Kiara's povI knew that I should not have allowed myself to be carried away by him but I couldn't help the fact that my foolish heart had wanted to dream.Propping myself on the bed I stared at the door longingly, wondering when he was going to show up again. Soon the door cracked open and my heart beat with immense joy thinking that he was at the other side but when the person on the other side was revealed it was just a maid.It wasn't Bryant.The amount of disappointment I felt was immense as my heart sank and my back rested against the pillow on the bed tiredly.I thanked the maid but I noticed she didn't respond. Rather she was busy giving me a very dirty look, while she was holding the tray of food.In an attempt to ignore her blatant glaring, I reached out for the tray without pointing out what she was doing but then she held on to it as if her life depended on that tray of food. At this point, I could no longer stay silent."Are you planning to give this to me or are you going
Kiara povI never imagined that the Alpha would take such good care of me, to me it seemed like a dream that I was scared of waking up from. But everyday I reminded myself that eventually, I would have to.This kind of treatment from him only comes out of circumstances. Eventually, he will not welcome me with breakfast in bed.He wouldn't watch me eat with this glittery look in his eyes and he wouldn't ask if I had taken my medication…he wouldn't even care about anything other than me being under the same roof as him and being a figurehead for the position of wife.Thinking about this was enough to rapidly diminish my appetite early one morning when I noticed that I was gradually getting better and I knew that Bryant was also noticing it as well because he expressed it with much glee."It looks like the medication is working, isn't it?"He asked me, I didn't respond and just nodded in agreement. I noticed that he shifted closer to me as he sat on the bed while I was lying down on it a
Bryant pov"I hope that wench is out of your room?" this was the opening speech of my grandmother the moment she saw me at our next encounter she was so eager to know if I had gotten rid of Kiara it made my stomach twist up for a second before I settled on a chair that was opposite has in the living room and finally gave her the information that would allow her to get a good night rest."Yes she is out of my room and I don't think it is necessary for you to be calling her such foul names,"She stared at me blatantly for some seconds flipping her eyelashes before placing a dramatic hand on her chest and asking me if I was talking about her in that regard I told her that she was the only one I could have been referring to but I didn't like the way my wife was being treated.Once again she was staring at me as if I was growing a hornOn the back of my head without my own realization."My dear be serious since when did you become this woman's body guard?""I am not her bodyguard", I said
Kiara povI didn't imagine that I would get the chance to be moved into a much better room than the one I had been staying in before.The one I had stayed before looked as if it was actually meant to store animals and maybe they just saw me in that regard.So it definitely wasn't the fanciest living space but it was definitely a better standard than the dignified box I had to call a room before, now I was so excited that I didn't even mind the maid behind me that was shooting arrows at the back of my head.Alpha Bryant had asked her to help me with my luggage and setting the room in order so that I could stay here it only took us less than half an hour working together to put everything in the way it was supposed to be and I was glad when I looked at it it had really livened up with a flower vase and some curtains.I was adjusting to the flower and then I could no longer ignore the fact that this woman was trying to burn a hole through the side of my head from the way she was glaring
Kiara povDespite the fact that I had told myself that I was not going to be moved no matter how his reaction was going to be after I had left his room I had to admit that I had been really disappointed when he walked past me as if he had never even met me before, much less married me.The only difference in his movement that had indicated that I was around was the fact that he had done it so quickly as if he was so eager not to even notice my presence anymore to even care that I was there for any other reason other than to avoid me.Despite the fact of my hands when I was shaking and I wanted to cry quietly in my new room I had to still deliver the lunch to his grandmother so I continued to make my trip until I arrived at her door and when I did it took a few knocks for her to finally summon me into her abode.With a cynical expression on her face, she asked me if I was the one delivering the food, and then with a confused expression on mine, I agreed feeling tempted to ask her if sh
Bryant povIf anyone has ever told me that I would take such an interest in this woman I would have stared at them for a couple of seconds before throwing my head back in a sarcastic laugh and telling them that they were out of their mind.But apparently, I was the one that was out of my mind now because even when I was in my office I will immediately think of checking the cameras and seeing how she was doing, but this was an activity that usually only bore fruits during the evening and early in the morning because between those times was when she was working the most.I had not realized how much she had been made to work like a beast of burden even though most of the maids were not given the amount of work that she had.And while she was evidently tired she still continued with the work diligently not slacking off in anything, whenever I would come across her physically she would look so drained I wondered if she could even recognize me and the next thing I would notice was her stari
Kiara povA heavy sigh immediately escaped my lips when I finally relaxed on my bed after a full day of chores I thought that I was going to break down today. It felt like my workload was becoming heavier and heavier but who was I going to complain to?Perhaps the husband that showed little to no interest in me and anything that I was doing, it was foolish for me to judge one little incident and assume that he actually cared about me when it was just because of the circumstances and nothing else I'm sure that if I feel sick like that on my own he will probably not notice or care at all."Why am I even bothering myself with this?" I ask myself an honest question as I brush my fingers across my face and then I hear a sound from my door distracting me from my self-loathing."Could that be him?"I whispered to myself it was very unlikely to be the Alpha grandmother because since I have packed into this room she has never come to visit me in fact she doesn't care if I exist. And it can't
Kiara povI should have known that eventually I would be summoned by the Alpha grandmother, she was looking quite displeased when I finally came face to face with her after her other grandson had been punished for trying to assault me.As I walked into her room I thought that the whole reason was to apologize for her grandson's behavior. I guess I had become a little cocky just like how the other maids said to imagine that this woman would see me as someone of any value at all that deserves an apology even in such an extreme situation.From the moment I stepped into her room I could feel the resentment that was boiling over from her and when my eyes crossed hers she made little to no attempt to hide how upset she was."I see that you have finally succeeded…"She said as the door closed behind me and my eyes went wide wondering what I had finally succeeded with then with a roll of her eyes she told me that I had finally got her other grandson kicked out because of my own actions.My ja
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
