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"So what did you say your name was?"The young man who ran into me was ironically the most fortunate thing that has happened to me in quite some time because of him I and my mother were taken off of the streets and he would come to help me far more than that all the first thing he did was pay for our hospital bills which made me feel really awkward."Imagine that you are paying for my mother but I feel guilty that you are also paying for me as well. It was just an accident…"I said to him one day that he came to visit her and then he shook his head saying that he should have been far more careful and obviously he had to take responsibility for what he had done instead of just looking away.His name was Miguel and many times he would ask me about my past but eventually he stopped doing so when he noticed that every single time that he did it I seemed to teleport to another world and my eyes would become darkened and cold then in a stiff voice.I would simply tell him that I
Kiara's povI looked at my sleeping kids with obvious adoration painted in my eyes. They were all wrapped up hugging each other as they normally did when they slept and I kept watching them until my phone started to vibrate and I quickly rushed out of the bedroom so that I would not end up waking them."Miguel…" I said out the name of my caller after I had stepped out of the bedroom, my ears were first blasted by a breathy response from him before he spoke more audibly."Kiara, I'm so sorry dear, for not calling you earlier…" he said apologetically and I shook my head."You don't have to feel so bad.." I responded to him, I had been so busy thinking about so many things that not getting a call from him was the last thing on my mind."How are the kids?" He asked."I'm sure that they must be missing me now for sure…"He said trying to sound confident, but there were cracks in his voice that exposed his doubt in his own words."They probably are," I lied right through my teeth knowing th
Kiara's povI took a long and contemplative sip of my coffee before I placed it back on its saucer then my mind went over to my kids who were still dozing off in bed they had gotten so excited coming here but now they were completely drained and they were sleeping like logs of woods but deep down inside I appreciated that they had calmed down considerably because it gave me a chance to go over the proceeds of the job that I came here for.After I ended up in the streets I never thought that I would be able to work in the industry again I've burst I thought out the only thing that I would be able to get was a waitress at a dingy looking bar or restaurant that wasn't going to pay me enough an hour to even sustain myself much less my kids and my mum as well speaking of my mum just as I thought of that she started calling me on phone."Hi mum good morning, is there any reason why you're calling me so early?""Does a mother need a reason to call the doctor? I just wanted you to know how yo
Bryant's povAs the sun rays penetrated into my room I asked myself the same question that I did every single day when my senses came to myself and I realised that every luxury I enjoyed was not free; Did I really have to go to work today?At first, the answer would always be no, but then after a couple of seconds of contemplation I would realize that there were far more unpleasant things that I could do that today than going to work so I would end up dragging my body off of the bed and beginning my morning rituals before I made my way to the office.I sat in the back of my car bringing down the windscreen and telling my chauffeur to bring up the music in the vehicle so that I could drown myself in it, then I looked out to the open straight watching the images in front of me blur past almost as if it was just an illusion being cursed in front of my eyes and not reality that I could reach out and touch.Then out of nowhere, I saw her."Stop!" I know that my chauffeur as if I just saw f
Bryant's povMy Beta was looking at me expectantly, probably expecting me to jump through the roof with the news that he had just given me but instead of doing it I just returned my eyes back to my desk and opened up my laptop typing away as if he had not said anything at all.He was looking completely struck with shock as if he couldn't believe his eyes and probably because he couldn't he might have been able to imagine that somebody that I had been craving to see for several years had been spotted right across the street and I had no interest in seeing her. He got up and he looked as if he was struggling desperately to get something out of his pocket after a while he brought out his phone and then started slapping his finger across it until he seemed to come across what he was looking for his smile spreading across his face like the butter as he turned his screen around in my direction."Maybe you have your doubts so I took a picture just in case," he said, still managing to keep a
Bryant's pov"There is something different about you today," my best friend said to me after we stepped into the coffee shop and sat down it was time for lunch in the company so we decided to go to a quiet and calm place unruffle some of the stress that we had gathered up inside of ourselves since morning running a multi-millionaire company was definitely no easy task after all.I always preferred for my coffee to be more bitter and my friend likes his more sweet with cream and chocolate and sugar to the point that he might as well have just ordered everything else without the coffee so I was getting a black coffee and he was getting himself a Mocha.But as we waited for it to arrive we continued to talk conversing about many things as I made no reference to what his comment about me looking different today as I held up my phone I turned off the screen for a moment to try to see if there was anything different about my physical features but I couldn't find anything so don't worry I he
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
