn't mean that he stopped looking like one all of the veins in his head was clearly visible and his face was looking red like a volcano that was about to implode at any moment it made it hard for me to even speak sometimes my throat feeling scratched and tight, but I had to say something.He was about to blindly murder his own child. After all, I couldn't just keep quiet and wrap my hands around myself with the seatbelt on me and look out the window as if there wasn't a care in the world inside of my head because there definitely was."Bryant, I promise you that
Kiara's povWithout anything that is added to the way he was dragging me, we made our way into the clinic as he opened the glass doors and pulled me through as if I told him that I was running away in the first place and I was but it wasn't as if I was capable of doing it while he had his iron grip on me.There was a section that had some comfortable-looking cushions shared in the clinic and he pushed me into one of them with a stern gaze and he told me that if I got up and tried to run away I was going to regret it for the rest of my life.I sniffled after he said this and then I responded saying that I wasn't going to try and go anywhere. He gave me one last hard stare before he went over to a lady at the counter and started speaking to her. After a while, he came for me dragging me up to the counter. The lady looked at us with confusion but she didn't say anything she ended up asking me some questions like my name and a couple of hours I also met up with another lady that I asked m
Kiara's povI kept crying until the tears could no longer come out of my eyes and they felt stuck somewhere inside of me, until my body could not log in trouble like a leaf I continued until I felt that it was the most futile thing I could do right now suddenly I came to this disconnected realization that my baby was already dead basically murdered by his own father.Once again my eyes went over to the blood that was before me the agony image would forever be written in my mind but right now it didn't break me down like it had only moments ago.Rather I felt a strange sense of adrenaline suddenly rushing across every bone in my body pumping inside of me making me unable to sit still.I have to escape. I can not continue to see the face of the man who killed my child.As soon as this thought was planted in my mind there was no chance of operating it. Despite the numbing I felt in my lower body I was not going to allow it to discourage me from my escape.So I carried myself and I start
Kiara's pov"Sweetheart, are you cold?" My mother asked me as we shuffled together again ourselves to find some worms under the roof of stars, only one that we could claim anything to since we couldn't rent a house.The moment we stepped into this place we had been robbed of every material valuable thing we had except for the clothes on our backs.Since then we have been sleeping on the streets having to move often from time to time once the environment became too unfavorable and then we were basically eating off of the kindness of strangers and it may be in some dumpsters of fast food joints and restaurants.Life was completely pathetic for us.Nights like this, when the cold would sink into our clothes that have been given to us by a charity I will begin to feel so foolish of the thoughts that I had in the bus coming to this place. I used to think that things would be so different that I would finally have some control of my life maybe…"Mum sorry this is all my fault," I apologize
Bryant pov"Sir, you have a meeting in exactly 20 minutes and you are drunk…?"I looked at the slim lady with the bob cut who was now my secretary she was a middle-aged single mother and I felt like those two attributes had been very important in getting her casted for the job, while she did her duties very well it wasn't healing to anybody that she found her job putting her at her ropes end.The reason for that will probably be me.These days I couldn't get motivated to do basically anything. I was constantly fatigued wanting to crawl into a hole and just end my activities for the day before I had even begun anything.My grandmother and Anna quickly noticed the lackadaisical behavior and they had been at my neck breathing down demanding to know why I was acting this way, especially towards the business normally if I became lackadaisical about anything the business did not have to suffer.But suddenly I have lost the will to care.".... So what may have…what does me being drunk have t
Bryant pov"You should know that the best thing you can do for yourself right now is to get back with Anna,"This was the brief advice that my grandmother gave to me when she invited me over to her room to speak with her personally she did not mention anything about the drunken incident where I had disgraced myself in front of the entire board of directors she made no mention of it but I knew that some birds had whispered it in her ear and the look of disgust that slightly seem to shift in her face told me that she was just holding back what she wanted to say."I feel like if you get back together with Anna your life will be put together again as well don't you think so?" She suggested it to me and she took a sip of her tea.I wanted to believe my grandmother and what she said. Maybe that was why I was feeling this aching in my heart every single day, especially when I came back and I saw my bed looking bare and empty.So I decided to get back together with Anna. I called her on the
Kiara's pov "Doctor please can you save him?" The doctor looked at me with pity saying that he was going to do everything he could but it wasn't looking very good for my father as he turned around and dashed into the ICU unit before I could settle into the waiting room Bryant and my mother quickly arrived to the scene and by that time he is really running down my face. I had no idea that man would ever be able to take a bullet for me. I thought he wouldn't even care if I died so listening to the advice that he gave me didn't seem to make any sense. Tears were coming down heavily even as Bryant wrapped his hands around me and my mother kept pleading to me what happened. So through my tears, I was able to narrate everything to my mother and the father of my children and I watched as their faces gradually became pale then my mother came over to me touching my cheek. "Are you saying that man really took a bullet for you?" My mother asked me and honestly, I wasn't surprised that she w
Kiara's povI looked at my phone again as it started ringing and vibrating on top of my desk it was from an unknown number or technically the number was not unknown because I knew it was coming from my wretched father that was if I could even call that my father anymore after all the years that he had abandoned me and my mother his daughter that he flew away he just walked back into our life as if nothing happened as if leaving us to struggle for so many years is nothing. As if that was something that we could just easily sweep under the carpet and forget about.I remember the first time I mistakenly picked up an unknown number thinking that it was probably related to business since that was not completely coming and I couldn't believe it when I heard his voice from the other side of the line telling me that he had run into my mother sometime ago and after doing some digging here he was able to get my phone number I didn't allow him to say anything else before I quickly cut off the c
Mr. Horris povIn the years that I have been married to my wife, I knew that she was capable of a lot of things and many of them were not exactly something that was supposed to be spoken outside to other people, however, I used to believe that she had limits.But after what I just discovered I found out that she definitely didn't when I tried to donate blood for Anna I was surprised when the doctor called me over to his office and told me that I was not a match for my daughter and that they would have to personally look for another donor this immediately made my suspicious and my instincts did not allow me to forget it so while she was at the hospital bed I asked the doctors to do a DNA test for me and Anna and the result was what I had in front of my wife right now the wife that had lied to me for several years and made me think that a child that wasn't my own was mine all this time.I had raised her with all the love that I had with all the love that I never gave to my true daughter
Harris povI was completely overtaken by shock when I heard you that my beloved daughter was in the hospital back and immediately I called out for her father who was in the other room rushing to him with tears running down my face he was focused on a TV and it took him a while to finally look at me and he saw the tears running down my face then he hardly told me that I could buy what I wanted to if I let him the rest of his program I told him that it had nothing to do with a purchase.I told him that our only daughter is at the hospital right now and immediately he began about asking me what happened I told him that I had got a call from somebody who claimed to be a friend of our daughter saying that he had found her in her hotel room bleeding really badly and she had been rushed to the hospital I showed him the address on the hospital with a map app that I had and told him that we have to leave as soon as possible."Who could have possibly done such a thing to our daughter let's go!"
Oscar's pov"I'm guessing that you were not expecting to see me,"After waiting five Long years I had finally seen her again and my heart was racing from the moment I got news that she was in the pack once more. It must have been destiny saying that we were meant to be together even though from the horrified look on her face.I was guessing that she didn't know that I was supposed to be in her life and she should have shown more excitement after seeing me for over 5 years I had been following her in the shadows all this time but now that she was finally alone in a restaurant that was far enough from the company that I wasn't expecting Bryant to be popping up anytime soon I wanted to meet up with her and I sat across her on the table that she has chosen"Oscar, whatever you have to say to me I am not interested in hearing it after everything you have done. It is just best that you keep your distance away from me."She spoke in such a bad manner as if she was speaking to an enemy but I
Anna's povThey were having another candle-lit dinner tonight and I watched them. A couple of tables were going with the glass of Champagne shaking in my hand almost to the point of tumbling down and falling to the floor but somehow I managed to keep the balance before dropping it back on the table feeling like my head was about to explode and my heart was about to follow it a moment later.How did things end up this way? 3 days ago I was expecting to be married and spending the rest of my life with a man who was now having a romantic dinner with another woman. How could he do this to me?Just like I expected my friends were calling me and asking questions, and many of them who were not actually my friends had taken this as an opportunity to laugh at me. I knew that many of them were talking to me behind my back.I thought that I was going to lose my mind at any time,What gave them the right to be so happy after they had taken any chance of happiness away from me? What gave them the
Kiara's pov "Have you heard the hottest gossip in town?"I was in the company's cafeteria having my lunch because I wasn't going to have another afternoon looking across the table and seeing Brian's face normally it was easy for me to control the hatred that I had been nursing for the past five years as diligently as I took care of my own children but yesterday I had even caught myself laughing with him that was completely uncalled for I thought that the walls I had built up around myself were high and mighty.I had convinced myself that my wall stood so high and mighty that there was nothing that could ever bring it down but as the days passed by I noticed that he would often come to my mind and it would summon the boiling anger that it normally did.Sometimes I would even find myself smiling at him and the thought of him but the moment reality slapped me sharply across the face I was able to gather myself again but that didn't mean that I wasn't slacking off.This meant that I was
Anna's pov I was waiting expectantly to hear from Bryant's grandmother, and when she finally called me over to meet her in a coffee shop I was hoping to hear good news. "Anna you might have to give up on my grandson,"The mocha I was slowly sipping when she said this to me immediately the taste become bitter in my mouth. The next thing I did was to gradually drop them as gently as somebody dropping a bomb."What do you mean by that? How can I possibly give up on him? Our wedding is just 4 days away now. I can't possibly think of giving up. Everything is already prepared. I have invited all of my influential friends to come. Do you know how humiliating it's going to be to tell them that the wedding is not going to hold?"Even as I was saying all of this to her all she just did was to stretch her back and shrug helplessly she should be able to do more than this was it because she was becoming too old it was hard I was relying on her to set his head straight not for her to come and wa
Kiara's pov In my life I was used to the struggles that came about me at this point it felt like a normality. Having my triplets I thought that life was finally coming to a meaningful point.I thought that I finally came to a balance that made sense but I was wrong about it. I had only imagined that everything was going right and all of a sudden that balance and falling apart into a million pieces without me realizing it. How could I be staying under the same roof as the man that broke my heart 5 years ago? How could I be allowing him to speak to my children freely? These questions ran through my mind without answers and I thirsted for it.I came down after another stressful work day not knowing what was waiting for me at the parking lot what I did not expect was that the tire of my car would be shredded and all the air let out of it now I was stranded in this place because I hadn't brought any cash that will be enough to take me back to that place."Are you having issues?" He popped
